Chapter 27: Shi Zhong Retrieves His Mount

  A gentle breeze blew by, although it's said that the Desolate World is now full of danger, but to Shi Zhong, this Desolate World was still a resort. At this moment, Shi Zhong lay on top of a seven-colored cloud.

  This cloud shuttle is also considered quite precious in the Honghuang world, because this multi-cloud shuttle is none other than the famous seven-colored cloud mother of the Honghuang world. The seven-colored cloud mother is not easy to find, you know that wanting a good cloud shuttle requires spending a lot of time and effort, otherwise it's impossible to get a good one.

  In fact, if this cultivator has a cloud chariot, then his speed of traveling through the clouds would not be comparable to that of ordinary cultivators. Especially when it comes to the difference between having a good cloud chariot and not having one at all, it's even harder to compare.

  Taking Sun Wukong as an example, the speed of his筋斗 cloud's movement is not actually very fast. It was only because Bodhi Patriarch gave Sun Wukong a five-colored divine cloud that his speed reached an astonishing 108,000 miles in just one thought. To know how many thoughts a cultivator has in one second, especially a powerful cultivator like Golden Immortal who can have even more thoughts in one second. So, this is actually much faster than the speed of light.

  Shi Zhong also came out alone to the vast wilderness after entrusting everything, wanting to play in the wilderness world once again. After all, although he had played before, at that time his main purpose was still to find spiritual treasures or opportunities, so he didn't put all his thoughts on this. But this time, he mainly came to have fun and cultivate his emotions. The leisurely and carefree scenes along the way, sleeping under the sky and walking on the earth, singing with the wind, going wherever he pleased. This kind of life is truly enjoyable.

  "This is what they call the East Sea, and it's really boundless! This seawater can't be compared to the seawater on Earth." Shi Zhong gazed out at the endless East Sea with a sigh.

  However, the seawater on Earth can't be compared to the seawater in this vast and chaotic world. Take the water quality for example, the seawater in this world is filled with innate spiritual energy, although it's not as dense as the one on the Desolate Continent, but such a concentration of spiritual energy can't be found in ordinary places. Especially in the East Sea of this world, the spiritual energy in the seawater is even more concentrated than in other places.

  In contrast, the seawater on Earth is polluted by industrialization everywhere, and every year, a large number of fish are killed by toxic water. Moreover, the size of the East Sea in this world can't be compared to that of the Earth, just one island may have an area as large as the entire Earth.

  At this moment, a golden giant python suddenly drilled out of the sea, opening its bloody mouth towards Shi Zhong, as if it was going to swallow him alive. Moreover, looking at the cultivation of this golden giant python, it was not ordinary, already in the early stage of Jinxian, and it had not transformed into human form yet. Generally speaking, even mid-ranking innate demon gods would transform into human form when they reached the Jinxian cultivation level, but this golden python had not transformed, and it didn't seem like an innate demon god either, it must have some special physique.

  To talk about this special quality, Shi Zhong also knew some of it. Some living beings, even if they are not innate demon gods, have cultivation talents that are no weaker than those of innate demon gods. However, they do not possess the same great luck as innate demon gods. Therefore, if such a type of living being does not have any spiritual treasures to suppress their own luck, it is likely to be very difficult for them to live until they achieve success. This is because having good qualifications without corresponding luck to protect oneself will lead to heavenly jealousy.

  Generally, there are powerful physiques like the Hongmeng Body (which has never appeared in the Chaos World, but is rumored to exist), the Chaos Body (rarely appears in the Chaos World, and cultivators who possess it usually have high achievements, either becoming a hegemon or being untouchable, like Pangu, a strong existence that created an entire world, although the reincarnation system has not been established yet, all other laws are more complete than those of the Great Thousand Worlds), Shi Zhong also unexpectedly achieved the Chaos Body after creating a Chaos World within himself. Then there's the Law Body (born with the ability to contain all laws, but with prerequisites, that is, cultivation must reach certain requirements, its preciousness is not inferior to the Chaos Body, and some people even prefer the Law Body over the Chaos Body!), the Xuanhuang Body, the Five Elements Body, the Yin-Yang Body, the Jiuyang Body, the Jiuyin Body... If one cultivates with the corresponding methods for these special physiques, their cultivation speed will be envied by all cultivators.

  Shi Zhong's eyes flashed with the fluctuations of this law, and a yin-yang dual-energy light shot towards the golden python that was attacking him.

  "Ah!" The python, struck by Shi Zhong's dual-energy blast, suddenly felt a searing pain throughout its body and let out a frenzied cry. Its massive tail, hundreds of feet long, thrashed about on the surface of the sea, sending waves crashing high into the air, towering over Shi Zhong like a deluge.

  But like this small wave, how could Shizhong put it in his eyes? Shizhong didn't do anything else, he just looked at the giant wave with a fierce gaze, and the giant wave seemed to be afraid of him, collapsing on the spot. If there were cultivators from the Law Domain again, they would definitely be shocked that Shizhong was the one who had just glanced at the giant wave with an seemingly ordinary look, as if he was trying to scare a child.

  Actually, Shi Zhong's eyes were filled with spatial laws when he looked at the giant wave. The spatial laws collapsed in an instant, causing the space where the giant wave was to collapse as well. As a result, the giant wave seemed to be afraid of Shi Zhong's gaze, like a punctured balloon that had lost its air.

  At this time, Shi Zhong also saw that the golden giant python was not an ordinary snake species. This snake had a body known as the Nine Yangs, and since it didn't have any spiritual treasures suppressing its body, it hadn't transformed into human form yet. Shi Zhong believed that if this snake didn't have any more strange encounters, it would probably be unlucky during its transformation tribulation.

  Shi Zhong looked at the snake and thought that in mythological history, some famous immortals had their own mounts. Those saints' mounts were extraordinary, and it was rare to find an opponent outside who could match them. As for himself, since coming to the Honghuang world, he still didn't have his own mount, which was really unacceptable! Moreover, having a decent mount would also give him some face.

  Looking at the golden python in front of him, its selling point was really good, and more importantly, its qualifications were also very high. If he could subdue this python as his mount, it would be a great choice. After making up his mind, Shi Zhong didn't hold back anymore. After all, in the world of Honghuang, the strong decided everything, and to successfully subdue the golden python, one had to let it know that they had enough strength.

  After Shi Zhong's decision, the golden python was doomed. A wave of law peak pressure emanated from Shi Zhong's body and pressed down on the surroundings. The first to bear the brunt was this golden python. In an instant, its massive snake body, which had almost been suspended in mid-air, fell like a dead snake, landing with a huge splash on the surface of the sea, sending up hundreds of waves.

  The giant python, now on the surface of the sea, no longer has the ferocious look in its eyes as it did just now. What's left is only a frightened expression, with fear flashing in its eyes, and a pleading gaze like that of a wrongdoer begging for mercy. The python now looks like a child caught doing something wrong, full of grievance and fear.

  Shi Zhong saw that he had achieved his goal, so he dispersed the pressure and said to the giant python: "Since you have met me today, although you wanted to harm me, it can be considered a fate. To make up for your mistake, are you willing to become my mount?" After finishing speaking, he stared at the giant python with piercing eyes, waiting for its response, still carrying a hint of pressure.

  The giant python looked at the strong but unfamiliar cultivator in front of it, its eyes seeming to say that if it didn't obey, there would be no good outcome. The python's heart was already cursing Shi Zhong, thinking that despite his high cultivation level, he still had to show off in front of it, wasn't this just asking for trouble? Fortunately, Shi Zhong did not hear these words, or else even if he didn't want the mount anymore, he would probably slap the snake to death.

  In order to have a good day later, the giant python could only compromise. "Longtian is willing to be the mount of a true person!" It turns out that the golden giant python also has a name, which is Longtian. What Longtian said at this time can really be said to be as sincere as possible, it seems that he is still afraid of Shi Zhong.
