Lu Henge found it even easier to set up the Plague Formation again.
But this time...
Lu Henge spent much longer making arrangements than last time.
Because Lu Henge was going to set up a super-large plague array to devour as many snake bloodlines as possible, the larger the area covered by the plague array, the better.
certainly.
Lu Henge understood perfectly.
Even if the Plague Array has a large range, it is impossible to completely devour all the remaining snake bloodlines here.
Firstly.
The remaining snake bloodline here is too large.
It would take Lu Henge a very long time to devour it all, which is neither enough time for him nor necessary for him to devour so much.
Secondly.
If he goes too far, the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes might get angry.
There must be some kind of will existing in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.
This will silently protects the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave from the shadows. It won't appear easily, but if Lu Henge goes too far, the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave will definitely not sit idly by.
so.
Lu Henge's idea was very simple.
Once he has absorbed the bloodlines of tens of thousands of different snake species, he will stop.
Several more days passed.
The Plague Array is complete.
Lu Henge injected the calamity-inducing poison into it.
In an instant.
The Plague Array was activated, its terrifying devouring power consuming everything within its range. Then, through a secondary digestion process, a portion of it was fed back to Lu Henge.
The shed snake skins on the ground turned grayish-white and brittle at a visible speed, turning into powder and dust in the air with the slightest breeze.
The broken eggshells that hatched countless baby snakes are also disappearing little by little.
Upon seeing this.
Meng Po and Di Xin whispered to each other, "Where do you think that snake went?"
Meng Po was actually still worried that the Nine-Headed Venerable was hiding in the shadows.
after all.
This is a progenitor.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
not to mention.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes is the territory of snake creatures, and it has a certain blessing on the Nine-Headed Venerable who possesses snake blood.
Di Xin's dark golden eyes flickered slightly: "It's strange. During the fight, I planted a wisp of the Human Emperor's aura on him, but I can't sense the location of this wisp of the Human Emperor's aura."
"Either he discovered this wisp of the Human Emperor's aura and annihilated it, or he has already left this place."
Upon hearing this...
Meng Po said with certainty, "He definitely didn't leave."
The Nine-Headed Venerable's purpose in coming to the Cave of Ten Thousand Serpents was not for Lu Henge, but for half of the Book of Creation Prophecy. He had not yet achieved his goal and could not leave willingly.
Di Xin said softly, "But I don't think the first possibility is very likely either. If he had killed my aura as the Human Emperor, I should have been able to sense it, instead of not feeling anything at all like this."
Meng Po pondered for a moment.
Suddenly.
She thought of a possibility: "Do you think there might be an inner and outer part of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave? We are currently only in the outer area of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, while that snake has hidden in the inner area."
Emperor Xin remained silent.
Much later.
Di Xin spoke up: "I have an idea. Meng Po, you have the most acute sense of souls. Let's use the methods of searching for souls in the underworld to search this place."
soul?
Meng Po was taken aback.
But soon.
Meng Po understood what Di Xin meant.
For any living being, there are almost two major events in their life. The first is birth, which means the beginning of the being's life and the start of its cause and effect in the world.
The second thing is death.
But death is different from birth.
Birth is inevitable.
Every living being must go through the process of birth in order to come into the world.
But death is not necessarily an option.
To give a very simple example.
That is the pseudo-immortality method that has been circulating in the cultivation world and is even known to mortals: possession and rebirth.
Theoretically speaking...
As long as one has a suitable physical body and one's soul is not weak, the success rate of possession and rebirth will be very high.
even.
To put it even more dramatically.
Possession and rebirth can be repeated indefinitely, thus achieving so-called immortality.
certainly.
There is a price to pay for doing this.
However, compared to the cost of death, the cost of this possession and rebirth is negligible.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Whether it is birth, death, or even rebirth through possession, there will be fluctuations in the soul.
This is easy to understand and doesn't need much explanation.
Anything involving the soul is Meng Po's forte. After all, she has spent so much time in the underworld and has handled countless souls.
These young snakes hatch from snake eggs, signifying true birth, and are therefore accompanied by faint fluctuations of their souls. These fluctuations of the souls are different from bloodline and aura, and are almost permanent.
Di Xin's meaning was clear: he suspected that there was a space here related to souls.
Or rather...
The Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes provides another form of protection for these serpentine creatures.
"Keep an eye on that kid."
Meng Po gave a reminder.
Di Xin hummed in agreement.
Meng Po appears to be resting with her eyes closed, but in reality she is searching for all the souls in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.
From Meng Po's perspective, everything inside the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes had changed. There were no shed snake skins or broken eggshells to hurt one's feet; only clusters of flames floated in the air.
These flames are the soul.
To be precise.
These flames are the remnants of souls.
