Chapter 1399: The Seven Ancestral Serpents

Chapter 1399: The Seven Ancestral SerpentsThis was the first time Lin Mu had heard of an acquaintance of Xukong.

Lin Mu knew that Xukong's status was high and so was his cultivation base. There weren't many that could compare to him, as even the Saintess was suppressed by him. Thus it only made him wonder who could the acquaintance of Xukong be like.

After all, if they could be Xukong's acquaintance, they would be on his level too. Or at the very least, they would be close to it.

"An acquaintance of yours senior? Then are they... also like you?" Lin Mu questioned with great curiosity.

"Mmhmm... you can say that. The founder of the Serpent Moon Sect is also a beast like me... just a different kind of beast." Xukong answered.

"Then what about the sect? If the founder is on your level, just how strong is the sect?" Lin Mu asked next.

"The Serpent Moon Sect is a great power and is known in billions of worlds. They have several Celestials and the number of immortals they have are simply too many.

They also control several worlds and own them. Their own sect uses an entire planet as their base. And that is simply their main branch, they have several sub branches as well several subordinate sects." Xukong explained in detail.

Hearing all this, Lin Mu felt like his mind was being expanded.

"Such a strong power and she... is the Saintess of that sect? Above even the sect master?" Lin Mu was stunned. 'But despite being that strong, she is still suppressed by Senior Xukong... truly amazing.' He thought in marvel.

But this was not the end of Lin Mu's questions as he still had several more on his plate.

"Do you know about these Seven Ancestral Serpents, Senior?" Lin Mu questioned Xukong.

"I do not. This is the internal information of the Serpent Moon Sect so you should just ask her instead." Xukong stated.

"Alright senior." Lin Mu focused his attention on the Saintess back again.

It hadn't even been ten seconds since the Saintess had spoken, but that was more than enough for Lin Mu and Xukong to have an entire conversation.

"These Seven Ancestral Serpents... so the twins are part of them too?" Lin Mu asked, wanting to know more.

"Yes. You can say that they are the final two of the Seven Ancestral Serpents." The Saintess replied.

"Then what are the other ones?" Lin Mu asked with interest. "Maybe I can help you?" he said knowing best way to obtain more information was the expression of goodwill.

'While the Ancestral Serpents are almost equally strong, the Yin Yang Twin Serpents are still at the top among them. At least when they are fully grown... for now they are still too weak.' The Saintess gazed at the twins that were still in a trance.

She was brought out of her thoughts when Lin Mu spoke again.

"So since you are collecting the Seven Ancestral Serpents, do you want them too?" Lin Mu questioned feeling a bit heavy.

He knew if she wanted to take them away, there was nothing he could do. Even with them being tamed beast, he couldn't go against strength that was quite literally at the pinnacle of a higher world.

"I do... our sect's directives command that the Seven Ancestral Serpents be returned to the sect. You might not know, but each of the serpents are enough to reach the peak of Celestials and even higher.

There aren't many powers that know about them, but those that do know of them are old powers existing since old times. If they learn about the seven ancestral serpents reappearing, they will do everything in their power to get rid of them.

In ancient times, the Seven Ancestral Serpents had shocked the heavens and suppressed millions of worlds." The Saintess answered.

Hearing this Lin Mu's heart got heavier.

'It might be futile, but I can't just give them up.' Lin Mu decided.

"I'm sorry but I can't give them to you. They are my tamed beasts and I have raised them." Lin Mu stated firmly.

He was fully expecting the Saintess to be offended, but much to his surprise she showed no reaction.

"That's the thing. You have already tamed them, which has never been done before. The bloodline of the Seven Ancestral Serpents is very domineering and no one should be able to tame them.

And yet... you've done that." The Saintess spoke calmly.

"Then, what are you going to do." Lin Mu asked.

"I do not know how to resolve this." The Saintess shook her head. "You having them will bring trouble to you as well. There will be someone that will eventually recognize them. And it will be very dangerous." She warned.

"I'll deal with them when it comes to that." Lin Mu said without fear. "What kind of a cultivator would I be if I cower in front of threats that haven't even arrived?" he stated.

"I see... no wonder you are worthy of his tutelage." The Saintess muttered.
