8 Stones of Eternity
Yellow Jade Snake.

Chapter 29. Yellow Jade Snake.

Cao Tian Jun who did not come out of the small cave, made everyone annoyed by the bored waiting. Finally, Senior Master Zhan Bowen who was unwell with the gazes of the teachers from the center, was inspired to enter the cave to see what his disciple was doing.

Fang Yin who saw it immediately followed, and was followed by Chu Sying and Team Phoenix. Junior Master Chu Sying Chun also did not miss out. And finally, everyone followed because they wanted to know.

Cao Tian Jun who sensed the aura of Senior Master Zhan Bowen and the many people arriving, immediately diverged the Formation Stone that had been cut. Yan Yan Yan also sensed it, and immediately transformed into a diamond necklace.

After storing a high quality Formation Stone, Cao Tian Jun pretended to admire the natural wealth within the cave, by looking at the translucent marble stone.

Senior Master Zhan Bowen immediately opened his mouth when he saw the cave of many precious stones, he was speechless. Fang Yin who saw the richness of the Flower Village region was not surprised, he approached Cao Tian Jun who was looking at the roof of the cave.

"Your words have been proven. With this discovery of yours, you become a person who has contributed greatly to the Flower Village as well as the Xia Empire," Fang Yin said as he took in the view of the marble stone passed by the water.

With the mining of Formation Stone and marble, it is certain that it will make the lives of the Flower Village residents prosperous, as well as the Xia Empire as its ruler.

Chu Sying hurriedly approached Cao Tian Jun, she spontaneously hugged Cao Tian Jun from behind in awe. Team Phoenix and Junior Master Chu Sying Chun swarmed over Cao Tian Jun and were met with much praise.

"Have you all trusted me?" cao Tian Jun asked everyone who had sneered at him.

Everyone who had not believed Cao Tian Jun's words were embarrassed, and no one commented or replied. In contrast to Senior Master Dong Jian who laughed happily with Cao Tian Jun's services.

"Today onwards, your name as the inventor of this place will be recorded in the White Dove Academy and also in the library of the Xia Empire. You have also been instrumental in exalting the name of our academy!" praise Senior Master Dong Jian as he patted Cao Tian Jun on the shoulder.

Daoist Yuma stroked his beard with a smile, he saw Cao Tian Jun had unlimited future potential, and planned to recruit him to join the Upper Cloud Temple.

"I will definitely tell this to the supreme leader of the Upper Cloud Temple. The Great Master Teachers must want him!" inner Daoist Yuma.

"Young Child, thank you for helping the lives of the Flower Village residents! With this place, it will indirectly improve the standard of living of the community. Me and representing the villagers once again thank you!" The Taoist physician was shameless to express his gratitude to Cao Tian Jun by fusing his two fists together in honor.

Cao Tian Jun replied by putting two fists together without saying a word, as he did not yet know how to properly socialize.

Then, Chen Taoran, the Taoist Physician and all the important people discussed regarding the discovery of natural resources. One of the teachers was ordered to report to Emperor Xia about this, and at once to report to the central White Pigeon Academy.

With the abundance of Formation Stones, then the plan to create a Protection Formation was no longer an obstacle. There was still time to mine and also carve out the patterns of the Formation Array in the Formation Stone.

The men of Flower Village immediately took out the mining tools, starting today they started working without any worries anymore. Previously, their job was hunting, farming and also as homestead entrepreneurs for the residence for travelers.

However, their previous work often failed due to the attacks of mystical beasts, and guests also could not be sure which guesthouse to choose.

Cao Tian Jun also took part in mining, even Team Phoenix as a woman did not miss out on obtaining the Formation Stone. Fang Yin only followed Cao Tian Jun, but he had no desire to possess the Formation Stone.

Only Cao Tian Jun and his team were allowed to mine, due in part to its discoverers. While the teachers and students were limited by Chen Taoran, because they still did not get orders from the government center.

After the spatial pouch belonging to Team Phoenix was filled to the brim, Cao Tian Jun led them out of the cave. He and Team Phoenix could be said to be the richest disciples at the moment, and were most likely the richest disciples in the Eastern Continent for possessing many Formation Stones.

However, before Cao Tian Jun came out...

"That's...!!"

Suddenly, the voice of one of the residents screamed in pain. The scream surprised everyone who was busy. From the corner of the end of the cave all eyes looked at the person who was shouting wrapped around a three-eyed snake; two eyes on the right and left, one slightly larger eye was in the middle.

It was twice the size of an adult, yellow like marble. On the head of the snake was a pair of wings that were behind his eyes, and there were also wings on his body, having four sharp claws. And it was the Flood Snake known as the Yellow Jade Snake, the type of Snake that would become a Dragon.

"That's... That's the Yellow Jade Snake!" The Taoist physician stammered from knowing that type of snake was extremely vicious.

The Taoist physician and everyone saw the snake swallow the screaming inhabitants. After which the Yellow Jade Snake stared at everyone, seemingly still unsatisfied after eating one person.

"Everybody get out of here!!" yelled Chen Taoran.

The residents, disciples and Junior Masters hurriedly came out. As for Chen Taoran, Daoist Yuma and Senior Master faced the Yellow Jade Snake. However, the Yellow Jade Snake swung its tail very quickly to block the exit.

Cao Tian Jun and his team also came out, he actually wanted to help out to defeat the Yellow Jade Snake. As for the place where it was impossible to bring out the Replica Body, he only wished for Senior Masters to be able to overcome the Yellow Jade Snake.

Finally the residents, disciples and Junior Masters had made it out of the cave. Arriving outside, they constantly heard the sound of spiritual energy explosions. The fight of the Senior Masters and the Yellow Jade Snake was extremely fierce.

Cao Tian Jun with Heavenly Eyes could see their fight, where the Yellow Jade Snake was not the least bit overwhelmed against the Senior Masters. However, for some reason the Yellow Jade Snake had intended to escape through another door unknown to him.

That exit was the hiding place of the Yellow Jade Snake. The Senior Teachers chased after him, but came to a halt when the blurred path suddenly collapsed.

Only Cao Tian Jun knew where the Yellow Jade Snake had escaped from, and his escape path led to the Black Dessert. He guessed that the Yellow Jade Snake was the envoy of the Heavenly Snake Queen.

The question Cao Tian Jun and everyone were asking was, how long has the Yellow Jade Snake been in the cave?

After not successfully killing the Yellow Jade Snake, the Senior Masters came out of the cave. On coming out, everyone looked at them with an annoyed and messy face as well.

"For a while, this cave should not be entered first until it is completely safe. Most importantly we already have the Formation Stone. This cave can be mined back after the guards from the Xia Empire come, it will make the security more assured," said Chen Taoran who made arrangements for everyone.

Then, the Taoist Physician and the villagers closed the entrance of the cave with a tree that was uprooted by Cao Tian Jun. To be safer, some large stones are also used as coverings.

Everyone returned to the Flower Village, only a few Senior Masters were guarding the cave, and would change with other teachers...

Right now, Cao Tian Jun was on the deck of the spacecraft while looking at the Array Formation experts making the Protection Formation. Fang Yin felt the change in attitude of Cao Tian Jun who had been silent since coming out of the cave, usually always asking a lot.

Curious as to what Cao Tian Jun was thinking, Fang Yin asked, "why are you so silent? Did something like that shock you a moment ago?"

Cao Tian Jun shook his head. He saw Chu Sying and Team Phoenix approaching after a discussion with Senior Master Zhan Bowen. Then he asked, "have you ever met the ruler of the Black Dessert?"

The question, made the attention of Team Phoenix by looking at it.

"Not many people see it... That said, only the Snake Tribe saw him, especially the five Chieftains who often met him!" Chu Sying said before Fang Yin replied, he heard Cao Tian Jun's question clearly.

What Chu Sying said was indeed true, the Heavenly Snake Queen would not show herself to humans. However, once it shows itself, many humans will die.

Fang Yin also told me about the past, where there used to be a great fight between the Heavenly Snake Queen and a man nicknamed the Sword God, who had once fought a great battle between the Heavenly Serpent Queen and a man dubbed the Sword God, and the fight was won by the Heavenly Snake Queen decisively. Ever since the Sword God lost, his figure was no longer visible in the Eastern Continent.

Some say that the Sword God was so badly injured that it died somewhere else. There are also those who say if the Sword God became the servant of the Heavenly Snake Queen after being defeated.

Their battle was due to capturing an extremely rare Holy Fruit, and the Holy Fruit was born in Black Dessert. Since Black Dessert was the Heavenly Snake Queen's power, it would obviously not allow the Sacred Fruit to be obtained by the other party.

"Yellow Jade Snake... How's story?" cao Tian Jun asked enthusiastically, he was happy to hear the heroic stories, and also wanted to know the relationship of the Yellow Jade Snake with the Black Dessert ruler.

The Phoenix team followed Cao Tian Jun who was sitting on the deck tiles of the ship. Then, Junior Master Chu Sying Chun was now telling a story.

The Yellow Jade Snake was one of the generals of the Heavenly Snake Queen, and also as a spy before attacking the target. It is said that when the Yellow Jade Snake was a child, he was saved by the Heavenly Snake Queen from human hunting. Since then, the Yellow Jade Snake has become a general because it has unique abilities.

"... Therefore, even though the Senior Masters joined forces against the Yellow Jade Snake, they were unable to defeat him due to the difference in strength." Junior Master Chu Sying Chun finished telling the story.

Cao Tian Jun nodded in response. Finally he knew the relationship of the Yellow Jade Snake and the Heavenly Snake Queen. No wonder the Yellow Jade Snake was heading to the Black Dessert.

"One thing I asked in my heart, if the Yellow Jade Snake is able to defeat the teachers, why should it run away?" ask Cao Tian Jun.

Unfortunately, Junior Master Chu Sying Chun and Team Phoenix no one knew. But, Fang Yin seemed to know about it, but was reluctant to speak.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Fang Yin communicated telepathically with her hiding bodyguards, she ordered to investigate this matter.

"Uncle, try to figure out the purpose of the Yellow Jade Snake."

"Okay, Young Miss." Fang Yin's bodyguard replied, he immediately headed to the Black Dessert region.
