In the vast expanse of space, five massive continent like bodies could be seen floating. Each in the shape of a massive Heavenly beasts.
The best seemed to be breathing, and each time, their actions resulted in strange Cosmic energy being devoured into their bodies.
One of this floating continents was a massive white tiger, whose body seemed infinite, wih a majestic aura.
The second a Black Tortoise, that resembled an immovable mountain. It gave off an ancient aura, like a sacred mountain that couldn't be moved in the slightest.
The third a massive Azure dragon, it unleashed a dragon might that scared all that might even think about approaching.
The fourth was a Vermillion Bird, it gave off a scorching temperature capable of melting anything into nothingness.
The only issue was the last Continent, it was just obsecure, and difficult to tell what existed on it. It gave off a feeling as though it had been cleaved into peaces.
It was the so called Mysterious Desolate Heaven world.
The five words located in almost the same vicinity Actually had infinite distance between them, and at the same time affected each other.
*******
Desolate Heaven world, Outer Reaches, Old Devil Domain, Snake Valley.
A handsome young man with white hair, laced with red Golden at the edges, opened his eyes, and one could see a hint of blue in them.
He was completely covered in rags, as the clothes he had resembled some beggar, not matching the carriage he was in.
The carriage was just too fancy and bells hanging at the door kept ringing in his head, making him dizzy, that he couldn't even hear the sounds of birds chirping outside the carriage.
The woman sitting outside the carriage would turn back and look from time to time, in wonder.
The bells hanging at the door of the carriage were not normal, and even martial artists, couldn't be able to resist the sound. It was enough to knock them out, but the young man in the carriage kept regaining his consciousness.
Since his head was facing the entrance of the carriage, he didn't need to move his head to see the woman opening the curtain at the entrance. She was acting as the coachman.
He was slightly intoxicated in her charm, before he heard the voice, that resembled heavenly music in his ears.
"Close your eyes and rest!"
It was weird, but he wanted to obey the owner of that voice in whatever she asked.
So without much resistance, a strong drowsiness swept him.
He even felt that he deserved it, after all he had worked so hard for his boss, but failed to get the promotion he was promised. Rather he was mentally and physically exhausted. He felt that this woman was very considerate, much better than anyone else he had ever met.
"What a pleasant dream!" He thought to himself.
He even failed to realize his body couldn't move at all, as for the abnormalities on the woman, he ignored them.
He even had this feeling inside him that this was what he deserved, for all the hardwork he had done all his adult life.
Just half an hour later, the carriage shook, and he opened his eyes again, the sound of bells ringing in his ears had intensified, but he was vigilant.
He didn't know if it was excessive stimulation, but he knew that he didn't have such fetishes, as such something was not right. It became abundantly clear of this, when he tried to move his head but nothing happened.
It was also at this moment that he smelled a strange fragrance in the air.
"Something is wrong! I can feel this is far more realistic! The ringing of these bells also is affecting me! Making me dizzy, how can this happen in a dream! Calm down, this is clearly a dream. How could a bell affect my mind otherwise, and even more importantly, where there is a carriage in modern society." He could grasp something especially with the bumps the carriage was passing through, the rythm of the bells was disturbed.
But he also thought of something that made him conflicted in his judgment.
Organ trafficking! Right! In modern society this was a very serious issue and thus he had to consider this part too.
That was especially when he felt the strange fragrance intensifying and making him more and more drowsy.
This young man was Tian Chen a name he was not proud of. His parents wanted a daughter but since he was born anyway, they didn't olan on changing it are all.
Seeing the man pass out again, the woman suddenly spit out her snake-like tongue which produced some slithering sound.
"This is the second time I have used my poisonous fragrance on this handsome brother. It seems that this one doesn't just have good looks, but still has some will. Damn! Even I am reluctant to give him away, but I must get resources for my transformation." She looked very reluctant as she observed Tian Chen's side profile continually witn some regret.
The look in her eyes even showed some pain, as if she was struggling.
Since she started to fuse with the bloodline of a snake, she had started to become more and more lecherous, and the number of men that had died by her hands after being used especially martial artists had risen considerably.
But even so, she didn't plan to do anything to the young man at all, if the goods were damaged she might suffer a loss.
Her buyer was someone from the same snake Valley of the Old Evil Sect.
The stronger they became, the more they turned into snakes.
The technique she cultivated would slowly turn her human body into a snake-like creature, with the increase in quality of snake bloodline she had infused in her body.
As for the actual reason behind the cultivation of such methods was the poor spiritual roots she had. It made it impossible for her to go further, and thus lifespan limitations due to inability to breakthrough further.
In the beginning, it was just simple issues such as their skin changing, but as time passes, eyes, teeth and the whole body may start to mutate turning into a beast.
In a way, this method has many drawbacks, such as mind erosion.
She was obviously among this category and the old man she just mentioned was someone from her Snake Valley.
The humans she brings to this place clearly have no good ending.
If Tian Chen heard what she was saying, he woud probably explode into curses.
She was sitting outside the carriage acting as the coach driver of the carriage as it was moving up a mountain road.
The destination was the massive mountain in the distance, the further the carriage traveled the desolate it became.
Time passed and she eventually arrived at her destination.
Instead of entering the cave, she shouted from her position, "Junior Qin Wan Er! Has met martial grand uncle!"
The voice was loud and it echoed inside the cave, where an old man was sitting before an old furnace. Under the furnace, a green flame could be seen, but it resembled human faces screaming in pain.
"What is it?" An impatient and angry voice sounded. Qin Wan Er was already sure that if she lacked a good reason for disturbing that old man, she might not have a good ending.
"Junior has captured a good ingredient!" She didn't continue as she had done this routine a few times. She knew what to say and not to as such she just repeated her routine.
"Come in!" The voice came again, and she entered the carriage before dragging out the passed-out Tian Chen. As he was dragged, he barely opened his eyes and could see darkness all around him.
Qin Wan Er entered the cave, and the deeper she went the darker it got, and on her back, she was carrying Tian Chen who had just regained slight clarity. Even though he was dazed, and his mind in a state of weakness, he could see green flames appearing before them.
Qin Wan Er walked steadily as though she was carrying nothing but an empty bag. It seemed that Tian Chen's weight didn't even affect her in the slightest. After she walked along the path illuminated by green flames, that appeared to be in the shapes of wailing souls, she wasn't affected in the slightest.
She was used to seeing such a scene. As her footsteps advanced, she finally reached the end of the stairway and an old man was inside a room. The room had a massive cauldron in the center and green flames burning. As it turned out, a few bodies could be seen at the side of the old man, but he suddenly turned his head over.
He was looking at Qin Wan Er, and his eyes seemed to have the same vertical pupils, but the green color in his eyes where very deep. Half the old man's face was covered with snake-like scales, with a long snake tongue spitting from his mouth from time to time. His situation was far more serious than Qin Wan Er.
He asked in a cold feminine voice. "Where are the goods?"
The goods in question were Tian Chen, and he was also shocked at this development, and the woman carrying him placed his body down at the entrance of the room, before taking a step back.
Soon it became clear why, as the sound of something coiling could be heard before the body of the old man started to move. Upon closer inspection, his entire lower body was that of a massive snake. His waist upwards seemed to be connected to the head of a massive snake-like creature.
At this point, even Tian Chen who thought he was in a dream was scared, and his headaches seemed to cause slight ringing sounds in his head, but that was it.
Despite his fear, he couldn't even move. Looking at the little fellow on the floor before him, the old man with a snake body smiled slightly. "Not bad! Not bad! This kid has some slight bloodline on him. As long as I can refine him into human medicine, it will not just be helpful to my situation, I might make slight progress. Tell me! What do you want?"
Tian Chen could clearly understand what they were saying, and his eyes showed horror, at this point, he was sure something was not right. He couldn't even move, and his fear was represented by his shrinking eyes and trembling eyelids.
"No! What is going on? I want to wake up!" He indeed was already starting to sense something was not right, but that didn't change his circumstances.
