Di Yuan looked at Fang Yun and said with pity: "This is not your fault. You have too much responsibility. I have a feeling that your mission is even beyond that of me, the Holy Ancestor. You are too tired and need to have a good rest."
Fang Yun was stunned again, and couldn't help but recall everything that had happened in the recent period. It was just as Di Yuan said, he had been on the road, on the road for himself, on the road for the sainthood, on the road for the literary world, and on the road for the human race.
He almost placed the rise and fall of the entire human race on his shoulders alone!
It is not my greed that makes me do so much, but my inner sense of crisis and mission that makes me do those things.
"well… "
Fang Yun sighed and said, "I don't want to either, but there are some things I have to do."
"This is why many people choose to be heroes. Heroes only do what they want to do. And you and Di Ji are above heroes." Di Yuan's eyes were full of approval.
"But you are right, I should indeed take some rest for a while, not to sleep, nor to stay in the imperial tribe, but to let myself go and play like a real child." Fang Yun said.
Di Yuan glanced at the four-legged black snake and said, "Then let him take you. He is the best at playing."
Fang Yun smiled and nodded.
Time passed slowly, and Fang Yun spent most of his time practicing in the stone house. Occasionally, when he thought of needing some treasures, he would exchange them for his military merits. He let nature take its course and no longer forced anything.
In addition to practicing, Fang Yun often ate, drank and played with the young children of the imperial clan and the saints. He often watered the Taichu saplings and green vines with divine liquid to promote their growth. Even the great saints of the imperial clan half-jokingly complained that those divine liquids were used on a young child, who would now become a great saint.
Ten days passed in a flash. Fang Yun put aside the responsibilities in his heart and entered the most natural state of practice. His mind gained unprecedented tranquility.
However, the sound of the four-legged black snake broke the silence.
"Have I grown up?" The roar of the four-legged black snake echoed in the imperial tribe.
When Fang Yun walked out of the stone house, he saw a four-legged black snake nearly two meters long floating in the air, with a cloud under each of its four claws. It had a slender and graceful body, with dragon scales that were slightly shiny dark gold, horns like tree branches growing on its head, and a pair of extremely bright eyes.
Fang Yun looked at the four-legged black snake with an extremely complicated look.
"Brother, am I awesome?" The four-legged black snake looked at his new body with a smile, extremely satisfied.
Fang Yun said to Di Yuan: "Senior, are there any creatures of this form in the Ten Thousand Worlds?"
Di Yuan shook his head and said, "I know about the slightly stronger or more numerous tribes in the Ten Thousand Worlds, but I have never seen a tribe of this size. Either the tribe of the four-legged black snake is hidden from the world, or he is the leader of the tribe."
The four-legged black snake watched and laughed, then used its new five claws to stroke the hard and smooth dragon scales on its body.
"So comfortable..." The four-legged black snake squinted as it touched.
Fang Yun rolled his eyes at the four-legged black snake and said, "Pay attention to your image! You are no longer an ordinary four-legged black snake!"
"Then what am I?" asked the four-legged black snake.
"You are a big black snake with four legs." Fang Yun said unhappily.
The four-legged black snake grinned and said, "Bigger is better than smaller. Brother, do you think I look mighty? Am I very domineering? When I am canonized as a saint, I will definitely be the most handsome man in the world!"
"Have some shame! Check your own strength first to see if there are any changes." Fang Yun said.
The four-legged black snake immediately closed his eyes and looked inward with his mind. Soon, he suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I feel my strength rising rapidly, and I will be canonized soon! This time it is real, I will be canonized soon! My body is full of power, I feel like I can crush you to death with just one finger..."
Fang Yun's eyes turned cold, and the power of his literary talent, which had been tempered by the chaotic vacuum, combined with his powerful holy thoughts, condensed into the image of the Kunlun heavens, which suddenly descended and hit the four-legged black snake directly.
"ah… "
The four-legged black snake let out a scream and was pressed to the ground by the translucent Kunlun Mountain.
"I don't accept..."
The four-legged black snake tried desperately to scratch the ground and stand up, but he had never learned any powerful fighting skills, and his body alone was unable to resist Fang Yun's holy thoughts and literary power.
"Brother, you are forcing me. You underestimate me too much!"
After the four-legged black snake finished speaking, it glared at Fang Yun and golden flames came out of its body, which was extremely beautiful. It made its entire body become golden and extremely majestic.
So much so that even the flying Hundred-Winged Turtle Dragon couldn't help but turn its head to take a look.
"Um?"
Fang Yun nodded lightly, and the Kunlun Heavens Image gained strength again.
“You… ah… it hurts so much… Big brother, spare me, I won’t do it again! I won’t do it again… Big brother, put it away quickly, or I’ll be crushed to death… Ah… Big brother, I was just kidding…”
Fang Yun seemed not to hear it, and let the Kunlun Heavenly Images press down on the four-legged black snake.
The four-legged black snake struggled hard at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, its eyes rolling around and it tried to convince itself, but it was actually trying to break through Kunlun Mountain. However, no matter what method it used, it was ultimately unable to break through the pressure of Kunlun Mountain.
After struggling for nearly half a quarter of an hour, the four-legged black snake finally gave in and shrank down the mountain without moving, saying, "Forget it, I won't move."
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "I see you're still not convinced. How about we wrestle using the same methods used by the saints of the imperial clan?"
The four-legged black snake's eyes lit up. In wrestling, one is not allowed to use any other strength and can only rely on the body's own strength. Although his eldest brother had undergone powerful body training before, he had just eaten the Primordial World-Destroying Dragon Egg. It stands to reason that he could not lose to the young boy from the imperial clan.
Wrestling is the safest form of competition among the imperial family. It is almost impossible to kill the opponent, and no matter how serious the injury is, it can be cured with ordinary magic medicine.
"Come on! Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The four-legged black snake looked like it deserved a beating again.
"Very good." A divine light flashed in Fang Yun's eyes, and he put away the image of Kunlun Heaven.
The moment it disappeared from Kunlun Mountain, the four-legged black snake suddenly jumped towards Fang Yun like a poisonous snake that had been lurking for a long time, with a look of success on its face.
The green vines in the distance also made a snake-like sound and flew out suddenly, trying to protect Fang Yun, but then retracted.
The four-legged black snake's claws were hidden in its pads and did not stick out.
All creatures with sharp claws will show their claws if they really attack. This four-legged black snake seemed to attack Fang Yun, but it was afraid of hurting its eldest brother, so it asked Qing Teng to stop.
Fang Yun stood there motionless, looking coldly at the four-legged black snake.
The moment the four-legged black snake rushed over, Fang Yun suddenly made a move. He grabbed the right front paw of the four-legged black snake with his left hand and pulled it down hard. He grabbed the chin of the four-legged black snake with his right hand. Then he turned his body, pressed his shoulder against the four-legged black snake, and gave it a saint-level shoulder throw.
A four-legged black snake with a body length of nearly two meters flew into the air, drew a large circle in the air, turned its body over with its back facing downward, and was thrown heavily to the ground by Fang Yun.
The moment its head hit the ground, the four-legged black snake's eyes were filled with confusion, and then half of its body crashed into the ground, splashing mud all over the sky.
Afterwards, the four-legged black snake's body rose and fell and twisted with the terrifying power of the holy body, and tears and snot along with dirt flew everywhere uncontrollably.
"Why is it so dark?" was the last thought that popped into the four-legged black snake's mind before it fell into coma.
