A clear and melodious dragon chant suddenly resounded within the gates of Zhou Family Mountain, startling countless people and beasts in an instant.
In the Beast Garden, many demon beasts that had been leisurely and carefree collapsed to the ground in terror, their bodies trembling and shrinking in response to the dragon chant, feeling an innate awe and fear from the depths of their souls.
It was the kind of fear that prey felt for a predator, rooted deep within their bloodlines.
These low-level demon beasts were nothing but food in the diet of the higher-level demon beasts!
Many Zhou Family cultivators turned their surprised gazes toward the area where the Foundation Establishment cultivators practiced their spells upon hearing the dragon chant.
"Could this dragon chant be from the Clan Leader's Sky Azure Cloud Python?"
"It might also be the Vice Clan Leader's Silver Lightning Python, didn't it also advance to the second rank?"
"That's not right. If it's a dragon chant, how could it be produced by a couple of demon snakes?"
The Zhou Family cultivators discussed it animatedly, feeling incredibly amazed.
Some cultivators without tasks at hand even prepared to go and check out the situation.
The elders of the Zhou Family who were disturbed also showed a flash of surprise in their eyes and flew out from their dwellings to the spell practice area to see this curiosity.
They were all privy to what this dragon chant was all about.
But because of this, they were even more curious about how strong the Silver Lightning Python, stimulated by the "Ancestral Resurrection" secret technique, could become.
Even Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder at the top of Pagoda Peak, secretly extended his divine sense to observe the situation at the spell practice area.
Zhou Chun was oblivious to the fact that his family trial of the "Ancestral Resurrection" secret technique would cause such a stir.
He was also stunned by the transformation of his Silver Lightning Python Baibai at this moment.
Baibai, whose Flood Dragon bloodline had been stimulated by him, now had a silver dragon horn twined with silver lightning atop its head, and silver-white dragon claws sprouted from its underbelly. The silver lightning flickering across its body was powerful enough to easily kill a twelfth layer Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.
Its cultivation level remained that of a second-grade lower-tier demon beast, but its aura and actual strength were far beyond what they had been before.
Zhou Chun didn't dare spar with it as he had before, fearing he might be injured by his own spirit pet if he wasn't careful.
However, without a sparring partner and only asking the now Thunder Python Baibai to strike the ground with spells, it was obviously impossible to fully gauge its true strength.
So he immediately thought of simply mounting Baibai and flying to Flying Rock Peak to ask Elder Zhou Daoquan for a test bout.
After all, opportunities to use the "Ancestral Resurrection" secret technique were rare, and he didn't want to waste this one.
Fortunately, just as he ascended into the sky, he saw Elder Zhou Daoquan and several other Zhou Family elders hurrying his way.
This delighted him, and he quickly called out to Elder Zhou Daoquan, who was arriving the fastest, "Elder, your timing is perfect. I was just worrying about not finding a sparring partner. You must help me!"
"Good, I was also intending to do so," Elder Zhou Daoquan replied, his gaze sharp as he looked at the Thunder Python in the sky.
He performed hand seals and spells, first casting a body protection spell on himself and then summoning a Town Ruler Magical Artifact and a bronze bell magical artifact to orbit around him.
Then he nodded slightly to Zhou Chun and said, "I'm ready. Let it attack!"
Upon hearing Elder Zhou Daoquan's words, Baibai immediately raised its claw, gathering lightning within it, and instantly turned it into a thunderball that it hurled at Elder Zhou Daoquan.
Seeing it as just a casual strike from Baibai, Elder Zhou Daoquan didn't pay too much attention and directly met it with his body protection spell.
The outcome, however, utterly startled him.
Amidst the explosion, his yellow protective barrier violently shook as though it had been struck by a fellow cultivator of the same rank.
"Impressive! With just one strike, it's stronger than a typical attack from a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!" He steadied the shaking of his yellow barrier with mana and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Then he said to Zhou Chun, "Let it unleash some truly formidable moves. Go ahead and show its strength, I can handle it!"
"Alright, then Elder, please be careful," Zhou Chun nodded his head in acknowledgment and immediately instructed Baibai not to hold back.
Upon receiving this command, Baibai truly spared no effort.
A roar erupted from its mouth, and instantly three arm-thick silver thunders descended from the sky above Elder Zhou Daoquan's head.
This "Thunder Strike Triple Attack" immediately caused Elder Zhou Daoquan's complexion to shift dramatically. He urgently activated the town ruler magical artifact against the thunder, simultaneously triggering the power of the bronze bell, releasing circles of yellow light waves toward the lightning.
The magical artifact scattered the first thunder strike, but the second strike blasted it away.
And while the yellow light waves managed to disperse the second thunder, there wasn't enough time to weaken the third.
Hence, Elder Zhou Daoquan took a direct hit from a thunder strike.
The Thunder exploded, and Elder Zhou Daoquan's external yellow barrier was instantly riddled with cracks and threatened to shatter.
Alarmed, he pumped mana to stabilize it and used his profound mana to prevent the barrier from breaking completely.
"Impressive! Truly impressive! This move is not much weaker than the killing moves of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
Once again, Elder Zhou Daoquan voiced his amazement, astounded by the strength Baibai had displayed.
Then he added, "Use whatever moves it has, don't hold back!"
