Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

Chapter 136: The History of the Celestial Serpent Sect.

Sun Yurong, Bai Suzhen, and Yang Wei were seated around a small wooden table.

Bai Suzhen, with her petite frame, crossed her legs in lotus position on the chair. Leaning forward, she asked, "So, do you really know about the Celestial Serpent Sect?"

Sun Yurong nodded. "Indeed. After all, we're all members of the Celestial Serpent Sect."

Bai Suzhen rubbed her chin skeptically. "Well, that doesn't really make sense. There's been no word about the Celestial Serpent Sect in recent times. So, the two of you," she pointed at Sun Yurong and then at Yang Wei, "would have to be at least 10,000 years old to have been members."

A tired yawn left Yang Wei's wide-open mouth.

Well, she's right. I'm 900 years old and Suzhen still has a lot of years on me. It's hard to believe this small, bratty woman is far older than me...

Sun Yurong smiled softly. "There's a clear explanation if you'll just let me talk."

Yang Wei settled back in his chair. He already knew this would some sort of long explanation. "Alright, go on," he said.

Sun Yurong explained, "The reason I said we're all members of the same sect is because the Dragon Blossom Sect and the White Serpent Sect were once a united sect."

Bai Suzhen jerked forward in her chair, deeply shocked by the news. In a way, everything started to make sense even though she didn't have all the details. She was relieved to finally get some valid answers. But, despite that, it was still difficult for her to believe it all, so she asked, "Is all you say really true?"

"Yes," Sun Yurong nodded and glanced at Yang Wei, who remained silent.

There was no sign of shock on his face.

In fact, he seemed so internally shocked that his outward expression was frozen.

Yes, that's where I've heard the name from... Míng Hu?rán called that name when she gave me the sect's foundational inheritance... The Celestial Serpent-Dragon Ascendancy Codex, that's it!

"Do you have anything else that could be helpful in knowing what happened to the Celestial Serpent Sect that caused them to divide?" Bai Suzhen asked eagerly.

Sun Yurong placed a finger on her chin, humming thoughtfully as she glanced to the side.

"Well, I know a few things..."

She started sharing what little she knew about this ancient sect.

"According to my visions, there was a war 10,000 years ago within the Celestial Serpent Sect. One faction was led by Matriarch Fangblade who aimed to ascend the Mashyan World to a higher Dao Layer.

And the other faction was led by Matriarch Dragon Star, she believed the sect wasn't ready for such advancement, especially since they still needed to ensure women held absolute power, following a previous war that wiped out most male cultivators in the Mashyan World 5,000 years prior."

"However, Matriarch Fangblade claimed to have connections in the Heavenly Court. Apparently, someone promised her this world would get passage to a higher Dao Layer without upsetting the power balance. This clash of ideologies tore the sect apart. Matriarchs Fangblade and Venomheart fought against Matriarchs Dragon Star and Dragon Sun.

And despite both sides having access to the 5th level of Dragon Vein Cultivation—Dragon Spirit Confluence—the four celestial dragons of the sect favored Matriarch Dragon Sun."

"It gave Matriarch Dragon Star's faction the upper hand, leading to their victory in the war. They crippled the cultivation bases of the opposing matriarchs and banished them. This is why the matriarchs of the White Serpent Sect are only at the Nascent Soul Realm after so many millennia."

With all the explanations laid out, all Yang Wei could say was, "Wow, that Míng Hu?rán is older than a bag of bones. I can't imagine being alive for over 15,000 years; it just sounds stressful."

Or living for 15,000 years with Mingyu... yeeesh

Sun Yurong sighed exasperatedly, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Is that really all you picked up from what I said?"

Yang Wei shook his head slowly and folded his arms. "No, of course not. But from what I've heard from Míng Hu?rán, there are only two celestial dragons. It can't be four, unless maybe the White Serpent Sect has the other two."

Sun Yurong furrowed her brow. "Wait, who's Míng Hu?rán?"

"That's the woman you know as Matriarch Dragon Sun."

"Oh," Sun Yurong nodded in understanding. "Well, my visions may or may not be wrong about the celestial dragons. However, I don't recall this sect's matriarchs mentioning anything about them having celestial dragons in their possession."

Waving his hand disinterestedly, Yang Wei dismissed the topic. "Well, it doesn't matter now." He kept his eyes on Bai Suzhen shortly after.

Realizing Yang Wei's focus, Sun Yurong turned back to Bai Suzhen, who remained seated, sad and silent. Bai Suzhen hadn't uttered a word since Sun Yurong finished her explanation of what she believed was the history of the Celestial Serpent Sect, or at least their downfall.

Bai Suzhen glared at Sun Yurong. "You... are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Sun Yurong raised an eyebrow. "No, of course not. I have no reason to lie about something so important." The friendly tone in her voice diluted with each word uttered.

Bai Suzhen stood up slowly, insisting, "That's a lie. I don't believe these nonsensical words you've been spouting here..."

Sun Yurong poured herself some wine, maintaining her composure. "Sorry to disappoint you, but that's the truth. Accept it." Her words lacked warmth or sympathy; after being spoken to so ungratefully by Bai Suzhen, she felt no need to offer her any respect.

Bai Suzhen shouted, "You don't even know how I got sealed; you're just lying!" Her fangs sharpened, while her eyes turned a predatorial snake-like blue as she hissed aggressively.

HISSSS~~!!

At that point, she ready to attack.

Like instant teleportation, Yang Wei appeared behind Bai Suzhen and painfully knocked her on the head before calmly stating, "That's enough, you idiot..."

His knock sent a shock through Bai Suzhen's body, causing her face to turn as red as a tomato as if she was about to cry. Clutching her head in pain, she fell back in her chair, exclaiming, "That hurt!"

Glaring at Yang Wei, she accused him, "Yang Wei, you bastard! How dare you hit the illustrious, well-respected, and greatly praised deity of the Celestial Serpent Sect?!"

Yang Wei snapped back, "Shut up!" He pointed at Sun Yurong. "This woman just shared all the information she knows to help you regain your memories, and you have the nerve to call her a liar? I know you're a brat, but this is too much." Stay updated through m-v l|-NovelBin.net

Bai Suzhen, still nursing her sore head, mumbled an apology to Sun Yurong, "I... I'm sorry..." Her pride made it difficult for her to say it outright, she even avoided eye contact by glancing to the side.

Sun Yurong smiled warmly. "It's fine. I didn't take offense," she reassured the young lady.

Giving Yang Wei a side-eye, Bai Suzhen mocked, "Well, someone obviously did..."

Yang Wei raised his fist threateningly. "Do you want another one?"

Bai Suzhen squeaked in fear and shook her head vigorously. "No, sir!" she exclaimed, sounding like a scared little mouse.
