After Being Abducted and Raised by A Snake

Xuan Ming vaguely felt that the part of his lost memory was important, but he just couldn’t remember it.

The deities in the thirty-sixth layer of the sky remained silent and had no idea about his tribulation.

Emperor of Heaven also said that it was just a part of the heavenly tribulation, so he should just forget it. Being too persistent was not only detrimental to spiritual practice but could also easily lead to resentment. If there was destiny somewhere, then everything was already arranged for the best.

Moreover, the most important thing for a cultivator of immortality was to have a pure heart and few desires.

Now that he had ascended to immortality and was honored as the emperor of the demon realm on the list of deities, the most important thing was to repair his damaged soul as soon as possible and return to the demon realm to take up his post.

Xuan Ming listened carefully to the teachings of Heavenly Emperor, closed himself in the Taixu Realm, and practiced with concentration every day. When the chaotic mind gradually became clear, he finally remembered: where was the mirror that was inseparable from him?

It was a magic weapon given to him by Emperor of Heaven, and it was made from treasures in the Taixu Realm.

The mirror would never leave his side for no reason, and it had never been away from him for so long.

Where had it gone?

.

On the day when he returned to the Demon Realm to take up his post, Xuan Ming returned to Snake Castle for the first time in a long time.

More than a hundred years ago, the black city located deep in the swamp stretched for thousands of miles, and it was exactly the same as when he left it in his memory.

It was a pity that the mirror was not around…

Xuan Ming raised his hand and waved away the palace servants behind him, asking them to go back to Yaoshan Temple to prepare for his appointment ceremony.

After a moment of silence and only he was left, he relaxed and spat out the snake tongue, transformed into a swaggering big black snake, and patrolled his territory in the back garden of Snake Castle.

He asked strangely as he looked at the tip of his tail that always wanted to curl up unconsciously and bend into a hook shape.

[Tail, tail, why are you posing like this? There is no one to carry.]

After asking, he felt something was wrong.

He was a majestic snake demon—no! How could he, the majestic emperor of the demon realm, use his beautiful and noble snake tail to carry someone?

And when he saw branches covered with wild fruits, why did he always want to pick them with his tail? He didn’t eat these things.

Xuan Ming always felt that he was weird after losing his memory. He didn’t see his dear brother when he returned to Snake Castle. When asked, the old slave guarding the gate wiped a pair of cloudy snake eyes with his tail and told him in a tearful voice: “Your Majesty, you don’t know it. Bai Tianxian has been lazy and not practicing properly since you went to the desert island to survive the tribulation. According to your instructions, I told him earnestly every day to be diligent, to work hard, to–”

Xuan Ming spat out the snake tongue, he was not very patient and interrupted the old slave, “Let’s get to the point.”

The old slave said, “In order to avoid disaster, Bai Tianxian pushed a precious mortal into the sea, and stole his identity. In the end, his tribulation was avoided, but the family was also badly harmed by him… Later, the person who was pushed into the sea by him had some strange encounter and Bai Tianxian actually reported the matter to the Emperor of Heaven, and the Heavenly Emperor punished him!”

Xuan Ming frowned and asked hurriedly, “How?”

The old slave choked, “According to the law of heaven, Bai Tianxian has been abolished, his demon bones have been removed, and he has become a dead egg. He is now trapped in the Demon Locking Tower, and will never be able to come out again. Oh! Your Majesty! Please find a way to intercede for him and save him!”

Oh!

Xuan Ming’s snake heart was shattered into pieces. Although he had a premonition that his lawless brother, whom he had pampered to the point of being lawless, would get into trouble sooner or later, he never expected that he would violate the rules of heaven in order to avoid tribulation.

And in such a despicable way.

Xuan Ming filled with regret in his heart, but the matter had come to this. Even with his supreme power, he could not turn back time, let alone open the Demon Locking Tower without authorization and let his brother out for personal reasons.

If someone did something wrong, they should accept the punishment. This was a truth that everyone knew.

At that time, Bai Tianxian knew what he was doing, and maybe he was thinking even if the sky fell, Xuan Ming, his elder brother, would be able to withstand it.

But the law of heaven was clear, and retribution was inevitable.

From the moment Bai Tianxian decided to steal the blessing of others to avoid tribulation, the outcome was already doomed.

The Demon Locking Tower had a radius of thousands of miles and was full of resentment all year round. If any demon came close to it, it would cause it to fall ill and stay in bed for several months. Except for the four ancient beasts guarding there, no one dared to take one step in.

Xuan Ming, wearing a black crown robe with bare feet, stood on the 48th floor of the Demon Locking Tower with his hands behind his back and made a gesture with his fingertips.

The four divine beasts who were lying on the ground and sleeping quickly opened their eyes and looked at the emperor, who had appeared there at an unknown time, with great vigilance. They nervously begged on the ground: “Your Majesty, opening the Demon Locking Tower without authorization will violate the rules of heaven and cause harm to the six realms. Please think twice.”

Xuan Ming narrowed his eyes and saw a white snake egg being kicked around by demons in the tower. The little white snake curled up in the eggshell was crying in fear, and kept calling for his brother in fear and helplessness.

The Demon Locking Tower, which was constantly swaying, suddenly shook and then stopped moving again.
