Lin Mu watched the two motes of light cautiously. He knew they were the representation of the two baby snakes and he didn't want anything to happen to them because of his mistake in the process.
He stood still and let the motes of light approach him slowly.
They first came to a stop just a few inches away from him, as if observing him. Five minutes passed like this before they suddenly shot out a small ray of light. The ray of light moved fast and entered Lin Mu's illusory body.
~shua~
An imprint appeared on his chest at that moment. The imprint was that of two snakes entwined and represented the twin snakes.
"It worked!" Lin Mu was pleased.
The two motes of light faded away after that, and Lin Mu's illusory body also became unstable.
'Guess this is the longest the two snakes can maintain a mental link for.' Lin Mu thought.
The requirement to making that empty space was to unite the minds of the tamer and the beast. Even if one successfully managed to enter the space, there was no guarantee they would be able to stay long enough for the beast to do the same.
Thankfully with the experience Lin Mu had, it wasn't that hard.
~huu~
Lin Mu let out a breath and opened his eyes in the real world. The twin baby snakes were still sleeping in his hands, but now he could feel a deeper connection to them. It was almost as if he could listen to their thoughts, but they were too faint to perceive.
"Hmm… they are still too young to be able to communicate, I guess." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
He could also feel the position of the twin snakes just like he did with little Shrubby. And once they grew a bit, he would be able to converse with them as well.
Done with all this, Lin Mu finally came upon an important task.
"I need to name them… Hmm…" Lin Mu held his chin and thought for quite a bit, going through multiple options before finally deciding.
"Alright! They shall be named… Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang." Lin Mu decided.
There were several reasons as to why he had picked the names. He had picked 'Xiao' as their surname, as it was the same as Little Shrubby. Lin Mu thought they could then be like a small family that way.
As for their first names, Lin Mu named the black snake Xiao Yin considering how it had consumed the black dusty smoke of the Chasm Beasts. Then there was also the fact that the black snake was a female, so the first name 'Yin' fit her perfectly.
The white snake on the other hand, was male and was given the first name 'Yang'. It had consumed the white colored pure yang spirit Qi and was clearly had the affinity to the Yang attribute.
Additionally, the way they stayed up curled together, Lin Mu found them to look similar to the Taiji symbol. Which only affirmed his choice of picking their names.
Feeling content with the names, Lin Mu decided to do a little research.
'I should see if there is any information at all about snakes such as these. Even if there is none in the books and records I have from the Xiaofan world, maybe there is something in memoirs of the Lost Immortal.' Lin Mu thought and got to work.
But first he took out a small pillow and put the baby snakes on them, letting them continue their sleep. He knew that they would be sleeping for quite a while, as that is what most snakes did after a big meal.
Sometimes, this sleep would even last for weeks on end.
And now that he had established the True Blood Imprint, he wasn't worried about losing them as he'll be able to track their location at all times.
Taking out the long wooden slip that composed the legacy of the Lost Immortal, Lin Mu started to read.
While he was searching for more information about the twin snakes, he didn't know that there was someone else doing the same; far, far away.
In a distant world, a blue sun cast its dim light all over the planet that revolved around it. There were eleven planets revolving around it, having different sizes. Some were fiery hot and some were frozen solid, but there were also some that had life on it.
Among the eleven planets, four of them were like this, having plenty of life. But one of these four was the most eye catching of them all. One side of it was filled with buildings upon buildings and the other side was filled with dense forests and mountains.
Then there was another thing that made this planet unique. There was actually a green moon revolving around it. It cast a gentle green light and imbued the world with its serenity.
And if one looked closer at the moon, they would see a pattern on it. The pattern was that of a large serpent with a draconic head biting its tail. The pattern circled the entire moon and was mysteriously visible from any angle.
If this pattern was seen by anyone knowledgeable in the myriad worlds, they would know what it meant.
This was the Serpent Moon World! And the power that owned it was the Serpent Moon Sect!
Within the headquarters of this sect, hundreds upon hundreds of people could be seen frantically running around. Some of these were human, while some were of other races. Some had the features of beasts while having a humanoid body, while some were entirely different.
But each and everyone of them wore clothing the same symbol as the moon.
"Matriarch! Matriarch!" A group of cultivators rushed into the main hall of the grand palace while shouting.
In the center of the hall, a woman was sitting. Her hair was white, but her skin had no wrinkles at all.
"What is the meaning of this? Why are you shouting?" The matriarch said without opening her eyes.
