Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

The red snake traveled slowly down the river. Along the way, it encountered some drowning creatures and blew a breath of air to send them back to land.

The people along the way discovered that the enormous shadow at the bottom of the river had brought back their relatives and poultry that had been swallowed by the merciless river, and they knelt down and cried out that the Dragon King had appeared.

There is a legend of a real dragon on Yongning Island. After two years of silence, it has now become a hot topic again.

After swimming across the Majian River, it meanders into the Luo River.

The giant snake did not sense the surging of the Luo River during the spring floods of the past.

Come to think of it.

It takes time for humans to dismantle the dam, and it also takes time for the water to rush over, so it slowly swims forward with the current.

Springtime often brings light rain.

The rain pattered against the water's surface, creating countless tiny ripples.

A strange feeling rose in the giant serpent's heart. It pushed the water surface from the bottom of the river, and its two long horns, like antennas, received the information contained in the rain falling from the sky.

"If I go downstream, I'll become a dragon? Do you want me to do it again?" The giant snake understood the meaning of the spring rain and remained still in the water.

In the past, if it did not flow downwards, it would be struck by lightning.

But now.

one day.

Two days.

The rain continued to fall, the drizzle turning into a continuous drizzle, enveloping the Luo River like a mist.

The people who lived by fetching water on the riverbank could not see through the misty rain, and naturally could not see the large snake with two horns on its head that had been standing still in the river for three days.

Hualong Road has long been occupied by the East China Sea Dragon Clan.

They laid numerous traps along this path of rise.

If one forces their way forward, although they can still break through the three shackles of their talent, they will eventually be bound by a new chain from the dragon element.

From this moment on, all the fortune, abilities, and even memories of any demon that transforms into a dragon will be closely linked to the East Sea.

If there is even the slightest betrayal or disobedience, they can use this chain to cut off its ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing it to die from the depletion of spiritual energy.

In this world, dying from spiritual exhaustion is a far more cruel punishment than being boiled alive or slowly sliced ​​to death.

"Where's the lightning? Why isn't it striking me?" the giant snake asked, looking up at the sky.

After waiting for a long time, the sky was still covered by gray rain clouds, with no sign of thunder gathering.

The waters of the Lancao River arrived as expected, the surface surging, the undercurrents colliding and forming whirlpools.

The vortex collided with the giant snake and immediately dissipated, leaving it with only a whisper-like urging.

"Something's strange." The giant snake flicked its tongue, bringing rainwater into its mouth, but it couldn't detect any trace of deliberate manipulation.

This light rain, though seemingly natural, is not a product of any particular circumstance.

If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it.

Now that the water in the Lancao River has flowed back, it's time to go back to Zhongshan and set up a water intake point.

The giant snake sank to the bottom of the water and flowed downstream with the surging current.

The spring rain followed closely like mist.

As we reached the middle of the Luo River, the sky seemed to have gathered enough momentum, and spring thunder roared, the soft whispers of spring being replaced in an instant by torrential rain.

The sky and the earth were both covered in a white expanse, and all the scenery was shrouded, making it impossible to distinguish front from back, left from right.

Before even returning to Zhongshan, the giant snake once again felt that the heavens and earth were united in its power.

Its body sways slightly, or even doesn't need to move, and the water will naturally gather around it, helping it move forward.

This feeling of being supported and having everyone respond to your call is intoxicating to the snake.

The further you go, the more water power gathers, and the faster the speed becomes.

The giant snake awoke with a start, a sense of foreboding rising within it.

As the saying goes, small boats fear wind and waves, while large ships fear turning around.

The water that has now gathered around its body is showing signs of becoming uncontrollable, like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain.

At this moment, the giant snake was no longer going downstream on its own initiative, but was being forced forward by the force of the water!

Before entering Zhongshan, there is a rapid bend with a bend of more than ninety degrees!

If the water flow is not slowed down soon, I'm afraid I'll be swept away by the torrent and end up stuck on that sharp bend.

"Spring and summer have long since submitted, and now in autumn and winter, I have loosened and controlled the water flow of the two cities, and I guide the Luo River forward... This is what is truly called 'transforming into a dragon through water'."

"The essence of spiritual cultivation is to go against the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death and ascend upwards. In order to maintain order, the laws of Heaven will naturally send down calamities and punishments to silently annihilate living beings."

"Only by surviving can we continue along the path, and keep going."

"It's a pity, I have no affinity for dragon transformation. It's fine if it exists, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't."

The giant snake's eyes narrowed, and it abruptly stopped, blocking the water's surface like a dam.

The Luo River, which followed and carried it forward, crashed into the enormous snake-like body with a thunderous roar.

The immense power of heaven and earth clashed so fiercely that even the steel body of the Crimson Serpent, forged through countless trials, clearly felt the pain.

The water surged violently against its waist, tearing the massive snake that had blocked the river into a U-shape.

His body was almost torn into three pieces.

The giant snake bit him, causing excruciating pain. The primordial energy vortex within his body spun wildly, continuously supplying power to his entire being.

The long horns on its head, resembling sharp swords, now gathered the spirit of the giant serpent and began to release wave after wave of invisible fluctuations.

The ripples couldn't directly stop the water's flow, but they seemed to merge into the heavens and earth.

The raging Luo River was calmed by the invisible ripples, and its once unstoppable momentum gradually subsided.

The heavy rain then subsided.

The sun shone its light, lifting the curtain of rain that shrouded the Luo River.

Under a clear blue sky, a giant serpent stands in the water, its body covered in blood-red scales, its long horns, gathered in threes, angrily pointing towards the heavens.

"Wow... I almost got swept away by the current and crashed headfirst into the foot of Zhongshan Mountain." The giant snake flicked its tongue and panted heavily.

After this ordeal, its body remained unchanged, but it was able to communicate with some magnificent being through the horn on its head.

"From now on, the Luo River will lead to Zhongshan Mountain, which will be the path for the creatures of Yongning Continent to transform into dragons. Those who are unrestrained and greedy will be made to crash their heads into the foot of Zhongshan Mountain and die."

The words, along with the invisible ripples emanating from the long horns, merged into the heavens and earth.

In response to the giant serpent, waves of spiritual energy surged from all directions. Instead of intercepting the flow, it allowed it to merge into the bottom of the Luo River.

As the heart pounded, a stone tablet rose on the bank of the Luo River.

Huai Nian could only tell that it was a stone tablet, but he couldn't see what words were carved on it.

In the blink of an eye, the stone tablet transformed into a village by the water, and then suddenly into a forest inhabited by countless snakes.

"Is this another test of the dragon-transformed demons' resolve?"

"If there were even a shred of compassion in their hearts, they would have deliberately restrained the water's force upon reaching this place, and thus wouldn't have crashed to their death at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain..."

"Not bad."

The giant serpent nodded, about to sink into the Luo River, when it suddenly sensed a trace of the essence of heaven and earth in its horns.

In the far east, the dragons are enraged.

Yongningzhou... The scorching sun has an arrogant and domineering presence.
