Zhongshan Shenzhu Chi

Chapter 84 Transformation

The giant snake raised its tail and caught the little fox that was about to be blown away by the strong wind, then put it on its body.

"Why are you thinking of transforming into human form?" the giant snake asked, puzzled.

It truly had no idea that the mountain lord had come to find it in such a hurry in order to transform into human form.

In this world, once demons and humans reach the fourth realm of cultivation, their levels are roughly the same.

The fifth realm of demons is called Yang Shen, which is almost identical to the Nascent Soul realm of humans, differing from it only in name.

The differences are also the unique characteristics of each living being.

To advance to the level of Yang Shen or Nascent Soul, one must prove to the four directions of heaven and earth, and even to the ethereal Dao, that one has the strength to bear the Great Dao.

Those with extraordinary talent can forge a path never before trodden among countless others.

I wonder if there's a former on the path of time sequence —

If so, then success or failure must be determined by life and death.

"Zhao Ying told me that there might be a major war in Yongning Continent in the future, which would be the best opportunity to cultivate the Military Fiend."

Shan Jun paused, as if considering his thoughts.

"I thought about it, and the martial arts she's teaching me are all based on the human body. I'm a demon, so although I can understand it, I always feel a bit sluggish when I try to use it."

"So I have to become a human, to experience it firsthand, to truly feel it. Only in this way can I continue down this path in the future."

"Didn't you look at that ancient book?" the giant snake asked in a deep voice.

It strongly opposes ferocious creatures like the Mountain King, Black Bear, and even the Golden Ape King transforming into humans.

This kind of demon is different from demons like foxes, weasels, and squirrels. They have an innate arrogance that looks down on other living beings.

Transforming into human form to seek revenge and kill is one thing, but if it's used for cultivation—

A mastery of human relationships is the essence of literature. Through layers of scheming, even the mother fell into the trap, let alone a demon like Shan Jun who had never left Zhongshan.

"I went to see it, and what they gave me was exactly the same as what Zhao Ying gave me." Shan Jun shook his head.

"Hmm—" the giant snake pondered.

My mother has personally read that ancient book; there shouldn't be any problems with it.

Even if it possesses some spirituality, it should be something inherited from the human race, a protective reaction based on human instincts.

The giant snake raised its head and turned towards the arched ceiling of the mountain and water cave.

Ancient books flew in as summoned, hanging before the snake's eyes.

It instinctively flipped through the pages, revealing the mountain lord's reading marks to the giant snake, page by page.

Now, the Great Serpent's "Three Qi Transformation" has reached the state of Hunyuan. As long as the spirit and body can withstand it, there is nothing that cannot be contained and nothing that cannot be tolerated.

It immediately circulated the cultivation methods of those warriors and demons within itself.

The result was as Shan Jun predicted.

The logic is sound, but the path is not smooth.

When practicing the Soldier's Curse, there is always an invisible barrier between the body and mind, much like the feeling of playing games with hundreds of pings of network latency in a past life.

"Are you really going to transform into human form?" the giant snake asked.

"Yes, I did nothing but think for three days. If I don't take human form, there's no environment in Zhongshan where I can cultivate my martial arts skills," the Mountain Lord replied loudly.

"...

—

The giant snake turned its head and looked at the ancient book.

Under the divine light, the pages of this ancient book turned rapidly.

As the pages of the book turned, the giant snake vaguely saw the words "new moon and full moon".

If their appearance weren't as bright and clear as the moon, the giant snake might not have been able to tell them apart.

Just as I was about to delve deeper into it.

An ancient book emerged, its silver-white seal script completely different from anything seen before.

The profound meaning contained within can only be understood by beings who have ascended to the four realms.

It is a method of transformation for demons that is deconstructed from the methods of human transformation.

Another human voice echoed in the snake's mind.

The gist of it is that this secret technique allows demons to choose whether or not to retain their animalistic characteristics when transforming into humans. Furthermore, as long as they are strong enough, they can switch forms at any time.

Immediately following, the scientists who had successfully conducted the experiment laughed wildly and shouted their praises.

Now even non-humans can enjoy this?

"!" The giant snake used its tail to scatter the seal script.

"Candle, is there a problem?" The mountain king and the little fox sat together, tilting their heads slightly, and asked in unison.

"The secret technique is fine; go and prepare for the transformation."

The snake's tail fell back into the water, heavily striking the mud.

The new moon and full moon are not a proper tradition.

No wonder he's ended up in Zhongshan, teaching magic to a bunch of demonic beasts.

"Oh, right, the golden ape said it wants to come down the mountain with me," the mountain lord said.

"Alright, the two of you can look out for each other if you go together. Go ahead." The giant snake lay down, still reeling from those bursts of maniacal laughter.

"Hmm." The mountain king turned around and left, riding the whirlwind.

"Candle, can I also transform?" After the mountain lord left, the little fox jumped in front of the giant snake.

"Did you see the secret technique contained in that inscription just now?" the giant serpent asked.

"Hmm, and there's this annoying person who keeps talking in my head."

"Whether human or not, they can enjoy anything."

The little fox looked up and answered truthfully.

The giant snake remained silent for a moment.

Wanting to do something but helpless, he could only forbid the little fox from touching the ancient books.

"Don't go near that book again."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, the little fox didn't linger.

He immediately jumped onto the top of the giant snake's head and got stuck between its two long horns.

Unlike usual, this time she first grabbed the big horn, and after making sure she had a firm grip, she wrapped herself up with her tail, shrinking into a pink and white cotton candy.

Sister Lingyi might be even faster than her.

Jiulian didn't want to be blown away by the wind anymore.

The moment she fell asleep, a transformative aura began to flow from the little fox's body, like water or mist, enveloping her entirely.

The giant snake leaned against the shore, its eyes also closed.

Just now, following the thread of cause and effect, the ghostly blue flame lit by the little fox was reproduced, which almost drained its spirit.

It also needs rest.

Time flies.

The Luo River flowed day and night, washing away the red snake for two whole months.

It awoke, plucked four scales from its body, and swallowed them along with its reverse scale. The primordial power transformed into raging fire and lightning, beginning to melt and refine them.

It's already December.

Zhongshan Mountain has changed its appearance, covered in frost and snow, to welcome the arrival of winter.

A warm hand pressed down on the snake.

The crimson scales, like a mirror, reflected a slender human figure.

He had short, bluish-green hair, a straight nose, and pale lips. The curve of his face down to his jawline was clean and sharp.

With refined features, a calm and serene gaze, and slightly upturned eyes, he exudes an indomitable spirit.

At this moment, she stood on the riverbank, like snow pressing down on a mountaintop, calm and serene.

The giant snake opened its eyes and moved its eyeballs.

"It worked?"

"Success! A truly unique experience!"

The mountain king looked down at his hand, which was resting on the giant snake.

"I can feel your warmth now."

She was dressed in clothes that were similar in color to her original fur.

The men's clothing consisted of long boots, trousers, and a fitted robe for ease of movement, without any other decorations; the clothes were clean and neat.

If you don't look at the chest, it's almost impossible to tell the gender at a glance.

"You have no weapon—" the giant serpent said, opening its mouth to reveal a three-foot-long crimson sword and a crimson breastplate coiled around its tongue.

"And these two too."

Two more scales were vomited out by the giant snake.

"Send them to the Golden Apes. It doesn't matter how you use them; these scales will adapt to your bodies on their own."

"The golden ape's fist could probably be wrapped around it. Your human body—could be completely covered."

"Understood." Shan Jun took the red sword.

The hilt of the knife wiggled slightly in her palm, as if it were alive, and quickly conformed to the shape of her hand.

She pressed the breastplate against her chest.

A warm sensation spreads from bottom to top, as if you were soaking in a hot spring.

"We will be back safely."
