Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 102 The Western Zhou Dynasty?!

While silently collecting energy, Su Chen pondered a solution.

"I can only rely on cultivation to sustain my body's needs —"

"Since inspiration is scarce, let's try to find a solution from the sun overhead!"

Soon, Su Chen was immersed in enlightenment, entering a state of harmony with nature.

With his innate divine-level comprehension, creating a cultivation method was not too difficult for him!

However, before he could create the cultivation method, a slight noise from afar caught his attention and interrupted his comprehension.

Sunlight streamed down.

Su Chen lay prone in the green grass, in a state of perfect harmony with nature, almost indistinguishable from an inanimate object, and gazed into the distance.

He saw three villagers dressed in coarse gray linen clothes walking down the mountain.

Judging from the firewood they were carrying on their backs and the wild animals such as rabbits hanging on their bodies, these three people were probably villagers who had gone into the mountains to hunt.

"So, there's a good chance there's a village at the foot of this mountain?"

"Judging from these people's clothing, this must be ancient times—"

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

As he observed the three villagers, they were talking amongst themselves, uttering some incoherent gibberish.

An ordinary person would naturally not understand, but as someone with innate divine comprehension, he only listened for a short while and immediately understood some of it.

"This year's rainfall has resulted in a good harvest of millet and sorghum in the fields."

"With warmer weather—I'm afraid they'll mature early—"

The three of them were chatting about millet, the harvest, and everyday family matters.

As they talked more and more, Su Chen understood more and more, just like a legendary god who understood all languages. Language could not hinder him at all; he could understand things divinely.

"What kind of era is this?"

Su Chen's eyes showed a look of doubt.

Since their conversation didn't cover much, he didn't know much either.

We'll have to investigate further to find out exactly what era it is.

Watching the three villagers descend the mountain, Su Chen closed his eyes again and began creating a cultivation method.

The sun gradually sets on the horizon, and the moon gradually rises.

The bright moonlight shone down on his python body.

Su Chen seemed to understand something.

A notification sounded.

"Your comprehension is extraordinary; you have grasped the essence of the sun and moon in the cultivation technique of 'absorbing the sun and moon'."

Suddenly.

In the pitch-black night.

Strands of cool moonlight, as if drawn by some force, gradually converged toward him.

Part of it was naturally absorbed by his innate physique, while the other part was absorbed by him. Su Chen only felt a cool and moist energy slowly flowing through his body.

Wherever his breath passed, the thirst and weakness caused by hunger gradually subsided.

During this process, because the commotion was quite large, he also reduced the gathering of the moon's radiance to prevent the place from becoming too unusual and to avoid attracting the attention of wild beasts at night.

As time passed, his hunger completely disappeared.

Furthermore, with the help of these wisps of lunar essence, his small body gradually grew bigger.

Although the process is still somewhat slow, its growth rate has already far exceeded that of ordinary pythons.

In the blink of an eye, the sun gradually rose on the horizon.

The dazzling sunlight shone down.

It wasn't until a whole day had passed since yesterday that Su Chen finally seemed to regain consciousness.

[Innate Talent & Constitution: Azure Python (Emerging Talent)]

[Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 324]

Energy: 728

Looking at the energy points that had accumulated to 728, Su Chen was in a good mood.

Without hesitation, he immediately had an idea.

In an instant, the energy on the panel suddenly decreased.

Energy: 404

A familiar warmth flowed through his body, and a delicate, strange tingling sensation washed over him once again.

Soon, he felt his body tense up again.

Su Chen was familiar with the process and let the change spread within his body. His entire python body slowly stretched out, beginning a new round of transformation.

The original python body transformed into a thicker and heavier boa constrictor body.

His flesh and bones were constantly compressed and solidified invisibly, his tendons and bones became more resilient, and his density gradually increased.

The old scales cracked slightly, revealing new scales underneath, their color becoming increasingly deep and bright, gleaming with a dazzling emerald green luster under the sunlight.

Su Chen came to his senses and looked at his body.

With this transformation, and with the assistance of the essence of the sun and moon, his body has grown to three feet, which is close to one meter.

Although it is still young and its body is not very big, it has covered the distance that a normal python would take a year to grow in a single day.

Su Chen's heart stirred, and he looked at the panel.

[Lifespan increased, Comprehension +43]

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 32033 (Born Divine, Extremely Rare Throughout History)]

[Innate endowment/Constitution: Blue python (outstanding)]

[Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 31649]

Energy: 409

The increase in lifespan was not unexpected; although boa constrictors live a little longer than pythons, it wasn't by much.

The fact that it has been able to grow for more than forty years is probably due to the transformation of its physical condition.

"The evaluation changed from 'showing promise' to 'outstanding,' meaning it's considered outstanding even among pythons?"

He didn't react much to this assessment.

However, when the energy required for the next stage of transformation came into view, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

It only takes 324 units of energy for a python to transform into a boa constrictor. And this boa constrictor needs so much energy to transform again?

Is the difference that big?

Suddenly, something occurred to Su Chen, and he realized what was going on.

From the original green snake to the current blue python, in the end, they are still just ordinary creatures, only at the top of the ordinary snake species.

But if a boa constrictor undergoes a metamorphosis afterward, then things are different!

"A dragon?"

Su Chen murmured.

If it's a dragon, then that's normal. No wonder, transformation requires so much energy!

As he thought about it, Su Chen's eyes revealed curiosity and anticipation.

At the current rate of energy collection, 30,000 units of energy may seem like a lot, but it won't actually take long!

"While we have this time, let the python's current body grow to a normal size, and also investigate what this ancient world is all about —"

Su Chen pondered.

Then, he closed his eyes and continued to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, transforming his body.

Time passed slowly under these circumstances.

In the blink of an eye, nine days had passed.

As the past few days have passed, Su Chen has also made a preliminary investigation into what exactly happened in this ancient world.

He is now living in the late Western Zhou Dynasty?

The late Western Zhou Dynasty, before the pre-Qin, Spring and Autumn, and Warring States periods?

Su Chen was filled with surprise.
