Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the little white snake can't break through to the next level, it just means it will take longer.

When the moonlight accumulated in the little white snake's body becomes so abundant that its entire body can no longer bear it, it will naturally advance to the 'Refining Qi into Spirit' realm.

Although Zhou Xiaobai has never cultivated, he has memories of his past life, which tells him how to make a decision.

Thinking about the "Refining Qi into Spirit" part of the "Moon Gazing Method," he actively focused his mind on the dantian.

In an instant, the moonlight energy from all parts of the snake's body seemed to have found a target and converged towards his dantian.

A phantom image of a coiled snake appeared in the dantian area, and as more and more moonlight energy was injected, the snake's image became clearer.

"This is the sacred embryo!" Zhou Xiaobai had a sudden realization.

The so-called sacred embryo is formed by the refinement of essence and spirit, and from then on, the spirit can be projected outward as divine consciousness.

However, he did not expect that "refining qi into spirit" would be so easy. He thought that advancing to a higher realm would always involve difficulties.

Little did he know that he had merged with the soul of the little white snake after transmigrating, and his own soul strength far exceeded that of ordinary beings. The most crucial aspect of "Refining Qi into Godhood" was soul strength, which made "Refining Qi into Godhood" seem so easy.

Only after the moonlight disappeared did he awaken from absorbing the moonlight and feel the changes within himself.

The world appears more vibrant in one's eyes, and the spirit extends beyond the body—this is divine consciousness.

Its consciousness is quite extraordinary, possessing the vision of eyes, the hearing of ears, and the touch of skin, and these abilities are far more sensitive than the eyes, ears, and skin.

Even the smallest details of dust particles in the air can be perceived by divine sense.

As the cultivation ended, the lingering moonlight in the void slowly disappeared.

The strange phenomena in the sky earlier made him understand why he was placed here; it was an extremely safe place where he would not be disturbed during his growth.

But he didn't intend to stay in the pool; at the very least, he needed to go out and scout out what the situation was like outside.

Thinking of this, the snake slightly bent its body, then sprang up and shot towards the cliff.

When it touches the cliff face, the snake's tail inserts into the rock as easily as inserting tofu, and it can stabilize its body even on a nearly vertical rock face.

Then it sprang up again, flying several meters upwards, and once again used its tail to fix itself to the stone wall.

The snake's body seemed tireless, repeatedly moving upwards.

Finally, he reached the top and saw that the pool was actually a sinkhole.

The snake moved extremely fast. Centered on the sinkhole, it explored the surrounding area, spending some time exploring outwards for about dozens of miles, and discovered a path worn by humans.

Now that the road has been discovered, the discovery of humankind is not far off.

The snake's foot-long body perfectly concealed its existence; unless it intentionally made itself known, it was extremely difficult for others to see its small body.

Unsure of what kind of world this was, Zhou Xiaobai proceeded cautiously and tried his best to conceal his aura.

His senses are extremely sharp; he can detect the presence of other living beings from a distance of thousands of meters. This seems to be a natural ability of the little white snake.

Whether it was luck or the absence of powerful creatures in the area, all the creatures he encountered were extremely weak until he saw a city.

"Chentang Pass!" The characters above the city gate were in traditional Chinese characters, which Zhou Xiaobai recognized.

People entering and leaving the city were all dressed in ancient clothing. Zhou Xiaobai could not identify the dynasty from the clothing, but he was certain that this was not his original world.

He didn't remember any city in history called "Chen Tang Pass," the only one he could recall was the city that Li Jing, Nezha's father, guarded when he was alive.

Just as he was thinking this, an indescribable terror suddenly came from above the city wall.

His small snake body stiffened under the immense terror, and even his thoughts seemed to be frozen.

Strangely, the humans entering and leaving the city gates showed no reaction whatsoever, as if the great terror that suppressed him had no effect on ordinary humans.

With a "thud," the sound of a bowstring being released rang out.

Zhou Xiaobai felt a sharp pain in his soul; if the sound were any stronger, his soul might be shattered.

A beam of white light shot out from the city tower, flew into the distance, and disappeared into the void.

"The Third Young Master possesses divine power!" A voice of praise echoed from the city tower.

Zhou Xiaobai finally calmed down. He looked up at the top of the city gate and saw a child standing on the battlements with several soldiers beside him.

The child holds a bow in his hand, wears a gold ring around his neck, and is wrapped in red silk.

The great terror just now emanated from this bow, but fortunately, the bow has now contained the terror, allowing Zhou Xiaobai's aching soul to recover.

The child seemed to sense Zhou Xiaobai's gaze, and his eyes turned in Zhou Xiaobai's direction.

Zhou Xiaobai was startled and was about to hide.

"What a beautiful little snake!" the child exclaimed with a smile.

With a wave of his hand, the red ribbon on his body transformed into a red thread that shot towards Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai wanted to dodge, but the red thread had a strange binding force that made him unable to move. He watched as the red thread entangled him and pulled him towards the child.

"Return the Qiankun Bow, and don't tell Father!" The child, having taken the little white snake, lost interest in the bow and handed it to a soldier beside him, giving the order.

Upon hearing the Qiankun Bow, combined with the place name Chentang Pass, the fact that the child was called the Third Young Master, and his attire, a bold guess arose in Zhou Xiaobai's mind.

If my guess is correct, what was just shot was probably the "Heaven-Shaking Arrow," which killed Biyun Tongzi, the disciple of Shiji Niangniang of Skull Mountain's White Bone Cave.

Of course, this is on the premise that the child in front of you is Nezha, the Third Prince.

"Your little white snake is quite interesting. You've cultivated for thirty years and are still so pure and flawless, without being tainted by any karma!" the child said curiously as he played with the little white snake.

Zhou Xiaobai knew why he hadn't been tainted by karma. The pool where he was born had no other living beings, and he had always practiced the "Moon Gazing Technique" instead of eating.

"You're mine from now on!" the toddler declared without asking any questions. After a moment's thought, he added, "I'll call you Little White. I'm your master, Nezha!"

It really was Nezha. Zhou Xiaobai was extremely horrified. Although he still couldn't know the full picture of this world, the existence of Nezha in the world was definitely extremely dangerous.

Nezha took a liking to the little white snake because of his innocent heart. Faced with a beautiful little white snake demon who had never killed anyone, he naturally regarded it as a toy that posed no threat whatsoever.

Although Zhou Xiaobai cultivated for thirty years while Nezha only cultivated for seven years, Nezha's strength far surpassed Zhou Xiaobai's.

Even if Zhou Xiaobai possessed only a thin layer of true dragon bloodline, his talent would still be no match for Nezha's, let alone that he was a true dragon.
