The concept of a born saint begins with Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

"In other words, there is a village at the foot of this mountain?"

"Judging from their 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 bird language.

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...the millet and sorghum in the fields...have yielded a harvest."

"With warmer weather... I'm afraid they'll mature earlier..."

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, like a legendary god who understood all languages. Language could not hinder him at all; he could understand things divinely.

"What era is this?"

Su Chen's eyes showed a look of doubt.

Since their conversation didn't go into much detail, he didn't know 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-like body.

Su Chen seemed to understand something.

A notification sound was heard.

[You possess extraordinary comprehension, having comprehended the cultivation technique 'Gathering the Sun and Embracing the Moon' from the essence of the sun and moon.]

Suddenly.

In the pitch-black night.

Strands of cool moonlight, as if drawn by some force, gradually gathered towards 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 the breath passed, the thirst and weakness caused by hunger gradually recovered.

During this process, because the commotion was quite significant, he also reduced the convergence of the moon's radiance to prevent the area from becoming too unusual and to avoid attracting the attention of wild beasts in the night.

As time passed, his hunger completely disappeared.

Moreover, with the help of this wisp of lunar essence, his small body gradually grew.

Although the process is still somewhat slow, its growth rate has already far surpassed 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 his senses.

【Innate Talent & Physique: Blue Python (Emerging Might)】

Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 324

[Energy: 728]

Looking at the energy he had accumulated to 728 points, 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 swept over him once again.

Soon, he felt the tension in his body again.

Su Chen, familiar with the process, allowed the change to spread within his body, his entire python body slowly stretching out, beginning a new round of transformation.

The original python body transformed into a more robust and heavy boa constrictor body.

His flesh and bones were constantly compressed and solidified imperceptibly, 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 help 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 took a whole day to cover the length of time a normal python would take to grow.

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

[Lifespan increased, Comprehension +43]

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 32033 (Born with divine talent, extremely rare throughout history)]

[Innate Talent & Constitution: Blue Boar (Outstanding)]

Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 31649

[Energy: 409]

The increase in lifespan was not unexpected; although the python lived a little longer than the boa constrictor, 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 that it is considered outstanding even among pythons?"

He didn't react much to this assessment.

However, when the energy required for the next stage of physical 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. How could a boa constrictor need so much energy to transform again?

Is the difference that big?

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Su Chen's eyes lit up with realization, and he understood what was going on.

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

But once a boa constrictor molts, things are different!

"Jiao?"

Su Chen murmured.

If it's a dragon, then that makes sense. 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 body grow to a normal size, and also investigate what the situation was like in ancient times..."

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 have passed.

Over the past few days, Su Chen has made a preliminary investigation and figured out what exactly happened in this ancient world.

Is he 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.

Chapter 103 Discovered by the Villagers?

The late Western Zhou Dynasty?

Su Chen's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia.

He never expected that this time travel would take him to a familiar ancient era.

"Doesn't this mean I might meet King You of Zhou, who played the feudal lords with beacon fires to amuse Bao Si?"

"It's also possible that we'll see hegemons from the Spring and Autumn Period such as Duke Heng of Qi, King Goujian of Yue, and King Fuchai of Wu?"

"And Li Si, Zhao Gao, Qin Shi Huang, and others from the Qin Dynasty?"

Su Chen's eyes showed surprise.

At the same time, through his observations and speculations over the past few days, he also discovered some things.

There is little spiritual energy here; although some mystical phenomena exist, they are few and far between.

The upper limit of combat power is somewhat similar to that of an anime called Qin's Moon...

Although there are people who possess martial power, their potential is limited.

He shook his head, not thinking about it anymore, and lay down on a blue stone halfway up the mountain to sunbathe, focusing his attention on himself.

After nine days of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to temper his body, his body length has reached about three meters, which is quite frightening.

Su Chen's gaze fell on the control panel.

【Name: Su Chen (0 years old)】

Lifespan: 76

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 32033 (Born a Saint, Extremely Rare)]...

[Innate Talent & Constitution: Blue Boar (Outstanding)]

Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 31649

[Energy: 7536]

"Lifespan is only seventy-odd years..."

Su Chen wasn't too surprised.

However, more than seventy years is still longer than the lifespan of most people in this era.

He shook his head. "It's still a bit short. I wonder how much my lifespan will increase after I transform into a dragon?"

After a moment of curiosity, his gaze fell upon the energy.

After these days of accumulation, the energy has reached 7536 points, which is not far from the 31649 points required to transform into a dragon!

With anticipation, Su Chen continuously drew in sunlight to nourish his innate physique, promote physical growth, and maintain his mobility.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty-one days have passed.

On the familiar bluestone.

A huge blue python lay lazily on the surface, its blue scales gleaming brightly in the sunlight, looking extremely terrifying from a distance.

His body was already over two zhang long, and his thickness was comparable to that of an adult man's thigh.

Even an ordinary person would be startled to see a small snake, let alone such a huge creature!

Just as Su Chen was basking in the sun.

In the misty mountains and forests, ancient trees reach for the sky, and vines hang down.

The damp mountain breeze rustled through the forest.

A young man in his early twenties, dressed in coarse linen clothes, was walking on the mountainside.

The young man was named A Niu. He carried a bamboo basket on his shoulder, held a wooden bow in his hand, and had several feathered arrows hanging at his waist.

He walked slowly forward, cautiously observing his surroundings, trying to see if there were any traces of wild animals.

He has been in the mountains for some time now, and if he doesn't manage to catch a suitable prey, he'll probably have to return empty-handed again today.

A light mist hung over the mountains and forests, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the occasional bird call echoing in the distance.
