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

It was enveloped in a dazzling golden light, exuding an indescribable mystique.

The group was stunned.

After returning to the village, they spread the word.

The villagers gathered together and discussed the matter.

"Blue... Could it be the giant snake Ah Niu was talking about?"

"Golden light? It doesn't look like an ordinary mountain beast?"

The fishy smell and the straw made me even more alarmed.

Finally, they decided to go to the village's most respected shaman.

The shaman was very old, with a face full of wrinkles and hair that was already white. He was responsible for presiding over the village's sacrifices and divination.

After listening to their account, his expression gradually became serious.

After pondering for a long time, he said solemnly, "That thing is probably not an ordinary serpent; it could be the mountain god of Wushan!"

Upon hearing this, villagers such as A Niu and Shi widened their eyes in surprise.

"what?"

"The Mountain God?!"

Their faces were filled with shock.

At the same time, I felt both awe and fear.

If they really are mountain gods, then their previous plan to go into the mountains to hunt them was a great act of disrespect.

Shi asked solemnly, "Witch, is it really the mountain god? Are you sure?"

The shaman shook his head, and his aged voice replied, "I need to perform a divination."

Ultimately, in the midst of the scathing revelations...

evening.

A bonfire was lit in an open space in the village.

The shaman, dressed in sacrificial robes and holding a wooden staff, began the sacrificial ceremony under the guidance of the monks.

He first bowed to heaven and earth and mountains and rivers, then took out a divination tool, a smooth tortoise shell.

He placed the tortoise shell on the fire to roast it, while muttering ancient and obscure sacrificial incantations under his breath.

Finally, the shaman asked solemnly, "Can the snake of Misty Mountain be a mountain god?"

The flames flickered.

The tortoise shell gradually crackled in the flames, and cracks slowly appeared.

The shaman stared intently at the shapes of the cracks.

All the villagers held their breath.

Unfortunately, putting aside whether this divination is useful or not, even if it were, Su Chen, as a former immortal, is naturally not capable of this so-called witch divination.

However, it must be said that this witch's voice made a soft, cracking sound.

The cracks meandered and twisted, extending from the center all the way upwards.

Staring at the crack, Wu's expression suddenly changed.

This is...

A trillion!

This means...

The shaman took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly, "The serpent of Misty Mountain is not a beast, but a mountain god!"

The words fell.

An uproar immediately erupted around them.

Upon hearing this, Shi, Aniu, and other villagers were all shocked.

"Mountain God?"

"The serpent on Mount Wu is actually a mountain god?"

It was hard to believe, even for the fishermen.

Ah Niu's eyes widened even more, and he muttered to himself, "I knew it! How could there be such a huge snake on Mount Wu? It turns out it's the mountain god..."

"No wonder……"

At this moment, everything seemed to make sense.

If it were truly an ordinary wild beast, how could its entire body radiate golden light?

Immediately, discussions arose.

"No wonder Mount Wu is always shrouded in mist..."

"It's very likely that the mountain god is performing a ritual!"

"We were even thinking of going up the mountain to kill the viper, which was incredibly disrespectful..."

At this point, the strong men who had gone up the mountain earlier showed fear on their faces and hurriedly bowed their heads in the direction of Wushan.

Amidst the discussions, an atmosphere of reverence gradually filled the open space in the village.

The shaman looked solemnly at the cracks on the tortoise shell and said, "Now that the mountain god has manifested his power, we should offer sacrifices and worship to show our respect!"

He raised his head and looked at the villagers around him.

"Prepare offerings for the sacrifice; we will offer sacrifices to the mountain god in a few days!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreement, their expressions a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

Mount Wushan actually has a mountain god...

That's the mountain god! A simple blessing from him would be enough for them!

Just when they were expectant and excited.

On Mount Wu.

Su Chen was unaware of the villagers' wild imaginations.

At this moment, his gaze involuntarily turned to the control panel.

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

Energy required for the next stage of physical transformation: 31649

[Energy: 32228]

"Finally, I've gathered enough energy for the transformation..."

A look of anticipation appeared in Su Chen's eyes.

Chapter 105 King You of Zhou and the Transformation into a Dragon! (Two-in-One)

The sky gradually darkened.

Su Chen huddled on the mountaintop, his eyes piercing.

Seeing the energy he had gathered, he did not hesitate and immediately began his transformation.

In an instant, the energy was reduced.

[Energy: 579]

A familiar warm current flowed through his body, and compared to before, this warm current was incredibly large, with a delicate and strange tingling sensation washing over him once again.

He began to shed his skin.

However, this transformation was different from the previous ones; Su Chen felt that the structure of his body was changing.

The time it takes to shed skin is incredibly long...

The bright moon gradually faded, and the sky slowly began to lighten with the pale light of dawn.

A moment later, a blazing sun slowly rose, its golden rays falling upon the depths of the misty mountains.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the coiled, motionless blue body, Su Chen finally stirred.

The snake's body, which had been tense, swelled slightly, and a thin crack suddenly appeared between its scales.

Click~

Like cracked tree bark, a thick layer of old bark slowly peeled off, starting from the top of the head, spreading all the way to the neck, and then to the back, the old bark opening up inch by inch.

The giant blue body slowly wriggled, squeezing out little by little from the dried snake skin.

The old leather, like a tattered garment, lay limp on the ground.

The figure that crawled out of it was completely different from before; its body was still slender, but it was no longer a simple snake.

The thick trunk was even more robust than before, with layers upon layers of scales as dense as iron plates, which shimmered with a bluish luster when sunlight fell upon them.

The original snake head has now been completely changed.

The head was broader and thicker than before, with a fierce outline, resembling a tiger or an ox, and faintly bearing the appearance of a dragon.

Its head resembles a dragon's head, with a wide mouth and sharp teeth, the fangs interlocking like knives.

A pair of vertical pupils opened, eyes like bronze bells, gleaming eerily; a high nose bridge, and faint white breaths escaped with each breath.

However, his forehead remained smooth and without horns, neither antlers like those of a deer nor flowing mane.

At the same time, beneath the thick scales on its belly, two short claws slowly stretched out.

With three hook-like toes, curved and sharp, they gently gripped the ground, carving several sharp marks into the rock.

Su Chen looked down at his own body.

The giant snake that once coiled around the mountains and forests now faintly exudes the imposing presence of a dragon.

A snake's body, a dragon's head, and two pairs of short claws growing from its belly...

"Is this a dragon?"

Su Chen's eyes showed surprise.

Besides the changes in his body, the most noticeable thing he felt was that he could clearly sense the changes in the moisture in the environment.

And...

"I think I've become a bit fond of water?"

Su Chen actually felt a restless urge to sink into the water and swim around.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of power to control water and create huge waves.

According to legend, the Jiao (蛟) is indeed capable of causing floods and stirring up storms, and is known as a ferocious beast...

At this moment, a notification sound rang out.

[Lifespan increased, Comprehension +428]

Su Chen's mind raced, and he looked at the control panel.

【Name: Su Chen (0 years old)】

Lifespan: 504

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 32461 (Born a Saint, Extremely Rare)]...

"Only an increase of 428 years in lifespan?"

Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

It was lower than he had imagined; he thought it would add at least a thousand years to his lifespan.

However, after a moment, he realized that this was probably related to his lack of cultivation and was likely the normal lifespan of a dragon.

After all, even a snake with cultivation can live for a thousand years, let alone a dragon.

Of course, if one has no cultivation, that's a different story; it would be quite good if a snake could live for more than ten years.
