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

The water's surface was like an uncarved piece of jade. As a snake's head suddenly emerged, the calm surface was instantly shattered, rippling outwards.

This is a pure white snake, no more than a foot long, with a protrusion on each side of its head, and its entire body looks like it was carved from white jade.

"Hiss hiss!" The white snake opened its mouth and made a sound.

Its eyes were filled with disbelief; it was extremely strange to see such a human-like expression on a snake.

In fact, not long ago, it was an office worker living in a modern city named Zhou Xiaobai. It was involved in a car accident on the road, and everything went black. When it regained consciousness, it was underwater.

"How did I turn into a snake!" Zhou Xiaobai felt utterly hopeless. He truly realized how unbearable it was for a person's soul to be bound in a snake's body.

It has no hands or feet, cannot speak, and needs to twist its body to move.

It took him quite a while just to twist his body and swim in the water, barely managing to float from the bottom to the surface.

Fortunately, everything the snake's eyes saw was still relatively normal, even clearer than what a human eye could see, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

He was in a pool of water, surrounded by steep cliffs with no end in sight.

"How will I survive?" It has to be said that humans are extremely adaptable. After overcoming the initial panic, Zhou Xiaobai was already considering how to survive in the form of a snake.

He didn't see any fish or shrimp while he was underwater; it was as if the white snake was the only creature in the entire pool.

Surrounded by sheer cliffs, how can one survive without food when trapped here?

Just as he was thinking, the purple mark in his mind flashed, and a large amount of information flooded out of his brain.

This information includes not only the White Snake's original memories, but also an introduction to the purple mark in her brain.

The purple mark came with his soul, and its origin is unknown. What is known so far is that there is a small space within the purple mark, a space that transcends the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements.

"There are monsters in this world!" Zhou Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise when he received the White Snake's memories.

Of course, he still made a hissing sound, but that did not diminish his inner horror.

The White Snake's memories are very simple. Apart from her daily life in the pool, she has a "Moon Gazing Technique" that allows her to absorb and exhale moonlight, a supernatural ability to "control her size," and the fact that she possesses the bloodline of a true dragon.

The White Snake possesses a very thin true dragon bloodline, and the "Moon Gazing Technique" and "Freedom of Size" are both inherited from this thin true dragon bloodline.

Being able to cultivate the "Moon Gazing Technique" to absorb moonlight and possessing the bloodline of a true dragon—these things could never have appeared in Zhou Xiaobai's original world. Therefore, there is only one possibility: this is no longer his original world, but a new world where monsters exist.

Unfortunately, the White Snake had been in the pool since she had memories of the past and knew nothing about what happened outside the pool.

Zhou Xiaobai obtained all of the White Snake's memories, which not only allowed him to control the snake's body more freely, but also gave him a rudimentary understanding of how to use his spirit.

He focused his mind and saw the purple mark.

The purple mark is extremely complex. It appears to be drawn with a single stroke, but upon closer inspection, this stroke is composed of countless smaller marks.

Before he could observe further, his snake body disappeared from the water and then appeared in an elliptical space.

The space is not large, measuring two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) at its longest point and one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) at its narrowest.

"I have two hands now!" Zhou Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

This time he found that he was actually making a human voice, instead of the snake-like sound he had heard before.

Raise your hands and examine them closely; only after losing something do you truly appreciate it.

At the same time, it felt as if a layer of shackles had been removed from my body, making my mind and body feel more open and clear.

His upper body was now human, while his lower body remained that of a snake, making him look more like a monster.

He touched his face, and it had transformed into a human face.

Although it hasn't completely transformed into a human, its current state is far better than when it was a complete snake.

After a moment of excitement, he came to his senses. As he thought about his current state, a panel appeared on the spatial wall.

This panel presents Zhou Xiaobai's current physical data in the way he understands it.

"

Name: Zhou Xiaobai

Bloodline: True Dragon Bloodline (1%)

Qualification: Rare

Cultivation Level: Refining Essence into Qi (Perfect)

Technique: Moon Gazing Technique

Supernatural power: Freedom to control size

'

"The true dragon bloodline is so scarce. I'm afraid this little bit of true dragon bloodline will never be able to transform into a true dragon!" Zhou Xiaobai thought helplessly, looking at the one percent true dragon bloodline he possessed.

As descendants of the Yellow Emperor, we have a special affection for dragons.

Besides, no matter how you look at it, this true dragon is a powerful being, so he couldn't help but make it the goal he sought to achieve.

He had only just received the memory of the perfect level of refining essence into qi on the panel, and he hadn't yet figured out the knowledge of cultivation. He still needed to understand it in conjunction with the cultivation process.

His gaze then fell upon the space wall where the panel had been. The panel disappeared, and the semi-transparent space wall allowed him to see the pool of water outside.

Reaching out and pressing my hand against the wall of the space, I felt as if I were touching a smooth layer of glass.

He wondered if his hand could pass through the spatial barrier and touch the pool outside. Then he felt a cool sensation on his hand, and his hand had already passed through the spatial barrier and touched the pool water.

Even as he withdrew his hand, he brought a small handful of water into the space.

At that moment, a ray of moonlight fell from above. Without any thought, he opened his mouth and began to practice the "Moon Gazing Technique" towards the moon, which had almost become an instinct for this body.

However, Zhou Xiaobai soon discovered that the "Moon Gazing Technique" had not absorbed any moonlight, and he then realized that he was in the Imprint Space.

His mind was focused on leaving the imprint space, and he left the imprint space and reappeared in the pool.

That feeling of being shackled returned, and he transformed back into a snake, no longer in his human-headed, snake-bodied state.

Without time to think about these things, he opened his mouth and began to perform the "Moon Gazing Technique" towards the moon above.

The moonlight falling into the pool seemed to be attracted by something, turning into streams of light that flew into his mouth.

Moonlight entering the body is transformed into cool energy by the "Moon Gazing Method" and circulates within the body. A very small amount of the energy transformed from moonlight remains in various parts of the body, making the snake's body more resilient.

The snake's body already contained a large amount of lunar energy, but Zhou Xiaobai felt that the lunar energy had a very poor effect on enhancing the snake's body.

In my memory, the white snake's cultivation of the "Moon Gazing Technique" began to weaken three years ago, when the "Moon Gazing Technique" was very effective.

He thought of the words "Refining Essence into Qi (Perfect)" on the panel. According to the "Moon Gazing Method" in his memory, the realm after "Refining Essence into Qi" is "Refining Qi into Spirit".

The original white snake had no one to guide it and only knew how to bury itself in cultivation without ever thinking of breaking through to a higher realm.
