This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

As Li Daoxuan dictated the meaning of a true dragon, a tremendous aura of fortune suddenly arose between heaven and earth.

His voice wasn't loud, but it traveled the world.

However, those words were not clearly heard by the people of the world; they only felt the thunder and lightning of the heavens shaking and surging.

Only the myriad creatures of the world, such as the giant python lurking in the abyss, the old fish in the great rivers, and the giant crocodiles in the miasma swamps, etc.

They all seemed to have received a blessing and understood Li Daoxuan's words.

At that moment, a tremendous sense of joy and reverence suddenly arose in the hearts of all the scaled creatures in the world.

Deep within their souls, the words "Taoist Ancestor" and "True Dragon" naturally arose.

From then on, all creatures with scales and armor had an ultimate goal: to transform into a dragon.

Only by transforming into a dragon can one transcend the mortal realm, become a sacred being of heaven and earth, and roam freely throughout the world, reaching the highest and most supreme state.

As Li Daoxuan finished speaking, the previously confused black snake immediately regained its senses, and a clear and specific image of a true dragon immediately appeared in its mind.

The big black snake was overjoyed; it had never imagined it could transform into such a form.

The enormous snake head shook violently, its body arched high, its jaws opened wide, and a roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

This roar was clearly different from the sound of a snake flicking its tongue; it carried a powerful sense of pressure and sounded incredibly deep and majestic.

The thunderclouds trembled, drawn by this roar.

The fifth bolt of lightning finally rolled down.

The terrifying power of lightning struck the void, blasting the air into a torrent of lightning that poured down.

The lightning struck the great black snake squarely on the forehead.

In an instant, blood splattered, and the enormous body trembled violently.

The skin on his forehead was torn open, and all the scales were gone.

The power of thunder coursed through his body, and glaring cracks appeared on the black serpent's body, with blood gushing out continuously.

The power of the Heavenly Healer Talisman once again manifested, restoring its body at an extremely rapid pace.

At the same time, a new power gradually emerged within the giant black snake.

This power is different from the water vapor power it previously possessed; it contains a touch of sacredness and has become remarkably similar to the magical power of cultivators like Li Daoxuan.

Gradually, Li Daoxuan witnessed a miraculous scene.

The lightning that struck the black serpent did not completely disappear; instead, it was swallowed by the serpent and slowly evolved into its own power.

Its entire body of black scales was flashing with dazzling lightning, making the whole snake seem to have transformed into a lightning serpent.

With another roar, the black snake leaped up, revealing the two bulges on its abdomen.

Then the bulge began to swell rapidly, tearing through the flesh in an instant, revealing two thick, powerful legs with three sharp claws.

"Three claws..."

Li Daoxuan sensed something and realized that the black snake had embarked on the path to becoming a dragon.

However, since this is its first transformation, it is still a long way from becoming a true dragon.

With two legs and three claws, it doesn't even qualify as a dragon.

After two dragon claws grew out, the big black snake began to tear its own molted skin with its sharp claws. After tearing off the old skin, it was still not satisfied and roared at the sky again.

Heaven and earth seemed to sense this, and another bolt of purple lightning descended.

This time, the giant black snake did not stand still to receive the blow; instead, it soared into the sky and took the initiative to meet the heavenly lightning.

Just as the thunder was about to strike, the giant black snake opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the lightning whole.

Terrifying lightning bolts shot out from its body, almost piercing through it.

The giant black snake fell from the sky, lay prostrate on the mountaintop, and roared in agony.

The lightning danced around it, repeatedly tempering its newly formed body.

On his forehead, two bumps began to grow rapidly from the wound blasted open by the lightning.

A dozen or so breaths later, it actually grew into two incredibly sharp horns, which, combined with the long hair on its cheeks, truly gave it the appearance of a real dragon.

Li Daoxuan leaped down from the mountain peak, stood on the flat ground, looked at the domineering black snake, and smiled knowingly.

She murmured softly:

"Excellent! In the entire history of this Xuanhuang world, the first true dragon hatchling has been born..."

As Li Daoxuan finished speaking, the sky, which had been covered with thunderclouds, suddenly shone brightly.

A beam of dark yellow light descended from the sky and landed on the giant black snake.

Moreover, the great fortune that was rising between heaven and earth also began to surge in, converging from all directions to the side of the great black snake.

The dark yellow pillar of light merged with the immense fortune, transforming into streams of dark yellow energy that swirled around the black serpent.

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up with delight, and he exclaimed in surprise:

"The power and fortune of Xuanhuang, good heavens... you've actually become a sect and an ancestor..."

As the first scaled holy spirit in the world to transform into a true dragon, the great black serpent was very fortunate to be recognized by heaven and earth and become the ancestor of its lineage.

Once it has fully transformed into a true dragon, it will be the undisputed ancestral dragon.

Such an opportunity truly defies fate and changes destiny.

Just as Li Daoxuan was overjoyed, nearly half of the Xuanhuang merit and fortune surrounding the black snake suddenly separated and came to Li Daoxuan in an instant, circling around him and cheering.

Li Daoxuan was taken aback, then looked up at the large black snake and said with satisfaction:

"There's no need for that. This Xuanhuang merit and fortune is the foundation for you to become the Ancestral Dragon in the future. There's no need to give me half of it."

After saying that, Li Daoxuan raised his hand and waved it, and the Xuanhuang merit and fortune surrounding him flew back directly.

The large black snake hissed softly, as if thanking Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Now that you have become my disciple, there is no need for formalities. Do not be distracted. Focus on refining these merits and fortunes."

Upon hearing this, the giant black snake dared not delay and began to concentrate on absorbing the profound merits and fortune.

Because of Li Daoxuan's previous descriptions of dragons, the rules concerning dragons have naturally been imprinted in the rules of the Xuanhuang World.

The black serpent understood immediately. With a thought, the vast expanse of Xuanhuang merit and fortune began to rapidly converge, eventually condensing into a Xuanhuang dragon pearl the size of a head, upon which nine mysterious dragon patterns appeared.

The giant black snake opened its mouth and swallowed the dragon ball whole.

Its body emitted a rich, dark yellow light.

Its eyes widened, and its body became more slender, roughly estimated to be at least ten zhang long.

A golden stripe has appeared on its back, as if a dorsal fin is about to grow out.

Finally, everything calmed down. The giant black snake leaped down the mountain, its body rapidly shrinking in mid-air. When it finally arrived in front of Li Daoxuan, it transformed into the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old boy.

He wore a black coat, had a golden vertical line between his eyebrows, and two small, pointed horns were hidden in his hair on the top of his head.
