'These Great Demons seem bolder than the last time he saw them?'

Before Wang Lin could figure this out, Chen Zhixing's voice had already echoed from within the Ziwei Heng Palace in front of him.

"Come in."

"Yes, Master."

Ignoring the pretending-to-be-dead old rat, Wang Lin walked straight into the Ziwei Heng Palace with his junior brother, and saw his Master… Master...

Suddenly, Wang Lin widened his eyes, staring at the giant python occupying most of the space in the Ziwei Heng Palace. Seeing Chen Zhixing sitting beside the White Phosphorus Python, a drop of cold sweat unconsciously slid down from his forehead.

Another Peak Great Demon!

And this one is different from the previous ones; from its obviously violent aura, it's evident that this is a Snake Demon that has just broken through to the Peak Realm!

"Hm? Why are you looking at her?"

Slightly curious about Wang Lin's state at the moment, Chen Zhixing turned to look at the 'kind and amiable' White Flood Dragon, then turned back to the evidently distressed Wang Lin.

After a brief moment, Chen Zhixing said speechlessly, "It's been just over a year; what, you don't recognize her anymore?"

As Chen Zhixing's words fell, the White Flood Dragon lazily lifted her head, carrying Chen Zhixing to Wang Lin, using her large snake eyes to scrutinize the two youths in front of her, with a trace of human-like amusement emerging.

Wang Lin: "???"

Does he know this Flood Dragon?

Shi Hao didn't think too much, with Chen Zhixing's words, the young man nearly didn't have to think, and started climbing onto the White Flood Dragon with a smile.

"Recognize, recognize, she's the white snake Master keeps in the backyard pond. A few days ago, we heard she was to pass the Peak Tribulation. Master, has she transformed from snake to flood dragon?"

Upon hearing this, the White Flood Dragon nodded up and down with her ferocious flood dragon head.

Hm, Wang Lin surprisingly saw a trace of minor pride in her expression.

Chen Zhixing touched the smooth, jade-like snake scales beside him and smiled, "Hm, you could say she's halfway there."

"Halfway?" Shi Hao was curious.

"Hm, halfway. The realm has been reached, but she doesn't dare face the tribulation. So, she's here hiding at your Master's place, afraid of being struck by heavenly thunder."

As he said this, Chen Zhixing also felt somewhat speechless.

Demonic beasts' tribulations are stronger than those faced by the Human Race, but any Great Demon reaching the Peak Realm has a steadfast temperament. A case like the Snake Princess; her realm is reached but she dares not face the tribulation—this is the first one Chen Zhixing has encountered.

As for why the Snake Princess's reference changed from 'it' to 'her'.

Hm, one can only say that following this successful shedding and flood dragon transformation, her appearance changed pleasantly in Chen Zhixing's eyes, finally considering her as half-human.

It's a significant advancement!

At least the White Flood Dragon is quite satisfied herself; ever since arriving at Ziwei Heng, she hasn't been hit by Chen Zhixing even once in three days, which counts as progress!

The relationship with the metal lump has eased; the metal lump can help her resist the celestial tribulation, allowing her to continue cultivating peacefully on Ziwei Mountain. The White Flood Dragon considers her current lifestyle quite decent.

At least far better than those Demons in the outer courtyard.

Seeing the white snake in front once again tuck her head into her vast body, then watching his junior brother steadily walk towards the Master along the sleek snake body, Wang Lin pondered long and hard, realizing he doesn't have his junior brother's adventurous spirit. He could only bow down before Chen Zhixing with due respect:

"Master, your disciple has something to report."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Chen Zhixing looked at Wang Lin, then suddenly revealed a sense of realization: "Oh yes, yesterday when I emerged from seclusion, Sword Demon indeed said so."

Seeing this, Wang Lin nodded, then took out the small green bottle from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

"Master, look—recently outside Ziwei Mountain, you summoned a Dharma Image and called endless starlight. This treasure absorbed the starlight and has now transformed into such a form."

Chen Zhixing: "???"

Initially, he didn't pay much heed, but upon closer inspection—good heavens—the Emperor of the Six Realms, the Star of the North?

Though incomplete, the aspect of what's contained in the bottle was the appearance of the Dharma Body of Ziwei Heng Palace a few days ago. And upon careful distinction, one can easily tell, though incomplete, this small green bottle holds the Emperor of the Six Realms, the Star of the North, not just the transformation of starlight, but even mixed with a trace of law's intent, leaving Chen Zhixing stunned.

"Wait a moment, let me investigate first."

Casually picking up the small green bottle, one of Chen Zhixing's Thought Incarnations directly entered inside.

...

Inside the small green bottle.

The originally square-kilometer sized small world at this time already accumulated a thin layer of starlight on the ground. And the 'Dharma Body of Emperor Ziwei' visible even in the outside world now sits chained by law woven from starlight in the center of this small world. Although in appearance it's vastly different from the kilometer-tall Dharma Body that Chen Zhixing once transformed into, observing this seventy-meter tall Emperor of the Six Realms, Star of the North inside the small green bottle up close, still pressured Chen Zhixing immensely.

'This thing is dead!'

This was Chen Zhixing's first impression.

Immediately after, Chen Zhixing had a second thought.

'But it can come alive! At least inside this small green bottle, it can come alive!'

Outside the bottle, Chen Zhixing's physical body was startled by this thought he had. He didn't know how the small green bottle replicated the Emperor of the Six Realms, Star of the North, but the reduced Dharma Image within the bottle genuinely gave him a hope that it might 'come alive'.
