In other words, the Golden Python before the master-disciple duo might have originally had the possibility of peacefully advancing to the Nirvana Realm by relying on purified bloodline. But now, after being fed a large amount of Dragon Transformation Grass to activate its bloodline, it has become a doomed insane experiment.

Because the Dragon Transformation Grass activates not only the bloodline power already absorbed by the Golden Python but also the unabsorbed bloodline power, and even the same-species bones in its stomach that haven't had time to digest.

A snake that is activated by an ancient bloodline might have the chance to transform into a dragon, a heaven-sent fortune.

But a snake activated with a myriad of the same bloodline within it, what kind of monster will it become?

In the eyes of Shi Hao, this Golden Python must have rotten luck to have ended up in his master's hands.

Thinking this, Shi Hao immediately stopped speaking.

He was also curious about the final outcome of this Golden Python.

As the saying goes.

From a young age, Shi Hao, who grew up in an environment similar to Chen Zhixing's, naturally resembled his master in some ways.

...

A day later.

Thunderstorms rumbled over Mangcang Mountain, accompanied by a thunderous dragon roar, as multicolored divine thunder fell like rain onto that Moon Lake behind Mangcang Mountain.

"Aoo!!!"

Golden light in the form of a dragon surged upwards, twisting and turning in mid-air, enduring the sharp Thunder Tribulation while emitting a heart-wrenching wail.

It was an unnatural existence that was never meant to appear in this world, and now, defying the Heavenly Dao to transform into a dragon, it naturally must perish under the Celestial Tribulation.

One could say that the current multicolored divine thunder was no longer a test for it but Heavenly Retribution against something distortedly defying the Heavenly Dao.

But even so, what can one do?

Just as the Golden Dragon was on the brink of death, its destruction imminent, a cold sword light flashed briefly in the sky.

The thunder ceased.

The thunderclouds turned into mist.

The Thunder Tribulation, originally containing endless destructive power, was reversed by this sword and transformed into nurturing energy typically experienced during the passage of a Celestial Tribulation, beginning to nurture the dying Golden Dragon below.

"So this is possible too."

Watching this scene by Moon Lake, Shi Hao's eyes were filled with envy.

The tribulation of this Golden Python was actually reversed by his master, to think that during his Nirvana Tribulation, he didn't receive such treatment.

So, is the Heavenly Dao truly just a bully after all?

Looking back at his master.

Having performed this heaven-defying act, his expression seemed unaffected, still maintaining that composed and transcendent look, as if this means of reversing the tribulation was simply a trifle to him.

Seeing the Golden Serpent unharmed, Shi Hao, not sure what he was thinking, laughed and approached Chen Zhixing.

"Hehe, Master, you've grown stronger again!"

"Hmm."

"Master, since this Golden Serpent survived the tribulation, how should we deal with it?"

"Hmm?" Chen Zhixing glanced at him, "Haven't you always wanted a pet? I'll give it to you."

"Really?!" Shi Hao's eyes lit up at the words!

"Hmm, keep it as a plaything. It should be able to keep up with you before Longevity."

Saying this, Chen Zhixing felt the experiment result was rather uninteresting.

The Golden Python successfully transformed into a dragon.

Moreover, it skipped the dragon-serpent stage, directly transforming from a clawless Golden Python into a golden Serpent Dragon with deer antlers and four claws.

And because during its metamorphosis, Chen Zhixing intervened, severing its memories and past karma with a single sword, the current Golden Dragon can be said to be no different than a newly born Serpent Dragon.

But even so, what of it?

There's nothing to look forward to, from its birth to its eventual death, its entire life's achievements are already within Chen Zhixing's preordained range, unable to break free.

No hope of Longevity, let alone beyond Longevity.

This artificially created entity, whose ultimate outcome was predestined from birth, no longer aroused any interest in Chen Zhixing.

Even if it has strong life force, long lifespan surpassing many Longevity Realm cultivators.

Even if it is born a Serpent Dragon, naturally attuned to gold and water, considered sacred from birth, with an innate Fourth Order realm.

But its whole life, no matter how hard it tries, would still be circling within the framework set by Chen Zhixing.

Unless it could gain the great fortune of the heavens, further transforming its four claws into five, to become a true five-clawed Golden Dragon.....

But such a thing is absolutely impossible in the Celestial Profound Realm.

Simply because the Heavenly Dao of this world does not permit it!

"Beyond Longevity is closed, the divine sanctity of the heavens does not manifest, all things in the world are bait for the Taoist Lord..... this world is still too small for someone like me today."

Now, Chen Zhixing has already reached the utmost limit of the Peak Realm, and even can be said to be at the limit set by both the Celestial Profound Realm and Peak Realm, and he acquired a Longevity Fruit Position long ago, able to clearly sense the disharmonies within the Celestial Profound Realm.

Hence the whispers of today.

The world is too small.

It's not that the Celestial Profound Realm is too small, but that the aspirations of those who first embarked on the path of the Taoist Lord among the Human Race were too limited.

Using the Tao of the Taoist Lord to replace the myriad paths of the original Celestial Profound Realm.

Use one to replace ten thousand.

Transform ten thousand into one.

It sounds extremely brilliant, and it did indeed contribute significantly to the flourishing of the Human Race in the Celestial Profound Realm, providing enough space and prospects for those who migrated to this world.

But this approach, to a cultivator like Chen Zhixing.....

"Without Longevity, there is no path, this kind of approach is too absolute."

Shaking his head, ignoring Shi Hao who happily scampered to the Golden Serpent, Chen Zhixing turned around and stepped forward.

The next moment, he had already arrived at Chongming Hall on Chongming Mountain.

The golden roc was resting.

The Left Immortal Envoy was reading to it.

With a bang, the doors of Chongming Hall fell inward from the outside.

Before anyone or a bird could react, Chen Zhixing's bland voice drifted into the hall through the sunlight.

"Come and fight me."

Fight?

The Left Immortal Envoy was still dumbfounded, he didn't even recognize that the person before him was the Demon Venerable who ascended the mountain five years ago.

"Who are you...."

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Chen Zhixing furrowed his brows.

For no other reason, right after he spoke, the golden roc that had been lying there well... ran!

Ran?!

"Heh, uninteresting."

Chen Zhixing turned and left, leaving the still bewildered Left Immortal Envoy in the hall.

...

Fight?

"Only a fool would fight you!"

The golden roc, having fled eight thousand miles from Chongming Mountain and hidden away, grumbled incessantly.

No other reason, it wasn't that it feared Chen Zhixing.

It's just that this kind of thing has happened to it more than once.

It's safe to say every time those prodigies it bullied achieved 'great success in divine skills', they all came wanting to fight it.

To it, the process was anything but pleasant.

Once or twice it was okay.

But every time after such a fight, it ends up being bullied instead, forcing it to run..... since that's the case, why not skip the being bullied part and flee immediately?

Anyway, no matter how exhausted they get, they can't catch it!

"But speaking of which, how fierce this Demon Venerable is, hasn't it only been a short time, five years? And he's already reached this realm?"

Recalling Chen Zhixing's previously unified aura, the golden roc's eye twitched with human-like emotion.

It knows this realm all too well.

It only signifies one thing.

There's no more progress possible within the Celestial Profound Realm! He has cultivated to the utmost limit of this realm! To the realm's ceiling!

This ceiling is called the Peak, the summit of a realm!

Peak, named so for this reason.

Beyond that, one either takes the path of the marked Taoist Lord, obtaining a Longevity Tao Fruit, or ventures outside seeking a continued path of cultivation.

As for staying and persistently studying to break through in the Celestial Profound Realm, planning to carve out a new path?

Forget it.

True Monarch Yimiao of the Daluo Taoist Lands tried, Huayu Immortal Venerable of the Immortal Ascension Sect also tried.

Before them, a certain Emperor Venerable nearly almost took the first step.

But the result?

"The Imperial Court crumbled, the two became saints, Heavenly Dao nurtured, all transformed into life, one descending, one... heh, aspiring to be invincible in one realm, how could it be so easy!"
