For a Jiao to transform into a dragon, it must not only be approved by the laws of nature, but most importantly, it must also be recognized by the most intelligent creatures - humans.
After the dragon has passed the tribulation, it will ask for a title from humans. The human to be chosen is also particular, and is usually the first person it sees after passing the thunder tribulation.
When the Five Immortals of the Northeast ask for titles from people, they will sometimes ask you, "Do you think I look like a human?", but the Jiao will not speak.
It will appear in its original form in rivers near people. If you say it is like a snake, then it will fail to survive the tribulation and cannot transform into a dragon, and will not have the chance to proceed to the third level at all.
But if a human being it happens to meet tells it that it is a dragon, it will be blessed by human luck, and the scales that were split by lightning will grow back to cover its body, and dragon horns will grow on its head, making its appearance even more like a dragon.
Like a dragon, but not a real dragon.
Because it has a third level - Walking Dragon.
The so-called walking dragon usually occurs in the mountains and fields.
Because most Jiao live in rivers, lakes and ponds, if they want to truly transform into dragons, they must go along the river and into the sea.
When the dragon is walking, it will summon floods and heavy rains, and use the huge water force to rush into the mountains and rivers and then successfully enter the sea. Therefore, when the dragon is walking, it is often accompanied by strong winds, rainstorms and floods, which can easily cause damage to bridges and houses and casualties among ordinary people.
Wei Mian had heard from his master before that after a spirit snake has cultivated, it must never pass under a bridge, because bridges are for people to walk on. If a spirit snake passes under a bridge, it is equivalent to being stepped on by people, and it will never be able to get out of the bridge in its lifetime.
Therefore, when the dragon is walking, it must summon strong winds and rainstorms so that the water can flood the bridge and make it easier for it to pass through.
But the master said that other sects have different opinions on this matter, that is, there is a sword hanging under many bridges, and this sword has a name, called the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
It is to deal with the monsters in the water, naturally including dragons. When spiritual creatures want to use the water force to flow into rivers, lakes and seas, they will inevitably destroy the bridge. The dragon-slaying sword is hung under the bridge because their newly grown flesh is extremely afraid of this thing, and they will naturally choose not to pass under the bridge again when they see it.
But if the dragon wants to enter the sea, it must cross the bridge, so it can only summon a flood to pass through the bridge.
These are two different statements, but it is true that the movement of dragons is always accompanied by floods.
The black dragon in front of Wei Mian was killed at the second level.
That day, just after it survived the thunder tribulation, it met humans. They were Old Man Wang and Old Man Cui that Wei Mian saw in the illusion.
The black dragon was tumbling in the mountain stream with the current. The two men didn't see it at first, but it kept moving, and they were not dead, so they soon realized something was wrong.
"What is that?" Old Man Wang asked Old Man Cui, pointing at the black dragon in the distance.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Cui looked in the direction Old Man Wang pointed, and naturally saw the black dragon tumbling in the water.
At this time, the black dragon was covered in wounds, and its black body rose and fell with the water flow. From a distance, it looked like a snorkeling black dragon.
Old man Cui had a droopy face and didn't look closely at first, but he soon realized something was wrong. He immediately widened his eyes and looked over there carefully. He didn't know what he thought of, but a malicious smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What else could it be? Just a branch!"
Just a piece of tree branch.
Old Man Wang was puzzled. "A tree branch? I don't think so. Why does it look like a—"
"A what? You must be old and blurry-eyed. It's just a branch. I say it's a branch, and it's a branch. It will remain a branch forever, humph!"
Old Man Wang thought what Old Man Cui said was a little strange, but thinking that Old Man Cui was in a bad mood today, he agreed with him.
"You're right, it's a branch. Even if the king of heaven comes, it's still a branch! Is that okay?"
After hearing this, Old Man Cui glanced over there with malice, and when he saw that the black figure had disappeared, he burst into laughter.
His originally depressed mood instantly improved a lot. Since he was unhappy, why should he let others be happy? They should all be unhappy together!
In fact, Old Man Cui had no idea what was in the river, but he grew up in the village and had heard some stories passed down by word of mouth. He knew that the monsters in the mountains needed to find someone to give them a title after they became spirits.
But whether it is willing to block it depends on its mood. Now it is in a bad mood and is unwilling to block it!
No matter what it is, as long as he doesn't want it to go any further!
Old Man Cui felt relieved. He talked with Old Man Wang as they walked, and soon disappeared into the mountains. However, Black Dragon was in a different mood.
Old man Cui's words destroyed his thousand-year practice. Originally, he only needed to say that it looked like a dragon to pass the second level and successfully transform into a dragon by following the rivers and into the sea.
But Old Man Cui's words "tree branch" made it fail.
No one can be without resentment, let alone the black dragon with its skin torn and flesh covered in wounds.
At this moment, he was filled with grief and anger but could do nothing.
It rained heavily in that mountain for three days and three nights, and the cries of ghosts and wolves could be heard from time to time.
The black dragon was transformed from a giant snake through cultivation. Snakes are naturally very vengeful. Old Man Cui and Old Man Wang spoke with malice and deliberately called it a tree branch. The expressions and demeanor at that time were clearly remembered by it.
The black dragon had already developed intelligence, so it could naturally understand what the two meant, and therefore held a grudge even more.
When it finally recovered from its wounds, the first thing it did was to go down the mountain and kill the two men.
When Wei Mian saw this, he suddenly felt an invisible force coming, and his third eye was forcibly closed.
She closed her eyes and her body couldn't help shaking. Fortunately, it was pitch black everywhere and no one noticed that her eyes were red and her eyeballs were covered with bloodshot.
While Chu Zheng and the others were focusing their attention on the black dragon, Wei Mian circulated his skills throughout his body. At this moment, they were in the mountains, and the black dragon was in a state of emotional ups and downs and he didn't care about anything else.
She controlled the spiritual energy to wander around her eyes for a long time before the dull pain disappeared.
After opening my eyes again, I didn’t dare to use my third eye anymore.
After all, the black dragon is different from ordinary people. Using the Heavenly Eye to observe its past will definitely consume much more energy than observing ordinary people, so it is enough to roughly know the ins and outs of the matter.
"You took revenge on those two people because you failed to get the title, right?"
The resentful Black Dragon suddenly looked up when he heard this, and stared at Wei Mian with his vertical pupils.
"That's right! They deserve to die, they all deserve to die!"
After saying this, human tears appeared in the black dragon's eyes.
"They clearly knew what I was asking for. All they had to do was say I was a dragon and that I would return to repay them after I transformed. But they just said I was a tree branch because they were unhappy!"
"He did it on purpose. He knew it, but he still said it on purpose!"
