Summary
In an ancient village, an old snake accidentally ate a Pill.
The old snake, known as the Old Snake King by the local villagers, was a feared by ‘all’. One day, he stumbled upon a Pill, refined by a Taoist. This Pill was called the human pill. Once consumed, it opened up his path to be more than just an ordinary snake!
He had finally gained intelligence, comparable to that of the humans. Finally, it could finally set foot on the path of cultivation! Next step, Immortality!
But what was Immortality for a snake? In the first place, how could a snake be an Immortal? In fact, was it not an insult to call a Dragon a snake? Was its place not the lowest of the lows?
In that case, it first had to become a Dragon! The only way was through Nine Transformations, each a life-or-death Tribulation.
