Infinite simulation from lock dragon well

【Day 93, facing you who is one with天地自然 (天地自然: Heaven and Earth, Nature), neither thunder tribulation nor wind tribulation, fire tribulation, can harm you in the slightest.

Your tribulation quickly passed, but you deeply understand that the most important part of your third trial is not these three tribulations, but whether you can understand your original heart and the location of the third trial.

After you passed these three tribulations, your dragon body began to change, you clearly sensed that your life was also undergoing transformation.】

【Day 94, your life transformation is completely completed, your aura instantly soared dozens of times.

At the same time, your appearance also underwent earth-shattering changes. Two dragon horns were entwined with a layer of water mist, one transformed from 壬 water (壬 water: one of the ten Heavenly Stems), and the other from 癸 water (癸 water: one of the ten Heavenly Stems). Under your abdomen, the fifth dragon claw grew out, stained with scorching flames, transformed from 丙 fire (丙 fire: one of the ten Heavenly Stems)...】

Is this image the evolved form after he comprehended 丙 fire?

Ji Zheng lay at the bottom of the Huai River, watching the screen, lost in thought.

癸 water and 壬 water strengthened the dragon horns.

甲 wood (甲 wood: one of the ten Heavenly Stems) turned into dark cyan dragon scales.

戊 earth (戊 earth: one of the ten Heavenly Stems) transformed into dragon bones, enhancing his defense.

丙 fire turned into the fifth dragon claw...

So, his current image is like a five-clawed azure dragon?

This image is acceptable.

"However, this fifth claw is quite interesting."

Ji Zheng was not at all surprised by this.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard of the saying that dragons have five claws.

In legends, the five-clawed golden dragon, one of the four divine dragons, had this characteristic.

The legend of the five-clawed golden dragon usually states that each dragon claw has five fingers, hence the name five-clawed.

But there is also another legend that the five-clawed golden dragon has a fifth claw hidden under its abdomen, at the very center of the dragon's body, which is generally not easily revealed, acting like a trump card.

So Ji Zheng was not surprised by the appearance of the fifth claw in the simulation.

Anyway, it's better than the dragon-headed snake body he evolved into in the last simulation.

...

【The evolved you roared endlessly, your cries resounded through the clouds, you felt your own power, you were shocked by the power within your body, this power far surpassed the past.

After the evolution was completed, you immediately wanted to find the old Taoist, but after searching, you found that the old Taoist had disappeared.

You were not surprised by this, just exhaled a breath towards the place where the old Taoist once lived, you used this breath to protect the house where the old Taoist once lived, and then flew into the sky and quickly left.】

【Day 95, you began to travel between heaven and earth, you deeply knew that although you could achieve the unity of heaven and man, you were still a long way from truly integrating into nature.

You began to travel east, trying to pass through the Central Plains and return to the location of the Three Du (三渎: Three Rivers).】

【Day 96, when you passed through the Central Plains, you encountered a mountain god, you faced this mountain god, and immediately took action.

You fought with it, the evolved you easily suppressed and killed it, you had a rough understanding of the changes in your combat power...】

...

【Day 98, you officially entered the heart of the Central Plains, but you found that the heart of the Central Plains at this moment was constantly plagued by war, and humans seemed to be attacking each other. You listened to the teachings of the old Taoist, did not participate in the disputes, and directly passed by.】

【Day 99, the more you entered the Central Plains, the more wars occurred, you couldn't help but feel curious as to why humans, with the existence of the Five Emperors, would engage in mutual attacks.

But you were still not interested in understanding, you just wanted to cross the Central Plains. To you, this azure dragon-like existence, even if humans discovered you, no one came to stop you, your aura was so powerful that these humans dared not come to stop you.】

【Day 100, when you passed by a human city, you heard a series of strange drum sounds in the city. The drum sounds were extremely penetrating and carried a strange fluctuation. Your mind was involuntarily attracted by the drum sounds.

You looked towards the place where the drum sounds came from, and saw that in the center of the human city, an altar was placed, and next to the altar, there were large drums placed. The strange drum sounds were coming from the drums.

You curiously looked at the drums, and through the conversations of the humans in the city, you learned that the names of these drums were called 'A-jie Drum' (阿姐鼓: Sister's Drum)...】

This drum is still around?

And it's even been placed on the altar?

Ji Zheng understood why he felt so strange when he heard the drum sound in the simulation.

The A-jie Drum is a human skin drum.

According to legend, the sound of the A-jie Drum can connect life and death, transcend reincarnation, and communicate with the gods, so it is mostly used to worship gods.

But the production process of the A-jie Drum is very cruel. The A-jie Drum needs to be made with human skin, but the human skin here is very particular. It needs to be made with the skin of sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls.

Moreover, these girls must not have experienced love affairs, and they must also be mutes. It is said that only mutes will not lie, and their souls can be guaranteed to be the purest.

There was a legend that when making an A-jie Drum, a suitable girl was encountered, but because she was not a mute, her tongue was cut off to meet the standard.

Moreover, the most cruel part is that the human skin required to make the drum skin needs to be peeled alive, so that the drum's sound will be better and the gods will be more pleased.

There are legends that there are still many such A-jie Drums in the snowy regions of the West.

"This drum is really useful, it can attract me in the simulation, which means it can really be used to worship gods."

Ji Zheng was greatly amazed.

Speaking of which, he has seen too many mystical objects produced by folklore in the simulation.

Such as Yingge Dance (英歌舞), Guan Jiang Shou (官將首), divination blocks (擲筊), etc.

Although this A-jie Drum reveals a strange style, it undoubtedly belongs to the ranks of mystical objects.

"However, what existence is being sacrificed in this simulation, using the A-jie Drum?"

Ji Zheng felt curious.

He continued to look at the simulation.

...

【You looked at the constantly beating A-jie Drum, you watched curiously, trying to discover, what existence is being sacrificed.】

【Day 101, you hid in the clouds, you looked at the sacrifice below, and found that the drum sound had changed, you immediately understood that the sacrifice had begun.

But you still didn't know who the existence these humans were sacrificing was.】

【Day 102, under your constant observation, you finally understood, who the existence being sacrificed was...】
