Legend says that after five hundred years of cultivation, a python transforms into a hui, and after another five hundred years, the hui transforms into a jiao.
For any snake aspiring to become a dragon, reaching the hui stage meant truly entering the path of cultivation. And once it crossed the threshold into the jiao stage, it gained the power to churn up winds and summon waves.
This particular hui had small, horn-like bumps sprouting on top of its head, fan-like membranes behind its ears, fins along its back, and sparse manes behind its skull. Every single one of these traits indicated that this hui was at the critical juncture of transforming into a jiao.
