Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 94 Transformation (Seeking First Subscription)

The twin clones held third-tier Xuan Jade talisman brushes, meticulously inscribing mysterious lines on the mirage dragon's body.

Since advancing to the first tier of wizards and receiving the new inheritance, he has also learned more profound bloodline magic runes, enabling him to set up more powerful bloodline magic arrays.

This time, the bloodline purification of the second-tier mirage demon will definitely be better than that of the previous Mighty Dragon Ape.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the twin clones gently put down the talisman brush in their hands.

Now, countless mysterious lines are intertwined on the body of the mirage dragon, giving one a dizzying feeling just by looking at it.

"Three days have passed. If they had discovered it, they should have tracked it down by now," Su You thought to himself.

He chose to build the teleportation array in this dangerous location to buy himself more time to escape.

Above the cave is a completely enclosed area of ​​mud and rock.

Su You was able to reach a location ten miles underground by first using a third-tier earth-遁符 (earth-遁符, a type of talisman) to burrow one mile underground. He then dug and refilled the area, eventually establishing his cave dwelling at that location.

Unless the other party is a Nascent Soul cultivator who can manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth, attempting to penetrate ten miles underground would definitely cause a huge disturbance.

Regardless of whether the fourth-tier demon king living nearby would stop him, he could use the teleportation array to escape beforehand.

Then he returned to the Void Heaven Sect and resealed and hid the second-tier Mirage Dragon.

If things remain peaceful for a while, then we can continue.

But if you get caught, you'll just have to accept your bad luck, as long as you don't reveal your identity.

As for why he didn't return directly to the Void Heaven Sect, it was mainly because he was afraid of provoking a fifth-tier demon emperor. If he brought disaster upon the Void Heaven Sect, wouldn't he lose his backing?

After all, the twin clones have a clean identity in the Void Heaven Sect and excellent spiritual roots. As long as they perform well enough, they will be able to climb to a high position sooner or later.

At that time, the sect's knowledge passed down for tens of thousands of years will be fully acquired.

This time, the teleportation location is on the edge of the Lianyu Mountains, next to a fourth-tier immortal city, which is a subordinate immortal city of the Nascent Soul sect, Liuyue Sect.

He planned to rent a cave dwelling inside. The operation of the bloodline witch array and the transformation of the mirage dragon's bloodline both required a large amount of spiritual energy, and this process was continuous, so the support of spiritual veins was still necessary.

They quickly arrived at the market and rented a mid-grade third-tier cave dwelling. The twin clones then set up a new formation inside the cave dwelling to prevent others from spying on them.

Take out the bluestone slabs from the storage ring and then lay them out in order.

Su You had already prepared these magic arrays, and they could be activated immediately once the magic patterns on the mirage dragon's body were inscribed.

As the last syllable of the incantation ended, the bloodline magic array lit up with tiny points of light, slowly activating.

The surrounding spiritual energy was rapidly drawn in and poured into the mirage dragon's body through the magic array, activating the magical runes on its surface.

The spiritual energy rapidly washed over the mirage dragon's body, and the violent power caused the second-tier mirage dragon's body to crack in strands.

But more importantly, it's the impurities in the body that are being refined and expelled.

The magic array maintains the stability of the mirage dragon's body, ensuring that no matter how violent the power, it will not cause damage to the body.

The twin clones also occasionally fed them high-quality pills to replenish their qi and blood.

The aura of the Mirage Dragon gradually intensified, and the transformation of its bloodline passively enhanced its strength, rapidly increasing it from the initial stage of the second tier.

He sensed the increasingly powerful aura emanating from the Mirage Dragon, which even felt oppressive.

He knew that this bloodline enhancement could end.

"stop!"

Just as the Mirage Dragon was about to enter the third tier, the twin clones stopped the still-operating Bloodline Witch Array with a single thought.

Although if the Mirage Dragon's realm is raised to the third level, its bloodline will become even stronger, but its twin clones will no longer be able to merge.

The third-tier mirage dragon's divine soul exceeded the limit of his mental strength, which he could not withstand.

The current state is optimal; the transformation was interrupted just before the promotion, but it still brought about a slight improvement in essence.

The current Mirage Dragon bloodline is definitely much stronger than that of the Mighty Dragon Ape.

When the Mighty Dragon Ape used the Bloodline Witch Array, it ran it until it was finished, unable to transform anymore. In the end, its own realm only improved from the early stage of the second tier to the late stage of the second tier.

However, the Mirage Dragon bloodline still has an upper limit to continue improving. Even if the transformation is interrupted, its bloodline level is still a notch higher than that of the Mighty Dragon Ape.

The main reason is that this mirage dragon is a descendant of a fifth-order demon emperor. Although it is unknown which generation it is, its bloodline is still pure. In addition, with a higher-grade bloodline witch array, it naturally has a higher potential for improvement.

Su You estimated that even if it couldn't compare to the bloodline of those fourth-tier mirage dragons, it was still equivalent to a mid-to-late third-tier mirage dragon.

After all, the passive evolution of bloodline transformation almost allowed this early-stage second-tier mirage dragon to break through to the third tier, demonstrating the richness of its bloodline.

The shamanic array ceased, and the mirage dragons floated silently in the air, their forms constantly shifting, sometimes transforming into swimming fish, sometimes into flying birds, hundreds and thousands of them appearing in rapid succession.

"What an amazing art of transformation of expressions!" Su You exclaimed in amazement.

No matter how much he probed with his spiritual power, the life form conjured by the mirage dragon in front of him was just like the real thing, and he couldn't see any flaws at all.

Although Su You was not afraid of illusions, those illusions targeted his mental power. He could not see through this kind of externally manifested illusion.

"Is this the Mirage Dragon's talent? I can't wait to see it!"

He is now very much looking forward to gaining this powerful transformation ability after fusing with the Mirage Dragon.

This is millions of times more powerful than those so-called disguise techniques.

Su You was already quite adept at the next breakthrough, having already had the experience once before, so this breakthrough would be even easier.

The twin clones chanted incantations, summoning the inheritance pearl hidden deep within their consciousness.

A golden light fell upon the mirage dragon, and with a power akin to creation, in an instant, it transformed the ever-changing dragon into three blue-green seeds covered with mysterious patterns.

"Still three Primal Seeds, three chances." The twin clones looked at the floating Primal Seeds.

The breakthrough for a first-tier wizard is the simplest, and with the experience of breaking through once before, he is confident that he will succeed this time.

Although he was confident of success, he did not fuse the three primordial seeds directly into one. After all, fusing them one by one would have the same effect, and he wanted to be on the safe side.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the twin clones placed various pills, spiritual teas, and spiritual dishes that replenish qi, blood, and spirit on the ground.

These resources are essential for breakthroughs, and because there is no shortage of spirit stones, the resources used this time are even better than those used for the last breakthrough.

If this still fails, then you can only blame your bad luck.

After consuming the spiritual food and drinking the spiritual tea to stabilize his mind, he held several pills in his mouth. With a thought, his twin clones drew a primordial seed to their brows, where it shimmered with a bluish-green light.

"here we go……"

The twin clones took a deep breath and began to circulate the secret technique of burning life force, continuously converting it into their own spiritual power.

After taking a large amount of elixirs, his qi and blood remained in a safe state.

As a continuous stream of spiritual energy surged into the sea of ​​consciousness, some fluctuations and disturbances began to appear on the sea of ​​consciousness.

However, after taking the pills to stabilize his soul, his previously violent mental energy was instantly calmed down.

"It's reached its limit..."

The twin clones closed their eyes and activated the World Tree, the foundation of their spiritual world, drawing their spiritual power to it.

This is my own meditation object, the source of my own spiritual power, and the fundamental manifestation of my soul.

A large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed by the World Tree, causing it to continuously grow stronger.

The once empty World Tree finally sprouted its first branch.

Now the World Tree has finished growing and its spiritual power has completed its transformation; all that's missing is the fusion of its talents.

After the first branch was formed, the twin clones directly drew the primordial seed from between their brows, which landed on the branch and merged perfectly together, transforming into a blue-green fruit.

The other two primordial seeds from the outside world were also quickly drawn in, merging with the fruit and causing it to grow larger.

The moment the talent fruit fully fused, the spiritual energy within the cave began to be drawn in and poured into the body, cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the bones.

In addition, deep within the spiritual sea, the twin marks rooted at the base of the World Tree stirred for the first time, their runes beginning to change and evolve into even more runes.

Not only the twin clones, but Su You's twin marks also began to transform simultaneously. "The twin marks have evolved!" Su You smiled.

He had long been prepared for the transformation of the twin marks, and there was relevant information in the inheritance.

After all, how could such a high-level talent only have one ability? Most of the abilities were sealed due to insufficient mental strength. Now that both bodies have broken through, some of the abilities of the Twin Mark can also be unlocked.

The transformation of the Gemini Mark was very fast, after all, it was just the removal of the previous seal, which was completed in just a few breaths.

At the center of the Gemini Marks appeared a strange black hole, so deep that its destination was unknown.

"It's such an ability!" Su You couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

The black hole formed at the center of the twin marks can actually transfer the power of their talents to each other.

In other words, he and his twin clones can borrow each other's talents.

The only drawback is that it can only accept supernatural talents; talents similar to flesh and blood supernatural powers, such as Su You's Vajra Body, cannot be passed on.

Moreover, there is only one type of talent that can be transmitted through a black hole.

In other words, whether it's Su You or the twin clones, only one of them can borrow the power of talent.

For example, if the twin clones borrow Su You's Vajra Dragon Force talent, Su You will not be able to borrow talent from the twin clones, and he will also be unable to use his own Vajra Dragon Force talent.

Even with all these limitations, this ability is still incredibly powerful.

Moreover, when adventuring outside, Su You and his clone will definitely be in an absolutely safe place, so it doesn't matter if one of them can't use the talent when borrowing it.

After calming his excited emotions, Su You turned his attention back to the physical bodies of his twin clones.

This time, the physical body did not form a giant cocoon of spiritual energy as it did when breaking through to the main body; the transformation was completed in just one hour.

The twin clones clenched their fists, roughly sensing the changes in their physical bodies.

It is far from the level of transformation of the original physical body. Although the Mirage Dragon is also a dragon, it is different from other dragons. Its physical body is only slightly stronger than ordinary monsters of the same level, far inferior to monsters like the Mighty Dragon Ape, which has unique talents in physical body.

However, the twin clones are not positioned in the physical body, so whether or not the physical body is improved is irrelevant, although improvement would naturally be the best.

What he was really interested in was the mirage dragon's talent.

The twin clones focused their attention, re-entering their mental sea, their gaze falling on the blue-green fruit.

Three mysterious runes flowed across it.

“Three talents, I wonder which three they are…” The twin clones looked on with anticipation as they focused their mental energy on the fruit.

The next instant, three pieces of talent information were transmitted.

"These three talents!" Su You's face lit up with excitement.

The talent of shapeshifting allows one to transform into a life form they have ever seen, and to simulate the aura of that life form.

Su You had previously thought that this talent was a kind of illusion, but he never expected it to be a real transformation technique.

Although it's just a change in appearance, without the ability or talent to change the target, this method of transformation is already very powerful.

This is especially true for the Gemini clones, making it a powerful means of survival.

When faced with danger, it can transform into insignificant insects or other small creatures, enough to evade most enemies.

The second type is a more common talent, which is generally possessed by both the Mirage Dragon and Mirage Demon races: Mirage Qi.

Mirage is one of the mediums through which mirage demons and mirage dragons cast powerful illusions.

Compared to the Mirage Demon, the Mirage Dragon has a greater power to control the mirage energy, and can even transform the mirage energy into a real illusion to confuse the enemy.

The third talent, naturally, is what Su You has always hoped for and wanted to obtain: the Mirage Realm.

This is a magical space that exists between illusion and reality.

The moment the twin clones had a thought, they entered the mirage they had longed for.

"Is this what the initial state of the Mirage was like?" The twin clones frowned, looking at the illusory space, which was only the size of a house, with some disappointment.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied with the size of the mirage, but rather that this mirage was simply too fake. Compared to the mirage that Su You had seen, it was easy to spot numerous flaws.

Shaking his head, Su You calmed down. After all, this mirage dragon was only at the second tier. Even if it had inherited the talent, how much power could it possibly have?

Furthermore, the Mirage Realm should also be able to be continuously improved through acquired means.

Otherwise, what would that fifth-tier mirage dragon be doing, collecting so many souls and placing them in the mirage realm? It must have developed step by step from the very beginning of the illusory land through some kind of method.

This is a method that Su You will need to figure out on his own.

"Looks like I need to test out my shapeshifting talent first," Su You thought to himself.

If the shapeshifting talent is strong enough, the twin clones can switch places with the original body and take up residence in the wizard tower.

In particular, since the twin clones have mastered the Mirage Realm talent, a large number of experiments are needed to determine how to develop the Mirage Realm.

Staying at the Void Heaven Sect for too long would severely hinder his experiments.

He has influence on Luoxia Island, and can easily send people to obtain many experimental devices, but it's not so convenient at Xutian Sect.

With these thoughts in mind, the twin clones began to return to their outer cave in the Lianyu Mountains and then used the teleportation array to return to the Changqi Mountains.

Su You did not destroy the teleportation network connected to this place, thinking that it could be used in case of danger or any emergency.

Moreover, these teleportation arrays are all set with spells and secret incantations, so even if someone discovers them, they cannot use them if they do not possess specific witchcraft skills.

After the twin clones returned to the Void Heaven Sect, Su You immediately used the teleportation array to rush to the Changqi Mountains.

I came here this time to test the abilities of my shapeshifting talent.

He was preparing to travel to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to conduct this dangerous experiment.

This time, the combined power of the twin clones' Mirage Dragon bloodline is powerful, and their talent is no worse than that of a typical late-stage third-tier Mirage Dragon. It can easily deceive ordinary fourth-tier monsters, but it is uncertain how they will fare against late-stage fourth-tier monsters.

Only by testing and finding a way to deceive those late-stage fourth-tier demonic beasts can he ensure his safety within the Void Heaven Sect.

After all, the Void Heaven Sect has powerful cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage. Although the chances of him encountering one are very low, he still needs to prepare in advance.

The late-stage fourth-order demon kings can only be found in places like the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, where demon beasts gather, and there are even fifth-order demon emperors living there.

After leaving the cave in the Changqi Mountains, Su You directly borrowed the shapeshifting talent of the twin clones through the Twin Mark.

"It's truly extraordinary!" Su You turned around gently and transformed into a blue-blooded spirit leopard.

This is a second-tier demonic beast that he has hunted.

A water mirror floated in front of him, and the creature before him, in both appearance and aura, was exactly the same as the Azure Blood Leopard he had seen before.

"It really looks just like it!" Su You couldn't help but marvel.

In any case, he couldn't see any flaws.

It leaped swiftly through the jungle, and a roar immediately scared away the weaker monsters around it.

“Although we can’t simulate his innate abilities, we can still simulate his aura.” Su You jumped quickly and finally stopped at the edge of a cliff.

Then, with a leap, it transformed into a golden eagle, soaring through the sky.

This simulation is of a third-tier golden-eyed giant eagle.

He once encountered a monster while hunting it, and it swallowed him whole without him even having time to react.

After flying for a while, Su You suddenly felt powerless and could only mimic its shape. His current flying speed was not even one percent of that of the golden-eyed giant eagle.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to use this talent as a means of combat; being able to deceive the enemy was already quite good.

If the Mirage Dragon could freely mimic the talents of other monsters, how could it possibly be hiding in a corner of Cloud Pavilion Lake?

After flying hundreds of miles further in, Su You quietly changed his form in the air, transforming into an ordinary little sparrow, and slowly flew through the forest.
