Chapter 1563 - 1583: Rene Brennan
After a tumultuous cloudburst over Black Mountain, Hugh Zuck and Mia sat cross-legged, facing each other. As they breathed and meditated, it seemed they had merged into one again, their souls intertwined and colliding in the void.
After a total of nearly four hours, they simultaneously opened their eyes, exchanged smiles, and Mia snuggled into Big Bull’s embrace while Big Bull chuckled foolishly.
"Alright, now Mia will teach you a supreme mystical skill from this world, called Eight, Nine Profound Skills."
"Eight, Nine Profound Skills?" Big Bull asked, puzzled.
"Yes," Mia smiled and said, "Once mastered: you can ascend the clouds above, and shrink the earth below. With a finger, you can split mountains; with a breath, stones can dance and sand can fly. You can alter appearances, making fools of those before you; summon ghosts at will, commanding the void at your leisure. With bean soldiers and straw horses, you’ll command eight-sided prestige on the battlefield. In peril, paper tigers bring forth spiritual marvels. Wind, cloud, thunder, and rain of your command; water and fire, blades and spears dare not harm."
"Sounds quite mystical!" Zhang, the fool, exclaimed with bright eyes.
"Indeed, you can also call it the Seventy Two Transformations. In any case, this divine ability is exceedingly powerful, and you should start practicing it right now." As Mia spoke, she bent a finger to imprint the mystical decree onto Hugh Zuck’s brow, instantly generating the memory of this skill in Big Bull’s mind. Hugh Zuck immediately closed his eyes and began learning the cultivation method of this divine ability.
Seeing Big Bull had entered deep cultivation, Mia slowly rose to her feet, leaping into one of the bedrooms within the Immortal Palace of Mia, where she found clothes to change into, then washed and dressed, pinning up her long hair.
Young girls grow their hair, women pin it up; having transformed from girl to woman, she naturally dressed as a woman.
After tidying herself up, Mia entered some secret places within the Immortal Palace, retrieving the magical treasures, Elixir, and mystical rarities she left behind years ago, seemingly preparing for a long journey, taking many items with her.
