Chapter 341: Derivation Yields A Divine Technique
The Thousand Mechanisms Jade Cosmos Scripture was discovered by Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi within the ruins of the Heavenly Mechanisms Sect in the Hundred Stones Grotto-Heaven on the border of Shilin Province. Though only a Nascent Soul technique, it had the profound abilities of discerning energy mechanisms and clarifying causality.
Li Fan was able to comprehend Formless Killing Mechanism largely thanks to the Jade Cosmos Scripture.
The Heaven-Swapping Art was obtained from Sikong Yi, a descendant of the Heaven-Swapping Sect. It allowed one to seize the fates of others and create avatars with that stolen fate, living up to its name of swapping heaven itself.
The secret art Visage Follows the Heart came from Zhou Qing'ang, a spy for the Five Elders Council and a past guardian of Tai’an Island. Paired with the Curio of heaven and earth, the Seven-Apertures Exquisite Heart, it could alter one's appearance to that of a completely different person, and was even capable of deceiving the Myriad Immortals Alliance's White Jade Heart-Questioning Platform test.
Energy mechanism, fate, and visage. Theoretically, combining these three could allow one to completely transform into another cultivator.
Li Fan had considered this possibility before. But these were all profoundly mysterious and abstract concepts. With his current theoretical foundation, even if he meditated in seclusion for centuries, he likely couldn't create a new technique based on them.
Now, with the opportunity to utilize the Derivation Jade to create a new technique, and considering the imminent widespread deployment of the Tianxuan Soul-Locking Array, which would strip all cultivators under heaven of their privacy, such an ability to assume another identity at will became critically important for Li Fan.
Therefore, without hesitation, Li Fan now poured the complete contents of the two techniques and one secret art onto the white paper.
Though it was just a single sheet of paper, the characters grew smaller and smaller as the writing filled up the page. It seemed capable of containing any amount of content.
