Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

All the people in Yan Capital saw the gigantic Vermilion Bird of Divine Martial flying over the city, reaching the sky above Divine Martial Mountain.

Following that, the waves of battle from Divine Martial Mountain were like unprecedented earthquakes shaking the entire city, causing the inhabitants to struggle to keep their balance.

Each shop and archway shook constantly.

Even the waters of Smoke Wave River rippled with waves upon waves of spray.

Everyone wanted to know what was happening.

Fighting God Palace, Hua Yuexian, what exactly was the reason that without a word, they reached Divine Martial Mountain and launched such a fierce battle?

Although in their hearts they completely acknowledge the status of Fighting God Palace as a Martial Arts Holy Land, after all, the Daji Dynasty is still a country ruled by an imperial court governing the nation's Martial Forest. To single-handedly act against the future military academy of the court, what's the reason behind this?

Soon, as this fight slowly came to an end.

The Ear Report Gods familiar with major Yan Capital martial news agencies, through their charming espionage skills, were the first to get the full picture.

"Extra, extra, Divine Martial Mountain student Chen Ku, not long ago defeated Fighting God Palace disciple Hua Qingyun, leading Hua Yuexian to arrive at the mountain..."

"Extra, Chen Ku's strength has already reached the Ninth Realm Ninth Layer level!"

"Extra, after arriving at Divine Martial Mountain, the first choice Hua Yuexian made was trying to take Chen Ku as a disciple, but was refused, and then engaged in fierce battle with the former Martial Arts Top Scholar, Zu Dengfeng, only to be forced to retreat by Lord Li Shentong!"

As these extras spread throughout the major and minor forces within Yan Capital through the cries of newspaper boys, through the streets and alleys.

Chen Ku's name was directly imprinted in everyone's mind.

Different from previously battling Xu Fanfeng, and fighting against the Jiang Family brothers.

This time, Chen Ku truly became famous.

Ninth Realm Ninth Layer combat strength was enough to classify him among the top masters in Yan Capital, even in Dragon Abyss Province.

But the more important reason was because…

Hua Yuexian actually sought out this person specifically, not only disregarding the fact that he killed her disciple, but also willing to take him as a disciple.

This was unbelievable to everyone.

A person's qualifications and talent must be superior to such a degree to make someone like Hua Yuexian willing to compromise?

As the entire Yan Capital was buzzing.

Within a tavern in Yan Capital.

"This matter must be quickly reported to the Alliance Army, this Chen Ku is not like Hua Yuexian, the Fighting God Palace he's affiliated with won't exert effort for Ji Country, they only care about their own sect's inheritance, and this Chen Ku is definitely going to participate in the war between the two countries."

Someone said during an underground meeting:

"Someone with talent comparable to Hua Yuexian in our Yuan Country is as rare as a phoenix's feather, such a person must be reported to the sect and Alliance Army, dispatched for a targeted assassination, cannot let him smoothly grow and then enter the battlefield, that would put great pressure on our fellow Qi Cultivators at the frontline."

"I'll report this immediately to the Alliance Army, you should remain vigilant here as an undercover."

...

Another place.

Within Guanyin Zen Temple, Monk Guang Yan also heard the news, looking at Master Tian Hai standing in the courtyard with hands behind his back, he said softly:

"Master Uncle Ancestor, it's only been a short time, and the Sect Leader already has such reputation and strength, it seems it's just a matter of time before Putuo Mountain rises again."

"I never expected it, perhaps, this truly is the final blessing from Sect Leader Brother before he passed away for Putuo Mountain."

Master Tian Hai's gaze was calm:

"Old monk will spare no cost to preserve this hope for our Putuo Mountain."

Despite the outer world's commotion and the scale of the news, which began to spread from Yan Capital throughout Dragon Abyss Province, even to all thirteen provinces nationwide.

On Divine Martial Mountain.

After a simple three-day rest, Chen Ku was ready to go to Martial Arts Heaven and Earth for training.

Zhang Chixin's Pure Yang Transformation must be unleashed quickly to ensure he smoothly cultivates the Ninth Layer Sun Decision of Huntian Overlord Body. Only by mastering the Sun Decision can he initially grasp the Destruction Tower inheritance within the Iron Tree.

Subsequently...

He'll qualify as a True Disciple of Destruction Tower.

Then, he'll have a chance to obtain the Forbidden Technique Finger he's been yearning for, uncovering all treasures and secrets in the Hero King Realm.

Yet.

Before Chen Ku proceeded through Divine Martial Mountain's channels to Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.

His residence was infiltrated by a patch of wet stains.

"Oh, Tang Xuan..."

His gaze slightly flashed:

"What is it? Is there any other commotion or news in Yan Capital?"

The person who arrived was none other than the transformation incarnate he crafted using Tang Xuan and Xuanwu Spirit Body, he served as the person in charge of the Dan Yuan Association in Yan Capital, responsible for coordinating with Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting.

Then, Tang Xuan slightly smiled and said: "Inside the city, it's mainly about your connection with Fighting God Palace. Some people greatly admire you, believing you're undoubtedly the number one among peers. However, my visit here isn't about Yan Capital, rather it's..."

In his hands, he showed a storage pouch.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's eyes slightly flashed, as if he realized something, and joyfully said: "The conditions for cultivating the Twelve Transformation Diagram have been met?"

Tang Xuan shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not only the Twelve Transformation Diagram, but also the conditions for the Thirteen Transformation Map are all gathered."

Chen Ku was overjoyed: "Really?"

These cultivation conditions for the two diagrams were:

[Twelve Transformation Diagram cultivation conditions: One thousand Spirit Jade, ten jin of Immortal Sword Sand, ten jin of Black Wood Iron, ten jin of Qingtan Gold, Eighth Realm Once Marrow Cleansing cultivation, ten strands of Eighth Realm Evil Qi]

[Thirteen Transformation Map cultivation conditions: Three thousand Spirit Jade, one hundred jin of Immortal Sword Sand, one hundred jin of Black Wood Iron, one hundred jin of Qingtan Gold, Eighth Realm Three Times Marrow Cleansing cultivation, one hundred strands of Eighth Realm Evil Qi]

Among them, Spirit Jade and cultivation, as well as Eighth Realm Evil Qi, he already met the requirements.

Only lacking were the Immortal Sword Sand, Black Wood Iron, and Qingtan Gold, these three precious metals.

Now, he immediately pulled Tang Xuan into the Hero King Realm.

Let Tang Xuan pour out these three precious metals from the storage pouch.

That's three small piles, each about the size of a pillow.

Yet each weighs a hundred and ten jin.

[Detected beside the Diagram Master, conditions matching the 'Twelve Transformation Diagram' and 'Thirteen Transformation Map' for cultivation...]

[Since the Diagram Master met all cultivation conditions for the Twelve and Thirteen Transformation Diagrams, would you like to sacrifice the remaining conditions and directly cultivate the two diagrams?]

Chen Ku's heart was filled with excitement.

Yet he didn't forget to inquire about the price of the three precious metals from Tang Xuan: "How much did it cost?"

Extending one finger, Tang Xuan said: "Not much, not less, exactly one billion silver."

Chen Ku was slightly stunned: "Is it that expensive?"

Tang Xuan laughed and said: "Immortal Sword Sand is Immortal Weapon material, and the same goes for Black Wood Iron. As for Qingtan Gold, it's rumored to be grown only within Buddhist Holy Land as the Holy Tree, combining these three materials is enough to forge a small Immortal Weapon."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku set aside his distress.

After all, every penny was earned by his incarnations from managing industries.

But now everything was for cultivation.

Chen Ku gazed at the words flowing down the Transformation Diagram:

"Sacrifice!"

He wanted to see what new Innate Divine Ability the completion of the two transformation diagrams, especially the Thirteen Transformation Map, would bring him.

Crackling~~~

As if a large mouth opened from void, the three piles of precious metals in front of Chen Ku silently vanished.

Immediately, a light burst forth from Chen Ku's body.

In his mind.

When all conditions are met,

Rustling~

Two scrolls simultaneously unfolded from his mind, like a world painting.

[Twelve Transformation Diagram cultivated]

[Thirteen Transformation Map cultivated]

[With every third, there's change. Since the Diagram Master cultivated the Thirteen Transformation Map, the third Innate Divine Ability 'Heart Transformation' is successfully unlocked...]

"Heart Transformation?"

Curiously, Chen Ku gazed at these four words, then focused on the Heart Transformation words at the bottom right corner of the Thirteen Transformation Map, beginning to comprehend them in detail.
