Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Hoo~~

Chen Ku slowly opened his eyes in a courtyard of the Three Emperors Ancestral Masters Association within Qiu Dragon Mansion. At this moment, with just a sweep of his divine sense, he could perceive that all his friends and mentors were present in the Three Emperors Ancestor Master Courtyard.

Yang Luochen and Monk Yunfang, the two elder masters, were currently lying on deck chairs in the courtyard, basking in the sun, looking very content.

After Chen Ku's divine sense reflected the two old men, a warm smile appeared on his lips. Although he had been in Yan Capital for over half a year, the ones he trusted and felt most moved by were still these two mentors who had guided him at the start of his journey.

"So nice."

He muttered to himself gently.

Chen Ku wasn't in a hurry to go out and meet the two mentors.

Instead, he took a deep breath and transitioned to a new body. His cultivation and spoils were brought over along with the Transformation Diagram, as well as the Pure Yang Qi devoured by the left eye of the Divine Eye, and a large mass of spiritual energy that had been stored in the eye.

The left eye's ability of Before Taiyuan and Swallowing Spirit and Replenishing Qi would allow it to break down things into Spiritual Energy and store it in the left eye.

Currently, stored in Chen Ku's left eye was not only the energy released by Zhu Jianfu's self-detonation and a Pure Yang Treasure but also spiritual energy transformed from the projection of Fire De True Monarch from the Tenth Realm, dispersed by Before Taiyuan.

Hoo~

At this moment, Chen Ku first used his Huntian Overlord Body cultivation to refine the Pure Yang Qi in his left eye. His Heavenly Yang Physique, upon encountering this Pure Yang Qi, was like a thirsty person finally finding a sip of water in the desert, completely aligning with his physique.

In less than half a day, Chen Ku fully refined this Pure Yang Qi.

Meanwhile, within Chen Ku's body, wisps of faint mist began to appear, nourishing each other with the Blood Qi throughout his body, giving Chen Ku a warm feeling.

"The Sun Decision corresponds to the Martial Practitioner's Ninth Layer cultivation. According to the standard of achieving great achievement, the Pure Yang Qi within the body needs to reach a level comparable to the peak of the Nine Reincarnations to transform into a 'Cultivation Body.' According to the standard calculation of this Pure Yang Ship..."

Chen Ku calculated in his mind:

"It seems like I need at least two more items like Zhu Jianfu, the Pure Yang Ship, to fully complete the cultivation of the Sun Decision, transforming it into the Sun Technique, achieving Yin Yang Balance, and reaching the peak state of the Ninth Layer of the Huntian Overlord Body. That would be a quality upgrade, where Five Elements Mutual Generation, Wind and Thunder complement each other, and Yin Yang coexist, laying the foundation for crossing into the Tenth Realm."

Hoo~

He gently exhaled a warm breath.

Chen Ku transformed in place, turning into the appearance of "Zhu Jianfu." This was the most basic ability achieved by cultivating to the Transformation Level of Zhu Jianfu, after which he began to absorb all the immense Spiritual Energy in his left eye into Zhu Jianfu's cultivation from the transformation…

The body of Zhu Jianfu looked to have a bone age of no more than thirty but could reach the peak of the Ninth Realm Void at such an age. Presumably, within Ji Country, he could rank ahead of others in one province as an outstanding figure.

This kind of outstanding Heavenly Pride Qi Cultivator, now with the immense spiritual energy accumulated in Chen Ku's left eye, he wanted to see if he could make Zhu Jianfu's transformation advance from the peak of the Ninth Realm Void towards the Tenth Realm Divinity Transformation in the Qi Cultivator's path!

If possible,

Then this Qi Cultivator transformation could very well be his first to possess Tenth Realm battle power, which would be an immeasurable benefit for his upcoming exploration along the border of Yuan Country.

Chen Ku at this moment introspected within himself.

In the process of cultivation, the potential of Green Dragon Transformation was cumulative, which could help him break through barriers. This was also why Chen Ku had no bottlenecks on his journey thus far.

In a certain sense, a person's potential can definitely become one's limit.

The supreme talent of Green Dragon Transformation was enough for Chen Ku to crush down ninety-nine percent of those on the Dragon Abyss Genius List in terms of potential and comprehension. Were it not for Chen Ku being uncertain about the degree of Hua Yuexian's potential, he might even boast that he could crush Hua Yuexian in potential.

Chen Ku himself felt that the potential enhancement brought by the Green Dragon Transformation would allow him to face no bottlenecks before the Eleventh Realm.

Furthermore, from the long time he had spent and his contact with the two systems of Qi Cultivation and Divine Soul, he discovered that potential was something that did not pick physique or system; it provided the same enhancement to cultivation pathways of any other systems.

Hoo!

Once Chen Ku completely calmed his mind, he began to release the immense spiritual energy from his left eye, refining it using Zhu Jianfu's cultivation method and letting it circulate.

Chen Ku already knew Zhu Jianfu's background; he was a descendant of 'Fang Xian Sect,' one of the six major sects initially stationed at the Two Realm Mountain by Yuan Country's military forces. He cultivated Fang Xian Sect's supreme inheritance, reputed to directly point towards the Twelfth Realm 'Transcendence Tribulation Stage' Immortal Technique.

Its name was "Zhi Xuan Immortal Method," and it was an immortal technique that, during the course of cultivation, could continuously guide the cultivator into a special Satori state, one that was as mysterious as it was wondrous.

In such a state of enlightenment, cultivators often make rapid advances.

Within Yuan Country, disciples of Fang Xian Sect, sometimes, through enlightenment, can even break through three realms in a single day, achieving "Heart Movement in the morning, Spirit Silence at noon, Golden Core in the evening."

Of course, this is based on sufficient spiritual energy resources.

For Qi Cultivators, spiritual energy is like 'food,' essential for maintaining cultivation and life. In Yuan Country, situations like the following often occur: there are geniuses with supreme talent who, due to poverty, fail to obtain enough Spirit Jade resources for breakthrough and cultivation, often stagnating at a realm for decades, or wasting half their life.

This is a glimpse into the cultivation world of Yuan Country, a world completely dominated by 'spiritual energy resources.' In some sense, it is also the drawback of this path, because the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is fixed. Great cultivators occupy ninety percent of the spiritual energy resources, and the remaining ten percent is shared among the vast number of Qi Cultivators, leading to extremely uneven distribution of spiritual energy resources.

This is why Yuan Country must wage war against Ji Country, to seize spiritual energy resources. The issues in Yuan Country's cultivation world have become so severe that they can only be alleviated by external warfare to address the serious problems and conflicts brought about by its own cultivation system.

At this moment, Chen Ku wasn't too concerned about these things; he only considered whether he could smoothly use the void peak transformation of Zhu Jianfu to break through into the Tenth Realm.

After activating Zhi Xuan Immortal Method.

He felt that this immortal technique belonging to Fang Xian Sect of Yuan Country, as described, indeed brought a sensation akin to chewing Enlightenment Tea, with unprecedented sensitivity to cultivation perception and mana control.

Originally, Chen Ku possessed the supreme talent of Green Dragon Transformation, and with the augmentation of this technique that subtly enhances enlightenment and cultivation, he vaguely saw a point of spirit light deep within the soul of Zhu Jianfu's transformation.

This point of spirit light, essentially, is the continuation of Chen Ku's innate wisdom upon this transformation.

At this moment, it brought Chen Ku a profound realization:

"Is this the origin of the Primordial Spirit of a Qi Cultivator, the point of spirit light in the human body, also called 'Primordial Nature,' 'Innate Nature,' 'Innate Spirit Light,' and so on. However, due to postnatal influences after human birth, one's innate spirit light is obscured by illusory dust, preventing it from returning to its true essence."

He murmured in his heart:

"And the so-called Void is about piercing through postnatal illusions to find one's spirit light. Now... I found it so easily, is it because the talent of Green Dragon Transformation is too strong, or is it a coincidence by chance?"

Most Qi Cultivators in Yuan Country remain stuck at the peak of Void, just a step away from the Divinity Transformation level with a lifespan of two thousand years. This is largely because they 'cannot break through' themselves—they can't find themselves, so they can't find their innate nature.

"Or is it because of my application of Heart Transformation, leaving my true body, and, from another's perspective, achieving the clarity an observer has?"

Chen Ku's thoughts briefly flickered, but he didn't further speculate on it. Since he found the innate spirit light, the next step is to inject all his mana cultivation into it, allowing it to...

Transform into Divinity!

Transform into a Primordial Spirit with a two-thousand-year lifespan!

Boom!

The cultivation within Chen Ku's body of Zhu Jianfu began to surge into that point of innate spirit light, as if nurturing a newborn self.

Unconsciously, seven days passed.

And during this process, all of Zhu Jianfu's cultivation was exhausted. But the point of innate spirit light appeared to have only manifested a faint human outline.

This is also a common problem encountered by cultivators in Yuan Country: a lack of mana and insufficient reserves of spiritual energy.

Yet Chen Ku was completely free from these concerns.

The massive spiritual energy stored in his left eye was directly transformed into Qi Cultivation, without any issues of refining, becoming like a source of a long river of mana, a stream of living water flowing continuously.

Chen Ku finally realized the power of the weakened version of 'Before Taiyuan' 'Tai Ling's End' combination in his pupil power; it was through the fusion of a thread of Tai Ling's End law in Fire De True Monarch's spiritual fire into the Ten-star Eye. At most, it reverted objects and energy to the state of spiritual energy, accomplishing direct digestion into mana without refining.

He finally understood why Master Changrong was able to elevate from First Realm to Fourteen Realms within just a month.

Because that surpasses spiritual energy to innate primordial qi; his pupil light merely flickers, dissolving and refining into his body. Primordial Qi is the fundamental basis of all postnatal flesh, energy, and everything in existence, directly increasing innate primordial qi, meaning that the heavenly Master Changrong doesn't require any cultivation. The flesh, physique, and even mana are growing rapidly. Even a Fourteen Realms pig could blow a mountain apart with a breath.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With an unrefined supply of pure spiritual energy transformed into mana in the left eye, as days passed by...

That point of innate spirit light gradually began to take shape.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
