Chapter 67 The Art of Transformation!
Those who cultivate the most powerful techniques can be said to have seized the creation of heaven and earth and invaded the mysteries of the sun and moon.
This is a path to immortality forbidden by heaven and earth; once mastered, even ghosts and gods will find it intolerable.
Therefore, there will be three calamities and harms.
Five hundred years after achieving spiritual cultivation, a lightning calamity will descend from the heavens. Those who can escape it will live as long as the heavens, while those who cannot will perish.
Five hundred years later, yin fire descended from the sky.
The fire started from the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot, and went straight through to the Niwan Palace, turning the five internal organs to ash and the four limbs to decay.
Five hundred years later, the Bifeng wind will descend again.
The medicine is blown into the six internal organs through the fontanelle, passes through the dantian, and penetrates the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to dissolve and the body to dissolve on its own.
Xu Xian, being a naturally pure being, cultivated the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, one of the most supreme cultivation methods in the world.
Naturally, there is a way to avoid the three calamities.
The art of transformation!
Among them, the most well-known transformation technique is naturally the Monkey King's seventy-two transformations.
The Seventy-Two Transformations are unlike ordinary transformations; they are true supernatural powers!
Ordinary transformation techniques are not particularly profound. Any living being with magical power can generally make some transformations.
However, these changes belong to the lowest level of transformation techniques, and are more like sleight of hand.
Let alone fooling gods and Buddhas, even cultivators or ordinary people with a bit of sense can detect the anomaly.
A more advanced form of transformation involves actual physical alteration.
At this level, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to distinguish it.
Even cultivators with lower cultivation levels wouldn't be able to see the intricacies involved.
Only true masters can see through this kind of transformation technique.
Both of these transformation techniques are superficial and cannot truly evade the three calamities.
As for the Seventy-Two Transformations, that is a higher level of transformation.
This is a complete and utter change, absolutely impossible to see through.
Not only did its appearance completely change, but its properties also remained consistent with the object that had changed.
If you become a bird, you can naturally soar through the air.
Even if you transform into a fish, you can still roam freely in all the rivers and lakes of the world.
Apart from certain supreme treasures and truly powerful beings, none of the other gods and Buddhas could see through the mystery within.
After learning the Seventy-Two Transformations, Monkey King displayed his supernatural powers whether he was causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, fighting Erlang Shen, or on his journey to the West.
They were invincible.
Apart from the Heavenly Court's Demon-Revealing Mirror, none of the other gods and Buddhas could see the Monkey King's transformation.
Its power is evident!
Upon hearing Bodhi Patriarch's words, Xu Xian immediately knelt and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master!"
Bodhi Patriarch pointed again, and two golden lotuses immediately emerged from the ground.
Jinlian is one big and one small.
The smaller golden lotus has thirty-six petals, while the larger golden lotus has seventy-two petals.
The Bodhi Patriarch smiled and said, "My method of transformation subtly aligns with the numbers of the Heavenly Dipper and the Earthly Fiends. I wonder which one my disciple wishes to learn?"
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Master, I have previously studied the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Book of Wish-Fulfilling Treasures), which records 108 spells. I feel that I have an affinity with the number 108. May I learn them all?"
"Hehe, you're quite greedy. Fine, when you ascend to the Heavenly Court in the future, you can combine the 108 spells and 108 transformation techniques into one, naturally making it infinitely powerful."
Xu Xian thought to himself, "My master is truly amazing. He has seen through my plan completely."
However, he still said, "Thank you, Master!"
Xu Xian knelt down again, then plucked off two lotus flowers.
The lotus petals immediately fluttered in the wind and disappeared into Xu Xian's body.
[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the Transformation Technique (Red)]
Xu Xian put away the lotus flower, and the Bodhi Patriarch before him also disappeared from the spot.
Xu Xian knelt and bowed in the direction of the Three Star Cave, and continued to fetch water.
As time went by, Xu Xian became more and more proficient in mastering the Seventy-Two Transformations.
During this time, he listened to several more sermons by the Bodhi Patriarch and had several extraordinary encounters.
He made all his supernatural abilities reach the purple level.
Xu Xian finally mastered all 108 transformation techniques.
Based on the level of this transformation technique, Xu Xian could freely transform into anything in the world.
Moreover, when he transforms into things of a lower level than himself, he can perfectly imitate the various characteristics of the transformed thing.
For example, if he were to transform into a carp spirit, he would naturally be able to use the supernatural powers of a carp spirit in the water.
Unless it is a priceless treasure or a wondrous being like the Di Ting, no one else can discover it.
Of course, if Xu Xian chose to transform into a being of a higher level than himself, he could perfectly mimic the aura of that being, but he would not be able to truly unleash his supernatural powers.
At this moment, Xu Xian could even transform into the Jade Emperor or the Buddha, but he did not possess their boundless magical power.
"If it were a color-level transformation technique, I could truly transform into all things in the world."
Xu Xian murmured something, knowing he couldn't be too greedy, so he focused on his cultivation.
The Bodhi Patriarch's temple was extremely quiet, and naturally no living being dared to cause trouble there.
Therefore, Xu Xian's days of cultivation were quite peaceful.
He had been working to improve his cultivation in order to learn the last three supernatural powers.
The art of riding the clouds and mist, imitating the heavens and the earth, and creating an avatar outside the body!
One day, Xu Xian opened his eyes.
The resounding voice of the Great Dao suddenly echoed throughout Fangcun Mountain!
The senior disciples in Fangcun Mountain were truly taken aback.
"Wow, the great Dao of Heaven and Earth is automatically resonating with a grand melody?"
"It seems Junior Brother Xu has made progress in his cultivation!"
"That's truly something to celebrate."
……
The fellow disciples of Fangcun Mountain presented Xu Xian with celestial fruits and fine wines to celebrate his breakthrough.
Xu Xian naturally accepted the gift with a smile, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to his fellow disciples.
After everyone celebrated, Xu Xian opened his own interface.

"Excellent! Your physique has finally reached over 3000, you can now learn a true color-level supernatural power—Heaven and Earth Transformation!"
Xu Xian nodded in satisfaction, but felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Because he had been staying at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain for decades, there were still some unresolved matters in Hangzhou.
His sister, Xu Jiaorong!
This woman treated him with such sincerity that Xu Xian truly felt a sense of belonging to this world.
Having been away for decades, Xu Jiaorong must be quite old by now.
"Ugh."
"I told my sister I was going to the capital to take the imperial examination, and decades have passed since then. It's truly bittersweet."
Even so, Xu Xian knew that he had embarked on the path of cultivation and should sever his ties with the mortal world.
He sat cross-legged in his room, pondered for a while, and suddenly laughed, "I will become a great supernatural being, making the entire world develop according to my will. So why should I allow myself to be mired in bitter emotions?"
"Who says that spiritual practitioners must sever ties with worldly life?"
"Since you miss your sister, then go back and visit her."
Xu Xian decided to temporarily abandon his cultivation of the Heavenly Manifestation Technique and instead learn the art of cloud-riding and mist-transferring, quickly heading to his home in Hangzhou.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian went directly to Bodhi Patriarch, kowtowed and said, "Master, your disciple has something to ask of you."
Bodhi Patriarch opened his eyes and laughed, "Want to learn the art of escape? That's easy."
