Chapter 326: What a handsome tree [Thanks to the leader of "Gentle Eleven Knives"] [More to come]
"Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts..."
Elder Shichen slowly gave an answer that made Li Chu quite excited.
The Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts have thousands of variations.
There are literally tens of thousands of magical powers in the world that can bring about changes.
However, most of those methods of change are sleight of hand and illusion. Anyone who is sensitive to the breath can easily detect them. They can only be called "minor changes".
There are not many magical powers that can be called "great changes".
Li Chu is very clear about the difference between "small changes" and "big changes".
His mind-eye technique can easily see through "small changes". When performing "small changes", the caster is in a state of maintaining supernatural powers at all times. No matter whether it is a cultivator or an evil spirit, their aura will be exposed.
so.
Anyone who had ever "changed a little" in front of Li Chu was arrested on the spot.
However, the real "big change" is enough to completely change the caster's own form. In this way, the aura is exactly the same as the changed object. As long as the caster does not reveal himself, there will be no flaws.
This kind of "big change" can only be detected by special treasures such as the magic mirror, or the natural pupil technique such as the wise eye of the monk Shenmu.
The most common "great transformation" technique in the world is to transform evil spirits into humans.
Because in order to achieve a "great change", one must obtain the approval of Heaven.
It is like there is a license between heaven and earth, called "Dao Yin", and all living things have their own unique Dao Yin method. If you want to transform into such a living being, you must get the unique seal.
After the evil spirits have gone through arduous training and survived the thunder tribulation, they will be favored by the heavens and rewarded with a "human race" seal. Therefore, ordinary monsters will not be discovered until they transform into humans.
The reason why this seal rewarded by God was given to the human race might be related to some mysterious rules. Tens of thousands of years ago, this seal bestowed by God might have been given to the dragon race.
However, humans do not have the opportunity to obtain the Dao Seal after surviving the thunder tribulation, so it is common to see monsters transforming into humans, but it is rare to see humans transforming into other things.
Because learning a magical power may not be difficult, but if you want to achieve a "big change", you must get that seal, which is the key to transforming all things.
I have said before that there are not many ways to make "great changes" in the world.
The Eight-Nine Profound Art is undoubtedly the strongest among them.
Because this is an immortal technique! Of course, it is impossible for Elder Shichen to master the complete Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique.
Because in ancient times, the complete Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts had thirty-six Heavenly Gangs and seventy-two Earthly Fiends, with a total of one hundred and eight variations, which included one hundred and eight seals. The combination of the Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Fiends could rank at the pinnacle among immortal arts.
But after experiencing all kinds of disasters, the complete Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts no longer exist in the world. Only in the ruins of the gods can one occasionally find one or two incomplete seals, but the person who obtained them would never make them public.
This has led to the current Eight-Nine Profound Art, which, although claimed to have one hundred and eight transformations, may have only dozens of variations circulating in the world, and each immortal sect has three or five traditions, while another has one or two, making it extremely scattered.
If you can master one of the seals, it will be a great opportunity.
…
"In Gao Qiao's cave... there is actually the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts hidden?"
Li Chu was also somewhat surprised. When he saw the big tree transformed by Elder Shichen before, he thought it was indeed very exquisite, but he did not expect it to be a fairy magic.
"About a thousand years ago, our ancestor had the opportunity to meet a great demon... Huaizu." Elder Shichen narrated.
Huaizu?
Li Chu thought of the origin of Zhengqi Academy again. This Huai Zu had a strong presence.
"This great demon taught our ancestors the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill of transforming into trees, which enabled our tribe to thrive in the mountains and forests, and we have gradually become stronger since then."
Elder Shichen looked at Li Chu and said, "If Taoist Xiao Li agrees, then our clan can use this technique to exchange for those blood demon crystals."
"Okay." Li Chu naturally had no hesitation.
Even though it was just a seal in the Eight-Nine Profound Art, and the transformation into a tree lacked some spirituality, it should be among the lower 72 Earthly Fiends.
but……
After all, it is a magical method!
The weight of the two words "immortal magic" is enough to overwhelm everything.
No matter how precious the blood demon crystal is, you can only get it by killing two ghosts. Immortal magic is not something you can learn just because you want to.
When Elder Shichen saw that Li Chu agreed, he carefully pulled out a piece of parchment from his sleeve.
"This is the mental method and seal of the Eight-Nine Profound Art..."
Li Chu took it carefully.
"In my clan, the fastest one to practice this profound skill takes ten years, and the slowest one takes nearly thirty years. Even I, an old man, practiced it for twenty years before I mastered it." Elder Shi Chen warned: "Master Xiao Li, remember not to be too impatient. If you can't control the Dao Seal and force the transformation, it is likely to cause a disaster, and you may even turn into a tree and never come back."
"I remember it." Li Chu nodded.
…
That night, the master and his disciple stayed here.
Li Chu studied the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill all night long, and it was indeed very mysterious.
Think about what you have learned before...
The iron vest, the acupoint pressing hands, the swimming steps, I felt it was amazing when I came into contact with a small Bodhi mantra.
Compared with this Eight Nine Mysterious Arts...
To put it mildly, it's all garbage.
This magical power that conforms to the great principles of heaven and earth contains countless combinations of rules, all of which are areas that Li Chu has never touched before.
It's like a child who just learned multiplication and division yesterday suddenly encounters a world-class math problem.
Fortunately, he didn't need to solve it, he just had to remember the answer.
As long as you follow the inherent path, practice the Zhoutian Heart Method, and then integrate it with the Dao Seal, you can achieve the purpose of change... unlock new skins.
Li Chu read the entire article on magical powers several times and felt that it seemed worth a try, but he did not find any part that could not be implemented.
But Elder Shichen clearly said that we should not act too hastily...
Later, he specifically asked about it, and Elder Shichen said that it was a long process to obtain the recognition of the Dao Seal.
In the Gaoqiao tribe, they all play in the mountains and forests from childhood, and they also train their children to consciously integrate into the mountains and forests, to imitate the breathing of trees... to get close to the trees. Even so, after starting to practice, it will take many years to master the seal.
There are many tribesmen who have already perfectly integrated into the forest, but still cannot be recognized by Daoyin. Forcible control can only bring disaster.
Pretend to be a tree? Acting method? Li Chu walked out of the tree house, crossed the open space, and came to the jungle.
Feel the rhythm of the wood qi around you, the breath of nature, and then try to move that Dao seal...
boom--
The sky and the earth suddenly turned green.
But the Dao Seal seemed lifeless and had no reaction. The green ones were also indifferent to him, no one paid any attention to him, the green "Qi" flowed around him.
Is this the will of the trees on this mountain?
Li Chu frowned slightly.
Tried to inject a little spiritual power into the Dao Seal.
Boom! I don't know if it was because he conveyed a hint of displeasure, or because that trace of spiritual power had a great attraction, the Dao Seal seemed to be ignited, and it jumped up with a bang! The wood energy between heaven and earth also suddenly changed, and all gathered on Li Chu! He suddenly became the center of the endless vortex!
From this point of view, this seal seems to be quite friendly? It is not as cold and aloof as Elder Shichen said, and it takes a lot of hard work to get recognition.
I just revealed a little bit of spiritual power, and its attitude changed drastically, and it even started to lick me...
"Change."
With a clear shout and a flash of light, a tree appeared in the forest.
However, the endless vortex of wood energy continued to pour in, and the tree continued to grow in size, and roots, branches, leaves, and vines quickly grew... More and more vines emerged...
Although he had no eyes at this time, Li Chu could still sense his own form through his divine consciousness. He secretly said, "Not good. If this continues, he might turn into a thick and strong tentacle monster..."
So he activated the Dao Seal again, trying to release the excess wood Qi. In a blink of an eye, the shape of the tree returned to normal.
The feeling of adjusting one's own form at will was really interesting. Li Chu couldn't help but immerse himself in it and became fascinated for a while.
…
The next morning.
Elder Shichen's granddaughter, a little girl with twin ponytails, walked out of the tree house and suddenly called out, "Grandpa, why is there an extra tree in this forest?"
"Silly girl." Elder Shichen said with a smile from inside the door: "There are so many trees in the forest, how can you tell them apart?"
"But..." The little girl scratched her head, "This tree is so handsome, isn't it?"
"Oh, what's so handsome about a tree..." Elder Shichen stepped out of the door and was about to smile at his granddaughter, but his words stopped abruptly.
Soon, he also revealed a strange sigh.
"What a handsome tree!"
Thanks to the leader of "Gentle Eleven Knives".
45-1=44 more to go.
