To become the owner of the Bai Ze Scroll...?
The girl sitting beside me was so radiant and beautiful. A simple white lady's dress covered her body, making her look like a fairy descended to earth. Her cold and flawless face was so perfect, as serene as the moon and as bright as the moon.
The girl didn't sit next to Chen Jing in the usual way. Instead, she hugged her legs and curled up in the chair. Despite her natural ethereal aura, she looked like a weak little girl.
Considering her various amazing abilities—bringing historical records to life, allowing her to see the histories of others—and her vast knowledge and secrets...
"What are you daydreaming about?" Bai Yueyi turned her head to look at Chen Jing: "Did you understand everything I said?"
"I'm sorry," Chen Jing said apologetically, "Could you say it again? It's too complicated."
"First, use illusion magic to create a faceless person, and then I'll guide you through the character creation process," Bai Yueyi said. "Once the appearance is replicated, we'll figure out how to make the character's temperament meet the requirements."
Chen Jing said "Oh," raised his hand, and created and manipulated light as if playing an invisible piano.
Soon, a black humanoid figure without a face or any details was created.
Its prototype is the appearance of a black suspect in some mystery anime that Chen Jing watched before he transmigrated.
"Why is it black..." Bai Yueyi complained softly, "Never mind, let's begin, first is height..."
Gradually, under Bai Yueyi's guidance, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, whose appearance was as if sculpted by an axe and a knife, with distinct features, gradually appeared in Chen Jing's light illusion.
He was dressed in the uniform of the former Song army, with a straight sword at his waist, a halberd in his hand, and a bright red cloak, looking like a god descending to earth.
"...The appearance is mostly fine. There are quite a few problems with the details." Bai Yueyi shook her head as she looked at the illusion created by Chen Jing.
Chen Jing was initially quite satisfied with the illusion he had created, but upon hearing this assessment, he asked in confusion:
"How so?"
“Charm. Charm is very important.” Bai Yueyi waved her hand to emphasize, “And to show charm, the key is in the details.”
"What we want to record is the god-slayer who defied the gods and killed three gods in the Battle of the Silver Flag, not a god who descended to the mortal world and looked down on all others." Bai Yueyi raised her fair finger and pointed to many details: "...He should be among the crowd, not aloof. He should be full of indomitable spirit and fighting will. His eyes should be full of killing intent. He should lock his killing intent on those high and mighty, invincible gods and announce to the entire battlefield that he will assassinate them."
Gradually, the illusion created by Chen Jing became softer, its outline no longer so sharp and aggressive, and it gained a more scholarly and simple temperament.
But he tilted his head slightly, as if gazing at the starry sky.
In those eyes burned an indomitable fighting spirit.
"Very good, very close." Bai Yueyi nodded in satisfaction: "You should rest for a while. The spiritual power in the Blood Realm is limited, so you need to maintain a good condition."
"Hmm." Chen Jing raised his hand and dispelled the illusion. He leaned back in his chair, not feeling tired at all, but rather excited. Bai Yueyi had explained many technical details about how to create illusions, which had benefited him greatly.
Throughout the entire process, he subconsciously did not think about the "knowledge" given to him by the source of darkness.
The goal of that divine ritual was to intercept the third stage of the blood sacrifice, just as the White Moon Ritual was about to be controlled. Because the presiding officer of the blood sacrifice needed to consider the location of Ash City and other venues, he could not hold the ceremony close to the White Moon Ritual. Therefore, when the blood sacrifice power reached the White Moon Ritual, there was a transmission process. The essence of the divine ritual was to use the White Moon Ritual's inherent power and the power that arrived there to ingeniously steal the day and night.
While Chen Jing was resting, Bai Yueyi was also resting. She hugged her knees and curled up even tighter.
Chen Jing looked at the girl beside him: "Do you also understand the Qi of Dao? Like you understand the Qi of War?"
"I don't know that much about it." Bai Yueyi shook her head. "I can tell you some of what I know."
“The abilities of the Dao Qi and Blood Realm are mainly three,” Bai Yueyi said: “They are ‘Speech Status Control,’ ‘Infiltrating the World’s Shadows,’ and ‘Optical Illusion.’”
"The so-called speaking state is the state a person is in when speaking. Some people just tell lies, and those around them can tell that they are not honest. Others, even if they deceive others, will be considered to be sincere in their words. The difference between these two is the speaking state. Diving into the shadows of the world is easy to understand, right? It's something you use often. After using it, you lose interaction with the entire world and leave no trace. You also used the final optical illusion."
"However, not everyone in the Dao Qi and Blood Realm has illusionary abilities. Some can only awaken them when they reach the Dan Realm, while others have illusionary abilities even when they reach the Body Realm."
Chen Jing said, "I don't know that's called infiltrating the shadows of the world. I've always called it 'noise stealth.' Why is it called infiltrating the shadows of the world?"
Bai Yueyi shook her head: "I don't know either. Someone told me this name. In principle, this ability makes cultivators become something that can be ignored. They can see and hear things, but their consciousness will consider them as unimportant information, like a blade of grass on the lawn or a pebble on the roadside, thus achieving an invisible effect in their minds. This is also why those in the Mingjing realm can see through things, because the consciousness of Mingjing cultivators is strong enough to handle all background noise."
“When one’s Dao Qi reaches the Dan Realm, they can call themselves Illusionists. They possess a considerable number of complex illusionary abilities, creating illusions that can mimic sounds, smells, touches, and temperatures. Due to the enhancement of the spirit common to those at the Dan Realm, their ability to process and construct illusions is also greatly enhanced. In addition to illusionary spells, Illusionists can also begin to cast some strange and bizarre spells,” Bai Yueyi said. “For example, ‘stealing’ the enemy’s body shape, making a strong enemy thin while making oneself stronger. Another example is gaining bursts of movement speed for a short period of time to dodge attacks. There are also spells that weaken the strength and speed of others, spells that hypnotize others, spells that thicken and harden the skin to resist attacks, and so on. In short, there are many acrobatic techniques, but not every Illusionist has so many spells. Many exist in the form of spiritual energy, and Illusionists need to learn the corresponding knowledge after birth to cast them.”
“Most importantly, as far as I know, the Dao Qi of the Dan Realm will also increase your artistic talent, making you much more perceptive when creating illusions.” Bai Yueyi said, “I’m not mocking you for lacking artistic comprehension. In fact, for your age, you are quite talented. This isn’t just to comfort you.”
Chen Jing: "..."
“As for the Qi Realm, cultivators of the Dao Qi have been given a new name: the Hundred Transformers.” Bai Yueyi raised her slender right index finger and tapped it lightly in the void.
