268 Secret Technique (1/2)
”Long Live the Heizi River God!”
”Please bless us, the compassionate Heizi River God...”
...
Unknowingly, 3 years had passed by in a flash.
At the riverbank of Heizi River, there was a small altar with incense, fruits, flowers, pig's head and goat's head as offerings. After the practice was complete, they would throw it into the river.
After Xu Ren had changed the way of offerings from live offerings to the three basic forms, the Water God surprisingly did not attack humans. Instead, its requests became lesser and lesser, and the villagers felt thankful.
At the same time, the reputation of Xu Ren slowly improved and he was now known for being compassionate.
Under the river, within a spiritual cave in the underwater mountain ridge.
A huge snake appeared to be in hibernation and there were flames floating around it, glittering as the flames flickered, which made the snake looked immortal.
”Hmm?”
Fang Yuan woke up and was astonished. ”Did I just hibernate for an entire year?”
Looking at his own body, he was shocked to find out that he had grown from 3 feet to 6 feet long. His scales were now glistering and he looked menacing:
”Name: Fang Yuan
Race: Black Snake
Essence: 21
Spirit: 21
Magic: 21
Profession: ???
Cultivation: ???
Technique: [Nine Steps of Dragon Transformation Technique (4th Transformation)], [Water Controlling Technique (Grade 3)]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)]”
”With the spiritual energy around and the assistance from the Dragon Pearl, my cultivation has indeed shot up. I believe that it's not long before I will become a python!”
A python was a giant snake!
From the Black Snake Transformation to the Python Transformation, it was not hard.
However, since a python would be huge, there would be differences. For instance, a snake would prefer cold while a python would prefer warm and would be naturally strong. If his transformation would be successful, the limitations of a snake would be removed as well.
”And all of these as well...”
Fang Yuan fidgeted and noticed the small flames surrounding him.
Although he remained quiet in his hibernation, after all, he was the Water God of the underwater mansion. The offerings in Heizi River would go to him.
Furthermore, he did not kill or harm anybody, which earned him gratitude from the villagers. With their sincere offerings, Fang Yuan was humoured.
”Hmm, this colourful glow is from the incense. It is best if I don't touch it!”
Fang Yuan opened his spiritual eye and examined before telling them apart. ”The outermost layer of golden glow is my people Dao karma, which will allow me to reduce the intensity of people tribulations...”
Thinking about it, he opened his mouth and stretched out his tongue.
The colourful glow did not move. Instead, the outer golden glow was pulled towards him by an invisible force and it condensed into a small golden flower which landed in front of him.
”Go!”
As his spiritual will shook, an unknown world was revealed. As a tremor was felt, the flower of people Dao karma was transferred into his actualised dream world.
”It is indeed possible!”
Seeing this, there was excitement in his eyes.
The rules of reality which governed this realm were too strict and different from his own realm, and there was not much energy he could muster from his actualised dream world.
However, the flower of karma was from the heavens and had no physical shape and content. Therefore, it could be transferred into the actualised dream world for him to take away.
”However... I don't know what the flower could be used for in my own world?”
Fang Yuan sighed. ”Based on the rules of reality which governs this realm, with karma comes fortune and good fate. I could just walk out and find a magical weapon lying on the floor, and I can even use it to reduce the intensity of tribulations... However, does the Da Qian world recognise karma from this realm?”
In a thought, he felt that everything did not make sense.
”I should quickly use it up!”
As his spiritual will shook, the golden flower exploded and dissipated within the actualised dream world.
After a golden flash, there seemed to be no changes in the actualised dream world.
”It doesn't seem that useful...”
Fang Yuan was speechless. As he slowly experienced it for himself, he could finally detect it. ”It feels as though my actualised dream world is now more responsive? Also... it seems that it is more connected with this realm. If I use up more people Dao karma, I might be able to use my 8 Gates Sword Array here!”
”Could the effect of the people Dao karma allow me to integrate into this world?”
He made a wild guess in his mind. ”To test if this is true, I will need to obtain more people Dao karma. In this realm, I'm sure I'm able to!”
He waited until nightfall before leaving and arriving at the Black Lake District government office.
”I can sense the official's energy becoming stronger... It feels much more concentrated here!”
Fang Yuan quickly commented before swiftly entering the government office. The fate energy in the government office was too weak to restrict him.
In the study at the back of the government office.
Xu Ren now had a moustache and appeared more mature, He was reading some books late at night and he frowned, as though he was troubled.
”Sir! Your wife has cooked some bird's nest porridge. Please enjoy and rest early!”
Outside, a beautiful servant served the porridge, which filled the room with its fragrance.
