Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1874: Chapter 17: Gathering the Four Rain Stones, Rain Immortal Festival Sacrifice! (Part 2)

"Sir, what about me?" Ji Yuan felt a bit uneasy. It had been nearly ten years since he entered the Blood Demon Cave, and he and Yang Baihe had made very little progress.

Now that Zhao Xing’s Marquis Transformation Method has become so powerful, it’s practically a new method. Can he learn it in a short time? It’s probably very difficult!

The logic of borrowing power from the Sacrificial Spirit Document requires a foundation to support it.

"Don’t panic, it’s not a big problem," Qi Tian said with a smile. "The Ten Thousand Spirits Marquis Transformation Technique of my Four Seasons Palace is not such an inconvenient thing."

Zhao Xing also smiled, "That’s right, now you don’t need to borrow my power anymore, I’ve already mastered the external use of the Marquis Transformation Method."

"Bear with it, don’t resist, it’s going to be a bit painful next."

"Pain? I’ve undergone special training in the Military Department, a little pain is nothing... Roar!!!"

Ji Yuan, who had been talking tough, soon let out a great howl, the Blood Pool churned, and he was rolling in pain.

Pain, it was too painful!

Ji Yuan, at one point, wanted to die!

"Relax, the pain is normal..." Zhao Xing activated the Heart Field Skill "Great Dream Marsh" to gently soothe Ji Yuan’s spirit.

Transforming from one form of life to another, and being a passive transformation, was naturally very painful.

In the Marquis Transformation areas, trillions of beings were transformed, often only an individual could withstand such pain and successfully advance.

The process was no different from undergoing a tribulation; Ji Yuan underestimated such pain.

If he himself knew the Ten Thousand Spirits Marquis Transformation Technique, it naturally wouldn’t hurt so much, but he only knew the "Demon Turtle Transformation," which was still a Priestly simulated transformation, completely incomparable.

"Roar roar roar roar!!!"

Soon, Yang Baihe also began to roar.

This time their painful howls were much more genuine, with no need to pretend.

About three months passed, and their passive Marquis Transformations were complete.

Yang Baihe transformed into a pure white-furred member of the Demon Ape Clan, whereas Ji Yuan remained a half-blood of Demon Ape and Turtle Clan, but his turtle shell had shrunk significantly, becoming more characteristic of the Demon Ape Clan.

"Is it over?" Ji Yuan’s weak voice came through.

"Yes, it’s over, the Marquis Transformation was very successful," Zhao Xing replied.

"Sir, why can’t I see the Sacrificial Spirit Document?"

"If you could see it, then something would really be wrong," Qi Tian explained, "It was Minister of Agriculture Zhao who turned you into a form similar to his life, not a transformation by your own spell."

Zhao Xing also nodded, accepting a teammate’s Marquis Transformation Method indeed required absolute trust.

Because whether Ji Yuan could revert back was entirely up to him!

To undo a knot, one must know how to tie it in the first place. The Marquis Transformation Method is a complex transformation of the Life Dao within, each part, even an inch of flesh, and hair, is a maze of life.

Virtually only the person who transformed him could undo it.

In some obscure Marquis Transformation Methods, Zhao Xing and Ji Yuan could even form a bloodline suppression, akin to a bloodline progenitor developing ’descendants.’

This would create a ’recognize ancestors and return to the fold’ effect, but such a Marquis Transformation Method has already been lost.

"Sir, I don’t feel well now."

"Don’t worry, that’s normal, just take the time to adapt, we don’t have much time."

Zhao Xing sensed his surroundings. At this time, inside the Blood Demon Cave, about eighty to ninety percent of the guards had already left the Blood Pool.

They couldn’t delay too long, or it would arouse suspicion.

"Understood." Ji Yuan began to calm down and adapt to his body’s changes, constantly hypnotizing himself, "I’m a monkey, I’m a monkey..."

Zhao Xing and Qi Tian couldn’t help but laugh.

...

When three thousand guards all emerged from the Blood Demon Cave, eleven years had already passed.

Zhao Xing and the other three came out a bit later, quickly attracting the attention of other guards.

"What a strong presence!"

"Terrifying suppression."

"Who is he? His bloodline has evolved so significantly."

"Hmph, just because his bloodline evolved, doesn’t mean it’s useful, without skills, he’s still a waste."

...

The murmurs grew, with most gazing intently at Zhao Xing and Qi Tian.

The guard captain of Marquis Haiyang, ’Ze,’ also glanced at Zhao Xing and Qi Tian, his gaze finally resting on Zhao Xing, nodding slightly.

Because Zhao Xing had shed his turtle shell by now, his appearance was already indistinguishable from a pure member of the Demon Ape Clan.

Zhao Xing glanced around, the three thousand Blood Demon Guards within his sight, including the mysterious Doctor Yan Lingjun.

[Name: Yan Lingjun]

[Realm: Abnormal]

[Profession: Doctor]

[Remaining lifespan: One hundred and fifty-three years.]

...

At that instant, Yan Lingjun seemed to sense something and slightly lifted his head.

However, Zhao Xing merely gave him a glance, quickly lowering his gaze, without letting their eyes meet.

"Another change has occurred..."

Zhao Xing was filled with uncertainty.

The information displayed on Yan Lingjun’s panel was still scarce, only four lines, and yet it had changed again.

Firstly, his realm surprisingly displayed as ’abnormal’!

On the panel’s observation, the realm section either couldn’t be seen or was accurately displayed.

Abnormal states were extremely rare.

Secondly, Yan Lingjun’s lifespan decreased once more, leaving only a little more than a hundred and fifty years.

"What exactly is going on with this person? After entering the Blood Pool once, he’s lost lifespan, and his realm has turned into an abnormal state?"

Judging by the surface aura and life fluctuations, Yan Lingjun gave Zhao Xing a sense of being neither dead nor alive, as if on the cusp of a breakthrough.

The Life and Death Dao Domain Realm was inherently peculiar, sensing a mystical realm of neither life nor death was quite normal.

"I wonder what his background is, whether he’s an ally or a foe."

Ultimately, Zhao Xing decided not to probe further, merely using the panel to observe.

Perhaps, it was some force’s secret mission; the highest-level confidentiality was probably not his alone.

The Primordial Heavenly Palace, Reincarnation Temple, and Ancient Country Alliance might have enacted some confidential actions; this was possible.
