Chapter 37 Practicing the Nine Transformations

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and spread out the scroll in his hand. What came into view were the five bright silver characters of "Nine Transformations".

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and all the power of his soul poured out and turned into the scroll. However, Xiao Yan, the owner, had no idea what was happening in the courtyard outside his house.

"Buzz!"

A soul-stirring buzzing sound exploded deep in Xiao Yan's soul. Xiao Yan frowned slightly, then gathered the power of his soul and snorted coldly.

After the voice, Xiao Yan's body, condensed by the power of his soul, appeared in a vast expanse of white, empty space.

The entire space looked very large and vast. Not far from Xiao Yan, he saw an arc that seemed to be extremely inconsistent with the space, but completely integrated into it.

Yes, it was an arc that was not smooth, without any regularity or trace. It looked like a fold in the entire space, but this fold seemed to have no end.

This made Xiao Yan's face look solemn. All the power of his soul was gathered together and probed towards the huge "fold".

Xiao Yan's soul power gradually extended along the lines of the wrinkles, but in the end, he was powerless to retract it.

Xiao Yan's face was solemn. He once again looked at the vast white world, his mind was full of thoughts. After a long while without any results, Xiao Yan could not help but curse in his heart:

"Damn it! What kind of fighting skill is this! When Yuan Qing gave it to me, he didn't even tell me how to practice it. How am I supposed to find a way to practice in such a large space?"

Xiao Yan frowned, a hint of impatience appeared on his face, and he kept cursing in a low voice. But just when Xiao Yan couldn't help but want to roar, his eyes lit up slightly, and the look he looked at the entire space also changed.

Xiao Yan calmed his mind, closed his eyes slightly, and spread out all his soul power, spreading throughout the entire space.

After a while, Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked up. It was still a vast expanse of white nothingness, but Xiao Yan seemed to have seen something and laughed happily.

"I see. No wonder I couldn't think of the method to practice the Nine Transformations. My heart is too small! This seemingly empty space is the method of practice I'm looking for! Haha, I've learned a lot."

Xiao Yan let out a low sigh and his body shook. His normal-sized body rapidly expanded. In just a few breaths, judging from his previous position and the size of his body, Xiao Yan's body was already several hundred feet tall.

However, Xiao Yan was still growing bigger. Judging from the look in Xiao Yan's eyes, it seemed that he had not reached the end yet.

After a moment, Xiao Yan's ever-expanding body finally stopped slowly. Xiao Yan looked at the things in front of him, smiled slightly, and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In the vast white space, ten figures stood separately. Among them, nine figures were exactly the same, standing in their respective positions, with dull expressions, empty eyes, and arms hanging naturally, like nine puppets.

Xiao Yan showed a happy smile on his face when he saw this. Yes, these nine figures were exactly the nine incarnations of the Nine Transformations of the Incarnation Art. The nine incarnations were the entry level of the Nine Transformations of the Incarnation Art. As long as Xiao Yan could cultivate the nine incarnations, then Xiao Yan would have truly begun to practice the Nine Transformations of the Incarnation Art.

It's a pity that although he possesses two incarnation skills, he only knows one of the two fighting skills. Moreover, in Xiao Yan's opinion, the difficulty of the Nine Transformations Art is probably not low. At least, judging from the fact that Yuan Qing has been immersed in the Nine Transformations Art for many years, but has only achieved a small success so far, if he wants to practice the Nine Transformations Art to perfection, it will take a lot of time.

But there was nothing he could do. Ever since the incident with the old Flame Demon, Xiao Yan always felt that the road ahead would not be smooth. If he only relied on the Three Thousand Thunders, it would be difficult to escape.

"Strength still comes first!"

Xiao Yan frowned deeply, sighing with a hint of worry in his eyes, but then his eyes turned and he instantly became firm, muttering to himself:

"It seems that the most urgent thing now is to go to the Northern Territory and meet Hai Lao! Only in this way can I have enough strength to protect myself!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze and looked at the Nine Transformations Art in his hand, concentrating on practicing it.

There is no time in cultivation. Until today, it has been five days since Xiao Yan started his closed-door cultivation. The elders in the courtyard outside the door also knelt obediently in the courtyard for five days during Xiao Yan's retreat.

Although they had been kneeling for five days, the elders did not dare to complain at all. After all, they had been kneeling here for five days, which meant that Xiao Yan was only punishing them and would not kill them directly.

In this case, how could they not seize the opportunity? After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and life is the most important thing. Therefore, as long as Xiao Yan does not kill them, they will just kneel. Anyway, they have been seen by the whole clan, so it doesn't matter anymore.

"Crunch~"

The elders quickly knelt down, and more than ten pairs of eyes stared at the wooden door that Xiao Yan was slowly opening.

Xiao Yan strode out of the door, and just as he let out a long breath, he became dazed again in an instant. He blinked a few times, his eyebrows raised, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes wide open, staring at the Liu family elders kneeling in the courtyard.

After a long while, in front of the elders' surprised gazes, he raised his big hand and helped the elders up. The elders stood up and nodded slightly with respect, not daring to meet Xiao Yan's eyes.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, his eyes rolling around. After a few breaths, he seemed to understand something in his heart, and his eyes became dull, but in the depths of his eyes, some mockery could still be seen.

Xiao Yan said calmly:

"Everyone, get out! I'm going out to practice for a while, everyone, leave!"

Upon hearing this, the elders all looked lucky and bowed to Xiao Yan before leaving the courtyard. However, a few of the weaker ones walked away because they did not dare to use their Dou Qi as they had been kneeling for five days. Although they were Dou Huang masters, they still could not bear the pain and so had difficulty walking.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and flicked his sleeves, and several streaks of light shot out. The elders' faces suddenly changed when they saw this, and they were about to try their best to withdraw, but their pupils suddenly froze and they stood still.

The elders spread their hands, and a jade bottle lay horizontally in their palms. Seeing this, the elders' faces instantly turned happy, and they looked at Xiao Yan with eyes full of respect, and then they spoke in unison:

"Thank you for the elixir, I am grateful!"

Xiaoyan nodded and said no more. After they all left, he closed the door, disappeared in Qingyang City in a flash.

A few days later, outside Qingyang City, in the ancient forest.

"Bang!"

A shadow that looked like an afterimage, but was more solid than an afterimage, gradually dissipated from the air, turned into nothingness, and disappeared.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and the beads of sweat on his forehead gathered into drops of sweat, dripping down his eyebrows, and then fell to the ground, leaving a shallow watermark that disappeared into the soil.

Xiao Yan took a few deep breaths and changed the seals in his hands, which seemed to be very skillful. As the seals changed, waves of space spread out and formed circles of ripples like water waves.

Xiao Yan's face was solemn, his soul power was extremely concentrated, his attention was highly focused, and the seals in his hands changed rapidly. Suddenly, Xiao Yan shouted:

"Congeal!"

All of Xiao Yan's soul power quickly gathered in front of him, and a faint human-shaped shadow gradually emerged. The rapidly changing seals in Xiao Yan's hands suddenly stopped, and he shouted again:

"Transformation! Divide!"

"Bang!"

The phantoms dispersed again and finally returned to nothingness. Xiao Yan frowned deeply. The most difficult part of practicing this Nine Transformations Art was the condensation of the first nine incarnations.

Originally, Xiao Yan thought that since he had practiced the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies as a foundation, it would not be difficult to achieve this first step. However, who knew that the first step of the Nine Transformations Body Art was many times more difficult than the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies.

The most basic part of the Three Thousand Thunder Phantom Bodies is to use powerful soul power to condense a soul phantom body. As long as it can exist between this world, with one's own control, and continuous tempering in the future to solidify it and replenish strength, it will be practiced to perfection sooner or later.

But the Nine Transformations of Reincarnation Technique is completely different. Although the Nine Transformations of Reincarnation Technique also requires the condensation of a soul phantom body, it has one point that the Three Thousand Thunder Phantom Bodies do not have. The Nine Transformations of Reincarnation Technique requires that the first soul phantom body be differentiated at the moment of condensation, and all nine incarnations be differentiated out within that moment.

Only in this way can it be considered that he has officially started practicing the Nine Transformations Incarnation Technique. It is precisely this point that makes Xiao Yan quite helpless.
