Chapter 38 Condensation of Incarnation

"Drink! Condensate for me!"

Xiao Yan's face was solemn and he was highly focused. Drops of sweat dripped down his cheeks. The seals on his hands kept changing. The power of his soul spread out and condensed in front of him. A human-shaped shadow that looked exactly like Xiao Yan gradually formed.

Xiao Yan saw the right opportunity, his mind moved, and the seals in his hands changed rapidly.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, in the end, the soul phantom exploded with a bang and broke into countless tiny points of light, gradually disappearing into the void.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, but the expression on his face was extremely calm. He no longer had the impatience on his face as if he had known that he would fail. He looked very dull.

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, then changed the seals in his hands again. He condensed his soul power once again, and changed the seals repeatedly with an expressionless face. The speed of his hands was getting faster and faster.

Failures continued, but Xiao Yan's expression did not change. He remained expressionless and calm. The seals in his hands changed, and the shadows in front of him exploded again and again.

During this mindless practice, Xiao Yan seemed to have entered another dimension. Opposite him, there was a person who looked exactly like him.

The seals on Xiao Yan's hands and that person's hands kept changing. The seals on their hands were exactly the same. After a careful inspection, it was found that the seals were actually the Nine Transformations Art.

The seals in the hands of the two men changed at the same time, but Xiao Yan was always a beat slower than that man. Xiao Yan's fingers moved at an extremely fast speed, and waves of energy spread out from the moment their fingers touched, forming a dazzling water-like ripple in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's face was calm, his eyes looking straight ahead. At a glance, he saw that the man opposite Xiao Yan was also looking at him. As their eyes met, the speed of changing the seals in Xiao Yan's hands involuntarily increased. In just a moment, he had matched the rhythm of the seals in the hands of the man opposite him and reached the same rhythm.

And just as the rhythm of the seals in Xiao Yan's hands was in sync with that man, Xiao Yan, who had been calm and unperturbed until now, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes.

A bright light flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly opened wide. He spread his right leg and suddenly took another half step to the right, while the seals in his hands changed rapidly.

A moment later, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he opened his mouth and shouted:

"Congeal!"

As soon as the word "condense" was uttered, the soul power surrounding Xiao Yan Shenzhou quickly dispersed. The figure in front of Xiao Yan had already disappeared, and instead, there was a soul phantom condensed by soul power.

Just as the soul shadow was condensed, Xiao Yan, who seemed to be doing horse stance, suddenly took a step forward. At the same time, he formed a seal in his hand, slapped out with one palm, and shouted:

"point!"

The soul phantom suddenly dispersed, but unlike before, this time the soul phantom did not disappear between the sky and the earth. Instead, it turned into a ball of white mist, and then dispersed and differentiated into nine white mist balls of the same size.

Xiao Yan's mind moved, and nine fog balls floated in front of Xiao Yan. Then, in Xiao Yan's gaze with a hint of surprise, nine figures that looked exactly like Xiao Yan condensed into nine.

The nine figures were extremely illusory. If one did not look carefully, one would probably ignore them. Xiao Yan smiled slightly and let out a long breath.

Although the nine incarnations are not very solid, at least, I have now completed the most difficult first step. As long as I complete this step, it will only be a matter of time before I can practice the Nine Transformations to the peak.

Xiao Yan's mind moved, and the nine incarnations dissipated invisibly and returned to Xiao Yan's body. The reason why the previous incarnations made a sound when they disappeared was entirely because of the explosion phenomenon that Xiao Yan did not have full control over. Compared with the current incarnations that could be controlled freely, that one was purely accidental.

"Hey! Boy, that's great. You're lucky to be able to enter the ethereal realm at that time today."

Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically when he heard this, but after a moment, he spoke with a slightly depressed look on his face:

"Gu Lao, you didn't speak for such a long time that I thought you were in a deep sleep. But when you suddenly spoke, it was really life-threatening! I finally entered a spiritual state, but when I woke up, I was scared to death by you."

"Hehe! You've lived for so many years and have seen a lot of life and death. How can you be scared to death so easily? Besides, even if you really encounter any danger, I won't help you fight, but can't I help you warn?"

Xiao Yan nodded when he heard this. Just as he was about to answer, Gu You spoke again:

"Actually, I can't either."

The air Xiao Yan had just inhaled was sprayed out at once. He coughed a few times before speaking again with an unpleasant expression:

"Can't you even help sense the danger?"

"Of course you can. Once the inheritor is chosen, he or she will have five chances to ask the Strange Fire Spirit for help. However, you have already used them up."

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It was used up. When did it happen? Why didn't he remember it? Xiao Yan was still trying to recall it, but Gu You spoke again:

"Don't think about it! You used it last time when you asked me to help you check if there was anyone around in the Ancient Forest."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, his mouth slightly opened, and then he bit his lips lightly with his teeth in disbelief, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.

After a while, Xiao Yan frowned and asked again:

"That's not right. Didn't you say there were five chances? But I only asked once. What about the remaining four?"

Gu You smiled slightly upon hearing this and said:

"I forgot to tell you, we five old guys will each take one shot, hahaha..."

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard that. The hope in his heart was shattered again. He let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky above his head. It was getting dark. He hadn't eaten for a day, so it was time to cook.

With his eyes slightly closed, the power of his soul spread out. After a few breaths, Xiao Yan opened his eyes. In front of him, he saw a rabbit curled up all over. Xiao Yan picked it up in his hand and took a look at the pitiful-looking rabbit.

"If you want to survive, you still have to rely on yourself!"

"Haha! This world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't fight for your own strength, you will get nothing. You can only be bullied by others. If you want to survive, you have to kill others. This is the rule of the continent and the principle of the strong!"

Gu You sighed slightly and said with emotion.

Time flies, and now, it has been two months since Xiao Yan came to this world.

The night sky is dotted with stars, making the entire sky look like a painting.

In the ancient forest, a bonfire released a faint flame. The firelight spread out, and the forest within a hundred meters was covered with a thin layer of red gauze.

Beside the campfire, a young man in white clothes sat cross-legged.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes tightly, and between his brows, the half red and half white lotus-shaped fire seal emitted a faint light.

This silence only lasted for half a while. Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly opened and a fierce aura burst out from his eyes, causing the leaves within several feet around Xiao Yan to move without wind.

The seals in Xiao Yan's hands changed, and the power of the soul surged out from between his eyebrows, slowly surrounding his body and condensing.

A moment later, around Xiao Yan's body, nine figures that were identical to Xiao Yan sat cross-legged. The nine incarnations now were very different from the beginning. In the cyclones inside the nine incarnations' bodies and on their surfaces, there was a layer of faint, invisible flame that was constantly tempering the nine incarnations. That flame was none other than the strange fire that was most effective on soul power, the Fallen Heart Flame.

Xiao Yan's soul power surged out, constantly changing above Xiao Yan's head. Finally, it formed several invisible spheres the size of basketballs, floating in the sky above Xiao Yan's head.

Xiao Yan's mind moved, and one Heavy Soul Pearl after another smashed towards the nine incarnations. Although he had now refined nine incarnations, these nine incarnations were still too fragile and had to be solidified using some tempering methods.

The most crucial thing is that Xiao Yan has no attribute spirit stones on him now, so he cannot engrave the exercises and let the incarnation practice on its own. As for this set of Nine Transformations Incarnation Technique, if he cannot practice it independently, it will be no different from a soul puppet. Therefore, Xiao Yan can only condense the incarnation during this period of time.

As time passed, the bonfire that illuminated the forest died down, the stars in the sky disappeared, the earth regained its light, and a new day came upon the continent again.

Xiao Yan slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and glanced at the shadows of the trees on the ground in the distance. He stood up, and the nine incarnations surrounding him disappeared. Xiao Yan's figure flashed, and only an extinguished bonfire was left in the forest.
