From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 238 Freedom of Other Transformation
For a novice cultivator, practicing a spell in an environment devoid of spiritual energy might be difficult, but for a Dharma Aspect cultivator, it's child's play.

But this is the [hidden achievement].

Hidden achievements may not be difficult, even excessively easy, but they are usually very strange and contrary to common sense.

Therefore, discovering a hidden achievement often means that a small amount of effort can yield a huge benefit.

You Ming closed his eyes slightly, recalling the contents of "Fleeting Light and Breath" in his mind.
"The breath arrives before the body moves, the body follows the movement; the mind turns and the form moves, the feet are like flowing water, the breath is like the wind and shadow..."

This method is too simple.

You Ming's comprehension has now reached five points, which would make him an absolute genius anywhere.

In his mind, the three Heavenly Script Insect Seals that the entire Dharma Gate had condensed into instantly transformed into strokes.

In an instant, these strokes, like swimming fish, disappeared into every part of his body.

This was originally a movement technique practiced by humans, but You Ming's current level of cultivation is so high that with a thought, he can immediately adapt it into a spell that fish can practice.

His body was filled with spiritual light and his magical power was circulating.

Although there was no spiritual energy supply around him at the moment, the spiritual energy stored in his own body was extremely abundant.

These spiritual energies split into streams, constantly circulating throughout his body.

All that could be seen on his true form was the gentle trembling of scales and the swaying of flesh and bones, as his magical power and physical body formed a certain rhythm.

His tail flicked slightly, as if stirring up water vapor and mist, making him appear quite mystical.

Then, his fish body spun around, his torso like a bow, his dorsal fin like a rudder, and his tail fin like a paddle. His body left a transparent arc in the air, as if he were flying against the current, with streaks of light appearing.

In the blink of an eye, his figure had already reached several feet away.

The spell was so simple that he mastered it after practicing it only once.

The instant the spell succeeded, a voice exploded in his mind:

Hidden achievement unlocked

[You mastered the movement technique "Swift Light and Fleeting Breath" in an environment devoid of spiritual energy.]

[Gained supernatural power: Freedom to transform into other beings]

[Form unrestrained by body, intention unrestrained by spirit, freely changing, roaming freely between heaven and earth]

In the void, a glimmer of light seemed to bloom, transforming into a golden badge, on the back of which flowed wind and clouds.

boom……

An invisible light rose from the scales of the swimming fish, and a phantom appeared behind him.

It was a fish completely different from its original form.

It is as if it were cast in light, its whole body shimmering with brilliant light, and its tail fin transforms into thousands of feather shadows. As it swims gently, countless stars flutter in the air.

Between the spread of its fins, every inch of its body moves between light and shadow.

Like a dream, like an illusion.

Youming raised its tail fin and gently swayed it, and the surrounding void seemed to recede away.

He didn't know where he had gone, but he was probably no longer in the cave.

He didn't care, because he was free and unrestrained now.

Youming seemed to transform into the wind, its scales losing their color, leaving only faint silver light patterns flowing along its body.

His eyes were calm and clear, as if he had entered a state of "no self, no attachment, no form".

At this moment, his scales and fins were no longer organs that propelled his body, but rather seemed like the free-flowing will itself. He traversed the rocky cliffs, skimming close to the ground, and soaring past countless crowds…

But he seemed to exist in two completely different worlds from all of this, seemingly intersecting but actually separated by vast distances.

You Ming's thoughts drifted away.

He just swam, without purpose or obsession.

Along with him, he also released his own divine consciousness.

His divine sense was released so casually that everything around him, even the path of the wind, the trembling of the grass, and the unhatched insect eggs in the crevices of the rocks, were clear in his mind like the moon reflected in water, clear but not attached.

The next moment, You Ming opened his eyes. He was still in the cave, still in the same spot.

But beside him, there was now a peony.

The peonies in Bingzhou are not yet in bloom, but in the distant Yunzhou, located in the south, the peonies are in full bloom.

He is free to transform, without self or boundaries.

"Is this... the freedom to transform into other forms?"

You Ming had an epiphany. The moment he completed this hidden achievement, countless insights into the [Transformation of Others] supernatural power seemed to spring from the void and flood his mind.

The supernatural power that would normally require a long time to comprehend was successfully condensed, saving years of arduous cultivation.

"boom."

His figure flickered and suddenly transformed into a colossal Dharma form a hundred feet tall, with a human upper body and a fish lower body, clad in flowing armor, and eyes containing the faint light of the starry sea, like a sacred creation that fused machine and divinity.

This [Otherworldly Freedom] supernatural power transformed into rays of light, converging towards the back of the Dharma image.

In an instant, a faint light appeared on his back, outlining an invisible ring. The ring rotated silently, with flowing patterns appearing on it.

Its trajectory is unpredictable, its form ever-changing, flowing like water across the back and fins of the Dharma image, giving this sacred, solemn, and dignified image a kind of graceful and lively spirit.

Youming's Dharma form gently swayed its tail, and with a single movement, its form became ethereal, as if it were about to merge into space.

With the slightest thought, he can instantly travel thousands of miles, impossible to lock onto or capture.

Only at this moment did he truly possess a powerful escape technique.

Like the [Butterfly Transformation], it can only be used for dodging. Although it can exempt you from damage, you will reappear in the same place.

Only at this moment, with the [Butterfly Transformation] and [Free Transformation] supernatural powers complementing each other, can he be considered truly difficult to kill. Even if someone's realm is a level higher than his, they may not be able to capture him.

"Unbeknownst to me, I have already condensed three divine abilities."

You Ming's cultivation speed is naturally fast, after all, he only achieved the Dharma Aspect in two years.

"Let me see what achievements I can grind for in the next period of time."

You Ming rubbed his hands together, then opened the [Karma Ranking] again and started flipping through the pages one by one.

He now has a daily achievement he must complete: "Cultivation Maniac." This will take him several years to achieve, so he decided to find some easier achievements to complete in addition to his daily cultivation, so as not to affect his cultivation.

"The initial achievement is to slay evil spirits 100 times, which will grant the achievement of 'Immune to All Evil Spirits,' which increases damage against negative life forms by 5%."

You Ming flipped through it and realized that he was now in charge of developing Yinshan, so this achievement could come in handy.

Just like cultivation, you can keep grinding to the higher levels of the "Exorcising Evil" achievement. After exorcising evil 10,000 times, you can obtain the "Immune to All Evil" achievement.

At that time, not only will one's willpower be enhanced by 25%, but one will also be immune to some mental pollution and increase the damage to negative life forms by 25%.

This is also a remarkable achievement.
