From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 308 The Way of Change
"I'm coming!"

Both Ao Yunhai and the illusory figure were incredibly excited at this moment.

Despite their own ulterior motives, at this moment, they all desperately wanted to obtain the Immortal Sword.

The aura of that immortal sword was too powerful. Even though they were in the earth's veins, they could sense its incomparably sharp edge and its increasingly surging blood energy.

"Such a powerful aura of blood...it's incredible."

If the blood energy within Ao Yunhai's body is likened to a pond, then the blood energy on the immortal sword is like a mountain or a sea, covering the sky and the earth.

"Ready to receive!"

They sensed that the immortal sword had flown above them. The illusory figure gave a soft shout, and Ao Yunhai immediately activated his divine power, turning countless streams of blood energy into runes that guided the immortal sword towards it.

The next moment, the immortal sword flew over them.

???

In order to better guide the immortal sword, Ao Yunhai even transformed into his true form at this moment. His mouth was slightly open, and rich blood energy surged within his body.

However, the sword seemed not to see him at all and flew away directly.
The illusory figure was also stunned. What was going on?

This is not what I expected.

Although the immortal sword refused to cooperate with them, they relentlessly used countless blood essences to refine it, thus corrupting it.

This immortal sword should now only possess primal instincts.

"It's possible that the intelligence of the Sword and Fairy has changed and it's currently out of control. Let's go after it."

After pondering for a while, the illusory figure felt that this was the only possibility.

Just like people sometimes have erratic behavior, this magical artifact can also erratically.

Although Ao Yunhai was frustrated, he had no choice but to accept the outcome.

……

Meanwhile, in another part of the underground volcanic vein, You Ming sat cross-legged beside a magma crevice, his internal energy surging like waves crashing against the shore, constantly washing over his bones, fascia, and skin.

His breathing rose and fell like the tides, and with each breath, the blood in his body seemed to be tempered by divine fire, surging and churning in his meridians, emitting a deep, war-drum-like sound.

Several days ago, his [Blood Sea Great Demon Divine Power] had already reached the minor completion stage. As he continuously devoured several balls of blood energy, his divine power improved even more.

Today, after consuming another large mass of blood energy, he felt a tingling and itchy sensation all over his body, with every inch of his flesh twitching slightly.

This feeling was very strange, yet it also gave him a sense of being captivated.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and his blood and energy surged, as if thousands of cells in his body were trembling spontaneously.

In an instant, his divine body dissipated and transformed back into his original form.

A slender, golden-red carp, its scales as if carved from pure gold, as fine as scattered stars, each reflecting the flowing iridescence of firelight, undulating endlessly like blazing flames and flowing clouds as it sways its body.

A carp with five attractive features is just that beautiful.

However, in the next instant, his body swelled up and became tens of feet long.

You must understand that this is his true form, neither an illusory divine body nor a mixed form of reality and illusion, but his real physical body.

Because he followed the immortal path of breathing exercises, his physical form, though of exceptional talent, was always only a few feet in size.

But at this moment, his body swelled to tens of feet in size, making him comparable to other demon beasts of the same level.

Most importantly, as his thoughts surged, his golden and red fish-like body seemed to be refining itself in a living fire, peeling away and reshaping layer by layer, with the flesh still writhing.

The next moment, his flesh and bones swelled, and his fins on both sides expanded and extended, transforming into a pair of hands. In the blink of an eye, the soft scales on his belly turned into his chest, which was strong and powerful. His originally crimson head gradually became white and delicate, and a handsome face appeared.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a creature that was half human and half carp.

The golden-red divine radiance did not dissipate; instead, with a gentle shake, it transformed into a golden-red robe. The vibrant colors complemented its half-human, half-fish appearance, making it seem like a primordial deity from the ancient ocean.

This is not a transformation, but a real change in the physical body.

Even a demon-revealing mirror couldn't show his true form, because his current appearance is his true form.

You Ming continued to circulate his blood energy. His tail fin swayed slightly, and then his lower body split into two halves. His scales quickly contracted, revealing a pair of human legs.

His robes trembled slightly, covering his body.

"Hahaha, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

"The way of physical transformation lies in the mind; it is truly an unparalleled supernatural power."

You Ming was overjoyed to have transformed into human form.

The reason he was so dedicated to cultivating himself was that he didn't want to be a fish forever; he wanted to one day shed his fish form and become human again.

Although he was only able to transform into human form this time because of his supernatural powers, he was still extremely happy.

Moreover, this is a true physical transformation supernatural power, a top-notch means of avoiding disasters and calamities.

His next stage is the [Tribulation] stage, where he will be constantly besieged by tribulations. However, the transformation of the physical body into supernatural powers is the best method in the immortal path to ward off disasters and overcome calamities. When one cultivates to a high level, one can even adjust the degree of compatibility between oneself and the laws of heaven to resolve crises.

He originally intended to use the [Divine Arts Workshop] to customize a transformation ability for himself in the future, just like Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations.

Unexpectedly, the [Blood Sea Demonic Power] helped me complete the mission ahead of schedule.

You Mingxin was very excited to have acquired such a good method. In the blink of an eye, his human form changed again.

With just a thought, his finger bones extended and lengthened on their own, transforming into sharp claws.

With another thought, his arms grew as thick as an ape's, his bones cracked, and his strength increased dramatically.

Going a step further, he harmonized his blood and qi to the extreme, his bones contracted and his muscles moved, and in just a few breaths he transformed into a tall and burly figure, his muscles as if cast in iron and gold, like a statue of a demon god.

With things changing to this extent, another thought arose in You Ming's mind.

His flesh and blood writhed continuously, and countless gray-white hairs grew on the surface of his body. His bones also seemed to be adjusting in various ways.

For a fleeting moment, he looked like a white ape.

But the next moment, all his hair was retracted, and his body was restored to human form. The next moment, his body trembled, and he could no longer maintain his human form, turning back into a carp.

The golden-red robe fell to the ground, and the next moment, divine light rose and landed on the fish's body.

"It's still too much of a stretch. It seems that if I want to become another kind of life form, I need to understand these life forms well enough."

He tried to transform into a white ape, but the transformation failed.

That's normal. If you want to become a certain kind of life form, you must have a sufficient understanding of its internal and external structure.

Despite this, he was very happy. He believed that as long as he observed more, one day he could transform into all life forms in the world.

As You Ming withdrew his cultivation and prepared to head to the next blood energy point, he suddenly raised his head.

"Huh? Why is there such a strong aura of blood in the sky?"
