From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 477 Transformation
“This You Ming is able to be ranked alongside us, so he is certainly not such a stupid and incompetent person.”

Qi Tianjie strongly agreed with Lin Yunxiao's words.

Although they all harbored hostility towards You Ming, as they clashed with him more and more, they had to admit that You Ming did indeed possess extraordinary qualities.

Even though the Sage only mentions the Twelve Sons of the Sage, for the Twelve Sons, Yu Ming has long been considered an equal to them.

Occasionally, people will mention things like the Thirteen Immortals.

"However, in any case, I am determined to fight them well this time."

"I, Qi Tianjie, have never suffered such a great loss before."

Qi Tianjie's face showed a hint of frustration. The two of them had come down to the mortal realm only after hearing that You Ming wanted to get involved in the struggle between the Water Lords of Bibo Lake, so they sought out the Silver Mermaid to help.

Otherwise, given the strength and background of those merfolk, how could they possibly have persuaded them?

"Fellow Daoist You Ming, please step forward for a chat."

Qi Tianjie extended a divine sense forward slightly, and after touching the formation of Yuanling Mountain, he withdrew it immediately.

Although he came to challenge You Ming, he didn't want to appear too domineering.

Not long after he released his divine sense, the clouds and mist on Yuanling Mountain in front of him suddenly split open, and a tall, imposing man slowly walked out.

Just by standing there, it was as if an invisible thunderous force was exploding around him.

When the two men saw the burly man, their expressions changed slightly.

“A cultivator in the upper three realms… seems to be a rare ghost cultivator, but why is the power on his body so dignified and upright?”

Although there are immortals everywhere in Taiyi Heavenly Palace, it doesn't mean they can look down on cultivators in the upper three realms.

After all, they are just geniuses, and their future is still a matter for the future. Before their talents are realized, we should still maintain at least some respect for the strong.

"The mountain lord is busy and cannot receive guests today, so he asked me to invite you two to have a cup of tea in the Dharma Realm."

The burly man looked at the two of them and said bluntly.

This burly man was none other than Li Lie.

He was originally a god of the Thunder Department, but because of his poor performance in the [Volcano Hell], he was stripped of his divine position and banished to the mortal world.

However, the strength they gained through cultivation still remains.

When is your mountain lord available?

Qi Tianjie frowned slightly. They had come all this way, yet You Ming was still making excuses.

Is it fear, or disdain for us?

"That's hard to say. We just do odd jobs for the mountain lord. He won't tell us when he'll be free."

Li Lie grinned, showing off his big teeth, looking like a tough nut to crack.

"Please lead the way, Your Excellency. We can wait in the Dharma Realm for a while."

Lin Yunxiao, being more composed, cupped his hands in greeting and followed behind Li Lie.

The two quickly entered the [Yin City Dharma Realm] and waited in a side hall.

……

You Ming didn't deliberately avoid the two of them; he genuinely didn't have time.

He's also busy subduing the entire Black Armor Frog clan.

You Ming stood on a high point of Qinglu Mountain, with Hei Fu's divine body manifested beside him and his chief steward Wu Mo.

Unseen by the two, an invisible book, "The Book of Animal Husbandry," was turning its pages rapidly.

But with each stroke, the image of a Black-Armored Frog would appear on the book. However, You Ming didn't include all the Black-Armored Frogs in the "Book of Animal Husbandry," as that would be too wasteful.

He simply branded the Black Frog and some of the more powerful or senior members of the Frog Clan onto it.

Otherwise, if more and more tribes come to him for refuge, he can't possibly include them all in the "Book of Animal Husbandry."

Since Kurofuku was sincerely surrendering, Youming didn't need to knock him unconscious; he could just form a contract with him directly.

You Ming spent about half an hour contracting all the Xuanjia Frogs that met his requirements into the "Book of Animal Husbandry".

At the same time, he secretly manipulated the compass and activated the cheat code for [Innate Bloodline]. In an instant, an interface appeared before his eyes.

Name: Black-armored Frog
Bloodline number: Ren Gui Yi San Qi Jiu
Hidden Bloodline: Golden Floating Toad (Reclusive)
Current status: Unawakened

Rarity rating: Precious

These Xuanjia frogs all originate from the Golden Floating Toad.

In an instant, You Ming reached out and pointed, and a talisman slowly lit up.

As the talisman unfolded, a golden halo appeared in the void, like an inverted mirror of the sky, illuminating the entire mountain and marshland.

As the light shone on them, some of the black-armored frogs felt as if their bodies were burning inside, which made them very thirsty and uncomfortable.

However, the ancient bloodline aura was soon awakened within them.

The originally dark green armor began to show golden patterns, as if water was flowing in gold and stone.

As spiritual energy gathered, the frog race's skin became translucent and resilient, their internal spiritual veins were reshaped, and the power of their heartbeats could even vibrate the spiritual spring.

One after another, the black-armored frogs emitted low, drumming sounds, making the whole world seem lively.

"Crack."

"Quack."

The bloodline concentration in Hei Fu's body should be among the highest of all the Xuanjia Frogs, which is why his transformation speed is also the fastest.

Its chest and abdomen rose and fell continuously, and it made a low and sharp sound from its mouth.

Finally, seemingly having broken through some kind of bottleneck, Hei Fu let out an extremely loud croak, and a golden light shot into the sky from his body.

The entire earth resonated, and the nearby ley lines seemed to tremble violently.

Not far away, the spring water churned, and the golden light reflected in the water rippled, even dyeing the water itself a pale gold color.

Its body swelled to over ten feet tall, its carapace cracked and regenerated, and golden patterns swirled around it like shooting stars.

Its eyes transformed into golden pupils, and the spiritual glands beneath its abdomen emitted a pale golden membrane. With a single cry, the air was torn apart, and the water vapor swirled back into a vortex.

Then, as if they had received some kind of signal, the other black-armored frogs began to croak one after another, their calls echoing through the mountains and soaring into the sky.

The mist rolled and the frogs croaked in unison. The entire Qinglu Mountain seemed to be enveloped in layers of golden light, making it look exceptionally magical.

"The blood of the Golden Floating Toad can control the energy of metal and water, making it much stronger in combat than other spirit beasts of the same level."

"If we were to draw upon them to supplement the Divine Army, that would be a good option."

You Ming looked at the black-armored frogs and nodded to himself.

As the leading group of Xuanjia frogs molted, the other Xuanjia frogs that had not formed a contract with Youming also began to change.

The cheat code for "innate bloodline" is that as long as your bloodline breaks through, the bloodline of your descendants will naturally also break through.

Just like Zhou Dacheng back then, several of his descendants were born with the [Spiritual Body of Plants and Trees].

These are all talents for cultivation. Now, his descendants are all cultivating in various immortal sects.
