Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 508 - 329: Dragon Abyss Divine Martial Hall

Chapter 508: Chapter 329: Dragon Abyss Divine Martial Hall

Chen Ku looked at the probability given on the Transformation Diagram.

He was slightly startled.

[Start this Shape Refinement?]

Chen Ku immediately shook his head.

The Flood Dragon Transformation of the Eighth Realm, for him at the moment, does not significantly enhance his strength. After killing the Eighth Realm Dragon Fish, he almost confirmed that combining all his combat power, he has entered the level of ’Six Great Limits,’ capable of fighting across six realms.

That is the level of five times Marrow Cleansing in the Eighth Realm.

And five times Marrow Cleansing is the peak period of Eighth Realm Marrow Cleansing.

That Eight-tailed Dragon Fish can be confirmed as a demon at the peak of the Eighth Realm. Chen Ku’s ability to suppress it already indicates Chen Ku’s current combat power.

However, although Chen Ku could suppress the Eight-tailed Dragon Fish, he didn’t feel he could easily sweep through all the Eighth Realm demons, as in this world, humans are the most terrifying creatures.

Demons appear strong but are essentially at the low end of the food chain; they neither forge weapons nor refine magical treasures.

Just now, in the confrontation between the Eight-tailed Dragon Fish and Chen Ku, Chen Ku’s armor remained intact, while the fish was torn apart by the Gang Wind, leaving it wounded.

Moreover.

Since the concept of breaking limits exists in this world, it is certain that fighting against enemies by breaking the Six Limit is not only doable by Chen Ku alone.

Although Qiu Dragon Mansion does not have one, You State definitely does, and among the thirteen billion people in Dragon Abyss Province, there are individuals who can achieve this, maybe even break limits more, reaching Seven Limits, Eight Limits, or even Nine Limits?

That might be the true invincible talent.

Withdrawing these thoughts.

Chen Ku’s gaze fell upon the ’Azure Dragon Transformation’ which only had a two percent probability, murmuring to himself:

"So the next dragon lineage transformation step for the Flood Dragon is to become an Azure Dragon? Azure Dragon, Eastern Master of Wood... Previously, the Hui Dragon was Master of Earth, providing Earth Escape, Flood Dragon belongs to water, creating waves, if calculated this way..."

However, what he actually desired most was the enhancement to his root bone and qualifications brought by the Dragon Transformation.

Having cultivated until now, he understood that some innate attributes are achievements others cannot reach no matter how hard they try in a lifetime, most apparent in cultivation, they are root bone, physique, and qualifications.

In terms of physique, he can currently train the Huntian Overlord Body and ultimately achieve the Tyrant Body physique.

Only root bone and qualifications must rely on Dragon Transformation for enhancement.

Especially in the qualification area.

The Flood Dragon Talented grants ’Superior Talent,’ super-grade comprehension, allowing him to train those ultimate skills as easily as calculating one plus one equals two, if he could advance further...

Surpassing Superior Talent would undoubtedly be his greatest help on the cultivation path.

Additionally, when cultivating the incantation of the Evil Summoning Banner, higher levels require greater qualifications for comprehension.

"Azure Dragon Transformation likely needs continued addition of several high-realm Totem Divine Beast offspring transformations to increase the Shape Refinement success rate."

Chen Ku focused on the Evil Summoning Banner:

"This depends on the Evil Summoning Banner."

Upon reaching the Seventh Realm.

He has already fulfilled all conditions for cultivating the seventh layer incantation of the Evil Summoning Banner.

[Diagram Master has fulfilled conditions for cultivating the seventh layer incantation of the Evil Summoning Banner, cultivate?]

[Seventh Layer Incantation Cultivation Conditions: Seven Realm cultivation, super-grade qualifications, ten Seven Realm Evil Qi]

Cultivation, qualifications, seven realm Evil Qi, nothing is lacking.

"Cultivate."

Instantly, a long stream of tadpole-like green runes descended into Chen Ku’s mind, leading him into a special state of comprehension.

Two hours later.

Chen Ku opened his eyes, having memorized the seventh layer incantation, fully cultivated it.

Immediately, reciting the incantation and utilizing his Divine Sense, the seventh space of the Evil Summoning Banner opened for him.

[Diagram Master has successfully mastered the incantations for controlling the first seven layers of prohibitions of the Evil Summoning Banner, only needs to find a place, introduce the Evil Summoning Banner to the void, and shake the banner to summon randomly all demons within a thousand two hundred miles including those up to the Seventh Realm, imprisoning them in the Evil Summoning Banner]

(Note: With current prohibitions, the banner can hold fifty Seven Realm demons, one hundred Six Realm demons, five hundred demons of Four Realm, eight hundred Three Realm demons, one thousand Two Realm demons, two thousand One Realm demons)

Chen Ku felt the changes with the Evil Summoning Banner’s upgrade.

"The summoning range of the Evil Summoning Banner has expanded twofold; previously it was six hundred miles, now it’s a thousand two hundred miles, the space within the banner also doubled, accommodating one hundred Six Realm demons, fifty Seven Realm demons..."

Immediately,

he returned from the Hero King Realm to the Black Wind Cliff.

Whoosh!

The Black Wind continued roaring.

Chen Ku knew there was no life within a thousand miles around the Black Wind Cliff, submerged by the black Gang Wind, so this wasn’t the place to deploy the Evil Summoning Banner.

"It’s been over a month, it’s time to leave here, and I wonder how the war between Yuan Country and Ji Country went during this month, how did Yang Xi fare in the Capital..."

With a thought, he summoned the incarnations of his protectors to his side.

He asked:

"During this month, have the other incarnations from Qiu Dragon Mansion transmitted any news?"

Before cultivating, he instructed those incarnations to send messages to Black Wind Mountain if there was any matter, ensuring he learned about external events promptly.

"Yes."

The loose cultivator nodded and said:

"Many things happened within this month, when the master retrieves me, all will be known."

Chen Ku nodded.

He pointed at the loose cultivator transformation, transforming it into Origin, and absorbed it into his mind, starting to browse through the loose cultivator’s memory.

From the first day he began his retreat here, take a look.

On the seventh day, news came from the Qiu Dragon Mansion.

[The Six Sects Alliance of Yuan Country used Huainan Prefecture as a base, capturing ten cities in seven days; Ping Nan General has so far been unable to recover even a single city and has instead lost thirty thousand men and is injured himself.]

Chen Ku remained silent.

Although he had long anticipated the formidable combat effectiveness of Yuan Country’s army of Qi Cultivators, he still did not expect such an overwhelming stance.

Ten cities in seven days.

Ji Country could not withstand it at all.

But from the intelligence gathered.

Yuan Country has not yet intended to attack Qiu Dragon Mansion, probably because the resources of Qiu Dragon Mansion are too scarce, and there is no necessity to attack.

He continued to browse through the memory.

On the tenth day.

[Under the leadership of Kong Xin and Er Lang, the Thirty-Six Martial Associations jointly established the ’Dan Yuan Association’, achieving a daily output of one thousand Healing Elixirs and thirty thousand Fasting Pills, and signed a contract with the ’Ping Nan Army’ worth ten billion silver.]

Chen Ku was delighted.

Ten billion silver for a pill order, it is indeed a large sum, since war is a money-burning endeavor.

Even in his previous life’s countries, the annual military expenditure could reach hundreds of billions, if not trillions, let alone in this world, a super large country with extraordinary combat power and a billion population.

This ten billion silver, although it seems like a large amount, is probably just a small fraction of the military expenses Ji Country needs to prepare for a decisive battle with Yuan Country.

After all, purchasing pills and other military supplies from civilian sources is undertaken throughout the entire Dragon Abyss Province, even the Taiyue Province.

Qiu Dragon Mansion is only one percent of Dragon Abyss Province.

Next, as long as the Yuan Army doesn’t invade Qiu Dragon Mansion, more similar orders will come, and even if they do invade, the Dan Yuan Association can still retreat.

After all, the most valuable part of the Dan Yuan Association is the Pill Master, and a Seventh-grade Pill Master is worth thousands of people.

On the fifteenth day.

[Er Lang used the deposit paid by the Ping Nan Army to place a bounty at Grey Clothes Tower for the ’Rest Soil’ needed by the Diagram Master for the Tenth Transformation Map, and the ’Thunder Spiritual Item’ needed for refining the Seventh Layer of Huntian Overlord Body.]

Chen Ku silently nodded.

The incarnation was his own mind, and Er Lang had done all these things entirely with his own thoughts, all for the benefit of the true self.

On the twenty-fifth day.

[The Imperial Court has completely abandoned Baojiao County, choosing to transfer Marquis of Han Shou Guan Yanbing, who was suppressing bandits in Baojiao County, to the Pingnan Army. Meanwhile, Governor Yuan Yue ordered the ’Yue Army to enter the Abyss’, and the hundred thousand troops of Taiyue Province, led by General ’Yue Qilin’, are heading to the Dragon Abyss frontline.]

This news did not surprise Chen Ku either.

There was a descended Yellow Heaven Evil God in Baojiao County, with a Tenth Realm Divine Soul, setting up a formation sustained by the faith of a hundred thousand people, and Marquis of Han Shou simply could not capture it.

At this critical moment of Yuan Country’s invasion, Ji Country must marshal all its military power to resist Da Yuan.

Even the Yue Army from the neighboring province has been mobilized.

There’s no way the province could still permit twenty thousand troops to siege one Baojiao County.

"Not good. Although Qiu Dragon Mansion is not within the Yuan Dynasty’s strategic plan for now, if Baojiao County’s Peace Path loses its suppression, it might begin to expand outward. If that happens, Qiu Dragon Mansion may not perish at the hands of Qi Cultivators, but at the hands of the Peace Path."

Chen Ku had received all the transformations of the Peace Path leader, knowing that once the Peace Path, a Divine Soul Cultivator group practicing through incense faith, establishes a territory and city with enough populace for resources, the speed of cultivating the ’Nine Heavens Divine Spell’ would be rapid.

Perhaps by now, Baojiao County might already have Seventh Realm, even Eighth Realm Evil Gods.

"I wonder if that Yellow Heaven Evil God has found a body yet and in what state it currently is. I’ll have to use the Six-Eared Macaque to inquire later."

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Ku continued to browse the memory.

On the thirtieth day.

[Ten pounds of Rest Soil required by the true self for the Tenth Transformation Map has been successfully acquired through a bounty at the Grey Clothes Tower. Additionally, Grey Clothes Tower also completed the order previously placed by the Diagram Master concerning the descendants of Totem Divine Beasts, delivering two of such demon beasts.]

Chen Ku was slightly pleased, having found the Rest Soil.

Regarding the Totem Divine Beasts, he remembered that before leaving Baojiao County, he had sent Er Lang to Grey Clothes Tower in Qiu Dragon Mansion to place an order; at the time, Grey Clothes Tower still had half of his order unpaid. Later, due to the cultivation into Flood Dragon Transformation and other delays, he never went back to claim them, counting the time, four to five months had already passed, and those orders remained unclaimed.

Immediately, he was eager to return to Qiu Dragon Mansion.

But the memory wasn’t finished.

On the fifty-fifth day.

[It’s been about two months since the Yuan Country began its invasion, with reinforcements joining the Qi Cultivators, including a Twelfth Realm Qi Cultivator, resulting in the fall of the three states of Dragon Abyss. The three great sects within were forced to relocate to the capital Yan Capital.]

[Subsequently, an edict was issued from Yujing City, announcing the establishment of the ’Dragon Abyss Divine Martial Hall’ in the capital city ’Yan Capital’, which will widely recruit military scholars for a year of teaching, aiming to rapidly cultivate ’young generals’ capable of leading troops and commanding battles for the nation.]

The Dragon Abyss Divine Martial Hall, was established on the edict of the Imperial Capital, spearheaded by the Martial Temples of Yuan Yue’s two provinces, and cooperatively constructed by the Nine Great Sects of Dragon Abyss Province into a ’Martial General School’, wherein students will be taught valuable martial arts from the Nine Great Sects, and it is rumored that those with excellent grades could directly enter the lineage of the Martial Arts Holy Land and be recommended to the Imperial Capital.

The enrollment period for this Dragon Abyss Divine Martial Hall ends on the fifteenth of August this year, so the true self is advised to return as soon as possible after completing his cultivation.

Chen Ku read this last piece of information, which arrived yesterday.

"The Dragon Abyss Divine Martial Hall involves participation from all of Dragon Abyss’s Nine Great Sects, which means... the Destruction Tower is among them."

His spirits immediately lifted.

Originally, he intended to join one of the Nine Great Sects naturally once he breached the top one hundred on the Dragon Abyss Genius List and enter the Destruction Tower—it was only a matter of time.

Unexpectedly, the invasion from Yuan Country forced three out of the Nine Great Sects to relocate, compelling them to unite and, under the court’s decree, to collaboratively establish a ’military academy’ to train military talents and make contributions to the nation to resist Yuan and save the country.

Moreover, not only could he learn martial arts from the Destruction Tower’s inheritance, but there’s also the opportunity to join the lineage of the Holy Land.

This could be a godsend of an opportunity.

Maybe he could even obtain the Forbidden Technique Finger early, thus breaking all prohibitions within the Hero King Realm, inheriting all the treasures of the Fifteenth Realm Hero King.

No wonder Er Lang sent the message advising him to return promptly after successful cultivation.

"The fifteenth of August, there’s still half a month left to register."

Chen Ku immediately flashed from Black Wind Cliff, heading back to Qiu Dragon Mansion.
