Chapter 84 Innate Green Wood Incarnation
"The Great Yu Dynasty does not prohibit sorcery—"
He repeated it in a low voice, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over the palm of his left hand, where the cold touch of that strange tree root from Baishan Post Station still seemed to linger.
The desires that were forcibly suppressed in the past due to concerns about humanitarian principles and possible taboos are now burning fiercely like wildfire doused with hot oil!
That's the [Innate Green Wood Avatar Technique], which can condense the power of an Innate Realm cultivator into an avatar!
If he could master it—Zhang Yuan's heart began to pound violently.
A clone with innate combat power is invaluable, whether for exploring dangerous places, deceiving enemies to take their place, or providing a decisive blow at a crucial moment!
Especially for him, having the ability to transform lifespan into foundational energy, the price of this "hundred-year lifespan of vital energy and blood" is not unbearable!
Back in his cramped cabin, Zhang Yuan slammed the door shut behind him.
Outside, the guards and the Black Scale Army were busily clearing away the floating remains of the monsters on the river and salvaging valuable materials. The noise could be faintly heard, but he kept it all out.
Sit cross-legged, take a deep breath, and let your mind sink into the depths of your consciousness.
A pale gold panel instantly appeared, shimmering with light.
[A strong desire has been detected from the host. Confirm the need to expend 120 years of lifespan to exchange for and initially master the demonic technique: [Innate Green Wood Incarnation Technique]?]
[Note: Demonic arts are unpredictable and dangerous. Forcibly practicing them will damage one's foundation of humanity and easily attract demonic backlash. Be careful! Be careful!]
The bright red warning text was still glaringly obvious.
Zhang Yuan's gaze, however, was unwavering. Xing Daorong's figure, the image of him riding the waves to suppress demons and his face covered in demonic markings, along with the words "The Great Dao leads to the same destination" and "The Great Yu does not prohibit demonic magic," gave him unprecedented confidence and direction.
"Confirm redemption!"
Zhang Yuan silently recited it in his heart.
"boom--!"
The number representing lifespan on the panel instantly decreased from 580 years to 480 years!
At the same time, a vast, obscure, and mysterious flow of information, full of vitality yet concealing a chilling and corrosive intent, surged wildly into the depths of Zhang Yuan's consciousness like a flood bursting its banks!
"Well----"
Zhang Yuan groaned, veins bulging on his forehead, and his body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.
It uses the life force and blood of a hundred years to condense a green wood incarnation.
His lifespan will be reduced by another hundred years!
"Buzz"
Countless twisted cyan runes, bizarre meridian pathways, and secret techniques for refining the soul using one's own vital energy and lifespan as fuel were forcibly imprinted onto Zhang Yuan's soul.
A violent tearing sensation came from the depths of my soul, as if countless roots were about to burst out of my body!
There was also a cold and malevolent demonic aura, like a maggot clinging to his bone, following the trajectory of the secret technique, attempting to erode his meridians and pollute his extremely strong and yang blood!
This is exactly what the panel warned of: "damaging the foundation" and "leading to backlash"!
In that critical moment, a sharp glint flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes!
The dormant rock-solid fist intent within his body suddenly erupted, his muscles and bones resounded like thunder, his blood and qi surged like boiling magma, and the supreme yang and supreme strength flowed through his meridians, firmly resisting the invading demonic energy!
At the same time, the righteous literary energy in his chest, which he had received from Chen Wenyuan's teachings and had been nurtured for a long time, was also stirred up, transforming into a gentle yet resilient clear stream that protected his heart and mind, and cleansed away the negative erosion brought by the demonic energy.
With martial arts qi and blood as a shield and Confucian and Taoist culture as a purifier, he carved out a stable foothold for himself amidst the violent inheritance of demonic arts!
After an unknown amount of time, the soul-tearing pain and the corrosive feeling of demonic energy finally receded like the tide.
Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, with a faint blue hue swirling within.
He opened his right hand, a thought stirring in his mind.
"Buzz!"
A wisp of pure, condensed, and almost tangible azure demonic energy slowly rose from his palm.
This demonic essence did not originate from the outside world, but was generated by the transformation of his own pure blood and lifespan through a secret technique, fused with a trace of the innate Yi Wood primordial energy!
With his mind's control, the wisp of demonic energy quickly twisted and shaped. In the blink of an eye, a palm-sized figure, composed entirely of vibrant green demonic energy, with a blurred face but exuding the aura of the early stage of the Innate Realm, floated above his palm!
Although small, the little figure was exceptionally lively and understood Zhang Yuan's thoughts.
He could clearly sense the power contained within this avatar, its speed, resilience, and the trace of the inexhaustible vitality originating from the innate Yi wood!
This is no illusion, but a real clone with independent action capabilities that can perfectly execute his will!
Zhang Yuan's thoughts shifted again, and the tiny green wood avatar instantly transformed into a stream of light, disappearing beneath the skin of his left arm.
On the skin, a barely perceptible, pale blue tree-like pattern, only an inch long, quietly emerged, like the most delicate tattoo, silently lying dormant.
He could clearly sense the existence of his avatar, and with just a thought, he could summon it instantly!
Feeling the vibrant power contained within the faint blue mark on his arm, Zhang Yuan slowly clenched his fist.
A pale gold panel suddenly appeared in my mind's eye:
【Ding! 】
[Detection: Innate Green Wood Incarnation (1/9) successfully condensed!]
[The nine bodies can be combined into one, merging into a Grandmaster-level Wood-type Dharma Form!]
[Warning: The incarnation requires a strong physique and soul. At your current cultivation level, one incarnation is already nearing its limit. Forcibly condensing a second one will trigger a backlash of demonic energy, eroding your foundation!]
Zhang Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
Xing Daorong's words, "All paths lead to the same destination," still echoed in my ears, but this sorcery was far more bizarre than I had imagined.
Having a single innate clone is already a trump card obtained amidst great danger; the Grandmaster realm of nine bodies united is like a phantom in the clouds.
He ran his fingertips over the blue marks on his arm, his eyes flashing: "Even a single clone can be a blade—once I break through to the Innate Realm, I will have the power to combine all nine bodies into one!"
An unprecedented surge of confidence welled up within me.
A day later, the official boat slowly docked at the Linshan County Wharf.
The shore was already bustling with people.
The county constable of Linshan County, along with his constables, handed over the mountain of monster corpses.
The main purpose is to receive materials made from the remains of monsters that have been salvaged from the Canglang River and have undergone preliminary processing.
-
These materials, imbued with demonic power, are invaluable, serving as both spoils of war and a side benefit of the escort mission.
The onlookers pointed and whispered about the mountain-sized demon corpse, their faces filled with fear.
Several martial arts practitioners carrying swords and knives squeezed into the crowd, their whispers like cold water dripping into a hot oil pan: "See that official ship? People from Fengming County! I heard that Xing Yanwang swept the Canglang River flat with a single shot, even the Black-Armored General was reduced to minced meat!"
"Hiss—really? Black Armor General is a renowned innate demon who has been famous for many years!" A person next to him gasped.
"It's absolutely true! My brother-in-law's brother-in-law works in the county government office. I heard it from the soldiers who escorted him back!" The bearded man said with lingering fear.
"More than that! Just received news that both the Yunhai Gang and the Changhai Sect have issued invitations to welcome the dragon!" Someone whispered, gesturing towards the prison cart. "Both of these families have demonic blood flowing through their veins. Luyang Prefecture is likely about to undergo a major upheaval!"
"Tsk tsk, this has really stirred up a hornet's nest!" Another person clicked their tongue, their eyes gleaming. "Black Armor Commander is a trusted and beloved general under the Overturning Sea King, and also one of the protectors of the 'Azure Dragon Prince'."
"Now that even it has perished here, how can that king possibly let it go? The Cloud Sea Gang and the Long Sea Sect are said to have already received word, and they've even prepared the 'Welcoming Dragon Invitation,' just waiting to intercept the person—no, the demon—on the way!"
"That's terrible! Xing Yanwang has completely wiped out their vanguard and commanding general! This is a huge grudge!"
