Chapter 726: Chapter 363: The Wonderful Use of Golden Human Energy
 

Several months had passed, and Zhi Ling had already absorbed all the benefits brought by the Transformation Tribulation. Her body gradually became capable of true transformation.

Lin Yi was cultivating in the nearby Cave Mansion and did not use the Eye of Emptiness or his Primordial Spirit to check on Zhi Ling’s transformation process. After all, she was a little girl.

That day, as he was cultivating, Zhi Ling sent a Divine Intent message from the adjacent Cave Mansion, “Master, I, I’ve succeeded in transforming. Can I come out?”

Hearing the somewhat nervous words of Zhi Ling, Lin Yi couldn’t help but speculate, what made this little one so reserved all of a sudden? Could she be harboring some mischievous idea? “Come out quickly, my dear granddaughter Zhi Ling.”

With his permission, Zhi Ling hurried out from the inner Cave Mansion, wearing the small dress he had prepared for her, barefoot, with her head down, looking shy and like someone afraid to meet others. Judging by her height, she seemed to be around four or five years old.

Seeing this, Lin Yi had a bad feeling inside, “Why are you looking down? Let me see what face you’ve transformed into.”

Could it be that Zhi Ling had turned into an ugly monster and was too ashamed to show her face?

Zhi Ling immediately lifted her head, revealing a face that was bizarre to the extreme. If each feature was considered separately, they belonged to someone of ultimate beauty. However, when put together, they were incredibly disharmonious.

Lin Yi recognized something familiar in this face and, upon closer examination, he was almost stunned, “Well done, Zhi Ling. How many people’s faces have you sewn onto your own?”

From this face alone, there were features of three people he knew, aside from his own. There was Chen Huanyu, Xu Yu Rou, and even traits of Invincible East.

Such a stack of facial features, unable to blend perfectly, naturally looked extremely odd.

“Cough, didn’t you tell me not to be like White Painting, Master? So, I thought about the faces of the Master and the girls the Master knows, all in my mind, and then… it turned out like this…” Zhi Ling said in a weak voice, sounding very young.

Lin Yi was somewhat speechless. This was a classic case of biting off more than one can chew. Some Monster Beasts turn hideous after transformation, not because they are as greedy as Zhi Ling but because they haven’t seen many humans and rely on their imagination to transform, resulting in a form that only resembles Humankind and is still distinctly of the Demon Tribe.

Although the Fox Clan is quite repulsive, when it comes to transformation techniques, the Fox Clan dares to claim they’re second only to none in the Demon Tribe.

Previously, White Painting’s transformation was based on their own face, with some feminization, which is why it looked so much like Lin Yi.

Zhi Ling’s case was that she had thought of too many people’s faces during her transformation, and they failed to merge, resulting in the current peculiar appearance.

“How long have you been transformed? Can you still change?” Lin Yi hurriedly asked.

There is what is known as a molding period for Monster Beasts’ transformation. Right after they’ve just transformed and haven’t stabilized, they are still capable of changing. If they wait until after the transformation has stabilized, it’s basically impossible to change it unless they reach a higher Realm and gain the ability to change it on their own.

Zhi Ling, with her head lowered, fiddled with the hem of her dress, “After I transformed, I got familiar with my body and went to the pool inside the Cave Mansion. Then, then I discovered it turned out like this. It’s been a few days, I know I did wrong…”

Seeing Zhi Ling’s timid appearance, Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile. After transforming into a human form, she looked even more heartbreakingly adorable than in her Spirit Beast form. He patted Zhi Ling’s head, “It’s alright, come here, let me have a look. If you really can’t change anymore, we’ll think of something when your Realm improves. Besides, you also have the human form of the Vermilion Bird’s descendant.”

Upon hearing his words, Zhi Ling’s demeanor quickly shifted from one of nervousness and grievance to one of happiness, though her smile looked indeed strange on that face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Yi asked Zhi Ling to stand in front of him. Touching her face, which was formed by their collective thoughts, he found that despite carrying their traits, it was still a child’s visage, not a direct copy from their faces.

He used his Primordial Spirit to investigate and found that her skeletal structure seemed to have stabilized, leaving no room for change.

After all, when Monster Beasts initially transform towards a human structure, they’re in a malleable state. This is why some Monster Beasts can still retain traits of the Demon Tribe. Once this state ends, no further changes are possible.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi used the Eye of Emptiness for a deeper examination and seemed to discover familiar auras within Zhi Ling’s body.

This aura seemed similar to the Golden Human Energy within his own body, only the aura here was not golden.

Could it be that this Human Energy is what gives Monster Beasts the ability to transform into humans?

Perhaps, because his own body contains the three Auras of Creation—of heaven, earth, and humanity—it added the effect of changing into the Demon Tribe to his ability to create virtual identities.

As the saying goes, fate toys with us. If his own Nascent Soul can take on a human form, then naturally, the three Auras of Creation can transform into the Demon Tribe as well.

“Master, why aren’t you moving? Are you angry?” Zhi Ling, seeing Lin Yi motionless, immediately asked with some anxiety.

Lin Yi came back to his senses with a smile, “I’m not angry. I just thought of a method we can try.”

“Okay,” Zhi Ling nodded vigorously, clenching her little fists.
