Form Transformation

Deep within Pangu Hall.

Within the blood cocoon, Zhou Ming's figure had long since solidified. He sat cross-legged, his mind wholly immersed in cultivation.

Refining fiend qi, strengthening his Primordial Spirit!

Comprehending the Law of Strength, reinforcing himself!

This became the only rhythm of his long years.

Zhou Ming cultivated methodically, though he had no idea how many Epochs had passed.

With his bitter cultivation day after day, year after year, his Primordial Spirit grew ever more solid, radiating an immortal spiritual glow.

At the same time, his comprehension of the Law of Strength left behind by Father God Pangu had gradually progressed from initial confusion to grasping a few of its mysteries. He could now be considered truly initiated.

On this day, Zhou Ming was guiding the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to draw in the Blood Pool's energy, refining the fiend qi that had seeped into his Primordial Spirit.

Suddenly.

Buzz—!

A wondrous sensation surged into his heart, as though some invisible shackle had broken.

His Primordial Spirit became clear and transparent, reaching an unprecedented state of perfection.

Within his body, his blood and qi surged like dragons, the power he had accumulated reaching a critical threshold.

A wondrous sensation surged into his heart, as though a voice from the unseen were telling him: the time had come!

"Am I about to undergo Form Transformation?" Zhou Ming's heart stirred as he circulated the power accumulated within him with all his strength.

Rumble!

The blood cocoon enclosing him began to tremble!

Countless profound patterns surfaced across its exterior. They were the imprints of Pangu's bloodline, the manifested embryonic form of the Law of Strength!

Crack—

A crisp shattering sound rang out, exceptionally clear in the silent depths of Pangu Hall.

Crack! Crack-crack!

Crisp cracking sounds rang out as fine fissures appeared over the blood cocoon's surface and rapidly spread.

Surging power of blood and qi, mingled with an incomparably tyrannical pressure from his physical body, erupted violently from those cracks!

"Break... open!"

Zhou Ming roared inwardly, and the power he had amassed over countless years erupted completely at this moment!

Bang!!!

A tremendous blast rang out!

The enormous blood cocoon that had wrapped around him for endless years exploded with a thunderous crash!

Countless scarlet fragments scattered in every direction before swiftly melting back into the churning Blood Pool.

A figure slowly rose from the center of the shattered blood cocoon.

He was not the towering giant one might have imagined, but a young man who appeared to be around twenty years old.

His appearance was ordinary, somewhat refined, bearing a seventy or eighty percent resemblance to his past-life self. Yet his bearing had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

This was Zhou Ming, his newly born form in the Primordial Wilderness!

He lowered his head to examine his hands, then moved his body, feeling the terrifying power contained in this fleshly body forged from Pangu's essence blood.

"So this is... the Ancestral Wu Body?"

His Primordial Spirit and physical body fit together perfectly, and an unprecedented sense of strength arose within him.

"So this is... the power of the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm?" Zhou Ming clenched his fist, feeling the strength within him that could shake mountains, as well as the flowing Dao rhythm of laws within his Primordial Spirit. He muttered softly.

The moment he underwent Form Transformation, he possessed the cultivation of an early Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

"As expected of Father God Pangu's heart's blood. This Foundation is simply heaven-defying!" Zhou Ming marveled inwardly.

Of course, he knew it was not solely due to Pangu's essence blood. It was also because he had refined Heaven-Opening Fiend Qi, condensed a Primordial Spirit, and had the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Dao Origin Divine Pearl, suppressing his Fortune and aiding his cultivation, along with the solid foundation laid by that wisp of comprehension of the Law of Strength.

Only the accumulation of all these heaven-defying factors had brought about his current achievements.

If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

Despite feeling the surging power within him, Zhou Ming did not feel the slightest bit complacent.

"Phew..." Zhou Ming let out a long breath, adapting to his brand-new body and power.

His gaze swept across the other twelve blood cocoons still lying dormant within the Blood Pool, and his eyes turned gentle yet resolute.

"Next, I should consider how to help these Twelve Younger Siblings."

Thinking of their tragic fate in the future, Zhou Ming's heart grew heavy.

He absolutely could not allow the Twelve Ancestral Witches to repeat history's mistakes and become a pack of reckless brutes who knew only how to fight and kill.

If he wanted to help them, the key still lay in the Dao Origin Divine Pearl.

This Innate Supreme Treasure forged by Father God Pangu was his only support at present.

With a thought, a precious pearl, dark yellow throughout and emanating a gentle Dao aura, slowly emerged from between his brows and hovered before him.

It was the Dao Origin Divine Pearl transformed from the System Core.

"I need to refine it completely first." Zhou Ming studied the Dao Origin Divine Pearl.

Forty-nine Innate Restrictions lay within this pearl, representing the very pinnacle of Innate Supreme Treasures.

With his current early Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, completely refining it was simply impossible.

"I'll refine as many as I can."

Zhou Ming hesitated no longer. He immediately sat cross-legged, sank his primordial spirit into the Dao Origin Divine Pearl, and began refining the restrictions within it with all his might.

One, two, three...

The refining process was no easy task. Every restriction contained the ultimate truths of the Great Dao, demanding immense mental effort to comprehend, communicate with, and control.

Fortunately, the Dao Origin Divine Pearl had already fused with him and shared the same origin, making it far easier to refine than a masterless Spiritual Treasure.

Who knew how much more time passed? When Zhou Ming refined the eighteenth restriction, he felt a distinct resistance.

His primordial spirit power had been greatly depleted. Trying to advance any further was beyond his strength.

"Is eighteen restrictions the limit for the early Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage?" Zhou Ming opened his eyes, sensing his closer connection to the Dao Origin Divine Pearl and the greater mysteries it conveyed to him.

Though he had refined less than half of it, he could now make preliminary use of some of the Dao Origin Divine Pearl's power.

He tried activating the Dao Origin Divine Pearl and moved it close to an Ancestral Wu blood cocoon.

The Dao Origin Divine Pearl trembled lightly, releasing a gentle suction force.

A thread of the violent, chaotic Baleful Intent within the blood cocoon was immediately drawn out and slowly absorbed into the Dao Origin Divine Pearl.

The pearl rotated faintly as halos of light flowed across it. That thread of Baleful Intent was quickly broken down and purified, ultimately turning into a stream of pure energy that flowed back out.

"It works!" Zhou Ming's eyes lit up.

The Dao Origin Divine Pearl really could absorb and refine Baleful Intent!

However, before he could rejoice for long, his brow furrowed tightly once more.

He discovered that the Dao Origin Divine Pearl's efficiency in refining Baleful Intent... was simply far too slow!

That thread of Baleful Intent it had just absorbed and refined was a mere drop in the bucket compared to the vast, sea-like amount inside the blood cocoon!

Moreover, this was while the Ancestral Wu within the blood cocoon had yet to develop consciousness and were merely absorbing energy by instinct.

Once they awakened and began actively drawing in the energy of Pangu Hall and the essence of the Blood Pool, the rate at which Baleful Intent bred would absolutely far exceed the Dao Origin Divine Pearl's current refining speed!

"This efficiency... it can't keep up at all!" Zhou Ming's expression darkened.

Counting on the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to vacuum up each of his Twelve Younger Siblings one by one and suck their Baleful Intent clean was nothing but a fantasy.

"It seems the path of directly using the Dao Origin Divine Pearl to absorb and refine it won't work." Zhou Ming rubbed his chin and sank into thought.

"I have to find a more efficient method—preferably one that lets them refine the Baleful Intent themselves..."

His gaze returned to the twelve blood cocoons, his eyes flickering.

"Pangu bloodline... Law of Strength... Dao Origin Divine Pearl..."

Thought after thought collided in his mind.

"Perhaps... I can start with a cultivation technique?"
