All Taking Human Form

The Merit Golden Light lasted for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense before gradually dissipating into the heavens and earth.

"Boss, I feel... I feel like something in my body is about to explode!" Just as the Merit Golden Light faded, Lin Yan heard the slightly flustered voice of Lin Er.

"Boss, me too." Lin San swayed his massive body, signaling to Lin Yan that he was experiencing the same sensation.

"Leader, we feel it too," the Jade Spirit Deer King, the Colorful Cloud Sparrow Queen, and the Hundred Flower Bee Queen said as well.

Lin Yan swept his Divine Sense over them. Upon careful investigation, he could not help but be overjoyed.

It turned out that under the blessing of the Merit Golden Light, their cultivation had surged, and they had all reached the threshold of transformation. The feeling that something was about to explode inside them was simply that their current physical forms could no longer contain the shackles of breaking through to transformation.

"Everyone, do not panic. Your opportunity for transformation has arrived. Quickly calm your minds, carefully perceive the changes within yourselves, and do not resist."

Among all the creatures in the Earth Dragon Community, only Lin Yan had experience with transformation; even Mo Xuan, who was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, had never undergone it. Therefore, Lin Yan urged everyone to seize this opportunity and enter a state of enlightenment as quickly as possible.

He then took a step forward, arriving at the array eye of the Nine Palaces Earth Vein Array in the center of the canyon.

"Xiao Mo, help me guard. I am going to use the power of the great array to assist them in their transformation," Lin Yan said to Mo Xuan. At this moment, Mo Xuan was still blissfully savoring the many benefits the Merit Golden Light had brought him. His realm, which had remained stagnant for a long time, seemed to show signs of loosening.

Hearing Lin Yan call him, he hurriedly flew into mid-air and said to Lin Yan with a serious face, "Rest assured, with this Young Master here, I guarantee no one will be able to disturb you." He saw a flash of golden light on his jade horns, and an invisible barrier appeared out of thin air, enveloping Lin Yan and the few who were about to transform.

Lin Yan took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and operated the Kun Yuan Thick Earth Art with all his might. With his feet connected to the earth, he launched the Earth Vein Resonance ability.

With a hum, the Nine Palaces Earth Vein Great Array was fully activated. Complex and profound array patterns emerged on the ground, and nine thick, earth-yellow light pillars shot into the sky from the nine array bases.

Immediately after, a series of huge rumbles echoed from deep underground; this was the sound of the Earth Vein Power beneath them operating at full capacity. Countless dense spiritual energies emerged from the ground, and guided by the light pillars at the array eye, they gradually formed a massive spiritual energy vortex in the air.

That was not all. With a thought from Lin Yan, the Primal Chaos Plate, which had been hovering in his Sea of Consciousness, flew out.

"Little guy, I need your help again this time." Over the years, the Primal Chaos Plate had absorbed countless baleful energies and accumulated vast amounts of spiritual energy within itself; even its intelligence seemed to have improved.

The Primal Chaos Plate vibrated gently, expressing its willingness to help. Then, following Lin Yan's request, it spewed out countless waves of extremely dense spiritual energy from its upper four layers of Clear Spirit Space. At the same time, it told Lin Yan with a hint of showing off that this bit of spiritual energy was merely a drop in the bucket for its current self, and that Lin Yan should feel free to use as much as he needed.

"Lin Er, Lin San, White Horn, Zhi Nan, Jin Ji, Qing Xin, the opportunity has arrived. Keep your minds steady and prepare for transformation. Transformation is a metamorphosis of the essence of life, and the process holds great risks. You must not take it lightly," Lin Yan transmitted his voice to them.

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. Do not resist the power within you; let it flow naturally. I will use the array to gather spiritual energy to assist your transformation," Lin Yan added, fearing they were too nervous.

Knowing that Lin Yan was acting as their guardian, the group breathed a sigh of relief. They each calmed their minds and began to fully guide the power within them to strike at the transformation barrier.

Soon, various colors of light began to emerge from their bodies, which then turned into clusters of spiritual mist that wrapped around them. Lin Yan knew that the transformation was about to begin.

The first to show changes was the silent Clear Heart Bamboo King.

The jade green bamboo, which was as thick as three people could embrace and a hundred zhang tall, emitted a "crackling" sound. The emerald bamboo skin peeled off in flakes like old wall plaster, revealing the crystal-clear, jade-like bamboo flesh inside. The peeled-off skin did not dissipate but turned into specks of azure light dust, merging into the surrounding spiritual mist.

Following this, the main trunk began to shrink from the top down: a hundred zhang, ten zhang, two zhang... The emerald radiance grew increasingly intense. Finally, when it had shrunk to the height of a person, the light flashed violently.

As the green light dispersed, a green-robed elder appeared in its place.

The Clear Heart Bamboo King was the first to successfully take human form.

Almost at the same time Qing Xin finished his transformation, several other clusters of Spiritual Mist began to churn violently.

A clear, resonant Deer Cry pierced through the Spiritual Mist, echoing across the canyon. Within the mist, White Horn's massive deer body continuously rolled and contracted, and her white jade-like antlers actually detached from her head, hovering silently to the side.

When the Spiritual Mist dispersed, a handsome youth dressed in a Moon-white Robe, holding a pair of small antlers, revealed his form.

At the same time, from the Spiritual Mist enveloping the Colorful Cloud Sparrow, a young girl wearing a Seven-colored Feather Garment stepped out. However, on this young girl's back grew a pair of massive wings formed from Seven-colored Spiritual Light. As the wings gently flapped, specks of spiritual light drifted downward.

Not long after, the Hundred Flower Bee Queen, Jin Ji, who had been wrapped in golden Spiritual Mist, also revealed her true form. She transformed into a middle-aged beautiful woman with a slender figure and an elegant temperament, though the three pairs of nearly transparent Golden Light Wings on her back gave people a rather strange feeling.

With this, the four—Qing Xin, White Horn, Zhi Nan, and Jin Ji—had successfully taken human form.

As for the remaining two Earth Dragon brothers, Lin Er and Lin San, there was still no movement from them. One could only vaguely hear low, deep roars coming from the earthy-yellow Spiritual Mist that shrouded them.

Lin Yan's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He could sense that the state of Lin Er and Lin San was not good. The pain brought by the transformation was excruciating, and breaking through the shackles of one's race required more than just the ability to endure pain.

Their Earth Dragon Clan, whether in terms of origin or strength, could not be considered particularly outstanding among the thousands of races in the Primordial world. Before he had transmigrated, this group of Earth Dragon subordinates were nothing more than the most ordinary Primordial Creatures.

Therefore, after such a long time and being fed countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures by Lin Yan, the two with the highest cultivation, Lin Er and Lin San, were only just now able to seize the opportunity to transform with the help of the Merit Golden Light.

What he hadn't expected was that even after struggling so hard to reach the point of transformation, the process would still be this difficult.

Seeing his two younger brothers still rolling and struggling within the spheres of light, Lin Yan could no longer just watch. He pondered for a moment, a flash of determination crossing his eyes.

He pressed his fingers together like a sword and pointed at the center of his own brow. Two strands of milky white flames, as brilliant as little suns, were forcibly stripped from his body—these were the Spirit Awakening Fire Seeds condensed using the system function [Civilization Inheritance Fire Seed].

Moreover, this time he had exhausted almost all of the soul and Origin Power he had recently recovered, making the fire seeds far more powerful and pure than the ones he had previously given to White Horn and the others.

As soon as these two strands of fire appeared, the spiritual energy in the entire Array Eye area leaped with joy, as if it had suddenly gained sentience.

"Lin Er, Lin San!" Lin Yan, his face somewhat pale, gave a low shout and shot the two Spirit Awakening Fire Seeds into their respective Spiritual Mists.

"Boss!" Feeling the spirituality contained within the Spirit Awakening Fire Seeds and the incredibly intimate aura of origin, Lin Er and Lin San knew immediately that this was a gift from their boss, Lin Yan.

"Focus your minds and guide the fire seeds into your Sea of Consciousness!" Lin Yan's voice carried a hint of exhaustion, yet it was exceptionally firm.

Lin Er and Lin San did not dare to delay and immediately followed his instructions. As the fire seeds entered their bodies, they instantly turned into a warm current, merging into their soul origins. In an instant, countless profound insights flooded their minds. Their previously hazy consciousness became clear in a flash; their minds felt like pearls wiped clean of dust, suddenly becoming incomparably lucid.

At the same time, Lin Yan waved his large hand, and two "Earthen Spiritual Crystals"—each the size of a pigeon egg, entirely yellow-brown, and radiating a rich aura of Earthen origin—flew out toward the Spiritual Mist clusters of Lin Er and Lin San.

The Spiritual Mist clusters that had absorbed the Earthen Spiritual Crystals suddenly began to vibrate violently, as if two massive hearts were beating powerfully.

Following that, the churning Spiritual Mist began to contract violently inward.

Boom! Boom!

After two dull, thunderous sounds, the two clusters of Spiritual Mist disappeared almost simultaneously, revealing two tall and burly figures within.
