Nine-Nine Extreme Transformation

Nine-Nine Extreme Transformation

Afterward, Hong Qianlie kept only his three personal disciples, clearly having matters to entrust to them. The remaining registered disciples were led out of the main hall by Qiu Ming to be arranged in turn.

"This is your residence. The sect's rules and some common knowledge of the cultivation world are inscribed within this jade slip. If there is anything you do not understand, you may look it up yourself."

Ever since learning that Chen Lin possessed the "Parasitic Soul-Sharing Body," a trash constitution, Qiu Ming's expression had grown noticeably colder. He led Chen Lin to a simple courtyard halfway up the mountain, gave a few indifferent instructions, and hurried away.

Chen Lin did not mind in the slightest. He glanced at the courtyard; it was not large, but it was quite empty, appearing exceptionally desolate with nothing special to note. He walked into the room, where the furnishings were equally sparse: a bed, two chairs, and a meditation cushion for cultivation. There was nothing else.

Chen Lin closed the door, setting other matters aside for the moment. He first took out the immortal technique jade slip given to him by Hong Qianlie, pressed it to his forehead, and closed his eyes to perceive its contents.

"Nine-Nine Extreme Transformation."

After a long while, Chen Lin opened his eyes, a thoughtful look appearing in them. Immediately after, he communicated with the Main God Coffin.

"Nine-Nine Extreme Transformation, Immortal Technique. Grade: Unknown."

This immortal technique seemed ordinary, yet its contents were obscure and inexplicable. Even the Main God Coffin had no relevant information on it, which could not help but make Chen Lin even more cautious.

There was generally only one reason why the Main God Coffin could not retrieve information: this technique had never appeared in the world, and no one had ever cultivated it. Since no one had ever cultivated it, it meant this technique was still in the exploratory stage, or perhaps even created by Hong Qianlie himself.

Chen Lin's gaze grew somewhat gloomy.

Cultivating an immortal technique of unknown purpose was undoubtedly playing with his own life. Deviating into a cultivation obsession would be the least of his worries; he might even perish by the end of his training.

"Prompt: The system can perform technique deduction. Based on the difficulty of the technique, the Death Energy required for deduction will increase accordingly. Do you wish to proceed with the deduction? Yes/No."

At this moment, the Guide's cold voice rang out abruptly.

Chen Lin was startled, then felt a slight surge of joy. His current Death Energy points were quite abundant, and he did not fear consumption for the time being, so he clicked "Yes" without hesitation.

Hong Qianlie had calculated everything, but he could never have imagined that Chen Lin possessed the mysterious Main God Coffin system, which could deduce and calculate techniques to reveal the consequences of practicing them.

"Deduction in progress... Deduction complete."

"Nine-Nine Extreme Transformation, Immortal Technique. Grade: Unknown. Function: Primarily cultivates the soul. Divided into nine layers; each layer doubles the strength of the soul (Warning: This technique is still in the exploratory stage. Contractor, please cultivate with caution). Death Energy cost for deduction: 1,000 points."

Chen Lin's heart sank. Part of it was the pain of losing the Death Energy points spent on the deduction, but more importantly, Hong Qianlie's intentions were clearly not pure—he was trying to harm him!

The soul was the most mysterious and profound aspect of existence. Before one's cultivation broke through the Xiantian stage and reached the Sea-Opening stage, it was difficult for a person to perceive the changes in their own soul.

However, Chen Lin knew that the power of two souls alone was already more than his physical body could bear, let alone increasing it by a terrifying ninefold!

Perhaps by the time he broke through to the Sea-Opening stage, his soul power would erupt completely, and that would be the moment of his demise!

Not cultivate it? That was certainly not an option. He could not resist Hong Qianlie at all. In half a month, Hong Qianlie would personally inspect him; if he discovered that Chen Lin had not practiced this technique, Hong Qianlie would likely crush him with a single finger.

Find a way to escape the Myriad Demon Sect?

A thought stirred in Chen Lin's mind, and he quickly communicated with the Guide.

"Guide, can the Myriad Demon Sect restriction within my body be removed?"

To escape the Myriad Demon Sect, he had to excise the sect restriction that had been inexplicably placed upon him.

"Spirit-Binding Restriction: A unique restriction of the Myriad Demon Sect. Death Energy points required to remove the restriction: 10,000 points."

Chen Lin's expression turned completely grim.

After long-term accumulation and some luck, his Death Energy points had barely reached 8,000. He had just spent 1,000 on the technique deduction, leaving him with just over 7,000. How could it be easy to save up 10,000 points?

Since he could not leave the Myriad Demon Sect for the time being, Chen Lin had to look for solutions elsewhere.

"Guide, is there any solution for this so-called 'Parasitic Soul-Sharing Body'?"

If he could resolve the trouble of this constitution, things might not be as bad as he imagined. With no other choice, Chen Lin had to start from this point.

"Parasitic Soul-Sharing Body, special constitution. Formed by two souls merging into one, mutually dependent, intertwined like water and milk, inseparable."

"Contractor may choose: 1. Body-refining immortal technique; cultivate the physical body before breaking through to the Sea-Opening stage to a level capable of bearing the power of two souls. Recommended techniques: Wild Sacred Body, Eight-Nine Profound Art, Nirvana Demon Body..."

"2. Exchange for a bloodline with a formidable physical body. Recommended bloodlines: Ancestral Witch Bloodline, Three Thousand Demon God Bloodline, Black Tortoise Bloodline, Titan God Bloodline..."

"3. Abandon the physical body and switch to Ghost Dao supernatural powers..."

"4. Cultivate an external avatar..."

The Guide listed nearly ten solutions in a grand manner. Chen Lin was left dumbfounded, but immediately afterward, he could only smile bitterly. These methods were good, but each one was incredibly difficult, and the Death Energy points required were simply terrifying—they were impossible to achieve.

Unable to think of any solution for the moment, Chen Lin simply pushed these matters to the back of his mind. He did not know what he would face in the future, but the most important thing right now was to increase his strength, at least enough to have a bit more self-preservation when facing danger.

At this moment, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Houtian stage and was about to break through to the Xiantian stage.

Chen Lin had cultivated the Dragon-Elephant Nirvana Art to great success. His internal hidden meridians had been opened, and because he had absorbed the essence of the Heavenly Demon Blood Pool, his physical body had undergone several reconstructions. His bloodline potential had evolved from the mortal grade to the earth grade, and his foundation no longer had defects. It was time to charge toward the Xiantian stage.

This was a watershed moment.

All living things in heaven and earth were considered Houtian from birth, eroded by the turbid energy of the world. The first hurdle of cultivation was to return from Houtian to Xiantian, aiming to strip the body of mortal dust and master the control of spiritual energy to command the body.

A Xiantian-stage ferocious beast could briefly transform into human form within half a day. After all, humans were the most spiritual of all creatures and possessed the constitution most suited for cultivation. Cultivating in human form could increase one's cultivation speed by nearly half.

To ensure a safer and smoother breakthrough to the Xiantian stage, Chen Lin opened the Main God Exchange System once more.

"Spirit Essence Nine-Return Pill. Quality: Top-grade. Origin: Main God Space. Mobilizes all spiritual energy in the body to perform nine cycles of impact on the acupoints, equivalent to having nine opportunities to break through to the Xiantian stage. Evaluation: If you cannot break through to the Xiantian stage even with nine opportunities, you might as well consider going home to farm. Death Energy required for exchange: 300 points."

Chen Lin was speechless as he looked at the evaluation provided by the Main God Space. He had not expected the Main God Space to have such a dry sense of humor.

Exchanging for the Spirit Essence Nine-Return Pill, Chen Lin swallowed it without hesitation. He sat on the meditation cushion in a strange posture, closed his eyes, and quietly began to perceive the energy.

Before long, Chen Lin suddenly felt a warm current slowly circulating from his lower abdomen. At first, it was sluggish, but in the blink of an eye, the speed of the flow grew faster and faster! More and more violent! Gradually, it whipped up nine surging cyclones within his body, crashing like tidal waves and slamming against his insides as if they were desperate to burst out of him!

Hearing a thunderous roar from within his body, Chen Lin's heart tightened, and he began to circulate the Dao Heaven cultivation technique to guide the cyclones through his meridians. A moment later, Chen Lin closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and sank into a state of total stillness.

This stillness lasted for a full day and night, while inside Chen Lin's body, wave after wave of terrifying pressure continued to brew.

"Boom!"

The next morning, a vast aura suddenly shot into the sky from a courtyard halfway up the mountain, roaring like a flash flood. Influenced by this energy, the door to the room within the courtyard exploded with a deafening "bang!"

A slender figure stood inside the room, long hair flying wildly and obscuring his face. Surging spiritual energy, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, erupted along his meridians. The figure stood perfectly still, yet his presence pressed down upon the heart like a towering mountain!
