Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape-Shifting, Karma Grafting, Flawless Body, Deceiving a Grand Unity Expert

Huh?

Ao Xue, who had been on his way, came to a stop.

What was going on?

Just moments ago, he had suddenly sensed the aura and Karma Thread of his descendant, Ao Rui, once more.

Hadn't they disappeared just now?

Why had they suddenly reappeared?

This was the first time he had ever heard of such a bizarre occurrence.

No matter what, he had to go take a look.

With his Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, Ao Xue quickly arrived at the place where the Black Dragon Ao Rui was located.

He focused his gaze.

The surrounding seawater was stained a vivid red.

The air was thick with the stench of blood.

A fierce battle had indeed taken place here.

At the center of his vision, a massive Black Dragon was coiled up.

Many scales had visibly fallen off, and blood still flowed from several places.

His eyes were tightly shut.

An incomparably profound aura of Enlightenment emanated from his body.

"Th-this is Enlightenment?"

Ao Xue's eyes widened.

Enlightenment was something that could only be encountered by chance, an immense opportunity.

To attain Enlightenment, opportunity, comprehension, and luck were all indispensable.

He had never expected this descendant of his to possess such fortune. After a single battle, he had actually entered Enlightenment.

Yet Ao Xue's tightly furrowed brows did not relax.

There were still too many puzzling aspects to this.

Everything would have to wait until Ao Rui woke up.

With a Grand Unity Golden Immortal like Ao Xue present, the surrounding seas were utterly calm.

No living creature would dare enter these waters.

His mere pressure was enough to crush them to death.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years passed.

Ao Xue suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is he about to awaken?"

Ao Xue looked at the Black Dragon in the air, his gaze flickering.

The previously tranquil state of Enlightenment suddenly receded like a tide.

The Black Dragon opened his eyes as well.

"Grandfather, why are you here?"

Three parts shock and seven parts confusion filled the Black Dragon's bell-sized eyes.

"Within the Dragon Palace, I sensed that the Karma Thread belonging to you had vanished."

"That was why I hurried over to investigate."

"What exactly happened here?"

As Ao Xue spoke, the pressure of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal bore down like seawater a million meters deep.

Cold, suffocating, despairing.

The Black Dragon's wounds, which had already healed, burst open once again beneath that pressure.

"Grandfather, what do you mean by this?"

The Black Dragon's aura was weak, but he still proudly raised his enormous dragon head.

Even under the pressure of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he displayed his own domineering presence.

Ao Xue looked at the Black Dragon without speaking.

The aura around him surged like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

A mere Golden Immortal actually dared speak to him like that.

This was a challenge to the dignity of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

After an unknown length of time in that oppressive atmosphere, Ao Xue suddenly withdrew his pressure.

He even smiled.

"As expected of a fine youth of my Dragon Clan."

"Seeing you attain Enlightenment, your grandfather could not help but feel delighted."

"I failed to properly restrain my aura."

"Ao Rui, tell me now."

"What exactly happened here?"

A mighty Grand Unity Golden Immortal could not control his own aura?

Though it was a clumsy excuse, the Black Dragon did not pursue the matter.

"In answer to Grandfather, I was originally in secluded cultivation."

"A Green Snake with a trace of Dragon Clan blood actually dared challenge me."

"Relying on a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, he deluded himself into thinking he could devour my bloodline."

"In the end, I killed him."

"I also took his Innate Spiritual Treasure."

As he spoke, the Black Dragon directly produced a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It was shaped like an umbrella, with five colors continuously shifting across its surface.

It hummed incessantly between the Black Dragon's claws.

Ao Xue took one look and confirmed that it was indeed a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It also bore the aura of another living creature.

At once, he believed more than half of the story.

Yet doubts still lingered in his heart.

"If you killed that Green Snake, why did the Karma Thread suddenly disappear?"

This was the doubt Ao Xue could not dispel.

A Karma Thread had vanished for no reason. Though it had not been long, countless changes could have occurred in that time.

"So Grandfather was worried about that."

"This grandson was just about to tell Grandfather the good news."

"During my battle with that Green Snake, I entered a wondrous state as well."

"And I comprehended the Law of Formations."

"The disappearance of the Karma Thread was likely related to my Enlightenment."

The Black Dragon spoke calmly.

Then, as if to prove it, the Black Dragon caused runes of the Law of Formations to light up, waves of lawful power spreading outward.

At that moment, even before Ao Xue, the connection between the Black Dragon and the Karma Thread weakened somewhat.

So that was it.

Ao Xue came to a sudden realization.

Though he did not know why comprehending the power of laws would temporarily conceal one's aura, the appearance of the Law of Formations just now had indeed proven it for an instant.

Moreover, Ao Xue carefully sensed both the Karma Thread and the aura of the Ao Rui before him.

There was no mistake. He truly was his descendant.

At last, all doubts vanished from his heart.

"I never expected that this misfortune would turn into a blessing for you, Ao Rui, allowing you to comprehend the Law of Formations."

"This proves your talent all the more."

"Your grandfather came in haste this time and did not prepare a congratulatory gift."

"Tell me what you want. Your grandfather will reward you with it all next time."

Having confirmed that Ao Rui was fine, Ao Xue became much more cheerful.

Whew.

I finally fooled that old bastard.

The Black Dragon sighed in relief inwardly.

This Black Dragon had naturally been transformed by Lin Changsheng.

This was not a simple transformation based on magical power.

It was Fetal Transformation and Easy Movement, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Arts.

One could become male or female, old or young, a divine bird or a strange beast.

One could freely transform into all things between heaven and earth.

It fully encompassed the wonders of all transformations in the cosmos.

That was Fetal Transformation and Easy Movement.

It was precisely because of this divine ability that Lin Changsheng's appearance and aura could deceive Ao Xue.

At the same time, Lin Changsheng had thoroughly destroyed all evidence, leaving Ao Xue unable to detect any abnormalities.

Even if he smelled dragon blood, it would merely be blood shed from his injuries during battle.

Next came Ao Xue's test through the pressure of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

It was a psychological contest.

If Lin Changsheng failed to endure it or revealed any flaw, the outcome was obvious.

Though he knew little about the Dragon Clan, from his brief exchange with the Black Dragon, he could tell that the Dragon Clan was unruly, domineering, and arrogant.

Therefore, he absolutely could not show weakness at a time like this.

Sure enough, Lin Changsheng had won his gamble.

Then there was the connection of karma.

Fortunately, Lin Changsheng had grasped the Great Dao of Karma and comprehended the divine ability of Karma Grafting.

Not only could this divine ability graft karma, but it could also reveal the connections between karmic ties.

Thus, there would basically be no major flaws.

Otherwise, even with a divine ability like Fetal Transformation and Easy Movement, he would not have dared disguise himself before a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

There was also the most important point: the top-tier talent, [Flawless Body].

This was what gave Lin Changsheng the confidence to do this.

[Flawless Body] was pure and flawless, untouched by karma.

It was precisely due to this trait that when Lin Changsheng actively grafted karma, he could perfectly transfer the karma belonging to the Black Dragon Ao Rui onto himself.

Every living creature accumulated all kinds of karma from the moment of its birth.

If karma were simply grafted, it would conflict with one's own Karma Threads. It would be easy to become unable to bear the karma and be destroyed.

But with this trait, Lin Changsheng was like a newly born living creature.

The Black Dragon's karma became his own, fitting him perfectly.

It could be said that the two divine abilities, Fetal Transformation and Easy Movement and Karma Grafting, could only allow Lin Changsheng to conceal himself temporarily.

The talent [Flawless Body] was the true trump card that allowed Lin Changsheng to face a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Finally, there was the sudden disappearance of the Karma Thread.

Lin Changsheng had directly blamed it on the Law of Formations.

When demonstrating it, he had also deliberately controlled the talent [Flawless Body], dispelling Ao Xue's final doubt.

Of course, what he had comprehended was not the Law of Formations.

It was a body-tempering cultivation technique.

Now was not the time to inspect it.

He first had to fool this old bastard completely.

After calling him Grandfather so many times, he had to collect some interest.

"Grandfather, if possible, ten or eight Innate Spiritual Treasures will do."
