Nine Heavens Mysterious Transformation, Incense Opened

After successfully transcending the tribulation, Jiang Changsheng remained suspended in the air, consolidating his cultivation, until sunset. Meng Qiushuang also dismissed her disciples, not daring to disturb him.

As dusk fell, Jiang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes. The golden lines between his brows disappeared. This was a Dao纹, the mark of the fifth layer of the Dao Follows Nature Skill, which could store spiritual energy, and perhaps had even more wonderful uses, but he had just come into contact with it and was not yet clear.

The Dao纹 could be hidden at ordinary times, which was very convenient.

Jiang Changsheng landed in the courtyard, his Daoist robe undamaged, his whole person light and breezy, full of vigor.

Hua Jian Xin came up and cupped her fists, saying, "Congratulations, Daoist Master, on the great increase in your martial arts."

Although she didn't know what the previous tribulation was all about, she felt that it should be related to the increase in Jiang Changsheng's strength.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and nodded, saying, "It can't be considered a great increase, I just comprehended the true meaning of heaven and earth."

Hua Jian Xin didn't understand but felt it was very impressive, and admired Jiang Changsheng even more.

Jiang Changsheng didn't say much to her, turned around and went back to the house, White Dragon followed, one person and one snake entered the house, Hua Jian Xin was stunned in place for a while, and then practiced martial arts in the courtyard.

Inside the house.

Jiang Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bed, and a line of words appeared in front of him:

[In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, your cultivation has improved, you have comprehended the true meaning of heaven and earth, and you have passed the Minor Heavenly Tribulation, and you have received a survival reward - the secret technique 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Transformation']

Secret technique?

It was the first time Jiang Changsheng had obtained a secret technique, and he was full of interest in it. He immediately accepted the memories of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Transformation, and a large amount of memory poured into his mind.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Transformation is a transformation technique that can be transformed into nine forms, from sparrows to mountains and buildings.

Not bad, not bad, good stuff!

Like the Illusory God Eyes, although it cannot qualitatively improve strength, it has infinite wonderful uses.

After Jiang Changsheng sorted out his memories, he began to practice the first level of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Transformation, the Sparrow Transformation!

That night, the disciples of the Dragon Arising Temple found it difficult to fall asleep, and many people in Jing City were also curious.

In the next five days, the news of the Dragon Arising Temple's Changsheng Daoist Master transcending the lightning tribulation spread, causing a stir throughout the city, and even the concubines in the palace were discussing it.

Killing the Ghost Eye Evil King when he was young, and transcending the lightning tribulation after adulthood!

The two deeds of Changsheng Daoist Master combined together were truly legendary and full of mystery.

More and more pilgrims came to the Dragon Arising Temple to burn incense, all wanting to see the demeanor of Changsheng Daoist Master, but Jiang Changsheng avoided leaving the courtyard, leaving them empty-handed. They were not angry because of this, but felt that it should be so.

How could immortals be so easy to see?

Inside the house.

After five days of cultivation, Jiang Changsheng finally learned the Sparrow Transformation, but it could only be maintained for five minutes. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Transformation consumed too much spiritual power, and could not be used easily at ordinary times.

Jiang Changsheng returned to his original appearance, and White Dragon stared blankly.

Just then.

Three lines of words appeared in front of Jiang Changsheng.

[Detected that you have obtained Incense, because your cultivation method does not belong to the way of this world, you have two options, you can only choose one]

[1. Abandon cultivation, and your spiritual power will be converted into the martial arts realm of this world – the Divine Human Realm]

[2. Continue cultivation. Immortals are above all living beings, revered by all things. The path of cultivation is the path of pursuing the Heavenly Dao. You can activate the Incense function]

Divine Human Realm?

Never even heard of it. It must be a realm above the Heaven Arrival Realm!

Jiang Changsheng directly chose the second option, to continue cultivating.

A cultivator beating a martial artist is simply a dimensionality reduction strike. He must persevere.

If he practiced martial arts, even if he became the best in the world, it would be impossible for him to suppress all the martial artists in the world alone. After all, they are on the same path of cultivation. But cultivation is different, the upper limit is unknown.

[Incense function activated. Incense luck can weaken the power of heavenly tribulations. For more functions and how to obtain incense, please explore on your own]

[Current Incense Value: 2]

Weaken the power of heavenly tribulations?

Jiang Changsheng recalled the lightning tribulation a few days ago, still feeling lingering fear.

In his previous life, he did set up an Incense function in the game. Cultivating to become an immortal and a god naturally meant enjoying the incense of the mortal world. Incense was linked to the luck of immortals and gods. He didn't expect the Survival System to bring other functions of the game to this world as well. The Incense function is not just for tribulation!

Two points of Incense Value meant that two people had erected statues and tablets for him, and then burned incense to worship him. Being able to do this meant that they already regarded him as a belief.

Wait, even the Incense function has appeared, then other functions...

Jiang Changsheng felt a fire in his heart. He was a game developer, and the system seemed mysterious, but he knew it very well.

All the functions in the game required players to trigger them during their cultivation journey, instead of being given directly.

In addition, judging from the previous prompt, cultivation does not belong to the path of this world. He is likely to be the only cultivator.

"Incense is indeed very valuable, but I can't mess around. I can create some anomalies in the Dragon Arising Temple to increase its popularity. The Incense Value should increase. Even if someone dislikes me, they can come and give me Survival Rewards."

Jiang Changsheng thought silently. He didn't know if the Great Jing Dynasty had any Divine Human Realm experts, so he still had to be careful. Not entering the world was also for safety reasons. What if there were more prosperous martial arts civilizations outside the Great Jing Dynasty?

Better safe than sorry!

In the early stage of life, one must work hard to cultivate. Anyway, his lifespan is infinite, and he can rule the world after he is strong enough.

Of course, before that, the palace still has to be visited!

Jiang Changsheng's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

A month later, Jiang Changsheng completely mastered the Nine Heavens Mysterious Transformation. On this day, Jiang Yuan came to visit him again. In addition to asking for pills, he was very curious about his tribulation. Jiang Changsheng did not say that it was a breakthrough in cultivation, but said that the immortals and gods were guiding him, which made Jiang Yuan stunned.

After Jiang Yuan left, that night, Jiang Changsheng put on a wooden mask, changed into a tattered black Daoist robe, and then set off for the palace.

He stepped on the Taihang Sword and flew with the sword, directly flying from the top of Dragon Arising Temple Mountain into the palace.

His senses were far beyond ordinary people. From afar, he could see the Imperial Guards patrolling outside the palace. He found a corner that no one noticed and flew in. After landing, he gently put the Taihang Sword into its scabbard and began to move forward in the palace.

Late at night, the palace was deserted, with frogs croaking, and eunuchs patrolling with lanterns from time to time.

Relying on the Nine Seeking Heavenly Dragon Steps, Jiang Changsheng easily avoided the eyes of those eunuchs. He traced the fluctuations of true qi all the way and found that there were really many experts in the palace. There were at least fifty Peerless Experts, including concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs.

Great Jing Dynasty's Imperial Palace, a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.

Jiang Changsheng walked along, sighing with emotion.

Passing by a garden, he heard some sounds. He paused to listen, and the sounds came from deep within the garden.

"How annoying."

"My little darling, a little lower..."

"There are too many mosquitoes here, can't we find another place, you rascal."

"Oh, let's just make do with what we have, hurry up, you're killing me..."

Jiang Changsheng was speechless. Was the Imperial Palace this chaotic?

How disgusting!

Jiang Changsheng stopped and listened carefully. After a while, he recognized the identities of the two people. The woman was a palace maid, and the man was a eunuch.

Can eunuchs do this kind of thing?

Jiang Changsheng thought of how castration in some dynasties of his previous life wasn't always thorough.

He shook his head. Since it wasn't his imperial father being cuckolded, he couldn't be bothered to care and continued on his way.

The Imperial Palace was very large. Jiang Changsheng used his divine sense to explore along the way. He was looking for true qi fluctuations, so he didn't need to enter the rooms of the imperial concubines or palace maids. He didn't have such disgusting tastes.

There were many true qi fluctuations, but none of them reached the Heaven Arrival Realm.

Heading north, he arrived at the northern district of the Imperial Palace. Jiang Changsheng suddenly stopped. His gaze fell on an extremely desolate palace courtyard, with no palace maids or eunuchs coming or going. The entire palace courtyard was occupied by only one person.

Could this be the legendary Cold Palace?

No way!

A Heaven Arrival Realm expert was thrown into the Cold Palace by the emperor?

Jiang Yuan was so domineering?

Jiang Changsheng wore a wooden mask, not afraid of revealing his identity, and walked directly towards the palace courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, he noticed that the yard was overgrown with weeds, obviously untended for a long time, but there were many shocking palm prints on the walls of the side hall next to it.

Jiang Changsheng walked directly towards the main hall, not afraid of disturbing the other party.

Having arrived here, he could already judge the other party's true qi level.

Only about ten times that of the Devil Master.

Jiang Changsheng arrived at the front door and gently pushed it open.

As soon as he pushed it open, a strong wind swept in, causing the two doors to slam against the wall with a bang. Jiang Changsheng's tattered Daoist robe fluttered in the wind, but his figure was as heavy as Mount Tai, unmoving.

"What is your purpose in entering the Imperial Palace late at night, sir?"

A cold and hoarse female voice sounded, her tone full of killing intent.

Jiang Changsheng used his spirit energy to stimulate the meridians in his throat, making a hoarse and muffled sound: "I heard that there is a Heaven Arrival Realm expert in the imperial palace, unparalleled in the world. I wanted to come and see. Your Excellency's cultivation is so profound, yet you are willing to stay in this desolate Cold Palace?"

The cold female voice snorted: "What does it have to do with you? Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a strong wind attacked again from the darkness. Jiang Changsheng moved his right foot slightly, and his spirit energy erupted, sending the incoming figure flying back, followed by a heavy sound of crashing against the wall.

"You... how is it possible... you are not Sky Penetrating... you are a higher realm!"

The cold female voice cried out in horror. If such a strong person broke into the imperial palace, who could resist?

Jiang Changsheng sighed in his heart: "I am really too strong."

He asked, "What is your relationship with the emperor? Tell me. If you explain clearly, I can spare your life and not disturb anyone in the imperial palace. If you don't explain clearly, after tonight, the Great Jing will have a new master."

The other party's panting echoed in the dim hall. Jiang Changsheng squinted and could only see that the other party's hair was disheveled and their body was dirty, making it impossible to see their true appearance.

"Hehe... you threaten me with my life... you threaten me with him..."

The cold female voice gradually became manic, with a hysterical feeling.

Jiang Changsheng frowned under the mask. Could this person be crazy?

No wonder she was thrown into the Cold Palace!

Jiang Changsheng was just guessing and didn't believe it easily. If she wasn't afraid of death and didn't care about the emperor, why would she linger in the Cold Palace until now?

He suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the other party in the next second, pressing a palm on their forehead. The terrifying killing intent made the other party unable to move.

"This cultivation..."

The other party's eyes widened, and through the gaps in their messy hair, one could see those eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, like a fierce ghost from hell.

Jiang Changsheng looked down at her and said, "Twenty-one years ago, the Empress gave birth to a son, and Eunuch Li switched him. Do you know about this?"

The other party's pupils clearly dilated, obviously extremely disturbed.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I know!"

"Why did the emperor do this? Was it to suppress the Yang Family?"

"I don't know... but it's definitely not like that..."

Jiang Changsheng frowned even tighter and asked, "What is the true identity of the fake Crown Prince?"

The other party was silent.

"Presumptuous, breaking into my imperial palace, today I will definitely make sure you don't return!"

A domineering shout came from outside the hall. Jiang Changsheng remained unmoved. He had already sensed Jiang Yuan's arrival and happened to have some things to ask Jiang Yuan.
