The cave was completely destroyed, and all the bottles and jars that Ling Yi had made were overturned on the ground, with a pool of blood on the ground.
The Little White had disappeared.
"What happened?" Guanyin asked.
"My sister is missing," Ling Yi said coldly.
He had already activated his Perception to the maximum, but within a radius of ten kilometers, he could not Perception any Aura of the Little White.
"Your sister?" Guanyin frowned. She still hadn't realized that Ling Yi's true form was actually a snake.
Ling Yi's Transformation is different from magical Transformation; he transforms into whatever he wants, so it's normal that Guanyin didn't recognize him.
Guanyin for a while, Guanyin made hand seals and cast a " Light-Reversal Technique " spell. This Daoist Arts allows one to see past events within a certain range.
The stronger the power, the longer the time it takes to rewind.
For a veteran powerhouse like Guanyin, going back several hundred years is a piece of cake.
At this point, the advantage of magic over genetic evolution became apparent.
Ling Yi is on the path of perfect evolution, but he doesn't know magic.
Seeing this, Ling Yi's eyes lit up, and he reminded her, "It's been about a day or so until this time."
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Guanyin nodded, performed a magic spell, and in the next moment, the cave was restored to its original state.
Of course, this is not a true restoration, but rather a virtual scene Ying Yi, used to recreate the situation from a day ago.
Ling Yi first saw himself in the image; at this point, he was still in his original form.
It has a body covered in black scales, a pair of black fleshy wings on its back, six legs on its belly, a single horn on its head, and a pair of human-like eyes that are gently looking at the Little White beside it.
"Is this your true form?" Guanyin asked, quite surprised.
What kind of monster is this?
It looks like a jiao that hasn't yet Dragon Transformation, but dragons don't have wings, and there has never been a jiao with six legs.
Ling Yi nodded, but did not speak.
Guanyin knew this wasn't the time to ask that question, so she cast another spell, accelerating the scene's progression.
When Guanyin saw Ling Yi a mosquito and fly out of the cave, she was startled again. She had already noticed something amiss; this was not any kind of Technique of Changes she recognized, but rather a genuine transformation into another creature.
In Guanyin's view, this was almost impossible.
There are huge differences between species. Magic can only Transformation a person into other creatures, but it cannot truly change the essence of life forms.
It's somewhat like transformation, such as Dragon Transformation a jiao (蛟) or a human transforming into a demon. However, this kind of transformation can only happen once in a lifetime, and after transformation, one can only Changes between these two forms.
It seems that Ling Yi can transform into countless forms without such a limitation.
At this Guanyin, Ling Yi Ling Yi's cultivation method and realized its true value.
What does it mean to have a cultivation method that transcends the rules? It means that Ling Yi is not affected by the rules of Merit and Karmic Force, because Ling Yi does not need to Tribulation Transcendence, cultivate spells, or Wufa. Therefore, the constraints of the Heavenly Dao on Ling Yi will become negligible.
Of course, what Guanyin didn't know was that even if Ling Yi had cultivated magic, the Heavenly Dao wouldn't dare to do anything to Ling Yi. Guanyin didn't know what kind of being Ling Yi was, but the Heavenly Dao knew from the moment Ling Yi appeared.
Just like the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao of this world at this moment only hopes that Ling Yi won't cause too much trouble and will leave when he's had his fill.
The scene continued. About half a day after Ling Yi left, three middle-aged men dressed in linen shirts appeared in the cave.
They carried baskets on their backs and held short swords and snake-catching sticks in their hands.
They cautiously observed the snake for a moment, and only after confirming there was no danger did they finally approach the Little White.
Straight Moustache said excitedly, "I never expected to find a White Snake with some magical abilities. If we bring it back, the Ming Shi will definitely be very happy."
Another middle-aged man with a goatee laughed and said, "This time, we seem to have Foundation Establishment Stage technique. This trip to the Mount Juehuang will be a complete success."
The last man, a man with a slightly gloomy mustache, warned, "This is probably the lair of a spirit. We'd better leave as soon as possible, or we'll be in trouble if the spirit returns."
The other two nodded in agreement.
At that moment, the Little White was unaware of the danger that was approaching. Even when the three men grabbed her, put her in their baskets, and took her away, she did not wake up.
Seeing this, Ling Yi frowned; she was sleeping way too much.
Guanyin, however, discerned something and said, "This is the Little White's first cultivation. Right now, it's just instinctively Devouring Heaven and Earth the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to complete its first transformation. I'm afraid it won't wake up for a while."
"Cultivation?"
Ling Yi was taken aback. When did the Little White learn to cultivate?
" The White Snake didn't know how to cultivate before."
"Your sister must have encountered some fortuitous opportunity, perhaps receiving enlightenment from a master. This person's cultivation is very high, at least above mine; my Light-Reversal Technique couldn't detect their Aura."
Damn, he was only gone for a day, and so much has happened?
"Can you find my sister's current location?" Ling Yi asked Guanyin.
"Sure!" Guanyin nodded. As long as she knew the Little White's Aura, finding the person would be very easy for her.
Guanyin cast a spell into the air, and after a moment, Guanyin smiled and said, "Your sister is safe Wuyang. She has been rescued, and..."
"And what?" Ling Yi asked.
"Your sister has exceptional talent, and she cannot complete her first transformation through cultivation alone. In fact, this is a tribulation for your sister, but it is not a bad thing. After the tribulation, your sister's future cultivation will become extremely smooth."
Hearing Guanyin's words, Ling Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly said to Guanyin, "Bodhisattva, thank you."
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi opened his Ling Yi palm, and a small black ball slowly grew out of it.
This is a genetic ability that Ling Yi acquired a week ago from a single-celled organism with Parasitism and dividing capabilities.
It has two functions: Infinite Division and Parasitic Assimilation!
Infinite Division is easy to understand, while Parasitic Assimilation is about Parasitism other hosts and assimilating their genes.
This is equivalent to Sharing Ling Yi's current perfect genes with the host, allowing the host to also acquire Ling Yi's current genetic abilities.
But since it is assimilation Parasitism, the host being Parasitism is naturally subject to the control of the mother organism.
Ling Yi could cause the opponent's genes to collapse instantly if he so desired.
In addition, as a Parasitism host, it can also continue to evolve by acquiring more genes.
Ling Yi has no intention of causing trouble so far. Otherwise, with his Parasitic Assimilation technique and Infinite Division, all living beings in this world would slowly become Parasitism hosts and be controlled by Ling Yi.
For the past few months, Ling Yi has been acquiring genes from various organisms, but he has never seriously integrated his own abilities.
Basically, whatever genetic ability you acquire, you use that ability.
It's like having a hundred weapons in front of you; when the enemy charges, most people will choose the weapon closest to them.
With the enemy already here, there's no time to choose.
Ling Yi is in this state right now. He has too many abilities, so he doesn't have time to choose. He just picks the most useful one at random and uses it.
Just like this Parasitism ability, it was something Ling Yi suddenly remembered, without even realizing the terrifying power of this Infinite Division, Parasitic Assimilation.
"This isn't a cultivation technique; explaining it in detail would be too complicated. This is... a seed. Just eat it directly."
Ling Yi didn't know what a suitable name would be, so he just picked one out randomly.
Upon Guanyin this so-called "seed," Guanyin instinctively sensed immense danger, even though it possessed no Magic Power and its life Aura was as weak as that of an ant.
This led Guanyin to instinctively believe that Ling Yi intended to harm her.
At her level of cultivation, she never doubted her own senses.
However, before Guanyin could speak, Ling Yi had already taken the initiative to explain.
"After using the seed, one can strengthen oneself by acquiring the genes of other creatures. The seed contains a portion of memory information, and the Bodhisattva will naturally know how to use it after use."
At this point, Ling Yi's expression turned serious, and he said, "This is a perfect evolution; theoretically, it can become infinitely stronger."
"However, this thing is under my control. Once used, I can cause its body to collapse with a mere thought. Whether or not to use it is up to the Bodhisattva to decide."
Using it? Guanyin would naturally not use it; no one would willingly hand over their body to someone else to control.
Although they possess powerful Primordial Spirit and can regenerate their bodies even if they collapse, the fact that this thing can bring her a sense of danger means it's definitely not just about physical collapse.
Ling Yi's openness left Guanyin speechless. She explained both the advantages and disadvantages, and whether Ling Yi used the advice or not, she would have to bear the consequences herself.
"As expected, every power comes at a price. Put it away!" The Bodhisattva shook his head and ultimately refused to use it.
Ling Yi knew this would be the outcome, but he still said, "Keeping the Bodhisattva on my person might be useful in the future. I don't have anything else to thank the Bodhisattva for right now."
Guanyin nodded, and then put the "seed" into the Jade Purification Vase.
"Next, I'll need to trouble the Bodhisattva to guide me to my sister."
"It's nothing, just a small favor."
Afterwards, the two Mountain Splitting and flew south towards the Mount Juehuang.
During the flight, Ling Yi also learned about the general situation of this world from Guanyin.
This world is indeed a Primordial World.
But things changed starting with the Witch-Demon Calamity.
The Witch-Demon Calamity in this Primordial World was on a larger scale, involving more races, and almost half of all living beings in the Primordial World were drawn into it.
Among them, the Western Continent suffered the most, because this time the battlefield of the Witch-Demon Calamity was here, not near the original Mount Buzhou.
As for why the battlefield was moved to the western continent, Guanyin was not entirely clear.
"It is said that a mysterious and powerful figure appeared at that time, forcibly broke into Mount Buzhou and the Heavenly Court, and beat up the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Eastern Emperor Taiyi."
"Didn't Hongjun show up?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
" The Dao Ancestor did not appear; in fact, he has not appeared since the Witch-Demon Calamity Dao Ancestor!"
Ling Yi's expression was somewhat strange. Could this mysterious person be himself?
