Coordinates, Crooked Paths
Li Yunjing tried the giant bear's other antler and found the same result; it was also a plugin.
"Strange, what's going on?" Li Yunjing looked at the two deer antlers in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing recalled a very ancient matter.
A long time ago, at least 300,000 years ago,
At that time, Tianyuan was very prosperous, and all kinds of cultivators emerged one after another.
Some cultivate by properly absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, some by devouring people, some by properly Body Refining, and some even follow the path of ghost immortals...
It can be said that the cultivation world of Tianyuan at that time was a place where a hundred flowers bloomed.
The reason for this was that at that time, the leader of the Tianyuan had not yet been determined, there were few rules, and therefore no taboos.
In such an environment, a type of cultivator emerged to transform people.
"Modified human" is the term given by Li Yunjing; in Tianyuan, such cultivators are called "Body Casting Apprentices."
The core of the Body Casting Disciples' cultivation lies in transforming their own bodies. They believe that their bodies are like Law Treasure, which can be actively forged, modified, and even reforged.
Under this belief, the Body Casting Forgers would collect all sorts of things.
For example, metals, jade, even the hands, feet, and internal organs of other cultivators, and even the scales and horns of Demon Beast.
Body Casting Forgers attach collected items to their own bodies, thereby gaining various wondrous Law Technique.
To ensure a smooth installation, the Cultivation Method practiced by the Body Casting incorporates a certain degree of self-harm.
They would first modify their bodies to fit the shape, and then install the collected items onto them.
Once the body modification is complete, it will resemble this giant bear.
If you can obtain the dragon horns, then all you need to do is remove the deer antlers and attach the dragon horns.
There are absolutely no other unnecessary steps.
If Body Casting has a fortuitous encounter when their cultivation level is low and obtains some powerful treasures, once these treasures are installed on their body, they will gain power surpassing that of others in the same cultivation level.
This caused the number of Body Casting Forgers to surge dramatically.
However, the flourishing of diverse styles gradually disappeared, and orthodox Qi Refining cultivators took the lead.
As more and more cultivators gained power, they began to rectify the situation and restore order.
Those evil and heretical practitioners were all wiped out by the legitimate Qi Refining cultivators.
Although the Body Casting ' cultivation method may not seem like that of Outer Dao, in essence, they are no different from evil or Outer Dao.
After all, Body Casting Disciples sometimes need to kill to satisfy their cultivation needs.
Thus, the art of Body Casting declined, its skill dwindling and its numbers dwindling.
Although the number has decreased sharply, it still maintains a certain level of vitality.
Because only those Body Casting Apprentices who killed people to cultivate were eliminated, while those who killed Demon Beast to Body Casting were not purged.
However, these Body Casting Apprentices, having killed too many Demon Beast, were also targeted by the Demon Race and were eventually Demon Race out.
Thus, the history of the Body Casting Sect came to an end.
It has only existed for about ten thousand years.
Although the time was short, the reputation was considerable.
The situation of this giant bear is very similar to that of the Body Casting Disciples.
"Could it be that someone obtained the Cultivation Method of the Body Casting and used them on Demon Beast?" Li Yunjing wondered to himself.
Just then, Li Yunjing suddenly looked up and gazed at the distant sky.
His Divine Sense detected fluctuations in spiritual energy; someone was approaching.
Li Yunjing made a Method Formula, and his figure instantly merged with his surroundings.
This is the Conceal Breath Instruction; those whose cultivation level does not exceed Li Yunjing's will not be able to detect Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing stood quietly to the side, watching.
Not long after, a beam of light suddenly descended from the sky.
From the light emerged a monster with a tiger's head, a human body, and a snake's tail.
Upon seeing the giant bear in the depression, the monster immediately roared in anger.
"Who did this to my teddy bear!?"
The monster hurriedly swam to the giant bear's side, carefully examined it, and after confirming that the giant bear was lifeless, the monster became very angry.
The snake's tail lashed outwards repeatedly, the loud thuds echoing through the sky, sending earth and rocks flying.
Beside him, Li Yunjing looked serious; he hadn't expected to actually encounter a Body Casting Apprentice here.
The monster before them was already a standard Body Casting Forger.
He was even a highly skilled Body Casting apprentice.
Ordinary Body Casting apprentices only work on their own hands and feet, since if something goes wrong there, the damage won't be significant, nor will it endanger their lives.
Slightly stronger Body Casting Disciples will attack their own bodies.
As for the head, only those with extremely high Body Casting dare to make a move.
After all, failure would mean certain death.
Except for its body and two hands, the monster in front of us has been completely replaced.
His cultivation had also reached the Golden Core Perfection, which was astonishing.
"Damn it, the little bear only needs to eat ten more people to break through, then I can kill the little bear, take its antlers, and help me Nascent Soul Condensation."
"You've ruined my Dao Path! No matter who you are, I will kill you!" The monster's expression was ferocious and furious.
Anyone Dao Path has been disrupted would feel the same intense anger as him.
After all, the difference between the Golden Core Perfection and the Nascent Soul Condensation is not small.
"Could it be Fu Qingyang!? This guy has been openly and secretly competing with me; the position of Grand Elder is something we've been vying for."
If Nascent Soul Condensation, the position of Grand Elder will surely be mine, so he plans to strike first?
But the question is, how did he know I kept the teddy bear here?
The monster, however, calmed down and began to think carefully.
Li Yunjing, standing nearby, was quite surprised to hear the monster talking to itself.
Judging from the monster's words, there was actually a sect of Body Casting Apprentices.
"How many people have fallen victim to the poisonous hands of a sect that Body Casting?" Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
Upon realizing this, Li Yunjing's expression turned serious.
This cannot be ignored.
Li Yunjing had some sympathy, but his motivation was more about achieving merit.
The Body Casting Apprentice is also on the Immortal Alliance's wanted list.
Although the Body Casting Clan was wiped out for various reasons, the Immortal Alliance still listed them on its wanted list.
Now that he had encountered a true Body Casting disciple, Li Yunjing felt he couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
Killing this group of Body Casting Apprentices and destroying one of their Body Casting would surely bring considerable merit.
Li Yunjing then withdrew his Method Formula, and he was immediately exposed.
The monster noticed Li Yunjing and its gaze swept over him.
A surging, overwhelming tiger-like aura suddenly swept over Li Yunjing.
The tiger's imposing presence was terrifying, as if one were facing a ferocious and malevolent tiger.
If it were a cultivator of the same realm, they would definitely be intimidated by this monster.
Unfortunately Li Yunjing was Nascent Soul Cultivator, and the tiger's might only startled Li Yunjing slightly before he felt nothing else.
"How could it be ineffective!?"
The monster was taken aback when it saw Li Yunjing standing there with a curious expression, unfazed by its imposing presence.
At the same time, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart; this person in front of him... might be no ordinary person.
"Body Casting disciples... a heretical and unorthodox practice," Li Yunjing said.
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed the monster's face.
He forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Could you be one of those self-proclaimed guardians of the Heavenly Dao?"
Li Yunjing smiled and shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator passing by, don't misunderstand."
Seeing you today, I only have one thing to say: either you kill me, or I kill you.
