I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 123 Breakthrough! Seventy-two changes!
When it was getting dark, Li Qingyun returned to his residence in the Hero Building, feeling a little disappointed.

Although he racked his brains and used every possible means, he was still unable to get any useful information from Mrs. Wei.

This messenger of the Wu Shi Sect seemed to have lost all his memories overnight. He was filled with confusion and bewilderment about his past and became an ordinary believer of the Tianmu Sect again.

Even her powerful cultivation had disappeared without a trace.

All her connections with the mysterious world seemed to have disappeared without a trace, as if they were erased from a painting.

This incident happened both abruptly and strangely. One has to know that the witches and shamans of the fourth realm have strange and ever-changing magical powers, making them quite difficult to kill. And even a strong man of the fifth realm may not be able to erase all her memories and all her connections with the mysterious world without killing her.

Now, among the two great masters of the Wu Shi Sect, Qiu Wang was killed, Madam Wei lost her memory, and the location of the divine descent ceremony has not been found yet. This means that the crisis of the "Faceless Immortal" descending on Bianliang City is far from over.

The clue is broken again...

Li Qingyun sighed slightly, sat in front of the table, and took out a strand of hair wrapped around his right index finger.

He secretly used the "Liuhe Zhensha" to block Mrs. Wei's five senses and took it from her head without anyone noticing, intending to use it as a guide for divination.

Li Qingyun certainly had no interest in helping the cultists regain their memories and skills, but since the investigation had once again reached a dead end, he could only try to figure out what had happened to Mrs. Wei so that he could find some new clues.

He took the hair, held it gently in his hand, closed his eyes and silently said:

"The reason why the owner of the item lost his memory..."

With the sacrifice of qi and blood, the faint, almost transparent outline of Madam Wei was projected onto the gray mist in the temple. Complex symbols glittering like mercury flowed on her body, constantly twisting and changing, full of unknown mysterious meanings.

The next moment, a giant claw appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the vague figure, and dragged it into the void of darkness...

The picture shattered and Li Qingyun woke up from his meditation.

He frowned, pondering the revelation from divination.

According to his knowledge of divination, the vague figure in the picture is Mrs. Wei's fate and also represents her destiny.

Those glowing runes are the marks she left in the long river of fate, constantly changing with the changes in fate.

However, this fate was forcibly taken away by some powerful force, which caused her to lose all memory of the mysterious world.

As for who stripped away Mrs. Wei's fate, there is no detailed revelation in the picture. This is the automatic warning protection of the divination power, preventing him from seeing powerful existence that he should not see, and thus suffering irreversible shock.

The only thing that is clear is that the mysterious giant claw carries a certain divinity and is a power from the spiritual world.

Although Li Qingyun had expected the result of divination, he felt more helpless.

To some extent, he had figured out what had happened, but this did not bring any new clues, nor could he use it to find out the true location of the divine descent ceremony.

……

In addition to the Faceless Immortal, the "Heavenly Mother" believed in by the Tianmu Religion also sent down evil oracles, and things became weird.

One god after another is trying to influence the human world. All this indicates that the end of the world is approaching.

In the city of Bianliang, there are ambitious people like Pang Yu who are plotting conspiracies. Even the Daxiangguo Temple, which rarely cares about worldly affairs, has made some moves. This makes Li Qingyun feel a sense of urgency and danger lurking on every side.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and prepared to start practicing his magical power of "acting".

Only by constantly improving your own strength can you survive in the coming chaos.

After adjusting his state through meditation, Li Qingyun looked at the large amount of energy and blood he had obtained from killing evil spirits in the Zhu family. He was full of confidence and decided to break through to the "Innate Realm" in one fell swoop tonight.

After closing his eyes and meditating, he immediately entered the majestic and mysterious palace and began to practice his newly acquired "Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong".

A large amount of Qi and blood gushed out, a small part of it was sacrificed and disappeared into the unknown, while most of it began to further temper the skin, flesh, and bones according to the description of the technique.

During the process of body refining, the tremendous force shattered and reshaped his body over and over again, and each time it was like experiencing nirvana.

Even though he had already broken through the four major barriers of tendons, bones, skin and flesh, Li Qingyun still felt that every tiny tissue in his body was trembling violently under the irresistible force. His muscles and bones seemed to be pierced by countless sharp blades, and the tearing pain almost suffocated him.

With the operation of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, the power of Qi and blood rushed into his body from all directions like a surging torrent, impacting his skin, flesh, bones, muscles, internal organs, and even blood and bone marrow.

The bones continued to crack under the tremendous pressure, making creepy shattering sounds, but the next moment they quickly healed under the guidance of that force and became stronger than before.

His skin and muscles were torn into pieces in the process, and then quickly grew back and became as tough as steel.

His internal organs were also repeating the process of being destroyed and reborn. During the countless repairs, his heart beat more powerfully and his lungs breathed longer and deeper. With every cycle, he could feel the nourishment of the tremendous power around him.

At the same time, in the temple, tens of millions of clones formed by the "Performing the Law" magical power were also experiencing the same process. The benefits they gained were also passed on to Li Qingyun without reservation. After countless reincarnations, his body finally adapted to this powerful force.

The pain becomes a deep workout, and every part of the body becomes more perfect and stronger.

His skin was no longer just hard, but flowing like mercury, emitting a faint crystal luster;
His bones were no longer merely solid, but full of elasticity and humanity;
His muscles were no longer just strong, but as solid as molten iron.

At this moment, Li Qingyun felt the perfect fusion of his body and this power. The powerful force was no longer just an external impact, but became a part of his body.

Each of his movements was full of explosive power and coordination. He seemed to be reborn from the ashes, becoming an immortal god of war with unparalleled strength and an unshakable body.

The first level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong - "Vajra Indestructible" has been successfully practiced!
[Remaining Qi and blood: One thousand three hundred and eighty-seven souls].

……

Li Qingyun opened his eyes and felt an unparalleled power hidden in his body, with an unbelievable feeling.

Although he had spent a lot of energy and blood, the degree of improvement from just the first level had already surpassed all his previous accumulation. The Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong deduced from the "Performing Method" magical power was simply unimaginable in its power!
This is the real extraordinary skill that is comparable to that of the gods!

Li Qingyun's breathing became a little rapid. He calmed himself down a little and continued to practice...

This time, he sat cross-legged on the throne, and his whole body was like a towering mountain, as solid as a rock.

As the technique was put into practice, both the innate and acquired true qi in his body were mobilized to the limit. The accumulated qi and blood power was poured into his dantian, then slowly rose and gradually flowed to every corner of the body.

This power is like a warm tide. Wherever it goes, the muscles and bones seem to be illuminated by warm sunshine. Every acupoint becomes fuller with the nourishment of Qi and blood.

As time went by, his body slowly adapted to the infusion of Qi and blood. The true Qi continued to circulate in his body, strengthening his already extremely tough bones and muscles.

Every time his true qi circulated, his body became stronger and his explosive power continued to increase, as if there was infinite energy hidden in his body.

Through meditation and introspection, Li Qingyun could clearly feel the power flowing in his body, constantly accumulating until it reached its peak.

The second level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong - "Xuanwu Divine Power" has been successfully cultivated!
[Remaining Qi and blood: 815 souls].

Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, feeling the endless power in his body. He threw a punch casually, and a deafening roar was heard in the air, as if the heaven and earth were moved.

At this moment, he possessed strength several times stronger than before, like the god of war King Kong, with unparalleled strength and a natural look.

Li Qingyun even had a premonition that even if he simply competed in strength with senior innate masters like Bai Yunrui and Xu Liang, he would not be at a disadvantage.

In his current state, even if he forcibly transforms his innate true qi and enters the fourth realm now, he will not be in danger of losing control. However, according to the records of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, it is best to wait until he has cultivated to the third level, accumulate a lot of energy, and then naturally enter the innate realm in a perfect manner. This way, there will be more room for subsequent improvement, and he will go further on the road of cultivation.

Looking at the remaining energy and blood, Li Qingyun decided to make a final push and continue practicing the third level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong.

With the sacrifice of qi and blood, Li Qingyun's true qi and strength reached the peak at the same time, and his body began to undergo drastic changes.

A large amount of qi and blood, combined with the mysterious power, began to reshape every part of his body.

Different from the tearing and reorganization during the first level of cultivation, the changes this time are even more miraculous.

His already elastic skin began to stretch and deform freely;

The muscles and fascia are reorganized into another form, able to withstand the pressure caused by various distortions, and are endowed with extremely strong adaptability and plasticity;
After being shaped, his bones became more flexible and able to withstand bending in various shapes and sizes.

After continuous practice and adaptation, Li Qingyun suddenly had an idea and began to try various changes in form.

As his mind directed, his arms could grow longer in an instant, his legs shorten in a split second, his head and neck could be as hard as steel at one moment and as soft as flowing water at another. Even the weight and shape of his body could be adjusted at will, just like clay that could be controlled freely.

This kind of arbitrary change and complete control over the body brings a great sense of accomplishment and power.

After continuous trials and adjustments by tens of millions of clones, Li Qingyun gradually adapted to the process of form change. His ability to change was perfectly integrated with his own will and strength. He could not only change the form of his body, but also imitate the characteristics of other life forms and even create a completely different appearance and aura.

In this process, he achieved perfect control over his own flesh, blood, breath and even mind. Unconsciously, he perfectly unified the essence, energy and spirit, and naturally merged them into innate true qi.

boom!
The last boundary beyond the mundane world was finally broken in one fell swoop!
From then on, Li Qingyun's body and spirit, true energy and will were no longer differentiated, and they became one, truly achieving the innate realm that all warriors dream of!

The third level of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong - "Seventy-two Transformations" has been successfully practiced!
[Remaining Qi and blood: ninety-seven souls].

……

Li Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, his bright eyes flashing with confidence and strength.

After entering the Innate Realm, his body has completely transformed, possessing infinite possibilities and powerful adaptability, becoming a true master of form change.

The number eight or nine, and seventy-two changes, this is a power that only exists in myths and legends.

A truly extraordinary ability!
Li Qingyun took a deep breath, and the true Qi in his body began to flow slowly. As his mind focused, his muscles began to wriggle, and his skin all over his body seemed to be flowing mercury. Strange changes occurred, and even his facial features were gently deformed under the guidance of the true Qi.

In just a few breaths, Li Qingyun transformed into the White-Eyebrowed Hero. He touched his throat and imitated his third brother Xu Liang's Shanxi Mandarin accent and said:
"You...you green-balled bastard..."

His voice was a little hoarse at first, but with subtle adjustments to his throat and vocal cords, it soon became shrill, just like Xu Liang's.

Li Qingyun grinned with satisfaction, then stretched out his right hand and gently wiped his face.

His skin immediately became rough and aged, with thin lips, a pair of bitch eyes, and two small black holes where his nose was. He looked exactly like the thin-necked, big-headed ghost Fang Shuan.

"Hmm... Hmm... Pack two roast chickens for me to take away..."

Li Qingyun learned two sentences and found that it was difficult for him to speak without a nose, so he laughed at himself and returned to his normal appearance.

Then he closed his eyes and imagined another form.

As the true energy flowed, his body changed dramatically. The next moment, a huge rat covered in black appeared in the middle of the room, scurrying around everywhere, making squeaking sounds.

Next, Li Qingyun turned into a fly, a mosquito, and even disguised himself as a table, chair, and bench, having a lot of fun.

After repeated experiments, he found that his seventy-two transformations had certain limitations.

At least for now, his body can only become as big as a house, and it cannot become smaller than a fly or mosquito. Perhaps as his strength increases and his control over his body improves, he may be able to do it in the future.

……

After the joy of being promoted gradually faded away, as his attention shifted, Li Qingyun suddenly discovered that a lot of mysterious knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind...
