Chapter 179 The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang: The True Dragon Transformation
"For example, when we went to clean up the Soul-Calling Secret Realm this time, the people who lost their souls in this secret realm were actually the people of Lin Family Village, and even the ancestral hall was pulled into the secret realm."

"Although the Realm Lord had already killed the Dream Soul Demon, the Soul Calling Secret Realm is still connected to the Dream Realm and influenced by the God's Dew. It even seems to be expanding."

Lu Han said, "I also tried to educate them. Some of the Lin family ancestors regained their senses and knew that the Realm Lord had brought out the seeds of hope, so they were relatively friendly. As a result, I had some opportunities and learned a supernatural power this time, which can be used to marry dreams."

“Since these dead outsiders can be pulled into the secret realm, including the City God’s previous attempt to transform all the city’s inhabitants into Rakshasa demons to enter the secret realm, then the people of the secret realm must have a way to come out of the secret realm and become outsiders.”

Song Wuji said, "That's hard to say, but let's follow my method. You try to educate the people of the secret realm. Those people of the secret realm whose information is recorded in the register of people are not allowed to enter the city. Instead, establish villages and settlements outside the city to restrict their movements and observe them for a while."

The Soul Calling Secret Realm doesn't yield as much as the Tiger Fang Secret Realm. It only has some dream materials, including a type of dream mushroom that you can try to grow, but it's not considered a dedicated source. Another possibility is that you might learn soul-related supernatural abilities or spells.

However, it is still quite eerie, and it seems to be nourished by the Emperor's Dew or something, as this secret realm is still expanding.

Song Wuji said, "The Soul-Calling Secret Realm originated from the Soul-Calling Shore. Its essence is panic and terror, which spread like a plague. Its expansion may be due to the absorption of fear, or the dream world may be like that chaotic underworld, invading the real world."

"No matter what, we must stop its expansion. Instructor Lü, you and Chen Xiu will enter the secret realm of vegetarianism to assist him in confiscating the homes of those monks and temples, and to rebuild our order. You can choose whoever you need. Similarly, if you discover any talented people there, you can register them in the register of people and bring them out of the secret realm."

Song Wuji has fully embraced the role of a qualified city lord.

Lu Han nodded, then immediately named a few people and decided to take them into the vegetarian monk's secret realm.

Song Wuji agreed to all of them, and with the military officer's order and household order, he dispatched them one by one into the secret realm of the monks to complete the task of confiscating their property.

With such troop deployment, the city's defenses became somewhat weak. Song Wuji didn't wander around, focusing solely on cultivation and handling some administrative matters along the way.

Cultivation, in reality, is not much to cultivate; it mainly relies on refining and consuming the original demonic energy and original divinity.

However, once the three treasures all reach 18, and the total reaches 54, refining these primordial demonic energies will not increase the three treasures at all. One can only comprehend illusions and learn skills by stealing from others.

When Song Wuji broke through to the ninth rank without entering the first rank, the threshold for the Three Treasures was 3 points. When he broke through to the eighth rank, the threshold was 10 points. Now that I think about it, the threshold for breaking through to the seventh rank should be 20 points. Song Wuji has not yet completed the eighth rank ritual, nor has he invited the ghosts and gods. Once he completes the seventh rank ritual, it will be difficult for him to break through the shackles and constraints on the basic Three Treasures.

However, with the Three Treasures reaching 18 points and the Three Talents of Peace increasing by 1/3, Song Wuji's Three Treasures have essentially broken through the 20-point mark, reaching 24 points, a truly terrifying value that only a seventh-grade demon possesses.

Because if it were a human, like Chen Xiu, who was at the eighth rank, his three treasures would only have around 5 points at the beginning. No matter how much they increased later, only his essence and qi would reach around 8 points, while his divine will would still be around 5 points.

To attain a higher level in the human realm, one relies more on one's own skills, such as martial arts or weapons. However, ordinary demons and monsters, without the right opportunity, can only rely on accumulating their own stats.

Just like the savages of African tribes, who hunt wild beasts with spears, even lion prides have to avoid their sharp edge, but they themselves do not have the powerful spirit of a lion, but rely on their superb hunting skills.

Chen Xiu's Demon-Hunting Archery is the same; he has even awakened a talent called "Stealing," which allows him to extract materials from demons.

Song Wuji was different. Relying on the supernatural power of food consumption and the remnant of the Kitchen God's skill, he forcibly broke through his own innate potential. Not only did he have a terrifyingly high number of stats, but he could also steal skills from the enemies he defeated and killed.

It belongs to a great demon in human form, otherwise it would not have been able to fight the seventh-rank Bodhisattva Xiao alone. Although most of the seventh-rank abilities of this Bodhisattva Xiao are in the Impure Treasure Tree and the Pure Land Treasure Tree, Song Wuji seems to have cheated again, passing on the fire and gathering fuel, with each person borrowing 0.01 points of the Three Treasures, piling himself into a pure numerical monster.

However, although the growth of the three treasures stagnated, the extras were not wasted. They were distributed equally among Song Wuji's torchbearers, basically including all the people in the city.

These few treasures, distributed among ten or twenty thousand people, are better than nothing. After all, the quality of Song Wuji's treasures is different from that of ordinary people's treasures, so everyone still received some tangible benefits.

He borrowed and returned, and occasionally even received some benefits in return. When he encountered difficulties again and needed to gather resources, he could borrow more from the person who had passed on the torch. In addition, he learned the complete set of White Tiger series martial arts.

The entire set of martial arts was cultivated by the White Tiger Star Lord. There was a remnant of one or two moves contained in the White Tiger Fragment. After being evolved by the White Tiger Cangxuan, it consisted of three moves, called "White Tiger Instant Kill Three Moves".

This is not complete, nor is it the original version, but it surpasses the current level. It is a powerful martial arts technique that can be used by those at the seventh rank or even the sixth rank. Moreover, it consists of killing moves, each requiring all-out effort and consuming a great deal of energy. It also subtly involves some of the rules of heaven and earth.

These are the White Tiger Instant Kill Slash, the White Tiger Blade-Holding Slash, and the White Tiger Metal Slash.

The White Tiger Instant Kill has the word "instant" in it, meaning it is extremely fast and can almost break through space, similar to killing someone with a flash. It was a skill that Song Wuji learned from the tiger demon.

The White Tiger Blade-Holding Slash requires Song Wuji to use the Heavenly Dipper Transformation to transform into a white tiger, holding a blade in its mouth. It is a move that draws upon the power of the Western White Tiger constellation, carrying the overwhelming force of heaven and earth's killing intent.

The White Tiger Geng Metal Slash focuses on Geng metal, requiring the absorption of Geng metal energy to forge an invisible Geng metal sword energy, which is then attached to the divine weapon, ultimately achieving a unity of man and weapon, possessing ultimate sharpness.

Of the three, one move subtly involves space, one involves celestial phenomena, and one involves the element of Geng metal in the Five Elements.

Song Wuji's current mastery of the technique is only at a minor level, not at a major level. If it were a major level...

In theory, the White Tiger Instant Kill Slash can unleash a blade of space, the White Tiger Blade-Holding Slash can manipulate celestial phenomena, cleave mountains and rivers, and the White Tiger Metal Slash can sever everything within the Five Elements.

Aside from these three deadly moves, Song Wuji also observed a set of "Dragon Form Fist" from the original demonic energy of the Luohu Python. The "Dragon Claw Skill" manual that Luo Chuan practiced, which he obtained from a treasure chest in a secret realm, was just one variation of it.

Unlike Tiger Style Boxing, which focuses on strengthening the bones, Dragon Style Boxing focuses on strengthening the tendons, specifically the major tendons of the spine.

There are four layers: snake, python, jiao, and dragon.

By developing snake-like tendons, one can increase one's strength and flexibility, making it easier to practice things like yoga.

By developing the python tendons, one can increase their tendons and bones by 2 points, becoming not only flexible but also possessing the strength of a python and powerful muscle control.

By cultivating the dragon tendons, one can gain an additional 3 points of tendon and bone strength and 1 point of innate talent, and begin to possess unimaginable superhuman strength and explosive power, undergoing a complete transformation from tendons to bones.

By cultivating the Dragon Tendon, one can gain an additional 4 points of bone and tendon strength and 2 points of innate root ability. At this point, one can even possess "Dragon Power".

In other words, the Dragon Form Fist can increase one's bone strength by a full 10 points and innate talent by 3 points. Bone strength and innate talent represent one's aptitude for cultivation.

This method is an enhanced version of the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic).

However, this method is difficult to practice. Ordinary people can probably only develop snake tendons to increase their body's flexibility. Even python tendons are hard to develop, let alone jiao tendons or dragon tendons.

Even the Luohu python only mastered the python tendons, never reaching the level of the dragon tendons.

However... once you've refined the dragon tendons, you can try refining the true dragon scales. At that time, you'll gain a new transformation ability, namely the [True Dragon Transformation], which is one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Transformation Techniques, just like the White Tiger Transformation.

But with only one true dragon scale, what emerges is either a jiaolong (a type of dragon) or a young dragon, rather than an adult true dragon.
