Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 361 The Golden Crow Transforms, One Transformation, One Life; The Blood Pool of the Witch Clan; The Prodigy of Shangqing

Sensing this change, Di Xiao became even more eager. He immediately drew more essence blood from the blood pool and began a new round of refining.

For a long time, Di Xiao continued refining the essence. Xue Dingshan and the others, however, chose to give up one by one. Then, with faces full of frustration and helplessness, they looked at the Golden Crow's corpse and the blood pool formed from its essence.

Although these treasures are precious, they are only meant to be seen but not used by them, which is too torturous for them.

Refining the Golden Crow's essence blood was already a headache due to its intense heat. Not to mention the will of Hou Yi shooting down the suns contained within it. Only Di Xiao was an exception, possessing sufficient foundation and resources to refine it.

Especially as Di Xiao's refining speed increased, he directly jumped into the blood pool and began to cultivate the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang.

However, as he cultivated, the mysteries contained within the Golden Crow's essence blood gradually imprinted themselves on Di Xiao's mind.

[Your extraordinary comprehension allowed you to perceive traces of the Dao within the Golden Crow's essence blood as you refined it. These traces then coalesced, ultimately transforming into a fragment of the Great Sun Golden Crow Scripture, a fragment of the body-refining manual, the Nine Transformations of the Golden Crow, and a divine power, the Golden Crow's Cry, the Great Sun Three Thousand.]

[Your extraordinary comprehension allowed you to perceive the essence of Hou Yi shooting down the suns contained within the Golden Crow's blood essence. From this, you comprehended Hou Yi's sun-shooting arrows, ultimately developing a method of killing—the Divine Arrow Technique for Shooting the Sun, a causal bow and arrow born from your understanding of cause and effect…]

Your extraordinary comprehension has allowed you to perceive the arrows of time and space from the mark of the Sun-Shooting Arrow.

Soaring through the ocean of wisdom and enlightenment, Di Xiao continuously digests the insights and profound teachings he has gained from the essence of the Golden Crow.

The experience of understanding the imprint of the Sun-Shooting Arrow was particularly rewarding.

"As expected of Hou Yi, one of the top great shamans of the Wu Clan. His art of archery is all-encompassing and unparalleled in its mystery. He uses the Dao as his bow and the Dao as his arrow, condensing the bow and arrow of the Great Dao to shoot down all enemies."

"Hou Yi's arrows contain cause and effect; shooting is the cause, hitting the target is the effect. They contain time; the arrows traverse time. Anyone below the Great Luo realm is simply not qualified to withstand such an arrow. The same applies to the arrows of space..."

"However, although Hou Yi's bow and arrows contain many great principles, their core cultivation is still the physical body, and the great principle inherent in his bloodline is the Great Principle of Kingship. Such a great principle somewhat touches upon my blind spots in knowledge."

Although Di Xiao knew that the primordial world had given rise to three thousand Great Daos, he didn't really have a clear understanding of how many of these three thousand Great Daos actually included. After all, the Great Daos that Di Xiao cultivated and knew were mostly relatively famous, or Great Daos that many people cultivated.

Among the three thousand Great Daos, there are always some relatively obscure ones with fewer cultivators, leading to a lack of understanding.

Although Di Xiao was curious about the Kingly Dao that was multiplying within the Great Witch Hou Yi's body, now was not the time to focus on that. He rapidly digested his many insights and didn't think about creating any new methods. Instead, he concentrated on refining the Golden Crow's essence blood and cultivating the Golden Crow Transformation.

Many years have passed, and Xue Dingshan and the others have long since completed their cultivation.

Unfortunately, they were ultimately unable to withstand the power of the Sun-Shooting Arrow within the Golden Crow's essence blood, and could only cultivate relatively superficial techniques. Their utilization of the Golden Crow's essence blood was pitifully small.

In other words, Di Xiao had enough resources to digest all of this. Now they were all watching Di Xiao, who was enveloped in the essence of the Golden Crow's blood, and watching his cultivation.

As Xue Dingshan and his companions observed, they gradually noticed changes in Di Xiao's physical body. Originally a perfect human form, golden wings were now gradually emerging from his body. Then, Di Xiao's arms transformed into wings, his legs into claws, and his head…

Little by little, the changes eventually transformed Di Xiao from human form into a golden crow.

"Cry..." A profound Daoist sound burst forth from the blood pool, instantly spreading across the vast sun. The rolling sound waves carried heat and majesty, dispelling countless true sun flames and causing the true sun flames to rise accordingly.

For a moment, the endless Great Sun True Fire seemed to have gained wisdom and cheered.

Amidst such cheers, Di Xiao spread his wings and flew into the starry sky. The fire spirits that had gained sentience and transformed into three-legged golden crows seemed to see their emperor, and they were all excited and roared.

"Haha..." Di Xiao's loud laughter rang out as he felt the changes within himself, the scorching flames, and the transformation of his physical body: "Is this the Golden Crow Transformation? Is this the Thirty-Six Transformations? Is this the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers? Powerful, powerful..."

"The Golden Crow Transformation made me truly like a three-legged golden crow, granting me not only the talent of a three-legged golden crow but also the supernatural powers of the three races of golden crows, further enhancing my strength."

"Moreover, mastering one of the Heavenly Gang Transformation Techniques allowed me to undergo a metamorphosis, transforming my physical body and granting me an extra life. If I were to suffer a fatal injury in the future, I could use the Thirty-Six Transformations of Heavenly Gang, sacrificing my Golden Crow Transformation to take the place of my original self's demise. These thirty-six transformations are equivalent to thirty-six lives!"

"Secondly, the transformation of the Golden Crow accelerated my understanding of the Great Dao of Fire, the Great Sun Dao, and the Pure Yang Dao, making it easier to cultivate some fire-based divine abilities and great sun divine abilities."

Having experienced the changes after mastering the Golden Crow Transformation, Di Xiao was extremely satisfied. He couldn't help but admire the power of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang.

As expected of a divine ability renowned in later generations, it is indeed so wondrous and powerful. Thinking of this, Di Xiao also wanted to master the Thirty-Six Transformations as soon as possible. Of course, Di Xiao also knew that different cultivation methods for the Thirty-Six Transformations, and different choices, would lead to different levels of strength.

At the very least, the divine beast blood essence chosen for cultivating the Thirty-Six Transformations must not only be compatible but also powerful. The more refined the cultivation, the greater the resulting enhancement.

Contemplating his future cultivation, Di Xiao reverted to his true form, unleashing a surge of Great Sun True Fire as he landed before the crowd.

At this moment, Xue Dingshan and the others gathered around: "Good heavens, Brother Di Xiao has really mastered the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang. And the first transformation is the Golden Crow Transformation, so his strength must have increased greatly. It seems that my idea of ​​surpassing Brother Di Xiao can only be shattered."

Xue Dingshan was filled with emotion. He had known Di Xiao since Di Xiao was young and had watched Di Xiao grow up. But now, so many years had passed, and Di Xiao's cultivation had surpassed his own, which filled him with mixed feelings.

The other young generals also praised him, while Zhao Yinman said nothing, only looking at Di Xiao with a proud gaze, clearly proud of the husband she had chosen.

Upon hearing such remarks, Di Xiao said with great magnanimity, "Haha... don't flatter me. Quickly find a way to collect some Golden Crow essence blood, and after this trial at Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum is over, see if we can find a master in the Tang Dynasty to erase the mark of the Sun-Shooting Arrow. Then, refine the Golden Crow essence blood and cultivate the Golden Crow Transformation."

"Brother Di Xiao, there's no need to remind us of that. We've already taken a lot of essence blood." Each cunning gaze clearly wasn't going to let go of such a good resource before them.
