He turned his enormous head, as large as a mountain, and looked around. The sea below, the distant icebergs, the clouds in the sky, everything seemed tiny—except for the North Sea Giant Kuo nearby, gazing at him with curious eyes, its body nearly a thousand meters long.

"Speaking of... Why is the Giant Kuo I transformed into so small?" Xiao Jie was a bit frustrated as he made the comparison. Over three hundred meters in length, it would be considered colossal anywhere, but compared to this "big brother" beside him, nearly a thousand meters long, it suddenly appeared "petite" and "youthful."

"It must be due to the level and cultivation." Xiao Jie quickly figured out the key, "This North Sea Giant Kuo must have lived for countless millennia, with a level over 90. I’m only at level 47, with my Dharma Aspect just formed; being this size is already quite good. As my level rises and cultivation deepens, the Dharma Aspect will naturally grow as well."

Having adapted to the weight and sense of power of the Giant Kuo’s form, Xiao Jie couldn’t wait to try out the legendary transformation.

Innate Divine Ability—Kunpeng Transformation!

With another thought, the massive body of the Giant Kuo was once again enveloped in dazzling light! This time, it was the azure and golden light of wind and thunder! The mountain-like body began to undergo a more intense transformation, gradually shrinking and elongating, the dark gray skin peeling away to transform into dense feathers with a metallic sheen, glowing blue-black.

A pair of gigantic wings, capable of covering the sky, suddenly extended from the sides of the torso, each feather seemingly forged from azure and golden divine metal, edged with sharp winds and flickering arcs of electricity.

The fish tail transformed into magnificent tail feathers resembling clouds hanging from the sky, and the head took on more avian features—a sharp beak and keen eyes... Within a few breaths, a three-hundred-meter-long Giant Kuo had transformed into a majestic Kunpeng with a wingspan of over three hundred and fifty meters, its entire being swirling with the essence of wind and thunder! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Scree—!"

The Kunpeng raised its head and let out a cry that pierced gold and shattered stone, clear and resonant, its call echoing through the skies! Xiao Jie suddenly flapped those colossal wings that seemed capable of covering the heavens, immediately stirring up a violent gale all around, the sea below forming a massive depression as waves radiated outward!

The Kunpeng’s wings flapped again, and its enormous body soared into the sky with an unrivaled momentum, flying towards the distant horizon.

And what a flight it was! With each flap of its wings, it was as if a great storm swept across the heavens and earth, accompanied by wind and thunder, air currents howling, clouds surging violently. Its grand momentum was like a typhoon passing, or the divine bird from mythology patrolling the skies! The sea below also rose in towering waves as if making way for this sky’s sovereign.

However, Xiao Jie soon realized that the Kunpeng form’s absolute flight speed wasn’t actually much faster than his all-out flight in White Dragon form. After all, the basic flying speed of the Giant Kuo was quite "touching," even with a 500% increase, it barely matched the cloud-riding speed of the White Dragon. The truly astonishing part was the fearsome weather effects accompanying its flight, stirring heaven and earth, and the unparalleled oppressive aura of its massive body, much like a Titan beast descending from the Godzilla movies, each step a natural disaster!

"And this is just the juvenile stage, or rather, the initial stage of the Giant Kung’s Dharma Aspect..." Xiao Jie was filled with anticipation, "If I can reach the same level as the North Sea Giant Kuo’s true form, over level 90, and cultivate this Dharma Aspect to perfection, what a magnificent sight that would be! I fear I truly could have a wingspan of three thousand miles, and with a flap, soar ninety thousand miles!"

"Haha, this is exhilarating!" Xiao Jie was satisfied, and with a thought, the azure and golden light flashed as the enormous Kunpeng rapidly shrank back into his human form, clad in a light blue Immortal Robe.

He cupped his hands towards the North Sea Giant Kuo beside him, who had been watching curiously: "Thank you, Kui, for your assistance this time, I’m immensely grateful."

The North Sea Giant Kuo blinked its massive eyes and asked in confusion, "How can you transform into a Kuo and also into a bird?" Clearly, this Primordial Exotic Beast, following its instincts and ancient heritage, couldn’t grasp Xiao Jie’s mysterious Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal technique, and it was purely bewildered and amazed by the fact that a Giant Kuo could transform into a bird.

"Haha, it’s called talent, nothing can be done, we are just naturally knowledgeable." Xiao Jie couldn’t explain and could only laugh it off, "See you later, Kui, I’ll visit when I have the time."

With that, he didn’t linger any longer, and clouds formed under his feet, carrying him away like a stream of light towards Ginkgo Village. He urgently needed to discuss with Lin Xuance and the other two Daoist friends about Ma Yuan and the "Great Thousand Worlds" calamity, as this matter was of great importance and could not be delayed.

An hour later, Xiao Jie was already above the serene and peaceful Ginkgo Village. He descended from the cloud, his Spiritual Sense gently sweeping over, immediately sensing the presence of Lin Xuance, Wu Qingyue, and Su Zhiqing, who were in a bamboo pavilion outside the village, seemingly sipping tea and discussing Taoism while watching Hao Mie, Wentian Wuji, and the other nine diligently cultivating in a clearing not far away.

This bamboo grove was vibrant and green, distinctly different from the slightly eerie wild forest surrounding it, seemingly created through Immortal Law. A circle of verdant bamboo surrounded an octagonal pavilion, exuding an elegant appearance.

Xiao Jie flew directly towards the pavilion. As he descended gracefully, the breeze he stirred rustled the pavilion’s bamboo. The three inside had already perceived his return, all looking at him with smiles. Lin Xuance held a tea cup with a casual demeanor; Wu Qingyue stood with arms crossed, exuding a resolute aura; and Miao Fa Yuanjun Su Zhiqing was gracefully and calmly pouring green Immortal Tea into a white jade tea cup.
