Chapter 177: Soulful Mirror, Formless Puppet 1

Following the arrow directions within the Daoist Academy, Chen Mobai arrived at the top of Crimson Mountain half an hour later.
Indeed, there stood a seven-storeyed building that resembled a pagoda.
There was a formation protecting the entrance, but Chen Mobai’s student ID was the pass. After swiping it, he freely entered the tallest building on Crimson Mountain.
He quickly arrived at the principal’s office on the seventh floor.
“Please, come in!”
After the knocking, the voice which had called him earlier came from inside.
Walking in, he saw a silver-haired old man standing beside the conference table.
“Hello, I’m Chen Mobai.”
“Hmm, you are the earliest one to arrive. Sit for a while, there are thirteen more people.”
The silver-haired old man nodded towards Chen Mobai with a smile.
He introduced himself as Che Yucheng, the educational director from the Dance Tool Daoist Academy.
“Nice to meet you, Teacher Che.”
Sometime later, two more students arrived. They greeted Che Yucheng respectfully, who responded with a smile, instructing them to take a seat. Approximately half an hour later, everyone was present, except for one person. Che Yucheng frowned slightly, made a phone call, and then shook his head helplessly.
“Zhongli Tianyu has some matters to deal with, and can’t come for now. Let’s begin.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but be surprised.
He didn’t expect the last person to be that Zhongli Tianyu. Given Tianyu’s talents and conditions, could he also have been assigned a neglectful advisor like him?
The reason I asked you all here was mentioned during the phone call.”
Within our Dance Tool Daoist Academy, there are two Divinity Transformation Techniques. Among this year’s freshmen, only you thirteen have chosen to practice these techniques.”
“The Pure Yang Scroll, after the modifications by the Yuan Yang, is not so bad. As long as persistent efforts are made, anyone can get started, although the improvement will be slow.”
“However, The Union of Differences, requires many considerations and has many restrictions. Since you all have such aspirations, the academy will naturally provide you with the utmost support.”
“First, we need to identify your qualifications and see if they match The Union of Differences. Furthermore, we need to see if there are any participating objects within the Immortals Sect suitable for you.”
Che Yucheng walked to the front of the conference table. After a long speech, he turned and pointed to a full-length mirror sitting in the corner of the principal’s office.
The mirror was approximately two meters in height and half a meter in width. The corners were rounded, wrapped with a maroon wooden frame. It looked very plain.
“This is the principal’s legal treasure, the Rank-4 Soulful Mirror.”
“You all stand before the mirror one by one. Approximately three minutes later, the most complete personal panel of your current stage will be formed.” After finishing his instructions, he gestured for the closest freshman to walk up.
Dings and beeps sounded, and features similar to electric waves started flashing on the mirror, forming lines of text. However, no matter how Chen Mobai looked, he couldn’t make out what was written.
“Alright, you can step down now.”
Che Yucheng waved the freshman down, then pressed a button on the office printer.
Soon, about a dozen pages were printed out.
Che Yucheng looked through them, confirmed that there were no abnormalities and then, nodding, handed them to the student.
“Keep this with you. The academy will keep an electronic version on file, and it will be of use later.”
Chen Mobai was somewhat worried. His Spiritual Root values, due to the special produce of the Tianhe Realm, were slightly higher than normal. He didn’t know if the Dance Tool Daoist Academy would probe deeper into this. However, there was no reason for him to back out at this point.
When it was his turn, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and stood in front of the Soulful Mirror.
In the midst of the beeping sounds.
He discovered he could clearly see the contents projected on the mirror.
It displayed his Spiritual Root values, the circulation routes of the spiritual power in his body, the development of his meridians, his physical age, the status of the two Spiritual Power Vortexes in his Dantian Qi Sea, and even the mysterious Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, mirroring the outline of a sapling…
It turned out that the texts and contents reflected on the mirror could only be seen by the related person.
“Hmm, your innate Yuan Qi seems to be much richer than the average person’s.
The total of your Spirit Root Attributes exceeds too.”
After Che Yucheng briefly browsed the content printed out, he was slightly surprised when he saw the part about the Spiritual Roots.
“When my mother was pregnant with me, she lived in the mountains, perhaps I was nourished by a richer Elemental Energy.”
Chen Mobai could only create this story to explain. Fortunately, although it is rare for one to have a total Spirit Root Attribute exceeding too in the Immortals Sect, it’s not impossible.
“How far have you progressed in your cultivation of the Pure Yang Daoist Body?”
After finishing his reading, Che Yucheng raised his head and asked a very critical question.
“I’ve just cultivated to the first level.”
Chen Mobai hesitated but eventually decided to reply truthfully.
Che Yucheng looked even more surprised after hearing this.
He checked Chen Mobai’s Spiritual Root values again.
[Gold 23, Wood 31, Water 27, Fire 26, Earth 10]
Adding up to a total of 117 points. The Pure Yang Daoist Body consumes 3 points each from wood and water attributes, and adds 9 points to the fire attribute, hence it’s very easy to calculate Chen Mobai’s original Spirit Root Attributes.
That is to say, his original Spiritual Root Value was 114 points!
This child’s innate Yuan Qi is quite abundant, to say the least.
However, Che Yucheng merely memorized it in his heart but didn’t mention it aloud. He handed the pile of thirteen pages to Chen Mobai, and then signaled the next one to go up and look into the mirror.
In no time, everyone in the office had completed the procedure.
Then, Che Yucheng led them to the lab on the first floor.
The lab was mostly empty, but along both sides of the wall, there were life-sized transparent faceless mannequins with eyes and screens on their foreheads.
Chen Mobai counted fourteen of these mannequins.
“These are no-feature mannequins, the finest creation from a collaboration between our Dance Tool Daoist Academy’s puppetry studies and Jumang Daoist Academy’s bionics department. They can perfectly simulate the practise and breakthrough of the Cultivation Technique in a human body.”
When everyone was puzzled, Che Yucheng began to introduce the transparent mannequins.
“I Will input the body model data of each of you, reflected by the Soulful Mirror into these no-feature mannequins. Then, it will simulate all the problems and ’ stages you will encounter when practicing the Divinity Transformation Techniques.”
If you can smoothly reach the Foundation Establishment level, then the academy will not stop you from practicing The Union of Differences or the Pure Yang Scroll. However, if you can’t evolve to the Foundation Establishment level, it means you are not suitable for practicing Divinity Transformation Techniques, and we will persuade you to give up.”
“Of course, if you insist on practicing regardless, the academy will respect your decision.”
After he finished speaking, Che Yucheng inserted the USB drive in his hand into an input socket at the back of one of the no-feature mannequins’ heads.
In the eyes of the astonished crowd, the insides of this life-sized transparent mannequin began to show meridians, bones, and internal organs.
In the end, the faceless mannequin transformed into a face identical to a freshman sitting next to Chen Mobai. Its left and right eyes were two digital dials, the purpose of which was unknown.
As Che Yucheng activated the mannequin, the screen on its forehead began changing, and eventually formed an illusion of a longsword.
Simultaneously, the mannequin’s left eye slowly started to rotate, and the number changed from “zero” to “one”..
