King of Assassins-Chapter 997 - 683: Infinite Transformations (Part 2)

Through the swallow, Gao Xuan synchronized with it to sense all information.

This is indeed quite interesting.

The swallow soared straight into the blue sky, reaching a height of over a thousand zhang but unable to ascend further.

The sky appeared pristine like it had been washed, but there were layers of fierce winds in the sky. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

At a thousand zhang, the intense winds were too much for the swallow to withstand.

Gao Xuan also realized a problem: his transformed self as a swallow had to endure the limitations of a swallow's form. No matter how strong his personal power was, he couldn't enhance the swallow.

Thinking of this, Gao Xuan changed his mind and transformed into a falcon.

The falcon had a white head, black feathers, yellow claws, and a wingspan of over a zhang. The falcon flapped its wings and rose into the fierce winds.

Thus, it ascended directly to a position of five thousand zhang, where the Celestial Master Temple had become a tiny black spot, and the distant Royal Capital had turned into a small patch.

Here, the fierce winds were as sharp as invisible blades and swords. The falcon could no longer endure, let alone ascend further.

Gao Xuan thought about transforming into a gigantic dragon. The golden dragon form had just begun to appear when it was ripped apart by the winds and dissolved into streams of light.

At this point, the duplicate completely dissipated.

Gao Xuan tried some magic and found the issue. Though Hundred Transformations can change into various items and beings, not everything can be transformed.

For instance, dragons are a no-go. It's conceivable that other powerful beings might also be off-limits.

Even if they can be forced into shape, they'd just be an empty shell.

The transformations of Hundred Transformations acquire the abilities associated with their form.

Gao Xuan roughly understood that the true limit of Hundred Transformations is dependent on his power. His range of transformations is confined within the bounds of his power.

Beings beyond his power cannot be transformed by him.

Therefore, the true function of Hundred Transformations is duplication. As for the transformations, they're just for fun with no practical value.

Of course, one could transform like Sun Wukong, into a fly or bug, and sneak into someone's stomach.

Then yell, "Sister-in-law, open your mouth. I'm coming out..."

Actually, intelligent demons aren't stupid. Transforming into a bug to sneak into someone's mouth isn't that easy.

If one could achieve this, killing the opponent wouldn't be difficult either.

No matter the case, Hundred Transformations is quite amusing.

If Gao Xuan wanted, he could create hundreds of duplicates, turning them into houses, tables, chairs, pots, and pans, and live comfortably on his own.

Or, use duplicates to transform into a group of beauties dancing and singing?

Then again, isn't this similar to using one's hands? But what's wrong with using hands; everything must be acquired through one's own efforts...

Indeed, thinking about it, Hundred Transformations is like a divine artifact for a recluse.

Thinking of this, Gao Xuan couldn't help but laugh, which puzzled the nearby Ripples. She didn't understand why the old master was laughing, and it seemed he was thinking of something...

Ripples is straightforward and asked, "Old Master, why are you laughing?"

"Hahahaha..."

Gao Xuan naturally wouldn't tell Ripples this. He said, "This magic is exquisite, inspiring me, hence the laughter."

Ripples was somewhat skeptical; she felt that Gao Xuan wasn't speaking the truth.

Gao Xuan said, "Alright, let me show you something amusing."

As he said this, he pointed a finger and murmured, "Transform."

A white smoke rippled out of thin air, and a girl in black and white Dao attire emerged from the smoke.

The girl in Dao attire had very delicate features, naturally exuding an air of nobility. Her face was full of confusion and panic, not knowing how she suddenly appeared here.

With a turn of her gaze, the girl spotted Ripples, exclaiming in delight, "Ripples, haha, is it you who transformed me here?"

The Dao-attired girl was Baili Qingtong, a good friend of Ripples, who often visited the Celestial Master Temple to hang out with her.

Today, she was in her room studying the Dao Scriptures, not knowing what happened; she blacked out and then ended up here.

Originally somewhat panicked, upon seeing Ripples, she immediately forgot all about it.

Ripples hesitated slightly, looking at Gao Xuan, unsure if the Baili Qingtong in front of her was real or an illusion.

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "It's indeed your little friend."

Only then did Ripples welcome Baili Qingtong, grabbing her little hand and whispering, "Qingtong, the old master is out of seclusion."

Baili Qingtong now also saw Gao Xuan, her face mildly reddened. It was embarrassing to behave so freely in front of Gao Xuan.

After all, she was a princess and well-taught, she quickly composed herself. She stepped forward and bowed courteously to Gao Xuan, "I didn't know the Celestial Master was here; disciple was rude."

"No harm."

Gao Xuan smiled, "You and Ripples are good friends; no need for formalities."

He casually pointed to a seat below, "Sit."

Baili Qingtong was quite embarrassed, "With the Celestial Master present, there shouldn't be a seat for a disciple."

Ripples was less concerned with protocol; she pulled Baili Qingtong to sit, "If the old master says sit, you sit, no need to be polite."

Seeing her good friend suddenly emerge, Ripples was very pleased.

Gao Xuan was also in great spirits, saying, "Today's a good day, I invite you to enjoy some good food."

He thought for a moment and asked Baili Qingtong, "You are palace-born, following the National Preceptor in cultivation, what do you like to eat?"

Baili Qingtong was still a bit dazed and didn't quite understand Gao Xuan's meaning. Thinking it over, she said, "I quite enjoy eating the Bili from Zhang Country. This pear only fruits on centennial pear trees; its flesh is sweet and juicy, filled with spiritual qi, greatly beneficial to cultivators..."

"Good, we'll eat Bili then."

Gao Xuan was already experimenting with magic; he flicked his fingers and smoke clouded the ground of the grand hall, where a pear tree grew from thin air.

The pear tree grew rapidly, reaching several zhang tall within moments, its branches poking through the roof. Fist-sized Bili hung from its branches, emanating a rich fragrance.
