Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 496 - 321: The Last Day

In the Two Realms Mountain range, clouds and mist enveloped the sprawling mountain stretching along the border of two nations.

Inside the Command Hall of the Six Major Sect Alliance.

In front of a massive table sat the six sect masters of the alliance, with maps of the borders of Ji Country and Yuan Country laid out, showing the positions where Ji Country’s border army guarded and the weak points, all clearly investigated.

Having waited at the border for over a month, the Six Major Sects were now just short of a crucial direction for attack.

"Report! Sect Masters, Changshou Sect scout Chen Xin has returned, bringing back vital intelligence for the mission."

At this moment, a voice from the guards outside the hall was heard:

"He awaits audience outside."

The six sect masters simultaneously looked up. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Five sect masters gazed at the Changshou Sect Master.

The Changshou Sect Master, a middle-aged man with a formidable physique and eyebrows reaching his temples, exuded a heroic presence, as though he held mastery over the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, giving off an extremely imposing aura.

He was unconcerned with the gaze of the other five sect masters, slightly raising his brows, and smiled faintly:

"Chen Xin has returned, which suggests the discovery of some of the spirit veins within the You State of Ji Country. Let him in."

"As you command." The guard in the hall nodded lightly.

Shortly after he turned and left.

Chen Xin, clad in a blue robe, slowly walked into the hall, seeing the six powerful figures seated within, he bowed and greeted:

"Chen Xin of Changshou Sect, pays respects to the sect masters."

Then he offered a grand salute to the Changshou Sect Master:

"Respects to my mentor."

The Changshou Sect Master raised his hand and said slowly, "No need for such formalities. Since you’ve returned, you must have gathered intelligence. How many spirit veins have you investigated? Report directly to the other sect masters."

"Yes."

Chen Xin began to speak slowly:

"During my journey to Ji Country, I found thirteen spirit veins in total. One being a top-grade spirit vein, three top-grade, five middle-grade, and four lower-grade spirit veins, located at these positions."

As he spoke, he concentrated his mana to mark thirteen red dots on the table in front of the sect masters.

Among them, the red dot marking the top-grade spirit vein was the most fiery.

"Top-grade spirit vein!!"

The Demon Spirit Island Master directly stood up, somewhat unable to contain his emotions, his eyes fixed on the location of the top-grade spirit vein:

"Good! Good! Good!"

He uttered three ’good’ words consecutively.

The other five sect masters also found their chests heaving, collectively looking towards the location of the top-grade spirit vein, revealing it to be in the Huai’an Prefecture within the You State of Dragon Abyss Province in Ji Country.

Top-grade spirit vein!

All present were leaders of major sects, how could they not know the value of a top-grade spirit vein? It could sustain disciples of major sects in their cultivation for a decade; if they could excavate this top-grade spirit vein, it could support any major sect for ten years without worrying about Spirit Jade.

"Well done, Chen Xin! You’ve established great merit!"

The Demon Spirit Island Master spoke excitedly:

"The alliance will recommend you for your merit."

The female Heavenly Master also looked at Chen Xin, her beautiful eyes shimmering, and smiled: "It’s said that Changshou Sect has produced a Primordial Spirit Body in this generation, it must be you, indeed naturally in tune with the Primordial Spirit Qi, achieving such great merit upon returning to the mountain."

All six major sects dispatched disciples.

And Chen Xin was the first one to return.

And he brought back news of a top-grade spirit vein.

Primordial Spirit Body?

The sect masters from the other five major sects all looked at Chen Xin, showing mysterious expressions, each praising the Changshou Sect Master for acquiring an exceptional talent in this generation:

"Primordial Spirit Body, upon great achievement, is comparable to an Eleventh Realm Qi Cultivator!"

"Changshou Sect has truly found a treasure this time!"

"And thanks to the boldness of you, Changshou Sect Master, dare you send such a precious talent to scout spirit veins, aren’t you afraid that if anything happens to him in Ji Country, you’d be heartbroken."

"So, Changshou Sect Master, are you planning to let this Primordial Spirit Body participate in the upcoming battle?"

Faced with inquiries from the other sect masters.

The Changshou Sect Master replied calmly, "I would not be willing to let the Primordial Spirit Body go to battle, the Three Star Cave Holy Land has already sent invitations to admit him, just lacking some merit, with this great achievement, it is just the right time for him to seize the opportunity to go to the Three Star Cave."

He knew perfectly well what the other five major sects were thinking.

Although they appeared to be an alliance of sects, it was merely a temporary coalition to attack Ji Country and seize spirit veins, post-war, they would still operate independently, guarding their own territories.

Therefore, none wanted another sect to have an overly exceptional talent, as it would create a huge disparity in the next era.

Thus, though these sect masters seemed to be congratulating him, they were indeed apprehensive about Chen Xin growing up in the future.

Yet he had foreseen these situations.

He never intended for Chen Xin to participate in the upcoming two-nation battle. Such a physique deserves the best future arrangements, and the Three Star Cave, one of Yuan Country’s Holy Land for Qi Cultivation, is the ideal place for further development.

Moreover, the Three Star Cave Holy Land is also one of the upper command holy lands for the southern invasion battle this time.

So, when he proposed for Chen Xin to continue his cultivation at the Three Star Cave.

The other sect masters on the field all fell silent.

After a brief silence, they began congratulating Chen Xin:

"Congratulations to you, Chen, upon returning from studies at the Three Star Cave Holy Land, surely as a fully matured Primordial Spirit Body, by then, you will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with us, we extend our early congratulations to you, Chen."

"Then we look forward to Chen returning to Zhen Nan State after achieving a great achievement with the Primordial Spirit Body in the future."

Chen Xin observed the changes in these people’s expressions.

A single Three Star Cave made them change their address from Chen Xin to Daoist friend.

It was perfectly in line with the customs of the Qi cultivation and immortal cultivation world of Yuan Country.

"Chen Xin, regarding your journey to the Three Star Cave, after you return to the sect, an elder within the sect will naturally handle it for you. Now, you can go back and withdraw from the front line," the Longevity Sect Master waved his large hand.

"Yes, Chen Xin takes leave."

Chen Xin cupped his hands and left.

Quickly, he came out of the Alliance Command Hall and was about to return to the Longevity Sect when he heard some news.

"It’s unclear who dared to move the entire Fire Beak Mountain within the range of the Jiuxiao Cave’s Ximu Mansion!"

"Even the Qingxiao Cave Master personally went to investigate but found no one."

"It’s said to be the work of those detestable Yun Dynasty people."

"Look at this ’Six Sects Pursuit Order’ portrait, the person doesn’t even look like people from the Yuan Dynasty."

"I think this might not be the real appearance; after all, the pursuit order has been out for so long, and no one has said they’ve seen this person, so there’s only the possibility of ’disguise’."

Chen Xin curiously looked at that portrait.

The person in the portrait was clearly a young man.

At this moment, he heard those people say:

"It’s said that the mad thief has multiple cultivation systems, not only having cultivated in escape techniques but also possessing methods of Divine Soul Cultivators and Martial Practitioners, adept at wielding a long staff."

Hmm?

Upon hearing these words, Chen Xin immediately stared at that young man’s face for a long time, murmuring in his heart:

"Is it my second brother?"

When he first met Chen Ku, he was swept by Chen Ku’s divine sense and was very clear that his brother’s cultivation system was far more than just one.

Coupled with the information about the Yuan Country troop deployment that Chen Ku personally revealed, it was evident he had been to Yuan Country once.

However,

Chen Xin could never have imagined that Chen Ku had moved that Fire Beak Mountain.

He was almost ninety percent certain that this was his brother’s doing, and Chen Xin secretly rejoiced in his heart, saying:

"I’ve heard of the legend of the Fire Beak Pot; although it’s degraded, it still has the power of a Ninth Realm magical treasure. However, due to the prestige of the holy land of Fire Virtue Sect, equal in status to the Three Star Cave, no one dared to excavate and steal it. Now it’s in my second brother’s hands. Once he masters and refines it, he will nearly fear no one below the Ninth Realm. This way... even if the Yuan Country invades south, I can rest assured of his safety."

At this moment, Chen Xin’s first thought was joy for Chen Ku.

Then, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking:

"My second brother is indeed cautious. Although I don’t know how he disguised, at least he knows to change his identity when venturing outside. Otherwise, if someone saw him in his true form, given the similarity in our appearances, they would immediately associate us, and the trouble would not be small."

He did not know that Chen Ku was not using any disguise but true transformation skills.

For Chen Ku, who had nine transformations, he never used his true form outside. A shift of his mind was another body and face, even mimicking others’ martial skills. No one in the world could possibly recognize him.

Phew~

After confirming his brother’s safety, Chen Xin gracefully flew towards the Longevity Sect’s site using Qi.

Meanwhile, in the command hall, after receiving this intelligence.

All six Sect Masters looked at the thirteen Spirit Vein locations, especially the top-grade spirit vein in Huaiyin Prefecture.

"Although the spies from the other five sects haven’t returned yet, we can already launch an all-out attack. I propose... to directly cross the Two Realms Mountain and attack in the direction of Huaiyin Prefecture after one day!"

"The 50,000 Border Army at Ji Country’s border is negligible. We can directly penetrate Huaiyin Prefecture!"

"Huaiyin Prefecture’s location is excellent. After capturing it, we can advance directly to You State’s capital Yan Capital, or retreat back to the Two Realms Mountain... Moreover, we can bypass Baojiao County’s Peace Path, where that Evil God resides."

"Demon Spirit Island agrees! A total attack will be launched in one day!"

.........

At Qiu Dragon Mansion, Chen Ku sat on the large chair, watching as people from the other thirty-five martial associations arrived one after another.

He was pondering about Yuan Country and Chen Xin.

But he didn’t know that there was only one day left until Yuan Country’s invasion.

At this time,

When all thirty-six martial associations were gathered together.

All the leaders of the martial associations looked at the young, handsome boy who sat in the main seat.

"Master..." Li Tiansheng exchanged a look with the Purple Gold Elder and transmitted a message: "It seems Qin Yuxian will not appear; it’s always been that Chen Ku sitting there. Do you think this Martial Arts Conference was actually organized by Chen Ku in the name of Qin Yuxian, and Qin Yuxian hasn’t returned at all? What is Chen Ku up to?"

"No matter what he wants to do, do not act rashly."

The Purple Gold Elder, with his deep scheming mind, especially having been suppressed by Qin Yuxian for decades, would not be the first to come forward at this time, and he transmitted a message:

"Watch what the others do; someone will speak up."

Li Tiansheng of the Hongwu Meeting nodded. He wasn’t an impulsive person either.

As expected.

Right after the Purple Gold Elder transmitted his message.

"Hey, I say, Grand Protector Qin Fang, what’s the meaning of today? You Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting called us over, saying the Martial Arts Conference would restart, yet... we’ve all arrived, but your master Qin Yuxian hasn’t shown up?"

A middle-aged man stood up from his seat, crossing his arms and shouting coldly at Qin Fang, pointing at Chen Ku, who was sitting in a chair not far away, saying:

"Moreover, isn’t that your master Qin Yuxian’s seat? What’s the meaning of letting such a junior sit there? Has your Qiu Dragon Martial Meeting changed masters?"

This was a powerful expert who had stepped into the Seventh Realm Gang Control level.
