Xuan Xiao’s expression was bitter, and he felt inexplicably complex.
“Sigh… If only we knew beforehand that the Human Race’s innate Dao bodies were so profound, then why would they have wasted so many years!”
“The first generation of the Human Race created by the Saint Mother Nuwa numbered twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty. If their innate Dao body characteristics were discovered early and exploited, wouldn’t that have led to twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty individuals with the same level of potential as Duo Bao? ”
“At that time, the Human Race would have surely risen. Alas, the Human Race discovered the peculiarity of their Dao bodies too late. The pure Dao bodies of the first generation were almost completely depleted. Sigh… ”
Xuan Xiao sighed repeatedly, filled with heartache. He wished he could travel back in time and lead the first generation of the Human Race to realize their own potential.
If the first generation’s talent had been fully exploited, then even if the Human Race couldn’t surpass the Witch Race and the Demon Race, they would still be a force to be reckoned with.
Unfortunately, it was too late for all that.
Xuan Xiao was heartbroken. Seeing this, Hou Yi shook his head. “If the first generation’s talent had been fully exploited, then the Human Race would have surely risen. But in the Grand Desolate, how many “ifs” and “possibilities” are there?”
“Alright, stop dwelling on this. After all, you have gone through several transformations and are now on par with the first generation of the Human Race. Your innate Dao body should have also reached the level of a pure Dao body. So remember this lesson and diligently cultivate your own potential.”
“Of course!” Xuan Xiao knew about his own transformation and understood that he needed to cultivate his Dao.
Hou Yi nodded, observing Xuan Xiao for a moment. “Alright, let’s move on from this topic. Didn’t you want to create a new cultivation system for the Human Race? How is it going?”
“If I hadn’t had that discussion with you, Great Witch Hou Yi, I’d still be wandering in confusion. But now, it’s different. After realizing that the Great God Pangu was a Human, that all beings in the Grand Desolate are Humans, and that all beings in the Grand Desolate will eventually transform into Humans, I’ve found the core of the Form Intent Method’s Second Realm.”
“The core of the Form Intent Method’s Second Realm? What is it?” Hou Yi naturally knew about the Form Intent Method that Xuan Xiao created, and he was curious.
Xuan Xiao didn’t hide it, immediately saying, “The Form Intent Method’s First Realm. Its core is ‘cultivating the beast form with the human form, cultivating the beast body with the human body,’ thereby obtaining the power and talents of various Divine Beasts in the Grand Desolate.”
“However, Divine Beasts in the Grand Desolate, upon reaching a certain level, must transform into Humans to progress further. And the Form Intent Method’s First Realm goes against this to some extent. So the Second Realm should follow the right path of transforming into a Human.”
“Therefore, the core of the Form Intent Method’s Second Realm is ‘All Beasts Return to One, Transforming with Beasts!’ ”
“Haha… ‘All Beasts Return to One, Transforming with Beasts.’ What a good idea!” Hou Yi praised, agreeing with Xuan Xiao’s idea. He also pondered the Second Realm of the Form Intent Method, slowly nodding. “This concept makes the Second Realm of the Form Intent Method perfect. But you have the core of the ‘Second Realm’ now. How do you complete the Form Intent Method?”
“This… This might require your help, Great Witch Hou Yi. I’ve heard that there is a Divine Ability in the Grand Desolate called ‘Rebirth Transformation.’ This Divine Ability can help beings perfectly transform into Humans, as well as help cultivators whose transformations failed to reshape their perfect human form.” Xuan Xiao felt a little awkward.
After coming up with the core of the Second Realm of the Form Intent Method, Xuan Xiao couldn’t help but think of the ‘Rebirth Transformation,’ one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs, which was passed down through the ages. If he could obtain this Divine Ability and incorporate it into the Form Intent Method, then he could create the Second Realm.
But how could he obtain this Divine Ability? Xuan Xiao could only ask for help from the Great Witch Hou Yi. “Hehe… Great Witch Hou Yi, you see, this Divine Ability… with my current abilities…”
“Haha… You little rascal, you’re trying to take advantage of me again. Alright, it’s just ‘Rebirth Transformation,’ right? I’ve collected this Divine Ability. After all, there are many Demon Race beings who transform, but even more who fail to transform. Those Demon Race beings need to cultivate ‘Rebirth Transformation’ to reshape their human form. So I’ve obtained this Divine Ability many times. Here, I’ll pass it on to you!” Hou Yi said, passing the Divine Ability to Xuan Xiao.
With this inheritance, Xuan Xiao was overjoyed, but also excited. After all, this Divine Ability meant the Second Realm of his Form Intent Method.
With the inheritance, Xuan Xiao couldn’t wait to use his Burning and Transforming Divine Ability to comprehend the ‘Rebirth Transformation,’ and incorporate it into the Form Intent Method, thereby creating the Second Realm.
…
Time flew by, and many years passed.
Inside the Kuafu Peach Forest, Xuan Xiao, who was immersed in creating his technique, felt his blood churning, transforming into a sea of blood.
Within that vast sea of blood, one could see Divine Beasts transforming.
There were the Golden Crow, the Phoenix, the True Dragon, the Qingluan…
Birds, beasts, fish, and reptiles – they all existed within. However, now, with Xuan Xiao’s surging blood, they scattered and intertwined, forming a vast, magnificent cauldron.
Form Intent Method - All Beasts Return to One - All Beast Divine Cauldron!
This ‘All Beast Divine Cauldron’ was the crystallization of all the beast forms cultivated in the First Realm of the Form Intent Method, containing the characteristics, talents, and even Divine Abilities of countless beasts!
Of course, the All Beast Divine Cauldron was also the means to achieve ‘Transforming with Beasts.’
After all, every cultivator of the Form Intent Method would condense countless beast forms. Transforming so many beast forms, one by one, and then merging them was too troublesome. The conflict between beast forms during the merging process might even lead to a failed transformation.
Therefore, after much deliberation, Xuan Xiao condensed ‘All Beasts Return to One,’ refining the beast forms into a Divine Cauldron. He would use the All Beast Divine Cauldron to refine various beast forms, taking the best and discarding the worst, finally transforming from the Cauldron to become human.
Of course, Xuan Xiao’s ‘All Beasts Return to One’ resulted in the All Beast Divine Cauldron. As for the others, they would have to create their own.
The All Beast Divine Cauldron was now formed, but as Xuan Xiao’s blood surged and his will intertwined, he shouted: “Form Intent Method - Second Realm - All Beasts Return to One, Transforming with Beasts!”
As Xuan Xiao roared, the endless blood condensed, merging with the All Beast Divine Cauldron, slowly forming a human figure. A human figure that resembled Xuan Xiao.
“Roar…!” After breaking through, Xuan Xiao let out a long howl, like rolling thunder, generating vast waves of energy. For a time, Xuan Xiao’s flesh exploded, and his bones roared: “Haha… This is the power of ‘All Beasts Return to One, Transforming with Beasts,’ isn’t it? To melt the essence of all beasts into my body. To condense the talents of all beasts into my body. To even transform the Divine Abilities of all beasts into one. Powerful, incredibly powerful.”
Xuan Xiao laughed, and Hou Yi observed him, finally showing a smile. “Good, good… Your Second Realm of the Form Intent Method is perfectly opened. There are only a few details that need adjusting. But there’s no doubt, you succeeded.”
Hou Yi’s praise made Xuan Xiao happy. Xuan Xiao could feel the power of the Second Realm of the Form Intent Method, and knew that the people of the Heavenly Walk Tribe had a new direction for cultivation.
“Thank you, Great Witch Hou Yi! If it weren’t for your guidance and ‘Rebirth Transformation,’ I wouldn’t have the Second Realm today!” Xuan Xiao thanked him sincerely. Without Hou Yi, he absolutely couldn’t have created the Second Realm so easily.
“No need for thanks! Just cultivate diligently!” The Great Witch Hou Yi smiled without saying anything else.
Xuan Xiao nodded implicitly, remembering all his kindness. Then he closed his eyes and rested, continuing to comprehend the Second Realm of the Form Intent Method, ensuring that he perfected this technique.
