Within the Heavenly Dao Sect, one can also find time to be affectionate and enjoy the pleasures of sibling love.
However, now, even if Xiao Wenbing still has the lustful desire, he no longer has the courage to do so.
His gaze swept over Feng Baiyi's serious face, and the thought of doing something unusual with Zhang Yaqi in front of her sent a chill down Xiao Wenbing's spine.
Suddenly, Xiao Wenbing keenly caught a slight noise outside the door. He muttered to himself for a moment, then focused his mind into the Heavenly Void Ring and approached the Mirror God, who was bored out of his mind.
"Hey, Mirror God, I've come to see you."
A white light suddenly flashed on the small bronze mirror. The mirror spirit looked around suspiciously for a while, then suddenly said, "Hey, why don't you transform into human form?"
"Transformation?"
"Yes, don't you think it's extremely impolite to treat an old man like this?"
“I’m sorry,” Xiao Wenbing said decisively, “I am only at the Golden Core stage now, and have not yet reached the Nascent Soul stage, so I cannot take human form according to your wishes.”
"I'm not asking you to leave your body, I'm just asking you to take on a physical form."
“…This,” Xiao Wenbing asked cautiously, “is there any difference?”
"Of course there is. Nascent Soul leaving the body means your nascent soul crawls out of your body. As for illusory transformation, you can concentrate your will on an object and let it represent your physical body."
A very important flash of inspiration seemed to pass through his mind, and Xiao Wenbing's heart began to pound uncontrollably. A very peculiar idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"You...you mean, it's similar to...that form you took when you transformed into Xuanyuan Wood last time, right?" For some reason, Xiao Wenbing's voice trembled slightly.
"Hmm, it's somewhat similar. However, if you want to be able to transform it into whatever shape you want, then this item will be hard to find."
"It's not hard to find."
As soon as Xiao Wenbing finished speaking, the railings and walls in the mustard seed space suddenly changed. They slowly rose into the air, like a cloud of mist, constantly churning. After a long time, they gradually transformed into the shape of a human.
However you look at it, this person seems very strange.
"Haha..." A wild, unrestrained laugh suddenly erupted from the Mirror God's mouth.
"What's wrong with you?" The figure twisted its body, as if it were not used to it, and a slight twitch appeared on its muscles.
"What is this? Is it yourself?"
"Of course."
The Mirror God's laughter grew louder: "Take a look for yourself."
The illusory body suddenly rose up, and countless white lights wriggled and transformed into a large mirror as tall as a person.
Volume Four: The Divine Artifacts, Chapter 166: Illusory Transformation (Part Two)
------------------------
Xiao Wenbing's consciousness was attached to this cloud of mist. When he looked up, he saw that the mirror was divided into stages, and suddenly an extremely fat behemoth appeared.
Its bloated body was round and lacked any curves, and its short, thick legs looked like large pillars were forcibly inserted into it, making it difficult to identify what kind of monster it was.
However, he was well aware that this monster was the body he had transformed into at that moment.
If his body still bears some resemblance to a human's, then what about the most important human feature—the face...?
Under Xiao Wenbing's control, the humanoid figure formed from the clouds slowly approached the large mirror.
Yes, this face does indeed have human features, but...
On that full, broad forehead, a pillar of light had appeared. Upon closer inspection, it looked so familiar. Xiao Wenbing pondered for a moment, and the more he looked, the more it resembled something. Finally, he realized that it was... a nose.
His nose has moved on, no longer willing to submit to his eyes, and has climbed up from the center of his face to the top of his head.
Two large, protruding ears grew abruptly on either side of the nose, twitching as if they were about to take flight and soar into the sky.
If there's anything somewhat lively about this strange face, it's its pair of bright, large eyes. Right now, they're blinking, gleaming with intelligence.
Unfortunately, they appeared in the mouth area.
Where's the mouth? Where did the mouth go?
"Beside..." The large mirror let out a deafening laugh.
Pulling her head back, I finally saw her beautiful cherry-like mouth, her red lips pursed, exuding an indescribable sexiness and allure.
Good heavens! No wonder the Mirror God laughed so hard; if that face were shown out at night, it would scare people so badly they'd wet themselves.
Xiao Wenbing coughed lightly and said shamelessly, "It's the first time, so it's not surprising."
The clouds and mist swirled, and the figures merged into one again. Gradually, a new human form appeared. Looking at the large mirror in front of them, the effect was much better this time. Although it was not entirely satisfactory, at least it was clear that it was a person.
Let's revise it again...
Here it's a little fatter, the clouds and mist are churning, and it's gotten thinner.
There was a depression there, and the clouds and mist churned up and swelled up.
At this location, the clouds and mist churned and returned to their original positions.
After a long period of unremitting efforts, and with Xiao Wenbing's good attitude of admitting his mistakes and correcting them, the cloud finally formed a human shape that looked exactly like Xiao Wenbing.
"How was it?" Xiao Wenbing asked with no small amount of pride.
"It's just so-so. This cloud of mist is formed from condensed water from the Immortal Realm, so it can only be described as ordinary material," the Mirror God said indifferently.
"Hey... I'm asking about the effects of the human form transformation." Xiao Wenbing glared at Mirror God, annoyed, and said.
I finally mastered this special skill, so I should at least say a few words of praise.
"Oh, this?" Mirror God said dismissively, "I've never seen anyone dumber than you."
Xiao Wenbing was speechless with anger. He knew his graphic design skills had never been very good, and this task of creating something from nothing was like sculpting—it was indeed quite difficult. To become a master at it overnight was simply impossible.
"Forget it, you old ghost, I don't know how many years of cultivation you've had to become so compassionate. If I had the same amount of time, I would definitely be better than you," Xiao Wenbing snorted angrily, dissatisfied.
"No. After I became a spirit, I naturally acquired this ability; there was no need for practice at all."
Xiao Wenbing rolled his eyes at him. So it was something he was born with, then there was nothing to praise about it.
However, he was in a good mood at the time and decided not to argue with the water anymore.
The ability to materialize into illusory form is both a test and an opportunity for him.
The most distinctive feature of his divine power is his ability to create things. In the past, there had to be a physical object as a reference to create the same item.
Later, with the guidance of the Mirror God, he went through many failures and finally succeeded in creating a piece of Xuanyuan Wood that was shrunk to half its original size.
And today, a vast and boundless door has opened before him.
Transformation, imagination, and free combination—once he adapts to this ability, then with the power of the gods, could he truly create anything at will?
This is a possibility, a goal, and the direction he will strive for in the future.
A month after Xiao Wenbing entered the Ancestral Master's Chamber, he finally emerged from seclusion amidst great anticipation.
This time, there were even more people greeting them at the gate. In addition to everyone who was present last time, there were over a thousand more cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above, including three at the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Among these people, apart from the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect, were all disciples and scions of various sects on Heavenly Cauldron Star. They had heard that someone was going to refine a magical artifact similar to the Ancestral Master's House, and that the two elders of the Hui character were making a big fuss and going all out. So, one by one, they came to see what was going on under the guise of watching the ceremony and helping out.
As for the Jade Cauldron Sect, since its sect leader Hui Zhe has been in seclusion for a hundred years and has not yet emerged, it is still Hui Pu who is in charge of entertaining guests from all sides.
Xiao Wenbing's appearance immediately caused a sensation. The source of the sensation was not his handsome appearance, nor his magnificent demeanor.
In fact, although everyone had heard of the boastful person, it was merely a junior at the Golden Core stage.
However, hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.
Therefore, upon seeing Xiao Wenbing emerge, a wave of utter disappointment immediately swept through the crowd.
Although they were all Nascent Soul cultivators and wouldn't whisper like the people of Shigu, each of them wore a cold, mocking expression.
After all, in the cultivation world, a place where everything is determined by strength, the Golden Core stage doesn't really carry any weight.
Of course, this is also related to HP's order not to disclose the fact that Xiao Wenbing had refined the two sound meters, the Ten-Fold Increasing and the Five Elements Unifying.
HP meant well, not wanting Xiao Wenbing to get involved in the world of fame and fortune so early, so it issued a gag order.
Unexpectedly, while the disciples were scrambling for supplies, they inadvertently revealed the matter of refining the Ancestral Master's Chamber. The ensuing uproar was something he had not anticipated.
Beside Hewlett stood four people. Apart from Hui Ming, the other three were cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage. At this moment, a scholar pointed at Xiao Wenbing and asked incredulously, "Hewlett Daoist, is the refiner you mentioned... is it this person?"
“Exactly,” HP confirmed.
“Brother Dao, you’re not joking, are you?” the other person said softly.
The last person remaining didn't speak, but he also had a look of disapproval on his face.
HP smiled and offered no further explanation. In fact, if he hadn't personally witnessed Xiao Wenbing crafting those two magical treasures, he would never have believed it either.
Xiao Wenbing glanced around the room, strode up to Hewlett-Packard, and bowed, saying, "Greetings, senior."
HP returned the courtesy halfway and asked, "When will you begin the furnace, fellow Daoist?"
Xiao Wenbing pointed to the materials prepared by the thatched hut and said, "Now that everything is ready, we should start immediately."
"Alright, please instruct me on how to practice this technique, fellow Daoist."
"To save time, I would like to ask a hundred senior craftsmen for help," Xiao Wenbing said with a grin.
"Hmph, what arrogance." The last cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage finally couldn't hold back and muttered under his breath. He only refrained from any extreme actions because of the respect shown to the two elders.
"Fellow Daoist Yanmin, please calm down." Huiming had a very good relationship with these people. He patted his shoulder and said softly, "Does Daolong not trust our brothers' judgment?"
Yan Min and the other two were taken aback. Indeed, if Yang Wanquan hadn't been so confident, how could the two elders of the Hui family have allowed him to act so recklessly? Did they not even care about their centuries-old reputation?
Thinking of this, they immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking.
Although Xiao Wenbing heard what Yan Min said, he had long since filtered out the words because he was used to being with the God of Lottery.
He couldn't help but admire the composure he displayed; the Ancestral Master's House truly lived up to its reputation, offering immense benefits to cultivators in terms of mental cultivation...
“One hundred? Okay.” HP responded, then turned and called out a series of names. Soon after, ninety-five cultivators stepped forward and came to the seat below them.
Xiao Wenbing stared intently, and wow, judging from their aura, each of them possessed the cultivation level of the Separation and Union stage.
The Jade Cauldron Sect is incredibly powerful. On Earth, even all the experts in the Separation and Union stages combined wouldn't have that many.
