A pitch-black page?
Long Yu was a little puzzled by the appearance of the Divine Ability Fruit. What kind of power did this mean for his fifth ability?
"It's actually a book … If you don't know what it's used for, why don't you try fighting a sealed beast?"
The Death Envoy's interested voice sounded.
Long Yu nodded. Since he didn't know what it was used for, he might as well give it a try. In any case, there were tens of thousands of Ice God Clan beasts sealed in the Asura Ancient Palace. He could just pull one out and fight it.
Long Yu listened to the Death Envoy's suggestion and dragged out a seven Transcendent Realm Ice God Clan beast from the sealed space of the Asura Ancient Palace. It had been sealed for such a long time that it naturally hated Long Yu.
As soon as it saw Long Yu, the hexagonal ice crystal Ice God Clan beast emitted a cold air from its body. It controlled the ice attribute divine runes to attack Long Yu, condensing into a violent ice whirlwind!
"Fifth ability, go!"
Long Yu directly activated the Divine Ability Fruit. Immediately, the pitch-black page was projected to the outside world. A beam of black light shot out from it, enveloping the Ice God Clan beast.
Immediately after, Long Yu was hit by a violent ice whirlwind. But before that, Long Yu displayed the Barrier of Death and directly blocked the attack.
After all, it was only a seven Transcendent Realm Ice God Clan beast. Long Yu could easily block its attack. But now, Long Yu was more interested in the Ice God Clan beast that was enveloped by the beam of light from the pitch-black page. Was there any change?
However, when the black beam of light disappeared, Long Yu found that the Ice God Clan beast was not affected at all!
"What's going on?"
Long Yu frowned. Seeing that the beast wanted to continue roaring and attacking him, he raised his hand and put the beast back into the sealed space of the Asura Ancient Palace.
Soon, Long Yu noticed the changes to the black page.
After projecting it onto the Ice God Race exotic beast, the image of an Ice God Race exotic beast appeared on the black page. It was obviously exactly the same as the Ice God Race exotic beast from before!
"Hmm?"
Long Yu still did not know what the use of his fifth divine ability was. However, when he tried to activate the black page again, something miraculous happened.
The power of Ice Divine Runes floated out from the black page and enveloped Long Yu's entire body. In just a short moment, Long Yu's entire body had transformed into the appearance of the Ice God Clan's Exotic Beast!
"Transformation, disguise?"
Long Yu was instantly overjoyed. This kind of divine ability was an extremely useful thing. Right now, he could disguise himself as an Ice God Beast. In other words, as long as his fifth divine ability probed him, he would be able to disguise himself as the other party.
Exotic beasts could do it, but what about humans? Where are the demonic beasts?
Or even the items?
Long Yu thought to himself. Then, he activated his fifth divine ability, the pitch-black page, and probed the stone table beside him. Soon after, he saw that the picture of the Ice God Clan's beast on the pitch-black page directly transformed into the picture of the stone table.
"Change!"
With a thought, Long Yu found that he really had turned into a table.
This was not an illusion or any other means of deception, but a real change of form! Long Yu knew that his thoughts still existed on this table.
"No, that's not it. When I transformed into this table, my body was absorbed by the black page. In other words, the black page used a special power to simulate a table, and then swapped the real me with the table image on the page …"
Long Yu continued to study this novel ability. Before using it, he had to fully understand its nature. Otherwise, he might be in big trouble at the critical moment.
…
It was only after a day and a night that Long Yu had thoroughly studied this pitch-black page.
Long Yu called his fifth divine ability "Book of Shadows". This was because he had a premonition that once he comprehended this divine ability into a mid-level divine ability, or even a high-level divine ability, it would display even more abilities. It wouldn't just be the ability to disguise and transform.
After disguising himself, Long Yu would not be able to use any of his abilities. He would not be able to use any martial techniques or magical abilities. Only his appearance would be completely changed, and his body would be hidden in the alternate space of the Book of Shadows.
The principle behind this was rather complicated, but all Long Yu needed to know was that he could freely transform into anyone, any creature, and even any item!
"It seems that I was born to be an assassin …"
Long Yu thought to himself and shook his head in puzzlement.
This magical ability could not increase his combat power, but it made him more agile. Even his escaping and chasing abilities had become outstanding.
The only pity was that the current Book of Shadows could only store the form of one item. After Long Yu transformed into the stone table, he could no longer transform into the Ice God Clan beast.
"Maybe when I comprehend the magical ability more deeply, I can store the form of more people …"
Long Yu shook his head. He could only think about it this way for now.
Immediately after, he continued to practice the great desolate grade martial technique, the Dubhe Qi Drawing. He wanted to cultivate it to the Transformative stage as soon as possible, but it would take time.
The cultivation of martial techniques was mostly built up over time. The more times he used it, the longer he comprehended it, and the more mastery he would have.
Dark Dragon Nine Explosions and Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill were two great desolate grade martial techniques that Long Yu had already comprehended and reached the Transformative stage. He was still cultivating powerful martial techniques, one of which was the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light.
Now that he had comprehended the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light to the Greater Success Stage, it would not be easy for him to improve further.
Although it was said that the more times he used a combat martial technique like the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light, the easier it would be for him to achieve a breakthrough, it was different when he used it in battle.
When there were no enemies, Long Yu could also use the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light at will. But at that time, the improvement in his comprehension of this martial technique could be said to be minimal.
"Combat martial techniques can be cultivated slowly, but the Dubhe Qi Drawing has to reach the Transformative stage as soon as possible. That way, the effects of medicinal pills will be maximized!"
Long Yu now knew that his greatest disadvantage was his martial arts realm, so he did not focus on cultivating the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light.
Of course, because he needed to consume a lot of Divine Script's power to use his various martial techniques, and there was a long time gap between each use, Long Yu would choose a King realm early stage Ice God beast to fight against every once in a while.
This didn't take up too much time, but during battle, he could quickly improve his understanding of his various techniques, including the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light, Nine Underworld Hand, Soul Seal Siphon, Nine Underworld Dragon Breath, and so on!
A while ago, when he was fully focused on comprehending the Dubhe Qi Drawing, he did the same. Through constant battles, he gained a clearer understanding of his own techniques, and his understanding of them also increased.
And in his free time, he would constantly feel the power of the Dubhe Stars, thus increasing his understanding of Dubhe Qi Drawing.
With so many Ice God beasts as Long Yu's opponents, Long Yu's understanding of martial techniques and Thaumaturgy increased by leaps and bounds!
…
Two months after he left the North Snow Empire.
Long Yu finally got close to the center of Shen Wu world, where the Five Emperors Holy City was located.
On the way, Long Yu found that the closer he got to the Five Emperors Holy City, the more prosperous it became. Most of the pills he bought in the city weren't available in the more remote areas.
Of course, on the way, Long Yu had already bought almost all the Great Desolate pills.
He bought three of each type of pill, and the combined amount of spirit energy they contained was enough for Long Yu to break through to 7 Daos Thaumaturgy realm!
As for reaching the Emperor Path Secret Realm, it wasn't that easy.
To break through to the Emperor Path Secret Realm, one needs to open a Inner World inside their body, which requires a huge amount of spirit energy! One could imagine how much spirit energy a 7 Daos Thaumaturgy realm cultivator like Old An, who spent 300 years and still couldn't break through to King realm, would need to open a Inner World?
"Eight special beast crystals should be enough, right? Of course, to open a Inner World, the most important thing is to form a World Seed inside my body. As for how this World Seed came about, it's hard to explain, I can only wait until I reach 7 Daos Thaumaturgy realm before I can understand it … "
As Long Yu thought about his own path of martial arts, he knew that he wasn't far from reaching the Emperor Path Secret Realm. With the Nether Nether Dragon Blade, absorbing one pill is equivalent to a normal person absorbing three or four pills, this is his unique advantage.
Combined with the financial support, he wouldn't lack pills at all!
For Long Yu, the spirit energy of Heaven and Earth is no longer a limiting factor for him to increase his martial arts realm. Right now, all he has to think about is how to stabilize his own martial arts realm.
Breaking through too quickly isn't a good thing. If your realm isn't stable, you might not even be familiar with your new power after breaking through, which could cause your fighting strength to decrease instead of increase.
This was also the biggest reason why Long Yu didn't choose to directly consume those desolate grade pills. He wanted to stabilize his foundation in every realm. Only then would he have a solid foundation. Only then would he be able to step into the King Realm in the strongest manner possible!
"There's less than two years until the Shen Wu Imperial Conclave, and before that, there will be a competition for the strongest King realm cultivators … I'd like to participate, to see just how strong the strongest King realm cultivators of Shen Wu world is!"
Raising his head, Long Yu saw a huge city at the edge of his field of vision.
That is the Five Emperors Holy City, the center of Shen Wu world, the headquarters of the Alliance of Five Emperors!
This is the most prosperous place in Shen Wu world, it's countless times more developed than a remote place like the North Snow Kingdom. Even normal Grand Desolate high-grade pills can only be bought here for half the price of the North Snow Kingdom!
Merchants from all over the world can buy cultivation resources from the Five Emperors Holy City, then spend half a year to transport them to other countries, earning an uncountable amount of wealth.
This is the Five Emperors Holy City.
Long Yu looked up and saw that in the center of the Sacred City of Five Emperors, there was a white pagoda that pierced through the clouds, looking incomparably majestic. From that pagoda, Long Yu could actually feel the aura of the divine runic crystals from thousands of miles away!
"The Alliance of Five Emperors is the only organization in Shen Wu world that knows how to use Divine Text crystals to strengthen buildings!"
