Chapter 718: Chapter 213: Body Becomes a Mountain, Myriad Beasts Transformation, Refining Immortal Appearance, Assassination Attempt

Immediately, the massive rock began to compress, grind, and move as if it were flesh, then transformed into an indescribable monster.

This monster continued to compress, further compressing, transforming into a gigantic elephant-like Demon Beast.

The giant elephant Demon Beast was still compressing, then turned into a fierce tiger, wild wolf, cat, fly, ant...

Then, the ant suddenly exploded with a "bang," transforming into a serene and grandiose young man.

The young man smiled and glanced at the information:

[Divine Techniques 2: Six Paths - Human World Transformation, Myriad Beasts Transformation (Incomplete 2/4)]

He murmured in his heart:

’As expected, merging completely with the Withered Fire gave me new powers.

This completes another piece of the "four fragments."

"But why are there only four fragments in the [Six Paths Transformation]?"

He pondered for a moment, shaking his head.

’Forget it, this question seems unsolvable at the moment, and I need not dwell on it.

But what can be inferred is that to master the subsequent power of [Six Paths Transformation], perhaps I need to seize stronger fire.

With each enhancement of the fire, I elevate my mastery over flesh and blood to a new level.’

Now, Li Yuan felt he could transform at will.

He could turn into any person, any Demon Beast, insect, or even a mountain, truly feeling like he possessed the "Seventy-Two Transformations."

This made him inexplicably anticipate future transformations.

He dressed again, then exited the secret chamber, yawning in the sunlight.

Just halfway through his yawn, he noticed the palace maids outside Qingxin Hall showing signs of panic, their faces full of fear, as if something had happened.

Li Yuan focused his mind, quickly extending his perception to listen to the movements within the Imperial Palace.

After listening for a while, he understood.

Thus, he directly used the "Illusion Technique" and headed towards Fengming Palace.

In this Deep Palace, typically, the Emperor resides in Dragon Roar Hall, the Empress in Fengming Palace, and if wanting a peaceful place for cultivation, they would move to a secluded place like Qingxin Hall.

Rushing along the way, eunuchs and palace maids passed by.

Yet to them, Li Yuan appeared to be nothing more than a transparent mass of air.

They walked by without the slightest awareness that someone was passing near them.

In a moment, Li Yuan arrived in front of Fengming Palace.

The palace was surrounded by many Dark Guards and Imperial City Guards.

And standing in front of the inner hall of Fengming Palace was General Gao Kaiping.

This general held a long spear, his cold eyes scanning all around.

Clearly, even with the Illusion Technique, Li Yuan could not escape Gao Kaiping’s watch.

But that was the past.

In the next instant...

Li Yuan’s figure flickered, his flesh compressed,

In no time, the young man vanished, and in mid-air appeared a white-winged mosquito.

The mosquito unleashed the "Illusion Technique," drifting through the window crevice with the wind.

Inside the room, there was a faint smell of blood.

Xie Wei was leaning against the bed, her shoulder wrapped in bandages, with traces of blood slightly visible.

From previous perceptions, Li Yuan had vaguely guessed that something had happened to Xie Wei, but he hadn’t expected this.

The Ruling Empress faced assassination, this was a major event!

He revealed himself mid-air.

Xie Wei abruptly turned around, looking at the Emperor suddenly appearing in the void, her phoenix eyes wide, her mouth slightly open, showing an expression of extreme disbelief.

Yet outside the door, Gao Kaiping was utterly unaware.

Li Yuan sat in front of the bed, looked at her shoulder wound with pity, and softly asked, "Who did it?"

Xie Wei sniffled, but then smiled, speaking gently, "Don’t worry..."

As the two conversed, there was suddenly a knock on the door and Gao Kaiping’s questioning voice.

"Your Majesty, is there someone in the room?"

Xie Wei responded, "No one, I’m talking to myself."

Gao Kaiping didn’t believe anyone could silently bypass him, so he refrained from speaking further.

Xie Wei mouthed, "Hold me."

Li Yuan embraced her.

Xie Wei whispered in his ear: "I wanted to transfer Desolate South Path’s army to the Imperial Capital... and then was assassinated. Not only myself, the ministers who supported my proposal in the court were also killed."

Li Yuan whispered back, "Were you too hasty?"

One leaf knows autumn.

Li Yuan instantly understood that Xie Wei wanted to weaken the Vassal Kings.

Every Commander is like a Vassal King, wielding troops independently, posing endless trouble.

Perhaps initially, these Commanders had played a role in countering various Social World Influences.

But now, after Lotus Sect’s looting, many Social World Influences have withered, yet the Commanders have preserved themselves, growing stronger over time, increasingly defying orders, reminiscent of the nine courts.

Xie Wei slowly shook her head and gently said, "Go find Xiaoyu’Er..."

Seeing her unwillingness to speak further, Li Yuan checked her injuries again, finding no major issues before leaving.

Returning to Qingxin Hall, he re-entered the secret chamber, then began operating yin and yang, aiming to quickly reach the second minor Realm "Thousand Transformations Blood and Flesh Gate," to condense "Immortal Appearance"...

Three thousand eight hundred and eighty Ancestral Talismans moved at will, beginning to operate within the fire.

It’s like "blowing sugar figurines," Li Yuan’s Divine Soul also began to transform accordingly.

But unlike the "blowing sugar figurines," once Li Yuan ceased operating, everything would revert to its original form.
