Chapter 2060: Chapter 37: Divine Object, Descent of God (End of Volume)

[Marquis Transformation Technique: Nine Marsh Gods]

[Explanation: The Nine Marsh Gods are Innate Divines; the three Heavenly Change Divine Needles among the Divine Artifact "Heavenly Change Divine Needle" and the Nine Marsh Marquis Transformation Technique were created based on Their Life structure and that of Their descendants, for a total of nine layers.]

[Current Progress: Third Layer (3000/10000)]

Without a doubt this is a Divine Level Technique, because previously the progress upper limit was always one thousand, but now it has become ten thousand, the same as the Heart Sealing Technique.

"Once I cultivate to the third layer, I can drive three of the Magic Artifacts, which means I’ve met Venerable Bai Han’s requirement."

Although Zhao Xing had yet to actually perform it, he already knew that if he were to perform it again, his form would no longer have horns, but would take on the form of the three descendants.

Of course, to truly undergo Marquis Transformation into the Nine Marsh Gods, he still has to cultivate it to the ninth layer, and then refine all nine Magic Artifacts.

"Right now, even if I can drive three Magic Artifacts, I can only transform into a descendant of the Nine Marsh Gods. After the transformation, I’ll become three Nine Marsh descendants, at the Demi-God Realm, possessing three powerful innate Secret Techniques."

According to the biological clock within his body, Zhao Xing judged that the first step of comprehension had taken roughly five hundred years.

However, Venerable Bai Han had said that the time flow at the sixth layer was different from that of the first five layers.

Five hundred years had passed, yet outside it was merely ten years.

"Next is the second step: using the third-layer Nine Marshes God Marquis Transformation Technique to drive three Magic Artifacts."

At the moment Zhao Xing raised his head, an expression of expectation appeared in Venerable Bai Han’s eyes.

"You comprehended it fully in just five hundred years and are already starting the second step, attempting to drive the Magic Artifacts?"

"Such heaven-defying talent!"

A bluish floral halo emerged around Zhao Xing’s body, intertwining with the silver radiance emitted by the Divine Needle, gradually condensing into a phantom encircled by nine marsh‑patterns.

As the Runes fused, the nine marsh‑patterns resonated with the Divine Needle’s silver light.

The third of the Heavenly Change Divine Needles began to quiver violently, then rapidly shrank.

As for the remaining six, they also shrank somewhat, though their change was far less pronounced than that of the three exclusive ones.

Marsh‑patterns wound around the Magic Artifacts, causing them to shrink ring by ring; the three bone spikes out in the starry sky had already shrunk by half.

Yet at this moment, Zhao Xing felt a stabbing pain in his mind, and he vaguely sensed something ominous.

"Why did you stop?" Venerable Bai Han asked.

"Senior, it’s still the same problem: my Mana value is insufficient to drive three Magic Artifacts, so I cannot form the Heavenly Change Domain to refine the three Magic Artifacts into my body." Zhao Xing said with some regret.

"My foundation is too shallow. In terms of cultivation along the Heavenly Time Dao, I’m merely at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, and that unique fortuitous encounter is still not enough to support me in driving such powerful Magic Artifacts."

Venerable Bai Han nodded and was just about to wave his hand when Zhao Xing spoke again.

"However, this junior has a concept that perhaps can be tried."

"Speak and let me hear it."

"I ask Senior to remove the suppression of the Law Realm so that I can display the Self Sect’s World Projection."

"The Heavenly Change Domain requires inner and outer in harmony. I already possess all external conditions, but lack the Seasonal Boundary Order. Perhaps I can use my Inner World to provide support. Please, Senior, protect me."

"Oh?" A trace of interest flashed through Venerable Bai Han’s eyes. "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Xing explained, "The Heavenly Time Technique gives rise to the Seasonal Boundary Order. With the Seasonal Boundary Order, one can control the evolution of the Cosmic Four Seasons of a world."

"Within the Marquis Transformation Technique, it is what creates the foundational Inner Heaven and Earth environment required by the Marquis Transformation Technique."

"The Inner World itself possesses environmental regulation; perhaps it can complete the union of inner and outer."

Venerable Bai Han sighed with feeling. "The cultivation system of your era has developed far beyond that of the time I lived in. There are actually so many points of convergence among the Three Sects."

"Very well, give it a try." Venerable Bai Han waved his hand, altering the operational rules of the Law Realm.

Zhao Xing discovered that he could now open his Inner World.

"I will protect you. If there is danger, you must not forcibly drive them; otherwise your Magic Body will collapse, your True Spirit will be annihilated... to fall at this step would be far too regrettable." Venerable Bai Han said.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

...

After lifting the restraints on the Inner World, Zhao Xing again spent a long time attempting.

However, he was not trying to refine the Magic Artifacts and master the Heavenly Change Domain, but was instead ceaselessly attempting to subdue the Spirit-devouring Grass within his Inner World.

"Faster, faster!"

"If it gets noticed, it’ll be too late."

Zhao Xing’s True Spirit kept invading the True Spirit of the Spirit-devouring Grass.

Yet the True Spirit of the Spirit-devouring Grass was like a mischievous child, constantly leaping up and down, resisting and struggling.

As a Legendary-grade troop, it simply refused to accept Zhao Xing’s discipline.

After all, Zhao Xing was currently merely a Lord-level True Spirit, having yet to pass through a single True Spirit Tribulation, whereas it was a naturally powerful Spirit-devouring Grass.

Its strength far surpassed Zhao Xing’s True Spirit. If not for the suppression of the Hun Yuan Dao Tower, it would have already turned around and slain Zhao Xing.

"What should I do?"

With eyes reddened, Zhao Xing stood anxiously beside the Primordial Ocean in his Inner World.

"Once Venerable Bai Han discovers something amiss, he will likely strike immediately."

"To deal with him, I must completely subdue the Spirit-devouring Grass, then use the power of the Boundary-breaking Divine Stone to raise it to its Peak."

"At Peak, the Spirit-devouring Grass would be comparable to a Demigod of the Human Clan; perhaps then I could escape from Venerable Bai Han’s demonic grasp."

When the third stab of pain arose in his brain, Zhao Xing finally discovered the anomaly.

He saw clearly the ’truth’ around him.

He was not standing on the cyan jade slab at all, but lying upon a stone platform.

The forehead, abdomen, chest, and limbs of his Magic Body were all nailed with nine flesh‑nails.

It was in that instant of lucidity that he saw Venerable Bai Han’s true body.

Bai Han lay upon the stone platform adjacent to his, his fleshly body already completely withered, his hair fallen out, the flesh and skin membrane beneath constantly squirming, likewise studded with nine flesh‑nails.
