Chapter 36: Phantom Path

Creating a phantom-path spell.

Lin Jing pondered for a while and felt it was feasible.

Although he was only in the Qi Refining stage and had never come into contact with the phantom path, using the "purple Dragon Bone Flower" to create a method was not creating something out of nothing.

Moreover, there was the enlightenment bonus from the Golden Bodhi Tree from the Immortal Realm. Lin Jing felt it was worth a try.

What if he succeeded?

Occupying the Golden Bodhi and not using it to create a method, but only to comprehend the realm of existing spells, he always felt it was a waste of talent.

With this thought, he took a deep breath and let himself calm down.

After eating the purple Dragon Bone Flower.

One second... two seconds... three seconds...

Not long after, there was movement on Lin Jing’s side.

The halo of the Bodhi golden leaves enveloped Lin Jing, and a terrifying aura slowly rose from his body!

He concentrated his mind, experiencing his own changes.

Under the bonus of the Golden Bodhi Tree, Lin Jing only felt golden eyes opening within his body, able to clearly see every subtle change in himself.

This was a state of absolute understanding of oneself, which no Qi Refining cultivator could possess.

Under Lin Jing’s observation, the nutrients of the purple Dragon Bone Flower began to combine with the true Qi throughout his body, and the Beast Taming True Qi began to transform into a kind of purple spiritual power!

"Not enough, not enough!"

Lin Jing wanted to observe at a deeper level. Soon, his consciousness saw more; he saw the essence of the Beast Taming True Qi.

A wisp of Beast Taming True Qi was already a very ethereal unit, but at this moment, in Lin Jing’s eyes, this wisp of Beast Taming True Qi could actually be broken down into even smaller basic particle units.

He seemed to see with his own eyes the nutrients of the purple Dragon Bone Flower breaking the colorless and formless Beast Taming True Qi into smaller particles, and then making it reorganize into a purple true Qi with a structure a thousand or ten thousand times more complex!

"That’s it!"

Seeing the Beast Taming True Qi reorganize into a purple true Qi with a structure ten thousand times more complex under the effect of the purple Dragon Bone Flower, Lin Jing "opened his eyes wide," wanting to imprint the structure of the purple true Qi into his mind.

At the same time, the purple true Qi was already uncontrollably jumping around in Lin Jing’s body, wanting to "escape" from his body. It was very difficult for him to control this purple true Qi; the reorganized purple true Qi was not entirely his own power.

"From the strength of this special spiritual power, it doesn't exceed his own true Qi by much. In other words, it is its complex structure that makes it exhibit extremely strong deceptive power when manifested externally."

The phantom path is to make the false appear true.

This purple true Qi was the perfect phantom-path source power.

Lin Jing knew what he should do.

Externally.

After the purple true Qi disobeyed and emerged from Lin Jing’s body, its manifestation was similar to when the little white mouse ate it before; it was an involuntary transformation, forming a terrifying dragon-like skeleton.

This fixed plastic change was like a memory, perhaps engraved in the genes of the Dragon Bone Flower, related to the cause of its birth. Perhaps the ancestor of the Dragon Bone Flower was a flower demon that had once had a tryst with the Dragon Clan.

"Looking at it this way, as long as I can autonomously decompose the Beast Taming True Qi and then reorganize it into the structure just now, wouldn't I be able to simulate the changes in true Qi after eating the Dragon Bone Flower?"

"After forming the purple true Qi, as long as I control the purple true Qi and let it be molded into different forms... it can be the current purple bone dragon, but it can also be others, such as the Four Sea Dragon Kings, the Monkey King, or the Buddha. At the same time, these phantom images are not only incredibly realistic but also possess a deterrence far exceeding the current realm."

"But how to decompose my own Beast Taming True Qi, and how to reorganize it..."

Relying solely on his Qi Refining cultivation, Lin Jing could not reach the level of deconstructing true Qi.

Fortunately, the Golden Bodhi Tree was truly powerful. Under Lin Jing’s constant attempts, he finally turned his consciousness into a pair of large hands, ravaging the Beast Taming True Qi in his hands.

"As expected of a grotto-heaven blessing, even this can be done. But away from the Golden Bodhi Tree, I definitely won't be able to control my own true Qi so precisely."

"Time is tight. To be on the safe side, what I should do now is to repeat the process of decomposing the Beast Taming True Qi and forming the purple true Qi a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred million times, letting it form a kind of 'memory,' just like 'wiping one’s butt'—it must be done quickly even with eyes closed, relying on physical memory."

Lin Jing immersed himself in his own world, constantly memorizing the changes in true Qi.

And at this time, externally.

It had already caused an uproar.

Watching Lin Jing, who had disappeared and transformed into a purple giant dragon, emitting a terrifying monster aura, the Beast Taming Sect disciples were incredibly shocked.

"What kind of spell is this?" The Monster Hunting Hall disciple who had contracted a black panther sensed the fear of his pet and couldn't believe his eyes.

"I don't know. In my impression, whether it’s the outer sect or the inner sect, there is absolutely no such spell. I haven't seen any senior brother cast it, nor have I heard of it." With the inner sect assessment gone, and now jointly guarding Lin Jing, He Yiming also temporarily put aside his grudge with that Monster Hunting Hall disciple.

"The pressure of this purple giant dragon is simply countless times that of that Ten Thousand Beast Body. And this is... while Junior Brother isn't targeting anyone." Senior Brother Ziran was covered in cold sweat.

"He... he wouldn't be of the Monster Clan, would he? Usually transforming into a human form, and now finally revealing his true body." Thinking of Lin Jing’s various oddities, Qin Caixin began to speculate.

And don't say it, the Beast Taming Sect disciples actually felt it was very reasonable.

"Didn't the Monster Clan go extinct? I remember the Dragon Clan is the hegemon among the Monster Clan. Junior Brother... could he be of the Dragon Clan?"

Even the fellow sect disciples couldn't figure out the situation. The scholar in green, who was writing furiously on the side to claim credit for "slaying the barbarians," was even more confused.

He stopped his pen, looked at the flame-like eyes of the purple bone dragon, and took a deep breath. "What kind of joke is this? What kind of... spell is this? Special constitution? Secret technique?"

His expression shifted.

The purple bone dragon gave him a feeling... sufficient to crush him in an instant!

The young swordsman and the female alchemist, who were immersed in their own world of cultivation, were also attracted by the changes in Lin Jing. Seeing Lin Jing, who had completely disappeared and transformed into a purple giant dragon, their pupils also shrank.

A change that had never appeared in the battle just now.

They didn't know what this change represented, but from the current perception, if Lin Jing were in this form, thirty or three hundred of them added together would also be beaten to death.

"He didn't use his full strength just now? He still had hidden trump cards? Is this his strongest spell?"

In the impression of several people, the Beast Taming Sect had always been a third-rate sect. The cultivators of this sect relied too much on their pets, and their own abilities were mediocre. But here with Lin Jing, they felt something was odd. It wasn't that the pets weren't strong enough—that Pine-Leaf Rat was also bizarre—but Lin Jing also gave them a feeling of being unfathomable.
