Chapter 571: Xu Que's Mortal Transformation

A few months later, outside Buried Immortal Valley in the Eastern Wasteland, inside a small hill!

A handsome youth with a face like a jade crown sat cross-legged in a pitch-black cave, with a dog lying beside him, squinting its eyes and dozing off.

Clearly, he had dug out a Cave Mansion within this small hill and set up a high-level Concealment Array outside, never once being detected!

This person was none other than Xu Que!

He had cultivated the Transmission Technique, prepared for several months, and finally condensed all his cultivation, including those Thunder Essence, entirely.

This was an important moment; he had never gone far, hiding near Buried Immortal Valley.

On one hand, it was because the more dangerous the place, the safer it was—no one would expect him to still remain near Buried Immortal Valley.

On the other hand, it was also to stay a little closer to Jiang Hongyan; from the position of Buried Immortal Valley, one could just see the Bronze Ancient Hall floating in the air in the distance!

And today, he had finally prepared everything and was about to begin the transmission!

"After today, I'll become a mortal again! Perhaps this is what's called Mortal Transformation!" Xu Que muttered to himself, his heart very calm.

After these few months, he had become much more steady than before, his mindset well-adjusted, and he felt no reluctance toward this entire cultivation.

"Whoosh!"

He summoned the system and drew out that Dao Body.

At first glance, this Dao Body was a translucent, crystalline human form, very vague, with no facial features and not the slightest aura—utterly pure and flawless.

Xu Que cut his finger; a drop of fresh blood welled up, and after it dripped onto the top of the Dao Body's head, the entire Dao Body instantly lit up.

Then, it gradually sprouted bones, meridians, blood vessels, flesh, hair… until finally, a person identical to Xu Que appeared before him.

Xu Que gradually felt a connection of heart and pulse, as if this Dao Body were a part of his own body.

"Let's not look exactly alike when we go out—it's awkward for me to look at!" Xu Que smiled, and with a shift of his mind, the Dao Body's appearance immediately changed.

Following his thoughts, the Dao Body transformed into a face resembling Hu Ge's—young yet steady, full of wisdom!

"Alright, this isn't awkward now, we can begin!"

Xu Que took a deep breath, raised both hands, and began to perform the Transmission Technique!

This Dharma Spell had been prepared entirely for the Dao Body; it was the best gift the gift pack had given him.

Boom!

Streams of majestic and violent Spiritual Light suddenly erupted from Xu Que's hands, pouring directly into the Dao Body.

As boundless True Essence Power surged out, the Dao Body's realm skyrocketed like a rocket.

Qi Refining Stage Layer One!

Layer Two!

Layer Three…

Foundation Establishment Stage Layer One!

Layer Two!

Layer Three…

And Xu Que's True Body realm also began to slowly drop.

In the end, his realm completely plummeted to nothing, while the Dao Body became Infant Transformation Stage Layer Nine, emanating a powerful aura.

The next moment, majestic Thunder Essence began to surge out, pouring into the Dao Body.

Following closely, three kinds of Strange Fire also appeared, churning as they headed toward the Dao Body.

……

Everything Xu Que had previously possessed was left without a trace, all given to the Dao Body.

This also included his Evil Qi—after killing so many people, the Evil Qi he had condensed all surged toward the Dao Body!

But astonishingly, the Dao Body began to undergo a change; that head of black hair was gradually turning white…

This was not a sign of aging, but caused by the Evil Qi—every strand of white hair was as crystalline as Snow, as sharp as a blade, chilling to the heart!

"Huff!"

Finally, Xu Que let out a long breath.

At this moment, he had thoroughly and completely become a mortal.

This feeling was just like when he had first transmigrated here and just opened his eyes!

"Heh, I had already expected this long ago, but only after actually becoming a Mortal Body did I feel just a tiny bit of reluctance!" Xu Que laughed self-deprecatingly, somewhat unaccustomed to his current, weak self.

Fortunately, none of this cultivation had been wasted; it had all been transferred to the Dao Body intact. Now this Dao Body was like his third hand, wielded with perfect ease.

"Time to go out and Acting Cool… oh wait, that's not right—time to go out and cultivate, to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!"

Xu Que stood up, and with a shift of his mind, the Dao Body instantly transformed into a streak of white light, darting into his dantian, sitting quietly inside like a little person—a bit like a Nascent Soul!

Although his cultivation was entirely gone, he still retained many memories, such as the abilities of a One-Star Array Master, a Four-Star Chef, and a Two-Star Musician, a Three-Star Alchemy Master, and more!

Borrowing the Array Master's ability, Xu Que activated the Concealment Array without the slightest effort!

A ray of Sunlight immediately shone down, and dense Spiritual Energy rushed to meet him, refreshing to the heart!

Er Gouzi had been sleeping the whole time; suddenly startled awake now, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Awoof, kid, you're finally awake! Damn it, this Divine Venerable has been guarding you for ages, body and mind exhausted—hurry up and get something out to eat!"

Xu Que couldn't be bothered with this idiot; with a look of utter contentment, he stretched his lazy back. The Wind caressed his face. Though he was a mortal, the extraordinary aura about him was actually stronger than ever before.

He took a deep breath, feeling everything between Heaven and Earth, his mood completely relaxed.

Blue sky, green grass—without his cultivation, he could no longer see the distant Bronze Ancient Hall from here. He truly felt that he was a mortal.

"Hongyan, I'm leaving! But very soon, I will return! Once I comprehend the Dao Rhythm and understand my own Dao, I'll come back!" Gazing in that distant direction, Xu Que muttered to himself.

All along, he simply hadn't known what kind of Dao he wanted to walk, which was why he had not the slightest Dao Rhythm.

If he had to say he had one, it would surely be the Path of Pretending to be a B.

But how does one walk the Dao of Acting Cool?

How does Acting Cool become Dao Rhythm?

Three Thousand Great Daos, countless choices, yet is there a Path of Pretending to be a B?

These countless confusions hindered Xu Que.

It was as if he knew where he was going, yet had not found the road leading to that place!

Thus, now that he had become a Mortal, he sought to find his own road; once he had a direction, he could reach his destination with great speed!

"Damn it, kid, you really wasted your cultivation completely? What will this Divine Venerable do later? You wouldn't be thinking of having this Divine Venerable Guard the Dao for you, would you?" Er Gouzi had only just realized that Xu Que had not a shred of cultivation left and was greatly worried.

Of course, it was worried about its own safety in the future.

"What's there to fear? I, the Zha Tian Bang Members, number ten million; wherever I go, that is my territory!" Xu Que said with a smile.

Er Gouzi immediately panicked: "Damn, you're crazy! Don't think this Divine Venerable doesn't know; the Zha Tian Bang has never had anyone but you!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Xu Que smiled and strode down the Mountain!

Er Gouzi hesitated for a moment, and for once did not flee, but followed along.

Xu Que did not summon his Dao Body to travel; he walked with only his Mortal body, one after the other with Er Gouzi, stepping down the Mountain with solid steps, as if forging a new Life road!
