[Wilderness True Form: Building upon Wilderness Transformation, this allows the soul, body, and spiritual essence to fully metamorphose into the transformation target. The transformed state is no longer tied to the target—it becomes a complete transformation into another form, granting the ability to freely use and comprehend the innate bloodline powers of the transformed beast.]
[This transformation form is based on the main body. The strength and condition of the main body and the transformed form are mutually integrated—changes in power and injuries will affect both.]
*[One Wilderness True Form is granted for every five levels gained. Current number of Wilderness True Forms: 1]
“Wilderness True Form!”
This was the true Wilderness Transformation form of a Druid!
And Qi Ping had already made his choice for both the second Wilderness Transformation form and the first Wilderness True Form.
He had been looking forward to this skill for a long time.
[Plant Monarch and Wilderness True Form skill selection complete.]
As the two skills fused into him, Qi Ping slowly closed his eyes.
And while he sat there with his eyes shut, carefully sensing the changes, he suddenly noticed something: within the tree spirits of his contracted spiritual trees, there were hidden clusters of a special law power, shining like little orbs of light.
“Are these… law insights?”
With a single thought from Qi Ping, a cluster of law power hidden deep within the Starwood tree’s spirit immediately flew over to him and gently merged into his body.
Right after, insights about the power of stars and the Dao of Nature began to rise within his mind.
“So that’s how it is!”
A moment of sudden realization struck Qi Ping.
No wonder, in the game, characters could gain experience just by approaching tree spirits—it was precisely this special law power at work.
And as Qi Ping absorbed this power, his Druid experience points suddenly jumped by several points.
“I really didn’t make the wrong choice with this skill!”
“It truly lives up to the name ‘Plant Monarch’!”
After experiencing the power of [Plant Monarch] , Qi Ping was more than satisfied.
But he didn’t immediately pull in all the accumulated law power clusters from the tree spirits. Instead, he lightly patted his sleeve.
At his gentle tap, a small green snake—carved as if from the finest jade—slithered out from his sleeve.
It blinked its big, glossy eyes, wondering why Qi Ping had woken it up.
Still, it wasn’t annoyed. On the contrary, it looked up at him with hopeful anticipation.
Qi Ping said nothing. He simply took out a lump of honey, rich with water-attribute spiritual energy, from his storage ring and placed it in front of the little green snake.
The moment the little snake saw the honey, its eyes lit up. Without hesitation, it gulped it down in one bite, then began chewing with a happy little gulp-gulp sound. Its eyes squinted in pure bliss, and a look of utter contentment spread across its face.
Seeing the little snake so satisfied, a smile also crept onto Qi Ping’s face.
Then, under Qi Ping’s control, a dark green contract formation rose swiftly into the air.
And the moment the little snake saw that formation, a flash of understanding instantly flickered in its eyes.
Immediately, its expression turned serious, as if it were about to welcome a major milestone in its life.
Watching this, Qi Ping’s gaze also held a glimmer of anticipation.
“The Illuminating Mystic Serpent…”
[Species: Illuminating Mystic Serpent]
[Bloodline: Fourth-Order Mid-Grade]
[Talents: Illuminating Mirror, Pure Spirit Body, Transcendent Physique]
- Illuminating Mirror: Possesses a Transcendent Eye and Transcendent Comprehension. The Transcendent Eye can analyze the principles and operational flow of any technique it witnesses in the shortest possible time, storing them within the eye. Transcendent Comprehension allows for the rapid mastery of those same principles.
- Pure Spirit Body: The physique has an extremely high affinity for spiritual energy, yet is innately pure and carries no elemental attribute.
- Transcendent Physique: The body has exceptionally high plasticity and growth potential. The probability of evolving and growing stronger is greatly increased, and the chance of breaking through bottlenecks is significantly improved.
[Evaluation: A special spirit beast that can either be utterly ordinary or soar straight to the heavens.]
The Illuminating Mystic Serpent was Qi Ping’s chosen form for his second Wilderness Transformation—and also his first Wilderness True Form.
What made him settle on this choice was the talent Transcendent Physique. On the surface, it didn’t seem particularly extraordinary, but when combined with all of Qi Ping’s various passives and resources, the potential for growth was absolutely terrifying.
Moreover, because the Illuminating Mystic Serpent’s physique made breakthroughs easier, if Qi Ping ever ran into a bottleneck in his human form, he could consider breaking through in his serpent form first, then feed that breakthrough back to his main body, allowing his main body to complete the breakthrough afterward.
And if he ever needed to travel among the demon clans in a beast form, the Illuminating Mystic Serpent would also be the perfect choice.
While Qi Ping was lost in thought, the dark green contract formation was nearing completion.
At this point, Qi Ping’s expression turned utterly grave.
For this contract, he must obtain the talent [Illuminating Mirror] !
This talent was crucial for his future path of creating new techniques, researching formations, and comprehending the laws—he absolutely could not afford any mistakes!
And with this talent in hand, his absorption of the law power clusters within the tree spirits should also yield much better results.
Under Qi Ping’s control, the contract formation slowly merged into the little snake’s body.
In that very instant, Qi Ping’s consciousness abruptly appeared within a strange, special space.
He wasn’t surprised by this. Once inside, Qi Ping immediately began to sense the differences between the three main clusters of light.
Almost as soon as he finished making his judgment, a small light cluster—one of the lesser ones outside the three main ones—shot toward him at terrifying speed.
Facing this surprise attack, Qi Ping dodged at the very last possible moment, barely succeeding, and then lunged toward a different cluster—one that bore the image of a peculiar eye.
After fusing with that light cluster, and sensing within it the insights of the Transcendent Eye and Transcendent Comprehension, Qi Ping let out a huge sigh of relief.
He had almost fused with some random thing he had no clue about—nearly hit that one-in-ten chance.
If it had been Transcendent Physique, he could have accepted that. But if he had fused with some unknown ability, that would have been a disaster.
Thankfully, he managed, at the very last instant, to fuse with the talent he had been longing for—Illuminating Mirror!
The Transcendent Eye and Transcendent Comprehension were now his!
——-
Several days later, when Qi Ping finally opened his eyes after a long period of closed meditation, a white vertical pupil appeared within them. Immediately after, intricate diagrams of spiritual energy flow and law circulation rapidly unfolded before his sight…
“Illuminating Mirror… what a domineering talent!”
“But I love it!”
With this, there was no longer any doubt about his creation of the Water-Fire cultivation technique or his research on formation integration!
“Let’s begin! The time for bold advancement is now!”
With a surge of heroic spirit rising in his heart, the clusters of law power hidden within the tree spirits began to rapidly stream into Qi Ping’s body!
And in that moment, Qi Ping plunged completely into deep seclusion!
And that seclusion lasted a full fifteen years!
It was only fifteen years later that a figure—one in which the essences of Water and Fire were perfectly fused—slowly stepped out of a six-in-one grand formation composed of three terrifying Fire Great Formations and three terrifying Water Great Formations.
