Moonlight sprinkled down, and Feixian Cliff was silent—an ideal moment for cultivation.

Wang Mu committed the mantra to heart and first sought to comprehend it carefully.

He wasn't sure if it was for some other reason, but even without spending action points, Wang Mu felt he had understood quite a bit.

This Yin Yang Chaos Technique seems to have some similarities with the Great Joy Yin Yang Diagram in certain aspects...

The essence of the Great Joy Yin Yang Diagram is to absorb that wisp of Yin and Yang Qi during the sun's rise and the moon's fall.

Then, it is circulated, strengthening the foundation and nourishing the yuan, to nourish and improve the body.

However, this Yin Yang Chaos Technique shared some of these principles. Of course, the actual difference was still quite significant.

These cultivation methods, in all their variety, seem to share some common ground.

Wang Mu mused, deep in contemplation.

Thinking of this, Wang Mu attuned himself.

[Cultivation: Yin Yang Chaos Technique (+)]

The cultivation conditions for this spell are indeed within my reach.

Master Lu was right; I can cultivate this technique, and the requirements aren't too high.

He would first try to comprehend it himself, then use action points.

The next moment, the profound meanings of sections of the spell emerged in his mind.

Wang Mu silently recited. His hands formed illusions, various seals appearing alongside the mantra. His Divine Sense conjured the image of a Sword Crane in his mind; his powerful spirit seemed capable of constructing a complete 360-degree model of a Sword Crane within his consciousness.

For a moment, the moonlight intensified, and brilliance erupted all around.

A mysterious mist rose from around Wang Mu. As the clouds shifted, his form, in the eyes of the spectators, gradually underwent a transformation.

First, his head began to shrink and change. A sharp yet elegant crane's beak slowly took shape, followed by a long, graceful neck, strong and proud like bamboo. Then came the lower body: a linearly graceful crane's form, with red and white feathers, like a sword guard and hilt interdependent.

It was none other than a Sword Crane, a creature with which everyone from the Sword Sect was quite familiar.

A spirit beast of the crane family that flew back and forth between the various Sword Peaks, weaving through clouds and mist.

Yet, it was unable to move, remaining still in its place like a lifelike sculpture, with only its eyes shining with spirit.

Although immobile, it gave the illusion of having come to life—exceedingly realistic.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present widened their eyes.

At this moment, in their vision, the handsome Junior Brother Wang with his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes had disappeared.

Only a Red Flame Sword Crane remained amidst the swirling mist, wings spread, head held high, as if about to undergo Divinity Transformation and soar to the heavens as an immortal.

Even though it couldn't move, it gave the impression that it was about to take flight at any moment.

Real!

So incredibly real!

The same thought spontaneously emerged in the minds of the onlookers.

Then, shock painted itself across everyone's face.

"How is this possible..."

The black-robed Senior Sister could not comprehend, her eyes filled with amazement. "Master, it's his first time cultivating this! How could he achieve such a lifelike state? It's almost ninety percent real!"

Master Lu stared at Wang Mu, seemingly seeing something in him, thoughtful and increasingly astonished.

"That's too exaggerated! The first time I cultivated, I couldn't even make the wings materialize..."

"Master said that to cultivate our Sword Peak's secret skill, the Transformation Skill is essential. I practiced for three months, but the Sword Crane I transformed into didn't even seem half as real as this..."

"Boohoo... Why does Junior Brother Wang, a man, have such high talent in the Transformation Skill? I feel so ashamed!"

"His Spirit Root limits Junior Brother Wang's cultivation, but his talent is too strong! He grasps such techniques immediately! He truly deserves to be first in the entrance examination..."

"That Sword Crane looks so beautiful..."

"Could it be that Heavenly Sword Peak is too poor, and Junior Brother Wang rides Sword Cranes every day, making him much more familiar with them than us?"

"..."

"Is his talent for this Transformation Skill really that high?" Brother Xu Xiaoxia watched, bewildered. "I practiced for half a year, and the Sword Crane I transformed into was neither human nor crane. How can his be so real on the first try?"

For a while, the crowd's tumultuous feelings were hard to calm.

"His Divine Soul is extremely strong, and his spirit is pure," Master Lu said with a smile. "Cultivating this Transformation Skill allows for not even a hint of stray thoughts. During the assessment, Wang Mu was the only one who could complete the task under the enchantment of those Demoness puppets in the Holy Land."

"I said it that day: this child is extremely suited to cultivate our Sword Peak's Transformation Skill."

"It's just... I didn't expect his talent to be so high... Frighteningly high, even."

The black-robed Senior Sister remained silent.

Hidden Sword Peak had never lacked highly talented individuals, and she herself possessed great talent. Upon her first attempt at this skill, she succeeded at once, achieving a sixty percent likeness. She was already considered the most talented of her generation in Hidden Sword Peak.

She hadn't expected to be surpassed by a man.

"He doesn't have much Spiritual Power in his body," the black-robed Senior Sister asked. "Without a Spirit Root, won't it be difficult to cultivate this skill in the future?"

"Not necessarily," Master Lu said with a peculiar smile.

Indeed, Wang Mu did not have a Spirit Root.

That day during the assessment, the Peak Leaders had sensed it. This young man had probably cultivated the Hundred Refinement Body Technique, passed down by Elder Yan, to a very high level.

And once the Hundred Refinement Body Technique was cultivated to one hundred layers, one could begin to cultivate Spiritual Power.

Perhaps if they waited a few more years, it wouldn't be impossible for him to cultivate Spiritual Power.

Before long, the Sword Crane vanished, and Wang Mu reappeared in everyone's sight.

It was his first time performing the Transformation Skill, and he felt something subtle.

How should he put it... He didn't feel like he had actually turned into a Sword Crane.

Rather... in the perception of those watching, he had *become* a Sword Crane.

This transformation didn't consume much Spiritual Power but was very draining on the spirit. It involved using one's mind to alter the surrounding Yin Yang, thereby constructing the Sword Crane's form and spirit and influencing others' perceptions.
