"Now at the Eighteen Layers Realm, a few streaks of sword light are enough to chop them into pieces..."

If a Beautiful Fist were to come down, I'm afraid it would be directly blasted into dust...

This Mechanical Man isn't much after all, Wang Mu thought, leaning back.

After reveling at Heavenly Sword Peak for a while, Wang Mu calmed himself and checked for any Travel events. In the past six months, there had indeed been one or two Travel events, but they were all related to the Sword Sect's restoration. These events were rather common, and the rewards weren't high; they were purely for restoring the former glory of the Sword Sect and increasing amity with the Sect. Now that the Sword Sect was almost fully restored, there was hardly any difference compared to when he first arrived.

Wang Mu sensed for a moment.

[Travel: ... Hidden Sword Peak(!)...]

Huh. Has Hidden Sword Peak finally received a follow-up Travel event? Wang Mu thought.

To learn the Transformation Skill from Hidden Sword Peak, Wang Mu had visited Hidden Sword Peak numerous times. Unfortunately, after the six-month conflict ended, aside from Sect Master Jian Wuqing of the Six Great Peaks who was handling affairs externally, the other Peak Leaders had all entered seclusion to heal their injuries. He couldn't find any of them.

Now that the Travel event has been triggered, it seems Master Lu has emerged from seclusion... he mused. Let's go learn the Transformation Skill...

Wang Mu expended some Action points.

[Travel: ... Hidden Sword Peak (Feixian Cliff, five days)...]

Now that the Eighteenth Layer of his Energy Introduction Skill was Fulfilled, his Action points had become abundant.

Wang Mu went directly to Hidden Sword Peak.

"Huh, Junior Brother Wang, why do I feel like you've become even more handsome?"

"TEEHEE..." one of them chuckled. "Junior Brother Wang, your aura seems different from usual today..."

"You two Senior Sisters look radiant today as well. Has Master Lu come out of seclusion?" Wang Mu asked.

"You're really astute... Go on in..."

After bantering with the two female disciples guarding the gate, Wang Mu entered Hidden Sword Peak and arrived at Feixian Cliff.

It was midday, but Wang Mu could still see Master Lu under the peach tree, talking with the female disciple from the Feathered People Clan. The siblings from the Feathered People Clan were named Yu Xiang (the brother) and Yu Yi (the sister). The sister had joined Hidden Sword Peak, and the brother had joined Upper Cloud Peak. Both siblings were very diligent at their respective Sword Peaks; their efforts ranked among the top five, and they had both achieved Foundation Establishment by now.

After a while, the female disciple flew away.

Master Lu turned around, looked at Wang Mu, and said with a smile, seemingly already knowing he would come, "I knew you would come, young man... Eh? Your body..."

Master Lu's eyes scanned him, a hint of bewildered surprise in her gaze as she looked at Wang Mu.

"Master, I have come to learn the Thousand Illusion Twelve Transformations."

In fact, around this time last year—his second year—before heading to the grand Alchemy Dao event, Wang Mu had visited Hidden Sword Peak once. At that time, he had already mastered the basics of the Transformation Skill, the Yin Yang Chaos Technique, to Fulfillment because it was very quick to learn using Action points. However, as there were no Travel events, Wang Mu had wanted to see if he could directly trigger an event to learn the subsequent Thousand Illusion Twelve Transformations. But Master Lu had said it was not yet the right time and didn't teach him. Wang Mu guessed it might have been because his amity with Hidden Sword Peak wasn't sufficient, or perhaps he hadn't met other conditions... until now.

Master Lu pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Alright, it's time to teach you this skill."

Wang Mu's heart stirred. Success!

This was a secret skill among the secret skills of Hidden Sword Peak, a truly unique and guarded art. It would not be passed on to outsiders. No matter how good one's relationship was with the disciples of Hidden Sword Peak, they would not teach this particular art; they would only teach the Yin Yang Chaos Technique. While the latter was also a Miao Skill, it felt like something was missing. To learn the Thousand Illusion Twelve Transformations, one could only learn from Master Lu.

"First, tell me why you want to learn this art," Master Lu asked.

"For self-protection," Wang Mu replied. "If I encounter danger during my travels in the future and have no other means, I can transform into something else and flee."

Master Lu smiled noncommittally.

"Let me give you a brief overview of this art first," she said. "This art is divided into Twelve Changes. These Twelve Changes are categorized into the Lower Six Changes and the Upper Six Changes. The Lower Six Changes are: Beast Transformation, Demon Spirit Transformation, Evil Transformation, Ghostly Transformation, Crown Beast Transformation, and Heavenly Person Transformation. The Upper Six Changes are: Five Elements Transformation, Four Spirits Transformation, Three Souls Transformation, Heaven and Earth Transformation, Primordial Spirit Transformation, and finally, a general transformation called Heavenly Communication."

Wang Mu listened, and That sounds incredibly powerful! he thought.

"Although it is a Transformation Skill, it's a secret Divine Skill of my Hidden Sword Peak," Master Lu said. "Based on your Cultivation speed, once your Yin Yang Chaos Technique is Fulfilled, it's customary to wait until you reach Golden Core, or at least Foundation Establishment. Then, I could teach you one or two of the Twelve Changes."

"But now..." Master Lu scrutinized Wang Mu from head to toe. "You will suffice."

"For these Twelve Changes, our Hidden Sword Peak disciples usually choose one or two to cultivate. If one wishes to learn all Twelve Changes, who knows how many years it would take? You should choose a few. The Lower Six Changes are relatively easier; the Upper Six Changes are more difficult."

Wang Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Can't I learn them all?"

Master Lu stared at him, momentarily speechless.

"It's possible, but they are difficult to control..." she eventually said. "I'm afraid you won't be able to handle yourself."

"Master, how many have you learned?"

"Six, and I can manage them," she replied.

Wang Mu pondered. Since that's the case, I won't be greedy.

"Then I'll learn the Heavenly Person Transformation, Crown Beast Transformation, Evil Transformation, Demon Spirit Transformation, and the Five Elements Transformation..."

"Alright." Master Lu nodded.

With that said, she tapped her fingertips, and several Jade Scrolls flew into Wang Mu's brow.

"These are the Jade Scrolls for the five transformations. They are now within your Divine Sense, so you can comprehend them yourself," Master Lu explained. "You have already mastered the Yin Yang Chaos Technique and possess considerable talent in this Dao. Cultivation in this path is about comprehension, not instruction. However, I must caution you on several points that require special attention."
