Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Ever since ten days ago, the residents of Gua State have been in shock because the ground kept shaking, and the source of the tremors came from within the Changbai Mountain Range.

Initially, the locals thought that the earth dragon turned over, until some of the townsfolk who worship Demon Immortals saw the plaques of the Demon Immortals in their family shrines trembling, and they bellowed angrily toward the direction of the Changbai Mountain Range.

Everyone speculated that something must have angered the Demon Immortals in the forbidden area of the mountains, causing them to unleash their wrath.

As people who have lived for generations in the land of White Mountain Black Water, all the residents knew well that the Demon Immortals in the forbidden area of the mountains had intervened.

Even the Northeast General Leader, Lord Cao Yangu, needs to hold some awe toward those forbidden lands.

Who dares to cause a ruckus there?

As the tremors continued, even the Gua State Government was alerted, and they started reporting the situation up the ranks, which immediately brought a group of high-realm Martial Practitioners from Changbai Province into the forests to investigate.

...

Sun Dianqing, a Direct Disciple of Northeast General Leader Cao Yangu, now possessing an Eleventh Realm Martial Path True Body cultivation, personally led a team into the mountains to find out the truth.

Upon entering, he realized how unusual the situation was here.

All of Wuji Mountain, which belongs to the ’Violent Demon Ape’ clan, had been mobilized and was engaging in combat with a group of Qi Cultivators from Yuan Country.

The leading Qi Cultivator surprisingly had an Eleventh Realm peak cultivation, and among the five Qi Cultivators accompanying him, two had Tenth Realm Divinity Transformation cultivation.

The six of them formed a large formation that could engage in consecutive days of combat with the Thirteenth Realm Great Demon, the Violent Demon Ape, without a clear victor.

After his investigation, Sun Dianqing also discovered why so many high-level Qi Refiners from Yuan Country had come here.

He found that the source of power for the formation set up by those six was actually drawing limitless Spiritual Energy from beneath the ground.

Underneath the Changbai Mountain Range, there is a spirit mine needed by Qi Cultivators from Yuan Country. Some old martial artists and high-ranking officials in Gua State are aware of this, but they also know that these spirit mines are closely linked to the forbidden areas within the mountains.

So, always in semi-concealment about this fact, they feared that Yuan Country would discover the spirit mines’ resources here.

Unexpectedly, after a year of war between the two countries, the secret beneath the Changbai Mountain Range was exposed. As a Martial Practitioner of Ji Country, Sun Dianqing made the most correct decision, which was to absolutely prevent this secret from disseminating.

This was both to protect his homeland and to prevent Yuan Country’s schemes from succeeding.

Thus, he directly chose to join the Violent Demon Ape’s camp and launched an attack on the formation created by those six Qi Cultivators.

At the same time, he didn’t forget to use messenger eagles to quickly report the situation back to the capital, informing his master Cao Yangu and submitting it to the Imperial Court.

Boom!

A large area of forest was razed to the ground, and what was once a vast expanse of White Mountain Black Water was completely reduced to devastation. The destructive power of the Violent Demon Ape was terrifying.

It was like an inexhaustible ancient creature relentlessly hammering down on the formation below, which seemed as fragile as an eggshell.

Meanwhile, Sun Dianqing assisted from the side, and after launching a fist mark, the sky was filled with fist shadows like chaotic arrows, bombarding the formation, yet...

Even the combined efforts of the Thirteenth Realm Great Demon and the Eleventh Realm peak Martial Practitioner Sun Dianqing could not shake the formation that resembled an eggshell.

"It is that pagoda, which is at least a Thirteenth Realm Magical Treasure, protecting them and continuously absorbing underground Spiritual Energy as the source of the treasure’s mana!"

Despite the continuous attacks by Sun Dianqing and the Violent Demon Ape for several days, they could not break through, which made them anxious. Sun Dianqing shouted at the Violent Demon Ape:

"Yuan Taigong, if we cannot knock down the Magical Treasure atop the formation, we cannot break this formation.

As one of the leading figures among Northeast Martial Practitioners, influenced by his master Cao Yangu’s unparalleled cultivation, he was more familiar with the identities of some Demon Immortals within the Changbai Mountain Range compared to others.

For instance, this giant ape, as large as a mountain, was a Great Demon of Wuji Cliff, presiding over countless monkeys and apes, given the title by the Martial Forest of the Northeast as ’Yuan Taigong’.

Even before the founding of the Daji, and in even older dynasties, the Martial Practitioners of Northeast had interactions and connections with the demons and monsters within the Changbai Mountain Range.

Through the efforts of predecessors, they successfully achieved today’s environment where humans and the Great Demons in the mountains do not interfere with each other.

Thus, the Violent Demon Ape, the master of the forbidden area, adhered to this principle and even understood some of Sun Dianqing’s intentions.

Its hill-like fists were pounding the formation while also seeming hesitant about something...

Meanwhile, within the formation.

Led by Lin Dong, the six Yuan Country Qi Cultivators each stood at six positions, holding Array Flags in their hands, watching the giant furry fists outside bombarding continuously, yet they were unable to shake the formation.

A nine-tiered, four-cornered golden pagoda hung suspended in mid-air, continuously emitting runes, forming a vast sea-like area that enveloped them.

A young Sword Cultivator murmured, "Fortunately, before setting out, we had this Thirteenth Realm Magical Treasure, the ’Desolate Sky Tower’, bestowed by Prince Zhao, or else we would’ve long been smashed into pieces by this Thirteenth Realm Great Demon."

It turned out that just ten days ago, after Chen Ku provoked this Violent Demon Ape, Lin Dong immediately sent messages to fellow cultivators to come here and activated this most precious Magical Treasure on him. Finding the spirit mine underground, they continuously guided the underground Spiritual Energy, unexpectedly succeeding in unleashing the power of this Thirteenth Realm Magical Treasure, preventing the Thirteenth Realm Great Demon from breaking in.
