Chapter 340: Deriving a Divine Technique

"Thousand Machines Jade Universe Golden Chapter" was discovered by Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi in the ruins of the Tianji Sect within the Hundred Stone Grotto Heaven on the borders of Shi Lin Province. Although it is only a Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique, it has the effects of discerning Qi and clarifying Karma. Li Fan's ability to comprehend Formless Killing Intent was largely due to the Jade Universe Golden Chapter.

"Heaven Stealing Sun Switching Art" was obtained by Li Fan from Si Kongyi, the successor of the Stealing the Sky Changing the Sun Sect. It can seize life spans and create Clones. It truly lived up to its name of stealing the sky and changing the sun.

As for the secret technique, Appearance Follows the Heart's Change, it came from Zhou Qingang, a spy for the Five Old Men Association and the guardian of Taian Island. Paired with the natural treasure, the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, it can change one's appearance to look like another, even deceiving the tests of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's White Jade Heart-Questioning Platform.

Qi, life span, and appearance.

Combining these three, theoretically, one could completely transform into another Cultivator.

Li Fan had this intention before.

However, they were all profound and mysterious existences. With Li Fan's current theoretical accumulation, even if he sat in meditation for several hundred years, he might not necessarily be able to create a New Dharma based on them.

Now that he had the opportunity to use the derivation law jade for derivation, and considering that the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array will soon be popularized, leaving the world's Cultivators with no privacy to speak of.

Then for Li Fan, this ability to have another identity at any time was quite important.

Therefore, without hesitation, Li Fan wrote down the contents of the two Cultivation Techniques and the secret technique on the white paper.

Although it was only one page, as the writing increased, the characters became smaller and smaller.

No matter how much content there was, it could accommodate it.

In an instant, Li Fan stopped thinking, and the white paper was occupied by countless dense small characters.

"Are you done?"

The little girl was still resting her chin on her hands, staring blankly at the table, asking without even looking up.

"Done…"

Li Fan nodded slightly. Before the word "done" could leave his mouth, the white paper in his hand turned into streaks of light and drifted toward the desk where the little girl was lying.

On the table, countless characters suddenly appeared.

Upon seeing them, the little girl pouted, looking a bit unhappy: "You have such high requirements, completely transforming into someone else."

"You have the blueprint techniques for Qi, life span, and appearance changes, but what about flesh and blood, Divine Sense, and Divine Soul?"

Hearing this, Li Fan wasn't embarrassed, but spoke the truth helplessly: "Collecting these current techniques has already taken all my effort. Techniques for transforming flesh, Divine Sense, and Divine Soul are extremely rare and beyond my current capabilities."

"What, is it impossible to derive?" Li Fan asked, looking at the little girl.

"It's possible, but I finally had a rare chance to rest for a while. How annoying…" The little girl looked up and glared at Li Fan, muttering softly.

Li Fan's heart stirred, but he acted as if he hadn't heard anything. His expression remained unchanged as he watched the derivation law jade's movements intently.

She slapped the table with her chubby hands, and the countless characters on the surface immediately flew backward like flowing water toward the giant sphere overhead.

They joined the sequence of rapid transformation and derivation.

The frequency of the characters flashing was several times faster than when Li Fan had first seen it.

Meanwhile, the little girl lying on the table looked extremely sleepy, her head nodding off repeatedly.

Li Fan was lost in thought and didn't dare to disturb her.

He quietly looked up, staring at the sphere composed of changing characters above.

This place was clearly not a physical space.

It was more like a world composed purely of consciousness.

But Li Fan's Clone had undoubtedly come here with its physical body and was interacting with consciousness.

Besides the consciousness of the derivation law jade, Li Fan occasionally felt another gaze sweeping over him in this space.

The owner of the gaze did not hide their presence, and the warning intent in their eyes was clearly revealed.

Therefore, Li Fan behaved quite reservedly.

With his silence and the little girl's drowsiness,

this space fell into complete silence.

Only the light from above, following the constantly changing characters, reflected onto Li Fan's face,

making his expression seem somewhat unpredictable.

"derivation law jade…"

After these three words flashed in his mind, Li Fan suppressed all thoughts and silently calculated the passage of time.

Other than that, he thought of nothing else.

When over four hours had passed since the derivation law jade's derivation began,

the giant sphere above erupted with a burst of dazzling light.

At the same time, the little girl seemed to wake up from her slumber.

Rubbing her eyes, she looked like she hadn't slept enough and said weakly: "It's done."

Countless small characters immediately emerged on the table, turning into a piece of white paper that reappeared in Li Fan's hand.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and read carefully.

"Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation."

"Using mysterious and unpredictable power, it copies all life fluctuations of the target and performs corresponding transformations."

"If there is no target, a transformation can also be randomly generated."

"When targeting a living being, the first transformation requires a small portion of the target's biological tissue."

"If there is no target, no Materials are needed."

"It can only copy life traces, not Cultivation Techniques or Realms."

"It can only target living beings with a cultivation of Nascent Soul or below. After transformation, regardless of the previous cultivation, the maximum cultivation retained will only be the Nascent Soul Realm."

Li Fan slowly memorized the contents of the technique, and the writing on the white paper gradually dissipated.

"As expected of the derivation law jade, the effects of this Qi Xuan True Spirit Transformation are even better than I anticipated. I just wonder how it will actually perform in practice." Li Fan grew more pleased as he read, and he couldn't help but repeatedly ponder the technique's details.

Although it was only a Nascent Soul level technique, the limitations were only reflected in the selection of targets and the power limit after transformation.

For the ability of "transformation" itself, there was no compromise.

Looking further down, besides "transformation," once the technique was mastered, it also had the ability to "discern."

As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor.

Because completely transforming into another person requires a thorough understanding of the essence of life.

Thus, after the Cultivation Technique reaches Major Achievement, one would naturally understand how to distinguish the authenticity of a living being.

To Li Fan's even greater surprise, the True Spirit Transformation technique also retained the method of creating Clones from the Heaven Stealing Sun Switching Art.

When creating a Clone, one could integrate the mysterious transformation power of the True Spirit Transformation.

To create a perfect replica of the target.

…

Li Fan couldn't help but immerse himself in this mysterious and unpredictable divine technique.

Although it was only at the Nascent Soul level, the "Advanced" feel of the technique's effects made Li Fan feel it was even superior to the Cloud Water Illusion Dream Skill.

After a long time, seeing that Li Fan had not responded, the little girl said sullenly: "Time is almost up. If there's anything you want to improve, you can tell me."

Having said that, she yawned and looked at Li Fan weakly.

Only then did Li Fan snap out of it.

The white paper in his hand had completely disappeared, and the contents of the technique were etched into his memory.

Li Fan solemnly bowed to the derivation law jade: "I am very satisfied."

"Thank you for your hard work."
