This was a perfect restoration of Dongfang Mu’s image, coupled with years of maintenance... His deanor, expressions, clothing, and overall appearance—in the words of the villagers—were exactly the sa as they had been a thousand years ago, without a single difference.
Ever since Anle Village erected this statue, it had rarely suffered attacks from the outside world. In the ever-changing Nine Provinces, amidst incessant transformations over a millennium, Anle Village sohow remained undisturbed. In the mysterious workings of fate, there seed to be divine protection.
Wang Mu looked at the statue. The more he looked, the more he found a resemblance to himself...
"I must be seeing things..." Wang Mu shook his head and said.
There was still a slight difference from the character in the ga.
He imprinted every detail of the statue into his mind. To transform, one first needed to visualize the person to be imitated in the Sea of Consciousness. The clearer and more distinct the visualization, the better the transformation would resemble the target. However, simply by visualizing in the mind, one might have to bear certain karmic repercussions...
The process was generally quite lengthy. Even at its quickest, it usually took several months. As Master Lu Youlian had said, it took one of her senior martial sisters several months to successfully mimic her appearance. That was already considered quite talented.
Thinking of this, Wang Mu couldn’t help but take a deep breath...
Ti trickled by as the figure in his mind gradually beca clearer... As if in a trance, Wang Mu felt as though he had returned to the ga, becoming Dongfang Mu... Scene after scene unfolded as if happening to him in reality...
He didn’t know how much ti had passed...
"Heavenly Person Transformation!"
Wang Mu’s expression shifted sharply, and in an instant, his entire body began to emit faint glimrs of light. His body, like a cracking eggshell, developed countless fissures. Every inch of his skin, his hair, and even the clothes he wore underwent subtle yet increasingly noticeable changes! Specks of gold light began to seep through...
His stature hadn’t changed much; one could even say it remained the sa. But his facial features and aura underwent a vast transformation.
It seems I’ve succeeded...
On the first try?
Wang Mu was startled. He imdiately went to Yunlai Creek and looked at his reflection on the water’s surface. He couldn’t help but gasp.
It was identical to the statue! Even the subtle charm in the arch of the brows, hinting at a concealed sharpness and power ready to be unleashed, was exactly the sa.
It really is identical... Wang Mu pondered. Not only did I succeed, but I also don’t seem to feel any karmic pressure...
Master Lu had said that the more formidable the person being transford into, the heavier their karma and the stronger their Qi Fortune; consequently, the greater the karmic tribulations one would face after the transformation. Her senior martial sister, Ning Xiao, had experienced this. After transforming into Master Lu, she traveled with Sect Master Jian of that ti and encountered an overwhelmingly powerful Fierce Beast, which was a true calamity. For Cultivators, perceiving such pressure is typically very clear.
It feels as if there is absolutely no sensation whatsoever... Wang Mu thought. It’s as if I’ve transford into myself... A character like Dongfang Mu, who shouldered ancient heavenly decrees and opened the Gate of Apocalypse, must bear considerable Qi Fortune and karma. Forget ordinary Cultivators; anyone else attempting this Transformation Skill, or even just disguising themselves as him, would have to endure significant tribulations.
Next cos the deanor. Simply assuming soone’s appearance wasn’t enough. One had to imitate their behavior, expressions, movents, tone of voice, and so on. According to Master Lu, this was actually the most difficult part. Transforming into soone physically was relatively easy, but these other aspects were where flaws easily erged. Cultivators’ perceptions are sharp; they can easily sense when sothing is amiss. Even people who have known each other for many years might inadvertently reveal a slight flaw. Of course, such flaws aren’t easily detected by just anyone.
This part isn’t challenging for at all... Wang Mu thought. As my own ga character, no one should understand him better than I do.
The mont Wang Mu’s eyes shifted, his entire deanor seed to rge with that of the statue. His eyes now held a hint of disdainful loftiness, a quiet simplicity, and a nonchalant, carefree ease... In an instant, he seed to transform into that very character from the ga: the one who effortlessly swept aside countless masters, who navigated a myriad of temptations and dangers completely unscathed, and who was revered as a deity in the Martial Arts world.
A perfect likeness... Wang Mu observed, thinking to himself. A one-hundred-percent portrayal.
Wang Mu believed that even if Mo Xilan stood before him now, she would be absolutely unable to tell the difference.
Master Lu had said that as long as the transformation was complete, one would carry the karma of the person imitated. The transformation would be recognized by Heaven and Earth, making one identical to the original in every way. Normally, Divine Sense wouldn’t be able to detect it, unless the observer possessed special Divine Skills. Even if Divine Sense could see through the disguise, it couldn’t revert the transford person to their original form; identification would have to rely on scrutinizing habits, movents, personal aura, and many other minute details.
As for the cultivation... Wang Mu mused. Actually, my current strength... isn’t much different from my ga character’s. In the Three-Life Illusion Realm, I was fortunate enough to return to the ga and personally experience the strength of the Great Demon Piaomiao Xu. That power was nearing the Foundation Establishnt Stage, but not quite at the Foundation Establishnt Realm. Dongfang Mu defeated Piaomiao Xu, so his strength was likely also close to the Foundation Establishnt Realm... In other words, it’s quite similar to my current level.
However, I can’t use my Cultivation Techniques or Spiritual Power; I can only rely on physical strength. Using techniques like the Taixiao Sword Mysterious Skill I practice would be too conspicuous. If I rely only on physical strength, it would be very difficult for anyone to notice. Indeed, using only physical strength, my current condition is very close to that of Dongfang Mu from back then!
