"Mr. Bai, Xi Ran, come quickly!" Lu Lin’s voice was urgent, even more tense than when they encountered six Shadow Golden Leopards just now. Bai Buyi and Chen Xiran hurried over and were shocked to see Fang Gang lying inside the tent. "This... is actually..." "It’s Transforming Five Evils!" Fang Gang was lying in his sleeping bag, his face shrouded in endless black mist. The black mist exuded a fierce and sharp aura. Lu Lin had never seen this before and didn’t realize it was Fang Gang’s life Water Sha. He thought Fang Gang had encountered some crisis. "Transforming Five Evils? Is this what it is?" Bai Buyi nodded, "Don’t worry, when a warrior is transforming Five Evils, outsiders can’t provide help and might even disrupt them." "We just need to stand guard here." Lu Lin agreed and closed the tent for Fang Gang. "Mr. Bai, what’s this Transforming Five Evils all about, can you tell me?" Although Lu Lin had reached Level 3 Peak more than ten days ago, he was busy with learning and cultivation every day and hadn’t had time to understand the principles and specific process of Transforming Five Evils. "Ah, Transforming Five Evils, this is a long story. Let me briefly explain it to you." Actually, in the nineteenth group, the other three had all come across the training methods of Transforming Five Evils. Lu Lin didn’t ask Chen Xiran because she hadn’t reached that stage of cultivation either, and could only reiterate the knowledge from books. In the early stages of human cultivation, the term Transforming Five Evils didn’t exist. After reaching the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels, humans still refined Star Veins for enhancement as they did before. However, this approach encountered bottlenecks. And it didn’t greatly improve the martial artist’s abilities. Back then, there were numerous geniuses who could fight beyond their level. As long as they mastered one or two advanced Star Martial skills, Level 3 could challenge Level 4, 5, and even 6 were common. Advanced cultivation levels only increased Star Power storage without much other benefits. Trying to break through to the next Gold Body Realm was virtually impossible. Many human martial sages, realizing this, delved deep into the Exotic Battlefield, learning, observing, and researching the cultivation methods of exotic beasts and alien races, and after over a hundred years of continuous experiments, they finally summarized a cultivation method suitable for humans. Fourth level, Transforming Five Evils. Fifth level, Refining Five Viscera. Sixth level, Connecting Five Senses. Completing these three steps while accumulating Star Power and refining Star Veins leads to a qualitative leap in physical fitness, potentially breaking through to the Golden Body Realm. Later, they also acquired body refining skills from various secret realms, greatly enhancing the probability of humans entering the Golden Body Realm. But that’s another story, not to be discussed here. At the fourth level, transforming Five Evils involves refining the five elements’ Evil Qi between heaven and earth, integrating it into Star Power, allowing full and perfect comprehension Evil Qi to enhance the power of Star Power. The Five Evils are divided into Metal Evil, Wood Evil, Water Evil, Fire Evil, and Earth Evil. There’s no strict requirement for refining order. However, based on experiences accumulated over a thousand years of human cultivation, the best choice is to first refine one’s life Killing, like Lu Lin, who has Earth Talent, should first refine Earth Evil. Chen Xiran, who has Fire Talent, should first refine Fire Evil. For those with intangible and mutant talent attributes like Space, Deduction, Summon, Light, and Dark, there’s no life Killing, and they can choose freely. Yet, despite lacking a life Killing, these martial artists with special attributes would still preferably choose to refine Water Evil or Wood Evil, which are relatively milder, for refining. Lu Lin nodded. He previously only had a simple concept of Transforming Five Evils, knowing it involved refining Five Elements Evil Qi. However, after Bai Buyi’s explanation, he gained a general understanding of the origins of Transforming Five Evils. He was deeply impressed by the sacrifices made by human predecessors. Bai Buyi’s words seemed simple, yet it depicted countless human martial artists’ sacrifices and struggles in exploring future cultivation paths. In this single sentence, there are at least thousands of martial artists who have fought and sacrificed for it. Even more, countless exploration warriors ventured into the depths of different regions, dying namelessly outside. "Hmm, this is just some basic knowledge. You’ll know it once you start attending classes." "The Five Elements Evil Qi appears unexpectedly; as long as you reach Level 3 Peak, it can appear at any time." "Now, that’s exactly what’s happening with Fang Gang." "We just need to watch; there’s nothing else we can do." Lu Lin and Chen Xiran both nodded. From time to time, they would peek into the tent to check on Fang Gang. After all, they were about to transform Five Evils themselves, so accumulating some experience couldn’t hurt. Fang Gang’s first refining took about three hours. The silver star band in the sky gradually disappeared, and a golden white sun rose. Fang Gang in the tent let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. A look of surprise appeared on his face. He didn’t expect that just on the first day in the Exotic Battlefield, he successfully refined his life Killing smoothly. The path ahead seemed more manageable. "Fang Gang, you’re truly a little genius." Fang Gang said this while unzipping the tent to see the three pairs of eyes outside. "Did you succeed in refining?" Fang Gang nodded blankly, "Yes, everyone is up already." Chen Xiran laughed, "Your luck is great, refining your life Killing just after arriving at the Exotic Battlefield. Last night, you probably didn’t even know what happened." "If it weren’t for the team leader’s timely warning, we would have been dragged to the lair by the Shadow Golden Leopards." "Shadow Golden Leopards?" Fang Gang walked out of the tent and saw traces of blood on the grass outside, along with some scattered internal organ fragments, and clicked his tongue in secret. "Were these Shadow Golden Leopards led here by me?" Bai Buyi said, "But there’s an 80% chance." Fang Gang was instantly deflated; didn’t this basically mean that when he was refining his Life Killing, he was detected by the Shadow Golden Leopards? This night, he narrowly escaped death. However, luckily, the result was good. "Team leader, it just so happens that I’ve broken through to the Fourth Level. How about you guide me through a Star Skill?" "With my enhanced strength, I can be a greater help to the team in the future." Lu Lin had Fang Gang sit in place and dragged him into the Star Power Domain. Soon, Fang Gang grasped the first Star Skill of the Fourth Level. This was an offensive Star Skill. It allowed Star Power to spread in ripple form, invisible and colorless, yet wave after wave assaulting the opponent. Lu Lin let him release it on himself and felt like Stone Skin wasn’t very useful. These ripples were a mysterious attack mode, able to bypass the Stone Skin defense and directly attack Lu Lin’s flesh, bones, and internal organs. With the help of the Golden Body Sutra, the ripples didn’t do much harm to Lu Lin’s skin, flesh, or bones, but when the force was transmitted into his organs, Lu Lin nearly spat blood. This attack was rather eerie and very powerful. However, it always enhanced the team’s combat capability. In future battles, Fang Gang could directly participate instead of just providing support from the side. After breakfast, Lu Lin activated the Guiding Star Skill again and led the team out. Liu Chang has been running from his grasp for so long, which is quite commendable. This time, Lu Lin chased until nightfall without spotting any trace of Liu Chang. He couldn’t help but remark, how is this guy so adept at running? But having set a goal in the morning, Lu Lin was determined to accomplish it. "Everyone, take a break. We’ll continue the chase afterward." "This is our first Exotic Battlefield mission. If it drags on too long, the higher-ups might look down on us." Since morning, everyone had held in a breath without rest. Liu Chang was as slippery as an eel, slipping away if they weren’t careful. The first time, he quietly left in the cave but was discovered by Chen Xiran, yet trouble arose due to a group of flame beetles. The second time, in the underground river passage cave, they didn’t even catch a glimpse of him. Today, after running all day, although the silver star band in the sky was gradually becoming visible, there was still no trace of him. After a brief rest, Lu Lin once again employed the Guiding Star Skill. Whether it was due to increased speed or Liu Chang also becoming tired, Lu Lin saw the arrow pointing to a distant mountain and breathed a sigh of relief. "We’re almost there. I feel Liu Chang is just ahead." "Let’s regroup here. Once we go up, no time for nonsense, knock him out and take him away." Lu Lin and the others rested without making a fire and began eating the prepared compressed biscuits. At this time, atop the mountain. A group of aliens with white wings was clinking cups with a Dark Silk Clan person. "Mr. He Ming, thank you so much for this time." "Otherwise, if the Saint’s body were captured, who knows how long it would be before the Saint could descend." The Dark Silk Clan person took a sip of wine and said. "Mr. Hei, you’re too kind. We’re all working for the Saint, no need to mention it. Come, drink." He Ming was tall with a beautiful face; if introduced to the Humans’ Federation, he’d be able to debut right away. However, behind him were two enormous white wings, even folded, they stood two and a half meters tall. The Dark Silk Clan person replied and drank. "However, Mr. He Ming, this time the Saint is descending to lead the unification of a hundred gods in the Tianyuan Continent. I’ll take the body to Dragon-watching Mountain shortly." "The sooner the Saint Lord descends, the sooner we of the Tianyuan Hundred Clans can be freed." "Alright, for the glory of our holy religion, cheers." A black and a white hand, holding wine cups, clinked together. Next to them, Liu Chang sat quietly, without resistance, as if a puppet. At the mountain’s base. After resting, Lu Lin and his team began climbing the mountain. This mountain was composed of rocks, straight up into the clouds. At the mountain foot, a few sparse plants struggled to grow, but the higher they went, the steeper the mountain became, to the point where even birds found it hard to ascend. Initially, Lu Lin and the others could walk up, but midway, they had to use both hands, inching their way upward. Fortunately, the four in the group were all Star Core Warriors, with strength and endurance far exceeding ordinary people. Soon, Lu Lin led the way to the top, and the scenery compared to below was much better. There were flowers, grass, and buildings meticulously carved. It was evident that those living here had quite a lifestyle. Seeing the aliens with white wings on their backs, Lu Lin suddenly realized. Liu Chang had sought refuge with another alien race.
