Reconstructing the body will be extremely painful.
Chen Yun had been mentally prepared for a long time and was not afraid at all.
He began to practice the qigong according to the method of "Eight-Nine Mysteries of Change".
The true Qi begins to wander within the body, continuously "decomposing" the physical form.
According to reason, this process should be very painful.
However, Chen Yun unexpectedly found that he didn't feel any pain at all, and instead, the process went out of his expectation smoothly.
His physical body was instantly disintegrated into countless "particles," then held together and stable by the true Qi, not easily scattered by a single breeze.
"Hmm?"
Chen Yun was somewhat astonished, "How did I manage to succeed all of a sudden? Last time the Dao qi..."
Ah!
Hold on!
Dao qi?
Chen Yun seemed to dimly understand something, "When the Dao Qi manifests into a Dao body, my physical body has already been 'pulverized' once, which is equivalent to having been reorganized. So even if I manifest into a Dao body and change into another form, when the Dao Qi withdraws back into my body, I can still return to my original appearance."
That's why I didn't feel any pain when trying to recombine my body.
It turns out that I had already been body-recombined before.
This discovery delighted Chen Yun greatly.
I have saved a lot of time!
Thinking of the manifestation of Dao qi into Dao body, he couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, "When I first took three fire dates, according to the teachings of my master, I could manifest three different Dao bodies. So far, I have only manifested the Wind Thunder Dao body. The original qi of the remaining two fire dates has not been sensed at all, and I also do not know when it will be manifested."
Such things usually can't be rushed.
Chen Yun remembered that Master Zhang and his teacher had once said that the qi of the first fire date is relatively easy to manifest and occurs relatively quickly within a year. If it takes a little longer, it will basically not exceed a hundred years.
The qi manifestation of the second fire date often takes a longer time.
According to past experience, if he engaged in constant battles and put his physical body in mortal danger, it would be easier to stimulate the Dao Qi and thus perform a second manifestation.
As he pondered here, Chen Yun suddenly remembered that his teacher had given him three lifesaving immortal qi.
He blinked his eyes and thought to himself: "I feel that my master, by calculating with his fingers, had already foreseen danger. He gave me these three lifesaving immortal qi, which may not have been solely for my survival, but also largely to prevent me from quickly exciting the Dao Qi of the second fire date."
Xie Ziran had previously speculated that the stronger the physical body, the more powerful the Dao body it can evoke.
This point Chen Yun confirmed during his first manifestation of the Dao body. Indeed, the stronger the physical body, the more powerful the Dao body it can evoke.
"I feel that the three lifesaving immortal qi my master gave me were to suppress my second Dao Qi manifestation. He didn't want me to truly be in danger of dying and being revived, thus triggering the manifestation of the Dao body through the qi of the second fire date."
Chen Yun knew that his master did this to highly likely hope that the second Dao body he would manifest would be even stronger, which is why he used the three lifesaving immortal qi to suppress the manifestation of the Dao Qi.
"Based on this, I can't seem to activate the Dao Qi of the second fire date within the Yueyue Lake Cave."
Chen Yun was not disappointed by this.
After all, in the future, as his physical body becomes stronger, he will be able to evoke a stronger Dao body.
Currently, the Wind Thunder Dao body is sufficient to deal with the situation.
His attention turned back to the changes technique.
Since the body recombination is fine, it's time to start trying the changes.
To change into another object, one needs to first understand the structure of the desired object.
Chen Yun first ended the recombination state of his body and then released his spiritual consciousness to start understanding the structure of a rock not far away.
The structure of the rock is relatively simple.
According to the degree of crystallization of the rock, its structure can be divided into three major categories: fully crystalline structure, semi-crystalline structure, and glassy structure.
Of course, there are other ways to classify it.
These are not important to Chen Yun.
He only needs to record the specific structure of the rock with his spiritual consciousness.
Because the rock structure is simple, he almost didn't spend much time and recorded the complete structure.
"Now we can start trying to change."
Chen Yun first made his physical body recombine, and then began to use true qi to simulate and try to replicate the structure of the rock.
At this time, Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and Zhang Ling and others were chatting nearby.
Wu Kejiu asked, "Are Gao Chen and the others in danger?"
Another cultivator releasing his magical power to observe the situation, a woman called Sun Yan, answered, "There is no danger for the time being. The poisonous gas released by the centipede-like demon beast has just corroded a small cave in the rock, and it has not yet penetrated into the ground."
Qin Ming let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that there's no danger."
Zhang Ling's tense expression relaxed, and she smiled as she steered the conversation away from the subject, "I wonder what kind of method Mr. Chen has to save everyone."
Wu Kejiu actually wasn't quite sure, but he could roughly guess that he said with a wink, "Mr. Chen asked to change into an ox-themed Dao body before. I guess he was going to change into an ox-themed Dao body through his changes technique."
"But he wasn't supposed to understand the changes technique, was he?" Zhang Ling asked with confusion.
"Yes."
"This changes technique is not that easy to practice, is it?"
Qin Ming and the others also spoke out.
Wu Kejiu had no idea about that, and he didn't know how to answer everyone.
At this time, the short man who was practicing "corpse technique" suddenly shouted, "Uh? Mr. Chen? Where did Mr. Chen suddenly disappear?"
Where did Mr. Chen disappear?
He wasn't practicing over there, was he?
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Zhang Ling and others looked at each other in disbelief and turned to look at the short man, thinking he was joking.
They had just turned their heads, and all of them were stunned in place.
The place where Chen Yun had been sitting was now without a trace of his figure.
Only a rock and a campfire steaming wolf stomach soup remained.
Zhang Ling was shocked and asked, "Where is Mr. Chen?"
Qin Ming was also baffled and said, "We've been standing here; we didn't see Mr. Chen leave."
Wu Kejiu's stunned eyes turned black as he blurted out, "Even if we disregard his understanding of me, he wouldn't just leave without a word. Even if he wanted to leave without a word, there would always be some kind of movement when using flying or Five Elemental Mysteries."
Everyone has been standing here without moving. How could they not notice any signs of movement?
The others also realized this.
So we can certainly say that Chen Yun did not leave without a word.
But Chen Yun really disappeared suddenly before our eyes. So where has he gone?
Wu Kejiu suddenly thought of a very terrible possible outcome.
He felt that Chen Yun might have been taken away by some powerful demon beast.
And the demon beast was too powerful.
So powerful that it could carry away Chen Yun without them noticing a thing.
If that's true, it means that Gao Chen and the others in the ground may not have died, but they will be in trouble first!
At the thought of this, Wu Kejiu couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine.
Even so, as a cultivator of the superior wizard realm, he couldn't help but be scared to the point where his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
Wu Kejiu couldn't sit still anymore, and urgently called out, "Quickly release your magical powers to sense the surroundings, and see if you can find Mr. Chen, or if there are any other powerful demon beasts besides the centipede-like demon beast!"
"Hmm?"
"What does Master Wu mean?"
"Hiss, could there be any other powerful demon beasts here besides the centipede-like demon beast?"
"There's a possibility! Otherwise, why would Elder Chen suddenly disappear from our sight?"
Qin Ming and the rest of the more than twenty people, including Zhang Ling, were all scared to death, and everyone was quite frightened.
Some even showed fear on their faces.
Every person released their Qi wildly, as if they were spending it without a care.
After a moment, the magical powers of the twenty-some people almost covered an area of hundreds of miles around, but nothing was found!
Master Wu's face was as serious as a grave, and he asked, "Have you found anything?"
Qin Ming's face was as pale as iron, "Nothing."
Zhang Ling's courage was a bit small, and her face was pale as death, "Oh no! Mr. Chen has really been in trouble! Even if he is so powerful and can disappear without a sound, we are all……"
She didn't finish her sentence.
The faces of everyone on the spot were as pale as death, and everyone thought of terrible consequences.
The centipede-like demon beast in the ground seems to have no strong attack currently, and it will not pose a threat to them.
However, the hidden demon beast they couldn't detect seems to have a strong attack, and it quietly carried away Chen Yun.
Who could resist if it attacks them next?
At the moment, whether it was Master Wu and Qin Ming, two of the upper-level wizards, or Zhang Ling and Sun Yan, the slightly weaker practitioners, were all petrified and instinctively huddled together in a circle to prevent the hidden demon beast lurking in the dark from attacking.
As everyone was in a state of terror, an even more terrifying scene unfolded!
Suddenly, the rock next to the campfire emitted a "ha ha ha" of laughter.
"That rock is the demon beast!"
"Be careful everyone!"
"Pull out your weapons and attack it!"
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and the others were extremely nervous, and for a moment, they didn't realize that the laughter was from Chen Yun's voice.
With a swift motion, the twenty or so people all drew their magical artifacts, which shone with brilliance, seemingly preparing to attack!
Change into a rock Chen Yun was startled, and quickly materialized his figure, shouting loudly, "Friends, it's me. Don't attack!"
"Ahh?"
"Mr. Chen?"
Wu Kejiu and Sun Yan, as well as the others, were all stunned and rooted to the spot.
No one expected that the rock in front of them would suddenly turn into Chen Yun's appearance!
Chen Yun couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow as he looked at the stunned crowd.
The reason he turned into a rock and materialized as a formless entity instead of revealing himself was not due to some whim.
He wanted to try his changes technique and see if it could be detected or sensed by the practitioners' magic power.
If it could be discovered by others, then there's no need to practice this technique at all.
After all, Wu Kejiu and others could sense it.
If he can't be discovered when changing into a rooster, how can the stronger centipede-like demon beast detect it?
The test results were very satisfying; Wu Kejiu and others indeed didn't detect it.
Chen Yun looked at the surprised faces, secretly excited, thinking that the Changes Art of the "Eight-Nine Mysteries" is really amazing. It can't even be detected by practitioners' magical power to sense its own existence. If he understands the structure of everything, how easily can he succeed when encountering powerful enemies or wanting to sneak up on others and change into other objects?
Cool!
This changes technique is too awesome!
Chen Yun was very excited in his heart, knowing that as long as he had enough magical power to change into a huge rooster, he might be able to save Gao Chen and Ding Xu and the others!
He was indeed very excited in his heart.
However, when Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and Zhang Ling, who had just snapped out of it, looked at each other in disbelief.
Zhang Ling stared with wide-open eyes and stammered, "Mr. Chen, you...you learned the changes technique so quickly?"
Sun Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "And this changes technique seems to be very powerful. Even when we released our Qi to search, we couldn't detect any traces of it."
Yes!
What changes technique is this? It's so amazing!
Everyone was truly shocked!
