Chapter 2027: Chapter 1995: Transfiguration Technique

"Big brother, big sister, what Race are you?"

"Big brother, big sister, the village chief said you’re really powerful, is that true, are you even stronger than the village chief?"

"Big bro..."

Looking at the Lion following at his side, Li Chen couldn’t help feeling a bit speechless.

Ox Dragon was clearly the chief of this village. After giving them a bit of hospitality, he went off to deal with his own affairs. The village was very simple and honest, and they lived the most basic, Primitive kind of life.

Even though the Demon Race here all had powerful auras, and it didn’t matter even if they neither ate nor drank, they still maintained the most Primitive survival mode: some were in charge of farming, some of hunting, some patrolled the surroundings.

In this world, there really weren’t only the Demon Race.

There were also many Ferocious Beasts in this world.

And in terms of sheer numbers, those Ferocious Beasts far exceeded the Demon Race—this was something Ox Dragon had personally told them.

As for where exactly those Ferocious Beasts came from, no one knew.

The Lion tagging along beside them seemed extremely interested in them. No matter where they went, he had to follow, and he tossed out questions one after another, as if he had endless doubts to ask about.

"I’m of the Human Race, she’s of the Demon Race." Finally unable to endure the Lion’s nonstop questions, Li Chen answered somewhat helplessly.

"Human Race and Demon Race!" The Lion’s eyes widened, sparkling brightly, making him look very cute—only, paired with that massive body of his, it was a bit terrifying.

"Did you come from outside? We don’t have any Human Race or Demon Race here." the Lion asked curiously.

"Then in your world, aside from the Demon Race, what other Races are there?" Li Chen started to probe in turn.

The Lion didn’t think much of it and casually replied, "Aside from us of the Demon Race, there’s also the Yaksha Race, Elf Race, Aquatic Race..."

Li Chen and Christina exchanged a glance. They really hadn’t expected there to be so many different Races in this world.

"Of course, the strongest is still our Demon Race." the Lion said with some pride. "Actually, at first I thought you were from the Elf Race, since your bodies are about the same size, but you still felt a bit different."

"You mean the human form." Christina smiled. "A human form is more suitable for Cultivation. His true body really is like this." As she spoke, Christina pointed at Li Chen, then added, "But my true body is not like this at all."

"Big sis’s true body?" The Lion stared with shining eyes, asking curiously, "What does your true body look like?"

Christina gave a mysterious smile. "I’d better not change into my true body, in case I scare you."

It wasn’t just the Lion—even Li Chen was somewhat curious. He had never seen Christina’s true body, not even earlier when they sparred with Ox Dragon had Christina taken on her true form.

Within the Demon Race, many true bodies were completely different. For example, that Abyssal Great Lord Manoros Li Chen had seen back in Remnant Cloud Forest, and also those Demon Race who looked similar to the Human Race, just with an extra pair of Demon’s Horn on their heads.

"So, big sis, is a human form really that suitable for Cultivation? How do you turn into a human form?" the Lion couldn’t help asking curiously.

Hearing this, Li Chen and Christina were both stunned.

"You... don’t know Shape Transformation?"

"Shape Transformation? What’s that? Turning into a human form?"

Li Chen and Christina looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile wryly. Earlier they had been guessing why these Demon Race never used Shape Transformation and instead chose to live in their current forms. After all, sometimes being too huge was inconvenient—take Ox Dragon, whose body was the size of a house; you needed an enormous building just to fit him inside.

They hadn’t expected that they actually didn’t know how to Shape Transform.

If it were just one or two, that would be one thing. The most unbelievable part was that every Demon Race in this village was completely incapable of Shape Transformation.

In the end, the two of them went to see Ox Dragon again.

"I heard you know the Art of Transformation?" Ox Dragon also widened his bovine eyes as he looked at the two of them.

"I don’t." Li Chen shrugged and pointed at Christina beside him. "She does."

For Li Chen, he simply didn’t need to learn any Transfiguration Technique, because he had no need to Shape Transform—he was already of the Human Race.

"I do know the Transfiguration Technique, but what are you planning to use to trade for it?" Christina blinked as she spoke. Li Chen clearly saw the corners of this woman’s mouth curl into a Demonic smile.

Oh, of course, she was a Demon to begin with.

In the end, Christina walked out of Ox Dragon’s huge building with a thoroughly satisfied smile, together with Li Chen.

Behind them, Ox Dragon’s face was full of heartache, yet his eyes couldn’t hide his joy.

Obviously, he also understood the use of the Transfiguration Technique. At his Grade, he naturally knew that a human form was more suited to Cultivation, and shrinking his body size would also be much more convenient in many situations.

In Ox Dragon’s view, if he had learned the Transfiguration Technique earlier, he might already have become a Ninth Order Expert by now; he wouldn’t still be afraid of that fellow from Black River.

The news about the Transfiguration Technique quickly spread through this village that was neither too big nor too small. When they heard that they could learn the Transfiguration Technique, many Demon Race were overjoyed. Especially after learning that the Transfiguration Technique came from Li Chen and Christina, many Demon Race treated the two of them as their most honored guests.

Obviously, they didn’t know that Ox Dragon had also paid a price.

Li Chen and Christina stayed in this little village for a few days, clearly witnessing one Demon Race after another mastering the Transfiguration Technique and successively taking on human forms.

After all, their Cultivation wasn’t weak. Learning Shape Transformation was actually fairly easy. It was just that some were long accustomed to their true bodies and weren’t used to walking on two legs; from time to time, they’d have funny moments like tripping flat on open ground.

These few days, Li Chen didn’t go anywhere far. Instead, he would occasionally walk to various parts of the village, sit down cross-legged, and quietly ponder.

As for the so-called Innate Divine Demonic Powers, Li Chen wasn’t in a hurry for them. Even though Christina had already gone out on her own several times, he didn’t follow, just quietly immersed himself in his own insights.

"A minor world like this couldn’t have just appeared for no reason. So, was this minor world naturally born, or was it a Creation of Innate Gods and Demons?"

"If it was Created, then being able to Create such a world—does that count as already touching the threshold of the creator?" Li Chen muttered in his heart.

Another day passed. A Demon Race villager squatting at the village entrance suddenly let out a Roar, and warning bells rang throughout the minor village.

Li Chen was startled awake. He walked into the village and reached out to grab a Demon Race villager who had just used the Transfiguration Technique, asking, "What’s going on?"

"Ah! It’s you, Young Master Li!" The villager saw Li Chen and came back to himself, quickly saying, "Young Master Li, be careful—the people from Black River are here!"
