Chapter 362: Hundred Transformation Mask

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Mystic Heaven City was located in the southeast of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, and if it was according to the pace of a marching army, it would take at least a month to hurry over from the Great Xia Kingdom’s borders to the Mystic Heaven City. Jiang Yi and He Lao made haste for days and nights without rest. The Zouwu Beast’s speed might not be fast, but it was at least two to three folds faster than a marching army. Furthermore, the Zouwu Beast was traveling underground in a straight line. If there weren’t any mishaps, the two of them would probably make it to the outskirts of the Mystic Heaven City in around eight to nine days.

Jiang Yi controlled the Zouwu Beast to travel at a depth of 30 kilometers, and it was naturally safe in such deep underground. There weren’t any demonic beasts; neither would they be spotted by other humans. Hence, it was very safe for them to travel in this way. He Lao closed his eyes to recuperate while Jiang Yi cultivated along the way.

Half the green energy surrounding the soul spirit had been absorbed, and the soul spirit was still growing stronger. Jiang Yi didn’t cultivate the soul spirit and didn’t know any soul spirit abilities; thus, he didn’t feel anything special about strengthening his soul spirit and didn’t mind about it. After cultivating for two to three days, he noticed that the cultivation speed was too slow; and so he couldn’t be bothered to cultivate anymore. It was very stuffy in the underground, and it was pitch black everywhere. Jiang Yi grew feeling rather bored.

“Oh, that’s right!”

He recalled that he brought out some artifacts from the Universal Palace’s treasure vault, and there were a few special heaven artifacts. This was the perfect time for him to study it and see if there were any special abilities.

Buzz!

He first took out that abnormally magnificent saint artifact longbow, and after revolving his essence force to refine it, it was a pity that wasn’t any reaction. It was obvious that this saint artifact couldn’t be refined in a short period of time. Immediately after, he took out a longsword and played with it for a moment. He noticed that after getting used to the Fire Dragon Sword, this saint artifact wasn’t very handy.

Gulp, Gulp!

He Lao, who was at the back, was alarmed by the presence of the saint artifacts in his nearby vicinity. After seeing all the saint artifacts that Jiang Yi possessed, his eyes went blank. The Zhan Clan had been established proudly on the continent for ten thousand years and could only obtain a single saint artifact which only the Clan Head was qualified to wield. Jiang Yi was only 17 years old, and the artifacts he had already surpassed an accumulation of wealth from a great aristocratic clan that had been around for ten thousand years.

Of course, he didn’t dare to covet for it; and all the more he wouldn’t request it from Jiang Yi. For such an invaluable artifact, not even Zhan Wushuang who had such close ties with Jiang Yi could ask for it—let alone him.

Jiang Yi noticed He Lao’s peculiar behavior and let out a smile as he didn’t mind He Lao looking. He continued to take out that raincoat and kept it after fidgeting with it for a moment. This item might be a rare defense type artifact, but it was meant for a woman. If he was to wear it, it would definitely look inappropriate.

Buzz!

He then took out a mask. Back in Skyplume City, he had always worn a mask when he was a sparring partner. This was why he had some special feelings towards masks. When he saw a golden mask in the treasure vault, he immediately had a liking for it and simply brought it along.

Heaven artifact mask? What use does it have? The one who refined this would be able to defend their face? To prevent people from ruining their handsome face?

Jiang Yi had this ineffable feeling as he felt that if he wanted to protect his head, he would rather refine a helmet, right? What was the use of refining a mask?

I shall just refine it!

The curiosity in his heart impelled him to have an interest in the functionality of this mask. He made his essence force revolve around the mask and noticed there were some traces of light after a short moment. It was apparent that it wouldn’t be as difficult to refine this mask.

Continue!

Since there was no need to control the Zouwu Beast as it was a straight path, Jiang Yi simply concentrated on refining the mask and constantly poured his essence force in, which caused the light on the mask to intensify.

After refining for three days, the golden mask finally had a flash of light and had been completely refined. Jiang Yi realized he had a trace of spiritual connection to this mask, and there was this information which suddenly transferred from the mask into his mind.

Hundred Transformation Mask?

He blinked his eyes suspiciously and poured his essence force in as he slowly placed the mask on his face.

“Eh?”

He Lao’s injuries were fully recovered, and he curiously looked at Jiang Yi’s behavior. The moment Jiang Yi put on the mask, He Lao’s eyes immediately widened as though he saw a ghost.

When that mask was placed on Jiang Yi’s face... it suddenly vanished, and Jiang Yi’s face abruptly transformed. It had actually turned into the face of absolute beauty, and when Jiang Yi turned around to give a sweet smile, He Lao shivered and nearly fell off the Zouwu Beast.

Buzz!

There was a flash of light on Jiang Yi face, and the beauty’s face transformed again. This time, it was an imposing square face. He Lao didn’t feel any trace of awkwardness as though Jiang Yi originally looked like that.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi’s face transformed again which made He Lao utterly speechless. His face actually turned into Zhan Wushuang’s face, and it was exactly the same. If it wasn’t for the difference in his physical shape and that bronze skin, He Lao would think that Jiang Yi was Zhan Wushuang.

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi felt his face and thought that this was fun. This Hundred Transformation Mask was indeed interesting as it could actually change his appearance as he liked. It wasn’t as lifeless and stiff as a human skin mask—which was emotionless. Once this mask transformed, it would be a completely different face; and Jiang Yi didn’t feel awkward wearing it.

“Uh...”

He Lao suddenly recalled something as his eyes lit up with brilliance. He exclaimed, “Young Master Yi, with this mask and your instant shift ability, it would become the best combination for an escape method. Who can find you after you instant-shift into a crowd and transform your face?”

“That’s a great idea!”

Jiang Yi originally felt that it was fun, but after He Lao gave the idea, he was immediately excited. After pondering for a moment, his eyes turned dull as he shook his head and said, “Vajra Realm martial experts are able to scout with their divine senses, and my mask might not be able to escape their divine senses. If they could scout by seeing through this mask, then this mask would be useless. As for enemies below the Vajra Realm, which of them would dare to pursue me?”

“That’s true.”

He Lao realized it, too. He originally thought this mask would be useful, but it seemed like it was of little value.

“Keke! This mask isn’t totally useless, too.” After pondering for a moment, he let out a mischievous laugh and didn’t bother about the mask anymore. He continued to check out the rest of the artifacts.

It was a pity that the rest of the heaven artifacts were either of little use or too hard to refine. After fiddling around for a few days, they were almost arriving at the Mystic Heaven City. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to play around for another moment. He asked the Zouwu Beast to stop in the underground while he ascended stealthily and scouted the situation.

He used the mask to change his look, turning into a boorish brute who was wielding an ax. Once he reached the surface, he scouted the area and quickly confirmed the location they were at.

Back in the underground, Jiang Yi withdrew the Zouwu Beast and informed He Lao: “We cannot travel in the underground anymore. We are only several miles away from the Mystic Heaven City and would arrive in another half a day. Let us travel on the surface.”

“Alright!”

He Lao took out a human skin mask and consumed an elixir which immediately weakened his powerful aura presence. Even Jiang Yi felt as though He Lao was just a peak-stage Purple Mansion Realm expert at this moment. He couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Young Master Yi, this is an elixir made with Zhan Clan’s secret recipe. You should eat one, too. This way, we will be able to travel without attracting any attention.”

He Lao tossed over a black elixir to Jiang Yi and took out a map to glance before he said, “Right now, only nine days have passed. We still have three days to prepare. Let us go to the nearby Yinma Town ¹ first. The Zhan Clan has a strategic point there where we can scout out some information to make plans.”

“Let’s depart!”

Jiang Yi grinned, and his face transformed again. This time, it turned into a dashing youth as he let out an evil laugh and said, “If it is absolutely necessary, we will turn the whole place upside down.”
