Chapter 885: Mastering The World

“Aren’t you worried that he might escape?”

Feng Qingyou opened her eyes and tossed him a question after Tao Chong was out of earshot.

“He wouldn’t dare, and he wouldn’t,” Ye Qing replied with a chuckle.

Tao Chong wouldn’t dare because his life was still in Ye Qing’s hands. This was especially true after all the fright he suffered earlier. Tao Chong would have to be absolutely crazy to try and escape while the trauma was still fresh in his mind.

And even if Tao Chong wasn’t afraid, he still wouldn’t run away because Ye Qing could tell that this was a man with an extreme will to live—or to put it in a less courteous way, a coward. He would never put his life at risk unless he was absolutely certain that it was safe.

Feng Qingyou smiled. She was clearly of the same opinion. “I’m done. I’m fairly sure that the Livestock Creation Spell Tao Chong taught us is safe.”

“Good enough for me.” He wasn’t afraid that Tao Chong had taught them a fake Livestock Creation Spell for the same reason he was certain that the man wouldn’t try and escape. He was mainly afraid of Tao Chong tampering with the Livestock Creation Spell in ways that he couldn’t detect.

“Let’s see how miraculous this Livestock Creation Spell really is.”

Ye Qing sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and began studying the Livestock Creation Spell.

Time passed quickly. When light pierced through the veil of darkness, and a sun began rising from the east, Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou opened their eyes at the same time. Both of their eyes were shining as if there was a star residing within, dazzling and brilliant.

The next moment, Ye Qing lifted a hand and pointed at a distant goat. An invisible, indescribably profound power surged, and the goat suddenly writhed on the spot. Its fur fell off, and its limbs turned into arms and legs. In just the blink of an eye, the goat had transformed into a tall, muscular man.

The man couldn’t process what was happening at first. Then, he blurted out in pleasant surprise, “I... I turned back to normal?!”

Unfortunately, he couldn’t react before Ye Qing pointed at him again. He could only watch in shock and horror as his arms and legs morphed into short stumps, his ears grew much bigger and longer, and his nose turned into a snout. He had transformed... into a pig.

At first, the rest of the goats were jealous of the victim thinking that he had been released from his misery. When they saw him turning into a pig though, they could only stare with wide-eyed shock and disbelief.

Unfortunately for the man, this was just the beginning. Ye Qing pointed at him again, and he slowly swelled into a yellow bull.

The next moment, the yellow bull turned into a white horse. Then, its white fur grayed, and it shrank into a dog with grayish white fur.

The gray dog had just barked twice when its started shrinking even more. Its fur turned into feathers, its forelimbs turned into wings, and its hind limbs turned into bird legs. It had turned... into a chicken.

At this point, the rest of the goats could only offer the victim their utmost sympathy and moral support. As for Ye Qing, he was having the time of his life transforming the big man into all kinds of animals over, and over, and over again.

At first, the big man panicked and struggled with all his might to escape. In the end though, he succumbed to despair and just lay there on the ground, unmoving.

Ye Qing had noticed Tao Chong’s arrival as a matter of course, but he paid him no heed. Right now, he was fully absorbed in the wonderful and profound spell that was the Livestock Creation Spell.

The Livestock Creation Spell involved Nature and possessed the might of the world itself. It could transform anyone into the six livestocks regardless of body size, and it allowed for transformation between different livestocks as well. Not only that, the transformation was so perfect that an ordinary warrior would be hardpressed to differentiate it from the real thing.

That wasn’t all. After a victim had transformed into a livestock, their diet, habit and more would transform as well. For example, a bull or a horse preferred to eat grass, whereas a chicken or a dog was more active at night.

Despite the drastic change in their diet and behavior, the person still maintained their sentience and memory as a human. It truly was quite something.

This still wasn’t everything, however. In Ye Qing’s opinion, the Livestock Creation Spell was an extremely potent killing Magia.

At the journeyman level, only humans whose cultivation and strength was below the practitioner’s could be transformed into any one of the six livestocks. Moreover, the spell could be countered by many secret arts and Magias. At this level, it definitely had limited potential and usability.

But at the adept level, its potency was nothing like what it used to be. The practitioner would be able to transform a human into a livestock with a single thought, giving the victim no chance or time to react or defend against. Even those stronger in terms of cultivation could be caught off guard and transformed into livestock. If this actually happened, the victim would not be able to adapt to their new body immediately, and they would have to fight at less than their full strength. In a life-or-death battle, the spell was practically a death sentence.

It was worth noting again that the Livestock Creation Spell was a Magia involving Nature and the world. As a result, its practitioner would naturally gain much insight and comprehension just by practicing it to the adept level.

The Livestock Creation Spell was no ordinary spell, so despite what Tao Chong thought, Ye Qing had not, in fact, reached the journeyman level in less than five hours. Of course, the fact that he managed to grasp the spell at all was a testament to his talent, but he also cheated using Nanke.

Inside the Nanke dream, he had practiced the spell for over a year. This was why he was able to push it into the journeyman level.

If he wished to progress further though, it was going to take him a lot more time and effort.

“Have you sent them back safely?” Ye Qing looked at Tao Chong and asked.

“Yes. This junior escorted them to a nearby town and gave them some travel expenses. I am sure they’ll be able to make it home safely,” Tao Chong responded with a salute.

“Well done.” Ye Qing nodded. “Oh right, you don’t need to address me as senior from now on. Just call me young master, and her miss.”

“As you command, young master.”

Tao Chong was a smart one. He even changed his own title to ‘this slave’. “Oh right, this slave almost forgot. Congratulations on grasping the Livestock Creation Spell, young master, miss.”

“It’s just the journeyman level. Anyone can do that given enough time.” Ye Qing waved him off unconcernedly. “I’m going to try and push it to the adept level before we enter the Six Livestocks Market.”

Tao Chong: “...”

Speaking of monsters...
