This is my XML document. I want to convert this XML document into another XML document (see required output XML section).

This is my XSLT 2.0 Implementation for this :

<xsl:stylesheet

  <xsl:output indent="yes"/> 

  <xsl:function name="mf:group" as="element()*">
      <xsl:param name="paragraphs" as="element()*"/>
      <xsl:param name="level" as="xs:integer"/>

      <xsl:for-each-group select="$paragraphs" group-starting-with="p[pPr/pStyle/@w:val = concat('Heading', $level)]">   

        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="self::p[pPr/pStyle/@w:val = concat('Heading', $level)]">
                <xsl:element name="Heading{$level}">
                <Title>
                  <xsl:apply-templates select="./r/t"/>
                </Title>                

                <xsl:sequence select="mf:group(current-group() except ., $level + 1)"/>
          </xsl:element>
        </xsl:when>

        <xsl:when test="current-group()[self::p[pPr/pStyle/@w:val = concat('Heading', $level + 1)]]">

        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()">
           </xsl:apply-templates>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
  </xsl:function>

  <xsl:template match="document">

    <Document>
       <xsl:sequence select="mf:group(body/p, 1)"/>
    </Document>

  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="p">

      <xsl:choose>
           <xsl:when test="(./r/t)">
               <xsl:choose>
                 <xsl:when test="descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t] | descendant::w:p[//w:r/w:t[ancestor::w:pict]][2] ">         
                       <txtContentGroup>            

                                <Paragraph>              
                                    <xsl:apply-templates select="./r/t"/>            
                              </Paragraph>

                              <xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::w:p">
                              </xsl:apply-templates>  

                       </txtContentGroup>          
                </xsl:when>  

                <xsl:otherwise>         
                    <Paragraph>
                       <xsl:apply-templates select="./r/t"/>
                    </Paragraph>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>

      </xsl:when>
         <xsl:otherwise>
           <xsl:choose>
             <xsl:when test="descendant::w:p[not(ancestor::w:tbl)]">
               <xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::w:p">
               </xsl:apply-templates>
             </xsl:when>     
            </xsl:choose>
         </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/r/t">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet>

But it generates the following output :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Document xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:pic="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
    <Paragraph>Text1-</Paragraph>
    <Heading2>
       <Title>Text2-</Title>
       <Paragraph>Text3-</Paragraph>
       <Paragraph>Text4-</Paragraph>
       <Heading3>
         <Title>Text2.1-</Title>
      </Heading3>
    </Heading2>
    <Heading2>
       <Title>Text5-</Title>
       <Paragraph>Text6-</Paragraph>
       <Heading3>
         <Title>Text7-</Title>
         <Paragraph>Text8-</Paragraph>
       </Heading3>
    </Heading2>
    <Heading1>
       <Title>Text9-</Title>
       <Paragraph>Text10-</Paragraph>
       <Heading2>
          <Title>Text11-</Title>
          <Paragraph>Text12-</Paragraph>
          <Paragraph>Drawing Description_1</Paragraph>
          <Paragraph>Drawing Description_2</Paragraph>
       </Heading2>
   </Heading1>
   </Document>

My condition is :

Whenever <w:p> elements contains more than one descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t] in it and also that descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t] has the ancestor of <w:pict> then I want to create the <txtContentGroup> elements and put all the descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t] inside it.

    With this kind of input you should be using template rules, not deeply nested xsl:choose instructions. Your English statement

    Whenever <w:p> elements contains more than one descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t] in it and also it has the ancestor of <w:pict> then I want to create the <txtContentGroup> elements and put all the descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t] inside it.

    maps directly to the template rule:

    <xsl:template match="w:pict//w:p[descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t][2]]">
  <textContentGroup>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::w:p[w:r/w:t]"/>
  </textContentGroup>
</xsl:template>
