World Embryo: Preparations Before the Infiltration
Seclusion Chamber, the clone of Shanhai sat cross-legged, and as he circulated the "Infinite Measure Great Sun Sutra," his massive, giant-like body began to radiate golden light.
The massive amount of Yang-attribute Spiritual Qi that had settled in the Dantian was quickly mobilized and circulated rapidly within the clone body through the Dantian barrier formed by the Mountain-Sea Pearl.
When Yang Tianyou created his clone, he used a large number of precious treasures, including the Sun Soul Jade, the Primordial Power, and other Yang-attribute Spirit Items. As a result, in terms of physical strength alone, the clone is now far superior to the original body. However, it has not yet cultivated and has no Law Power.
However, because his Dantian had accumulated too much yang-attribute Spiritual Qi, and his physical strength was high enough, and his meridians were wide enough, once he started cultivating, the clone's cultivation level began to soar rapidly.
In less than an hour, he had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The barriers of the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation stages were subsequently broken through one by one with unstoppable force.
It is worth mentioning that, due to the refinement of Yang Tianyou's clone by the Mirror Spirit Space, although it shares the same origin as him, it is separated from the original body on the level of Karma, which is very different from the Second Primordial Spirit of other cultivators.
The advantage of this is that if someone uses Karmic Incantation Technique to ambush the clone, the main body will not be affected in any way.
Conversely, if the main body is harmed by Karmic Incantation Technique, it can transfer the harm to its clone through the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
Furthermore, this ability can also be used on Mirror Spirit Puppets, but only for damage at the Karma level.
If the ability directly attacks the Fleshly Body or soul, it cannot be transferred through this method.
Perhaps as Yang Tianyou's cultivation level improves and his control over the Jade Register Heavenly Book deepens, he will be able to achieve this, but it is too early to say for now.
In fact, as his cultivation level improved and he learned more about the Jade Register Heavenly Book, Yang Tianyou had already formed a vague conjecture: the various abilities of this treasure were very similar to the authority possessed by the Heavenly Dao.
The Dao Comprehension Space is equivalent to the manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth.
The Mirror Spirit Space, on the other hand, is the manipulation of souls and True Spirits.
Needless to say, the Creation Space, with its creation and destruction, life and death, is the embodiment of the supreme authority of the Heavenly Dao.
After the appearance of the Acquired Fortune Cauldron, everything became clearer. The Fruit Position is the convergence of the rules of heaven and earth. Theoretically speaking, only the Heavenly Dao can condense the Fruit Position, and the Jade Register Heavenly Book can also do this, which inevitably made Yang Tianyou have many speculations.
Finally, there are the many worlds within the Dao Comprehension Space. At first, Yang Tianyou thought these worlds were all illusions, but later he discovered that while these worlds were indeed illusions, they were not fabricated out of thin air, but rather information or traces extracted from somewhere.
From birth to death, everything leaves its mark on the world; some marks are deep, some are shallow.
The deep marks, even imprinted by the rules of heaven and earth, form wondrous creations like the Immortal-Demon Illusion Realm, which have existed for hundreds of thousands of years and are remembered by later generations.
If it's shallow, it will gradually disappear over time, just like Withered Yellow wild grass in the wind, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
The existence that records these traces is naturally the Will of Heaven and Earth, that is, the Heavenly Dao.
In Yang Tianyou's view, the Jade Register Heavenly Book was like a high-level World Embryo, and he fortuitous opportunity to become the master of this World Embryo, thus being able to use various powers that only the Heavenly Dao could control.
Rules, soul, life and death, Destiny... these are the supreme rules of heaven and earth. Even among Immortals and Gods, only a handful can control these rules.
Anyone who masters any one of these skills can be called a master of Greater Divine Ability, but Yang Tianyou can master them all through the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
Although it is indirect and cannot be as flexible and adaptable as that of Greater Divine Ability being, it is still quite incredible.
That said, the clone is isolated from the original body on the Karma level. The advantage is that it can avoid implicating the original body when subjected to Karmic Incantation Technique, and it can also make the clone's identity more secretive. No matter how the Heavenly Mechanist calculates, they will not be able to Detection the existence of the original body, Yang Tianyou.
The downside is that the clone cannot share the cultivation level of the original body. Simply put, it is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao and needs to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation again to reconfirm its identity.
Compared to the advantages, this disadvantage is negligible.
In just one month, the clone Shanhai successfully passed three Heavenly Tribulations and achieved the Spirit Transformation Realm. The powerful foundation that Yang Tianyou had built for him was finally exhausted.
From then on, the clone had to cultivate step by step, and could no longer make rapid progress as it had in the past month.
However, due to Yang Tianyou's heavy investment, the clone's aptitude is exceptional, comparable to that of Yang Spirit Root. In terms of comprehension, with the Dao Comprehension Space on the first page of the Jade Register Heavenly Book, there is even less to worry about.
For a month, the clone was busy cultivating, while Yang Tianyou took care of his own affairs.
The numerous treasures obtained from the White Tiger Lineage's treasury all need to be properly stored away.
First and foremost was the Sixth Tier Spirit Tree he had been longing for, the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree. This treasure was Sixth-Tier Low-Grade Spirit Tree that took three hundred years to flower, three hundred years to bear fruit, and three hundred years to mature. Each time it could produce nine Golden Jade Fruits. Cultivators who practiced Metal Attribute Cultivation Method could consume it to enhance their Law Power, temper their physique, and strengthen their understanding of the Metal Element Dao.
In addition, the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree can also produce "Black Crystals," which have a wide range of uses, including Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and array formation. Their value depends on Black Crystal age; the best Black Crystals are ten-thousand-year-old, which are Sixth Tier Spirit Materials and are of immeasurable value.
Finally, the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation set up with the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree as Formation core can also enhance its defensive power to a certain extent.
It can produce many treasures and enhance the power of the Clan-Guarding Array, so it should be planted as soon as possible.
As for the location of the plant, after discussing it with his Old Ancestors, Yang Tianyou decided to place it on the Purple Moon Mountain.
He originally wanted to plant the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree in the Spirit Medicine Garden, where the Sun-Moon Spring could accelerate the Spirit Tree's growth, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Although the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree is precious, its potential is limited. Unless Yang Tianyou is willing to pay a high price to cleanse its foundation with his Primordial Power, the limit of this Spirit Tree is only the Sixth Tier, Mid Grade.
In comparison, the potential of the Life-Origin Fruit Tree is far greater, and the longevity spirit medicine is already extremely valuable, not to mention the Longevity Spirit Tree itself.
Moreover, this is a Tree Demon that can cultivate and advance on its own. Not only can it produce precious Life-Origin Fruits, but in critical moments, the Life-Origin Fruit Tree can also participate in battles to protect its Lineage.
Although the latter's rank is indeed lower now, with Yang Yuqi's help, the irrigation from the Sun-Moon Spring and the Spirit Pool, and the occasional enrichment of its foundation by Spirit Vein Essence, the Life-Origin Fruit Tree is growing at an extremely fast speed.
He broke through to the Fourth-Tier High-Grade a year ago, and estimates that he can advance to the Fifth Tier in at most fifty or sixty years.
By then, the Origin Life-Origin Fruits produced by the Life-Origin Fruit Tree will have some effect even on Sage Manifestation powerhouse.
However, planting the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree in the Spirit Medicine Garden will inevitably slow down the growth rate of the Life-Origin Fruit Tree.
More importantly, the Yang Household is not lacking in the resources produced by the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree. What Yang Tianyou values is its enhancement of the Clan-Guarding Array.
To achieve this, firstly, there must be ample Spiritual Qi energy; secondly, it must be planted near a key node of the Clan-Guarding Array; and finally, it must be guarded by an absolutely reliable and powerful clansman.
After much deliberation, the only places in the Yang Household that met all three conditions were Great White Residence and the Purple Moon Mountain.
However, it is important to understand that if the enemy attacks, Yang Tianyou and Yunhua, as the strongest fighters, will inevitably be unable to stay at Great White Residence.
Furthermore, the Ten-Thousand-Mile Mountains and Rivers Formation is an Earth Attribute Formation, and it is most suitable for Old Ancestor who is also of the earth element to guard it, so that the Formation's power can be fully utilized.
Therefore, in the end, Yang Tianyou planted the incomparably precious Sixth Tier Spirit Tree, the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree, on the Purple Moon Mountain, where it was cared for by the Old Ancestor.
Actually, there's not much to say about taking care of it. The Sixth Tier Spirit Tree has incredibly strong vitality; it only needs sufficient nutrients.
Besides the Golden Jade Black Crystal Tree, the remaining treasures in the White Tiger Lineage's treasury were also properly arranged.
Some resources were distributed to suitable clansmen. For example, the Sixth-Tier Low-Grade flying Law Treasure, the White Tiger Space-Piercing Wings, was taken by Yang Tianyou for his own use.
He planned to give it to his clone. With this Law Treasure, even if he was being chased by Sage Manifestation powerhouse, there would be a good chance of escaping.
My clone is about to infiltrate the Nine Phoenix Realm to cause trouble; I can't afford to be without enough trump cards to protect myself.
The remaining resources were put into the Lineage treasury by Yang Tianyou, who also created an exchange List. Clan members who needed them could exchange them using Lineage Contribution Points.
As before, departments such as the Pill Hall and the Artifact Hall apply to the Lineage for various resources when they need them. Once approved, they can go to the Clan Treasury to collect them.
