Qing Yuzi, at a Loss for Tears!
The Wanhe Demon Kingdom, the Kalin World Star.
Kalin World Star is located in the heart of the Demon Race's territory, yet it maintains the Human Race way of life, with ninety percent of its inhabitants being pure Human Race.
In the center of the Realm Star, a great tree stands, with palaces hanging from its trunk. The leaves are covered with a layer of soil and planted with rows of plants. Many of the arrangements are no different from those in the Primordial Beginning Realm.
On a city tower that closely resembled Supreme Void City, a young man in white robes stood sideways under the waning moon, holding a wine jar in one hand, gazing at the sky with sorrowful eyes.
Pu Yan, Zuo Qiyu, a former member of the Coral Ninth Order, and also a Agricultural Official of the Extreme Dao Mother Tree Flow School.
Jin Yan once made great contributions to the empire and was once the most prominent, but now he has disappeared from the empire's history and has become a guest minister of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom.
"Teacher, you can give way to Zhao Xing, so why couldn't you give way to me back then?" Jin Yan muttered to himself.
"It was you who made me cultivate the Great Beginning Clone, it was you who made me experience the pain of the previous splits, and it was also because of you..."
I can only eke out a living in the Demon Clan Territory, hiding in the shadows—? Why now—?
"Because you are too weak! Just like him!" Just then, a long sword pierced through Jin Yan on the city wall.
A red figure appeared behind him, his eyes sweeping across the sky like a newly forged broken blade, even the sound of the wind freezing into ice shards falling to the ground. He looked exactly like Jin Yan, but his temperament was completely different.
"Pfft!" Red-armored Jin Yan killed White-robed Jin Yan, then absorbed him, and his aura seemed to become even stronger.
Thump. Looking at the mangled body lying on the ground, Jin Yan coldly crushed it. "Zuo Qiyu, Zhao Xing, you both must die!"
Looking back, countless "Pu Yan" had already fallen in pools of blood within the city.
Only a few bodies remained, barely clinging to life, crawling on the ground.
With a flick of his finger, Hong Kai Jin Yan killed the remaining clones. With each clone that died, Hong Kai Jin Yan's aura grew stronger.
After suppressing his murderous intent, Zhao Xing began to quickly review what he had learned.
After mastering the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique, he possessed four abilities.
Firstly, there is the [Control of the Dao]. The original Grand Void Straw Man Art was designed to exclude any grass man within a certain range, rendering other people's Straw Man Art ineffective. Therefore, when Zhao Xing mastered it, many people's grass man techniques in the Primordial Beginning Realm collapsed.
The Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique builds upon this foundation by adding control capabilities.
Within a certain range, Zhao Xing can control any human body made of straw.
Moreover, he can control it remotely without soul invasion. This is a natural ability that arises after the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique is mastered, and can be called "Great Dao Divine Power".
The second is the [Great Beginning Law Body]. The model of the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique is the Xu Zu. Although the Xu Zu was Qi Sect Martial Practitioner, the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique belongs to the body of magic.
The Great Beginning Law Body naturally give rise to the [Great Beginning Mana], which possesses a strong ability to Void Traversal, because the Xu Zu himself was born from the void!
Therefore, the Great Beginning Law Body can easily cultivate spatial magic, and its power is also much greater.
Assuming the Primordial Beginning Straw Man is crafted from specific materials from the Xu Zu series, it will also possess the defensive capabilities of Golden Body.
However, Zhao Xing doesn't have any "Xu Zu materials" with him right now, so using ordinary materials will greatly reduce the power.
Thirdly, there is [No Distance Teleportation].
The Dharma body and the principal deity can transmit to each other.
The main Soul Body and the Great Beginning soul can be exchanged or Soul Body.
When Zhao Xing Grand Void Straw Man Art, his original body and his divided soul need to be close to each other and for his soul to leave his body.
However, with the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique, the original body can reclaim the divided soul with a single thought!
It can sense things from any distance, and the teleportation of souls is instantaneous, both between the main body and the clone.
It slows down slightly, but the key point is that the distance is extremely exaggerated.
"If there were no obstructions, I could almost instantly cross a star system. Assuming I have clones in all thirty-six top star systems of the Empire as teleportation points, it wouldn't be difficult for me to travel across the vast territory of the Empire in a single day."
"The soul has no geographical limitations! It can be retrieved with a single thought!"
"No wonder Zuo Qiyu is always so elusive, he's everywhere," Zhao Xing couldn't help but remark.
Of course, the only drawback of No Distance Teleportation is that it cannot carry people.
Moreover, the emergence of the fourth ability also means that Zhao Xing will encounter setbacks in retrieving souls.
This involves the fourth ability—[Soul Tear].
It is a passive ability.
Upon first mastering the Great Beginning Clone Technique, a tearing will occur, splitting the soul into two independent entities that do not affect each other.
The more times you tear apart an enemy, the more clones you can control, and the greater your combat power will be.
Because they are independent of each other, when the split soul also becomes stronger, it will generate all sorts of thoughts, with countless voices in one mind.
With more voices, opinions may not necessarily be unified.
The attempt to retrieve a divided soul with a single thought will be met with resistance!
Therefore, to avoid this situation, the Great Beginning Clone and the original body cannot be too far apart or for too long, so as not to become too "unfamiliar" with each other.
Because they are independent of each other, the deadly poison True Spirit Heavenly Poison is not a problem at all for the Great Beginning Clone. It can simply abandon the poisoned part and sever its tail to escape!
However, in Zhao Xing's understanding, Soul Tear should be a drawback, not a capability.
If the goal is simply to increase the survival rate, the Great Beginning Clone spell is not much more advanced than the Grand Void Clone spell.
Because the Great Beginning Clone is not absolutely Cannot Be Killed. If it exceeds a critical threshold, such as a causal divine object, it can still achieve the goal of killing one and annihilating all.
From this perspective, the Great Sundering was unnecessary.
"Hmm. The Great Sundering increases the number of clones, enhances combat power, and improves survivability, but the ultimate purpose is to help one overcome the True Spirit Tribulation?" As he continued to analyze, Zhao Xing was shocked.
"After reaching the Reincarnation Realm, you will inevitably encounter the True Spirit Tribulation sooner or later. If you are not confident in overcoming it, you can use the Great Beginning Law Body plus a portion of your True Spirit to withstand the tribulation."
"At the cost of losing a physical body and part of the true spirit, the True Spirit Tribulation was avoided."
"Assuming they can overcome this tribulation, due to the independence of the Great Beginning Clone, their true spirit will grow stronger after successfully transcending the tribulation."
"If we use the No Distance Teleportation now, and retrieve the true spirit with a single thought, the true spirit will be a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than others!"
"So this is the ultimate goal?"
Zhao Xing considered this: Suppose that during his first tribulation in the Reincarnation Realm, he split into a thousand Great Beginning Clone, and each Great Beginning Clone would suffer True Spirit Tribulation. Then, after the avatars survived the True Spirit Tribulation, their True Spirits would grow even stronger.
Assuming that all Reincarnation Realm receive the same reward after passing the True Spirit Tribulation: 1.
Recycling it yourself is equivalent to possessing 1000 times the true spirit!
If it's ten thousand, or a million?
"Hiss!" Zhao Xing was immediately shocked. "Tribulation successful, True Spirit recovered."
"Failed to transcend the tribulation? It has nothing to do with the main body or the other clones. Only one of them will die."
"That's incredible!"
However, after careful consideration, Zhao Xing felt that there should be a limit to this kind of division.
Otherwise, Zuo Qiyu and Pu Yan wouldn't have thought of killing each other.
Everyone should just train their clones to become stronger; why bother with all the fighting and killing?
"The Control of the Dao, No Distance Teleportation, the Great Beginning Law Body, and Soul Tear —each of these four abilities is incredibly powerful," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "However, there are also many hidden dangers. Too much Soul Tear will inevitably lead to mental disorder. It must be controlled with extremely powerful Soul Secret Technique, otherwise, it is very likely to go insane."
"The Great Beginning Law Body is expensive. Without the materials from the Xu Zu series, it is only slightly stronger than the Grand Void Clone and cannot reach the level of defying the heavens."
"The Control of the Dao is ineffective against Zuo Qiyu and Jin Yan. When everyone is brought back to the same level, they all use the same method and cannot break through each other's moves."
"The No Distance Teleportation has no hidden dangers, but it won't be as effective if there are too few clones."
"Gu Tianyang has truly created an extremely powerful, yet extremely deadly, technique," Zhao Xing concluded.
Having become familiar with the area, he looked towards the distant, towering mountains.
"Since this method was created using the Xu Zu as a template, the information on the Xu Zu's transformed divine bone is very important."
"Zuo Qiyu made a firm decision to pass on this technique to me, probably because he wanted to solve its drawbacks."
No one wants to practice such a method, especially since this method has led to a rift between master and disciple!
Zuo Qiyu's willingness to make concessions on the main road suggests that he secretly hopes to find a solution.
"No Distance Teleportation." A black glint flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes, and the mountain disappeared before his eyes, as did the gray mist in the sky.
He saw the Grand Void Clone being suppressed at the foot of the mountain.
The Grand Void Clone also has the capability for No Distance Teleportation, but the distance is not as far as that of the Great Beginning Clone.
"Whoosh~"
The next moment, the original body on the Flower Chair disappeared and appeared inside the suppressed Grand Void Clone.
The soul and body were transported together and arrived inside the Voidgrass Doppelganger!
Swish~
Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor Lord appeared at the same time. Looking at the empty Flower Chair, Zuo Qiyu said without saying a word, "What are you looking at? There's only a chair left. You can't be red with envy, can you?" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord cautiously put the Flower Chair away.
Zhao Xing was able to suppress his murderous intent because he had just completed his cultivation and had not yet experienced multiple splits, while Zuo Qiyu had many clones, and that desire was born along with the tearing apart.
As many clones as there are, there are as many voices influencing his actions!
"Hmph." Zuo Qiyu withdrew his gaze.
"Zuo Qiyu, tell me honestly, did you deliberately teach Zhao Xing's Great Beginning Clone, treating him like a pig?" the Five Poisons Emperor Lord asked. "Although his avatar was modified to resemble him, you possess ' Control of the Dao,' so you can easily establish a connection first, and then teleport in via the No Distance Teleportation."
"Foolish!" Zuo Qiyu laughed. "You said you knew something, but it turns out you were just putting on an act."
The Five Poisons Emperor Lord realized that the other party was referring to the conversation inside the palace of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom, but this time he did not get angry. Instead, he asked, "Then tell me, what is it that I don't understand?"
"If I can get in, why would I create another enemy for myself?" Zuo Qiyu said calmly. "I've already tried it; the Control of the Dao here is useless against Zhao Xing's Grand Void Clone."
"You mean to make your Control of the Dao fail?" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.
"Either it's the isolation caused by the Transcendent Divine Bone, or it's a problem with the World Transfer Tower, or there's a powerful expert in this time and space," Zuo Qiyu said. "No matter which it is, it's a divine-level power, and only he can enter."
The Five Poisons Emperor Lord was also aware of the [Karma War], and he said with some worry, "A mere Zhao Xing..."
How did the Karma War within me escalate to this level? Sigh.
Now, Five Poisons could only sigh. When it came to this level, he could only hope that Zhao Xing would be safe and sound.
Zhao Xing's true form appeared inside the Voidgrass Doppelganger. At this time, he had not yet experienced Great Sundering. He only felt a slight separation between his clone and his true form. This was because his soul had not yet undergone a qualitative change and reached the level of a true spirit. The first Great Sundering had not yet been completely completed; it was merely a prelude.
But he couldn't care less about that at the moment; he just wanted to get inside as quickly as possible and find out what was going on.
"My upper body was pressed outside the circle, and my lower body was placed inside the circle."
"The clone needs to maintain this state, so I won't recall the divided soul for now. The main body will fly towards the feet to see if it can pass through."
After running through the inner space of the Voidgrass Doppelganger for a while, Zhao Xing could see Dao Ming outer layer with a faint red glow and a white inner layer.
As he approached, he felt an invisible resistance.
"Not allowed in?" Zhao Xing tried and found that he couldn't get in, just like the last time he was blocked at the entrance of World Transfer Tower.
However, just as Zhao Xing was thinking of a solution, the light shield underwent two changes.
The first change was that the red light weakened, slowly receding outwards like a tide.
The second change occurred when a bright white light shone forth, and a ripple-like wave rose upwards.
"The first time, the red light retreated gently and proactively; the second time, it was as if the white light launched an attack, repelling the red light." Zhao Xing keenly noticed this change and a conjecture arose in his mind.
Could it be that Lao Qing and Bowei are helping me? Lao Qing is just returning a favor, but what is Bowei after?
"Let Nature Take Its Course, Let Nature Take Its Course —anyway, a trip back to my hometown will remove the star." Zhao Xing shook his head.
I stopped thinking about it.
"Metaphor"
The main body successfully passed through the white light barrier and arrived inside the Divine Pattern Region.
The view before me changed from dark to bright, as if I were walking out of a cave.
Indeed, Zhao Xing entered the interior through his Grand Void Clone, the big toe.
"They've entered. Where are the divine runes of the Transformed Divine Bone?"
Looking down, I found it was all white, and I couldn't see anything at all.
It was no different from when he was outside. Except for the white light emanating from the ground, Zhao Xing felt nothing. "Could the white light be divine power?" Zhao Xing pondered, thinking it was very possible.
Because of the Divine Level Technique Heart Sealing Art left behind by the Physician God Fan Qianrou, he also experienced a burst of white light when he was comprehending it.
However, it later extracted seven colors, and eventually mastered the Azure Flower Mana by taking the Life Great Dao as its starting point.
"My original Soul Body still contains half of the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, making it extremely difficult to comprehend." Zhao Xing looked at the ground.
A thought struck me.
"Perhaps the opportunity Lao Qing was talking about lies here—out-of-body experience!!!"
Enveloped in the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, even the soul finds it incredibly difficult to leave the body.
The feeling was like the soul carrying an infinitely heavy mountain, inching forward step by step, without being able to sway even slightly, because at this moment, half of the True Spirit Heavenly Poison had been eliminated, and half of the protective measures that Bowei had set up around the soul had also been eliminated.
If one is not careful, the True Spirit Heavenly Poison could completely erupt.
"L~"
A wisp of black gas began to emanate from Zhao Xing's seven orifices.
It took three whole years, and finally, when his magical power was almost exhausted, he completed the "soul leaving the body" procedure.
"Buzz~"
The moment the soul appeared carrying the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, Zhao Xing felt a sense of relief wash over him.
Suddenly, everything became bright.
It felt like finally being relieved of a heavy burden, a truly liberating feeling.
"Wow, that feels great!"
It felt so good that Zhao Xing couldn't help but dance around and shout excitedly.
Because the True Spirit Heavenly Poison was dissolved by the white light in an instant!
It was like a block of ice being thrown onto the Sun Star, melting instantly!
"Xu Zu is amazing!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.
Even with his Azure Flower Mana, he still couldn't neutralize the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, but the divine power from the Xu Zu Molting Bone instantly annihilated the True Spirit Heavenly Poison!
A bone that has undergone metamorphosis, after countless years, still possesses divine power that can instantly kill Demigod- level True Spirit Too Poison!
"I can see some clues."
Zhao Xing's soul returned to his body, and without the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, he could see much more clearly.
"Just now, the white light dissolved the True Spirit Heavenly Poison. This wisp of white light rose from beneath my feet and returned to a hundred meters above my head."
"Soul Heaven Vision!"
A pair of eyes appeared above Zhao Xing's head, possessing multiple perspectives, and surveyed the white land back and forth.
He sat cross-legged, while his true form was also practicing the "Heart Sealing Art".
Since Fan Qianrou is also Divine Realm, even if she is not as powerful as the Xu Zu, she is still a god.
The great path may lead to the same destination, and perhaps by comparing our experience of cultivating the Azure Flower Mana, we can comprehend the transformation of the divine bones.
"He went inside."
Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor Lord looked out from the mountain peak and could clearly see a small black dot on the white ground.
"Stop looking, I'll guard this place." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord nudged Zuo Qiyu. "Your eyes are red again—"
"Huh? I didn't sense any killing intent from you this time. Are you really just jealous?"
Zuo Qiyu: "..."
Can't you just shut up?
Seeing that Zuo Qiyu was about to lose his temper, the Five Poisons Emperor Lord quickly changed the subject, "The Emperor Tianwu has been asking for help for a while now, you should go and mediate."
"We can't just remain indifferent; that would be hard to explain."
Zuo Qiyu nodded. Emperor Tianwu was tough, but when facing five Demon Race Emperor Lord Realm, he could only take the beating and had no strength to fight back.
However, if Emperor Tianwu does not end the battle, the five Demon Race Emperor Lord Realm will not be able to successfully comprehend the Transformation Divine Bone.
With a Qi Sect Martial Practitioner yelling and shouting nearby, who could possibly concentrate on comprehending the teachings?
"Whoosh~"
Zuo Qiyu quickly flew towards the battle area.
After spending only three months in the Divine Pattern Region, Zhao Xing made some gains, and his true form also mastered the Azure Flower Mana.
A wisp of blue-and- Azure Flower Mana enveloped his eyes. With the blessing of this Azure Flower Mana, Zhao Xing's perspective on the white earth was completely different.
The white light lines slowed down, and Zhao Xing memorized all the patterns, quickly forming a peculiar design.
Upon closer inspection, Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised, as it resembled a stomach.
The stomach is three-dimensional, with many white rays of light circulating like meridians.
"Assuming what I saw was only a part of the Metamorphosis Bone, could it represent the Gluttony Art in the cultivation of the Golden Body of a martial artist?"
The cultivation of a martial artist's Golden Body involves the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs. Each part has its own independent cultivation method, but they are all interconnected as a whole.
Zhao Xing has been to the stomachs of many Qi Sect Martial Practitioner, such as You Yitian and Chen Xuan.
The scene inside their stomachs is completely different; some people's stomachs are filled with flames, like a world of fire.
Some people's stomachs are like an icy hell.
Not to mention martial arts practitioners, he himself had practiced Food Supplement Art, which is why he was very familiar with this part of his body.
"The position of the Heavenly Kitchen occupies a very important part in the cultivation of martial artists. The philosophy of the Qi Sect is to be able to absorb and digest spiritual substances.
"Complete digestion here, and use this as a base to circulate the Yin-Yang Five Elements Qi throughout the body, strengthen the bones and flesh, which is the most important part of the internal cultivation method."
The 3D image before him resembled a star map. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xing summoned a straw figure from his Source Origin Space and began the simulation.
He dared not try it on his own body, but there was a kind of mimicry clone in the Straw Man Art, whose internal structure completely replicated the physique of Human Race or Demon Race, and it was specially used to try out new techniques.
If the main body practices this, there's a risk of Going Berserk; if a clone practices it, it won't matter if it explodes.
Buzz~
The mimicry straw man's first attempt at cultivation ended in disaster.
"Boom!"
It was fried so crisply that it vanished into nothingness.
Zhao Xing frowned.
He wasn't frowning because of the exploding clones, but because he realized he had forgotten the cultivation process he had just undergone.
"If I can't remember it, it's useless even if I master it here." Zhao Xing looked at the gradually disintegrating 3D diagram. At first, his clone could still remember half of it, but now he had forgotten it all.
"The methods of the Xu Zu are too advanced. Even if it is just a fragment, it would be very difficult for me to memorize and retain the essence of the Dao."
The fact that one forgets everything immediately after practicing clearly indicates that the Daoist principles attached to the divine bones cannot be memorized.
This made it difficult for Zhao Xing to either cultivate it himself or make copies to hand over to the authorities.
"Boom!"
"Metaphor~"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
After trying tens of thousands of times, Zhao Xing discovered that this was not a coincidence; every time, the device would explode as soon as he started cultivating.
"Many precious secret techniques require highly specific materials to support them. For example, Fan Qianrou's Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet, the innate Innate Divine Power preserved by the original Three Thousand Dao Seeds, the Primordial Beginning Dao Repository, and the Myriad Dao Tree— "
The powerful laws of the gate must be preserved, but they must have a carrier.
"Could we try using plant life as a carrier?" Zhao Xing looked inward at his own Source Origin Space.
"Seven Realms True Spirit Bamboo - This was given to me by Five Poisons Wudu. It has now entered its growth stage and is comparable to the combat power of the Reincarnation Realm. But I'm afraid that's not enough. It's not the Myriad Dao Tree, so it's not a good vessel."
"Black Heaven Moon Tree, grade unknown, it's best not to try, it definitely won't work."
"Spirit-Devouring Grass, Legendary Grade, the quality is good enough, but it's only in the seedling stage, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"The Thousand Illusion Tree? Forget about it, it's only at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm now."
"The soul is certainly a good vessel. If my true self were to attempt cultivation, it might be possible to retain the memories."
Just like Fan Qianrou's magic, the soul power possessed by the test straw doll was ultimately too little.
"Perhaps if my true form were to cultivate, it wouldn't explode."
"But it's dangerous, and even if I learn it, I can't teach it to others."
"Unless a suitable vessel is found, such as the Heart Sealing Art for the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet."
Having come all this way, Zhao Xing was unwilling to give up without a try, but the danger was too unpredictable.
Zhao Xing was immediately caught in a dilemma.
Suddenly, something in the Source Origin Space caught his attention, which made Zhao Xing's eyes light up.
"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that!"
Swish~
With a flick of his hand, Zhao Xing conjured a wooden sculpture in front of him from his Source Origin Space.
Far away in the royal palace of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom, the Qing Yuzi in the elm tree felt something and looked towards the direction of the divine bones.
When Zhao Xing saw Qing Yuzi Xing take out a wooden carving, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"What?! You bastard—don't use my idol as a vessel!!"
What level is Xu Zu? What level is he?
Letting Zhao Xing in was already enough to deplete his divine power; he only allowed Zhao Xing to go in and try because Zhao Xing was special.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing was afraid of death and dared not practice on his own. He planned to use his idol as a vessel to give himself an extra layer of insurance.
"Don't—"
Qing Yuzi wanted to scold Zhao Xing, but it was too late!
He heard a faint chanting in his ear. "By the Qing Yu Divine Lord, your disciple Zhao Xing intends to borrow your statue. If I can bring back the Xu Zu's Divine Art, it will be a blessing for cultivators, and your Boundless— "
Immediately afterwards, Qing Yuzi's eyes turned red.
The red light, which symbolized the operating principles of the World Transfer Tower, had been pushed over his head, but now it suddenly pressed down.
"Boom!"
His head was instantly split in two, the splitting continuing all the way down to his neck.
Qing Yuzi's body split open!
My heart is breaking.
"My past life's Dharma body has been destroyed just like that; I can no longer enter this dimension." Qing Yuzi was on the verge of tears. "Alas, what sins have I committed—"
