The first clone had made breakthroughs in both physical strength and mental cultivation, which delighted Ling Tian. The only flaw was that the clone had not awakened the Buddha Image Phantom or opened the Void Breaking Buddha Eye.

Ling Tian was satisfied, but Poqiong wasn't. He muttered to himself, "When you awakened the Buddha Image Phantom, you were under the pressure of the ancient city. You were also constantly studying formations and restrictions back then. Your clone isn't doing that now. Maybe those things have something to do with it."
"Uh, you want my clone to study restrictions too?" Ling Tian was taken aback.
"Why not?" Poqiong retorted. "Your clone's mental cultivation is much higher than its spiritual energy right now. What's wrong with studying formations while cultivating? It shouldn't just study them, either—it should set them up. Maybe that will help it open the Void Breaking Buddha Eye."

"Oh, that's true. I'll tell my clone." Ling Tian nodded, then murmured to himself, "It'd be best if it awakens one, but even if it doesn't, studying formations
