At the edge of the Netherworld Blood Sea, foul winds howled and murky waves surged skyward.
Its towering baleful aura and Grievance Force were enough to corrode even a Great Luo Golden Immortal's Indestructible Spiritual Light. Zhenyuanzi's face remained calm, but his eyes shone with insight into the true situation.
He knew his last search had failed not because he had looked in the wrong direction, but because the Blood Sea was too strange and unpredictable. If Ancestor Minghe was determined to hide, searching by brute force would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Ordinary methods won't work. I'll need something out of the ordinary."
Zhenyuanzi's thoughts raced. Vast power coursed through him along a mysterious path, and the Dao resonance around him surged. His figure wavered, shifting between solid and insubstantial. Three figures identical to him appeared beside his original body!
It was the Myriad Transformations Return to Ruin Technique.
The technique was extraordinary. Each clone held part of his original soul and Great Dao Insights. Dividing his power left each with only about sixty percent of his full strength, but Zhenyuanzi's foundation ranked among the strongest in the Primordial Wilderness.
Even at sixty percent, each clone stood firmly at the Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Its power was vast as an abyss, its Dao resonance boundless as the sea. Each far surpassed anyone newly ascended to Da Luo, and even an ordinary Quasi-Saint would struggle to subdue one.
To guard against unknown dangers in the Blood Sea, Zhenyuanzi divided his supreme treasures among them.
His original body naturally wielded the Book of the Earth, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, formed from the essence of Innate Wu Tu. Mysterious yellow light shielded him, faintly linking him to the Primordial Land Veins beneath his feet.
