From Gentleness to Empire
The Initial Universe, the mysterious ocean.
The vast, boundless water surface surged with Divine Power like a tide, whipping up thousands of waves, roaring and surging, stirring up the entire year.
Finally, the storm subsided.
When Long Jiangxue stood on the shore again, she was no longer the girl she once was. She had her hair styled in a gentle bun, wore an elegant lady's dress, and her face was so rosy that it looked like it could be pinched to release water. Her smooth oval face showed no trace of childishness, only a well-behaved and dignified aura surrounding her. Even her iconic dragon horns were tinged with a bright red.
Tang Ping stood with his hands behind his back, looking at his newly acquired concubine with satisfaction.
What he admired most was Long Jiangxue's refined and elegant demeanor, which perfectly fulfilled his childhood fantasies.
A girl like this would be the apple of her parents' eye during her school days, a favorite student of her teachers, with outstanding grades and a Gentle nature. She would always be picked up and dropped off by her family after school, and ordinary people would not even have a chance to talk to her.
After graduation, most of them follow their parents' arrangements, marry into families of equal social standing, and live a peaceful and stable life.
He stepped forward, his fingertips gently tracing the warm dragon horns, then bent down to kiss her smooth forehead, his tone tender as he placed a leaf in her hand. "This is a Divine Power Leaf; keep it."
Once you reach the Realm Lord stage, the Virtual Universe Company will most likely arrange for you to train in outer realms. If you encounter danger, simply call for me in the Virtual Universe; if possible, I can use God Kingdom Teleportation to rush to your rescue.
These were, of course, leaves from his Immortal Level Cloud-Touching Vine; his own God Kingdom would never be exposed.
Then he added, "In addition, I have transferred one billion Hunyuan to you. You can use it to purchase some useful treasures."
Armor, such as the Immortal Level Cloud-Touching Vine and Star-Eating Grass, can greatly increase your survivability.
Cultivate diligently, and I will await the day you attain immortality.
Upon hearing this, Long Jiangxue's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
This time spent together allowed her to truly taste the flavor of love. Her body and soul were filled with the person before her, and she felt as if she had become his possession. Suddenly having to part ways, she felt an emptiness in her heart and was very reluctant to leave.
But she also knew that Tang Ping was King-Rank Immortal and the pillar of his clan, busy with countless affairs. If she continued to pester him with her romantic feelings, it would only annoy him and cause her more harm than good.
She pursed her lips, her voice as soft as cotton. "Then... then if I miss you in the future, can I still come to see you?"
Tang Ping chuckled and nodded, "Of course. You're one of the people I love most. When you miss me, just ask Little Love about my schedule first. If you're free, you can come find me directly."
"Um!"
Hearing "one of my favorites," Long Jiangxue felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She tiptoed and glanced at Tang Ping few more times before taking out the E9-Grade Starship given to her by her beloved, turning into a streak of Flowing Light and disappearing into the horizon of the Initial Universe.
She secretly resolved to cultivate diligently and break through to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible. Only in this way could she stand shoulder to shoulder with her beloved and live Yongheng. Otherwise, time is merciless, and she would eventually turn into a withered flower, grow old and frail, and be completely abandoned by time.
Looking in the direction where the starship disappeared, Tang Ping breathed a long sigh of relief.
The young woman was considerate, Gentle, and obedient, doing whatever she was asked, which was indeed endearing. However, her only drawback was that she was too clingy. Now that she's finally gone, I can finally have some peace and quiet.
Of course, everything he just said was true.
As everyone knows, Tang Ping has always been a devoted person! However, this beautiful and sincere affection was divided into countless pieces, each piece of which was given completely to one lover. He was devoted enough to everyone.
This is the purest and most beautiful love!
After a moment of reflection, Tang Ping casually connected to the Virtual Universe, preparing to make a call to his three wives who were currently engaged in arduous cultivation.
A recent order notification showed that Luo Xiaoyu and her two companions were making remarkable progress in their cultivation. In just two thousand years, they had already gained the recognition of the laws. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be able to touch the bottleneck of immortality within one hundred thousand years.
At that time, we will ask King Level mentor to tailor a training program for them, achieving a 100-fold increase in their strength, and then send them to Chaos City for secluded cultivation, greatly increasing their chances of breaking through to immortality.
Excellent, truly excellent.
In the Virtual Universe, Tang Ping spoke with each of the three women in turn, their words filled with deep affection. After a tender and intimate conversation, the three women were all in high spirits and immediately returned to their tedious and arduous cultivation.
After talking with his wife, Tang Ping checked on the recent situation of his three children.
Upon closer inspection, his brow furrowed slightly, clearly indicating that the situation was not optimistic.
The three children had never experienced much hardship since childhood. Now, suddenly thrown into a cruel trial, their minds were under constant tension, and their condition was deteriorating day by day, even showing signs of despair.
Based on the mental curve of "From Joy to Despair" left by the illusion master, these three little ones can only last for a maximum of one thousand years. If their cultivation does not improve further, they will probably suffer a mental breakdown and end up self-destructing.
The suggestion that came with the order was quite straightforward: have one of the parents participate in the trial.
For example, as the children progress in their spiritual practice, they can gradually be given the opportunity to talk to their parents, then to meet them, and finally even be given the task of "redeeming their seriously injured parents".
In this way, the children have the motivation to train desperately.
In addition, they can be provided with rare and precious materials to enhance their talents, or arranged to have Daoist partners. According to big data statistics, cultivators with partners and offspring often unleash stronger potential, making them veritable "walking dark matter powered oxen and horses."
Tang Ping was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, these illusion masters are truly professional; their minds are so dirty! If they used this trick on me, I'd probably have to risk my life to pass the trials.
Those who work in psychology are all cunning and resourceful!
After a moment's hesitation, Tang Ping tapped the virtual screen with his finger and replied with only two words: "He's coming!"
In the past two thousand years, in addition to comprehending the Laws of Origin and studying the Divine Power Path, he also took the opportunity to study the Clone Secret Technique for a while.
The Clone Secret Technique can actually be mastered after one has achieved the Marquis Immortal. After all, at that level, the soul has already completely merged with the Divine Power body, and as long as the fragments of the divine body remain, one can be resurrected.
Therefore, by simply dividing the divine body, one can condense Divine Power Clone.
However, the vast majority of Immortal God would never use this secret technique lightly. Firstly, splitting one's divine body would greatly damage one's own strength, making one vulnerable to being exploited by one's nemesis; secondly, if the clone were enslaved by the enemy, the original body would also suffer an irredeemable fate.
However, the benefits of the clone technique are equally tempting. If one clone is killed by a powerful enemy, the remaining clones can hide in the God Kingdom and slumber, slowly recovering from their injuries, which is equivalent to having an extra life.
This is precisely why many geniuses who don't have clones painstakingly study various Clone Secret Technique.
Some secret techniques allow clones to quickly regenerate after the original body perishes, while others create clones that possess two or three tenths of the original body's strength without significantly affecting it.
In the art of creating clones, the most renowned is Venerable Kandri. Legend has it that this Venerable can simultaneously create fifty-two clones, each possessing eighty percent of the original's strength!
What does this mean? One Venerable is equivalent to fifty-two other powerful individuals of the same level! Keep in mind that the entire Human Race only has a few thousand Venerable!
Therefore, Tang Ping spent 10 billion Hunyuan to buy the <Kandri's Clone Secret Technique> from Venerable Kandri. Moreover, this secret technique has consistently topped the sales charts in the virtual Universe Mall for many years.
Clearly, in everyone's eyes, survival is always the top priority.
However, Venerable Kandri left a special note on the title page of this secret method:
[He was able to create such a powerful clone because he was born with schizophrenia. Fortunately, the differences between each strand of his consciousness were not significant, preventing him from completely losing control. Later, a fortuitous encounter allowed each strand of consciousness to transform into an independent soul. Furthermore, since they were originally from the same source, this created this incredible miracle.]
Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Because of the interference between the countless souls within his body, Venerable Kandri's speed of comprehending the laws was greatly reduced, and he was stuck before the chasm of the Universe Master for countless billions of years.
Even so, this secret technique is still considered heaven-defying. Once mastered, it can condense at least 30% of the original body's strength into an avatar, with almost no impact on the original body.
More importantly, the secret technique also comes with a soul-binding secret art. If the clone is controlled by illusion or Soul Enslavement, it will automatically self-destruct, eliminating the possibility of being controlled by the enemy from the root.
The number and strength of the clones depend entirely on the size of the original divine body. For example, if an immortal divine body is only ten kilometers in size, it can only be divided into several divine bodies, which cannot exceed 30% of the original divine body as clones.
The smaller the clone, the weaker its power, and the less resistant it is to Soul Attack.
Tang Ping looked up at the boundless Divine Power Ocean beneath his feet and fell into deep thought.
His divine body spans a distance of 80 million kilometers!
Eighty million kilometers multiplied by 30% equals twenty-four million kilometers! That means he can create a full twenty-four million clones, each with a divine body one kilometer long! Add to that his five hundredfold gene amplification—
Aside from their weakness to Soul Attack and illusions, each clone possesses Invincible King!
Twenty-four million Invincible King!
Looking across the entire Universe Ocean, who else can rival him?!
Gaa gaa gaa!
