Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead

Ability of Clones!

Upon hearing Qin Cang's words, Demon Wing Venerable felt a jolt of surprise. He had assumed his disciple was asking for some supreme treasure, a relic for comprehending laws, or perhaps some other bizarre and rare item.

But among the few things he never expected, the ability of clones was at the top of the list.

After all, the ability of clones was far too rare. Even he himself had only obtained it through sheer luck. Back when he was cultivating, the Human Race and the Monster Race were in constant conflict. During a World Lord level battle, he had been incredibly fortunate to encounter a World Lord level Two-Headed Demon Marten. He had spent every ounce of his strength to capture it alive and perform a soul transfer.

Demon Wing Venerable had been lucky; not only was that Two-Headed Demon Marten's bloodline extremely pure, but it had also not yet gestated a clone.

At the time, he only knew of the ability of clones and hadn't thought deeply about the cultivation of one, so he had muddled through and turned his original body into a clone.

Until he broke through to become an Immortal, he didn't realize the importance of clones, and he secretly regretted not being more patient to choose an exceptionally gifted special lifeform as his clone.

Perhaps the Human Race was about to welcome its fourth top-tier Universe Overlord.

However, even without cultivating a powerful special lifeform as a clone, the mere possession of the ability of clones had allowed him to avoid countless dead ends and walk step by step to where he was today.

If he hadn't had a clone, he might still have achieved his current strength and status, but it would have taken much, much longer.

Qin Cang had only asked for the ability of clones as a trial.

After all, having read the original work, he knew the power and preciousness of clones. It could be said that the strength of a clone depended entirely on the person who possessed it.

Just like Luo Feng, whose four divine bodies were all at the level of a Tier 6 combatant within the Primal Universe, or Chaos City Lord, whose three clones were all Tier 5 combatants, each performing their own duties and serving as pillars of the Human Race.

"Teacher, if it is too difficult, I have other things I want. We can talk about clones later," Qin Cang said, feeling dejected. Since Demon Wing Venerable hadn't responded for so long, he assumed it was too difficult to obtain and could only settle for second best.

"Hahaha, as your teacher, I am at least one of the few Universe Overlords of the Human Race who possesses a clone. Your seniors received the same treatment, but they were far more timid, lacked your vision, and their talent was inferior to yours. They never truly got anything good from me, unlike you, my little gold-devouring beast.

You want the ability of clones? I can tell you, it is very difficult."

Hearing this, Qin Cang gave up on the idea of obtaining the clone talent. If something was called difficult by such an ancient, powerful, and wealthy Universe Overlord, what kind of price would it require?

"However, you are also incredibly lucky. It has been exactly 15 million eras since anyone has cleared the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain. Or rather, it has been 15 million eras since anyone has cleared any of the Primal Sky Mountains. Even counting my five major powers, the last person to clear the 20th Level of the Sky Bridge at the World Lord level was 15 million eras ago."

"Teacher, what does this have to do with me obtaining the ability of clones?" Qin Cang asked, puzzled.

"Hahaha, of course it has to do with it. The ability of clones is obtained in one of two ways. The first is through soul transfer, such as the Two-Headed Demon Marten I transferred into, or the Golden Horned Beast among the Starry Sky Behemoths, etc. These special bloodlines all possess the innate clone secret technique.

The second is through the bestowal of the Primal Universe. Wanting the Primal Universe to bestow it is extremely, extremely difficult; no one knows what conditions are required.

However, there are some treasures in the universe that have similar effects, effectively forcing the Primal Universe to bestow the clone talent."

Without waiting for Qin Cang to answer, Demon Wing Venerable continued, "The birth of these treasures requires extremely harsh conditions, even more so than cultivating those special lifeforms with gene levels thousands of times higher than normal. What I want to tell you about is the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead."

As Demon Wing Venerable waved his hand, Qin Cang received information regarding the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead.

"The Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead is a strange object that can only be born in places where the ten laws converge, after being gestated for billions of eras. Its greatest function is that it can be integrated into a World Lord's Internal World. Once integrated, one can gestate a clone, and the limit of the clone's gestation cannot exceed one hundred times the individual's own gene level at the time of integration," Demon Wing Venerable introduced.

"Teacher, can you actually acquire this Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead?" Qin Cang asked, pleasantly surprised.

"Naturally, I can. Seven million eras ago, an Immortal of our Human Race discovered this object while exploring a secret realm, and it eventually entered our Human Race's treasury.

For such a peculiar treasure, although it allows one to gestate a clone, the difficulty of breaking through to become an Immortal will increase significantly after integration. I suspect one would need to fully comprehend the three branches of the time or space laws and create a peak-level secret technique to shatter the Original Core and break through to become an Immortal.

Therefore, for such a treasure, it would be a waste for that Immortal to keep it for himself; it is better to hand it over to the race in exchange for rewards. Moreover, for the race, the price is not the most important factor when using such resources; talent is what matters most," Demon Wing Venerable explained.

"Disciple, I do not worry about your talent. You have only been cultivating for seven thousand years, yet you have already reached the 16th Level of the Sky Bridge and created 'Flame Radiance Breaking the Void', a secret technique that can barely be called top-tier. After integrating this bead, breaking through to become an Immortal in the future should not be a problem," Demon Wing Venerable said, his words tinged with a hint of worry.

"Teacher, are there other difficulties?" Qin Cang noticed the concern in his teacher's eyes.

"The biggest difficulty now is getting those Universe Masters to agree. If it were other clone resources, it might be fine, but the allocation of resources like the Phantom Color Flowing Light Bead is too critical. If used properly, it could fully cultivate two top-tier Universe Overlord-level combatants for our Human Race. Therefore, such treasures require the approval of the Universe Masters.

And those Universe Masters naturally hope that their own disciples will use such resources. Even though my strength is not bad, there is still a large gap between me and those Universe Masters.

Getting that group of people to agree is very difficult."

"Teacher, you should know about the gene breakthrough of our Yan God Clan, right?" Qin Cang laughed.

"Naturally, I know. Could it be that you...?"

"That's right, Teacher. When my Yan God Clan advances to the Domain Lord and World Lord levels, our genes automatically advance to three times and six times that of an ordinary universe lifeform. Furthermore, I have already integrated three Xueluo Crystals. Doesn't that mean I could gestate a special lifeform clone with a gene level as high as a thousand times?"

Qin Cang was incredibly excited. Although the Yan God Clan's genes could evolve, who knew how long it would take to reach a thousand times? A clone with a thousand times the gene level right now was the real deal.

As Qin Cang said this, Demon Wing Venerable instantly understood what he meant.

"Haha, that is excellent! I didn't expect your Yan God Clan to be so special. You just lack a deep foundation right now; given time, the Human Race will definitely have a place for your Yan God Clan.

Rest assured, disciple, I will definitely handle this for you. I will make you the fourth top-tier Universe Overlord of our Human Race and the first Universe Venerable of your Yan God Clan. It will be the biggest talking point for me when I drink with my friends in the future.

Besides, a mere thousand times? How could that be enough?

Since you have already integrated three Xueluo Crystals, you can integrate more. When I apply for the resources for you, I will make sure you gestate a one-of-a-kind special lifeform with a gene level reaching several thousand times."
