Returning Cloud Heart Sutra
In just a short while, the Ancestral Dragon Clone had a general understanding of the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra.
The Returning Cloud Heart Sutra is a cultivation manual that leads directly to the God King level. It contains various profound and powerful secret methods, including how True God comprehends the Ten Origin Laws to break through to the Void True God level, how Void True God comprehends the Source of Laws to become Eternal True God, how Eternal True God comprehends Chaos to become Chaos Great Saint, and guidance on creating a world from Chaos to become God King.
Besides these cultivation guidance-type inheritances, the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra also contains secret techniques similar to the three ultimate moves of the Duan Donghe.
For example, the Divine Power Burning Secret Art White River; the Willpower Attack Secret Technique Godbreaker; and the Life-Saving Secret Technique Person in the Painting.
There's not much to say about the White River's Divine Power Burning Secret Art. As God King, this Divine Power Burning Secret Art is divided into three levels. The first level can increase the user's divine power intensity tenfold, comparable to the Bloodburn Secret Art of the Ancestral Dragon Clone. The second level increases it by a hundredfold, and the third level by a thousandfold. With the current strength of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, Void True God, he can only cultivate the first two levels. It seems inferior to Luo Feng's Annihilation Technique, since the first level of Annihilation can increase it by a hundredfold. However, it's not actually that simple. The power of Annihilation decreases as strength increases. After Luo Feng came to the Origin Continent, the increase from Annihilation became negligible, while White River could increase it even before becoming God King.
The Divine Godbreaker Technique, a secret art of willpower attack, is an extremely domineering technique. It attacks directly with willpower, instantly killing opponents whose willpower is a whole level lower than one's own. It can also exert a great suppressive effect on opponents whose willpower is lower than one's own but at the same level. Of course, since it requires crossing a whole level to instantly kill, it is far inferior to Luo Feng's Lie Yuan Art.
However, this secret method of willpower is not dangerous to cultivate. As long as one's willpower reaches the level of Eternal True God, one can cultivate it. It is very suitable for Gulanxiu at this stage.
As for the life-saving secret technique of the Person in the Painting, it was created by the Returning Cloud God King based on the World Path he cultivated. As long as one uses one's own blood to draw a copy of oneself on a special scroll using a secret technique, one can be resurrected using the person in the painting as a vessel after the original body perishes.
Of course, there is a prerequisite: it cannot be destroyed by the will. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to having a resurrectable vessel before reaching the God King realm, leaving it in a safe place, and resurrecting it after the original body perishes.
Although it has many limitations in its use, it is more convenient and safer than Luo Feng's Undying River in the original novel because the Scroll Painting can be left in a safe place.
Of course, every secret technique has its drawbacks. According to the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra, if the Scroll Painting is obtained by God King who cultivates the Causality Path, that God King can also use the causal connection between the Scroll Painting and his own body to directly curse and kill him from a distance!
The Ancestral Dragon Clone didn't care about this at all. To put it bluntly, this secret technique was only useful before the God King. As long as he put the Scroll Painting in the Guiyun Sect, it wouldn't attract the attention of the God King of Karma!
When he gets to offend the God King, he probably won't need this Scroll Painting to save his life anymore. The God King on the Origin Continent is notoriously difficult to kill. If you can't kill all his clones and resurrection vessels at once, the God King can abandon everything and sever all karmic ties to reincarnate and start over in an instant.
Therefore, it is rare for God King to engage in deadly battles, except for those eccentric cultivators of the Chaos Source Bloodline.
Besides these three major secret techniques, the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra also records many other secret techniques, which will not be listed here.
Furthermore, the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra also provides a detailed division between the various realms based on combat power, with each realm consisting of True God, Void True God, Eternal True God, and each realm being divided into twelve levels.
Among them, the first level of True God Heavenly Aspect the sixth level of the Original Universe, the second Heavenly Aspect the Peak Sixth Stage, and so on. The twelfth Heavenly Aspect of True God is equivalent to the top level of the eleventh level of the Original Universe, which is basically the same as the weakest Void True God who has just broken through.
The weakest Void True God is only at the first level of Void Realm, basically a Qian-level secret technique. With higher-level divine power, he possesses the strength of an eleventh-level True God, but is weaker than the Ancestral Dragon Clone just arrived on the Origin Continent.
At that time, the Ancestral Dragon's Clone Secret Technique was at the top level of the Tenth Stage, and its divine power was 9.5 times that of an ordinary Void True God. Even without considering the Chaos Golden Wings and the Bloodburn Secret Art, it was equivalent to the third level of Void True God. When its combat power was fully unleashed, it was roughly the strength of the sixth level of Void True God.
As for now, with the top- Twelfth Stage secret technique and the Bloodburn Secret Art, the immense power of his divine strength, and the blessing of the Chaos Golden Wings, the Ancestral Dragon Clone probably possesses the strength of Void True God at the tenth level.
The same applies to the Eternal True God above the Void True God. Generally speaking, Perfect Gene Divine Body of the Fourteenth Order secret techniques, without Supreme Treasure the same level or Divine Power Burning Secret Art, represents the strength of the first level of the Eternal Realm.
Of course, generally speaking, the Eternal True God is already in the middle level of the Origin Continent. Even if they have just broken through, they would not lack the Divine Power Burning Secret Art and secret techniques of the same level. Therefore, the first level of Eternal Heaven only exists in theory.
Thinking this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone began to examine his own residence. It was a place that was 1 million kilometers long and wide, with a small mountain that was 800,000 kilometers high, as well as some beautiful lakes and rivers, and more than a thousand pavilions and halls. Beneath the ground of this cave, there was an underground palace.
Because this residence is near the Chaos Ruins, the Chaos Law are particularly clear here, making cultivation here more than ten times faster than outside.
The Ancestral Dragon Clone was quite satisfied with this mansion. This scale was clearly prepared for the Eternal True God. After all, the Eternal True God's Divine Body was enormous, and revealing his true form during cultivation required a vast space. Of course, the Ancestral Dragon Clone possessed Infinite Divine Body, and its Size at Will, so he did not need such a large mansion. However, this also showed how much the Returning Cloud God King valued him.
It's worth noting that in the original novel, Luo Feng's residence in Huyang City was only 200,000 square kilometers in area. This residence is much larger than Luo Feng's original residence.
Just as the Ancestral Dragon Clone was about to cultivate, he saw the token that the Returning Cloud God King had just given him glow slightly, so he poured a trace of divine power into the token.
Soon, a projection of an old man with a full head of white hair appeared in front of the Ancestral Dragon Clone.
The old man spoke, "Your Lord Gu Long, my name is Bart, you can call me Old Burter. I am the steward of the Guiyun Sect's Core Disciple area. You can give me any orders within the Guiyun Sect! In addition, as the Sect Leader's True Disciple, Your Highness can recruit one Void True God and ten True God Level Outer Sect Disciple as attendants to handle miscellaneous matters for you. Your Highness can come here to choose when you have time."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone said, "I have just become a disciple and received the supreme inheritance of my Guiyun Sect. Right now, I need to cultivate diligently and do not need any attendants for the time being. I will contact you again when I need them!"
Old Burter, however, said somewhat anxiously, "If Your Highness is busy, then let me help you choose! It would be more convenient to have someone within the sect to do things for you."
Seeing Barto's reaction, the Ancestral Dragon Clone pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Old Burter!"
Old Burter smiled and said, "No trouble at all! It's my honor to serve Your Highness!"
Although he said this, Old Burter was secretly delighted. The Ancestral Dragon Clone had entrusted him with the entire matter, and he could also benefit from it.
It's important to know that being a follower of Core Disciple in the Guiyun Sect Outer Sect Disciple a lucrative position. Generally speaking, the Guiyun Sect bestows upon these Outer Sect Disciple a set of equipment of the corresponding level and some secret techniques before incorporating them into the army. Apart from receiving some Cosmic Sand at fixed times, they are basically left to their own devices.
These Outer Sect Disciple need to make certain contributions if they want to obtain better cultivation inheritance or cultivation resources.
However, following Core Disciple is different. To become Core Disciple of the Guiyun Sect, one must pass a rigorous examination. As long as one does not perish, one can at least become Eternal True God through enlightenment in the future. The Returning Cloud God King is even more strict in accepting disciples; one must at least have the potential to Saint-Level before he will accept one as a disciple.
Of the six disciples of the Returning Cloud God King before the Ancestral Dragon Clone, two are now Chaos Great Saint, and the remaining four are all powerful beings at or above the eighth level of the Eternal Realm.
For the Outer Sect Disciple, becoming an attendant of such a powerful figure was a great opportunity. After all, even a small opportunity slipped through the fingers of such a powerful figure could make these Outer Sect Disciple ecstatic.
Furthermore, followers who become Core Disciple can also enter the Core Disciple ' residences to cultivate. Since the residences of Core Disciple are close to the Chaos Ruins, the Chaos Law are clearer there, which is a kind of benefit for them.
Therefore, most Outer Sect Disciple hope to become followers of Core Disciple. Now that the Ancestral Dragon Clone has entrusted this matter entirely to Old Burter, Old Burter can obtain certain benefits from it.
Of course, these Ancestral Dragon Clone didn't think about it in detail. Even if they knew, it wouldn't matter to them; none of this was important.
Not long after, the identity token of the Ancestral Dragon Clone lit up again. After the Ancestral Dragon Clone inputted a wisp of divine power, Old Burter's figure appeared in front of the Ancestral Dragon Clone once again.
Old Burter respectfully said, "Your Lord Gu Long, I have brought the attendants I have selected for you. Please open the mansion and see if you are satisfied with these attendants!"
The Gu Long clone nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Old Burter!"
As he said this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone used the token to open the array outside the mansion, allowing Old Burter to bring his people in.
Soon, Old Burter led eleven Outer Sect Disciple to the Ancestral Dragon Clone.
To the surprise of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, Old Burter was actually an Eternal True God. Before, Old Burter had been so humble that the Ancestral Dragon Clone had thought he was a Void True God! After all, even within the Guiyun Sect, the status of Eternal True God was not low. Apart from the Returning Cloud God King and the nine Chaos Great Saint, the next level down in the entire Guiyun Sect was the Eternal True God. With the strength of Eternal True God, it was impossible for him to be a steward.
Perhaps sensing the confusion of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, Old Burter explained, "Your Lord Gu Long is wondering why I am Eternal True God?"
The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded and said, "That's right!"
Old Burter chuckled and said, "My talent for cultivation is quite ordinary. Although I was fortunate enough to become Inner Disciple of the Guiyun Sect back then, I was never able to become Core Disciple of the Chaos Great Saint. Later, with the sect's support, I successfully advanced to the Void True God realm, but I've been stuck at the ninth level of the Void True God realm ever since. I had no choice but to focus on cultivating my bloodline, and I discovered that my bloodline was actually quite good. I actually managed to advance to the Eternal True God, but that's where it ends. Now that my potential is exhausted, I'm afraid I'll be stuck at the fourth level of the Eternal True God for the rest of my life!"
The Ancestral Dragon Clone suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
Bloodline cultivation is also a mainstream method of cultivation in the Origin Continent. Life forms born in the Origin Continent are naturally endowed with powerful bloodlines and can rapidly grow stronger by tapping into their bloodline potential. The stronger the bloodline power contained within the body, the greater the potential. However, once the bloodline power within the body is exhausted, it becomes very difficult to improve further.
Because the power within one's bloodline is ultimately not as profound as what one comprehends on one's own. Although one can use it, one does not understand the underlying principles, making it virtually impossible to break through the shackles. Generally speaking, without a fortuitous encounter, even the most powerful bloodline can only reach the limit of achieving Chaos with its power. The vast majority of bloodline cultivators stop at the Void True God. Someone like Old Burter, who achieved Eternal True God through his bloodline, is already quite remarkable.
Almost all God King on the Origin Continent achieved this through enlightenment, so when Guiyun Sect accepts disciples, the requirement for Void True God is that they must cultivate the Law Path.
At this moment, Old Burter said with a smile, "Alright! Your Lord Gu Long, are you satisfied with the attendants I brought for you?"
Only then did the Ancestral Dragon Clone turn its gaze to the eleven Outer Sect Disciple behind Old Burter.
To the absurdity of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, all eleven Outer Sect Disciple were female cultivators, each possessing stunning beauty.
Seeing that the Ancestral Dragon Clone had focused its gaze on them, the Outer Sect Disciple simultaneously bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Lord Gu Long!"
At this moment, Old Burter said, "Your Highness! These Outer Sect Disciple were handpicked by me. These ten True God are all cultivators at the eighth level of True God or above. This Void True God is one of only two Void True God at the sixth level among the Outer Sect Disciple who haven't been assigned yet. Although their strength is nothing to Your Highness, it's enough for them to handle some miscellaneous matters for you!"
The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded after hearing this and said, "In that case, let them all stay!"
Old Burter smiled and said, "Since Your Highness is satisfied with these attendants, then I shall take my leave." With that, he turned and left without any hesitation, as if he were afraid of disturbing the interaction Ancestral Dragon Clone and these women.
The Ancestral Dragon Clone watched Old Burter leave speechlessly, then asked the leading female Void True God, "What's your name?"
The female Void True God quickly replied, "Your Highness! My name is Xiyue!"
The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded, then said to Xiyue, "The underground main hall is my cultivation place. You are not allowed to enter without my permission. As for you, find a side hall to cultivate in yourselves! From now on, you will be the steward of this mansion, and these ten will also be under your management!"
Xiyue nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Your Highness!"
The Ancestral Dragon Clone waved his hand and said, "Alright! You may all leave! I'm going into seclusion to cultivate. Don't disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary! I'll summon you if needed!"
After saying that, he turned and walked into the main hall, closed the door, and entered a meditative state.
