The Old Man's Promise
After a pause, the old man continued, "But splitting the soul is different. In fact, splitting the soul isn't that difficult! Most of our Human Race's Immortal Expert can do it. However, there are no benefits after splitting the soul and divine Divine Body. Although the death of one Divine Body isn't true death, it's still extremely dangerous if you encounter a master of souls! He only needs to infiltrate your soul to annihilate all the souls and Divine Body you've split off. He can also directly control you through Soul Enslavement. Therefore, very few of our Human Race's powerhouses do this!"
Gulanxiu nodded in agreement. The old man's words reminded him of the Demon Hand King in the original story. In the original story, the Demon Hand King escaped Luo Feng's pursuit by splitting his Divine Body Divine Body, but his strength was greatly reduced because of this.
The old man continued, "Of course, your ability to forcibly condense ten percent of your soul is quite remarkable!"
Many Immortal Expert fall into slumber when their souls are reduced to only 10%. Although you have obtained the Ancestral Dragon Clone, its incomplete soul makes it difficult to unleash its full power. Currently, this Ancestral Dragon Clone can only enhance your survival abilities to some extent.
"Ancestral Dragon? Senior, is the species of my clone called Ancestral Dragon?" Gulanxiu asked curiously.
"That's right! To be precise, there used to be a Special Life form called Ancestral Dragon that looked exactly like your clone, though only in appearance. As a unique Special Life, Ancestral Dragon was born as Realm Lord and possessed five thousand times the Life Gene. Your Domain Lord with a hundred times the Gene is far inferior to him!" the old man said calmly.
Gulanxiu nodded in agreement, because to be precise, what he had obtained was a low-quality, castrated version of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, and because of its incomplete soul, it was difficult to even move, let alone use it for combat.
Thinking of this, Gulanxiu asked expectantly, "Senior! Do you have any way to help me control this Ancestral Dragon Clone?"
""
The old man shook his head and said, "If you want to control this Ancestral Dragon Clone, you can only rely on yourself. I can only think of two methods. The first is to try to restore the soul of the Ancestral Dragon Clone using the method you just used to repair your soul. But I estimate that it is impossible. It is already difficult to restore 10% with 90%, and it is basically impossible to restore 90% with 10%!"
Just like a gecko losing its tail, although the main body of the tail can grow back, it's extremely difficult for it to grow a whole body from the tail.
Gulanxiu did not answer, because he did not know if Green Lotus would help him restore the soul of the Ancestral Dragon Clone. Now that the old man was in front of him, he could not try. Although the old man had no ill intentions and knew some of his secrets, he still wanted to reveal as little as possible.
The old man continued, "The second method is to enhance your willpower. Once your willpower reaches a certain level, even with only ten percent of your soul, you can control this Ancestral Dragon Clone."
Hearing this, Gulanxiu nodded and then asked, "Senior, roughly what level of consciousness is needed to Soul Control?"
The old man thought for a moment and then said, "Before you break through to Immortal, you'll probably need the will of Universe Venerable. Of course, even if you can't perfectly control this clone, it will still be very useful to you. After you break through to Immortal, place this clone within your Divine Kingdom. As long as your original body isn't Soul Annihilation, you can use this clone to revive your original body. Although this clone is incomplete, its ability to protect itself is no different from a complete clone. It just can't be used in combat."
After a pause, the old man continued, "Young man, I'll make you another promise! Although your clone is weak, it is essentially formed from the essence of the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood, so theoretically it can also be considered an Ancestral Dragon."
"Now the Ancestral Dragon's Inheritance Dragon Pearl is in my hands. If you absorb all the Essence Blood within this Inheritance Dragon Pearl, your clone may become the true Ancestral Dragon. I'll make you a promise: if you can perfectly control this body when you reach the Realm Lord Level and pass through the Realm Lord Level Heavenly Mountain, I will give you the Inheritance Dragon Pearl. How about that?"
Gulanxiu's eyes lit up upon hearing the old man's words. His Ancestral Dragon Clone had already sensed something on the old man that was attracting him, and now that the old man had mentioned it, he realized that it was the Ancestral Dragon's Inheritance Dragon Pearl.
According to the old man, if he could truly absorb all of the Ancestral Dragon's Essence Blood, the Ancestral Dragon Clone might become Special Life with Five-thousand-fold Gene. It should be noted that before the Lord of the Universe, the limit for ordinary life forms was one hundred times the Life Gene.
Although Gulanxiu has the Green Lotus cheat, he can't guarantee that he can break through the hundredfold limit. After all, the first two upgrades of the Green Lotus increased his Gene Multiplier by five times, but the third upgrade only increased it by four times, stopping right at the hundredfold limit. So Gulanxiu is not sure if he can break through the hundredfold limit.
Once he possesses five thousand times the Special Life Clone, he could potentially become a Top-tier Universe Overlord at the Universe Venerable stage. Due to the limitations of Life Gene, it is difficult for the Human Race to produce Top-tier Universe Overlord; in the original work, there were only three during Luo Feng's era.
Thinking of this, Gulanxiu quickly said, "Thank you for your generosity, senior!"
The old man chuckled and said, "Young man, you're quite confident! Back then, I went a bit too far and killed this Ancestral Dragon, depriving our Human Race of a top-tier Special Life to possess. Now, you've fortuitously obtained an Ancestral Dragon Clone. If you truly have potential, I will naturally help you, thus fulfilling one of my regrets. Of course, whether you can obtain the Inheritance Dragon Pearl depends on your abilities."
Gulanxiu nodded and said, "Then, senior! How will I find you then?"
The old man said, "If you can get through Heavenly Mountain, I will naturally know, and I will contact you then. If you cannot get through Heavenly Mountain, there is no point in me telling you all this!"
Upon hearing this, Gulanxiu bowed and said, "Very well! Senior! I'll take my leave now!"
With that, he waved his hand and stored the newly acquired Ancestral Dragon Clone into his World Ring, preparing to walk down to the bottom of the Precious Pagoda.
The old man suddenly said, "You angered those Dragon Beast Dragon Beast when you came in, and now they're going berserk outside the tower! Getting out safely will be a bit difficult!"
Gulanxiu paused upon hearing the old man's words. The Dragon Beast closest to the Precious Pagoda outside were all at the Peak World Lord! It would be unwise for him, with his small arms and legs, to venture out rashly.
It seems the secret of the Green Lotus will eventually be exposed. However, judging from the conversation just now, I'm lucky. This mysterious old man probably won't covet my Heavy Treasure, provided that Gulanxiu doesn't act too unusually.
Just then, the old man suddenly said, "Never mind! Let me help you!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Gulanxiu felt dizzy. When he recovered, he was already in orbit outside of Dragon Tower Star.
After seeing Gulanxiu off, the old man muttered to himself, "A very mysterious little fellow. However, to become a strong person, talent, temperament, and opportunity are all indispensable. I can't even see through the opportunity this little fellow has received, and his soul doesn't show any signs of being possessed. He certainly has the potential to become a strong person! I can tell Chaos to pay more attention to him."
As he spoke, the old man sent an email in the Virtual Universe. After doing so, he added, "It's a pity that he's caught that guy's attention, but I can't very well accept him as a disciple. I don't know if becoming that guy's disciple would be good or bad for him!"
The old man clearly disliked the fellow he was talking about; a hint of disgust was evident in his eyes as he spoke of him.
