Clones
This infuriated Xu Qing. Even if he knew it was fake, he couldn't stand it. This illusion was like a poison, and it was taking advantage of his wife again. It was utterly despicable.
"This Illusion Sea is just a lump, a huge lump!" Xu Qing roared.
Click!
Enraged by the broken environment, Xu Qing turned and left without even glancing at the seventh island.
In the shadows, an elderly man in Black Scale Armor looked utterly bewildered. What was going on?
As the Guardian, he certainly didn't know what was inside the illusion, but seeing Xu Qing so angry, he could guess that it must be because of the illusion.
"No, what did this little guy see that made him so angry?" the old man asked, puzzled.
He had seen many people attempt the Illusion Sea, but this was the first time he had seen someone who had cleared it and was still so angry.
Xu Qing returned to the starting point with a disgruntled expression.
"Xiao Qing, what's wrong? Is it because you failed the challenge?" Luo Feng teased.
"This Illusion Sea is nothing," Xu Qing said, looking annoyed.
Luo Feng rarely saw Xu Qing looking annoyed. This situation was usually related to the people around him. Could it be that the illusion was deliberately making the people around him suffer terribly?
"Xiao Qing, since you know it's an illusion, just ignore it and don't worry about it," Luo Feng said.
Xu Qing snorted, "I guarantee that as I continue down this path, it'll be nothing but unpleasant stuff, completely unchanging."
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and Babata were both taken aback, then, realizing something, burst out laughing, "It must be because your state of mind is too perfect, Xiao Qing, that's why the illusion can only resort to such tricks."
Humans have seven emotions and six desires; illusions attack the mind, and these attacks target these seven emotions and six desires.
"How despicable! Absolutely despicable! I'm never going there again. I'd be a dog if I did!" Xu Qing was furious. This damned Illusion Sea was deliberately designed to humiliate people.
"Alright, alright, it's all an illusion, fake. If you take it seriously, you'll lose," Luo Feng reassured him.
"Anyway, I'm not going again," Xu Qing said, pursing her lips.
Luo Feng shook his head, deciding to let him be. In any case, Xu Qing's mental state was similar to Hong and Thor's —very high—so this Illusion Sea wouldn't be difficult for him.
Then, Luo Feng went to explore the Illusion Sea on his own.
Having conquered the sixth island in the Illusion Sea, Xu Qing once again earned 6,300 points.
The Illusion Sea and the Heavenly Bridge have the same point system: starting with 100, then 200, 400, 800, and so on, for a total of 21 islands.
He now has over 60,000 points.
After a while, Luo Feng came out.
"Brother-in-law, how was it? Were there a lot of suggestive scenes?" Xu Qing asked.
Luo Feng shook his head. "No, I haven't encountered that."
The implication is that Xu Qing was the one who received that kind of treatment.
"Hahaha..." Babata and Akaro both burst out laughing.
Xu Qing's eye twitched. "So, brother-in-law, which island have you ventured onto?"
"We failed at the ninth and tenth summits after a short while. If it were you and your Elder Brother brothers, you should have been able to go much further," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, you have a ripe scent about you, a bit like my harmony with Unity of Heaven and Man," Xu Qing leaned forward and sniffed, like a puppy.
Luo Feng raised an eyebrow at his actions, surprised that he had noticed so quickly.
"I've just figured out some things, and my mindset has changed," Luo Feng said casually.
Xu Qing blinked. "I see," she thought. "That must be great news."
"Let's go back and check on the next steps," Luo Feng called out.
Xu Qing nodded and then left.
After some consideration, Luo Feng decided to try out a few missions on his own first, since his Earthling was Clone and he wasn't afraid of perishing, as he could be reborn.
Xu Qing is different; he doesn't have Clone, so if he encounters danger, the possibility of him perishing is too high.
"Brother-in-law, it's okay, I'm a fast runner," Xu Qing said, wanting to go.
"No, this time I chose a dangerous mission. I'll encounter enemies at the World Lord level. Even if your Origin Law of Space level is high, it's still too low, and you don't have much ability to protect yourself."
"I'll test the waters first and do a couple of tasks. Xiao Qing, you should focus on your cultivation and not rush into tasks. Also, I suggest you find a Clone technique to cultivate."
"Although creating Clone is a talent that cannot be cultivated directly, I have seen some secret techniques that can create Clone. These techniques require the original genes of rare races or Special Lifeform with the Clone Talent."
"I happen to have the original life genes of the Golden Horned Behemoth here, which can help you complete this step."
"Once you've mastered the Clone technique and gained the ability to protect yourself, things will be much easier when you're doing missions. After all, I know you definitely wouldn't be interested in those easy missions," Luo Feng said.
"Clone technique, huh? It does seem feasible," Xu Qing thought for a moment and agreed that it made sense.
He only has his main body; if he dies, he dies. If he had Clone, things would be much better; they could save his life and he would be more maneuverable.
"Well, Xiao Qing, you should find a good Clone technique to practice first. Don't rush into doing missions. You're not in a hurry to earn points. Once I'm more familiar with it, I'll take you on missions together," Luo Feng suggested.
After considering it for a moment, Xu Qing decided to listen to Luo Feng.
"Alright, then brother-in-law, be careful. We'll do the mission together after I've finished mastering the Clone technique," Xu Qing reminded him.
"Don't worry, I'm really reluctant to part with Xiao Qing, your best support and super Archer. Wait for my message," Luo Feng smiled and handed him a vial of the Golden Horned Behemoth's marrow and blood.
Following Luo Feng's advice, Xu Qing returned to the manor and began selecting Clone Secret Technique.
"The Clone Secret Technique, let me see," Xu Qing said as he looked through the various methods.
These Clone Secret Technique come in many forms, such as energy life Clone, plant life Clone, and Metal Lifeform Clone...
Each type of Clone also varies in number.
Certainly, the more Clone can create, the higher the level of the Clone technique; correspondingly, the greater the difficulty in creating Clone.
However, all of this is predicated on having the original life genes containing the Clone Talent; otherwise, it's out of the question.
This very premise alone is enough to stump 90% of those who want to cultivate Clone.
"I wonder if there's a Clone Secret Technique like Lord Candery's. I don't need that many, eight would be fine," Xu Qing said as he searched.
After searching around, Xu Qing found several decent Clone Secret Technique, but they were all very expensive, and creating Clone required a lot of materials, all of which cost money and points.
"Sixty thousand points, plus a few hundred Hunyuan Unit, aren't enough," Xu Qing scratched his head.
This Clone is something that ordinary cultivators can't handle.
Luo Feng was able to create Clone only because of the Golden Horned Behemoth's talent, and even if the Clone were destroyed, they could be reborn in a short time, consuming only a little of the Golden Horned Behemoth's energy.
However, the Clone Secret Technique is different; if Clone is destroyed, resources must be poured into rebuilding it.
"The Parent-Child Clone Technique uses the genes of the original body and the genes of Special Lifeform as a blueprint to create life Clone, up to three in total." Xu Qing had considered many options, but in the end, he chose this conventional Clone technique.
This secret technique of Clone creates life Clone that are all sub- Clone of the original body, sharing the original body's cultivation level and realm, as well as its consciousness.
Moreover, whether it is the death of the main body or the death of the offspring, it can be reshaped and resurrected by using one of them as an anchor point.
The premise is that the parent organism and all its child organisms cannot be destroyed at the same time.
Therefore, generally speaking, those who have mastered this Parent-Child Clone Technique will hide their main body or one of their child bodies as an anchor point for resurrection.
This Clone technique is somewhat similar to the Golden Horned Behemoth's talent.
The core of the Golden Horned Behemoth is its Internal World; as long as its Internal World is not destroyed, it will not die.
"Then we'll need Special Lifeform genes. Fortunately, the Virtual Universe Company has collected a lot of the remains of ordinary Special Lifeform, and the land isn't expensive," Xu Qing opened the corresponding interface and began screening for the cheapest Special Lifeform.
Xu Qing plans to use plant Rock Lifeform genes for one of the three sub-sub...
"These are the three: Star Tree, Boundary Stone Beast, and Rainbow Light Clan," Xu Qing said, making his decision immediately after reviewing the descriptions of the three Special Lifeform.
Among them, the Boundary Stone Beast is quite special. It is born with its own space inside its body. Although it cannot compare to the Internal World of the Golden Horned Behemoth and does not grow, it will exist permanently. It is completely different from the Internal World cultivated by the World Lord.
Therefore, the Boundary Stone Beast has a strong ability to evade, and can hide in its own internal space at any time.
Xu Qing felt that the Clone created by the Boundary Stone Beast could be used as a resurrection anchor point, and he could hide in his own space to cultivate every day, since he didn't have to do anything anyway.
As long as no one can find his Boundary Stone Beast Clone, he will never die, and even if he does, he can be resurrected at a cost.
"Place order," Xu Qing immediately placed an order for the Clone technique and the materials needed to create Clone, spending over 40,000 points in total.
Don't underestimate these 40,000 points; if converted to Universe Coin, they're worth tens of thousands of Hunyuan Unit.
Three days later, the secret technique and materials arrived.
Xu Qing arrived at the training ground and began to create Clone according to the Parent-Child Clone Technique.
"These are the remains of Special Lifeform," Xu Qing said, looking at the three items in front of him: a piece of brown bark the size of a thumb, a piece of gray carapace the size of a thumb, and a piece of colorful skin the size of a thumb.
Creating Clone actually requires the genes of Special Lifeform, so a little is enough.
After Xu Qing had everything prepared, he began to create Clone. First, he dripped his own blood onto the materials, and then he used a secret technique to continuously melt other materials into it.
Then, add the marrow and blood of the Golden Horned Behemoth to forge the Clone Talent from the original life genes.
Finally, it involves continuously infusing life energy and cosmic energy to condense a real body.
This process will take a long time, so Xu Qing needs to wait patiently.
At this point, Luo Feng's first mission had already begun.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
"They're done! They're done! My lovely Clone, my lovely children!" Xu Qing rubbed his hands together, full of anticipation.
This is a real Clone, not some fake Phantom Body.
Finally, as the incubation chamber opened, three figures emerged, all of them Xu Qing, only their hair colors were different: one was light green, one was gray, and one was multicolored.
The three ' Xu Qing ' looked at each other, and could sense each other's presence.
Xu Qing was able to sense the three Clone immediately. The three Clone were the same because they shared a single consciousness, with Xu Qing's main body as the primary focus.
"Your Xiao Lv, your Xiao Hui, and your Xiao Cai," Xu Qing named his three Clone.
The Clone naturally had no objections, since they were all part of Xu Qing anyway, and the names were just for easy reference.
"Xiao Hui, from now on you'll be my resurrection anchor. Just stay in your own space. Cultivate when you want, sleep when you want. Xiao Lv and Xiao Cai will come with me to do big things in the future," Xu Qing arranged.
Xiao Hui said, "You can bring me along. As long as the space isn't sealed off beforehand, no one can threaten me. I can also pull you in if it's crucial."
"Your space can hide people?" Xu Qing asked curiously.
"Yes, although my internal space cannot grow, it is still 100,000 kilometers in radius. After all, the largest Boundary Stone Beast is only tens of thousands of kilometers in size," Xiao Hui explained.
Xu Qing thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense; Xiao Hui could be used as a Space Bracelet.
As for Xiao Lv and Xiao Cai, Xiao Lv Qing planned to use Xiao Cai was an energy life form, just like Luo Feng's Mosha Clan. Therefore, Xu Qing planned to use Xiao Cai specifically for scouting and such.
Because Energy Lifeform forms have no core or soul, and are purely energy, they are easier to regenerate even after death, at a lower cost.
"Okay, then I'll just follow along and be your shadow," Xu Qing agreed.
Ultimately, he uses Clone to save his life; otherwise, he wouldn't really like using Clone and would rather fight himself.
"Xiao Lv, aren't you Star Tree? Why are you green?" Xu Qing stared at the Clone Xiao Lv, somewhat puzzled.
He had seen the illustrations of the Star Tree; it was shimmering with starlight, not green.
"Um... well, I don't think I'm a purebred Star Tree. I'm a hybrid of the Life Tree, and I have some of the Life Tree's genes. The Life Tree's Gene Level is higher than that of the Star Tree, so my Clone appears green," Xiao Lv explained.
Xu Qing was taken aback. Hybridization?
But isn't the Life Tree a subordinate level to the World Tree? Its Life Gene Level is much higher.
In this way, wouldn't Xu Qing have made a huge profit? The Gene Level of the Life Tree is much higher than that of the Star Tree; it is a direct descendant of the World Tree.
In the plant life cycle, the World Tree ranks first, without a doubt, followed by the Ancestral Star Tree.
The Life Tree is a species that differentiated from the World Tree, and it is equally noble. I never expected it to fall into Xu Qing's hands.
"Tsk tsk, then I'll have to nurture you properly. With such a high level of Life Tree Gene Level, your potential will be very strong, and you'll cultivate very quickly. You might even surpass me soon," Xu Qing exclaimed in amazement.
This is certain, because all three Clone are Special Life Clone. Except for Xiao Cai, who is an energy Clone, Xiao Lv and Xiao Hui have higher Gene Level than Human Race.
Especially Xiao Lv, whose Life Tree Gene Level is extremely high, and it has even awakened.
This is equivalent to the bloodline of a human powerhouse, who can reach the Universe Level or Domain Lord upon reaching adulthood.
With such a high Life Tree Gene Level, it's not difficult for an adult to reach the World Lord level, and the same goes for becoming Immortal.
"Alright, from now on, you're my trump card. Focus on your cultivation, don't worry about anything else, and strive to level up as soon as possible to protect me," Xu Qing said happily, patting Xiao Lv on the shoulder.
This isn't just Clone; it's like finding a bodyguard with enormous potential.
Even though they are all at the ninth level of the Universe Level now, Xiao Lv's genetic advantages will soon become apparent.
"No problem. The genes of the Life Tree should not be wasted. Moreover, the Life Tree is a direct descendant of the World Tree and has extremely high talent in space and time. Perhaps with the blessing of the Life Tree's talent, we can catch up with the Origin Law of Time very soon," Xiao Lv said with a smile.
"That would be perfect. I'll feel terrible if I don't catch up with the Origin Law of Time sooner," Xu Qing nodded.
He paused, then added, "You can break through to the Domain Lord level first, so I can experience the process and prepare for my own breakthrough."
"Okay," the three Clone nodded. Clone the Mother-Child Clone Technique, Clone breaks through first, it will not affect the main body.
