The Golden Horned Beast's Innate Secret Technique, " Clone," is essentially a second body, not just a simple puppet. Clone is formed within the Golden Horned Beast's " Internal World," much like a woman giving birth; a completely new life is created within the Golden Horned Beast's inner world.
Similar to pregnancy, the Clone also needs to grow gradually from an embryo in the Internal World, step by step until it is fully grown. However, the growth rate of the clone is faster than that of the original body.
The Golden Horned Beast can use a maximum of three Clone in its lifetime: one at the Planetary Level, one at the Universe Level, and a third at the World Lord Level.
Moreover, the Clone that are conceived share the same mindset as the original body, yet can act independently, much like two people with identical thoughts but completely separate behaviors. Such Clone are indeed far more sophisticated than puppets.
Moreover, Clone can cultivate independently, so without a doubt, the first Clone created is the most important and takes the longest to cultivate.
Therefore, the lineage chosen is equally important.
The Clone of the Golden Horned Beast are usually chosen from beings with excellent bloodlines, such as the bloodlines of the strongest human race, the Manka Star People, or even the Demon Race, or the bloodlines of other Starry Sky Behemoth. The conditions required for the embryo to develop are very low; a single hair or a drop of blood is sufficient, as long as it contains genetic material.
" Planetary Level is capable of giving birth to its first Clone, but the original Golden Horned Beast did not. Perhaps it felt that the bloodlines of creatures on Earth were too inferior and not worth wasting its chance on.
I've already decided; my first body will be conceived using the genetic material from my original body.
" Luo Feng, have you thought this through? The first Clone is the most important. Earthling have such low Gene Grade; it's a complete waste of this opportunity," Babata advised.
"No, the first one must be my original body. Only at the Universe Level can a second body be conceived, but if I cultivate normally, even at the Golden Horned Beast's cultivation speed, it would take a hundred years. During those hundred years, am I not supposed to appear before my family?"
Or perhaps he would appear before his family in the form of Golden Horned Beast? Luo Feng couldn't imagine what his family's expressions would be when they saw him transformed into the Golden Horned Beast.
More importantly, he couldn't make Xu Xin wait for him for hundreds of years.
"If any life form with Gene Level no higher than that of the Golden Horned Beast can be conceived, Luo Feng, can you use your first slot to conceive another Golden Horned Beast?" Thunder God touched his bald head, pondered for a moment, and asked.
When this question was posed, everyone looked at Thunder God as if they had discovered a new continent.
"To give birth to another Golden Horned Beast?" Babata stared wide-eyed at Luo Feng in disbelief.
Using Clone to nurture a new Golden Horned Beast? You must know that the Clone nurtured by the Golden Horned Beast can master the original owner's Innate Secret Technique, just like the Nether Sea Clone Luo Feng might create in the future, which can master the two Innate Secret Technique of ' Sea Transformation ' and 'Creation'.
Essentially, the Golden Horned Beast's own Gene Level is not higher than his own.
If it were truly possible to conceive, wouldn't that mean we could endlessly nest dolls?
Using one Clone slot to create a Golden Horned Beast, you then have three more Clone slots. This operation is practically unsolvable, like exploiting a bug in Innate Secret Technique.
Unfortunately, the Universe Origin wouldn't allow such a heaven-defying thing to exist.
"No, this is recorded in the inherited memories. The Golden Horned Beast tried it several times, but ultimately failed," Luo Feng said, shaking his head regretfully.
Thunder God's imagination is truly boundless, and it turns out other Golden Horned Beast Golden Horned Beast have indeed considered this problem. Clearly, their predecessors had also tried an infinite nesting of ideas, but failed, and even passed this experience down as an important part of their racial heritage, to prevent future Golden Horned Beast from having the same wild idea and wasting time and resources trying again.
It's a pity, but it's normal. The Golden Horned Beast is already a top-tier race in the universe. If it could still produce such unlimited Clone, then there would be no room for other life forms in the universe to survive.
However, after hearing the description of the Golden Horned Beast's Clone, something came to Zhang Junbao's mind.
The highest secret technique of Daoism: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!
They are all three Clone, each capable of independent cultivation and possessing the same thought process.
Although Zhang Junbao is human, he is arguably the person on Earth who has studied Daoism, an ancient civilization, the most deeply. It is precisely because of this that, after hearing Luo Feng's description of the Golden Horned Beast's Clone, he recalled the Daoist secret technique of "One Qi Transforms into Three Purities " passed down orally.
According to legend, Taishang Laojun) transformed into the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, namely Shangqing, Yuqing, and Taiqing, representing the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. (From Investiture of the Gods *, no need to argue, it's a reliable source!)
Since there are secret techniques in the universe, such as the Golden Horned Beast that can create three Clone, does the Dao of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities also truly exist?
By the time the Daoist arts were passed down to Zhang Junbao, many of the legendary divine techniques from ancient times had disappeared, leaving only some secret martial arts methods and legends about ancient Daoist arts.
As for the methods of cultivation, they have long since disappeared into the annals of history.
Therefore, Zhang Junbao did not know whether this legendary Daoist secret method really existed, or whether it was just a beautiful vision of the ancients.
Regardless, Zhang Junbao had witnessed the Golden Horned Beast's Innate Secret Technique today, and he was even more curious about what kind of secret runes could grant the Golden Horned Beast the Innate Secret Technique of creating Clone.
It would be great if we could dissect the Golden Horned Beast and study it carefully.
Luo Feng, who was standing to the side, suddenly noticed that Zhang Junbao's gaze seemed a bit off. It was the kind of burning gaze one would give to an experimental subject, which made Luo Feng feel uneasy.
" Luo Feng, could you please make a copy of the secret technique regarding the Golden Horned Beast?" Zhang Junbao asked.
"Of course, the Golden Horned Beast was originally given to me by you, Junbao. If it weren't for you, how could I have obtained such an opportunity?"
"I'll have Babata organize them for you later, but the number of these inheritances is enormous." Luo Feng agreed immediately without hesitation.
Zhang Junbao passed on the opportunity of the Golden Horned Beast to him, and even now Luo Feng still marvels at the Golden Horned Beast's powerful inheritance and unparalleled talent.
Therefore, Luo Feng did not hesitate to share the inheritance information of the Golden Horned Beast with Zhang Junbao.
" Luo Feng, I hope to be able to record the entire gestation process, especially the part about the secret techniques. It would be even better if I could enter your Internal World to observe the entire gestation process," Zhang Junbao made his request.
"It's possible to record it, but it's probably not possible to enter the Internal World to observe it. No living being can survive in the Internal World of the Golden Horned Beast before the World Lord Level. Only its own Clone can enter it without being killed. Any other life forms that enter will be killed by the Devouring Secret Technique immediately."
I don't know if Junbao can withstand the attack of the Devouring Secret Technique, so..."
Luo Feng explained.
"I understand. Living things cannot be stored here, but some instruments and devices can. Then I can only Babata to help me record the entire gestation process. Its intelligent Clone is not considered life, so it should be able to enter the Internal World, right?"
"That's right, the intelligent Clone can enter." Luo Feng nodded and said.
The Internal World of the Golden Horned Beast can be used as a storage space, and some instruments and devices are no exception.
"Don't worry, leave it to me. I won't miss such an important moment as the development of the Clone. I guarantee I'll record every single detail clearly and without any blind spots," Babata assured him, patting his chest.
"Good, Babata, the task of recording the gestation process is now yours. Remember, focus on recording the secret runes generated during the birth of the Clone," Zhang Junbao instructed.
"I understand," Babata said. It also knew that Zhang Junbao was studying the secret runes. If the secret runes really existed, such an important process as the Golden Horned Beast's creation of its Clone would indeed be extremely valuable research material.
" Luo Feng, creating Clone only requires a single hair from your original body," Babata said.
"Alright, I'm going to start the process now!" Luo Feng's expression was serious. His first Clone was related to his future happiness, and there couldn't be the slightest mistake. If it was too small, he would have nowhere to cry. So Luo Feng was extremely serious.
"A 'talented Clone ' is born!"
With a thought, Luo Feng's entire Internal World trembled. Luo Feng past body seemed to be supported by an invisible force, suspending in the air.
"Sizzle"
Luo Feng's body, which was suspended high in the sky, instantly vaporized. At this moment, a large number of secret patterns appeared in the Internal World of the Golden Horned Beast, as if the whole world had come to life.
Countless golden mists rushed towards the center, tightly enveloping Luo Feng's original genetic material. In just a moment, it transformed into an oval-shaped golden egg.
After the golden egg was formed, Luo Feng naturally gained some information about his Clone.
"Now we can only wait for it to slowly develop. It will take about a year to develop into a life form with the exact same strength as my original body, and with 99,999,999 identical genes."
Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Throughout this process, Zhang Junbao meticulously studied the secret patterns within the Golden Horned Beast's body and compiled them one by one.
These intricate patterns are complex and interconnected, making their analysis a massive undertaking.
But the more this was the case, the more certain Zhang Junbao became of the terrifying power of the secret runes. Even the Golden Horned Beast's Innate Secret Technique relied on secret runes for its advancement. Did that mean that if he thoroughly analyzed these runes, he could master the same Innate Secret Technique as the Golden Horned Beast and create Clone?
Seeing that Luo Feng's Innate Secret Technique had successfully entered the First Order, Thunder God and Hong breathed a sigh of relief. Although they couldn't offer much help, witnessing the Golden Horned Beast nurturing its Clone was enough to be awe-inspiring.
"Does this mean that Luo Feng is the first of the four of us to get pregnant?" Thunder God asked curiously.
" Thunder God, I'm creating Clone, not getting pregnant!" Luo Feng protested.
The Golden Horned Beast giving birth to Clone is an extremely rare spectacle in the universe. How did it become such an absurd thing in Thunder God's mouth?
But you know what? The feeling of carrying an egg in his belly, and it being himself, gave Luo Feng the illusion that he was actually pregnant.
Damn it, I've been led astray by Thunder God!
This is a sacred and incomparably divine Clone a clone, not pregnancy! Luo Feng secretly confirmed this in his heart!
" Thunder God, it's been a while since we've sparred. I've finally completely mastered the Golden Horned Beast's body and need to get used to it. How about you spar with me for a bit?"
The colossal Golden Horned Beast Luo Feng stood up, its golden eyes fixed on Thunder God with ill intent. Previously, Luo Feng was Planetary Level, Thunder God was Star Level; in every battle, Luo Feng was utterly humiliated.
Now that he has control of the Golden Horned Beast's body, he can find Thunder God to be his sparring partner.
Luo Feng will absolutely not admit that this was revenge!
"Well, I think we should probably forget it. You're pregnant; it wouldn't be good if it upset the baby," Thunder God grin, looking at the Golden Horned Beast's belly, seemingly oblivious to the danger.
This amused and angered Luo Feng. Thunder God death was truly impressive!
"I think it's a good idea. Luo Feng has just mastered the body of the Golden Horned Beast and does need some time to adapt. Finding an evenly matched opponent is the most suitable option," Zhang Junbao nodded and said seriously.
"I think that's a good idea, Thunder God. You need to work hard. This is the best time for you to prove your authority as the Third Senior Brother while Luo Feng is still not fully familiar with the Golden Horned Beast. Once Luo Feng completely mastered the Golden Horned Beast's body, it won't be so easy to deal with!"
Besides, the body that Luo Feng is nurturing is inside its Internal World, not inside its belly; there's a whole other world between them, so how could it be so easily damaged!
Hong patted Thunder God on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look. Then he went to Zhang Junbao's side and they sat down to watch the show.
" Brother Hong, you guys..."
Thunder God noticed that Hong, Zhang Junbao, and Babata had all brought out small stools and were sitting far away, looking like they were waiting to watch the drama unfold.
"Come on, Third Senior Brother, I've missed you so much!" Luo Feng said through gritted teeth.
The Golden Horned Beast roared, and then its massive hooves slammed towards Thunder God.
"Holy crap, someone's going to die!"
Thunder God quickly activated his domain, barely dodging the attack.
