Cloning, the cultivation technique's third transformation, Manifest Yang
Inside the bathtub in the bathroom, a large mass of extremely pure spiritual blood was preserved.
Fortunately, he was experienced. The blood had been purified by the Supreme Yang array, completely removing the life imprint and leaving only pure spiritual blood that was half energy and half matter.
The first step is the infiltration of essence and blood.
He guided a drop of essence blood from his heart out of his body. This essence blood was even purer than spiritual blood, with extremely high Spirituality. It was the essence of Blood Qi Dao cultivator's cultivation.
Even for Blood Qi cultivator, losing even one point is a significant loss.
Li Fan's complexion was initially noticeably paler, but it quickly regained its rosy hue as his blood circulated.
He formed a peculiar hand seal, gradually manipulating his Blood Qi to inscribe magical runes within his essence and blood, beginning to precisely establish a deeper connection.
It seemed that with a thought, his essence and blood would move according to his commands, confirming that he had completed control.
Only then did he drip his essence blood into the spiritual blood.
Thump!
As the essence blood entered the spiritual blood, it almost instinctively began to devour everything around it, and its size grew larger and larger. Except for that drop of original essence blood, the rest of the spiritual blood began to transform into blood that belonged to Li Fan's unique life imprint.
Once the transformation was complete, he also felt that the blood was under his control.
At this time, the Blood Qi continued to inscribe various magical runes on the other two spiritual objects [Spirituality Crystal] and [Pure Soul Stone].
As the Blood Qi seeped in, the two spiritual substances began to melt uncontrollably, turning into liquid and merging together, before being perfectly infused into the blood in the bathtub.
At this moment, all the Blood Qi in his body, which was not afraid of being consumed, was poured into the bathtub, completing the final transformation.
Blood, the volume of a human body, rapidly differentiates into various cells and organs.
Three hours later, a brand new clone was born.
Of course, this is not the complete version.
This clone looks like a clone now, but it's actually just a puppet controlled by his blood.
Li Fan controlled his clone to step out of the bathtub and sit opposite him, a wisp of Spirit Qi emanating from his body and entering the Spirituality of the soul that was forming.
This is where all the previous preparations come into play. The soul and Spirituality are shaped by [Spirituality crystals] and [pure soul stones], and are actually very different in essence from the naturally born Spirituality and soul.
But with this wisp of Spirit Qi injected, it quickly came into control of everything.
Li Fan also used the Spirit Qi to begin allowing his consciousness to flow between the two.
The sudden shift between the two perspectives made him instinctively feel nauseous.
But now is the crucial moment, and he cannot back down. He gritted his teeth and kept shifting his consciousness between the two perspectives, allowing his consciousness to adapt to both viewpoints and coexist in both bodies.
Until a certain moment, he achieved the ability to multitask consciously.
He simultaneously controlled two bodies without any hindrance. Of course, his main focus was on the main body, while the clone began to set up various abilities, allowing the soul and Spirituality to record them and make them the body's instincts.
Exhausted, I collapsed to the ground, rolled over, picked up the clothes prepared beside me, put them on, and began to cultivate while seated.
This body is also capable of cultivation, but due to various limitations of the soul and body, it is definitely impossible to break through to the Dao Foundation.
There are too many flaws; even a slight difference makes a world of difference.
But it's enough for him at the Qi Refining level.
This body progressed much faster in cultivation, reaching the First Layer of Qi Refining in no time.
The [Blood Body Division Technique] also possesses a terrifying ability: in critical moments, it can burn its clones to provide a continuous supply of Blood Qi energy, suddenly unleashing power surpassing its own.
However, it disappears once it's used up; the cost is high, but its life-saving ability is excellent.
The next day, Li Fan took this clone to the school's academic affairs office to complete the certification.
Certifications such as clones or Avatar are mandatory and written into the school rules. Unless you don't bring your clone or Avatar to school, you must let the school know.
Li Fan could understand, after all, the danger of unauthorized personnel entering and leaving the school was quite significant, and he was also afraid that if the school's bigwigs discovered this, they would slap this clone away, leaving him with nowhere to turn for help.
So when he saw that the school had this regulation, he decisively brought it with him for certification.
The head of the teaching department looked at the blood-path clone with amazement, then turned to look at Li Fan with admiration in his eyes.
"Li Fan, it's good that you followed the school rules to authenticate your clone."
"In previous years, some students thought that using clones was discreet and could help them with many inconvenient tasks. But little did they know that in the eyes of Dao Foundation cultivator, you little guys have absolutely no secrets."
"If you don't bring your clones or Avatar into the school, everyone will turn a blind eye. But if you bring them in and don't report and verify them after a few days, you'll be severely punished at the very least, and in severe cases, expelled from school. If you can't graduate, you'll only be able to become a rogue cultivator, one of the most dangerous professions."
Upon hearing this, Li Fan felt a chill run down his spine, secretly congratulating himself on making the right decision.
"From what I understand, the human civilization in this world has developed to such a flourishing degree through the Purple Gold Demonic Dao. Moreover, it has achieved the distribution of ordinary materials on demand, universal interstellar higher education, widespread access to extraordinary education, and unified management of a star field spanning thousands of light-years. Its integrated and coordinated capabilities are nothing short of terrifying."
"My best choice is to stay honest, remain a good federal citizen, contribute what I can, cultivate myself properly, and not stray onto any evil or crooked paths."
These are his observations and feelings over the past six months. Regardless of the path of cultivation, at least everyone is living a pretty easy life.
Aside from wanting to climb to higher levels and secure more resources, which they're willing to fight tooth and nail for, there's nothing else to it.
He agreed with the headmaster's words and was also amazed by the power of the Dao Foundation cultivators in this world.
"Director, I have always been a law-abiding student. Even when I cultivate the Blood Qi Dao, I use the Blood Qi of demonic beasts."
The head of the teaching department nodded in agreement.
"That's right, that's exactly how it should be. Our Federation has nearly a hundred light-years of Demonic Beast Star Domain, as well as numerous breeding farms of all sizes, which is more than enough for your consumption."
"Alright, your clone identity has been successfully verified. This clone of you can move freely within the school, but remember to abide by the laws and school rules."
Chen Fan left with his clone, then checked his Qi Destiny status one last time.
[Qi Destiny: Zero-order lower grade white]
[Number of performances: 0]
Its Qi Destiny flickers faintly, showing a tendency to rise.
"It seems that once word gets out about my bloodline clone at school, my Qi Destiny will rise even higher."
This made him feel that being famous was still a good thing. He had worked hard for two months to fight monsters and raise his Qi Destiny to the upper level, and it had only been a short time before it started to rise again.
"Yes, I'll go back and focus on cultivating the second level of the technique to improve my comprehension as soon as possible. That way, I can make a name for myself in the various school competitions and reap some Qi Destiny."
Two weeks later, he underwent another reversal.
Besides the enhancement of material and intellectual properties, the most crucial change in this rebirth was that the Blood Qi gained form.
This is the third change in [Innate Embryonic Reversion Spirit Extraction and Blood Refining Art 2.0]: Blood Refining True Form.
The so-called true form can be categorized as the imagery of heaven and earth, and this true form of Blood Qi possesses the same profound mystery.
Of course, this time his attempt at reversing the tire was just a preliminary step; he was still a long way from truly mastering it.
When Li Fan released his Blood Qi, he saw a towering figure appear behind him, whose form bore a 60% resemblance to his own.
"The true form feels somewhat like Dharma Manifestation or something similar, yet it also possesses a certain charm of True Intent meaning."
He turned his head and looked at the true form. He felt that the Blood Qi was more condensed and the control over it was becoming stronger.
"According to the cultivation method, one can comprehend the true form on their own, or draw upon other images, or the power of extremely strong individuals."
"There's a saying on Earth from my past life: 'Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die.' Borrowing from others is ultimately not as effective as self-realization. Although powerful, it can unknowingly limit future development."
So what should I choose?
Li Fan looked around but didn't notice anything unusual. He then walked out of the garden and looked out over the entire world.
Suddenly, he stared intently at the Supreme Yang high in the sky, not even blinking for half an hour, until his eyes started to hurt, at which point he closed them.
After a long while, he raised his hand and a wisp of blood energy bloomed, flowing with warmth, seemingly containing some profound truth.
That's right, he has just comprehended a principle, not the principle of Blood Qi Dao, but rather the principle of the Supreme Yang.
Its name is [Manifest Yang Principle].
This principle is like the Supreme Yang illuminating everything, manifesting in the world, and dispelling darkness and evil.
At this moment, he gazed at the faint light within the Blood Qi with a complex expression.
"Sigh, if only I had this talent when I first started cultivating. I could have directly become the most noble and powerful Supreme Yang cultivator, and wouldn't have had to go through so many hardships."
Of course, he knew this was impossible; without the Innate Dao Deduction advancement, he could never comprehend the [Manifest Yang Principle].
If he still had the same talent as before he started cultivating, he probably wouldn't even have been able to get started, let alone reach his current level.
He quickly walked back to his own cultivation room.
Blood Qi boiled, and true form manifested.
The towering figure crumbled under his control, and then the endless light and heat within his blood energy began to combine, transforming into a blood-red Supreme Yang.
"Blood Yang True Form!"
A pale red glow appeared on both sides of the Blood Yang True Form, further highlighting its extraordinary nature.
After a moment of observation, Li Fan understood the function of the True Form: to dispel impurities and purify Blood Qi.
It wasn't proactive, but reactive.
Actively driven, it can maximize the power of [Manifest Yang Principle], making shadows visible and evil spirits retreat.
"As expected, talent understands me; it knows I like to be passive."
With this Blood Yang True Form in his body, it's almost like a fully automatic refining machine. It's unimaginable how powerful his Blood Qi will be in the future.
