Above the sea of clouds, Lin Yu bowed deeply to the void.
The next moment, he no longer hesitated and began chanting the secret technique.
As the light flashed, it enveloped his figure, the space distorted slightly, and the scenery of mountains and rivers quickly faded away.
Once the light stabilized, an intensely rich, almost liquid-like aura of immortal energy swept over us, Guanjiangkou Dojo came into view.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart caused by the sudden enlightenment and breakthrough.
First, he went to the True Lord's Hall, paid his respects to the True Lord, reported on his trip, and outlined the experiments he planned to conduct next.
The True Lord sat upright on the cloud platform. After listening to the report, his gaze lingered on Lin Yu for a moment, as if he could see through the changes within Lin Yu's body.
He nodded slightly, his expression still aloof and indifferent, and uttered only two words: "Acceptable."
But Lin Yu could sense a faint hint of approval hidden in the True Monarch's seemingly calm gaze.
To receive even a single word of approval from the True Lord is already a tremendous affirmation.
"Go down and cultivate on your own. You can come back anytime for the hundred-move challenge." After saying this, the True Lord closed his eyes.
Clearly, the True Lord believed that Lin Yu's cultivation level at this moment was sufficient to hold his own against the Six Sages.
"Yes, thank you, True Lord!" Lin Yu respectfully withdrew from the True Lord's Hall, his heart at ease.
The fact that Zhenjun did not object to his experimental idea meant that he tacitly approved of it.
Upon returning to Cloud Light Cave after several months' absence, Lin Yu immediately began preparations.
He first spent several days thoroughly consolidating the Dao of Creation he had gained from his enlightenment.
He then began the experiment he had conceived long ago.
He took out a small piece of ordinary immortal jade and carefully peeled off a wisp of the essence of the earth containing the aura of Innate Xirang.
He mixed this wisp of essence with the powdered immortal jade, and using his own power of creation as a guide, he began to attempt to create related spells such as the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Arts.
The first few attempts all ended in failure.
Either the materials are unable to withstand the power of creation and collapse, or the sculpted form is merely a shell, devoid of any spirit, like a clay puppet.
Lin Yu remained calm and meticulous, repeatedly refining his approach.
Experiment with different combinations of techniques and constantly ponder how Nüwa created humans in legend.
Humans, standing tall and upright, are no easy beings to create through the Dao of Creation.
It's not just about kneading the clay, but about giving it structure and texture, connecting it with the universe.
Finally, on the thirteenth attempt, when his power of creation was infused with a unique rhythm into the material that combined the essence of the Earth element with the immortal jade, a miracle occurred.
The lump of material seemed to come alive, wriggling on its own and gradually forming a blurry human-shaped outline.
Although its features were blurred and its limbs were crude, Lin Yu could clearly sense a faint trace of life within it!
This is already an embryo.
Lin Yu was greatly encouraged and immediately struck while the iron was hot, continuing to sculpt it with the power of creation.
At the same time, based on the legend of Laojun One Ki Transforms into the Three Pure Ones, he attempted to separate a wisp of his own divine essence.
Carefully integrated into the gradually forming embryo.
This is an extremely delicate and dangerous process. The slightest mistake could damage one's spiritual power or cause the embryonic body to collapse, resulting in the loss of all previous efforts or even backfiring on oneself.
Lin Yu focused intently, immersing himself in the process. Using the power of creation as a bridge, he allowed that wisp of divine thought to take root slowly in the heart of the embryonic body, and begin to merge with it.
After an unknown amount of time, the last wisp of creative power completed the outlining of the embryo's meridians.
The integrated divine thought also stabilized completely, forming a wondrous symbiotic relationship with the embryonic body.
This also signifies the complete success of Lin Yu's experiment.
Lin Yu admired the masterpiece he had created.
The body lying on the stone platform looked exactly like Lin Yu; even Lin Yu, a powerful Immortal Dao, couldn't see the slightest difference.
The only difference is that one is an immortal, and the other is a newly born ordinary person.
The body's eyelids twitched slightly, and then it slowly opened its eyes.
Those were eyes that were extremely similar to Lin Yu's own, yet slightly dull, as pure and bewildered as a newborn baby's.
"Success!" Lin Yu felt an indescribable surge of excitement.
A thought struck him, and he tried to establish a deeper connection with this clone.
In that instant, a strange feeling welled up inside me.
He seemed to have two perspectives at the same time.
One perspective is that of the original self, watching the clone on the stone platform slowly sit up, a clone that bears a striking resemblance to himself.
The other perspective is from the clone's point of view, where they see the original sitting cross-legged opposite them with a smile on their face.
He could clearly perceive everything about his clone: its faint yet steady heartbeat, and its bewildered yet identical divine consciousness.
More importantly, as the main consciousness, he can descend and dominate this clone at any time.
It can also be allowed to act and think autonomously, and whatever the clone sees, hears, thinks, or feels, it can instantly know without any hindrance, as long as it is willing.
After a brief chat test, Lin Yu became even more certain that these clones, although possessing independent action and thinking abilities, were indeed capable of doing so.
But its core consciousness originates entirely from itself, just like the embodiment of one's own thoughts.
There was absolutely no possibility of betrayal; it was all his own doing.
They were all sent out by his divine thoughts.
Once his main body dies, his clone, as an extension of his divine consciousness, will also dissipate.
This is more reliable than any prohibition or contract.
"In this way, it becomes possible to find other innate Five Elements treasures!" Lin Yu's eyes gleamed.
He immediately brought up the long-dormant Chat Group interface, his gaze sweeping over the long, reassuring string of points balance: 10,560,704.
"It's time to use this savings."
Without hesitation, Lin Yu opened the system shop and found the Teleportation Talisman.
Each card costs 1,000 points and can teleport the user to a designated world, but requires the consent of the group members.
He needs a Five Elements Treasure of the same level as the Innate Xirang to solidify his foundation and forge an unparalleled Dao foundation.
This world is hard to find, but there may be opportunities in the myriad realms.
Searching for it alone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The myriad realms are vast and boundless, but now, there are avatars that can be projected into them...
Lin Yu looked at the group members, counted the number of people, and realized that he needed to create a few more.
With the experience gained the first time, the subsequent clones became much easier to use.
A short while later, eleven more clones appeared.
Including the original one, there were a total of twelve clones, standing before Lin Yu's main body like twelve twins. Their eyes quickly changed from initial confusion to clarity and alertness, although their auras were weak.
"You all know our mission, right?" Lin Yu (Clone 1)
The clone that Lin Yu initially created stepped forward and looked at its new kin, asking a question.
"We know," the other eleven answered in unison.
"Everyone, look for your own opportunities. If you find anything, contact me immediately." Lin Yu (in his true form) surveyed the group like a leader.
He then opened the Chat Group shop. Originally, Lin Yu wanted to directly buy their ten-year Teleportation Talisman.
After clicking to purchase, he was surprised to find that he didn't have enough points!
He looked at the more than ten million yuan lying in his account and silently did some calculations.
It turns out that it's definitely not enough. Twelve people would need fourteen million over ten years, which is far from sufficient.
There was no other way, so Lin Yu could only shorten the time frame and buy about eight years' worth of points, which quickly depleted his entire points pool.
Actually, he wanted to play it safe and renew when the contract expired, but he was also afraid that if these people accidentally entered some secret realm, he wouldn't have time to renew and would have to teleport them back.
That would be a loss, so why not just go all in? Going all in is a kind of wisdom.
