Chapter 482: Great Void Spirit Offering Method Avatar

Beneath the Sun God Tree, the essence of the Great Sun and the spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged in like a tide, then slowly receded.

Under the tree,

Jiang Ding opened his eyes, ending this three-month cultivation session.

He gazed inward at his dantian for a moment.

"My magic power has increased a bit again. This kind of cultivation is a matter of perseverance, of water dripping through stone."

After watching for a while, Jiang Ding shifted his gaze to his mobile phone's email inbox, where a huge pile of documents was densely stacked.

'《Selection of Site for Xiandou Sword Dojo, Leasing Matters》', '《List of Renowned Cold-Weapon Instructors for Xiandou Training Institution》', '《List of Newly Hired Employees at the Sword Dojo Headquarters》'...

A huge batch of emails, covering every aspect of the Sword Dojo.

Wei Hu was a veteran in the industry.

He deeply understood the principle that actions leave traces; otherwise, many things that were originally clean would become unclear once they couldn't be explained, and innocence would no longer be clear.

Regardless of whether the superiors read them, the materials had to be produced.

"Three months have passed; it seems many things have happened."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

His divine sense surged into the emails, briefly flipping through them, and by comparing them with the report from the financial director Liu Liu Caihua, he gained some understanding of the Sword Dojo's current situation.

For the time being, these should be trustworthy.

Then, every year, hiring a professional third-party audit team to supervise and investigate would be sufficient.

"The first batch of over fifty sword instructors recruited has taken their positions; they need training, and each training session will likely take at least half a year."

"These people are called renowned instructors mainly because they teach well, but their own aptitude and comprehension are not particularly outstanding; one session is half a year... I cannot waste my time on such matters."

"As for hiring, there are none; the Immortal Sects have no Foundation Establishment cultivators with a very solid foundation in sword arts."

Jiang Ding pondered silently.

"I should apply for a teaching avatar."

Just like instructors such as Luling Master Dinghai Zhenjun and Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun, they all possess avatars; actually, it is not about cultivating some extraordinary secret technique, there is no such thing.

Avatars, especially those capable of independent thought, are first encountered at the Nascent Soul stage; they are mostly second Nascent Souls, flesh-and-blood spirit fruits, and the like, all requiring top-tier heavenly treasures and secret techniques to refine, belonging only to a few.

Like the one possessed by Hua Dong Xue and Bai Gui, which crudely split off a small portion of the soul to reside in the body of a Qi Condensation cultivator two realms below; this is not called an avatar, it can only be called a flesh puppet.

Not only can it not last long, otherwise the split soul would dissolve into the flesh and blood dwelling, but once damaged, it would also cause a loss of the soul, potentially stalling one's realm forever, making it a losing bargain.

The Immortal Sects, however, have developed a highly efficient avatar, named the "Great Void Spirit Offering Method".

It only requires refining with divine sense, leaving a divine sense imprint, to completely control a lower-rank avatar, which can also think independently and perform mechanical tasks requiring little creativity, such as calculation, teaching, and administrative management.

The only drawback is that it can only be used within the Immortal Sects.

Certain key principles of the "Great Void Spirit Offering Method" require the assistance of the Great Void Illusion Realm; without these conditions, it cannot be used outside the Immortal Sects.

Even so, this is a great breakthrough, freeing cultivators from many trivial matters.

Jiang Ding sent his divine sense into the network, found the official website of the Great Void Illusion Realm, located the avatar application section, filled in his name, ID number, requirements, and other data, and clicked apply.

"Ding!"

"You are applying for a Great Void Illusion Realm avatar."

"This action will permanently occupy the computing power of the Great Void Illusion Realm; it requires the Nascent Soul realm, corresponding merit points, the title of Immortal Sect Professor, or a similar position; approval of usage requirements is needed... verifying your permissions..."

The voice of the Array Spirit sounded.

Jiang Ding remained calm and composed, not worried about these things.

Within the Immortal Sects, as long as his abilities met the usage standards, he generally did not need to worry about permission issues.

Although he was still a student and held no position.

"Permissions approved."

"You are applying for a Jin Dan peak-level avatar, number Jin-qs431; a material fee of 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones is required, of which eighty percent must consist of third-tier heavenly treasures."

"Pay."

Jiang Ding wasted no words and directly transferred the funds from his bank account.

This price was not expensive; it was truly just the cost of hardware materials and labor, with not a single bit of excess.

A mere 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones could purchase a Jin Dan peak-level avatar; no one would dare to believe this upon hearing it.

It was too cheap, no different from a welfare benefit.

Although after losing the Three Kingdoms Cultivation World, he had no source of income, and 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones seemed like quite a lot...

But it didn't matter; Mu Mu Tianxue was a very good person, and the treasure bag she possessed contained wealth of hundreds of millions of low-grade spirit stones, enough to last for many years, so he wouldn't be without rice to cook before the loan was approved.

"Payment successful."

"Dispatching for you now..."

Before him, the space grew hazy, and a silver-white box appeared, entirely metallic in appearance, the size of a coffin, landing steadily.

"Delivered personally by the Central Array Spirit Computer... this thing seems very important."

Jiang Ding was startled.

Recalling carefully, the weight of the phrase "this action will occupy the computing power of the Great Void Illusion Realm" was quite high; it was very important to the Immortal Sects.

"Please note."

"This avatar possesses a certain degree of creativity, comparable to a Jin Dan cultivator with excellent comprehension; it can be used to Tui Yan Gong Fa, cultivate spells, participate in research and development, etc. It must not be taken out of the mother star, nor traded to cultivators from outside the realm."

The voice of the Array Spirit appeared again, with a tone of warning.

"Understood."

Jiang Ding took a deep breath, his expression solemn, and said gravely.

Upon hearing this, he immediately realized he had been mistaken.

This was not a puppet or something to handle trivial matters, but a cultivation accelerator belonging exclusively to Immortal Sect cultivators!

One of the benefits of a professor position at the Immortal Gate, a manifestation of the Immortal Gate's heritage.

The silver-white coffin slowly flew to the front.

Jiang Ding opened it with his authority.

Buzz!

The lid opened outward, revealing a human figure within.

Smooth skin, hairless all over, no face, no palm lines, no mouth, nose, eyes, ears, or limbs; it looked like a human embryo halfway through development.

"Acknowledge master, grow and differentiate again..."

Jiang Ding flipped out the instruction manual, studied it carefully for a long time, then stretched his fingers to the faceless one's head.

A drop of fresh blood dripped into the center of the brow.

The instant the blood dropped, the faceless one triggered a growth switch; its skin danced wildly, swaying like waves, small bumps protruded from the four corners of its body, rapidly enlarged, and grew arms, legs, palms, and so on.

Immediately after, eyes, nose, hair, and such things also grew out.

In the blink of an eye, a handsome youth appeared inside the silver-white coffin.

He opened his eyes; the pupils were equally brilliant as stars.

Just one glance at each other,

and two perspectives differentiated before Jiang Ding's eyes: in one perspective, his own body was naked; in the other, he wore a green Dao robe, with the Sun God Wood standing tall behind him.

Both perspectives, thoughts and ideas, could instantly appear in his mind.

"How magical..."

Jiang Ding exclaimed.

He tried sending the Tier-3 supreme evasion technique "Magnetic Void Flash" into the clone's divine soul to let it deduce it.

The clone instantly became dazed, its eyes no longer sharp.

After a short while, points of magical essence floated up in Jiang Ding's mind; it would think occasionally, correct one or two points, then return to thinking.

"Efficiency... roughly one-sixth of mine."

Jiang Ding was stunned.

He had to know that his current divine soul was five times that of his peer realm, comparable to a Nascent Soul, yet this fellow was only at the peak of Jin Dan, and could still achieve one-sixth of his efficiency in comprehending techniques; it was simply heaven-defying.

Moreover, what was even more critical was that this clone did not need to cultivate, did not need to do anything else, and could comprehend techniques around the clock.

"Switch to 'Magnetic Concealment Technique'."

"It works the same!"

"It truly is the heritage of a Domain Overlord; compared to cultivators of small realms, it's practically like having a cheat."

Jiang Ding sighed in admiration, his joy deepening, and then put some sword techniques from the Great Sun Sword Pavilion that he was currently comprehending into it.

"Uh, no good."

"It gets stuck frequently; the efficiency is less than one percent."

"Specialization is different."
