Chapter 462

Wanhe Demon Kingdom, Xiulin Realm Star.

The Xiulin Realm Star is located in the hinterland of the Demon race's territory, yet it maintains the lifestyle of the human race, with 90% being pure humans.

In the center of the Realm Star stands a large tree with palaces hanging from its trunk, and a layer of soil spread over the leaves, planted with rows of plants; many arrangements are no different from the Primordial Realm.

On a city tower very similar to Taixu City, a young man in white robes stands sideways under the waning moon, holding a wine jar in one hand, looking at the sky with grief in his eyes.

Jinyan, Zuo Qiyu's former disciple, a former member of the Coral Nine-Tier, and also a Si Nong of the Extreme Mother Tree school.

Jinyan once made great contributions to the Empire, and his prominence was once unmatched, but now there is no record of him in the Empire's history, and he has transformed into a guest minister of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom.

"Teacher, you can give way to Zhao Xing, why couldn't you give way to me back then?" Jinyan muttered to himself.

"Back then, it was you who made me cultivate the Taichu clone, you who made me experience the pain of splitting ten thousand times, and it was also because of you that I can only survive in the Demon territory, hiding in the shadows... Why now again—"

"Because you are too weak! Just like him!" Just then, a long sword pierced Jinyan on the city wall.

A red shadow appeared behind him; his eyes swept across the sky like a newly quenched broken blade, freezing even the sound of the wind into ice shards as they fell to the ground. His appearance was exactly the same as Jinyan's, but his temperament was completely different.

"Pfft." Red-armored Jinyan killed the white-robed Jinyan and then absorbed him, his aura seeming to grow a bit stronger.

Thump! Looking at the remains on the ground, Jinyan indifferently trampled them to pieces: "Zuo Qiyu, Zhao Xing, you all must die!"

Turning back, countless 'Jinyans' in the city had already fallen in pools of blood.

Only a few remained, still struggling to survive, crawling on the ground.

Red-armored Jinyan reached out and pointed, and the remaining clones were also killed, and every time a clone died, Red-armored Jinyan's aura grew stronger.

When Zhao Xing suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, he began to quickly sort out what he had learned.

After mastering the Taichu Grassman Technique, he possessed four abilities.

First is 【Dao Control】. The original Taixu Grassman Technique repelled any Grassman body within a certain range, making others' Grassman Techniques ineffective, which is why when Zhao Xing mastered it back then, many people's Grassmen in the Primordial Realm collapsed.

The Taichu Grassman Technique, on this basis, adds control ability.

Within a certain range, any Grassman body can be controlled by Zhao Xing.

And he doesn't need soul invasion to control it remotely; this is an ability that naturally arises after the Taichu Grassman Technique is mastered, which can be called a 'Great Dao Divine Ability.'

Second is 【Taichu Dharma Body】. The template for the Taichu Grassman Technique is the Void Ancestor. Although the Void Ancestor was a Qi-cultivating martial artist, the Taichu Grassman belongs to the Dharma Body of spells.

The Taichu Dharma Body naturally gives birth to 【Taichu Magic Power】, which possesses strong void-traversing capabilities, because the Void Ancestor himself was born in the void!

Because of this, the Taichu Dharma Body finds it very simple to cultivate space spells, and the power is also much greater.

Assuming the Taichu Grassman is crafted with specific Void Ancestor series materials, it will also possess the defensive power of a Golden Body.

However, Zhao Xing doesn't have 'Void Ancestor materials' with him right now; using ordinary materials, the power is greatly discounted.

Third is 【Distance-less Teleportation】.

The Dharma Body and the true body can teleport to each other.

The true body's soul body and the Taichu soul can also displace each other, or recover the soul body.

With the Taixu Grassman Technique, Zhao Xing's true body and clone soul needed to be close to each other, with the soul leaving the body.

However, with the Taichu Grassman Technique, with a single thought, the true body can take the clone soul back!

It can be sensed from any distance, and the teleportation of the soul is completed instantly, while the teleportation of the true body and clone is slightly slower; the point is that the distance is extremely exaggerated.

"If there are no obstructions, I can almost instantly span a galaxy. Assuming I have clones as teleportation points in all thirty-six top-tier galaxies of the Empire, it wouldn't be difficult for me to travel across the Empire's vast territory in a day."

"The soul has no distance limit! It can be recovered with a single thought!"

"No wonder Zuo Qiyu is always elusive, appearing everywhere." Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, the only drawback of Distance-less Teleportation is that it cannot carry people.

And the birth of the fourth ability also means that Zhao Xing will encounter setbacks in recovering his soul.

This involves the fourth ability————【Soul Tearing】.

It is a passive ability.

Mastering the Taichu clone technique for the first time will complete one tearing, splitting the soul into two, independent of each other, without affecting each other.

The more times it is torn, and the more clones controlled, the combat power will also be significantly enhanced.

Because they are independent, when the clone soul body also becomes stronger, various thoughts will arise, and there will be countless voices in one brain.

With more voices, opinions may not be unified.

Recovering the clone soul with a single thought will encounter resistance!

Therefore, to avoid this situation, the Taichu clone and the true body cannot be too far apart or for too long, so as not to become too 'strange' to each other.

Because they are independent, highly toxic substances like the True Spirit Heavenly Poison are not a problem at all for the Taichu clone; just discard the poisoned part and cut off the tail to escape!

However, in Zhao Xing's understanding, soul tearing should be a drawback, not an ability.

Assuming it's only to increase the survival rate, the Taichu clone spell is not much higher-level than the Taixu clone.

Because the Taichu clone is not absolutely unkillable; exceeding the critical value, for example, with a causal divine object, one can still achieve the goal of killing one to destroy all.

Based on this point, the Great Tearing is unnecessary.

"Hmm? Soul Great Tearing, increasing the number of clones, enhancing combat power, and improving life-saving ability is secondary; the ultimate goal is to use it to cross the True Spirit Tribulation?" Continuing to sort it out, Zhao Xing was shocked.

"After becoming a Reincarnation Realm practitioner, one will sooner or later encounter the True Spirit Tribulation. Assuming one is not confident in crossing it, one can use the Taichu Dharma Body + part of the True Spirit to bear the tribulation."

"At the cost of losing one Dharma Body and part of the True Spirit, one can avoid the True Spirit Tribulation."

"Assuming one can cross it, due to the independence of the Taichu clone, after the tribulation is successful, the True Spirit will be strengthened."

"At this time, using Distance-less Teleportation to recover the True Spirit with a single thought, the True Spirit will be a thousand or ten thousand times stronger than others!"

"The ultimate goal is actually this?"

Zhao Xing imagined: assuming he split a thousand Taichu clones during his first tribulation in the Reincarnation Realm, each Taichu clone would suffer the True Spirit Tribulation, then after the clones crossed the True Spirit Tribulation, the True Spirit would be further strengthened.

Assuming the reward for all Reincarnation Realm practitioners after crossing the True Spirit Tribulation is the same, all being 1.

Recovering them all is equivalent to possessing 1, 00 times the True Spirit!

What if it were ten thousand, a million?

"Hiss!" Zhao Xing was immediately shocked. "Crossing the tribulation successfully, recovering increases the True Spirit."

"Crossing the tribulation fails? It has nothing to do with the true body and the remaining clones; only one dies."

"It's truly heaven-defying."

However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xing felt that this tearing should have an upper limit.

Otherwise, Zuo Qiyu and Jinyan wouldn't be thinking about killing each other.

Everyone could just cultivate clones to become stronger; why fight and kill?

"Dao Control, Distance-less Teleportation, Taichu Dharma Body, Soul Tearing—four abilities, each one heaven-defying." Zhao Xing thought to himself, "However, there are many hidden dangers. Too much soul tearing will inevitably lead to mental

disorder, and it must be controlled by extremely strong soul secret techniques, otherwise, one is likely to go crazy."

"The Taichu Dharma Body is expensive; without Void Ancestor series materials, it's only slightly stronger than the Taixu clone and doesn't reach a heaven-defying level."

"Dao Control is ineffective when encountering people like Zuo Qiyu and Jinyan; everyone is pulled back to the same level, it's just a technique, and it can't break the move."

"Distance-less Teleportation has no hidden dangers, but if there are few clones, it won't be effective."

"Gu Tianyang really created an extremely powerful and extremely fatal technique." Zhao Xing summarized.

Familiar enough, he looked at the distant mountains and ridges.

"Since this technique was created using the Void Ancestor as a template, the information on this Void Ancestor's Molting Divine Bone is very important."

"Zuo Qiyu's determination to teach me this technique is probably because he wants to solve the drawbacks."

No one wants to cultivate such a technique, especially since this technique led to the rift between teacher and disciple!

Zuo Qiyu's willingness to make concessions on the Great Dao should mean that deep down, he hopes to find a solution.

"Distance-less Teleportation." A black glint flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes; the mountain disappeared before his eyes, and the gray mist in the sky also vanished.

He saw the Taixu clone pinned under the foot of the mountain.

The Taixu clone also possessed the conditions for Distance-less Teleportation, only the distance was not as far as the Taichu clone.

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, the true body on the Flower Chair disappeared and appeared inside the pinned Taixu clone.

Soul and body teleported together, arriving inside the Taixu Grassman!

Swish~

Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor appeared at the same time, looking at the empty Flower Chair; Zuo Qiyu said nothing.

"What are you looking at? It's just a chair left, you can't still have red eyes, can you?" The Five Poisons Emperor vigilantly put away the Flower Chair.

Zhao Xing could suppress the murderous intent because he had just mastered it and hadn't split many times yet, but Zuo Qiyu had many clones, and that desire was born along with the tearing.

For every clone, there were as many voices influencing his behavior!

"Hmph." Zuo Qiyu withdrew his gaze.

"Zuo Qiyu, tell the truth, did you deliberately teach Zhao Xing the Taichu clone, raising him like a pig?" the Five Poisons Emperor asked. "Although that clone of his was transformed into his shape, you possess 'Dao Control' and could have completely established a connection first, then entered through Distance-less Teleportation."

"Stupid!" Zuo Qiyu sneered, "You say you understand, but you were just putting on a show."

The Five Poisons Emperor realized the other party was referring to the conversation in the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom's palace, but this time he didn't get angry from embarrassment, instead asking: "Then tell me, what don't I understand?"

"If I could get in, why would I create another enemy for myself?" Zuo Qiyu said indifferently: "I tried it long ago; Dao Control is useless for that Taixu clone of Zhao Xing here."

"Being able to make your Dao Control ineffective, you mean..." The Five Poisons Emperor's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.

"Either it's the isolation of the Molting Divine Bone, or it's a problem with the World-Transmitting Tower, or there is an expert in this spacetime." Zuo Qiyu said: "No matter

which one, it is the divine power of the God level; only he can enter."

The Five Poisons Emperor was also clear about the 【Causality War】, and he said with some worry: "How did the Causality War on a small Zhao Xing rise to this level? Sigh..."

Now the Five Poisons Emperor could only sigh. Involving this level, he could only hope that Zhao Xing would be safe and sound.

Zhao Xing's true body appeared inside the Taixu Grassman. At this time, he still hadn't undergone the Great Tearing; he only felt a faint barrier between the clone and the true body. This was because his soul hadn't undergone a qualitative change to reach the True Spirit level, and the first Great Tearing hadn't been completely finished, just having a prelude.

However, he couldn't care about these things right now; he just wanted to get in quickly and find out what was going on.

"My body above the waist is pinned outside the circle, and below the waist is placed inside."

"The clone still needs to maintain this state, so I won't recover the clone soul yet; the true body will fly toward the feet to see if I can pass through to the inside."

Running for a while along the internal space of the Taixu Grassman, Zhao Xing could see a clear outer layer inside with a faint reddish luster, and a white barrier inside.

When he approached, he felt an invisible resistance.

"Not letting me in?" Zhao Xing tried, finding he couldn't get in, the feeling exactly the same as being blocked at the gate of the World-Transmitting Tower last time.

However, just as Zhao Xing was thinking of a way, the light shield underwent two changes.

The first change was that the red light weakened, slowly retreating to the surroundings like a tide.

The second change was that the white light brightened, and a ripple-like fluctuation pushed upward.

"The first time, the red light retreated gently and actively; the second time, it was as if the white light launched an attack, repelling the red light." Zhao Xing keenly sensed this change, and a hypothesis emerged in his heart.

Could it be that Old Qing and Bowei are helping me? Old Qing is repaying a favor, but what is Bowei after?

"Let nature take its course, let nature take its course... anyway, I'll erase the star when I return home." Zhao Xing shook his head, no longer thinking about it.

"Hum~"

The true body successfully passed through the white light barrier and arrived inside the divine pattern area.

The field of vision before him changed from dim to bright, just like walking out of a cave entrance.

And the fact was indeed so; Zhao Xing had entered the interior through the big toe of his Taixu clone.

"I'm in. Where are the divine patterns of the Molting Divine Bone?"

Looking down, he found it was a vast expanse of white, unable to see anything at all.

This was no different from when he was outside; except for the ground emitting white light, Zhao Xing felt nothing.

"Could the white light be divine power?" Zhao Xing pondered, feeling it was very likely.

Because when he was contemplating the Heart-Sealing Technique, a divine-level spell left by the Physician God Fan Qianrou, there was also a burst of white light.

It was just that it later precipitated into seven colors, and in the end, he used the Great Dao of Life as an entry point to master the Azure Flower magic power.

"The true body's soul body still has half of the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, making it quite difficult to contemplate." Zhao Xing looked at the ground, his heart moved.

"Perhaps the opportunity Old Qing mentioned is here... Soul leaving the body!!!"

Wrapped in the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, it was extremely difficult for the soul to leave the body.

That feeling was like the soul carrying an infinitely heavy mountain, moving forward step by step, without the slightest sway, because at this time, half of the True Spirit Heavenly Poison had been eliminated, and the protective measures set up by Bowei on the periphery of the soul had also been eliminated by half.

If he wasn't careful, there was a risk that the True Spirit Heavenly Poison would erupt completely.

"Chi chi chi chi chi~"

A wisp of fine black gas began to overflow from Zhao Xing's seven orifices.

It took a full three years, and finally, when his magic power was nearly exhausted, he completed the step of 'soul leaving the body.'

"Hum~"

The moment the soul appeared carrying the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, Zhao Xing felt his whole body relax.

The scene before his eyes suddenly brightened.

It was as if he had finally unloaded a heavy burden he had been carrying for a long time, feeling very refreshed.

"Ow ow ow oh ho, refreshing!"

It was too comfortable; this feeling made Zhao Xing unable to help but dance and scream.

Because the True Spirit Heavenly Poison was dissolved by the white light in an instant!

Like an ice cube thrown into the Sun Star, it melted in seconds!

"The Void Ancestor is awesome!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

He used the Azure Flower magic power and still couldn't resolve the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, but the divine power on the Void Ancestor's Molting Bone instantly killed the True Spirit Heavenly Poison in seconds!

A molted bone, not knowing how many years had passed, and the divine power attached to it still killed the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, which was difficult to save even for a Semi-God level!

"I can see some clues now."

Zhao Xing's soul returned to his body; without the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, he saw things much more clearly.

"Just now, the white light dissolved the True Spirit Heavenly Poison; this wisp of white light rose from under my feet and returned to a hundred meters above my head."

"Soul Heavenly Vision!"

A pair of eyes appeared above Zhao Xing's head, possessing multiple perspectives simultaneously, patrolling back and forth on the white ground.

He sat cross-legged, and at the same time, his true body was also cultivating the "Heart-Sealing Technique."

Since Fan Qianrou was also in the God Realm, even if she wasn't as good as the Void Ancestor, it was still divine power.

All Great Daos lead to the same destination; perhaps he could compare his experience in cultivating the Azure Flower magic power to contemplate the Molting Divine Bone.

"He went in."

Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor watched from afar on the mountain peak; they could clearly see a tiny black dot on the white ground.

"Stop looking, I'll guard here." The Five Poisons Emperor pushed Zuo Qiyu. "Your eyes are red again... Huh? I didn't feel your murderous intent this time; are your eyes really red?"

Zuo Qiyu: "..."

You wouldn't die if you didn't speak.

Seeing that Zuo Qiyu was about to go berserk, the Five Poisons Emperor couldn't help but quickly change the subject:

"Emperor Tianwu has been calling for help for a while; you should go and mediate."

"You can't really be indifferent; it's not easy to explain."

Zuo Qiyu nodded. Emperor Tianwu was good at taking a beating, but facing five Demon Emperors, he only had the strength to be beaten, not the strength to fight back.

However, if Emperor Tianwu didn't end the battle, the five Demon Emperors wouldn't be able to contemplate the Molting Divine Bone smoothly.

With a Qi-cultivating martial artist screaming and shouting nearby, who could contemplate with peace of mind?

"Whoosh~"

Zuo Qiyu quickly flew toward the battle area.

Staying in the divine pattern area for only three months, Zhao Xing had gained something, and his true body also mastered the Azure Flower magic power.

A wisp of Azure Flower magic power lingered in his eyes; with the blessing of the Azure Flower magic power, looking at the white ground again, Zhao Xing's vision was completely different.

The trajectory of the white light lines slowed down, and Zhao Xing memorized all these operating patterns, soon composing a strange pattern.

Checking after magnifying it, Zhao Xing was a bit surprised, because it looked very much like a stomach.

The stomach was three-dimensional, with many white light lines operating like meridians.

"Assuming the Molting Bone I saw is only a part, then does this represent the Gluttonous Eating Technique in the cultivation of a martial artist's Golden Body?"

In the cultivation of a martial artist's Golden Body, the skin, flesh, golden bones, and five internal organs each have independent cultivation methods, but the whole is interconnected.

Zhao Xing had entered the stomachs of many Qi-cultivating martial artists, such as Yu Yitian and Chen Xuan.

The scenes inside their stomachs were completely different; some stomachs were full of flames, like a world of fire, and some were like a cold hell.

Not to mention martial artists, he himself had cultivated the Food Supplement Technique, and because of this, he was very familiar with this part.

"The Heavenly Kitchen position occupies a very important part in a martial artist's cultivation. The philosophy of the Qi school is that the body contains all things, and being able to absorb Qi and digest spiritual energy substances is paramount."

"Completing digestion here and using this as a base point to transport the Qi of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements throughout the body to forge golden bones and strengthen blood and flesh is the most important part of the internal refining method."

The three-dimensional diagram before him was like a star map. Zhao Xing thought for a moment and summoned a Grassman from the origin space, starting to simulate it.

He didn't dare to try with his true body, but the Grassman Technique had a mimicry clone, whose internal structure completely replicated the human or demon physique, specifically used to try new methods.

If the true body practiced it, it might lead to Qi deviation; if the mimicry clone practiced it, it wouldn't matter if it exploded.

Hum~

The mimicry Grassman exploded at the first step of trying to practice.

"Boom!"

It exploded very cleanly, turning directly into nothingness.

Zhao Xing frowned.

He didn't frown because the clone exploded, but because he discovered that he had actually forgotten the cultivation process just now.

"Can't memorize it; even if I master it here, it's useless." Zhao

Xing looked at the gradually disintegrating three-dimensional diagram; at first, the clone remembered half, but now it had forgotten everything.

"The Void Ancestor's technique is too high-level; even if it's just a remnant, it's very difficult for me to memorize and retain the Dao rhyme."

Forgetting it after practicing clearly meant that the Dao rhyme attached to the Divine Bone could not be memorized.

In this way, whether Zhao Xing cultivated it himself or rubbed it off to hand it in, it became a difficult problem.

"Bang!"

"Hum~"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

After trying ten thousand times, Zhao Xing discovered that this was not a coincidence; every time, it exploded as soon as he started practicing.

"Many precious secret techniques have very high requirements for the material carrying them, such as Fan Qianrou's Seven-Star Cabinet, the innate divine abilities retained by the three thousand Dao seeds back then, as well as the Primordial Dao Treasury and the Myriad Dao Tree... To retain a powerful technique, there must be a carrier."

"Can I try using plant life as a carrier?" Zhao Xing looked inside his origin space.

"Seven-Domain True Spirit Bamboo... This was a gift from Master Five Poisons, and it has now entered the growth stage, comparable to the combat power of the Reincarnation Realm; I'm afraid it won't work. It's not the Myriad Dao Tree, not a good carrier."

"Black Sky Moon Tree, grade unknown, better not try; it definitely won't work."

"Spirit-Devouring Grass, legendary grade, the grade is enough, but it's only in the seedling stage, I'm afraid it's also difficult."

"Thousand-Illusion Tree? Don't even mention it; it's only in the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm now."

"The soul is of course a good carrier. If my true body tries to cultivate it, it might be possible to memorize it, just like Fan Qianrou's technique; the soul power possessed by the trial Grassman is simply too little."

"Perhaps if my true body practices it, it won't explode."

"However, this is very dangerous, and even if I learn it, I can't teach it to others."

"Unless I find a carrier that can carry it, like the Heart-Sealing Technique for the Seven-Star Cabinet."

Since he had come, Zhao Xing wouldn't be reconciled without trying, but the danger was too uncontrollable.

Zhao Xing was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Suddenly, something in his origin space caught his attention, which made Zhao Xing's eyes light up.

"Right, why didn't I think of it!"

Swish~

Zhao Xing flipped his hand, and a wooden carving in his origin space appeared before him.

Far away in the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom's Imperial Palace, Qing Yuzi in the Elm Tree felt something, so he looked toward the direction of the Divine Bone.

When he saw Zhao Xing take out a wooden carving, Qing Yuzi's eyeballs almost popped out.

"What? This bastard... don't use my statue as a carrier!!"

What level is the Void Ancestor, and what level is he?

Letting Zhao Xing in was already enough to consume his divine power; he only let him in to try because he saw that Zhao Xing was special.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Xing was afraid of death and didn't dare to practice it himself, planning to use his

statue as a carrier to give himself an insurance policy.

"Don't—————"

? o

Qing Yuzi really wanted to scold Zhao Xing, but it was already too late!

He heard a faint muttering in his ear: "Qing Yu Divine Venerable is above, disciple Zhao Xing, intends to borrow your statue for use. If I can bring back the Void Ancestor's Divine Technique, it will be for the benefit of practitioners, and you will have immeasurable merit..."

Immediately after, Qing Yuzi's eyes turned red.

The red light symbolizing the operating laws of the World-Transmitting Tower, which he had already pushed over the top, suddenly pressed down.

"Bang!"

His head was immediately split in two, stopping only at his neck.

Qing Yuzi's body split directly!

His mood also split.

"My past life's Dharma body has been ruined just like that; I can never enter this spacetime again." Qing Yuzi was on the verge of tears.

"Sigh, what kind of evil have I committed..."
