Chapter 1649: How Similar We Are

"Where is the Innate Dao Body?" Xun Shuang Xianzi asked.

This is what she cares about most; her physique should have been one‑of‑a‑kind, but now it seems it isn't.

"I'm not sure either… try attacking me?"

Xiao Feng couldn't be sure whether he had perfectly copied the Innate Dao Body.

Structurally speaking, there should be no problem.

But some things, even if identical, may not work—like the Divine Might Talent; once completely erased, it cannot be copied back.

Hearing this, Xun Shuang Xianzi didn't hesitate; she raised her jade hand, a thread of sword light whistled out, shooting at her, whom Xiao Feng had transformed into, and passed straight through her body.

She held nothing back; she knew she could never kill herself, and even if Xiao Feng's cultivation realm was low, it couldn't be done in a single strike.

The sword light passed through Xiao Feng's female form, and a damage number slowly floated up from his head.

-49,880,000

Eight digits, not over a hundred million.

"Success!" Xiao Feng instantly rejoiced.

Xun Shuang Xianzi is in the God King Realm, and her strength far surpasses ordinary God Kings; a casual sword qi's damage is at least in the tens of billions, easily instant‑killing upper‑tier chief gods.

Now dealing damage in the tens of millions range, obviously encountering the Ten Thousand Times Damage Reduction effect!

Xiao Feng opened his attribute panel to check his stats and talents.

But the result showed nothing—no Innate Dao Body, no Ten Thousand Times Damage Reduction.

But this effect did indeed appear on his body!

"Unbelievable." Xun Shuang Xianzi was also stunned, clearly feeling her sword qi failed to inflict the expected damage.

"Thank you, Fairy Maiden, for granting me this technique!"

Having obtained what he wanted, Xiao Feng clasped his hands in thanks, his tone joyful yet sincere.

In his female form now, he could almost be called a perfect copy of Xun Shuang Xianzi, except that his cultivation and enlightenment hadn't caught up; otherwise everything else was nearly identical.

However, he couldn't stay in female form indefinitely; he needed to incorporate the Innate Dao Body into himself.

Moreover, in female form he lacks a divine seal, so his talents can't activate; without using the Dao Mark Scar, he would likely struggle even against ancestral gods in battle.

"No need to thank me; it's your high perceptiveness that let you grasp the principle of creation." Xun Shuang Xianzi shook her head.

Xiao Feng said: "Thanks are due; if not for this opportunity now, even with a talent a hundred times greater I couldn't figure out what the Innate Dao Body looks like."

"You… you… don't bring this up."

If he didn't say it, it'd be fine; but saying it feels like reminding Xun Shuang Xianzi that her body has been seen completely.

The white‑clothed Fairy Maiden's cheeks flushed red; she turned away, flicked her sleeves, and said: "You've achieved your goal—just leave now."

"This…"

Xiao Feng hesitated a little.

Leaving right after learning feels like pulling out that… heartless thing…

He said: "Let me try again to see if I can make the Innate Dao Body usable for myself."

Then with a bang he dissolved the female form, returning to the appearance of primordial source qi.

Immediately he began, following the Innate Dao Body's Dao Pattern rules, inscribing onto each of his cells the symbol originally unique to Xun Shuang Xianzi.

His body is one size larger than Xun Shuang Xianzi's, taller by half a head, with more robust arms and torso, and evidently more cells.

Therefore, simply copying the homework won't work; he must add his own understanding and make some changes.

One by one, Dao Pattern symbols were inscribed onto his cells, taking longer than the time just spent condensing the female form.

Especially the difference between the Nascent Soul and the divine seal was most troublesome, taking over an hour to work out a disposal method.

After a full five hours, Xiao Feng finally stopped modifying himself.

At the moment the last cell finished its modification, he suddenly heard a system prompt!

【Detected your special physique, automatically awakening special talent: Innate Dao Body!】

The system, which had shown no reaction when he turned female, now displayed a prompt after he finished remaking himself!

He quickly opened his attribute panel to take a look.

The Innate Dao Body is a special talent, independent of the talent column, opening a new interface, just like the previous clone talent.

【Innate Dao Body】

Description: The foremost of the Eight Amazing Physiques in 《Myriad Heavens》, the strongest battle body; when cultivated to perfection it yields inconceivable power.

Unlock Progress: Not unlocked

Current Effect: Additional damage reduction 99.9%

Next Stage: Foundation Establishment (Trait: HP and MP limits increased 10x)

Unlock Condition: Level 200, defeat ten enemies of the same realm.

"Whoa, what's going on?"

Xiao Feng was instantly dazed.

This Innate Dao Body is actually a cultivable special battle body; its current damage reduction is only 1000‑fold, not reaching the exaggerated Ten Thousand Times.

But its growth potential is obviously tremendous!

At Foundation Establishment, i. e., level 200, one can activate the effect of increasing HP and MP limits tenfold—no wonder Xun Shuang Xianzi's mana is so deep and her health bar far longer than an ordinary God King's.

"Fellow Daoist, you?"

At that moment, Xun Shuang Xianzi, sensing his aura change, turned around and widened her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Feng asked.

Xun Shuang Xianzi's aura was a bit disordered.

Feeling Xiao Feng's true Innate Dao Body come into being, she could no longer keep her composure.

The previous Innate Dao Body was completely a copy of hers, so they were all the same, with no substantive difference; in her view, it was just like facing another herself.

However, at this moment Xiao Feng's body emitted an aura that was extremely similar to hers yet utterly different!

This is his Innate Dao Body, and it has no relation to her whatsoever!

He will also grow on his own, cultivating the Dao Body from minor achievement to major achievement, becoming stronger and stronger.

Moreover, as fellow Innate Dao Bodies, the direction of growth might also undergo some variations, each different!

The most critical thing is, at this moment Xiao Feng's aura makes her feel exceptionally close!

That feeling is indescribable, ineffable, just like... identical twins, producing some mysterious connection between them.

"You, you... really succeeded?" She didn't know what to say for a moment, asking a nonsensical question.

Xiao Feng also vaguely felt that he could sense some of her emotional fluctuations; at this moment Xun Shuang Xianzi's mood was unsettled, having suffered a great shock.

He replied: "Hmm, I seem to have independently developed a new Innate Dao Body, slightly different from yours."

Xun Shuang Xianzi looked at him and stammered: "You and I, how similar we are……"

Xiao Feng froze at the words, then immediately gave a wry smile: "But, not exactly the same. This world was never meant to have me; you are the chosen one, my appearance is merely an accident."

Xun Shuang Xianzi shook her head slightly: "Senior Sister said that nothing between heaven and earth is an accident; everything is arranged by the Great Dao. I am merely a pawn, while you perhaps have hope to break out of the chessboard……"

The chessboard……

What she meant was probably 《The Myriad Heavens》, right?

Xiao Feng neither affirmed nor denied.

At this moment, Xun Shuang Xianzi said again: "Fellow cultivator Xiao Feng, I seem to somewhat understand why you appeared."

"Why?" Xiao Feng asked.

She said: "Some things should have been done by me, but I was idle and ineffectual, so you appeared. You will replace me, become the future master of this world, and those matters will also become tasks on your path of cultivation."

"This……

Xiao Feng furrowed his brows.

He detected the hidden meaning in Xun Shuang Xianzi's words.

She thought Xiao Feng had come to replace her; the two are really too alike.

When she is perfectly replaced by Xiao Feng, her existence will become meaningless and could be erased at any time.

However, Xiao Feng felt that perhaps it was not so.

After thinking, he replied: "We still have differences; you don't need to overthink, just be yourself. My enemies and my ideals are not the same as yours."

"How would you know?" Xun Shuang Xianzi asked: "Do you know what I am supposed to do?"

Xiao Feng shook his head.

She said: "My task is to help the Supreme God achieve liberation."

Xiao Feng froze.

Supreme God?

Isn't that the "system"?

How did I get involved with this big shot again?
