Chapter 98: The True Clone Method

Chaos City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yang walked along the dim corridor, advancing continuously, and soon arrived before a massive bronze gate.

A kindly‑faced three‑eyed elder sat cross‑legged at the gate, smiling as he looked at him.

"Lord Kandeli!"

He performed a respectful bow.

"Mm."

The Lord Kandeli smiled and nodded, his demeanor appearing quite amiable.

"Shall we chat?"

"Please speak, my lord."

He hurriedly responded.

In the presence of such a powerful figure, he naturally had no room to refuse.

The Lord Kandeli nodded, and an invisible ripple emanated from him, enveloping a several‑meter radius around.

In this area, space seemed to warp slightly, completely isolated from the outside.

"Just at Universe Level First Order, the Soul Power is already this strong, even surpassing some special beings that specialize in soul cultivation—truly rare!"

In the space, that kindly‑faced three‑eyed elder looked at Zhou Yang, his gaze revealing unabashed admiration.

"Is it because my soul is strong?"

Zhou Yang was momentarily startled in his heart, yet his face remained impassive as he waited silently for the elder's next words.

The Lord Kandeli continued:

"I have traversed the Endless Eras of the universe; if I were to name the most impressive, it would be my unique Clone Technique."

"Clone Technique!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Yang's eyes instantly lit up!

This Lord Kandeli's Clone Method is indeed a fine thing!

Normally, only certain special beings in the universe that possess the Clone talent can give rise to additional clones.

Ordinary immortal humans can at most expend their own energy to condense some Energy Avatars.

These Energy Avatars can only be used for communication and conveyance, possessing no combat ability.

But this Lord Kandeli's Clone Technique truly can evolve into multiple combat‑capable clones,

although each clone's strength reaches only about sixty percent of the original, falling short of the special‑being clones born of the Clone talent.

Yet there is one advantage that no Clone talent can match.

That is the terrifying number of clones!

You should know that the City Lord's Mansion has 52 Chaos Monuments, and in front of each Chaos Monument Secret Chamber's door stands a clone of Kandeli guarding!

So just here there are at least 52 clones!

Moreover, he can dispatch other clones to explore the Secret Realm together with the Nine Swords Exalted One, clearly still having surplus strength.

Due to the Meteor Tear, he dares not easily abandon his current body to possess other special beings.

Thinking of Luo Feng's numerous powerful clones in the original work, and the tremendous life‑preserving ability they provide, he felt envious.

If he truly could master Kandeli's Clone Secret Technique, not to mention anything else, his life‑preserving ability would reach a perverse level!

From now on, whether in adventurous exploration or in battle, he will have many more flexible tactics.

"Lord Kandeli, would you be willing to impart your unique Clone Secret Technique?"

Zhou Yang restrained his excitement, and, somewhat apprehensive, spoke.

Such a treasured powerful secret cannot be so casually taught to a newcomer like this little fellow who just joined the Virtual Universe Company.

The Lord Kandeli smiled, nodded, then shook his head, and sighed:

"My secret technique isn't actually that precious; it's just that its cultivation conditions are overly harsh. I have taken a few disciples before, yet none have ever succeeded in mastering it."

"Not a single one succeeded?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but be astonished.

The three‑eyed elder before him has been guarding the Chaos Monument for Endless Eras.

In these countless eras, each cohort of the Genius Battle must first go to Chaos City to comprehend the Chaos Monument.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this Guardian Lord has seen all the geniuses from the Cosmic Human Race spanning billions of eras.

And those he deems worthy are absolutely the most outstanding among all geniuses—the geniuses among geniuses!

Yet even these peerless geniuses cannot master this three‑eyed elder's Clone Secret Technique?

"I won't say much more; become my disciple, and I will pass this secret technique to you. Whether you can cultivate it, that's up to you."

Kandeli laughed, "Of course, even if you cannot learn this secret technique, you will certainly not lose out.

I myself walk the paths of the Wood and Space Origin Laws; teaching a Universe Level youngster like you should be more than enough."

He smiled at Zhou Yang: "How about it? Think it over carefully."

"Oh? Lord Kandeli also cultivates the Wood and Space Origin Laws?"

Zhou Yang felt a stir in his heart.

It seems this is why the Nine Swords Exalted One mentioned in the Email that Lord Kandeli would be perfectly suited to him…

Up to now, among the over a hundred strong individuals who expressed a desire to take disciples, only two have been selected as most suitable.

One is the powerful Xuanlan Venerable, the other is the Dark Star King, adept at teaching disciples.

The most important thing is that both are extremely proficient in the Wood and Space Origin Laws, perfectly matching the laws I practice.

As for the Kandeli before me, in terms of strength he certainly surpasses that Xuanlan Venerable.

As for his teaching ability I'm not sure, but after two meetings he seemed very easy to get along with.

Moreover, with the lure of that Clone Secret Technique, if he also excels in the Wood and Space Origin Laws...

"Lord Kandeli, no need to consider it, I am willing to take you as my master!"

Zhou Yang said respectfully.

"Oh? Very good, very good!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's reply, the three‑eyed elder‑looking Lord Kandeli was greatly delighted, his face continuously smiling.

"My disciples are few, so I don't fuss over empty formalities; just here, simply perform the master‑taking ceremony for me."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yang, hearing this, immediately knelt on both knees, respectfully bowed his head eight times to Kandeli, performing the master‑taking rite common throughout the Universe.

A teacher is a guide on one's cultivation path, and Secret Techniques, insights, etc., are taught free of charge, sometimes even granting many resources.

Therefore, throughout the Universe, the master‑disciple relationship is highly valued.

"Master!"

Zhou Yang rose and shouted respectfully to Kandeli.

"Very good, very good!"

Kandeli kept nodding, his eyes showing satisfied smiles.

"Since you are willing to take me as master, I naturally must assume the responsibilities of a teacher."

"Thus, during these 30 years in Chaos City, you may consult me once every ten days via the Virtual Universe."

"However, I will wait to give you the Clone Secret Technique until the day you leave Chaos City; in these 30 years, seize the chance and first devote yourself to studying the Fundamental Law!"

"As for those who wish to take disciples, you need not worry; I will greet them myself."

"Yes, thank you, Master!"

Zhou Yang said gratefully.

"It's nothing."

Kandeli nodded and said with a smile:

"The guardian of Tongtian Bridge, Bafin, sent an Email stating that you are a once‑in‑a‑Million Eras unparalleled genius, yet some higher‑ups think you don't yet deserve that title."

"So, go ahead, work hard, and smash those people's faces with your actions!"
