Chapter 53: Making Clones

Outside Luohe City, on Qianyuan Mountain in Xinglong Ridge, Lin Feng turned into a ball of fire and landed directly here.

Subsequently, he detached himself from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven state, and his whole person sat directly on a rock on the mountain, beginning to carefully think about the gains and losses of tonight.

Earlier, he was possessed by the *Xi Gui*, and his own self was influenced by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven he was performing; that kind of mindset was not suitable for calm thinking.

"When I fought with that old man, I suffered a fatal impact. I don't know if it was a curse or something else..."

Thinking of this point, Lin Feng's complexion was a bit ugly; the biggest failure this time also lay here.

He was not the same as other *guiyi* users; he didn't accommodate the *gui* into his body and bind it together with the *gui*.

He was a *gui* driven through the *Zhong Shi Yang Gui Jing* (Corpse-Planting and *Gui*-Nurturing Scripture). The reason these *gui* could be used by him was not because of his ability, but because of the effect of the *Zhong Shi Yang Gui Jing*.

In this situation, he had differences from other *guiyi* users.

For example, there was no *gui* inside his body, so naturally, he didn't need to worry about the *gui* awakening and having an impact on his body.

But by the same token, his life was not bound together with the *gui*; it was impossible to be like Su Xiao or Wang Xuanji, who could still have no major impact even if their bodies were rotting or missing limbs.

So when Wang Xuanji used a death curse to attack him, he was truly affected, while the *Xi Gui* itself didn't have much impact.

"Driving *gui*... the pros and cons are very obvious."

"The biggest advantage is that after successfully driving a *gui*, one's own life is bound together with the *gui*; it's not so easy to die, and even the body doesn't matter anymore."

"The disadvantage is that one needs to worry at all times that the *gui* will awaken and kill oneself, and one's own self will gradually lose humanity due to the influence of the *gui*, turning into a walking corpse that has no feelings, no knowledge of pain, and no joy."

Everything else was fine; possessing the *Zhong Shi Yang Gui Jing*, the *gui* wouldn't lose control, and he didn't have to worry about becoming a corpse.

But after merging with the *gui* for a long time, the *guiyi* would gradually erode the body and corrode the spirit, eventually leading to the living person losing humanity. This point was something Lin Feng really couldn't accept.

If a person didn't even have humanity, what was the point of living?

Even the most heinous criminals could satisfy their desire for destruction when causing trouble.

If one didn't even have any feeling when doing bad things, even a criminal wouldn't be able to stand it.

Just like that third young master of the Wang family, in order to regain a little bit of his humanity, he could only go to torture those poor women.

However, what was the use of such actions? It would only make one become more frantic, and eventually perish in madness!

"Whoosh—the research on *gui* must continue. At the current stage, I still cannot personally merge with *guiyi*!"

"But the danger this time also gave me a reminder; next time, I must make sufficient preparations!"

After thinking this through, Lin Feng let out a long breath of turbid air.

He still had one substitute puppet; next, he would ask the Ghost Suppression Division for some more, otherwise, he would never feel at ease in his heart.

Another thing was that the plan to make clones should start immediately. It just so happened that he had obtained a True Person's corpse!

Summoning the *Xi Gui* again, Lin Feng manipulated it to release the suppressed Wang Xuanji corpse.

"Many places are broken, but with the *Xiu Gui*, it should be able to be repaired. This guy still has *gui* inside, but it hasn't awakened yet."

This corpse was full of corpse spots and cracked places, and the bones inside were also more than half broken. The appearance was truly a bit too miserable to look at.

Another thing was that the right hand part was as black as ink. According to the previous battle, the effect of this hand should be to create *gui* slaves, but Lin Feng remembered some of Wang Chong's memories again.

According to these memories, Lin Feng also recognized Wang Xuanji's true identity: he belonged to one of the elders of the Tattoo Sect, his strength was a True Person, and he possessed four *guiyi* abilities.

"The Ghost Gate is the one I suppressed earlier, which can communicate with the Underworld."

"Giant Spirit Evil Ghost is that three-eyed, four-armed *gui*, which belongs to a special *gui* created by *gui* tattooing."

"The other is this black ink *gui* hand. Hmm, this thing is actually one of the inheritance treasures of the Tattoo Sect?"

Lin Feng stared at this hand and immediately remembered that the *gui* tattoo on Wang Chong's body was tattooed using the ink dripping from this *gui* hand as a raw material.

"Hiss—doesn't this mean the main raw material for *gui* tattooing is now in my hands?"

Coming back to his senses, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh that this father and son were really good people and gift-giving boys!

First, they gave him a Hundred *Gui* Banner, and now they even sent the raw materials to him.

"The last is the *gui* inside his body, which seems to possess multiple twisted faces and can erupt with a terrifying death curse..."

A True Person's corpse was indeed different. Even though Lin Feng had already stripped away two *gui*, the remaining ones were still not to be underestimated.

"Simply don't take it out, directly use it as a capability of the clone. Anyway, I just need to ensure I can control it!"

In the end, Lin Feng thought about it and decided to keep these two *gui* in the corpse.

"However, with the *Kui Lei Gui*'s current ability, it's already impossible to forcibly turn the corpse into a puppet, unless I let it grow to the Fierce *Gui* level!"

Having figured out the key to the problem, Lin Feng immediately began to get busy.

First, the *Kui Lei Gui*'s strength was still too low and had to be improved.

Lin Feng took out a handful of *Gui*-Nurturing Incense, lit it directly, and then let the *Kui Lei Gui* absorb it.

Then, he took out the evil ghosts transformed from the Wang family corpses that the *Xiu Gui* had caught and offered them to the *Kui Lei Gui* one by one.

The strength of these evil ghosts was between Small *Gui* and Big *Gui*. After Lin Feng offered seven of them, the *Kui Lei Gui* finally turned into a Fierce *Gui*!

On the surface, it still looked like an old man, but on its body, there were seven evil ghost images of various sizes tattooed.

Reaching this level, the *Kui Lei Gui* should be able to forcibly transform Wang Xuanji's corpse into a puppet.

Subsequently, Lin Feng began to use the *Xiu Gui* to repair Wang Xuanji's corpse, repairing the broken bones, cracked flesh, and even the tattered clothes until everything was intact.

Only when everything looked normal did Lin Feng start to let the *Kui Lei Gui* take action to transform the corpse into a puppet.

Accompanied by the *Kui Lei Gui* placing its hand on Wang Xuanji's corpse, the *guiyi* power belonging to the *Kui Lei Gui* quickly spread over the corpse.

"Click, click, click."

However, just at this moment, this corpse suddenly began to struggle. The *gui* within the corpse, stimulated by the *Kui Lei Gui*'s power, began to resist.

Twisted *gui* faces appeared on the flesh again, looking like they were about to drill out.

Even that black ink-like right hand began to seep black ink, and the *guiyi* power began to spread to the surroundings.

"Behave yourself!"

But Lin Feng wouldn't just watch. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Ruyi Golden Cudgel fell instantly.

The terrifying *guiyi* power belonging to the Fierce *Gui* instantly spread along the Ruyi Golden Cudgel into the *gui* within the corpse.

These *gui*, which had already fallen into silence, were instantly subdued by the Fierce *Gui*'s terrifying power, and then slowly fell into silence again under the erosion of the *Kui Lei Gui*'s power.

Soon, the corpse was successfully transformed into a flesh-and-blood puppet by the *Kui Lei Gui*. Immediately after, Lin Feng controlled the *Xiu Gui* to connect blood threads to every part of this puppet's body.

Until finally, Lin Feng felt he could control it as he wished! ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
