SEC Chapter 85 External Avatar, Clone Divine Power
Chapter 85 External Avatar, Clone Divine Power
When Ye Yang asked me a question, I remained unusually silent.
He frowned and stared at Ye Yang for a long time before asking, "Do you want to cultivate the clone technique?"
In the Immortal Alliance, temporarily creating clones or creating an avatar with little combat power is considered a clone technique, but it is called a clone spell.
Only those who, as Ye Yang just said, can cultivate independently, possess an independent origin, and can independently create clones... those who can cultivate such clones are collectively referred to as clone supernatural powers.
Ye Yang nodded: "In my instance world, possessing the ability to create clones will be a huge advantage. Especially if you can have a clone of another race, the larger, denser, and stronger the body, the more robust its life force, the greater the advantage you'll have in the later stages!"
Seeing that I nodded in person, it seems that Ye Yang wasn't just talking casually, but was genuinely considering it.
So he said helplessly, "My dear disciple, actually our lineage is not very compatible with the clone technique, as you should have thought of."
Ye Yang nodded; that was indeed true.
True Meaning Martial Arts was created by the True Man I.
Their lineage is called the "Ultimate Self-Power Immortal Martial Dao Lineage".
As can be seen from the name, "Only Me" and "True Meaning" are about constantly refining and elevating oneself.
Appearance, physique, and race are all extremely important components of the 'self,' even foundational attributes!
If you can create an exact clone... that would be fine.
If you train to become someone else, or even someone of another race, that would be troublesome.
Like a world devourer breaking through from the realm of the universe to become a true god, one will "return to the origin," with all the major avatars returning to one, reverting to the original form of the soul.
The True Meaning Martial Arts also has a similar effect... but this would obviously create a conflict.
In Ye Yang's true essence prototype, he defaults to the fact that his race and form are "human". However, if he has a golden-horned giant beast clone, the true essence prototype will silently modify the clone's body and change it in the direction of human.
However, the gap between the two is too large, making such a change impossible!
If Ye Yang achieves the Great Dao, no matter what kind of creature he is reincarnated as—a pig, a dog, a fish, an insect, or some other random thing—he can refine it in an instant and return to human form.
It is this underlying conflict that causes Ye Yang to have a clone, which would severely affect the fusion of his soul and the clone's body, making it impossible for the body to achieve 100% compatibility!
On the other hand, it will also place a great burden on the nascent form of true meaning, which is equivalent to mechanical blockage. At best, it will cause poor operation and serious internal friction; at worst, it will collapse directly, and the Great Dao will become nothing.
But is there really no other way?
Ye Yang felt there was still a chance.
After all, his physical strength was very weak at first, but he became stronger through training.
This change was successfully adapted to by the nascent form of true meaning and engraved in its soul.
He is both strong and weak!
Everything is as you wish.
What about clones?
Is it possible to say: God is me, the devil is me, and man is me?
Multiple entities coexisting simultaneously?
Just like a person's hands and feet, although there are two, left and right, they are not completely symmetrical.
The human upper body has hands, shoulders, and a head, while the lower body has hips, legs, and feet.
The location of internal organs also varies.
No one is perfectly symmetrical; if someone were perfectly symmetrical, they wouldn't be a person, but a sphere!
Similarly, replace "up, down, left, and right" with "clone" and replace "hands, feet, and organs" with "race".
Is the "race" attribute asymmetrical across different clones?
This is Ye Yang's thought process.
Seeing that I was real, he shook his head and laughed, "Alright, I'll tell you about it then."
"The Immortal Alliance does not encourage cultivators to practice clone techniques, so you can only find out very little. The most well-known clone technique is probably the 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones' technique passed down by the Dao Ancestor."
Ye Yang nodded.
The reason why the Immortal Alliance does not encourage cultivators to cultivate clone abilities is very simple... The Immortal Alliance's resources for immortal positions are already very scarce. If an independent clone wants to become an immortal, it will definitely take up another immortal position!
Only the temporary avatar technique within the realm of magic has spread widely.
Moreover, the clone must also cultivate the same Great Dao, so it can only serve to increase combat power... But this can also be achieved by a skilled external avatar technique, and even better!
Therefore, ordinary cultivators in the Immortal Alliance do not have the resources or the need to cultivate an independent clone.
Upon seeing me in person, I continued:
"However, the creation of clones through the One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones is only secondary. The most important thing is to sort out and sublimate one's own Great Dao. It is a cultivation method that goes from unity to division, and then from division to unity, thereby completing a refinement of the Great Dao."
"The most widely spread clone technique in the Immortal Alliance today is the 'second primordial spirit,' but that clearly does not meet your requirements."
"Based on what you've said, there aren't many clone abilities suitable for you. For example, the 'Great Method of Transforming into a Celestial Being' from the 'Secret Scripture of the Formless Heavenly Demon,' the 'Immeasurable Worldly Tribulations Method' of the Heavenly Venerable Haotian, the 'Secret of Unity of All Beings' of the Thousand Star Lord, the 'Myriad Manifestations of Mind Transformation Technique' of the Hundred Transformations Demon Lord, and the 'True Name Record' of the True Spirit Refining Heart Meridian."
Seeing that I, the True Man, had rattled off a large number of supernatural powers and secret techniques in one breath, he continued:
"However, the above-mentioned clone techniques are either too advanced, and you cannot cultivate them even before you become a true immortal, or they are other people's secrets and core methods that you cannot obtain."
"Of all the methods of the Immortal Alliance that I can think of, the only supernatural power that you can currently obtain and cultivate below the Nascent Soul stage is the 'Innate Fetal Pregnancy Divide and Divine Power Technique' that meets the requirements."
"But this supernatural power also has a major drawback... the way it creates clones is similar to splitting one's soul to reincarnate. Although the original body and the clone are completely identical in terms of soul at the beginning, they will gradually drift apart over time."
"Like identical twins."
"This can't really be called a clone; it's more like a replication or creation! And the Immortal Alliance won't allow you to do this. The 'Innate Fetal Pregnancy Divination Technique' can only be used before the Nascent Soul stage is completed and the spirit is transformed. So, under normal circumstances, you basically can't obtain this divine ability before you reach the Void Transformation stage."
Seeing that I was staring at Ye Yang, I said, "I will not let you use this supernatural power."
"Therefore, I can only give you this as a reference, and you must also swear an oath of faith that you will never use this supernatural power!"
Ye Yang quickly shook his head: "Master, I'm not stupid. Using this supernatural power only creates a few brothers for me for no reason, it doesn't mean anything to me."
"Good that you know." Seeing me nod, he continued, "However, outside of the Immortal Alliance, I do know of a clone technique in a certain instance world that could meet your requirements."
"Unfortunately, this secret technique was created in that instance world. Even though the law system of that instance world is very similar to that of the Immortal Alliance world, and it is also an immortal world, there is still a difference."
"This difference is what makes this secret technique ineffective. Unless you can get a true immortal senior with profound attainments in the supernatural powers of creating clones and splitting souls to make localized improvements for you."
"Or you can adapt it to local conditions yourself as you grow in the future, otherwise it won't work."
Seeing that I was a real person, he shook his head and said, "Of course, to get such a being to work for you, you must pay a considerable price. It might not even be expensive if it costs you two or three immortal positions."
The Celestial Rank is equivalent to a star. To extract a standard star (a main sequence star with the mass of the Sun) from the dungeon world, 100 Jing (1 Jing = 1 trillion) of Destiny Points are required.
But a celestial position costs more than 100 jing... Using it yourself and selling it to others are different.
The owner of the copy can obtain excess profits from it.
"Your grandmaster has many disciples and even more grand-disciples. If you can demonstrate extraordinary talent in the future, it's not impossible for your grandmaster to personally fund or even get the Dao lineage to help you."
"But that's too difficult. Two of your uncles and grand-uncles have already become immortals, but including myself, no one has reached the point where your grandmaster would throw himself into it without hesitation."
These words from me, in real life, were clearly meant to tell Ye Yang that he should give up the idea of cultivating a clone.
However, Ye Yang remained silent for two seconds, then took a deep breath: "Master, if I master the first level of the 'Tai Xu Refining Spirit Method,' would that be considered 'heaven-defying talent'?"
