668 Primordial Soul Separation Technique (1/2)
Glimmering starlight shone directly onto Mo Wen's body. Soon after, his body split into two, then four. Slowly, more and more Mo Wens appeared on the nebula.
In the blink of an eye, there were more than a thousand of him. Each and every one of them was extremely lifelike, such that one could not tell the real and fake ones apart.
A voice rang out in Mo Wen's head. The Primordial Soul Separation Technique! The mysteries of the Primordial Soul Separation Technique made their way into Mo Wen's mind.
A feeling of shock rose within him. The Primordial Soul Separation Technique was a great magical power, even in the world of Immortal Cultivators, and only the most capable Immortal Cultivators on the Road to Heaven would have grasped it.
It was widely known that a single person could only focus on one thing at a time. It was unheard of for anyone to split their attention into two, much less split it multiple times.
However, this would not be an issue if one had the Primordial Soul Separation Technique, which allowed the primordial soul to be split into multiple parts. Each and every part of the primordial soul had an independent body that could be under independent thought and control. It was actually no different from being a completely separate person.
In the world of Immortal Cultivators, some of them who had mastered the great magical power of the Primordial Soul Separation Technique could separate their primordial souls and use other great magical powers at the same time. This greatly increased their powers and killing abilities. In fact, one could use the Primordial Soul Separation Technique to split into an unlimited number of bodies, forming a whole army of clones within a split second.
Mo Wen did not have much of an understanding of the Primordial Soul Separation Technique. However, he knew that it was a secret technique that only the Immortal Cultivators with great magical powers could master. Even those of the Tide Changing realm, and not just the Immortal Cultivators of the Primordial Soul realm, would find it difficult to master the Primordial Soul Separation Technique successfully.
Under the starlight, Mo Wen noticed that he had automatically harnessed the Primordial Soul Separation Technique, which had produced over a thousand Mo Wens in an instant. Each one of them had a separate consciousness, yet they maintained a connection with one another and so felt like a single person. This all felt extremely odd to Mo Wen.
It felt as though there was a countless number of him, yet only one of him all at once. With a single thought, all the Mo Wens could actually coordinate their actions with one another.
”So this is what the highest reward is!” A look of understanding flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. The reward was not giving him the Primordial Soul Separation Technique, because not even the Tower Spirit could gift such great magical power. Instead, the Tower Spirit could only allow Mo Wen to experience the effects of the Primordial Soul Separation Technique.
On the surface, perhaps it did not seem like much use. However, that was not the case. Mo Wen felt as though the Tower Spirit was responding to his current situation, by tailoring a reward for him. Every reward he had received so far seemed very suited for him.
Only Mo Wen himself understood his own situation. Up until now, he had not taken a break at all. He had been constantly working on raising his cultivation. However, the effort had caused cracks to appear in his foundations.
For example, Mo Wen was currently already of the Golden Elixir realm. However, his main cultivation techniques of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Divine Techniques were only trained to the fourth level. That simply did not match up with his status as a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. Under normal circumstances, someone of Golden Elixir realm cultivation should have trained them up to at least the sixth level. However, Mo Wen was still stagnating at the fourth level.
This was not due to a lack of his capabilities. The time that he had been able to spend working on the skills was too short. He simply did not have time to study and perfect his techniques. Therefore, they had stagnated.
All along, when Mo Wen went against opponents, he combined his inner Qi and used it as a foundation to achieve victory. He very rarely relied on his techniques.
The Nine Yang Divine Technique, for example, was accumulative, and would only accumulate more Yang Qi as one's cultivation increased. It was said that at the highest realm, it could even cause whole rivers to boil, and could melt entire mountain ranges.
However, Mo Wen's cultivation of the techniques remained stuck. His Nine Yang Divine Technique was neither here nor there. He was unable to fully unleash its powers. In fact, it was no different than his average techniques. He simply could not harness the specialty of the Nine Yang Divine Technique.
He had not had enough time to train his Nine Yin Divine Technique and the Celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon either. He had not actually taken the time to cultivate many of the techniques passed down by the Ming Clan. For instance, the scarily powerful Tai Yin Claws had been one of the most renowned techniques. However, in Mo Wen's hands, it had become utterly useless.
Since he had no time to cultivate the Tai Yin Claws, even if he forcefully demonstrated it, its powers would be very limited. In fact, it could not even compare to the mere three Glory techniques. However, it was an introductory technique that was already very strong for the average ancient martial art practitioner.
Ultimately, Mo Wen was still human and he could not handle so many things at once. Learning was endless and he had always wanted to learn the separation technique. All along, he had focused all his energy on increasing his cultivation. After all, one's cultivation was the main foundation of an ancient martial art practitioner. He had no choice but to give up working on other things.
However, at this moment, the Tower Spirit had gifted Mo Wen with a chance to make amends.
The Primordial Soul Separation Technique could turn one Mo Wen into a thousand Mo Wens. If he used that to train and cultivate, it would be as though a thousand clones of himself were training at once.
