Chapter 711: Ancient Dao Lakes (1/2)

[/expand]

One year

An entire year had passed since Meng Hao had arrived in the Blood De that time, he didn’t even step half a pace outside of his valley, nor did anyone disturb hi watched the sun rise and set Everything was cal the war that year, Xu Qing did not practice cultivation She lived like a hter would drift out from within the valley, and the Blood Deuard on the outside would smile and look back toward the valley

This was their Blood Prince and their Blood Prince’s beloved

During that year, Meng Hao’s reputation inside the Blood Demon Sect did not lessen Furtheran to spread out from the Blood De Hao’s name became evenexpert, Grandmaster Pill Cauldron, Blood Prince of the Blood Deainst the Black Sieve Sect The stories spread, and soon the na Hao’ was on the minds of everyone in the Southern Doic fate of the wang Clan, and heard about the broken-souled lunatic who raved of I…

During that year, Meng Hao did not give up on cultivating the Blood Deic However, on repeated occasions he sensed that he was incapable of reaching the third level He was

He had reached a bottleneck, that much was obvious Patriarch Blood Demon did not provide hi the entire year, he didn’t even speak to Meng Hao at all It see Hao’s hands Meng Hao now had authority over the life and death of everyone in the sect

Although he experienced no breakthrough in the Blood De the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Treasured Body Seal

The art was crude and simple, but it could teree Unfortunately, it required a vast nuical items to fuse into the flesh Essentially… it was a divine ability that could refine one’s body into a treasured ain enlightenment, would find it difficult to cultivate After all, it required incredible aical items Just to cultivate the first level required 10,000 Spirit Severing level ical items

Thankfully, the require life-essence treasures; were that the case, Meng Hao would have given up i like that

However, if he could successfully cultivate the first level, then his fleshly body would exceed Spirit Severing, and would reach the Dao Seeking stage When the fleshly body reached Dao Seeking, the qi and blood contained a natural law of Heaven and Earth

Such a body was like a precious treasure

If the second level was cultivated successfully, the fleshly body could break through Dao Seeking and then experience Fleshly Body Immortal Tribulation If transcended… the qi and blood could reach Immortal Ascension

“There are a total of four levels to this art If I can cultivate the highest level…” His eyes gleaht for a moment It quickly faded The ites the like of which he had never even heard of

“And then there’s the Withering Flaht, his eyes shi+ning with a strange light During the year, his greatest achievement was not related to the Nine Heavens Treasured Body Seal, but rather, the Withering Fla, Meng Hao had finally gained a bit of understanding It was actually an art that could be used to create a clone Granted, clone ic was not common in the Southern Do Cultivators had found a way to create clones

After all, if a clone died, the true self could continue on living Likewise, if the true self died, the clone could also continue on living Creating an additional clone was like creating an additional life

There were ics that could be used to cultivate clones, and they all had their various unique aspects As for the Withering Flahest ranked Daoist ics in the ancient Demon Iic of the Withering Flame Demon, one of the three Archdemons ranked directly beneath Lord Li

In ter more illustrious in all the Ninth Mountain and Sea

“Other clonea strand fro it into a flesh and blood body, or perhaps a spirit body Another option is to use soical item to create a body, then link it to the true self

“Those are the safest methods, and avoid any proble

“However, the Withering Flaous clone body The clone body also requires a strand of soul, except not from one’s own soul, but rather, the soul of an outsider

“The stronger the soul, the stronger the clone! In fact, more than one soul can be fused into it, which would make the clone eventhe body with the soul, but rather, controlling the soul with the body The soul withers, transfor into a flame that nourishes the clone This is not a Daoist art, but rather, Deic Once the clone is created, the physical body’s will transfor the clone’s soul and beco the True Self Dao

“The body is like a sheath and the soul is like a blade They key to it all is controlling that razor-sharp blade!

“This art is incredibly overbearing!

“Withering Flaic cultivates is not actually a clone, but a second true self! An incredibly powerful true self!”

Many things happened in the outside world during the year that passed One of theHao, but rather, the fact that one of the three Danger Zones of the Southern Do

Further frequency At first, they were limited to Dao Geysers on the periphery of the Dao Lakes, but eventually, even the Dao Lakes thean to erupt [1 You may remember the events which transpired around one particular Dao Geyser, which began in chapter 266 Meng Hao/Fang Mu was disguised as the Faceless Azure Hero He eventually gained enlighten]

“The Ancient Dao Lakes are erupting again!”
