Chapter 286 - Great Sun Demon Crow (1/2)
What a marvelous cultivation technique….
The more he comprehended the [Mystic Duplication Technique], the more astonished he was by his ancestors' intelligence.
[Mystic Duplication Technique], the crux of this technique lied in the 'Duplication'. The principle was to duplicate a functionally identical clone that was independent of the true self.
In the rumors, when the [Mystic Duplication Technique] was cultivated to the end, one could make his skins, flesh, hairs and any other parts of his body into a new existence, a new being; but this was only achievable when one has cultivated to the level of Pangu God, the creator of the universe.
Of course, that was only theoretically possible and practically improbable, it was just a rumor, a legendary tale. However, the [Mystic Duplication Technique] could indeed replicate the blood essence, cultivation base, and spirit to form a replica of the true self. The [Mystic Duplication Technique] could be cultivated once one reached Atman body. It could enhance the cultivator's prowess and cultivation base, but only slightly. Their prowess would only receive a significant boost upon entering the Inner Core level!
Moreover, when in the Heavenly Dharma level, the Yuan Shen could be duplicated and made into an incarnation!
Zhong Yue carefully comprehended the [Mystic Duplication Technique] and tried his best to understand all of the totem patterns; the [Mystic Duplication Technique] given to him by Xin Huo was way more complete and abstruse than Xiao Chushan's. Xiao Chushan had cultivated the three inner cores and had assigned one attribute to each of them and used them together. But according to Xin Huo, any of the three inner cores could contain all three attributes; every one of the inner cores could control the dimension, Yuan Shen, and body.
And when all three inner cores were used together, their powers would be three times stronger than Xiao Chushan's!
The true and complete technique was capable of suppressing any Qi Practitioner of the same level, and even those of higher cultivation levels would be heavily suppressed in their speed and strength, as well as their comprehensive battle prowess!
It seems like the Xiao Mang Celestial Race ancestor only taught Xiao Chushan a small part of the whole cultivation technique, even separating the true cultivation technique for the three inner cores. Xiao Chushan seems to have only gotten a simplified version of the [Mystic Duplication Technique] instead of the real one.
If Xiao Chushan were given the true quintessence of the [Mystic Duplication Technique], then Zhong Yue would have been the one dead on the ground!
He couldn't even defeat me when cultivating the simplified version. And to think that he believed he could beat Zuo Xiangsheng, who possessed the fire spark of the Shen Ya Celestial Race ... this Xiao Chushan is too conceited. But this Xiao Mang Celestial Race ancestor knows of the [Mystic Duplication Technique]. He must be incredibly strong, would he be the one in the moon?
Zhong Yue thought of the godly spirit that was hidden in the moon, and a chill was sent down his spine; whoever that god was, his power was unfathomably strong!
He would be one that stood on par with the Kun Peng ancestor that crafted the Divine Wing Saber and the Ancestral Dragon that forged the Coiling Dragon Sword. However, what puzzled Zhong Yue was why the Xiao Mang ancestor was still here. Why hadn't his spirit gone to the Void World, but instead, remained in Ancestral Star?
The Atman Body cultivators would have to replicate his spirit, and nurture it with the arcane energy and psyche. It was a rather complicated process, and the biggest obstacle to the whole process was the bloodline in the Yuan Shen.
As long as there was a bloodline in the Yuan Shen, with the power of the bloodline, the replication and duplication process would proceed much more smoothly.
In the [Mystic Duplication Technique], there was an abstruse technique to refine the bloodline in the Yuan Shen, which was precisely why Xiao Chushan had met a dead end in his cultivation progress. He had spent too much time on it, and it impeded his cultivation progress. His frustration must have eventually lead to his fiasco against Zuo Xiangsheng.
However, this obstacle that was virtually insurmountable for Xiao Chushan was basically nonexistent to Zhong Yue. He already had the bloodline flowing through his Yuan Shen, making the whole cultivation process much easier for him.
"Brat Yue, you can try and refine the demonic aura and demonic Qi into one of the emulated inner cores," Xin Huo suddenly spoke.
"Refining the demonic aura and demonic Qi into the emulated inner core? Xin Huo, you are asking me to cultivate a demonic inner core?" Zhong Yue was stunned, the demonic aura and demonic Qi was exactly what Tian Myriad Mother had used against him in the Seal Suppression Hall. They were at the level of gods and were not easy to get rid of, stubbornly rooting themselves in his body, where he was unable to eradicate it. He ultimately had to resort to sealing it in the corner of his psyche ocean.
All this while, as the days passed by, the demon god's demonic aura and demonic Qi have been siphoning away at his essence, gradually evolving into a round moon, that was darker than black itself, hovering above his psyche ocean.
The demonic aura and demonic Qi have been hampering his prowess, all the while strengthening themselves. Sooner or later, they would evolve into something he will no longer be able to deal with.
Xin Huo bestirred himself and flew out of Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen secret realm. He laughed and said, "Rather than fighting so hard with the demonic Qi and demonic aura, why don't you just turn them to your own benefits? Cultivate one of the emulated inner core with the demonic affinity, and the other with the monster affinity. With this, you will be able to possess the advantages of all three races – the celestials, demons, and monsters!"
Zhong Yue was moved by the suggestion, but he then frowned and said, "The monster inner core is still fine as I have the [Monster God Ming King Art]. It wasn't hard to cultivate a monster inner core; but I don't have any demonic arts. To refine the demonic aura and demonic Qi into a demonic spirit is still fine, but to cultivate a demonic inner core requires a demonic art, something I don't have…."
All of a sudden, Xin Huo's eyes lit up, "Just go on with it. I know the exact place we can get a demon god's demon cultivation art. I'll take you there after we leave this Lesser Void World!"
Zhong Yue was puzzled, "Xin Huo, is it alright for the humans to cultivate a demon god's cultivation art? Is there any precedent of it being done successfully?"
Xin Huo pondered in earnest for a few moments, before he said diffidently, "I don't think so, the celestials and demons are long-standing rivals, archenemies since the start of time. For a celestial to cultivate the demonic arts is just volunteering for a suicidal death … But don't you worry, the Fuxi Celestial blood in you is faint and weak, the natural repulsion between the celestial blood and the demonic art shouldn't be that serious. If you succeed, you will be the first of your kind!"
