Chapter 657: Chapter 329 Speculation on Creation Clone_2
 

However, when looking at the Yang Yuanying, that mysterious feeling emerged once again. He had two choices, one was to maintain the status quo, and the other was to continue creating the appearance of the current Invincible East identity.

It seems that to change identity, one needs to apply the appearance of the virtual identity onto the Nascent Soul.

Yet, after changing identity, it could be locked onto by the heavenly secrets, requiring one to face Heavenly Tribulation every fifty years. Of course, when the virtual identity is hidden, the heavenly secrets cannot sense it, and the fifty-year countdown would temporarily pause.

Once breaking through to the Refining Void Realm, these Nascent Souls would transform into clones. By then, it would be up to them to face the Heavenly Tribulation themselves.

Even if they separated from the main body, the strength of these Nascent Soul clones would surely surpass that of a normal Void Refinement Cultivator, so facing a Heavenly Tribulation would be quite simple.

Without much thought, Lin Yi directly assumed the virtual identity of Tian Ba, and a sense of being locked onto by heavenly secrets instantly surfaced.

He smiled. Indeed, the virtual identity couldn’t escape the need to face the Heavenly Tribulation, even though this body of his no longer carried the Otherworldly Aura. However, the identity of Tian Ba might, in the grand scheme of things, inherently carry the Otherworldly Aura.

Or it could be said that the Otherworldly Aura is just a concept within the Spirit Profound Realm, and that any Cultivator ascending from the Lower Realm, whether through stealth or ascension, must accept the trial of crossing tribulation.

After transforming into the identity of Tian Ba, Lin Yi’s consciousness sank into the Upper Field of Elixir, and following his thoughts, the Yang Yuanying inside also gradually took on Tian Ba’s appearance, an aura of unruly overlordship forming a stark contrast to Invincible East’s sinister aura.

Then, looking at the Golden Nascent Soul in the Middle Dantian, he felt that same mysterious sensation. It seemed that creation could affect this Nascent Soul formed from the Golden Core as well.

“Seems like they intend to make me leave with nothing,” he shook his head helplessly.

Lin Yi did not hurry to change the last Nascent Soul because most of a Cultivator’s cultivation levels depend on the Nascent Soul. Even after condensing a Primordial Spirit, it still requires the Nascent Soul as a vessel for cultivation to strengthen the Nascent Soul and thereby the Primordial Spirit.

If all three Nascent Souls were to leave the body and become clones, would his own cultivation levels change?

If all these Creation Clones separated from the main body, surely the original body cannot just be left as an empty shell. Of course, without the Nascent Souls, the main body still possesses a powerful physical form and control over certain elemental abilities.

After careful deliberation for some time, Lin Yi finally decided that since Creation encompassed this Nascent Soul in the Middle Dantian, then he would just go along with it. As the saying goes, without destruction there can be no construction. Perhaps in the future, he would encounter his own serendipitous fortune.

He immediately changed his identity to that of Pedestrian A, an identity only seen in the Xuan Tian Realm, with an unremarkable appearance that could easily be overlooked and could be considered the epitome of the Path of Survivor.

The identity of Invincible East was somewhat more enduring, while the identity of Tian Ba was one of unmatched dominance, not meant to endure.

Gazing at the golden Middle Dantian, Lin Yi’s thoughts stirred, and a wondrous aura enveloped the Golden Nascent Soul, initiating the transformation.

Gradually, the last Nascent Soul, which held his original appearance, morphed into the unremarkable appearance of Pedestrian A.

Lin Yi’s Primordial Spirit appeared within his body, looking at the three differently shaped Nascent Souls, he couldn’t help but say, “This is the empire I built with my own hands, and I entrust it to you from now on.”

Having three clones cultivate together was faster than him cultivating alone, even if his own cultivation level decreased, when the time came for Fusion, it would all return to him.

He increased his apparent realm by one level, now at the fifth level of Deification, entering the middle phase, considering he had spent most of his time learning, such a cultivation level seemed normal.

After coming out of seclusion, Lin Yi continued to enroll in various teaching courses in the Tai Xuan Mirror, and some Fusion Elders reminded him not to focus solely on learning, but also to set aside time for cultivation.

After all, the Deification Realm has a lifespan limit of only two thousand years. Ascending from the Lower Realm is extraordinarily difficult, the lifespan should only be over a thousand years left. Now having ascended for over four hundred years, reaching only the fifth level of Deification is indeed too slow.

“`

The subsequent four cultivation levels were even more difficult than the previous five, and moreover, time had to be reserved for breaking through to the Refining Void Realm.

Lin Yi indicated that after studying for another hundred years or so, he would enter seclusion to focus on cultivation. To attain Great Perfection in the tenth level of Huashen, relying on cultivation alone would take too long. He must prioritize exploiting external opportunities for gain, with cultivation as a secondary focus.

The Fusion Elders did not say much. Although they admired the learning attitude of the Ascender from the bottom of their hearts, the Cultivation World was one of the survival of the fittest, and the living situation of the human race was also harsh. If they could not see the hope of breakthrough to the Refining Void Realm in Invincible East, they would have to be unfeeling.

The resources within the Dao Palace were not to be used for nothing; one had to either go to the Border Spirit City to slay demons and exorcise evil or become a Dao Master within the Dao Palace, teaching other disciples in order to repay the merit owed.

Although he said a hundred years, in fact, it took less than eighty years to reach the Great Perfection Realm of the tenth level of Huashen.

Therefore, Lin Yi went into seclusion again to focus on the final breakthrough, but he would not make the breakthrough within the Dao Palace.

He was also not sure whether the fortune from breaking through to Refining Void was under his control or whether the three Nascent Souls would automatically transform into clones.

If they were to manifest directly, it would be quite a shock, with four individuals emerging from the Cave Mansion.

Moreover, based on his deductions, the virtual identity should be connected to Creation, so once the Creation Clone of the Refining Void Realm appeared, the three virtual identities under the title of Path of Survivor would likely be unusable.

However, after reaching the Refining Void Realm, the title of Path of Survivor would be upgraded to the next stage, and he would be able to obtain a new virtual identity.

If this new virtual identity could emulate the identity of the Demon Tribe, he would be able to transform directly into a member of the Demon Tribe and exploit them for gain.

As for whether the Creation Clone could carry the Title System, Lin Yi was not sure, but according to common sense, the title should only exist on his original body, and clones would not have it.

Back in the Lower Realm, when understanding the Deification Realm, he spent thirty-six years, as well as a large number of Virtue Points.

Now, although the three Creation Nascent Infants had already changed their appearances, breaking through to the Refining Void Realm would probably take at least a hundred years.

Lin Yi calculated the time, it had been over five hundred years since his ascension to the Spirit Profound Realm, and his present lifespan was around one thousand and fifty years old, almost enough to break through to the Refining Void Realm before the age of twelve hundred.

The lifespan limit for Huashen was two thousand years, while Refining Void reached four thousand.

In the Cave Mansion, he continued to activate the Little Luck State, delving into understanding the Refining Void Realm.

The creative evolution at the tenth level of Huashen had nearly consumed two million eight hundred thousand Virtue Points, now with one million two hundred thousand left, it should be enough to break through to the Refining Void Realm.

Although the deduction suggested that Creation Clones could not have titles, he had only one wish: that the demons slain by the clones would, after being spiritually crossed over, also bring Virtue Points under Compassionate Karma to his original body.

After the Primordial Spirit transformed into a divided spirit and entered the Creation Clone, it would likely act according to the character traits he had set; apart from Pedestrian A, neither Invincible East nor Overlord were easy to provoke, surely they would slay demons and exorcise evil.

In the following time, Lin Yi did not leave the Cave Mansion but focused on understanding the Refining Void Realm, gradually coming to realize the essence of dividing the Primordial Spirit into a divided spirit.

The divided spirits at the Refining Void level were the real divided spirits, unlike the filament of Primordial Spirit split by the Dan Immortal, which could only be maintained by the Formation and was unable to cultivate on its own. The divided spirits from Refining Void, on the other hand, could cultivate independently.

However, the cultivable divided spirit was not just a filament of the Primordial Spirit, but an entire Primordial Spirit separated in a virtual form at the Refining Void Realm; some cultivators could only divide one divided spirit, while others could divide several.

After consuming a large amount of Virtue Points and contemplating for over sixty years, Lin Yi felt that he was not far from breaking through to the Refining Void Realm and from virtually separating the divided spirit, so he ceased his contemplation.
