Chapter 62: Shadow Clone and Proficiency Match Better!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Under Shang Yun and the others’ careful arrangements.
In the depths of the Devil Slayers Division, an extremely dangerous place in the eyes of outsiders.
Was quickly tidied up into a quaint little courtyard.
On the whole, there was nothing special about this courtyard. It was a standard courtyard house.
However, even though it was small, it was complete with everything needed.
Not only were there mountains and rivers in the courtyard but there were also flowers and plants. It was very suitable for living.
Lu Yuan did not know what others thought, but he was very satisfied with this ‘new home’.
…..
In any case, his next cultivation would not cause much of a commotion, so he could just carry it out in this small courtyard.
Lu Yuan did not care at all if the courtyard was big or if the decorations were gorgeous.
The only thing he cared about was the quality of soundproofing and the size of the bed.
Not to misunderstand. If the soundproofing was good, it could ensure that he would not be affected by outsiders when he cultivated.
And if the bed was big, it would be more comfortable when he cultivated.
Shang Yun ‘understood’ Lu Yuan’s two requests very thoroughly.
Not only did he personally set up a soundproofing array and an illusion array around the courtyard, but he also specially asked someone to send a big bed in.
It ensured that Lu Yuan would have an absolutely quiet and comfortable environment when he ‘cultivate’.
It ensured that the people outside could neither hear the sound nor see the situation inside.
After these trivial matters were settled, Lu Yuan dispersed everyone and rested in the room.
Lu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the big bed, began to sort out his current situation.
Firstly, in terms of his special divine ability, Lu Yuan currently had three special divine powers. The Green Flame Technique, the Gilded Sand, and the Formless Squall.
Whether it was in terms of attack, defence, or escape, they were all very good.
Secondly, he had the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual root. He had three way of the heavens spiritual root, the metal spiritual root, the water spiritual root, and the wind spiritual root. It was not too bad.
He didn’t lack divine ability currently, and the number of the way of heavens spiritual root was still acceptable.
Then, the main thing he had to do next was to try to condense more Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual roots as soon as possible during the process of elevating his cultivation.
If everything went smoothly, Lu Yuan felt that he could make it through the next ten years.
He would be able to cultivate two more Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual roots.
And increase his Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual roots to a total of five.
At that time, his survival ability would undoubtedly be greatly improved.
As for what the next two way of the heavens spiritual roots to cultivate were, Lu Yuan also decided after some thought.
They were the fire spiritual root and the wood spiritual root.
Why he chose to cultivate these two spiritual roots was related to the cultivation technique he had specially exchanged for before he left the mountain, the ‘Fire Cicada Nine Transformations: Foundation Establishment chapter’.
[Fire Cicada Nine Transformations: Foundation Establishment chapter]
[Cultivation requirements: Possess fire and wood dual spiritual roots,
Emptiness Realm Divine Soul]
[Effect: After cultivating this cultivation technique, the user can condense a fire cicada clone at each tier. The clone has one-tenth of the main body’s cultivation and all the divine abilities. With every additional transformation, the clone’s strength will increase by one level.]
Actually, when Lu Yuan chose this cultivation technique, he did not fancy the combat strength of the clone.
When he saw this cultivation method, he immediately thought of the special use of ‘clones’.
And this use… It was cultivation!
That’s right, clones could also cultivate!
Different from the ordinary clone technique, the clone of the Fire Cicada Nine Transformations was essentially an avatar.
The principle was similar to the natural ‘golden cicada shedding its shell’.
The Fire Cicada Clone was the ‘shell’ that Lu Yuan had shed.
This ‘shell’ was not as powerful as the main body.
However, the rest, regardless of the divine ability he had mastered or the structure of his body.
They were exactly the same as Lu Yuan’s main body.
Once Lu Yuan recalled his clone, he would be able to obtain all of the other party’s memories, including a certain degree of fatigue.
What was this?
This was the Immortal Hero version of the Shadow Clone Technique!
And when the ‘Shadow Clone Technique’ was combined with ‘skill proficiency’
Gosh, just thinking about this dream-like linkage made Lu Yuan’s water flow turbulent.
Although he hadn’t even started to learn the cultivation technique.
However, Lu Yuan had already arranged the cultivation time for his clone.
As a self-disciplined clone, of course, he had to spend all his time on cultivation!
What is sleep?
Did the clone need to sleep?
Of course not!
With the clone’s age and tier, how could he fall asleep!
Learn, he must learn hard, 24 hours a day!
Although he really wanted to cultivate the ‘Fire Cicade Nine Transformations’ immediately.
However, similar to the dual attribute cultivation technique, the Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique.
The difficulty of cultivating the Fire Cicada Nine Transformations was not low at all.
The requirement for a spiritual root was still acceptable. The most difficult part of cultivating this cultivation technique was that the cultivator needed to possess an ‘Emptiness Realm divine soul’.
The so-called ‘divine soul’ was actually the soul of a cultivator.
As for the cultivation of the soul, it was something that only Core Formation Stage cultivators would begin to cultivate.
When they were in the early stages of cultivation, their souls were not much different from ordinary people’s. They were also very fragile.
Not only was it difficult to cultivate, but if anything went wrong, the consequences would be devastating.
After all, the soul was a person’s core. An injury to the soul was more terrifying than an injury to the physical body. It could not be easily healed.
Thus, even Core Formation stage cultivators were extremely careful when cultivating their divine souls.
It was precisely because of the uniqueness of the divine soul that most cultivators would seriously increase their cultivation in the early stages.
Moreover, in this process, it would subtly nurture and strengthen their divine soul.
They would not easily take the initiative to cultivate his divine soul.
When their cultivation reached the Core Formation Stage, their divine soul would be nurtured to a certain extent.
Only then would they begin to attempt the cultivation of the soul.
And when the divine soul was cultivated to a certain extent, it could combine with the golden core and finally form a special thing… the Nascent Soul.
This was the cultivation process of a cultivator from the Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.
That was why some people said that only cultivators who had reached the Core Formation Stage would attempt to cultivate the divine soul.
It was precisely because of the uniqueness of the divine soul.
As a result, the level of the divine soul of most cultivators was far lower than their own cultivation.
The classification of the divine soul was different from cultivation.
Before ascending, a cultivator’s divine soul only had four levels.
…..
They were namely the ‘Emptiness Realm’, the ‘Real Realm’, the ‘Apotheosis’, and the ‘Wandering God’.
The ‘Real Realm’ corresponded to the Nascent Soul stage, Apotheosis corresponded to the Apotheosis Stage, and the Wandering God realm corresponded to the ascending stage.
Before most cultivators reached the Core Formation Stage, their divine souls could not even reach the ‘Emptiness Realm’.
As for the sign of the Emptiness Stage divine soul, it was the ability to condense one’s divine soul into an illusory outline.
It was impossible to think about achieving this step without a certain amount of soul power as the foundation.
Lu Yuan’s current divine soul strength had yet to reach this realm.
As for the reason why the Fire Cicada Nine Transformations could have the effect of an ‘Extrajudicial incarnation’.
Its principle was that it could allow the cultivator to split out a portion of his divine soul and condense it into a clone.
Therefore, the Fire Cicada Nine Transformations seemed to cultivate ‘fire’ and ‘wood’ dual spiritual roots.
But in reality, it cultivates in three aspects. The ‘fire’,’ wood’, and ‘divine soul’.
Therefore, the greatest difficulty in cultivating the Fire Cicada Nine Transformations was not the fire and wood spiritual roots.
It was the requirement of the ‘Emptiness Realm divine soul’.
The requirement to reach the Emptiness Realm divine soul in the Foundation Establishment Stage was undoubtedly extremely harsh.
Although this cultivation was equally difficult for Lu Yuan, it was not impossible.
This was because he had mastered a special skill that could strengthen his divine soul… the Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique.
As for how to strengthen his divine soul, Lu Yuan had a rough idea after he came to the Devil Slayers Division.
Divine Soul Pill Refinement Technique… He could not just refine his own soul!
After a simple rest, Lu Yuan left the courtyard and walked towards the dungeon of the Devil Slayers Division.
The people imprisoned in this dungeon were all kinds of fiendish demons and monsters that had been captured from all over the Great Xia Kingdom.
His purpose for coming here was very simple, and that was to take the guys inside…. Soul Refining!
