Chapter 622: Chapter 412: External Incarnation, Void Abyss Beast Tide (Part 2)
Facing a cultivator of the same cultivation level, Zhong Heng could only achieve this extent at best.
But it was quite extraordinary.
Zhong Heng looked at the remaining people.
Everyone looked at Li Nantian in disbelief.
Li Nantian was originally the Holy Land Master of a Blessed Land, extremely proud, viewing the cultivators of Wanlang Mountains as outlaws.
Yet now, his mind was so easily altered.
[You used the Five Elements Dao Seed to awaken a group of Wood Demons and Stone Demons.]
[You used the Five Elements Dao Seed to control seven Nascent Soul cultivators; they will automatically comply and follow most of your commands.]
[You attempted to use the Dao Seed to refine Qi, establish a foundation, and achieve a Golden Core; you discovered that the Five Elements Dao Seed could completely control the mind of cultivators below your cultivation level, even altering their memories.]
[You continued your experiments; one who received the Dao Seed coagulated a fake Nascent Soul becoming a Fake Nascent Soul Cultivator, theoretically possessing a Nascent Soul life level.]
[You discovered your Five Elements Dao Seed’s effect has weakened.]
[You researched and discovered the strength of the Five Elements Dao Seed’s capability through experimentation.]
[You could identify the flaws of the Five Elements Dao Seed.]
[You felt a desire to fully mend the Five Elements Dao Seed cultivation technique.]
[However, the moment this thought arose, you snuffed it out.]
[This is the open scheme of the Void Devouring Great Demon; any cultivator who encounters the Dao Seed Method would be astounded by the Dao Seed’s incredible abilities.]
[Yet, to further advance the Dao Seed, one needs to contact the Void Devouring Great Demon again.]
[You suppressed this thought and continued your cultivation.]
[In the New Source Era, Year 5571, the Mist Embodied Method was completely deduced.]
[You intensified your efforts to collect the materials required for the Incarnation Technique.]
[In the New Source Era, Year 5572, with the help of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, you finally gathered all the rarest materials needed.]
[In the same year, you began to attempt practicing this technique...]
Inside the secret chamber.
Zhong Heng was continuously pinching seals with his hands.
Thin strands of mist scattered from Zhong Heng’s waist, condensing in front of him.
The mist started to form into a humanoid shape.
Zhong Heng bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood; at the same time, his complexion also turned pale.
The mist began to greedily absorb and devour the essence blood.
Zhong Heng intensified his gaze, using divine sense as a sword to sever a wisp of his soul.
Zhong Heng let out a muffled groan.
Severing a soul, even just a wisp, was more damaging than the essence blood just now.
However, both could slowly recover without damaging the foundation.
In Zhong Heng’s mind, a second perspective started to vaguely appear.
"Mist Embodied Incarnation!"
"Coagulate!"
After Zhong Heng secluded himself for over a hundred days, he finally opened his eyes.
Thin lines of True Essence retracted from Zhong Heng’s body.
A second perspective appeared in Zhong Heng’s mind.
In front of Zhong Heng was a figure identical to him.
He looked at Zhong Heng, Zhong Heng looked at him, the two were like looking into a mirror.
The Incarnation Technique was endlessly wondrous; although Zhong Heng had a second perspective in his mind, he did not yield a wisp of thought to control the other.
Instead, the other held his own consciousness.
The two were considered separate entities, yet shared identical fate.
Zhong Heng smacked his storage bag.
The incarnation received the black robe and wore it.
At this moment, there was no difference between the two.
The only possible difference was in the cultivation.
The incarnation’s cultivation was barren, inferior even to a mundane martial artist.
This is the distinct feature between an innate incarnation and a typical clone.
This is already another main body.
However, both are Zhong Heng; if one falls, the other will replace everything of the deceased and become him anew.
"You..."
The two spoke simultaneously.
Zhong Heng was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head; the two shared thoughts, needing no such exchange.
Zhong Heng then exited seclusion, soon returning, dropping off a few individuals still writhing but tightly bound with Artifact ropes.
"My main body’s cultivation is here; the incarnation’s cultivation until it reaches the main body’s level will have no bottlenecks or obstacles."
"The absorption and conversion rate of True Essence and vitality by the Five Elements Dao Seed from others is too low and too impure; it’s inferior to True Essence cultivated by oneself, but at this moment, it’s the best shortcut for rapidly increasing the incarnation’s cultivation, I can organize his cultivation, allowing him to quickly gain combat strength."
"However, even with this, reaching Nascent Soul... would still take at least sixty years."
The incarnation lacked the River Map Illusion and could not bear an array; its cultivation speed would be slower. Fortunately, Zhong Heng had already elevated his Five Elements Spirit Body to a very high level.
If he had the original Five Spirit Roots, Zhong Heng would struggle considerably.
Yet everything was worth it; the external incarnation from a certain perspective was equivalent to a second life.
[In the New Source Era, Year 5573, you formed an incarnation.]
[You assigned the incarnation a new identity, allowing it to cultivate within the Dao Guide Team.]
[Unexpectedly, the external incarnation provided you another perspective, allowing you to eliminate some self-serving individuals within the Dao Guide Team.]
[In the New Source Era, Year 5581, you completely comprehended Nascent Soul’s cultivation, reaching Nascent Soul Perfection in cultivation.]
[With no further progress, your focus turned to Divinity Transformation.]
[You recalled some information in your mind; there seemed to be a Divinity Transformation Breakthrough Technique called the Mortal Transformation Technique in the world.]
[Unfortunately, in your past life, you only heard of it; you did not know the specifics but understood its core concept.]
[Reflecting on your past journey through the Spiritless Zone, you had a realization.]
[In the New Source Era, Year 5589, the Void Abyss riot finally started.]
[The Void Abysses surrounding the Wanlang Mountains began a massive upheaval.]
[However, with the Dao Guide Team’s early warning, the Cultivation Realm near the Void Abyss was prepared ahead of time.]
[The Dao Guide Team paused the secret realm assaults, focusing all attention on resisting the Void Abyss Beasts.]
[The Dao Guide Team established three major ranking lists of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity corresponding to Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Golden Core, determined by the number and quality of beasts slain; those on the list receive generous rewards.]
[Simultaneously, a points system was initiated; killing Void Abyss Beasts earns points, which can replace Spirit Stones to purchase cultivation resources and even rare items usually unavailable.]
[Foundation Establishment Pill, Gold Condensing Pill, even Nascent Soul Pill and spiritual objects were open; Wanlang Mountains became agitated.]
[Cultivation realms rushed to the battlefield.]
[Some attempted profiteering were mercilessly exterminated by the Dao Guide Team.]
[With support from various cultivation realms, Yanyuan Cultivation Realm, impacted by the first wave of Beast Tide, rapidly stabilized its situation.]
[Countless cultivators were focused on the three major rankings; this was the competition throughout Wanlang Mountains: top ten thousand in Qi Refining, top thousand in Foundation Establishment, top hundred in Golden Core; every cultivator on the list was showered in fame and fortune, with endless prospects.]
[For this, even some newly advanced cultivators chose to weaken their cultivation, aiming to crush opponents at a higher level to gain extensive resources.]
[The scale of the Void Abyss Beast Tide was unprecedented; the expert panel specifically set the Super Beast Tide aside from small, medium, and large beast tide levels to correspond to this tide’s level.]
[Yet under the resistance and even counter-attacks of numerous eager cultivators, the Void Abyss Beasts couldn’t even breach the Yanyuan Cultivation Realm.]
[In past Beast Tide arrivals, the Yanyuan Cultivation Realm would often have to fortify and scavenge, becoming a battleground to resist the Void Abyss Beasts.]
[The Dao Guide Team began mass purchasing Void Abyss Beasts, providing cultivators with another resource acquisition method besides points.]
[Countless cultivators got rich overnight, attaining wealth they might not have in ten years.]
[Meanwhile, some cultivators fell prey to the Void Abyss Beasts.]
[Others eyed their companions, creating varied scenarios amidst the battlefield.]
[Directing under the Dao Guide Team, everything progressed positively.]
[Unbeknownst, the Dao Guide Team had utterly become the leader of Wanlang Mountains.]
[And you, assumed control of the Dao Guide Team, guiding the entirety of Wanlang Mountains.]
