156: Taoist clone

Could this kid have transcended?

How does he look even more mysterious than the Young Sect Leader of their Dongming Sect?

For a moment, Gu Wenzhao and Fan Yanbo felt like they had a hundred thousand questions bottled up, but when the words reached their mouths, they ultimately turned into a single reprimand: "Kid, it's good to have high aspirations, but for such a major event as forming an Immortal Embryo, why didn't you tell this old man in advance?"

Although this Heavenly Intent Dao Tribulation is unlike other Yin God and Yang God Heavenly Tribulations where external forces cannot interfere at all, they could at least offer some advice, couldn't they?

What face would they have to return to the Dongming Sect if something went wrong?

They would likely be verbally attacked and criticized by the Elders and Sect Leaders of the Dongming Sect, and this accusation wouldn't be cleared for a thousand years.

"This Disciple was just curious about the scenery beyond the nine-inch-nine ultimate Dao Foundation, so I just tried it casually," Lu Chen said, rubbing his hands awkwardly.

'Good heavens, you just tried it casually and ended up with an Immortal Embryo?'

The two Protectors were choked by a belly full of questions, but this kid wasn't human, there was nothing worth asking.

Even if they wanted to ask, they probably wouldn't get anything out of him; this kid's mouth was sealed, and they couldn't exactly torture him.

"The aura on your body is a bit frightening, rein it in," Protector Fan reminded him irritably.

No kidding, if they hadn't already known that Lu Chen was just entering the Dao Infant Realm, this visible yet imperceptible, mysterious aura that seemed to leap out of heaven and earth and transcend Samsara, could potentially confuse even big shots who surpassed the Yang Spirit Realm.

Lu Chen honestly complied, restraining his aura, appearing only like an ordinary Early Dao Infant Realm cultivator.

"Also, don't mention the matter of forming the Immortal Embryo to outsiders. This old man will send a message to the Ancestral Land, and if nothing unexpected happens, a Great Power should come from the Ancestral Land to take you as a Disciple," Protector Gu said, his eyes filled with complexity and emotion.

They couldn't figure out how such a freak who could form an Immortal Embryo like Lu Chen could emerge from a gradually declining place like the Azure Underworld.

Lu Chen was surprised: "But this Disciple has already become a Disciple of the Third Elder..."

Fan Yanbo scoffed: "Old Three is nothing. With his seniority, he wouldn't even qualify as a grand-Disciple in the Ancestral Land."

Lu Chen gave an awkward smile and didn't respond.

After all, the Third Elder was also his Master and treated him quite well. Protector Fan could say it, Protector Gu could say it, but only he couldn't.

But speaking of which, the Third Elder's seniority being so low in the Ancestral Land was truly something Lu Chen hadn't expected.

In the Dongming Sect, the Third Elder's seniority was second only to those Supreme Elders who cultivated in seclusion, almost among the highest in the Dongming Sect. Who would have thought he would be so insignificant in the Ancestral Land? However, this also demonstrated the terrifying aspect of the Ancestral Land.

Yang God Great Cultivators couldn't even qualify as grand-Disciples in the Ancestral Land, so how terrifying must the grand-Disciples be?

And how astonishing must those above the grand-Disciple generation and the Old Ancestors of the highest seniority be?

No wonder even the hegemonic great sects in the Starry Sky, like the Zi Ji Palace, were not regarded highly by the Ancestral Land.

The Void-Breaching Boat once again turned into a golden light and traveled through the Void.

The two Protectors couldn't help but cast their gaze upon Lu Chen from time to time; the more they looked, the more complex their feelings became.

This kid, how could he just...

...be so monstrous?

Also, what exactly is this kid's Natal Spirit Treasure?

Lu Chen didn't pay attention to the various questions in the minds of the two Protectors. He stopped taking pills and just quietly held onto the spiritual stones, beginning to stabilize his Dao Embryo cultivation while also sensing the changes in the Dao Infant Realm.

During this process, Lu Chen nurtured the remaining twenty-five Dao Infant Realm Refined Corpses into Five Elements Dao Soldiers, but it was still not enough to fill the gap for the eighty newly added Dao Soldiers.

So Lu Chen wasn't picky. He selected fifty-five from over a hundred Xuan Fa Realm Refined Corpses and nurtured them into Golden Armor Dao Soldiers. The remaining Xuan Fa Realm Refined Corpses were fed to two of the newly nurtured Golden Armor Dao Soldiers, instantly upgrading them into Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

At this point, his total number of Dao Soldiers reached an impressive three hundred and six.

Half a month later, seven Five Elements Dao Soldiers that had devoured Yin Gods like the Lin Yuan Sect Master, the Crown Prince Preceptor's Golden Armor Divine General, and Qian Changsheng's Clone successfully advanced to Yin God Dao Soldiers, causing his Body Refinement cultivation to make a small advancement.

At the same time, his Divine Travel Dao Soldiers increased from twenty-eight to thirty-five.

Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to the other six newly advanced Divine Travel Dao Soldiers, but he was particularly interested in the one that had devoured the Great Qian Crown Prince Qian Changsheng's Clone.

Because that was very likely a part of Qian Changsheng's Natal Spirit Treasure.

And Natal Spirit Treasures are often accompanied by incredible abilities.

Lu Chen really wanted to know what was special about Qian Changsheng's Natal Spirit Treasure.

In an instant, Lu Chen's consciousness sank into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin and merged into the newly advanced Divine Travel Dao Soldier.

"Spirit God... Divine Power 'Tenfold Spirit Body'... Incomplete..."

After a long while, Lu Chen finally recovered from his surprise.

This Qian Changsheng, is formidable, truly formidable!

From this Dao Soldier, Lu Chen seemed to see Qian Changsheng's Natal Spirit Treasure. It was a mysterious divine statue that could split into ten Spirit Gods, and within it was even contained a Divine Power, the 'Tenfold Spirit Body'. If cultivated to mastery, it could also split into ten spirit bodies, each possessing eighty percent of the main body's strength.

In other words, if Qian Changsheng could fully cultivate this Divine Power, combined with his Natal Spirit Treasure, he alone could manifest twenty Clones.

With such strength, who could be his opponent at the same Realm?

Of course, excluding Lu Chen. He had more Dao Soldiers; a mere twenty Clones were not enough to even look at in front of him.

Furthermore, splitting off Clones required consuming the main body's magic power, which further reduced its effectiveness for Lu Chen.

"Unfortunately, I only got an incomplete Spirit God!" Lu Chen sighed.

This Divine Travel Dao Soldier had only devoured one of Qian Changsheng's Spirit Gods, so the abilities it gained were severely incomplete!

That Divine Power, the 'Tenfold Spirit Body', was even more incomplete than incomplete, making it impossible to cultivate at all.

"Let's give it a try," Lu Chen thought.

The Dao Soldier that had devoured Qian Changsheng's Spirit God immediately shook its body, and in an instant, another Dao Soldier identical to it walked out from its form. However, its strength was only eighty percent of the main body's, and it also possessed the strength and all the abilities of a Divine Travel Dao Soldier.

"This Qian Changsheng's cultivation is probably already comparable to a Yang God!"

Lu Chen was secretly startled.

He clearly remembered that Qian Changsheng's Spirit God had casually attacked and easily crushed his two Jiaolong Divine Walking Dao Soldiers, knocking them down from the heavens into the dust.

Later, it took twenty Divine Travel Dao Soldiers forming the Twenty-Four Constellation Greedy Wolf Battle Formation to instantly kill him.

If previously he had only vaguely perceived Qian Changsheng's strength, then after this Dao Soldier devoured Qian Changsheng's Spirit God, Lu Chen gained an extremely clear understanding of Qian Changsheng's strength.

Strong, terrifyingly strong.

His Realm wasn't Yang God, but his strength was already comparable to a Yang God.

This was just talking about the Spirit God split from his Natal Spirit Treasure, not his main body.

Take this Divine Travel Dao Soldier, for example. Even though it hasn't become a Wind and Thunder Dao Soldier yet, it possesses strength comparable to the Yang Spirit Realm.

Its strength is far beyond what other Divine Travel Dao Soldiers can compare to. Even the Clone it splits off is not inferior to the other Divine Travel Dao Soldiers, and is even slightly stronger.

It's not hard to imagine how powerful Qian Changsheng's main body must be.

If he released all his Spirit Gods, and after using the 'Tenfold Spirit Body', how powerful would he be!

Oh, right, now Qian Changsheng's Natal Spirit Treasure probably can't split into ten Spirit Gods anymore, because one was devoured by his Dao Soldier.
