474: Millions of clones

“My cultivation is just one Realm stronger than those Dao Lords,” Wu Ning said with a faint smile.

“One Realm stronger than a Dao Lord…”

Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian were shaken. What Realm was stronger than a Dao Lord?

In their previous understanding, a Dao Lord Great Power was already the strongest existence in the world, high above, unrivaled. Being stronger than a Dao Lord was beyond their comprehension.

“The Great Dao is long, and Cultivation has no end. You two Cultivate well; in the future, there might be a chance to advance to the Dao Domain,” Wu Ning said softly, patting their shoulders.

The two showed a bitter smile.

They both knew their limits. What Dao Lord Great Power was too far away. They would be content if they could Cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm in the future.

“Young Master, your cultivation is so high, you must have been to many places and know much more than us. Tell us what the Myriad Realms are like…”

The two immediately began to ask for guidance.

“Come, let’s drink and talk,” Wu Ning handed each of them a jar of top-grade immortal wine brewed from immortal fruits.

It didn't intoxicate but was greatly beneficial for cultivation.

Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian both knew that what Wu Ning took out was no ordinary item. They treasured it immensely, carefully opening it. Instantly, a refreshing, rich aroma of wine wafted out. Taking a sip, they immediately felt a vast surge of energy pour down their throats into their abdomens, then spread throughout their limbs and bones.

“Hiss, what terrifying energy!”

Wu Ning smiled, then began to briefly explain the power structure of the Myriad Realms, including the Human Race, God Race, Demon Race, Yao Race, and other dominant races.

There were also forces like the Supreme Ancestral Court, Archaic Divine Court, Tian Xu Divine Kingdom, Mount Sumeru Buddhist Court, and Chaos Academy.

As he slowly spoke, a magnificent and prosperous vast world seemed to slowly unfold before them.

The two listened, mesmerized, gaining a clear understanding of the Myriad Realms for the first time.

Billions of races stood tall, endless beings contended for passage. Since the beginning of Chaos, countless ancient and eternal supreme Dao traditions ruled the Myriad Realms, and there were endless supreme Great Powers standing at the pinnacle of the Myriad Realms, observing the changing winds and clouds of the Myriad Realms, existing eternally.

Countless Prodigies from various races vied on the Dao path, and peerless Prodigies emerged continuously like bamboo shoots after rain, shining like brilliant stars, leaving behind many widely circulated tales.

This grand era, with its myriad phenomena, was truly splendid and captivating.

Afterward, Wu Ning took the opportunity to explain the various Realms of the Immortal Dao Domain to them, starting from True Immortal and going up to the Immortal Emperor Realm. The two gained enlightenment and immediately fell into an Epiphany.

They sat cross-legged on the spot, their eyes closed, emitting waves of profound aura.

Although this Epiphany would not cause their cultivation to instantly skyrocket, it would deepen their comprehension of the Great Dao, clarify their future direction, and have unimaginable benefits for their future ascension to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

At the same time, Wu Ning divided the Dao Lord Origin he had just obtained into two, quietly injecting them into their bodies.

This would allow them to gradually release it during their future Cultivation, rapidly enhancing their cultivation.

Only these two old friends remained; Wu Ning hoped they could go further.

The years were desolate; being unrivaled was too lonely.

When he stood at the pinnacle of the Myriad Realms in the future, looking back, he hoped to still see the figures of his old friends.

…

Wu Ning stayed in the Saint Serene Immortal World for nearly ten years before leaving.

He had asked Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian if they wished to leave this world with him, but they refused.

The two deeply knew that with their strength and Realm, they were simply not from the same world as Wu Ning. They could not interfere in the world of Great Power experts.

It was more comfortable to stay in the Tai Xu Immortal Palace.

They had Cultivated here for millions of years, already considering it their home, and the friends they had made in their sect over those millions of years were not something they could easily abandon.

Moreover, after millions of years of hardship, the Tai Xu Immortal Palace was on the verge of rising. If they left now, wouldn't all their previous suffering have been in vain?

Even if following Wu Ning would bring them more benefits, perhaps even unimaginable benefits, they still cherished everything they had gained through their own efforts more.

Wu Ning was not surprised by this. It was no longer the time when he first left Great Jin; they all had their own different lives.

It was impossible for them to constantly follow him as they did before.

With that Dao Lord Origin, Wu Ning did not give them more resources, but he gave them many top-grade immortal wines and immortal teas, as well as some top-tier ingredients.

For their Realm, these could be considered rare, top-tier Cultivation resources.

In addition, he gave each of them a life-saving trump card.

It didn't matter if their Cultivation was slow or their cultivation was a bit lacking; safety was the most important thing.

…

Returning to his clan from the Saint Serene Immortal World.

Wu Ning was deeply moved by this experience of revisiting an old place and meeting old friends.

Some Great Daos that had already reached Perfection gained new insights.

He immediately understood that his journey had been too smooth, and he had experienced too little.

His understanding of many Origin Great Daos was basically derived from the System, as well as the insights of predecessors, and a literal imitation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

What was missing was his own personal insights.

To touch the Dominator Realm, one needed to walk one's own Dao.

After much deliberation, Wu Ning spent a hundred years creating a book called “Myriad Transformation Dao Scripture.”

He then spent a large amount of Origin to split off a million Clones.

He sent all these million Clones to the Myriad Realms, as well as numerous Middle Thousand Worlds and Minor Thousand Worlds, to experience various tribulations and different lives on his behalf.

The vast Mortal World, the coexistence of good and evil, love and hate, separation, birth, aging, sickness, death, and Reincarnation—all offered different insights.

The cultivation of these million Clones varied, from ordinary Mortals to Dao Lords, and their talents also differed, with some being peerless Prodigies and others being Cultivation failures.

They also had different appearances.

They could Cultivate on their own, like independent lives, and none of them knew of the main body's existence.

Wu Ning spent several hundred years sending them to different worlds, giving them different memories, and starting their respective different lives.

After a powerful Clone above the Immortal Emperor Realm died, it would immediately return with all its insights. Weaker Clones might constantly undergo Reincarnation, growing to a certain extent before returning, or waiting for the main body to personally retrieve them.

With these million Clones entering the world to Cultivate on his behalf, enduring worldly tribulations, and seeking his own Dao.

Wu Ning's main body also did not remain idle. He once again traveled the Myriad Realms with his female companions, visiting worlds he had never been to before, cultivating during his travels, and signing in everywhere.

Occasionally, he would also Cultivate the “Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Creation Heart Sutra” with Luo Wuyou, Fairy Snow Wuxia, and Fairy Wind Caiwei, their spirits and bodies uniting, jointly comprehending the supreme Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
