Chapter 415 - 415 Secret of the Cloning Technique
415 Secret of the Cloning Technique
The fleeing Demon Warriors were both fast and slow. Song Shi followed them for a while before suddenly accelerating. He arrived at the front and exploded at the Demon Saint Annihilation.
Boom!
The spatial passageway exploded, and a portion of the Demon Warriors were shattered on the spot. Those who ran slower were blocked by the destruction happening.
Despair appeared on their faces.
The path back had been cut off, and the chances of survival were slim.
Especially when they saw Song Shi appear in front of them with a rope, all the demons’ faces turned gloomy.
In the Imperial City, Emperor Qian looked at the spatial rift. “Such a powerful demon was chased away just like that?”
Just as he felt that it was a little unreal, the entire spatial crack collapsed with a bang, releasing a destructive fire.
“Your Majesty, be careful!”
The elder at the side reminded, but he realized that the shock wave only released a little power before dissipating. Most of it was left in the spatial turbulence and did not surge out much.
“It’s settled!”
Song Shi appeared out of thin air and glanced at the Heavenly Prison, which had been in ruins after the short battle. He suddenly became even more afraid of the demons now.
Those guys were too high-level. They didn’t need many of them to turn this place upside down.
“I’ve already destroyed the passageway. It’s very difficult to pass through if there is no restoration. There’s no need to worry about demons coming over for the time being.”
Song Shi said helplessly. In order to avoid potential future dangers, he chose the stupidest and simplest method.
He had directly destroyed the passageway between the planes and completely cut off the connection between the two worlds.
The negative effect of this was that the Boundless Continent lacked an Upper Realm to go to. Now, other than the Netherworld Realm, which was relatively easy to go to, everything else was rather difficult.
“This is good. We don’t cultivate the demonic path. It’s better not to leave this pathway open.”
Emperor Qian did not care at all. In the past, they did not have the ability to destroy the passageway between planes. What Song Shi did happened to solve their problem at the root.
Some cultivators who planned to go to the Heavenly Demon World if they could not go to the Black Spirit Realm did not look too happy, but they did not dare to say anything.
Song Shi saw the reaction of some people and said indifferently, “The Heavenly Demon World is not suitable for the living beings of my world. There’s no need to think about this path. I will think of a way to open a passageway to the Black Spirit Realm.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Since Song Shi could destroy the spatial passageway, it might mean that he could not open a passageway. When the time came, it would be easier for them to enter the Black Spirit Realm.
Thinking of this, they were filled with anticipation.
“That’s all. Yue’er, Wu Xi, let’s go.”
Song Shi didn’t say anything else. He beckoned Yao Yue and Wu Xi to leave.
“Son-in-law, you’ve worked hard for a while. Have a meal before leaving. Wu Xi hasn’t returned to her maiden home for a long time.”
Emperor Qian hurriedly urged him to stay.
Thinking of his cloning technique, Song Shi glanced at Wu Xi and nodded. “Alright, let’s stay for two days before leaving.”
Qian Wuji quickly arranged for people to prepare the things and Wu Xi happily went to see her family.
Song Shi said, “Father-in-law, you are already a Soul Transformation cultivator, right? Do you have a clone?”
“I’m cultivating it.”
Emperor Qian knew that Song Shi also had thoughts about cloning. He said, “Looks like my son-in-law is going to start cultivating his clone too. It’s just that the materials for making the clone are difficult to find. What does my son-in-law have in mind to make his?”
“Wood, I guess.”
Song Shi stated his plan.
He still had a piece of Evil Warding Golden Bamboo that he had no use for. He could use it to cultivate his clone.
“Wood doesn’t match your attributes.”
Emperor Qian suggested, “It’s best if you choose materials that have the same Stats or can coexist. Otherwise, the strength that your clone can unleash will be very limited.”
“A puppet should be suitable, right? It can house various Stats.”
Song Shi did not know how clones were cultivated.
“Yes, but in fact, the best is still a body of flesh and blood. Your soul has to be nurtured by flesh and blood Essence Qi. Otherwise, your Soul Clone will gradually weaken.”
At this point, Emperor Qian shook his head again. “Unfortunately, flesh and blood have resistance. It’s very difficult to find a suitable one.”
“What if I split a part of my own flesh and blood?”
Song Shi raised a possibility because the ideal state of the Blood Transformation Divine Technique he cultivated was to be able to be reborn from a drop of blood.
“Yes, but there’s also a problem.”
Emperor Qian reminded, “If the flesh, blood, and soul of a clone are the same as the main body, once an accident happens, such as your main body being injured or your clone growing too quickly, it’s very likely that your main body will become a clone.”
“…”
Song Shi was a little speechless.
“In other words, my clone will start to stray from my control?”
Song Shi’s expression changed slightly. He did not know much about cloning techniques. As the ruler of a country, Emperor Qian definitely had a deeper foundation than him and knew some secrets.
“If the thoughts are connected, the main body and the clone will be multitasking simultaneously. However, if the clone is isolated from the main body, after a long time, they will definitely start to have different thoughts.”
Emperor Qian looked at Song Shi. “I know that you might be able to cultivate Blood Transformation Technique, but if you split your origin to cultivate your clone, try not to be isolated from it.”
“Understood!”
Song Shi nodded. He was actually a little worried when he heard this.
If he could survive, what about his clone?
He secretly asked the System, “Will my clone not die?”
“The host’s clone is not immortal.”
The system’s answer made Song Shi heave a sigh of relief.
Since his clone would die, his main body would be the only one that is immortal. There would be no transference of this ability.
He could walk this path without worry, but he had yet to truly cultivate to the mastery level of Blood Transformation Technique.
In the end, the Blood Transformation Technique level he was at was still not enough. After cultivating to this point, he could only strengthen his blood qi and devour the flesh and blood origin of others, but he could not achieve Cloning through the Blood Transformation Technique.
For the time being, he could only use external objects to cultivate his clone and have another backup plan.
He followed Emperor Qian into the palace. As he attended the banquet held, he discussed the experience of cultivating a clone with the elders present.
Emperor Qian had actually just started cultivating his clone as well hence he called the two elders over to discuss further.
Yao Yue also joined in, and the few of them chatted while eating. In the blink of an eye, more than half a day had passed.
The last elder concluded, “The clone can give us an additional chance to live and we hence have more backup for dangerous situations, but there are also disadvantages. That is, if we split the origin, our cultivation will be affected.”
Another person echoed, “Moreover, it will consume more resources. Once it’s destroyed, the main body will also be severely injured. Apart from that, when there’s a huge bottleneck, you have to fuse your clone again to break through. It’s not suitable for everyone, so many cultivators don’t cultivate clones.”
“I understand. Thank you for your guidance. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge.”
Song Shi cupped his fists. “I’ll give it a try now. Wu Xi, you can stay here for a few more days.”
With that, he and Yao Yue bade farewell and left.
When only Emperor Qian and the two elders were left, Emperor Qian suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, “Isn’t my son-in-law the reincarnation of an immortal? Why doesn’t he even know the situation of the cloning technique?”
The two elders’ expressions changed. They looked at each other in confusion.
“Perhaps he didn’t walk the Golden Core Great Dao in his previous life? He’s similar to most demons and doesn’t cultivate clones?”
“It’s also possible that he’s a natural immortal and doesn’t need to experience this at all.”
Although the two of them were guessing, they felt that what they said was not very accurate.
Emperor Qian smiled. “Why should we care so much? We just have to interact more with him. To enjoy the benefits that he can give us. Since he can become an immortal, as long as he is willing to brings us along, it will be much easier.”
“Fair enough.”
The two elders strongly agreed.
