Chapter 36: Martial Arts Clone
On this day, Meng Bai was reading a book titled "On How to Protect Your Own Soul" in the library.
"Boy, are you studying soul magic?" an old voice came.
Meng Bai looked up, saluted and said, "Greetings, Elder Xiao."
The person who came was the outer sect elder Xiao An.
Elder Xiao An and Meng Bai had met several times.
Now Elder Xiao An still has an impression of Meng Bai, so he has a little good impression of Meng Bai.
"I am slightly interested in the art of soul, so I want to create a soul art of my own."
Elder Xiao An praised: "What a good ambition."
Then Elder Xiao An said, "There are not many people like you who can concentrate on practicing magic in this era. Everyone is eager to improve their cultivation."
There is nothing wrong with improving one's cultivation, but during the golden age of Taixu Sect, many predecessors created excellent techniques when they were at a low level, leaving a foundation for Taixu Sect.
For example, the art of bringing about rain through spring breeze was created by a cultivator who had established his foundation ten thousand years ago. The emergence of the art of bringing about rain through spring breeze greatly increased the output of spiritual fields.
In today's world, new techniques do not appear frequently. One reason is that the techniques of the immortal cultivation world have reached a bottleneck period. The other reason is that the spiritual energy of the world is thinner today than it was ten thousand years ago, so everyone spends more time improving their cultivation.
Then Elder Xiao An gave Meng Bai a jade slip.
"This jade slip records my views on the way of the soul. I hope it will be helpful to you."
After Meng Bai received the jade slip, he bowed to Elder Xiao An in ecstasy: "Thank you for your guidance, Elder."
A Jindan cultivator's insights into the way of the soul are extremely valuable, even if the cultivator is not proficient in the way of the soul.
Elder Xiao An smiled and said, "I look forward to the day when you become the mainstay of the Taixu Sect."
Then Elder Xiao An went to the second floor of the library.
The second floor of the library has the books that Elder Xiao An needs.
However, the second floor of the library is only open to outer sect deacons and elders, and outer sect disciples are not allowed to go up.
With Elder Xiao An's insights into the soul, Meng Bai did not stay in the library and went straight back to the cabin to study it carefully.
Three years later,
In the dream,
The lake courtyard,
Meng Bai suddenly opened his eyes and laughed.
"Successful, finally successful!"
After three years of contemplation, Meng Bai figured out the art of soul attack, and it was a sword technique.
Shanhai Yanxin Sword!
This move does not cut the body, but only the soul.
"It's a pity that this move is still a long way from becoming a supernatural power." Meng Bai said regretfully.
However, the power of this move is not weak. With the blessing of the sword intent of mountains and seas, it can also have an impact on the spiritual cultivators.
The art of attacking souls has been mastered, and the next step is the art of splitting one's body.
Meng Bai did not forget this.
In the spiritless land, Meng Bai would have to take action personally if he encountered any trouble, and his clone would be of no help at all.
Meng Bai's requirements for the art of clone are not high. As long as he can reach the late stage of Qi Refining, many trivial matters can be left to the clone.
Meng Bai came to the outer gate library again.
This time Meng Bai came here to find the art of splitting himself.
As one of the methods for cultivators to preserve their lives, clones are much more numerous in the outer sect's library than soul-attacking techniques.
However, the effect of the clone is not very good. Usually the clone is just like an ordinary person, and the better ones have the cultivation level of Qi Refining.
In this way, Meng Bai stayed in the library for a year, during which time he read countless books on the art of clones.
this day,
Meng Bai stretched and walked out of the library.
"The theory of the method of splitting bodies has been basically studied thoroughly. Next, it is time to practice it in dreams."
Time flies like an arrow.
Soon another year has passed.
During this year, Meng Bai not only practiced but also tried to comprehend the method of splitting himself.
in a dream,
A courtyard in the lake.
Meng Bai sat in the courtyard with a sad face.
"It still doesn't work. Even if I add a ray of soul essence, the clone I created can only be at the third level of Qi Refining at most."
The third level of Qi Refining is no different to Meng Bai than being an ordinary person.
"It's still a problem of spiritual roots. The clone I created has no spiritual roots and cannot practice. Even if I forcefully infuse spiritual energy into it, it can only reach the third level of Qi Refining."
Meng Bai sighed.
Every human being who is capable of cultivation has spiritual roots. Without spiritual roots, there is no chance of becoming an immortal and one cannot cultivate.
Meng Bai didn't know exactly what spiritual roots were. He only knew that he had spiritual roots, but the clone he created did not have them.
"Hey~"
Just when Meng Bai was about to give up, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Since the clone cannot practice immortality, then practice martial arts!"
Martial arts do not require any spiritual roots, and the conditions for cultivation are much fewer than those for cultivating immortals.
With the idea in mind, Meng Bai immediately created an avatar that could practice martial arts.
During the Qi training period, Meng Bai studied worldly martial arts, and when he was in Qingquan Village, he created the "Martial Arts Classics" in order to teach Hu Zi. Now he can use it to practice directly.
In the initial stage of practice, martial arts requires a large amount of flesh and blood to replenish qi and blood.
This is not a problem at all in a dream.
Meng Bai can materialize a lot of meat with just a thought.
In this way, Meng Bai himself practiced the way of immortality in his dreams, and his clone practiced the way of martial arts in his dreams.
A month later,
The clone Meng Bai entered the realm of third-rate martial arts.
It is equivalent to the initial stage of Qi Refining.
Next, Meng Bai is going to make an attempt.
In an instant, Meng Bai woke up from his dream.
At the same time, the clone Meng Bai also appeared out of thin air beside Meng Bai, with third-rate martial arts skills.
Meng Bai's face lit up with joy.
"It really works. The clone can bring the cultivation in the dream into reality just like the original body."
Meng Bai entered and exited dreams many times to confirm this fact.
Afterwards, Meng Bai tried to make the clone disappear.
After the clone dies in reality, it will not appear in dreams and can only be recreated.
Meng Bai smiled slightly: "I was created to handle trivial matters on my behalf. It is a pleasant surprise that I can practice martial arts. This can also be regarded as a method of incarnation."
Meng Bai didn't feel bad about losing a third-rate martial arts clone. It would only take him a month to cultivate again.
In this way, Meng Bai once again created a clone in his dream.
At the same time, Meng Bai wondered if he could create multiple clones to practice together, so that he could create a martial arts army.
But then Meng Bai rejected this idea.
Creating an avatar requires a wisp of soul and spirit. When the clone dies, as long as it is not attacked by the soul, the soul and spirit will return to the original body. However, Meng Bai cannot create multiple clones at once.
With Meng Bai's current spiritual strength, it is safest to separate out a strand of his soul essence. Separating out too much will easily cause the soul to become unstable and shake the foundation.
Don't think about it.
Meng Bai's original body and clone began to practice diligently.
Three years later,
On this day, Meng Bai was practicing in his dream when suddenly a errand disciple knocked on the door of Meng Bai's hut.
