Long Xuan couldn't help but sigh. The idea of allowing clones to assist the original body in practice was incredibly innovative. Who could conceive such a divine concept? Long Xuan admired the creator, searching carefully for the author's name on the cover.
Finally, he found a line of text in the lower right corner:
- Yaoguang Empress
"A woman?" Long Xuan racked his brain but realized he knew nothing about this person as a minor casual cultivator with limited experience.
He was certain this individual would go down in history as a master. Long Xuan dismissed the thought. He had already decided to adopt this type of magical power for his "Ten Absolute Scriptures."
Of course, he wouldn't simply copy it but use it as a pure reference.
The "Sun and Moon Heart Sutra" can condense three external clones: Sun, Moon, and Star. Could his "Ten Absolute Scriptures" possibly condense five external clones of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth?
With two additional clones compared to the original, and double the cultivation speed, it might even surpass it. The Seven Sons of Quanzhen could form the Tiangang Beidou Formation, while his five-element clones might form the Tiangang Five-element Formation, potentially surpassing the original.
Each of the five clones would specialize in a type of mutant spiritual power, returning their cultivation results to him. Thus, his original body wouldn't need to practice and could focus on research and living a relaxed life.
Long Xuan smiled contentedly and continued reading.
It was unfortunate that the "Sun and Moon Heart Sutra" was incomplete, lacking both the front and back sections. Despite its partial middle content, it provided ample reference for him.
Next, Long Xuan embarked on the arduous task of mastering the magical power chapter of the "Ten Absolute Scriptures." Condensing a clone was a profound skill that initially overwhelmed him. However, he decided to plagiarize since many things in the world could be replicated.
Fortunately, the golden finger could prompt errors. If the technique's progress vanished, it meant adding that paragraph was incorrect. He'd delete it and keep guessing until the progress increased.
Days and nights passed tirelessly, and after a year of effort, Long Xuan successfully mastered the first level of the "Ten Absolute Scriptures." This marked the completion of the first level, albeit through a method he didn't comprehend yet managed to create.
At this moment, the technique's progress reached 12.5%, excluding the numerous supporting spiritual techniques not included in the statistics.
This percentage represented one eighth, indicating the technique had eight levels in total, with high potential for cultivation. Long Xuan was quite satisfied.
The first level of the "Ten Absolute Scriptures" focused on the Gathering Spirit Stage, while the second level aimed for the Marrow Cleansing Stage. Long Xuan knew he still had a long way to reach the latter, so he decided to take a short vacation.
Stretching lazily, Long Xuan relaxed at his home in Dashi Village, having plundered the Qian family's treasure house. He glanced at the quintuplets practicing with closed eyes, feeling satisfied.
These five identical individuals, carved as if from the same mold, were like brothers to him, though they were his clones.
Each specialized in a mutant spiritual power, diligently cultivating and returning results to him. With five times the cultivation speed, Long Xuan enjoyed rapid progress without effort.
This felt like cheating, but he reveled in it. Despite the enhancement, his cultivation speed still lagged behind natural geniuses due to the Ten Absolute Body's unique nature.
Nevertheless, combined with the Hundred Flowers Pill, his speed matched the world's average. Thus, his tailored practice method for the Ten Absolute Body was a complete success.
Long Xuan couldn't contain his excitement. This achievement alone would ensure his fame in history, regardless of future outcomes.
"Now that the technique is mastered, it's time to enhance combat effectiveness," Long Xuan thought, pondering his next steps.
He didn't rush into the second level of the Ten Absolute Scriptures, unnecessary until he reached the Marrow Cleansing Stage. Instead, he focused on improving his combat skills, currently limited to the Five Elements Jade and Original Realm.
The latter had significant restrictions; creating a world required time, incompatible with instant battles. Yet, given the chance, he'd be invincible.
