63: Chapter 62 The Eight Clones of the Spirit Annihilation

The heart he had been holding in his chest finally settled, and his tone became much more relaxed.

"Do not worry. That is a divine soul bead, a treasure nurtured by Heaven and Earth. It will not pose any threat to you; on the contrary, it will help you rapidly elevate your Soul Realm."

Afterward, Ling Mie explained the Origin and utility of the divine soul bead to Ling Yuan, detailing its Heaven-Defying ability to absorb Soul Power, purify Soul Essence, and feed it back to its host.

Ling Yuan: "It can absorb Soul Power?"

He thought of Dan Chen; that girl's body possessed the Innate characteristic of absorbing Soul Power.

As for himself, he could be considered to have obtained this ability in an Acquired manner.

To verify the words of Ling Mie, Ling Yuan immediately took some Soul Essence of the Hall of Souls from his storage space.

The moment he had the thought of refining it, the divine soul bead deep within his Soul reacted. A flash of blue light streaked past, instantly sucking that piece of Soul Essence inside.

In just a moment, the divine soul bead finished refining the Soul Essence, and an incomparably pure Soul Essence began to spread from the depths of his Soul, feeding back into Ling Yuan's entire Soul.

This Soul Power not only helped him improve his Soul strength but also slowly solidified his Soul Realm, making the Foundation of his Spirit Realm Great Perfection increasingly stable.

Ling Yuan tried to activate the divine soul bead and discovered that it was completely under his control; he could make it absorb whenever he wanted and stop whenever he wanted.

Ling Yuan felt incredibly exhilarated inside.

For the first time, he felt like he was the Son of Destiny.

A divine soul bead, which might not even be born once in several thousand years, had happened to be encountered by him, and he had even successfully subdued it and integrated it into his Soul.

With this divine soul bead, his future Soul Cultivation would be even faster.

And since his Soul improved quickly, his Realm would Breakthrough quickly...

Overall, this trip to the Spirit Realm had been very fruitful for Ling Yuan.

...

At night, in Ling Yuan's Cultivation room.

Ling Yuan sat cross-legged on a prayer mat with his eyes closed. In the air before him, three phantoms that looked exactly like him were floating; these were the prototypes of his newly condensed Clones.

His Soul had broken through three small Realms, which meant Ling Yuan could split off three more Clones.

Ling Yuan slowly opened his eyes, condensed a few drops of his own essence blood at his fingertips, and flicked them gently. The essence blood landed precisely on the three phantoms.

As the essence blood was infused, the three phantoms began to slowly solidify, growing flesh, blood, and hair bit by bit, gradually gaining physical form.

Ling Yuan, seeking stability, still had these three Clones grow into average-looking faces.

After shutting himself away and working for several days, Ling Yuan finally finished creating the three Clones.

Including his previous first Clone, he now had a total of four Clones.

Watching the four Clones Cultivating desperately according to his instructions, Ling Yuan felt full of heroic spirit.

From now on, he was a man who possessed four times the Cultivation speed.

Oh right, and four lives!

To make them easier to distinguish, Ling Yuan gave the four Clones simple names in order: Ling Da, Ling Er, Ling San, Ling Si.

During the year and a half since entering the Spirit Realm, Ling Da had not slackened and had already Cultivated to the Nine-Star Dou Wang Realm.

Ling Yuan planned to send Ling Da to a remote corner of the world to let him continue to lurk and Cultivate.

In order to ensure he had sufficient self-preservation ability, he would not merge him back.

Anyway, with Ling Er, Ling San, and Ling Si by his side in the future, he would not have to worry about daily Cultivation or merging to increase his Realm.

...

"Dad, I have condensed three more Clones. Let's send one out!"

Ling Yuan did not feel at ease asking outsiders to release his Clones, but he did not need to have such concerns with his own father.

If the father and son released their Clones together, not only would information not be leaked, but the two Clones could also look out for each other.

"Sure. As it happens, I have the same idea."

Although he did not think the Ling Clan would face any danger, there was nothing wrong with having an extra layer of insurance.

Saying this, Ling Mie released his eight Clones.

The eight Clones all uniformly had average, common faces and wore the most plain clothing; if thrown into a crowd, they would not attract anyone's attention at all.

Ling Yuan had not instructed Ling Mie on this point; it was entirely Ling Mie's own idea.

Clones were meant for self-preservation and lurking; the more low-key, the better. Being too eye-catching would instead make them easily exposed and invite unnecessary trouble.

Clearly, the father and son had thought of the same thing.

Ling Yuan did not pay too much attention to the appearance of the Clones; his gaze fell upon the eight Clones, and his attention was entirely on the aura they emitted.

Ling Yuan widened his eyes: "No way, Dad, when did you condense these Clones?"

Ling Yuan was surprised to discover that his father's eight Clones were all uniformly One-Star Dou Huangs.

Ling Mie said calmly: "Ten days ago."

"Ten... ten days?"

Ling Yuan was completely stunned.

Is the Cultivation speed of a Six-Star Dou Sheng this outrageous?

Ten days, from the initial Dou Practitioner Realm, soaring all the way to a One-Star Dou Huang?

This speed was simply inconceivable.

He had originally thought that his Ling Da, who had Cultivated to a Nine-Star Dou Wang, might be able to cover his father's Clones, but now it seemed he had completely overthought it.

At this rate of Breakthrough, it would not take long before his father's eight Clones could reach the Dou Zong or even Dou Zun Realm.

A Dou Practitioner obtaining the Cultivation speed of a Six-Star Dou Sheng was simply too overpowered.

Just taking a casual breath would probably allow them to rise several levels in a row.

Ling Yuan was truly envious; this Cultivation Technique was simply too friendly to people in high Realms.

Later on, there was no need to worry about any Bottlenecks.

In another two years, if the eight Clones broke through to Ban Sheng or even Dou Sheng, his father would just need to merge them, and he would probably be able to charge toward the Seven-Star Dou Sheng Realm, right?

Hiss, so envious!

Of course, he was also happy for his father.

The stronger the Ling Clan, the greater the certainty of resisting the Hun Clan in the future.

Seeing Ling Yuan's envious expression, Ling Mie could not help but laugh out loud. His laughter was heroic and resounded throughout the entire study.

What Ling Yuan could think of, how could he not think of it?

What Ling Yuan thought of, how could he not think of it?

In the future, no matter what Bottleneck he encountered, he could rely on these Clones to Cultivate rapidly, accumulate sufficient Dou Qi, and then, through merging, charge toward a higher Realm in one go.

As long as there were sufficient resources and time, he could completely stack his Realm up bit by bit.

He had originally thought that he had no hope of breaking through to Seven-Star Dou Sheng in this lifetime, but who would have expected...

To have a son with explosive Luck carrying him to success!

Ling Mie's long-dormant heart was unexpectedly reignited by the Opportunity brought by his son, and ambition burned fiercely in the depths of his heart.

He was only a few thousand years old now; it was the prime age for striving.

Seven-Star Dou Sheng was no longer his final pursuit; he wanted to break through to Eight Star Dou Sheng!

Or even Nine-Star!

His own son was truly sent by Heaven to save the Ling Clan!

"Let's go. We will go and hide the Clones right now!"

Ling Mie, with joy showing on his face, took his son and left the Spirit Realm directly with a few spatial shifts.

Ling Mie: "Son, where do you say we should go?"

Ling Mie had always believed in destiny. Ever since witnessing Ling Yuan's Heaven-Defying Luck, he had been completely won over by his son's great Luck.

This time, when placing the Clones, he did not make the decision himself but planned to let Ling Yuan decide; wherever he pointed, they would go.

Perhaps on the way, they would encounter some unexpected surprises.

Ling Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Dad, let's go to the Northwest Continent. That place has scarce resources and very few experts. Placing the Clones there provides strong concealment and is also very safe."

The scarcity of experts was just a pretext; Ling Yuan actually wanted to return to the Northwest Continent to get something.

And by the way, see how that Xiao Yan is developing now.
