Each incarnation is independent of each other. When it is born, it is no different from a mortal, but it can become stronger through practice, and its skills are not limited by the original body.
In an emergency, the weak incarnation can communicate with the real body through secret methods, thereby borrowing powerful power.
It is worth noting that although the avatar can possess the combat power of the original body, it is still burning itself in exchange for power. Therefore, the weaker the avatar's strength, the shorter the duration of the borrowed strength.
Moreover, the consequences of using the secret method are quite serious, and it will lead to the death of the external incarnation, so it can only be used as an emergency measure.
"It seems like it's coming." Lu Zhongmo thought.
In his opinion, external incarnation is similar to the clone technique, but it avoids the shortcomings of the clone's weak combat power and low growth limit. The price is that the training cost is high, the incarnation is too difficult to copy, and it becomes a consumable in times of crisis.
As he continued to read, Lu Zhong's breath suddenly suffocated.
If you want to become stronger, you can choose to fuse each incarnation to achieve the effect of improving your cultivation.
If this description is true, then the growth rate of his cultivation will no longer be as slow as it is now, and will double its previous growth. This is a milestone for a monk with four spiritual roots qualifications.
In this way, not only Yuanying has hope.
Even the transformation of gods that was originally out of reach can be seen at a glance!
Suppressing his excitement, he continued reading.
"The external incarnation has so many benefits, what's the price?" Lu Zhong didn't believe that such a heaven-defying magical power would have no price at all.
This is mentioned emphatically in the magical power.
After practicing the external incarnation, you cannot sit back and relax. The external incarnation formed by the split soul has a close connection with the original body, and through this connection, it can even be traced back to the original body.
Therefore, once the incarnation falls into the hands of the enemy, it will have unpredictable consequences.
"So, I need to pay more attention to every move of the incarnation. If something goes wrong, I must immediately cut off all contact." Lu Zhong thought to himself.
I have to say that this is a huge shortcoming.
But there are gains and there are losses.
If you want the many benefits of incarnation, you have to accept the possible consequences.
But overall, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.
nothing to say.
practice!
Opening the Scroll of Heaven, Lu Zhong discovered that if he wanted to divide the soul, he needed to gather a necessary material - the soul. This thing is the essence of the soul, which exists in the souls of all the spirits in the world and is necessary to form the divided soul.
.
Not only is it necessary to separate the soul, but a large amount of soul is also required when constructing the body of the incarnation later.
After reading it carefully, the method to obtain the soul is soul forging.
The soul forging technique is extremely painful during the execution, but it has a very subtle effect of enhancing spiritual consciousness. The process will produce a few soul fragments, which can be fused into the required soul after a few times.
"It seems that I, the ancestor of the Bihai Sect, can provide another benefit to my disciples." Lu Zhong decided that when he returns to the Bihai Sect, he will list this technique as a secret technique that must be practiced by the disciples in the sect.
In return, it is reasonable for the disciples to hand over soul fragments in a quantitative manner.
…
Bihai Sect, Chuan Gong Hall.
There are huge crowds of people at this moment.
After receiving the urgent order from the leader, all Bihai Sect disciples who have not yet gone out to practice, as well as all the officials in the sect, must go to the Chuan Gong Hall to receive the secret technique.
Inside the Chuan Gong Hall.
Lu Baokui, the head of general affairs, was gathering with two other foundation-building deacons. One of them was sitting cross-legged on the ground, a female nun who looked like a hibiscus flower in full bloom.
At this moment, sweat was pouring from her forehead, her eyes were closed tightly, and her face looked in pain.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
The two people who had been waiting for a long time quickly approached.
"Junior Sister Hua, how is the effect?"
"Yes, the ancestor said that this secret method has the effect of increasing spiritual consciousness."
The person called Junior Sister Hua is the deacon Hua Furong. Although she has three spiritual roots, her understanding is the highest among the three.
So he became a "guinea pig".
After Hua Furong sensed her own changes, a look of fanaticism appeared on her face. She turned to look at the two senior brothers and frowned when she heard the hidden meaning in their words.
"What are the two senior brothers talking about? The soul-forging secret technique given by my ancestor cannot be false. Although the soul-forging process is extremely painful and does not hesitate to be cut into pieces, it has the effect of strengthening the soul.
, but it actually exists. I already feel that my spiritual consciousness has increased by half!"
"Hiss!" Lu Baokui took a breath of cold air.
Junior Sister Hua has been able to increase her spiritual consciousness by half a point after practicing her skills for so long. If this effect can always be achieved, wouldn't it mean that one year of soul training can increase her spiritual consciousness by nearly two feet?
Ten years is two feet.
One hundred years is twenty feet!
Just by practicing the soul-forging secret technique, you can obtain a soul that is far superior to the same level.
Next to him, Zhang Daolin was also shocked.
He clearly knows that the difficulty in strengthening the soul lies in the rarity and difficulty of finding spiritual objects and the harshness of practicing the technique. Now, to practice the secret technique of soul tempering, you only need to suffer some pain.
As if they had thought of it together, the three people in the hall looked at each other.
We all bowed to Chaosheng Cave in the north.
"Thank you Zu Lu for the gift!"
…
Quiet room.
Ah sneeze!
Lu Zhong was meditating on the incarnation outside his body when he suddenly sneezed.
"What's going on?"
He felt something in his heart and looked toward the Chuan Gong Hall.
Could it be that you are cursing yourself?
It's not impossible.
To complete the soul fragments submitted every month, the pain required is quite a bit, which is enough to make the disciples scold Lu Zhong for making this decision.
Just scold me.
Lu Zhong didn't care anymore.
As long as it doesn't affect his ability to become an external incarnation.
Read a book, read a book.
When it comes to supernatural powers, the content of the external incarnation is so obscure that it can be described as a compliment. The process of partial soul separation cannot tolerate a single mistake, and the slightest difference will result in failure.
Helpless, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and read on.
During the process, Lu Zhong learned the detailed differences between incarnation and body.
Although the incarnation is an independent individual, the main body can take over the incarnation at will.
On the contrary, unless the incarnation successfully backfires on the original body, the above behavior cannot be achieved.
Moreover, when the incarnation is born, if the body does not share its own memories, perceptions and experiences of various realms, then the incarnation will be an ordinary baby with four spiritual roots.
"This is not entirely a bad thing..." Lu Zhongmo thought.
In fact, he kind of wanted to give it a try and send his avatars to various sects as undercover agents.
Considering my spiritual root qualifications, it might not be easy.
But it is said that the qualification restrictions will change in the Nascent Soul stage. Many classics specifically mention this, but all of them are unclear, and I don’t know if it is true.
Don’t think too much and continue to comprehend.
…
The seventh day of June.
Just after the Lantern Festival, the Bihai Sect and the Chengde Chamber of Commerce gathered their combat power and formed a coalition. Today they officially set off for the Lingyue Domain to join the Heling Sect led by Shui Ni and fight against the "
The Battle of Hezong".
According to the news from Shui Ni not long ago, the merger negotiations without bloodshed have failed.
So Lu Zhong had to go on an expedition.
The tide lapped against the stone and splashed with waves.
At the pier, a row of flying boats has already been moored.
At this moment, the coalition forces were boarding the ship in an orderly manner. From their faces, we could see uneasiness and fear, as well as desire and hope for victory, but most of them looked calm.
Also boarding the ship were a large number of spiritual objects.
Such as healing elixirs, rejuvenation elixirs, large and small formations, etc., everything is available. Bihai Sect and Chengde Chamber of Commerce are both wealthy and have made adequate preparations with sufficient time.
At the end of the trestle, you face the boundless blue sea.
Yu Feng'er hugged Lu Zhong tightly, reluctant to let go for a long time. It took a long time before she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a thousand words turned into one sentence.
"Husband, I will wait here for your return."
"Yeah." Lu Zhong replied softly.
After the two separated, Lu Zhong boarded the ship.
Then the fleet slowly took off, formed a formation in the air, and flew straight to the west. However, due to the large load capacity, the flying speed was indeed a bit slow.
Departing from Bihai Island, it took one and a half months to arrive at Helingzong.
…
He Ling Sect.
Master and disciple meet.
"My dear disciple, you are finally here!" When Shui Ni looked away from the sand table and saw Lu Zhong who had just walked into the palace, she couldn't help but shout in surprise.
"Master has a request, can I, the apprentice, not come over?" Lu Zhong sighed and said a little helplessly, then looked at Shui Ni a few more times, and he showed a surprised expression:
"With this aura, could it be that Master has broken through the bottleneck and entered the false infant state?"
"I was lucky enough to break through half a month ago. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to my good disciple. If you hadn't solved the knot in my mind as a master, I don't know how long I would have been stuck in the late stage of pill formation." Shui Ni said.
This made her smile all over her face, and her beautiful face was even more charming.
Lu Zhong looked at it and his mind was shaken.
But then again, what is Shui Ni’s heart knot?
Uh, the resentment of an old maid...
He always felt in his heart that this was it.
Guilty sin!
"Master, why did the negotiation suddenly fail?" Returning to the topic, Lu Zhong asked about the situation of Feixing, Xuanyue, and Tuoyang sects. According to his previous prediction, Shui Ni could at least win over one of them, instead of like now
In this way, the problem can only be solved by force.
"There was an accident." Shui Ni said calmly.
The jade finger draws lines in the air, bringing out messages one after another.
"Some forces have taken the lead and unified the three sects before us. The condition is that they can replace the Lingyue Sect and become the new Nascent Soul Sect."
In this case, negotiation failure can be said to be inevitable.
"Is it...Changchun Valley?" Lu Zhong guessed.
"Oh, that's right!" Shui Ni sighed.
This was what gave her the most headache.
With the support of Changchun Valley among the three sects, the future of the battle with Hezong was suddenly uncertain.
According to intelligence, Changchun Valley has sent two Danjie elders to assist the three sects, and one of them has the same cultivation level as her in the False Infant Realm, which immediately tipped the balance of power.
From the original three versus three, it became five versus three.
The situation is not favorable for their master and disciple.
Lu Zhong frowned after reading the information given by Shui Ni. However, he had no intention of getting out of the situation. After all, although the current situation was bad, the master and the disciple were safe.
In fact, there are still two opinions on whether the Hezong War can be fought.
While the two were discussing, a female voice suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Sister Shui, can I come in?"
"Is this person the new pill-forming person?" Lu Zhong sensed the person outside the hall. She exuded the aura of the early stage of pill-forming, and was a little unstable. At a glance, he knew that she had only formed the pill recently.
"It's her, her name is Chu Yueyun." Shui Ni replied, turning her head to send a message to the outside of the hall: "Yueyun, come in, I'll introduce you to someone."
After a while, a female cultivator wearing a moonlight white shirt and a cold face walked into the hall.
"Lv Zhong, my good disciple!" Shui Ni introduced proudly.
When Chu Yueyun heard the words, he sensed Lu Zhong's aura without leaving any trace, and knew that it was the middle stage of pill formation. He couldn't help being surprised, and then he bowed slightly and said a blessing:
"I've met fellow Daoist Lu."
Lu Zhong cupped his hand and returned the gift politely.
The two of them are now considered acquainted.
"Yueyun, what do you want from me?" Shui Ni knew Chu Yueyun very well. Seeing the hesitation on the latter's face, he added with a smile: "Master and disciple are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Senior sister, the Huayiguan envoy just came to our door, please make your decision!"
Take a look?
Lu Zhong and Shui Ni looked at each other and guessed the purpose of the messenger's visit.
Shui Ni pondered for a moment and then said to Lu Zhong: "My dear disciple, what do you think? I think it is necessary to meet. Under the current circumstances, if we want to complete the matter of uniting the clan, we can only join forces vertically and horizontally."
"I think it's better to refuse." Lu Zhong sighed.
Compared to the Changchun Valley in front of us, in terms of long-term threats, the Taoist side is actually the bigger one.
Regardless of whether it is called Heling Sect or Zhenling Sect, it is not a Dao sect inheritance after all. Even with the support of the Dao sect, the unification of the Lingyue Domain has been temporarily completed, but with the fundamental conflict of interests that cannot be resolved in the future, sooner or later, their side will
You have to spit it out with profit.
Unless the bones are washed and blood is exchanged, the family will be transformed.
But in this case, what is the significance of the existence of Zhenling Sect?
It was precisely because of the arrogance of the Taoist sect that the previous Lingyue Sect always opposed Hua Yiguan.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Shui Ni wanted to hear Lu Zhong's thoughts.
"I don't think we are in a hurry to meet with the envoy, but try to contact the two elders of Changchun Valley!" Lu Zhong said solemnly, and then explained to the two of them in detail: "Changchun Valley has its own responsibility to suppress the expansion of the Taoist sect.
, that’s why we support the three sect alliances whose strength is outstanding in the Lingyue Domain. If we can get the approval of these two people, we may not be able to win over the support of Changchun Valley.”
Moreover, he did not say that once Changchun Valley turns to support Shui Ni, the alliance of the three sects will not be a concern.
"Well, you go out first and let me think about it..." Shui Ni did not reply immediately.
"Yes." Lu Zhong said goodbye.
Turn around and come to the area where Bihai Sect and Chengde Chamber of Commerce are stationed.
In the center of the camp, there is a brightly lit hall.
In the hall, Lu Baokui, the head of the Bihai Sect, and the two deacons, plus Si Huandou, the chief steward of the Chengde Chamber of Commerce, and a group of chamber of commerce stewards, gathered here and waited for a long time.
Lu Zhong walked in and glanced at everyone. It was obvious that everyone was a little nervous.
This is normal. It involves a sect war, and the intensity of the war is far greater than the usual petty quarrels. Theoretically, even he, the ancestor of the Pill Formation, is at risk of falling.
Of course, Lu Zhong didn't think he could stay on the opposite side, and he probably couldn't even Shui Ni.
It's just that these foundation-building and qi-refining exercises will put your life at risk.
So he summoned these people here just to promise himself benefits.
Lest things come to a head, everyone chooses to retreat.
