Chapter 1961: 17: Qing Yu Zi in Despair

Ten Thousand River Demon Country, Kalin Star. Located in the heartland territory of the Demon Race, Kalin Star maintains the lifestyle of the Human Clan, with ninety percent of its population being purebred humans.

At the center of the Boundary Star, there stands a large tree, with palaces hanging from its trunk and a layer of land spread across its leaves where rows of plants are cultivated, with many arrangements resembling the Primordial Realm.

On a city tower resembling Taixu City, a young man in a white robe stands sideways under the waning moon, holding a wine pot with one hand, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looks at the sky.

Jin Yan, once a disciple of Zuo Qiyu, and formerly a member of the Coral Ninth Rank, also served as a Minister of Agriculture in the Extreme Mother Tree Flow.

Jin Yan once made great contributions to the Empire, being unrivaled in prestige for a time, but now he is unheard of in the Empire's history, having transformed into a Guest Elder of the Ten Thousand River Demon Country.

"Teacher, you gave way to Zhao Xing, why couldn't you give way to me back then?" Jin Yan murmured to himself.

"It was you who made me cultivate the Taichu Avatar, who made me endure the pain of splitting thousands of times, and also because of you, I can only survive in the territories of the Demon Race, hiding in the shadows... why now once again—"

"Because you were too weak! Just like him!" At this moment, a long sword pierced through Jin Yan on the city wall.

A red shadow appeared behind, his gaze like a freshly quenched broken blade sweeping across the sky, even the sound of the wind froze into ice chips falling to the ground. He looked exactly like Jin Yan, but with a completely different aura.

"Pfft!" The red-armored Jin Yan killed the white-robed Jin Yan, then absorbed him, his aura seemingly even stronger.

Thud! Looking at the remains lying on the ground, Jin Yan coldly crushed them: "Zuo Qiyu, Zhao Xing, you all must die!"

Turning back, countless 'Jin Yan' lie dead in the pools of blood within the city.

Only a few bodies were still barely clinging to life, crawling on the ground.

The red-armored Jin Yan pointed a finger, and the remaining avatars were also killed, with each one's death further strengthening the aura of the red-armored Jin Yan.

...

After Zhao Xing suppressed the killing intent in his heart, he began to quickly organize what he had learned.

Upon mastering the Taichu Grassman Skill, he acquired four abilities.

The first is [Mastery of the Dao]: The original Taixu Grassman Technique repelled any Grassman within a certain range, rendering others' Grassman Skills ineffective, so when Zhao Xing mastered it, many people's Grassmen in the Primordial Realm collapsed.

The Taichu Grassman Skill, based on this, adds control capability.

Within a certain range, Zhao Xing can control any Grassman.

Moreover, he doesn't need soul invasion for remote control; this is a naturally occurring ability upon mastering the Taichu Grassman Skill, which can be called 'Great Dao Divine Power'.

The second is [Taichu Body]: The model for the Taichu Grassman Skill is the Void Ancestor, although the Void Ancestor is a Qi Sect Martial Artist, the Taichu Grassman is of a magic body.

The Taichu Body will naturally be born with [Taichu Magic Power], possessing a strong ability to traverse the void because the Void Ancestor itself was born in the void!

Therefore, cultivating space spells with the Taichu Body is very easy, and their power will be greatly enhanced.

If the Taichu Grassman is crafted with specific Void Ancestor series materials, it will also possess defensive power as strong as a golden body.

However, Zhao Xing does not currently have 'Void Ancestor materials' at hand, so using ordinary materials will greatly reduce the power.

The third is [Teleportation without Distance]

Teleportation can occur between the magic body and the original body.

The original body, soul, and Taichu's Soul can exchange or recover the soul body.

During the Taixu Grassman Technique, Zhao Xing's original body and the Split Soul needed to get close to each other and the soul to leave the body.

However, with the Taichu Grassman Skill, with a single thought, the original body can retrieve the Split Soul!

No matter how far, it can be sensed, and the soul's transmission is instantaneous, whereas the transmission between the original body and the avatar is slightly slower, with the main point being the extremely exaggerated distance.

"If there were no obstacles, I could almost instantly cross a galaxy; if each of the Empire's thirty-six top galaxies had an avatar as a teleportation point, traversing the vast territory of the Empire in a day would not be difficult."

"There is no distance limit for the soul! It can be recalled with a single thought!"

"No wonder Zuo Qiyu is always appearing and disappearing mysteriously; he's everywhere." Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, the only drawback of Teleportation without Distance is that it cannot carry others.

Moreover, the birth of the fourth ability implies that Zhao Xing will encounter obstacles in recovering souls.

This involves the fourth ability—[Soul Tear]

It is a passive ability.

The first time mastering the Taichu Split Body Technique will complete one tear, dividing the soul into two, each independent and unaffected by the other.

The more times you tear, the more avatars you control, and the combat power will also be greatly enhanced.

Due to their independence, after the Soul-splitting Body also becomes strong, various thoughts will arise, one brain having countless voices.

With more voices, opinions may not be unified.

Recalling a Split Soul with a single thought will be resisted!

Therefore, to avoid this situation, Taichu avatars and the original body cannot be too far apart for too long to prevent becoming too 'unfamiliar' with each other.

Because they are independent, True Spirit Heavenly Poison, a highly toxic poison, is not a problem for the Taichu avatar, abandoning the poisoned part and escaping with a severed tail will suffice!

However, in Zhao Xing's understanding, soul tear should be considered a disadvantage, not an ability.

If it's only for increasing survival rates, the Taichu Split Body Technique isn't much higher-level than the Taixu Split Body.

Because the Taichu Split Body is not absolutely invincible; surpassing the critical point, for example by using a Cause and Effect Divine Object, can still achieve the goal of killing one to destroy all.
