From this point of view, the Great Soul Shred is unnecessary."Hmm? The Great Soul Shred, increasing the number of clones, enhancing combat power, and improving survival abilities are secondary. The ultimate purpose is to overcome the True Spirit Tribulation?" Zhao Xing continued to ponder in shock.
"After entering the Reincarnation Realm, one will inevitably face the True Spirit Tribulation. If unsure about passing it, you could use the Taichu Body + part of the True Spirit to endure the tribulation."
"By sacrificing a Magic Body and part of the True Spirit, you can avoid the True Spirit Tribulation."
"If you manage to get through it, due to the independence of the Taichu Avatar, the True Spirit will grow stronger after successfully transcending the tribulation."
"At this point, using Teleportation, you can instantly retrieve the True Spirit, making it a thousand or even ten thousand times stronger than others!"
"Is that the ultimate goal?"
Zhao Xing imagined: If during his first tribulation in the Reincarnation Realm, he split into a thousand Taichu Avatars, each suffering the True Spirit Tribulation, once the avatars transcend the tribulation, the True Spirit would further grow.
Assuming all Reincarnation Realm rewards after the True Spirit Tribulation are the same, at a value of 1.
By retrieving it, he would possess a True Spirit 1000 times as potent!
What if it were ten thousand, a million?
"Hiss!" Zhao Xing was profoundly shaken. "Successfully transcending the tribulation means retrieving and strengthening the True Spirit."
"Failed tribulation? It doesn’t affect the main body or other avatars; only one dies."
"Truly defying the heavens."
However, after careful consideration, Zhao Xing felt this splitting should have a limit.
Otherwise, Zuo Qiyu and Jin Yan wouldn’t be eager to kill each other.
If everyone could become stronger by creating avatars, why resort to fighting?
"Mastery of the Way, Teleportation, Taichu Body, Soul Shred—each of these abilities defies the heavens." Zhao Xing mused, "However, there are significant risks too. Excessive Soul Shredding will inevitably lead to mental chaos, which requires an exceptionally strong Soul Secret Technique to control; otherwise, insanity is a real possibility."
"The Taichu Body is expensive; without the Void Ancestor series materials, it’s only slightly stronger than the Void Grassman, not enough to defy the heavens."
"Mastery of the Way is ineffective against the likes of Zuo Qiyu and Jin Yan; it brings everyone to the same level, becoming one Magic Technique, unable to break through defenses."
"Teleportation has no pitfalls, but without enough avatars, its effect can’t be realized."
"Gu Tiangyang really created an extremely powerful yet equally lethal Magic Technique." Zhao Xing concluded.
Having familiarized himself enough, he looked towards the distant lofty mountains.
"Since this method was created with the Void Ancestor as a template, the information on this Molt Divine Bone of the Void Ancestor is crucial."
"Zuo Qiyu resolutely passing this technique to me might also be an attempt to resolve its flaws."
No one would willingly cultivate such a technique, especially since it led to a mentor-mentee split!
Zuo Qiyu’s actions, offering a concession on the path, probably stem from a desire to find a solution.
"Teleportation." A black gleam flashed in Zhao Xing’s eyes; the mountains vanished before him, and the gray mist of the sky disappeared too.
He saw the Void Avatar pinned under the foot of the mountain.
The Void Avatar also meets the conditions for Teleportation, just not over distances as vast as the Taichu Avatar’s.
"Swoosh~"
In the next moment, the main body on the flower chair vanished, appearing within the oppressed Void Avatar.
Soul and body transmitted together, entering the inner Void Grassman!
Swish~
Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poison Emperor appeared simultaneously, looking at the empty flower chair, Zuo Qiyu remained silent.
"What are you looking at, just a chair left, you can’t have red eyes at that?" The Five Poison Emperor cautiously put away the flower chair.
Zhao Xing was able to suppress his murderous intent because he had only just mastered the technique, and hadn’t undergone multiple splits; however, Zuo Qiyu, with many avatars, faced the urges born with each shred.
For every avatar, there were voices influencing his actions!
"Hmph." Zuo Qiyu withdrew his gaze.
"Zuo Qiyu, be honest, did you intentionally teach Zhao Xing the Taichu Avatar, raising him like a pig?" The Five Poison Emperor inquired. "Though his avatar has been transformed into his likeness, you possess ’Mastery of the Way,’ allowing you to fully establish contact first, then enter through Teleportation."
"Foolish!" Zuo Qiyu scoffed, "You pretend to understand, but you’re just putting on airs."
The Five Poison Emperor realized he was referring to their conversation at the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country Palace, yet this time he did not become enraged, instead, he inquired: "Then tell me, where did I go wrong?"
"If I could go in, why create another enemy for myself?" Zuo Qiyu spoke plainly, "I tried; Mastery of the Way doesn’t work on Zhao Xing’s Void Avatar here."
"A power that renders your Mastery of the Way ineffective, you mean..." The Five Poison Emperor’s eyes narrowed, as if realizing something.
"It could be the isolation by the Molt Divine Bone, or an issue with the Transmission Building, or perhaps it’s due to an expert in this time and space." Zuo Qiyu stated, "In any case, it’s a Divine Level mighty power, only he can enter."
The Five Poison Emperor was familiar with the ramifications of [Cause and Effect Battle] and worriedly noted: "A mere Zhao Xing, how has his battle of cause and effect escalated to such a level already, sigh..."
Now even the Five Poison Emperor could only sigh, as involving such a level, he could merely hope Zhao Xing remains safe.
....
Zhao Xing’s main body appeared within the Void Grassman, at this point, he had not yet undergone a Great Soul Shred; he merely felt a faint barrier between his avatar and main body, due to his soul’s unchanged state not yet reaching True Spirit level, marking only the prelude to the first Great Soul Shred.
