Chapter 813: Myriad Clone

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the secluded chamber of Thousand Geese City’s Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei carefully wielded a spiritual pen, meticulously inscribing the array patterns.

The Myriad Array, recorded within the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, was specifically designed for crafting Myriad Clones.

Chen Fei had only recently begun to grasp the Dream Entry Technique at the Perfection stage, yet integrating it with the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique did not immediately enhance his proficiency.

Initially obtained in a damaged state, the Dream Entry Technique was already formidable, challenging even mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Thus, despite being at the Perfection stage, the Dream Entry Technique was inconsequential compared to top-tier techniques like the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Still new to the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, Chen Fei could only use the spiritual pen to subst.i.tute for now in crafting the Myriad Array. Only when he improved his familiarity with the technique could he sketch arrays in mid-air.

After nearly an hour, the Myriad Array was finally completed.

Chen Fei cast aside the spiritual pen, formed hand seals, and activated the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique. The ground beneath s.h.i.+mmered faintly, every node of the array lit up in response.

Everything went smoothly, a smile spread across Chen Fei’s face as he waved his right hand, summoning fifty Myriad Bamboos to his side.

Apart from a few commonly used spiritual treasures, this was nearly all of Chen Fei’s possessions.

Placing one Myriad Bamboo into the array, Chen Fei then sat cross-legged, meticulously following the instructions recorded in the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique to carefully refine the Myriad Clone.

After a quarter of an hour, the array patterns gradually covered the Myriad Bamboo, their power seeping into its core.

This process required patience; only when the array patterns completely infused the Myriad Bamboo could Chen Fei imbue it with fragments of his soul, crafting a true Myriad Clone.

The entry-level proficiency of the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique was indeed rudimentary, but Chen Fei, currently lacking the time to master it further, had to make do.

If the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique were to reach Mastery stage, the speed and accuracy of crafting Myriad Clones would greatly improve.

However, even with the a.s.sistance of external forces, mastering a heritage technique comparable to sacred sects would require more than a year, barring any interruptions.

Mastering the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique to the Great Completion stage would have required around six to seven years based on the experience with the Purple Sky Stellar Technique.

This pace was nearly a hundred times faster compared to other Mountain Sea Realms, but given the current situation in the Boundless Sea, six to seven years would have been far too long.

Therefore, despite the difficulty in crafting Myriad Clones at the time, Chen Fei had to proceed with it first.

If the results had been truly effective, Chen Fei would have had to work hard to earn money in the near future.

Since breaking through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm years ago, Chen Fei hadn’t felt that financially strained.

However, Myriad Bamboo was a fourth-grade superior spiritual material, firmly establis.h.i.+ng its price; even with discounts, it remained expensive.

Furthermore, Chen Fei had also needed to consider what to do after depleting the Myriad Bamboo in the Sacred City—where to find new supplies.

Though Myriad Bamboo was a fourth-grade spiritual material, its uses were somewhat limited. Apart from crafting high-grade spiritual treasures and serving as auxiliary materials, it was also used in refining some medicinal pills as a medicinal herb.

Difficult to cultivate and in limited demand, the actual stock of Myriad Bamboo must have been finite. At that time, it was unclear how much Myriad Bamboo existed within the Sacred City.

Three hours later, the Myriad Bamboo within the array suddenly trembled faintly, and a ripple spread out.

Chen Fei’s eyes opened. The array patterns had completely infused the interior of the Myriad Bamboo. Now came the crucial step in crafting the Myriad Clone —separating a fragment of his soul from the main soul and imbuing it into the Myriad Bamboo.

Chen Fei extended his right hand, fingers forming a sword gesture, and gently touched his forehead.

Within Chen Fei’s body, his main soul trembled slightly. Under the influence of Dream Realm Power, a small spiritual light detached itself from the main soul.

It felt like slicing off a large piece of flesh from one’s own body. That was the sensation Chen Fei experienced on his main soul right now, surpa.s.sing even physical pain by far.

After being cut, there would be a numb feeling for a while.

But when the soul was detached, the pain would persist until the soul fully recovered, without numbing and with no relief in pain.

Dream Realm Power covered the injured part of the main soul, beginning a slow recovery. This was the power of Divine Blessing Resurgence.

However, with Chen Fei’s current low proficiency in the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, at this recovery rate, it would probably take several days before any improvement.

Ignoring the anomaly within his soul, Chen Fei extended his right hand forward and touched the Myriad Bamboo.

The fragment of soul drifted into the Myriad Bamboo, causing the entire bamboo to emit a hazy glow.

Chen Fei carefully operated the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, meticulously controlling every detail.

At this moment, if the refining failed, not only would the Myriad Clone not succeed, but the Myriad Bamboo and the soul fragment would all shatter.

For Chen Fei, such a loss would be devastating.

Another hour pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. The glow on the Myriad Bamboo gradually stabilized, then dimmed, revealing the essence of the Myriad Bamboo.

“It’s done!”

A tightly connected sense of perception emanated from the Myriad Bamboo. It bore some resemblance to the clones cultivated with the Water Source Shadow Technique, but the soul fluctuations of the Myriad Clone were undoubtedly much weaker.

According to the initial rules set for creating the Myriad Clone, it couldn’t possess true spiritual wisdom. It was purely intended for comprehending techniques. Any attempt to make the clone do more was futile.

To truly strengthen the Myriad Clone, the Myriad Bamboo material was inadequate. Additionally, Chen Fei would need to invest more soul fragments.

“After nearly five hours in total, I’ve crafted a Myriad Clone.” Chen Fei opened his right hand, and the Myriad Clone flew into his palm.

Chen Fei issued an instruction to the Myriad Clone: to comprehend the Adamantine Body.

Due to the connection between his main body and the clone, the Myriad Clone could directly sense the current state of the Adamantine Body without Chen Fei needing to explicitly transmit the information.

Ripples appeared on the Myriad Clone as it began its formal comprehension.

For twelve hours a day, as long as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was sufficient, the Myriad Clone tirelessly immersed itself in understanding techniques.

Self-exploitation—this was the essence of the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique.

Chen Fei shook his head with a gentle smile, placing the Myriad Clone aside. To accurately a.s.sess its comprehension efficiency, he would need to give it at least a day’s time.

Picking up another Myriad Bamboo, Chen Fei placed it into the array.

If the crafting of Myriad Clones was slow, Chen Fei could only rely on time to acc.u.mulate them.

Fortunately, during the crafting process of the clones, Chen Fei could simultaneously practice other techniques without affecting their proficiency.

In the blink of an eye, a day had pa.s.sed, and Chen Fei now had three Myriad Clones by his side.

As Chen Fei crafted more Myriad Clones, the speed of crafting them had indeed increased somewhat.

However, these were not the crucial concerns. What bothered Chen Fei now was the worsening condition of his main soul after three separations of soul fragments.

Injuries like these tended to exacerbate with each occurrence, especially concerning the soul.

With three soul fragment separations, the injury to Chen Fei’s main soul had worsened several times compared to the first separation.

If this trend continued, further separations could potentially undermine Chen Fei’s foundation.

When the Dream Shadow Master crafted so many Myriad Clones initially, it took nearly two hundred years to gradually acc.u.mulate them.

Moreover, the Dream Shadow Master had already mastered the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique to an extremely advanced level at that time. Each separation of soul fragments was likely much more delicate, and the injuries to the soul would have been less severe.

Additionally, the restoration ability of Divine Blessing Resurgence would have been far stronger than Chen Fei’s current capability.

If Chen Fei were to attempt to craft fifty Myriad Clones in one go now, his main soul might collapse before he could complete them.

Chen Fei took out a spiritual material from the Qianyuan Sword and swallowed it. Instantly, the discomfort in his soul improved significantly.

It was the Redwood Fruit, specifically used to repair injuries to the soul. Chen Fei had exchanged it from the Mission Hall back at the Ethereal Lake area.

Although Chen Fei’s soul hadn’t been injured, thanks to the protection of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant and the Xuanyuan Sword, the soul was paramount for cultivators.

Chen Fei had thought ahead to prevent any unforeseen circ.u.mstances, ensuring he wouldn’t be caught off guard.

Unexpectedly, today he found a use for it.

“The proficiency of the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique isn’t increasing as quickly, which naturally affects the recovery of the soul.”

Redwood Fruit was expensive. When it came to spiritual materials concerning the soul, there were no cheap options.

Chen Fei was already struggling financially to purchase more Myriad Bamboo.

If he had to buy soul-healing materials like Redwood Fruit, it would be a financial burden he couldn’t bear.

“Next time for talents, I might as well choose Divine Blessing!”

In Chen Fei’s mind, the idea of the Divine Blessing talent came to him.

Ever since obtaining the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique, Chen Fei had considered combining the Divine Blessing talent with it, which could elevate the speed of soul recovery to its peak.

However, back then, it was just a pa.s.sing thought. After all, there were so many talents in the void, and choosing Divine Blessing was not necessarily mandatory.

But now, if he didn’t solve the issue of soul recovery, the crafting of Myriad Clones would simply not speed up.

Money, soul recovery, and the proficiency of the Divine Blessing Dream Entry Technique—these difficulties facing Chen Fei were indeed quite numerous.

The effectiveness of the Redwood Fruit was potent, and Chen Fei’s soul injury wasn’t particularly severe, so by now it had mostly recovered.

However, Chen Fei didn’t immediately continue crafting new Myriad Clones. Instead, he brought forth the first clone crafted yesterday.

In the next moment, the clone emitted a spiritual light, and Chen Fei’s mind instantly gained insight, specifically about the Adamantine Body talent.

Chen Fei absorbed this insight, and the proficiency related to the Adamantine Body on the panel increased slightly.

It was minimal, at least less than Chen Fei had estimated.

Ignoring whether the insights derived from the Myriad Clones were correct or incorrect, if we only consider the amount of insight gained, the daily cultivation results of fifty clones were roughly equivalent to half an hour of Chen Fei’s personal cultivation.

Therefore, a hundred Myriad Clones would enhance Chen Fei’s rate of insight by less than ten percent.
