After his clone was promoted to the foundation-building stage, Li Shiming had a feeling that, as if after the strengthening of his soul in the foundation-building stage, his consciousness left in the clone had undergone some strange changes.
That consciousness seemed to be completely separated from the original body, but there was a trace of connection, allowing the original body and the clone to influence each other at any time.
The original body can control the actions of the clone through this slight connection.
The original body is unable to completely take back that consciousness, as if this consciousness is solidified in the soul of the clone and becomes the clone's spiritual intelligence.
Li Shiming was slightly stunned. He didn't understand whether this situation was normal or not. He was seriously lacking in knowledge of cultivating immortals.
Of course, even if he joined a large sect, it would be difficult for him to access high-end knowledge of cultivation such as clones.
The clone is not something that a Qi-refining cultivator can touch, and he can also allow the clone to break through and become a Foundation-building cultivator just like a normal cultivator.
In addition, the method of doing two things at the same time used by Li Shiming was not a normal method of cultivating immortals, but a method of the underworld.
The dual consciousness produced by the "left and right fighting" was improved by him. His long-term separation of consciousness made multitasking a common behavior.
The strengthening of the soul during this foundation-building process caused the separated consciousness to be unable to be retrieved, thus becoming a true multitasking.
Li Shiming could only let IBMz15 record it first and study it slowly later. With his current ability, he could not explain everything that happened.
"Fellow Daoist, it seems that we really have to become two people in the future!" The original body said helplessly to the clone.
"Fellow Daoist, we are two people, but I am you and you are me!" said the clone with a smile.
Although an accident occurred, it had little impact on him.
The clone was promoted to the foundation-building stage, and his body instantly transformed into a corpse-refining form.
The main body also set up the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation', preparing to let the corpse-refining clone enter to break through to the iron corpse.
Just as the clone was transformed into the corpse refining state, before entering the ghost environment, its body began to change. Its copper skin began to turn black, sharp fangs grew in its mouth, and its eyes turned scarlet.
Before the clone was transformed into a refined corpse, he was definitely a very handsome man in the world. But after being transformed into a refined corpse, especially after being promoted to an iron corpse, he was no longer handsome at all.
The clone's black skin emits bursts of golden drum sounds, and every sound will strengthen the muscles and bones in the body.
Li Shiming used his spiritual thoughts to support his clone and sent it into the ghost realm.
Although the clone has successfully advanced to the Iron Corpse state, having sufficient Yin and cold energy will still be of great benefit to the strengthening of the Iron Corpse state.
As soon as the clone in the Iron Corpse state entered the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation', the cold and gloomy power in the formation gathered towards him.
The sound of the golden drums became more frequent. Just hearing the sound made Li Shiming feel horrified. He hadn't even started practicing the foundation-building chapter of the "Sword Demon Secret Book", but the Iron Corpse was already so powerful.
After practicing the "Sword Demon Secret Book", the iron corpse state of the clone will probably be a few points stronger than the defensive effect of the two corpse refining techniques of the original body.
Li Shiming summoned out the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse and let it enter the "Netherworld Ghost Realm Formation".
The skin of the three-headed and six-armed bronze corpse began to vibrate in the ghost environment. Every vibration made a "puff" sound, and its skin became darker and darker.
Li Shiming saw that the three-headed, six-armed bronze corpse and its clone were in normal condition, but he didn't know how long it would take to completely transform into an iron corpse, so he stopped watching.
Looking at the time, it was almost dawn, and his figure flashed out of the cave.
He first saw the situation at the Wei family’s base. The various spiritual objects in the formation seemed to have experienced tens of millions of years and had lost a lot of their spirituality.
This should be the result of him forcibly using the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Array' to extract the Wei family's resident array. He couldn't help but think that before he broke through the Golden Core stage, he would have to set up an array that was one level stronger than the one here. Perhaps at that time, the spirituality of the extracted array would be greatly lost, just like here.
This was another huge expense. You had to know that a lot of second-grade formation materials were used to set up this formation. He didn't even know if he had enough spirit stones to set up a formation that was a level stronger.
It seems that I have to find a way to earn spirit stones, otherwise I will really be stuck in the foundation-building stage.
He knew that if his original body could not break through the golden elixir stage, he could only live for 200 years, and he did not want to gamble on his luck as to whether his clone could survive.
Thinking in his mind, he soared into the air, left the formation and reached the top of the mountain.
He sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, facing the east, practicing the 'Purple Air Coming from the East', waiting for the first ray of purple air to appear in the east.
He is now in the foundation-building stage, and at least has a certain ability to protect himself in this area. He no longer wants to miss any opportunity to absorb purple energy.
As the sun rose, he caught a glimpse of purple air again. Even though he had reached the foundation-building stage, this glimmer of purple air still made him feel a slight improvement in all aspects.
"Develop a new research direction, how to capture more purple energy!" After digesting the purple energy, Li Shiming typed it into IBMz15 with an unsatisfied look.
After that, he began to practice the "Hundred Thoughts and Thousand Returns Technique", trying to divide his spiritual thoughts into more parts, which was of great help to his control of the Nine Palace Sword Formation.
As for the 'Thousand Hammers Divine Forging Art', he tried to practice it, but unfortunately his spiritual power could not reach the practice standard at present.
Throughout the day, he was constantly perfecting the various methods of the Foundation Establishment Period and learning the knowledge of the Foundation Establishment Period.
The foundation of the Qi Refining Period does not represent the strength of the Foundation Establishment Period. He just has a stronger physique and spiritual thoughts than ordinary Foundation Establishment Period cultivators. In terms of the quality of spiritual power, he can be compared with the veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators, but in terms of the total amount of spiritual power and combat methods, he is simply not comparable.
The fighting method of 'Sword Controlling Technique' is outdated. If he wants to have stronger sword-controlling ability, he must master the flying sword skills of the foundation-building period.
At the same time, he also needed to start practicing the foundation-building chapter of 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill' and 'Sword Demon Secret Codex'. Fortunately, both 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill' and 'Sword Demon Secret Codex' were completed, so he didn't need to worry about the issues of body refining.
The various application methods in the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' also need to be learned and practiced.
All in all, he managed to go over all the foundation-building knowledge he needed to learn and practice in one day.
He found that he did not have more free time after reaching the foundation-building stage, but became even busier.
He did not rest at night, but sat at the outlet of the spiritual energy of the superior spiritual vein to practice the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'. There is no time limit for practice after the foundation-building period, as long as you feel your body can bear it, you can keep practicing.
But the main technique is only a part of the strength. The place where he is is not safe, and he needs to master the combat ability of the foundation-building period as soon as possible.
The next morning, at the same location on the top of the mountain, he sat cross-legged in the same posture, but this time was different from yesterday morning, as there was a two-person-high concave mirror next to him.
The position of the concave mirror was strictly calculated by IBMz15. When the first ray of sunlight appeared from below the horizon, Li Shiming's body actively absorbed a trace of the purple air shining on him, and the concave mirror next to him reflected the first ray of sunlight onto his body.
The concave mirror is not an ordinary concave mirror, but a special mirror made by Li Shiming based on the principle of Fresnel lens.
The Fresnel lens cast the reflected sunlight onto Li Shiming's body in a concentrated manner, allowing him to fully receive the sunlight reflected by the two high concave mirrors.
Li Shiming's face showed a slight joy, he felt his body absorbing a trace of purple energy from the reflected sunlight.
This showed that his idea was correct. The next step was to design a large concave mirror matrix to gather more purple energy for him.
Of course, this idea is still in the design stage. If he wants to actually make it, on the one hand, he needs a lot of materials, and on the other hand, he needs a suitable place where he can have full control and not be disturbed.
Ten days later, Li Shiming's intense and rich training life continued, and his clone and the three-headed, six-armed corpse finally completed their promotion.
The clone's Iron Corpse form stood next to the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Iron Corpse, with similar fangs and red eyes. The Three-Headed, Six-Armed Iron Corpse's armor was three times that of the clone's.
For a long time afterwards, the three-headed, six-armed iron corpse and its clone's iron corpse state had to frequently enter the 'Netherworld Ghost Realm Array' to strengthen themselves.
Although it has already reached the Iron Corpse state, the Iron Corpse state is also divided into three stages: primary, secondary and final. Currently, the clone and the three-headed, six-armed Iron Corpse are both in the primary Iron Corpse state.
The clone switched back to human state. He was not just practicing the corpse state. The most important thing was to master combat capabilities and practice the main skills.
"Fellow Daoist, we should give you a name, how about Li Yuanba?" the original body asked with a smile.
The clone has a fixed consciousness, and after it withdraws its consciousness like before, it becomes an unconscious puppet-like existence.
The clone at this moment was no different from a real foundation-building cultivator except that it was in a somewhat strange iron corpse state.
"Li Yuanba greets fellow Taoist!" The clone smiled and bowed.
The two smiled at each other. There was no prosperous Tang Dynasty in this world, so they were probably the only ones in the world who knew the meaning of this name.
After the three-headed, six-armed iron corpse was promoted, Li Shiming also found that its autonomous consciousness had been greatly enhanced and it could understand his orders more clearly.
"You have three heads and six arms, so why not just call you Nezha!" Li Shiming said after thinking for a while.
He gave the reward from the duel with the Mingxin Sect of Northern Shu, the golden flying sword magic weapon, to Li Yuanba, and selected an extremely high-quality magic weapon defense shield from the spoils as Li Yuanba's backup magic weapon.
The reason why it is called a spare magic weapon is because Li Yuanba is preparing to practice the "Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique".
A sword cultivator has only one magical weapon, which is the sword. Instead of being distracted by other magical weapons, it is better to use all his energy to strengthen his sword.
Being the best in sword cultivation techniques is not just an exaggeration. Although Li Shiming does not want to change anything, he only hopes that Li Yuanba will have some defensive ability before he truly becomes a sword cultivator.
As for Nezha, he chose a set of spiritual weapon full body armor. The biggest advantage of this spiritual weapon full body armor called "Dazzling Flowing Light Armor" is that it can be transformed into any form of armor as long as the size does not exceed the limit of the original material.
So even if Nezha has three heads and six arms, the 'Dazzling Flowing Light Armor' is able to fit his entire body. In order to protect the six arms and three heads, the hem of the 'Dazzling Flowing Light Armor' is obviously shorter.
Li Yuanba placed the golden jade slip containing the "Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Art" between his eyebrows. Just like his main body watching the "Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art", after the foundation-building period, he saw all the contents of the foundation-building chapter of the "Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Art".
Li Shiming also sat aside, recording the foundation-building chapter of the "Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique" obtained from Li Yuanba into the IBM z15.
"It seems that I don't need to look for a sword-controlling technique anymore!" Li Shiming couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the contents of the foundation-building chapter of the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique'.
Although he could not practice the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique', he could use the sword-controlling techniques in the foundation-building chapter.
In addition, Li Yuanba practiced the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique'. Apart from the special spiritual power generated by the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique', Li Shiming was able to use all other methods.
As a top-level martial art, the training conditions for "Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique" are equally demanding. One must master the sword intent before being able to learn this martial art.
Li Shiming didn't understand how he could master the sword intent during the foundation-building period. If he hadn't obtained the sword bone, he might not have even heard of the sword intent until now, let alone learned it.
His vision was still limited. Being on Tianhai Island, the seven sects had no sword cultivation heritage, so there was no means to cultivate sword intent.
But in a real big sect, the inheritance of sword cultivation involves the accumulation of material and knowledge.
Just like sword intent, one can obtain sword intent by observing the sword marks left by predecessors, or by practicing some low-level sword cultivation method.
All of these require the foundation of a sect, which also means that sword cultivation is almost monopolized by large sects.
Even if there are people with amazing talents among the casual cultivators and they have cultivated the sword intent, without the inheritance of sword cultivation, their success will only be a flash in the pan.
After reading the foundation-building chapter of "Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Techniques", Li Shiming realized that he was right not to let Li Yuanba use the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Formation" to break through.
To practice the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique', in addition to the sword, one must possess a gold spiritual root and cultivate gold spiritual power.
Li Yuanba began to practice the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique'. The spiritual energy entered his body, traveled through specific meridians, and under the influence of the sword intent, finally entered the Spirit Lake.
The golden spiritual power in the Spirit Lake is terrifyingly sharper than normal golden spiritual power, and has a hint of sword characteristics.
It was as if there were countless spiritual swords hidden in the spiritual lake. The sharpness of the swords penetrated through the lake and reached every part of his body, affecting his body.
Li Yuanba finished a round of training, slowly opened his eyes, and sword lights flashed in his eyes.
Although it was the first time for him to practice the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique', he already had the temperament of a sword cultivator, and when people saw him they would feel that he was a sword.
The 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique' also has a unique method of refining spiritual weapons. The golden spiritual power with sword intent enters the golden flying sword spiritual weapon, and aggressively keeps engraving the mark of sword intent in the spiritual weapon.
'Swift Wind Golden Light Sword' is the name of this spiritual weapon. Considering its quality, there is no need to consider changing swords at least during the foundation-building period.
Of course, the 'Ten Directions Sword Cultivation Technique' would not allow a sword cultivator to change swords at will. Every change of sword would require a long period of seclusion and a new sacrifice of the sword.
