After an unwilling scream, the life of a Nascent Soul cultivator from long ago came to an end.

Since I didn't die in the fight that year, I thought I could have a chance to survive, but my luck was still a little bad.

Countless memory fragments in the broken Nascent Soul suddenly scattered like dandelions in the wind, and were all covered by Shen Lian's released divine consciousness.

His entire divine consciousness searched back and forth in the cave several times. When the soul smoke rose, he felt relieved and crushed it.

The memory fragments of a Nascent Soul cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection were extremely huge. Even though Shen Lian's spiritual power was now over a hundred thousand feet strong, he still felt it was a bit overwhelming.

However, he did not stop to sort out these memory fragments, but quickly cleaned up the battlefield and moved to a Xuan-shaped cave he had selected before.

…

Two months later.

"Five thousand years, it can be called a legend."

Inside the cave, Shen Lian let out a long breath. Although he won the final victory in this fight, he deserved a word of praise for the leader of Ruifu Sect whom he killed.

Zhiqing is indeed the name of the pheasant-crowned bird of Ruifeng Sect.

This person's name is Qi Suichu, and he is really the leader of Ruifeng Sect.

The Ruifu Sect was destroyed in the melee, and in the moment of crisis, this person used a secret method to hide in the womb of the sect's spiritual beast, the pheasant and the spirit crown bird, intending to absorb the energy from the bird's eggs to gain vitality.

The fact that it has been able to hold out until now also shows that Qi Suichu's plan was successful.

Two spiritual objects were floating in front of Shen Lian.

Yellow as soil yet light as clouds.

A little pheasant still exudes a hint of life, and has grown wings inside the eggshell, but the wings are not fully developed.

Yunhuan Xiran is a fourth-grade spiritual object obtained by Ruifeng Sect from the third level of Yuantian. After being sacrificed and refined by the sect's cultivators of all generations, when it was passed into Qi Suichu's hands, its grade had reached the fourth-grade upper grade.

Unfortunately, this treasure was severely damaged during the battle to destroy the sect.

This is a spiritual object that can protect the soul, and it is so big that Shen Lian simply can't let it go.

As for the little pheasant in the remaining eggshell, it is a bit interesting. Logically speaking, after Qi Suichu took over its nest, it had almost no chance of survival.

But the little pheasant not only survived, but also reached the third level. However, it looked as weak as a chick.

Of course, it is not entirely correct to say that it survived, because what was left of this pheasant was an empty shell that still contained life.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, a group of unconscious souls were floating up and down.

Living without independent will.

It was obvious that Qi Suichu wanted to occupy his body and form a symbiotic state. If it hadn't been revealed this time, he would have succeeded.

His divine sense carefully examined the little pheasant in the eggshell. Although its aura was not worth mentioning, there was a faint red flame lingering around its body.

The reason why Qi Suichu wanted to use the body of a pheasant to survive was because of a technique called "The Art of Occupying the Magpie's Nest".

This spell is very magical. It can separate one's soul and merge it into the body of another living being.

Well, this technique has some minor shortcomings, which is that it is extremely easy to be assimilated, and will also be affected by the selected living creatures.

Qi Suichu erased Xiao Zhifeng's consciousness in order to eliminate the influence of Zhifeng to the greatest extent possible.

However, even if the little pheasant's will was worn away, as the degree of integration deepened in the future, he would still have to rely on the pheasant's body to practice, and would be more or less affected by the pheasant's living habits.

In Qi Suichu's memory, Shen Lian acquired this spell completely. After some research, he found that this method still has its merits.

"I told you that a leader of a sect should have some skills."

The black bird egg was suspended in front of Shen Lian. His mind was focused on the pheasant's body. A golden glow was as small as a needle tip.

Under the cover of divine consciousness, the needle-tip-sized light was magnified and a fire rune emerged.

After an inspection, Shen Lian also discovered that this rune, which had the rhythm of the fire of heaven and earth, was refined into the body of Pheasant later.

At this moment, he couldn't help but consider how to maximize his benefits.

The Dao rhyme of the flames of heaven and earth contained in this fire rune is extremely strong. Once it is integrated into the body of the pheasant, it will be of great benefit to its subsequent control of the method of absorbing fire.

If it is taken out and given to Erwan, Erwan can also inherit this fortune.

However, what Shen Lian was thinking about was Chi Feng, the best clone embryo. Although it looked thin and weak now, Qi Suichu had made great modifications to it for his own retreat.

First of all, the consciousness belonging to Zhifeng had been wiped out. In addition, although the fire runes refined into the body were crude, it was because Qi Suichu's strength had declined and he was unable to complete more delicate steps.

Moreover, the flame rune has already begun to merge with the Pheasant Phoenix, which means that the Pheasant Phoenix's body has great potential in the future.

It can be said that all that is missing is to merge into a divine thought and transform into an incarnation.

This does not conflict with the female corpse prepared earlier. The only thing to pay attention to is whether it can withstand the soul splitting.

After thinking it over again and again, Shen Lian made up his mind that he also wanted the body of the pheasant. Preparing an extra clone might be useful in the future.

After all, the role of the secondary soul clone is fixed, and from now on it can only be used to transcend resentment and cultivate merit.

After having this idea, he calmed down again and began to study the problem of soul division.

His secondary soul was separated by practicing the Wanling Fairy Puppet Technique. I wonder if the Juezhan Magpie's Nest Technique can separate another one.

You still have to give it a try first. If it doesn’t work, then you have no choice.

After carefully studying the technique of occupying the magpie's nest, Shen Lian discovered that this technique was also very profound and mysterious. Although it was not as good as his technique of all spirits being puppeted and spirit puppets being possessed, it was also one of the top secret techniques in the world of immortal cultivation.

The idea of ​​a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest is that an outsider invades and domineeringly occupies the soul of another person, achieving a kind of symbiosis and then devouring him.

"This technique is derived from the Nascent Soul Three-Element Clone Technique. It takes the best of both worlds and lowers the threshold for cultivation. The ultimate goal is the Nascent Soul Three-Element Clone Technique."

After looking through the entire art of occupying the magpie's nest, Shen Lian found this sentence.

The Nascent Soul Three-Element Clone Technique is a secret method of refining an incarnation. It requires the Nascent Soul level to practice. The practitioner needs a physical body, a Nascent Soul, and a soul, and the three elements are combined into one to create another self.

Among these three conditions, the physical body can be robbed from others, or you can refine it yourself using some rare treasures.

In comparison, the technique of occupying the magpie's nest is relatively easier. After all, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators have practiced for one or two thousand years, and it is quite difficult to erase their consciousness and aura.

…

One year later.

Inside the cave.

A three-foot-long, skinny little phoenix was suspended in the air, emitting a burning breath.

Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction. It was a little ugly, but it would grow taller.

"Gu!"

The pheasant flapped its wings, looked up and chirped.

"Gu!"

At the same time, Shen Lian's throat moved and he opened his mouth and shouted.

"Fuck, this sequelae."

He was speechless as he was grabbed by the neck.

Although there are some side effects of occupying someone else's nest, this happened too quickly. Even he, a dignified Yuanying Zhenjun, was affected.

"It still takes some time to adapt. The newly separated spirit and soul have not yet been fully integrated."

The sub-soul No. 2 separated this time is much weaker than the sub-soul No. 1 of Merit. The strength of its spiritual power is only about 30,000 feet, which is at the Jindan level.

However, Shen Lian did not care about it. He would wait for the second deputy soul to merge with the soul left by Zhifeng and take full control of it before slowly improving himself.

What he was thinking about was another question, whether he could continue to separate his spirit and soul. The pheasant was a monster with fire attribute, and he would practice fire magic in the future.

In addition to fire, there are four other elements: gold, wood, water and earth. If he creates a clone for each of them, I don't know if his body can handle it. It would be bad if he develops schizophrenia.

The incarnation of merit, the physical body originally came from the five elements spiritual creatures, and was refined with the essence and blood of the original life.

The pheasant and phoenix clones and the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest technique are separated. If you trace back to its source, it is the Nascent Soul clone technique that can only be practiced by Nascent Soul cultivators.

At this moment, Shen Lian entered the cave in the warehouse and saw the female corpse lying in the jade box. This was the embryo of his clone that he had loved before Chi Feng.

If he wanted to sacrifice and refine it into an incarnation, he had two ways.

One is like Qian Dai, who sacrificed it to refine it into his life spirit corpse.

The other one is to sacrifice and refine it into a natal puppet.

Although he already has a natal puppet, the merit clone was made up of spiritual objects from heaven and earth from the very beginning, and was also refined using the Wanlingxian Puppet Technique.

The Wanlingxian Puppetry Technique and the puppet inheritance passed down in the world of immortal cultivation belong to two different paths. Therefore, according to the puppet inheritance in the world of immortal cultivation, he can really be said to have no natal puppet.

"The soul is a big problem."

After separating a part of his soul again, Shen Lian did not feel that there was much of a problem. The strength of his spiritual power was far beyond his own realm. A strong spiritual power represented a strong force of suppression.

But just because there are no problems now doesn’t mean there won’t be problems in the future.

"Refine the Glazed Tianyun Pill as soon as possible to increase the strength of your divine consciousness."

The only regret is that the current strength of this Pheasant and Phoenix clone is too low, and even with the fire rune it will take time to settle.

Fortunately, we are currently in the wilderness, so there is no rush to send this clone out.

…

Secret place.

The soaring clouds were still stirring the void, and several huge spirit ships or flying magical instruments were suspended in the outer void.

At this moment, the mountains, forests, and vegetation at the entrance to the secret realm had long disappeared without a trace, and a large gap in the land was torn out by energy.

Everyone gathered outside the entrance, watching the turmoil in the secret realm. In addition to the cultivators in the open, there were also several Nascent Soul level auras lurking in the dark.

A female cultivator in a black dress was shrouded in black clouds. She stretched out her hand, touched the two big peaches, and pulled out a jade talisman for communication.

"Brother Lu, why can't I contact you? The secret realm is about to open. Let's go explore it together."

Not long after, the communication jade talisman lit up.

"Brother Qian, I advise you not to go in. Lu observed the sky at night and found that this place has a very bad omen."

Qian Dai frowned. He had finally managed to contact Shen Lian, but he didn't expect to hear such words.

"This secret realm has attracted Nascent Soul cultivators from all directions. Even if there is any danger, we can turn it into a blessing by joining forces."

"Are there many Nascent Soul cultivators?"

"Several major sects in Tiannan are here, and cultivators from outside the cultivation world are here as well."

Inside the cave.

Shen Lian grabbed the communication jade talisman and said, "Brother Qian, why don't you run away quickly? This place is extremely dangerous!"

Why is fat Qian Dai so greedy?

Thinking of the gloomy atmosphere under the black water, he always felt that things were not simple, and naturally he could not go in at this time.

Instead of going in, it is better to practice outside while waiting. In case something really happens and the people inside escape in a panic, and if they are seriously injured, half of their body is broken, their Nascent Soul is shattered, etc., can't we select a few people with karma to enforce justice?

The merit gained from killing a Nascent Soul level karmic obstacle is comparable to the power of liberating the resentment of millions.

Now, I can practice and transcend resentment at the same time without any delay. Killing the monks with karma is like making extra money.
