Li Mu finally chose to give up letting Chen Rui return to his original body. The reason for this was not only because of the reminder given to him by Yin Ruolan, but more importantly, although Chen Rui was his clone, he already had his own thoughts at the moment of his birth. Apart from giving him life, Li Mu's personality was completely different from Li Mu's. To some extent, Chen Rui could indeed be regarded as an independent individual. If he allowed him to restore the memory of his original body and let the original body dominate the thinking of the clone, he would completely wipe out Chen Rui. In the end, he couldn't do it.
"In that case, from now on you will be you and I will be me!" Li Mu murmured, and then his mind moved, and he completely severed the cause and effect between himself and Chen Rui. Although this would cause certain damage to himself, he still did it resolutely.
He understood that only in this way could Chen Rui truly become an independent individual and no longer be influenced or bound by him.
The moment he severed his connection with Chen Rui, a force of law suddenly emerged from Li Mu's sea of consciousness, whizzing past like a dragon, and then rushed into the deepest part of Li Mu's sea of consciousness.
Li Mu discovered that his cultivation had actually loosened a little. This power of law not only repaired the damage he had suffered when the connection between him and Chen Rui was severed, but also slightly improved his cultivation!
Although the improvement is not great, it is definitely many times greater than the benefits brought by allowing Chen Rui to return to his original body!
Li Mu was shocked and murmured, "Using oneself to help others, is this the true method of cultivation in the Hongmeng Ancestral Realm?"
Over the past trillions of years, Li Mu has created nearly one hundred trillion clones. Although his character has been tempered and his cultivation has improved through experiencing their experiences, it is only slightly better than the improvement in his cultivation by severing the connection between him and Chen Rui.
If you find the right method of cultivation, then it is only a matter of time before you can reach the peak level of the Hongmeng Ancestor.
Thinking of this, Li Mu once again produced hundreds of trillions of light particles from his sea of consciousness and dropped them onto the life planets in various small universes.
Just as he was about to transform those particles into children like last time, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and after a moment's hesitation, he made a decision. Under his will, hundreds of billions of particles flew towards the woman who was about to conceive...
Perhaps the clone that was created last time was directly in the infant state, and Li Mu always felt that something was missing. His perception was not complete, and the performance of those clones was not satisfactory. Only one of the hundreds of billions of clones has survived to this day. Therefore, Li Mu decided to do it more thoroughly this time and let all the clones be born naturally.
He no longer worried about the cause and effect of his clones. He had already made up his mind to cut off ties with them when their clones grew to a certain size. These clones would eventually become independent individuals. Strictly speaking, he now only considered himself an observer, and the actions of his clones would have nothing to do with him personally.
…………
Twenty years passed in a flash. Except for a few of Li Mu's billions of clones who died and returned to their original bodies, the rest have all grown up. Their family backgrounds are different. Some were born into wealthy and powerful families, some were born into powerful cultivation families, and some were born into poor families. Each clone has his own life.
Li Mu tentatively severed the connection between himself and several clones, but found that the improvement in his cultivation was very limited, and even far less than the loss he suffered from losing his clones. This time, Li Mu lost.
Helpless, Li Mu could only continue to wait.
…………
Another ten thousand years passed, and most of Li Mu's billions of clones had already exhausted their lifespans and returned to their original bodies. The remaining clones successfully ascended to the fairyland or became immortals.
Li Mu tried again to sever the cause and effect between one of his clones and himself, but he was still at a loss.
…………
In the 250,000th year, the first clone was promoted to the realm of creation. Li Mu did not rush to verify the severance of cause and effect, but chose to continue waiting, because it was too difficult to successfully create the world. The first clone who could successfully create the world was not only the best among this batch of clones, but also one of the top existences. Li Mu did not want to waste it in vain.
…………
In the one millionth year, the last clone of the Immortal Emperor realm ran out of life and returned to his original body. Li Mu began to make an experiment. He severed the connection between the cultivator who was promoted to the God of Creation last. This time, Li Mu was finally no longer in a loss-making state. This time, severing the cause and effect of the clone brought the benefits to his realm that exceeded the loss of the clone for the first time, and he even made a lot of money. However, compared with severing the cause and effect between Chen Rui and himself, this benefit was still much worse.
…………
In the 150 billionth year, Li Mu severed the cause and effect relationship between himself and the best of this batch of clones, an Eternal Immortal Ancestor's peak-level clone. So far, except for those clones that fell and returned, all of the clones in this batch had their cause and effect severed with himself and became independent individuals in the true sense.
Li Mu's cultivation level broke through to the second level of Hongmeng Ancestor in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a great harvest.
Through this experience of clone training, Li Mu came to the following conclusions:
1. Only by letting the clones be born naturally and having a complete life experience can one gain a higher level of understanding;
2. After the clone attains enlightenment and advances to the level of Void Immortal Ancestor, severing the cause and effect between him and himself can improve his cultivation to the highest level. After that, every time the clone advances to a higher level, his cultivation level will be improved to a greater extent. Even if he cuts off the cause and effect with the clone of the Eternal Immortal Ancestor, who is the best and has the highest cultivation level so far, Li Mu will only break even.
…………
After summarizing the experience and lessons, Li Mu once again separated hundreds of trillions of light particles from his sea of consciousness and scattered them on random life planets in various small ordinary universes, starting a new round of clone training.
What is different from the last time is that in order to make his clones more capable of survival and to allow them to go further in their cultivation, Li Mu bestowed a law of will on some of his clones. Li Mu called it a "system". This system is born with the clone and will be activated at a specific time and bound to the clone.
After binding to the clone, the system can not only guide the clone's training, but also provide protection for the clone at specific times.
However, this is ultimately a form of external interference, and Li Mu doesn't know whether this is good or bad. Therefore, he did not apply the system to his clones on a large scale. He only added the system to a small number of clones, which was considered a trial phase.
