The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 422 363: Successfully Refining a Clone

Time flew by, nearly a month passed, and finally, Wen Shiyu completed all the preliminary work for the Outer Body Incarnation.

Chu Huaixu sighed once again at the slow efficiency over at Kunlun Cave Heaven.

"Closing a retreat takes no less than a decade, sometimes even decades."

"Such longevity, it's really hard to evaluate."

Upon entering the room, Wen Shiyu immediately greeted Chu Huaixu respectfully.

"Shiyu greets Master."

Nangong Yue, observing her seductive and flattering demeanor from the side, couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.

She glanced at Chu Huaixu with her peripheral vision, seeing her young disciple remain unaffected, she felt slightly relieved.

It's said that a gentle town is a hero's tomb.

Although a servant now, once they engage intimately, the relationship changes significantly.

Nangong Yue still insisted on "those who are not of my race, their hearts must differ."

Ultimately, she hoped that Chu Huaixu would be more cautious around Wen Shiyu.

"I'll remind him another day," Nangong Yue thought.

After all, in her heart, he was still just a young boy.

Yet on the opposite side was an old monster living for over a thousand years.

Chu Huaixu seated himself cross-legged, retrieving the Evil Pill from the Dao Generating One, then took out the Holy Water from the Storage Token.

Wen Shiyu watched with great interest from the side.

In the Origin Spirit Realm, this sinister translucent Elixir Pearl left a deep impression on her.

Her joyous Buddha statue was destroyed by the Elixir Pearl, also being devoured into it.

"So, can it still be extracted again?" She thought.

That object is quite valuable.

Simplistically, it can also be used to... enhance excitement?

In Wen Shiyu's eyes, as long as a man gets a taste of it, he wouldn't care about servant status.

Why does pillow talk work?

Isn't it because while speaking, soft flesh presses against your chest, tender lips touch your sensitive ear?

How can it not work?

Chu Huaixu remained unaware of the old woman's sly thoughts, always thinking of shortcuts like this.

The Evil Pill dissipated into the world, causing him a bit of heartache.

"Oh well, I'll borrow some more from the Bronze Sword later."

Isn't this also a form of "Borrowed Sword"?

The Four Symbols Spirit Root floated above Chu Huaixu's palm, and with a wave of his hand, it drifted toward Wen Shiyu.

She couldn't help but marvel: "Four Symbols Spirit Root is a top-level spirit root, Ye Kongxuan must have spent a lot of effort to find this exceptionally gifted body."

After all, those with Spirit Root are one in a million.

And those with top-level Spirit Root are one in a million within a million!

Curious, Chu Huaixu asked Wen Shiyu:

"What level is your Spirit Root?"

Wen Shiyu replied with a smile: "Master, it's naturally top-level Spirit Root."

"After I became a disciple of my master, I essentially became a direct disciple of the Kunlun Saint Sect. My resources are incomparable to Ye Kongxuan, a loose cultivator."

"I'm quite amazed at where he found such a top-tier body."

"I even suspect..."

At this, Wen Shiyu stopped speaking.

"Why not continue?" Chu Huaixu glanced at her sideways.

Initially thinking her master genuinely sought an answer, Wen Shiyu saw the playful smile on Chu Huaixu's face...

It was clear he already knew why she stopped.

This made her swallow nervously, putting on a fearful expression, she knelt and said:

"Shiyu was wrong, please forgive me, Master."

Nangong Yue watched the scene unfold, utterly confused.

Then, she saw Chu Huaixu step forward a few paces, standing before the kneeling Wen Shiyu.

He actually raised his toe to lift Wen Shiyu's chin, compelling her to look at him.

Chu Huaixu coldly gazed down at her, saying:

"You're thinking your master might have helped him find the body, in exchange for entering the Origin Spirit Realm, aren't you?"

"Tsk, no wonder they say—Immortal Venerables cannot be trifled with!"

"You're now in the Profound Yellow Realm, and sometimes don't even dare to mention it, tsk tsk." Chu Huaixu marveled.

But he also felt anew the formidable oppressive force of Immortal Venerables over other cultivators!

Wen Shiyu, once a Nascent Soul True Monarch, was merely one realm apart on the surface.

This fear, or awe, had already seeped into her bones.

Nangong Yue watched the scene and listened to their exchange, feeling slight surprise.

But for some reason, she suddenly felt her earlier worries for Chu Huaixu seemed unnecessary.

"It seems there's no need for me to remind him at all."

"Those who are not of my race, their hearts must differ."

"But it seems Huaixu didn't regard her as human at all."

....

....

The final step in refining the Outer Body Incarnation went perfectly.

Chu Huaixu began the technique, attempting to establish a connection.

Initially, this process failed repeatedly.

Because he lacked the immortal power and awareness of a cultivator within himself.

But afterward, when he tried to use the power within the Black Jade Lotus Platform, it succeeded right away.

And as for the so-called Outer Body Incarnation, it really was just like having a clone.

Chu Huaixu even felt as if he now possessed two bodies.

He could nearly achieve perfect control.

"In this way, its utility is limitless," he thought to himself.

Sometimes, in dangerous situations, he could let the clone go ahead and scout.

Nangong Yue watched with keen interest as Chu Huaixu controlled the clone, feeling it was incredibly magical.

"Huaixu, can you manage perfect multitasking?" she asked.

"Then why not... master, try this!" At the word from Chu Huaixu, he immediately punched forward.

Nangong Yue laughed softly, and due to her excellent physical condition, her laughter was somewhat like the shaking of flowers.

She stepped back, using her body technique to evade, saying, "Ah! Daring to fight your master now!"

At this time, the clone also moved forward, beginning a two-versus-one.

Nangong Yue knew that Chu Huaixu now needed a sparring partner.

Therefore, she intentionally suppressed her cultivation, mostly dodging and defending, hardly attacking.

Yet throughout the process, Chu Huaixu still discovered some issues.

"Because a part of my will is infused in the clone, when it gets hurt, I can fully feel the pain."

"It's akin to having a divided soul, making it like a partial possession state."

"The overall fluidity of control is actually slightly less than the true body."

"But basically, there's not much of a problem."

"However, for some reason, my pain threshold is almost gone!"

"Damn, it hurts like hell!"

To this, Chu Huaixu was quite speechless.

He always thought that his pain threshold was increasing because his mental willpower was improving.

But now it seems... is it not?

"So, has my body become something that enjoys pain?"

Chu Huaixu felt something was off somewhere.

It seemed as if his body's [attribute] had been forcibly altered, becoming lettered attributes....

This clone temporarily remained in a "healthy mind and body" state.

He silently vowed that he must find a way to include the clone in their small circle!

"Damn it, how can a grown man be so afraid of pain!"

But strictly speaking, he wasn't scared of pain.

Because he had Fearless Sword Intent, he didn't know what fear was.

Just uncomfortable, that's all.

Besides that, basically, there were only minor issues.

For example, controlling the clone didn't achieve the level of perfection required for some high-demand techniques.

Moreover, the clone couldn't perform techniques of the Profound Yellow Realm.

Meaning, Chu Huaixu had to find a way to learn the cultivation techniques and immortal techniques of Kunlun Cave Heaven.

"The cultivation technique can be practiced as originally by Ye Kongxuan."

"With top-tier spirit root here, it's equivalent to Spiritual Embryo 10!"

"It's just a pity that the cultivation speed on the Kunlun Cave Heaven side is too slow."

"Immortal techniques probably also need to be learned gradually."

"I wonder if the system can be used?" Chu Huaixu thought he should go back and research it thoroughly.

If the system is indeed useful, it's actually quite troublesome.

This means that Chu Huaixu's demand for experience points is even greater!

"Raising an alt isn't as easy as it seems."

Wen Shiyu watched from the side, not particularly surprised.

She had seen many Outer Body Incarnations, unlike those outsiders from the Profound Yellow Realm who act all astonished.

"What's so unusual about that?"

As a native of Kunlun, with very low expectations, she was thinking about something else entirely at this moment.

She knew clearly, in Kunlun Cave Heaven, some cultivators played extensively.

After all, the experience with the clone and the true body is nearly the same in all aspects.

So, she wondered if one day she'd be... one in front and one behind by Chu Huaixu?

Instead of being forced, she found herself wanting to be the submissive one.

With this thought, Wen Shiyu's breath quickened a bit, causing her chest to rise and fall.

"I don't know when I'll have the chance to break this master-servant contract and return to my Kunlun?" she sighed in her heart.

At this moment, she looked forward again, once more marveling at Chu Huaixu's strength.

Every time she saw him make a move, she'd feel somewhat unbelievable.

She didn't believe there could be such a strong Third Realm cultivator in the Origin Spirit Realm.

Now, Chu Huaixu had already reached the Fourth Realm, and in one leap, he rose to the Fourth Realm Seventh Heaven.

His current strength had tremendously improved compared to before.

Wen Shiyu couldn't imagine how strong he would become when he became a Great Cultivator?

She understood that when cultivators of the Profound Yellow Realm reached the Fifth Realm, they would undergo a qualitative change.

Just like that, Nangong Yue spared for about an incense's time, continuously offering moves, very patient.

Seeing it was almost enough, she then released two palms, sending Chu Huaixu and the clone flying.

As a result, naturally, Chu Huaixu kept silent, quietly taking the hit. The clone, however, couldn't hold it and let out a scream.

"Ah——!"

...
