Wang Jixuan felt as if he now had two bodies.
This novel experience invigorated him.
No, multitasking is a bit difficult. With powerful enemies outside, he must seize the time.
Wang Jixuan immediately closed his main body's eyes, entering a state similar to meditation, and focused on controlling the Dragon-Python Spirit Soul.
Mature cultivation methods generally have accompanying spells.
The Soul Transfer and Body Seizure technique that came with the 《Dragon-Python Devouring Heaven Art》 was an evil method of controlling puppets using a spirit soul.
Wang Jixuan had never planned to use this before, nor did he feel he needed to control puppets. He only wanted to use the Dragon-Python Devouring Heaven Art to compensate for his lack of combat endurance when his cultivation was low, so he could plunder the remnant soul power of Blade Beasts during battles and create a perpetual motion machine-style fighting mode to deal with the Blade Beast tide.
Unexpectedly, there would be a day when this method would save his life.
Bearing the condemnation of his conscience was better than wasting his Grand Ascension remnant soul!
At worst, he could change his chat remarks from 'Light of the Upright' to 'Person of the Righteous Path' later!
Under the gaze of Spiritualist Number Five, Aunt Dragonfly, and Zheng Shiduo:
Wang Zheng leaned against the passage wall and slowly lowered his head, as if he had fallen asleep; Xing Tian, on the other hand, suddenly came to life, his eyes glowing with a blue light. He staggered a couple of steps like a toddler learning to walk, and then began to walk steadily.
"Go."
'Xing Tian' said in a hoarse voice:
"Try to delay them as much as possible. I need a little time to adapt. The Qi in his body is too mixed."
Spiritualist Number Five wore a look of realization, the corner of her mouth slightly twitching.
A puppet, that's all.
So what if he controlled Xing Tian's body? Xing Tian was just an S-level spiritualist. How could he possibly deal with more than a dozen people?
However, she really didn't expect this guy to have such methods.
"Wang... Brother Wang?" Zheng Shiduo asked in a trembling voice.
"Yeah," 'Xing Tian' Wang Jixuan nodded, "This is a clone I temporarily refined. Type and tell Instructor Shell and the others not to make a sound, lest they be overheard by the enemy. We'll find a way to trick them."
"Damn... Got it!"
Zheng Shiduo shouted excitedly, the shock in his eyes not dissipating for a while.
Aunt Dragonfly couldn't help but mutter, "You, this guy, are becoming more and more like a villain. You can just take over Xing Tian's body at will. Wouldn't that mean we could be..."
"It's just the exigencies of the situation."
Wang Jixuan found it easier and easier to speak through this clone.
He controlled the clone to move forward, took off the storage artifact from his main body's wrist, put it on the clone's wrist, and covered it with his sleeve.
Because these two storage artifacts were relatively ordinary, they were only locked with restrictions. As long as he knew the unlocking sequence, he could open them, which made it convenient for the clone to use them.
The Daoist controlled the clone to take a few steps first, and then began to run forward, quickly adapting to the mechanical structure of this body.
Just in case, he didn't leave any remnant soul of Xing Tian. After the Dragon-Python Spirit Soul successfully took over this body, he refined the last trace of Xing Tian's soul and immediately began to adjust the Qi within this body.
Vast Qi.
If it were another Foundation Establishment cultivator, facing such a large amount of mottled Qi, they would probably be at a loss.
But Wang Jixuan wouldn't.
He had controlled more than ten or a hundred times more mana than this Qi, and that mana was incomparably pure.
By the time he controlled the clone to arrive next to Black Shell and the others, Wang Jixuan had already completed three of the simplest circulation cycles. This Qi had already begun to converge, initially forming a huge Qi vortex.
In fact, given enough time, with a little refining and extraction, reducing the total amount of this Qi by 60%, he could condense a low-quality Golden Core.
Unfortunately, there wasn't that much time.
But it was enough for now.
Wang Jixuan had the clone sit cross-legged and nodded gently to Black Shell and Peony.
"No..."
Black Shell swallowed hard: "This... is to say..."
Wang Jixuan had already begun to transmit a reminder:
"Instructor, negotiate with them first, be firm, you can use detonating your mechanical arm to kill the Black Storm as a condition, and then add Xing Tian as a bonus, and bring Xing Tian to their side."
"Leave the rest to me, I'll go for a sneak attack."
"Okay, got it, understood."
Black Shell frowned and remained silent.
Fu Jian, who was watching this scene through Black Shell's shared perspective, couldn't help but lean back.
Fu Jian really didn't know how many more surprises this guy named Wang Zheng could give him.
'Xing Tian' meditated quietly, seizing every second at this moment.
Every time Wang Jixuan made Xing Tian's Qi circulate in the simplest cycle, it would become purer, and it would also allow his Dragon-Python Spirit Soul to control this body more freely!
The sound of crashing waves appeared within 'Xing Tian'!
'Xing Tian' merely flicked his fingers lightly, and a point of blue light bloomed from around him. This strange phenomenon disappeared in an instant, but his face remained pale.
Boom!
An explosion came from the junction of Area One and the one-way passage.
Raging flames surged towards Area One, and several figures rushed in side by side, their bodies radiating brilliant light, using spiritual energy to condense shields to resist the radiation in front of them.
Black Shell took the initiative to jump out, raised his mechanical arm high, and shouted loudly: "Don't come over!"
The four spiritualists who rushed in first stopped at the same time.
Because they saw the red light on Black Shell's mechanical arm flashing wildly.
"If you come over, I'll just blow up the core pile! I'll drag you down with me!"
Black Shell shouted fiercely:
"If you want the Black Storm, that has nothing to do with us!"
"Everyone is contributing to humanity, there's no need for such internal strife! Give us a condition! I'll hand over the Black Storm to you!"
The four people slowly retreated a few steps, and a middle-aged woman stepped forward.
This was an S-level after awakening, with a ball of blue mist around her, seemingly skilled in water control.
Behind her, the S-level spiritualists were divided into two groups, arranged in a stepped formation.
She said coldly: "Trying to beg for mercy now? Don't waste time, and don't try to delay. Your reinforcements will arrive here in thirty-nine minutes at the earliest."
Black Shell smiled: "It seems you really came prepared. You won't kill the Black Storm, will you?"
"Of course, our boss just wants to invite him back to impart his technology."
"I need to discuss this with..."
"You don't have time."
The middle-aged woman suddenly attacked. She only slightly raised her hand, and two water arrows shot out from around her, triggering sonic booms and slamming into the stone wall beside her.
The stone wall, which had been burned into a glass-like state, instantly collapsed.
A very good display of power.
Black Shell's nostrils were twitching, and he said in a low voice: "Then you should give me some flexible conditions, otherwise we can only start a war with the Spirit Energy Capital. You can ignore me, I'm just a trashy second-generation armor, but behind me is Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian... Aren't you afraid of our mechanical tide?"
"Mechanical tide? What's that?"
"It's nothing," Black Shell smiled, "Your level shouldn't be high, why not ask the person in charge behind you, Meng Jin, is it? Why don't you dare to come closer? Afraid of radiation?"
Meng Jin's voice came: "A marshal should be in the central army, and a vanguard should be a general, just like Instructor Shell. Please hand over the Black Storm. How much energy does your shield have left? Give me the Black Storm, and we'll leave immediately. The Black Storm will definitely not fall into the hands of the Six Elders. This is the promise I can give you."
Black Shell's eyes rolled: "Then will you return it to us after you're done using it?"
Wang Jixuan: ...
Although he knew that Instructor Shell was stalling for time.
But this sounded kind of weird.
Meng Jin smiled: "Of course, we are all in the human camp, just in different parts of the human camp. The gifts of alien civilizations need to be shared by all of humanity. We don't want to monopolize them, but we want to obtain this part of the technology and then promote it, and ultimately... save this fragmented world."
"Wow, an idealist."
Black Shell changed his tone:
"But you this..."
"Enough!" the middle-aged woman scolded coldly, "Hand over the Black Storm!"
"Won't you let me finish speaking?"
Black Shell looked at Xing Tian, who was sitting behind him, and Zheng Shiduo, who had just rushed back, and his heart stirred slightly.
He shouted: "Peony, hold down the Black Storm! Don't let him out!"
Peony froze for one-tenth of a second, and then decisively took action, directly pouncing on Zheng Shiduo and pressing him against the wall, giving Zheng Shiduo a standard grappling hold.
Zheng Shiduo almost moaned in pleasure.
He randomly realized something... X Armor! Similar spiritual energy reaction! He can pretend to be the Black Storm!
Zheng Shiduo closed his mouth, just lowered his head and sighed, and began to act inside the armor.
Black Shell looked at 'Xing Tian' sitting behind him, and continued to shout: "Don't come over! If you come over, I'll just blow him up! You can check the data yourself to see who I am and how many achievements I have. Anyway, this life is worth it. It's a big profit to drag a few of you down to die with me!"
Among the spiritualists, one began to quietly prepare to use mental shock.
And Wu Manji timely stepped forward and stood beside Black Shell.
Because this young man was not tall, his armor was one size smaller than the others, but his spiritual energy fluctuations at this moment, and the faint Buddha light surrounding him, still made the other party stop his small movements with fear.
Wang Jixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, the clone could fight normally, which was much better than he had expected before, but since Instructor Shell could still 'persist', then he would delay as much as possible.
If he didn't make a move, he wouldn't, but if he did, he would have to make a contribution!
Um, using the clone to directly enter the Demonic state, that shouldn't count as entering the Demonic state, right?
The Dragon-Python Spirit Soul itself was a product of demonic cultivation methods, so adding some Demonic Qi to bless himself shouldn't be a problem, right?
Wang Ji's Xuan Ling consciousness spread out from both his main body and his doppelganger simultaneously, the power of his spiritual sense actually two or three times stronger than before—this could be considered a special effect of the doppelganger.
He found the blade beast crystal cores one by one, enveloping them with the power of the alien soul.
By the time he had spent three to five minutes completing this, the Qi within Xing Tian's body had initially transformed into 'mana with quite a few impurities,' and Wang Ji's Xuan's confidence also began to swell.
The negotiations on the black shell side finally entered the right track…
“Alright, I have a total of three things here. Xing Tian is what you want, right? The No. 5 Spirit Cultivator's stone wall, and the black storm. To prove my sincerity, I can give you Xing Tian first, and then, you let some of us leave, how about it?”
Meng Jin's voice, coming from the entrance of the passage, already had a bit of impatience: “If I said I would let you go, then I will let you go.”
“Can the enemy's guarantee even be considered a guarantee?”
“Alright,” Meng Jin said coldly, “You only have three minutes.”
Wang Ji Xuan immediately controlled the doppelganger to lean against the stone wall, his face pale, his breath weak, and wisps of black gas appeared above his head, just like Xing Tian had been before.
A mechanical maid stepped forward, picked up ‘Xing Tian,’ and ran towards the passage entrance.
The black shell used typing to project words onto everyone's faceplates.
[Prepare to attack].
On the other side, Meng Jin made a gesture.
The middle-aged woman directly raised her hand and aimed it at Xing Tian's figure, a water snake blooming from her palm, so generously, slightly disdainfully, and simply directly, dragging ‘Xing Tian’ over.
Their senses had not been wrong.
This was Xing Tian; the scent had not changed, and the total amount of spiritual energy in his body was approaching SS-level because of this advancement ceremony.
In fact, in the middle-aged woman's opinion, the most precious resource here was the S-level material clone body that had been left in the No. 3 area advancement site, protected by a locked special device.
They couldn't directly devour an old-brand spiritual energy user like Xing Tian, whom the Six Elders valued.
‘Xing Tian’ flew over, and she stepped aside, letting Xing Tian fall to the ground on one side.
Then the middle-aged woman urged: “You can let people out now. It will be better when everyone is out and only the black storm is left. We are not interested in killing a few mechanical bodies that can be constantly produced…”
Wang Ji Xuan's main body swallowed.
This was a subconscious reaction.
Although ‘Xing Tian’ was just a doppelganger, and it wouldn't matter if it was lost, the effect of his next move would determine whether he could successfully lead everyone to escape today.
The opportunity was right here.
The doppelganger's mana began to condense, and the crystal cores placed in several warehouses of the secret base began to tremble continuously. The storage magic tool hidden on Wang Ji Xuan's doppelganger's wrist had been lit up.
An old man frowned and looked over, seemingly noticing the abnormality of ‘Xing Tian.’
No more waiting! Right now!
Wang Ji Xuan made a decisive decision!
‘Xing Tian’ lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, flashed and stood up, and a long sword emitting autumn water ripples appeared in his hand at some point, and this long sword burst out with a sword light more than ten meters long.
The sword light swept across!
He attacked with the full power of the ‘doppelganger’!
The total amount of ‘Xing Tian’s’ body was comparable to the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm before the Nascent Soul Realm, and the comprehensive effect was comparable to the mottled mana of the late Golden Core Realm. At this moment, it exploded with full power!
At this moment, Wang Ji Xuan seemed to have returned to that year!
These five S-level spiritual energy users at the very front were indeed the elites of the Tribunal. In this situation, three of them actually reacted, trying to dodge to the side, subconsciously raising their hands, lowering their bodies, and stimulating their own spiritual energy as much as possible.
And this woman, this awakened S-level spiritual energy user, the woman who was good at controlling the power of water essence, was too close to Wang Ji Xuan's sword!
So close that her spiritual energy had not yet poured out of her body, and the mysterious tadpole text on her body had not yet been lit up!
斩 (Zhan)! [Slash]
A cyan light arc bloomed outward like a shock wave.
The sword effortlessly severed the woman's head, and the sharp and unparalleled sword light cut off two arms, one on the left and one on the right. In the No. 1 area in front, the pieces of boulders that had collapsed earlier were cut in half by the sword light!
The might of the Golden Core!
This was the might of the Golden Core!
But it was not enough!
Wang Ji Xuan immediately attacked after making one sword strike. The four S-level spiritual energy users on the left and right had already responded, instinctively retreating backward. Wang Ji Xuan's sword light had already injured these four people, and one of them even had his arm completely severed. Wang Ji Xuan aimed at the old man on the left with the lightest injury and the strongest strength among the four, and stabbed horizontally with his sword.
Seven large stars suddenly shone, and countless sword lights bloomed like a galaxy, engulfing that person in an instant!
Unable to resist.
And there was no way to resist!
How could the old man understand how to resolve the sword array technique used by Wang Ji Xuan? His head, chest, and neck were instantly pierced! He was nailed into the stone by the remaining sword shadows. The rock wall of the passage could not withstand this tyrannical force at all, and a series of explosions came from behind.
A beam of golden light bloomed from the passage entrance behind, which was Meng Jin's decisive attack after realizing something was wrong!
Wang Ji Xuan waved his sword and swept wildly, and a vertical split directly brushed open the blocked passage in front. The sword light collided with the golden light, stirring up bursts of ripples!
The remaining three spiritual energy users had already fled in embarrassment, and seven or eight figures behind them pounced forward, but were forced back by the sword light that Wang Ji Xuan casually swept out.
Wang Ji Xuan had no intention of bringing this doppelganger back intact. He was now attacking at all costs to eliminate the enemy and seek survival. Even if this doppelganger could be left behind, it would be a remnant.
Then let them see, how much ability a cultivator in the late Golden Core Realm really has!
乒 (Pīng)! [Clang]
Thousands of crystal cores shattered at the same time, and the remnant souls of the blade beasts within them were almost simultaneously defeated. Black gas surged from all directions towards ‘Xing Tian.’
The souls were refined, demonic energy filled the sky, and the spiritual sense was amplified, comparable to the Golden Core!
‘Xing Tian’s’ figure slowly floated, the long sword in his hand trembling, black shadows surrounding his body, and the cyan light in his eyes was so bright.
“Spiritual cultivators, watch carefully…”
Wang Ji Xuan's voice was like the cold wind of the nine netherworlds, but it was actually the main body speaking. The doppelganger had already rushed forward with his sword, one person and one sword, facing more than ten spiritual energy experts alone.
“This is how your spiritual energy is used.”
