Sitting on the warm floor of the first floor of the mysterious pagoda, Noah closed his eyes and imrsed his consciousness into the depths of his soul space, where he had stuffed all the information he had collected all throughout his existence.
He stepped into a familiar cool embrace of his soul essence. A special energy different from the qi of the planet humd with ageless power as rows of jade slips appeared before him one by one.
The jade slips floated silently, each containing a different set of knowledge, maybe a technique lost in ti or knowledge more precious than the world itself.
These jades were special; after all, each of them held the information he obtained from Elysia. Just looking at the number of them, any normal human would be overwheld.
Noah’s eyes instantly shifted to a jade glowing with dark light.
"Profound Self Embodint." He murmured, palm pressing against the cool jade. A rush of information flooded his mind, and yet, Noah did not feel much besides a gentle rush.
"I did not expect this..." Noah opened his eyes and whispered in surprise. "The technique almost touches upon the concept of laws of nature."
Profound Self Embodint was a cloning technique. But unlike the basic solid and illusionary clones, this technique had different functions and requirents.
One had to be at least in the soul formation realm to even have the chance to cultivate this technique.
"But this is not the case for ." Noah looked into his soul realm and felt the abundance of the energy coming out of his humongous soul. "With this much soul essence, practicing this technique will prove no challenges for ."
’Shall we start?’ Clearing his mind, Noah circulated his qi according to the manual. His consciousness sank inward, past ridians and dantian, until he stood in endless void.
This attempt felt much longer than Noah had expected. He had already gotten used to cultivating with his mind filled with several thoughts, and now he had to start over.
Back to the basics.
Clear his mind and surround himself with the darkness within.
Noah was not alone for long. Before him another figure materialized—one perfect mirror of himself.
’Sothing is lacking.’ Noah could instantly understand what was missing when he saw the lack of life in the eyes of his clone.
Woosh!
With a gentle nudge from his consciousness, the energy from his soul realm entered this clone.
The mont it happened, the clone changed. It was now brimming with life, showing more human-like emotions.
"How fascinating." It was not Noah who spoke but his clone.
"Indeed, if only there was a spell like this in my previous world. I never even thought of creating one." Noah replied himself.
Opening his eyes, he conjured the technique once more, and the clone he had ford before appeared in real life.
’This clone is like an extension of my body. Anything it does reflects back on .’ Thinking of this, Noah conjured a bolt of lightning and struck the clone without a second of hesitation.
Crackle!
"Urgh!" The clone groaned but showed no signs of anger even when it felt the pain.
’Not only that, I don’t even feel the damage it takes.’
Just like that, ti continued to pass within the pagoda while Noah kept experinting with the clone.
With so analysis, he realized that the clone was capable of many things.
It could practice techniques for him, and once he rged back with the soul essence within the clone, he would rge with the techniques as if he had practiced them on his own.
But if soone killed the clone and the soul essence dispersed, all the efforts of the clone would go to waste.
Noah can get real-ti information from clones no matter how far they are. It induces an impact on the user’s soul, but Noah’s was too big for him to feel anything.
As for the strength of the clone, each clone had a different strength based on how much power he used to create them. These clones might not be able to use magic, but if made properly, each one held the power of a core formation realm expert.
Another convenient feature it has is that the clones can gather qi on their own and sustain themselves endlessly without fearing running out of the energy.
The clones were also able to change their appearances based on what he wanted them to look like. They were not bound by the constraints of age, gender, or even race.
"This much should be fine." Noah looked at ten of his clones standing before him and nodded in satisfaction. "Practice the techniques I have already learned. Perfect them and go beyond."
Saying this, he turned and disappeared from the first floor, leaving the clones behind to practice.
Fourth floor.
Unlike the first floor, this floor was ho to all sorts of array formations. Be it the ancient formation or even the lost runes. Everything had turned the floor into a fortress.
Even the first floor could not compare to this floor in size.
Noah stepped into existence and then started waving his hands in the air. The dormant formations ca to life and started moving as if they were making way for him.
’This should be the perfect place for to prepare for a breakthrough.’
Using the power of the arrays, Noah connected the pagoda to the outside world, drawing upon the faint traces of the laws of the universe.
Even though Noah could not see those threads of laws, he could feel their oppressive aura filling the law. The air thickened with invisible pressure, each thread of law coiling around Noah like serpents testing prey. He settled cross-legged at the formation’s heart, palms resting on his lap.
’Ti to forge the soul core.’
Noah exhaled, guiding his mind to his soul realm once more.
His attention went to the Golden Blossom Lotus settled under the weight of his soul.
The treasured artifact was pulsing with otherworldly power as it devoured a portion of his soul essence before releasing an even more pure and potent energy, which rged into his giant soul, healing the cracks and injuries he had accumulated over ti.
’If I focus on healing, it should take less than a year for to get rid of the lingering damages.’ After all, Noah already knew most of his injuries were already healed. But his soul was so pure, vast, and majestic that even to heal those lingering scratches, he needed so ti.
Without wasting any more ti, Noah imrsed himself in cultivation.
[Profound Self Embodint—modified version]
Zheng!
Grasping the essence of the technique, Noah created a different version of a peak Heaven Grade Technique on the spot.
This ti he did not create a material clone of himself, but his consciousness was divided into two parts, both capable of working on their own.
He did not need to just focus on one thing because of this technique. One part of Noah focused on connecting to the Golden Blossom Lotus and healing his soul, while the other sat there channeling the next part of his cultivation technique through his body, preparing to break through the next realm.
’It feels weird to control two things at once, but this technique is making it possible for .’ Noah wondered as he unfurled the pages of his cultivation technique.
Primordial Sutra of creation!
A technique of unknown grade and origin that Noah found after rging several different techniques.
’Soul Formation Realm...’ as he read through the contents of the verse of the technique, the laws drawn from the outside world surrounded his body.
After forging the golden core, the cultivators have to take a major step to cross the threshold of being a mortal being.
Soul Formation Realm was, as he understood, a boundary where the real journey to immortality starts.
Once he manages to comprehend the intent of a certain law, the path he chose for himself will be solidified.
’The soul shall transcend the stairs of laws and grind the power of its essence to beco a beacon of new beginning.
One with the world and one with thyself, everything in the universe starts and ends at the origin.
As the wheel of ti turns and the shell is broken, a new life is born— A Soul Materialized.’
With each word he comprehended, the importance of laws increased in Noah’s mind.
In the sa position, he finally decided to steal the path he had decided to walk. No, the truth was he had been walking this path all along.
From his first life, anchoring it to this world and still ongoing.
Noah reached out to the most basic law he could sense, which followed the elents of his Dharma.
One of the most basic laws is that of the universe, but at the sa ti, it is one of the most crucial ones, as without it, there is no light.
The Law of...
