Chapter 550 - 240: Clone
To his surprise, this Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow had a full nine layers!
According to the description, after mastering the First Layer of the Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow, one could condense a True Gang Avatar... but this avatar had a short duration and virtually no combat ability.
...It was just an ordinary ’Mind-Residing Avatar.’
Upon reaching the Second Layer, it would be considered a ’War Gang Avatar.’
It could channel ten percent of the main body’s power into the avatar... which would have a longer duration and possess one-tenth of the original’s strength.
From then on, each subsequent layer increased the channeled combat power by another ten percent.
All the way to the Ninth Layer, it could reach eighty percent of the main body’s combat power!
Moreover, its duration was extremely long.
...As long as the True Gang within the War Gang Avatar wasn’t completely depleted, it could exist almost indefinitely.
However, the War Gang Avatar couldn’t recover True Gang on its own, so as long as it existed, it was essentially in a constant state of consumption.
Unless it possessed some kind of energy-filled object, which could ensure the avatar’s True Gang was barely lost.
...This naturally reminded Qin Fang of the War Gang Avatar his master had left inside his Token.
’I wonder which layer of the Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow Master has cultivated to?’
Qin Fang wondered curiously.
...As for Clone Leaf Skills, the entire Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect only had one: this Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow.
It had no requirements for one’s Nature.
Therefore, his master must have also cultivated this Leaf Skill.
Qin Fang took a deep breath and decided to redeem it.
But one look at the price made him click his tongue in astonishment... a full one hundred thousand contribution points!
...The good news, however, was that all nine layers were included.
But a hundred thousand contribution points was naturally nothing to Qin Fang, so he immediately chose to redeem it.
The Jade Scroll for ’Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow’ dropped down, and he learned it on the spot.
Instantly, a vast torrent of information washed through his sea of consciousness. He memorized it carefully, a look of sudden understanding gradually appearing on his face.
...The True Gang circulation path for this Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow was far more complex than even the Body Technique Leaf Skill.
Furthermore, it required a mineral called ’Yan Gang Stone’ to assist in cultivation.
After integrating this item into the body, its properties could greatly increase the time True Gang could exist outside the body and reduce its natural depletion.
...True Gang was much more condensed than True Essence and could exist outside the body.
But this ’existence’ was only relative; it simply meant it lasted longer than True Essence.
And the greatest function of this ’Yan Gang Stone’ was to extend the ’True Gang’s’ time outside the body...
’It seems that even without cultivating the Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow, absorbing this Yan Gang Stone would still have a significant effect... It would directly enhance my combat power.’
Qin Fang thought to himself.
A short while later, he had completely memorized the Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow and let out a long breath.
’Even more things to spend money on...’
Whether one cultivated ’Divine Gang Mysterious Shadow’ or not, this Yan Gang Stone was very useful for Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artists... He feared the supply wouldn’t be able to meet the demand.
He shook his head.
After exhaling lightly, he walked toward the Profound Water District... naturally to redeem the Fourth Layer of the ’Profound Nether True Water Scripture.’
He had now reached the Divine Illumination Realm. Of the True Essence Five Realms, he had already reached the Fourth Realm, with only the final realm remaining.
This realm was called the ’Guizhen Realm.’
’The True Martial Five Realms—the Guizhen Realm. The Five Qi Chaoyuan, one’s True Nature and Appearance are realized. All meridian hubs throughout the body are opened, the True Essence circulates and forms its own universe, Divine Qi and spirit embrace, giving rise to Endless Life.’
’At this stage, one’s Nature reaches Perfection... It completely fuses with the cultivator’s true self and True Intent, becoming a single, indivisible whole, laying the perfect foundation to ascend to the Divine Realm.’
This was the general path to the Fifth Realm.
...He had now succeeded in Condensing Gang, and his True Essence had transformed into True Gang, but his True Gang had not yet reached the point where its ’circulation forms its own universe.’
The Primordial Stream Realm had only slightly increased his recovery speed; it couldn’t achieve ’Endless Life.’
Only by reaching the Guizhen Realm could one achieve ’Endless Life.’
It could ’massively increase’ the recovery speed of True Gang!
...Of course, the increase in combat power was definitely not as enormous as the transition from ’Condensing Truth’ to ’Condensing Gang.’
However, it laid the groundwork for later stepping into ’Divine Techniques.’
...It was said that the consumption of Divine Techniques, a type of ’Innate Leaf Skill,’ was extremely astonishing. Without the recovery ability of the Guizhen Realm, one probably couldn’t even afford to use such ’Innate Leaf Skills’...
After Qin Fang redeemed the Fourth Layer of the ’Profound Nether True Water Scripture’ and read its contents, his eyes gradually brightened...
𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
’It seems... only after reaching Guizhen does this Profound Nether True Water Scripture... truly begin to reveal its power...’
The most formidable aspect of the Profound Nether Return and Storage was not just the Profound Nether Nature, but also one other thing... a massive amount of True Gang and True Essence!
After all, the Kidney Palace governed growth and recovery.
However, this aspect was not particularly obvious in the first three layers.
But upon reaching the Guizhen Realm, according to the description, it was completely different...
The ’Guicang’ characteristic would gradually be brought into play!
Qin Fang’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as he read the description in the Secret Manual.
...If it was truly as the Secret Manual described, then in the future... the sheer depth of his True Essence would likely be incomparable to that of ordinary people...
He felt a faint sense of anticipation.
After memorizing the Fourth Layer of the Profound Nether True Water Scripture, Qin Fang let out a light breath. Seeing that he still had over eight hundred thousand contribution points, he looked toward the other bookshelves.
He ended up walking toward the auxiliary Leaf Skill section and redeemed the Second Layer of both the Void Spiritual Eyes and the Deep Stream Returning Technique.
...These auxiliary Leaf Skills were the type that became more useful in the Late Stage.
In the early stages, they were actually not that useful... because they couldn’t deceive experts.
Now that Qin Fang had reached the Condensing Realm, although he wasn’t considered a particularly high-level expert... he could, at least, be considered mid-tier.
Since he had the means, it was only natural that he should practice these auxiliary Leaf Skills.
