Chapter 2232 - 2225: May I Trouble the Prince to Enlighten Me

"Strange, where did that bastard go, running off from home?"

After returning to his estate, Zhang Menglong searched for information about the Tower of Gods and Demons while monitoring the neighboring estate.

The estate of the recently born Xiaolin had dozens of Transcenders guarding it, and even a Realm Breaker was stationed there, yet Zhang Menglong’s Soul Power easily evaded their perception and detected everything within the estate.

All evening, Xiaolin did not return to his residence, possibly off enjoying himself somewhere. Zhang Menglong was waiting to see his reaction when he finally returned and saw his estate’s name on breaking down in frustration.

So Zhang Menglong began researching the information on the Tower of Gods and Demons.

Up until now, numbers 1 to 9 Power Seeds have appeared, but so far, only numbers 3, 4, and 7 have matured, while the remaining seeds are still in fierce competition.

It’s said that those who possess mature Power Seeds have an ability called "Explosion Seed," allowing them to instantly unleash the Power Seed, boosting their strength, speed, and Energy Intensity by 5 to 10 times, potentially turning the tide in critical moments.

This heightens expectations for what kind of power inheritance can be obtained after gathering all the Power Seeds.

Of course, some have doubted whether this power might harm the body, but so far, no one has experienced backlash from the Power Seed. The most that happens is a temporary weakness after using a Power Seed, a side effect shared by many Secret Techniques.

Therefore, everyone views the power inheritance of the Tower of Gods and Demons as a gift from deities and demons.

The three individuals with complete Power Seeds hope others can quickly gather the remaining Power Seeds, yet they can only absorb seeds with the same number as theirs, unable to absorb other Power Seeds. This leaves them feeling frustrated for having all this strength but nowhere to use it.

"So there are still six seeds that haven’t matured," Zhang Menglong pondered.

The Ancient Humans’ Soul Shard is hidden extraordinarily well, and even right before Zhang Menglong completely assimilated it into his power, it showed no signs of being harmful.

But the Ancient God said that once these Soul Shards awaken, they will continually seek to grow stronger until they restore themselves, hence before complete restoration, they might not show any ambition.

Zhang Menglong guesses that once all the Energy Seeds are fully restored and absorbed by one person, that will be when the Ancient Humans’ soul truly awakens.

"I’ve wanted to try this Secret Technique for a long time, and today I found the opportunity!"

Zhang Menglong entered the Cultivation Room of his estate and sat down. As he chanted under his breath, countless characters resembling ancient runes gradually rotated around his body, eventually coagulating into six humanoid figures looking like statues.

Nuwa’s Secret Art, a technique Zhang Menglong found in Gou Dan’s original database, requires Ultimate Life Form status to use.

It can create up to 10 clones, and these clones will possess a portion of the caster’s power but remain independent. The death of any individual does not affect others or the main body.

These clones even have the ability to grow on their own, training and becoming stronger like independent life forms, potentially developing individual consciousness and thoughts.

When they die completely, all power returns to the main body, meaning this is like using amplified acceleration hacks for cultivation! The most remarkable part is that after a clone dies, you can create new ones, but no more than 10 can exist concurrently.

Like a deity creating humans, Zhang Menglong gazed at the six clones as life slowly germinated within them, growing stronger continually.

"As my clones, you mustn’t be unattractive!" With a thought, Zhang Menglong gave them impeccably three-dimensional facial features.

"Leonardo, I grant you the Chaotic Eight Styles."

"Hugo, I grant you the Burning Art and the Strange Fire."

"Peng Yuyan, I grant you Pangu’s Essence Blood."

"Wu Yanzu, I grant you the Bloodline of the Golden Horned Beast."

"Jiao Enjun, I grant you eight Ancestral Talismans."

"Yan Kuan, I unlock your fifth order Gene Lock and Soul Lock."

As Zhang Menglong called out each clone’s name, they gradually gained names, consciousness, and thoughts.

They understood they were just a clone of Zhang Menglong and were clear about their mission, but from today onward, they would become independent entities, continually becoming stronger until death.

The six clones slowly opened their eyes, and at this moment, Zhang Menglong could feel they were all unique, independent entities with their own consciousness and thinking, living not for anyone else.

"All First Grade Transcenders," Zhang Menglong handed each a spatial storage device loaded with Supreme Crystals as their start-up funds. Whatever level they eventually reach was no longer Zhang Menglong’s concern.

"Go, first apply for a noble title in the Holy Kingdom, then check out the Tower of Gods and Demons," Zhang Menglong said, "By the way, try not to cause any conflict with that guy named Xiaolin Chu Sheng; I’ll deal with him directly later."

The clones nodded and then one by one left the estate. Zhang Menglong believed they would each create their own stories.

After doing all this, Zhang Menglong felt a substantial void in his powers; naturally, this Secret Technique couldn’t come without side effects.

He slept deeply until being awoken by the estate’s guard.

"Great Dragon Prince, Prince Xiaolin Chu Sheng is outside the estate wanting to see you," the Realm Breaker cautiously reported.

A Level Five Alchemist, even a Dominator wouldn’t dare act casually.

"Is that so?" Zhang Menglong became spirited immediately, "Take me to see him."

"Prince, Prince Xiaolin’s mood doesn’t seem very good. You should mentally prepare; I fear conflict when you meet."

"Huh? I don’t even know him; why would I have a conflict?" Zhang Menglong asked knowingly.

"He said the name you gave to your estate offended the dignity of his country."

"Psycho," Zhang Menglong muttered as he left the estate, only to see Xiaolin Chu Sheng outside. Upon seeing Zhang Menglong, Xiaolin’s expression flashed with surprise.

In his mind, the one who would choose such a cheeky name must be that damn Huaxia man.

But he had been investigating Zhang Menglong’s information, and supposedly after entering the Blood Pond, Zhang Menglong vanished without a trace; dead or missing remains unknown.

Upon witnessing the Great Dragon Prince himself, he could almost confirm that this was not Zhang Menglong. Despite some similarities in demeanor, their appearance, aura, and mental fluctuations suggested they were completely unrelated individuals.

"Prince Xiaolin, right? What do you mean by causing such a disturbance at my doorstep?" Zhang Menglong questioned threateningly.

"Change your estate’s name. In my country, shrines are very sacred places, not to be defiled."

"But my estate is called the Divine Toilet. What does that have to do with shrines?" Zhang Menglong responded with feigned innocence, "Can you enlighten me, Prince?"

For a moment, Xiaolin Chu Sheng didn’t know how to explain. Would he have to say in a country he despises, shrines are called the Divine Toilet, and that name carries strong insult?
