Chapter 700: Chapter 644: Creating a Human Avatar

In just a dozen breaths, the Profound Turtle vanished from before Tu Xiao’an’s eyes.

It then appeared directly in the system’s Battle Companion interface.

"DING... Congratulations, Host, for successfully subduing the Super Class Rank Three of Enlightenment Profound Turtle. You are rewarded with one Middle Rank Divine Beast Bloodline."

’A Middle Rank Divine Beast Bloodline?’

’Whoa, the system is so generous. It seems this Profound Turtle’s aptitude has truly caught the system’s eye.’

Tu Xiao’an wasn’t particularly surprised, though. This Profound Turtle was indeed extraordinary and otherworldly. It had a Super Class bloodline, controlled Heaven and Earth Elements, and even understood Divination and could foresee destiny. It would likely be impossible to find a second such Divine Turtle in the entire world.

If this turtle hadn’t been so outstanding, Tu Xiao’an would have been tempted to use Devouring on it.

The reason was simple: if Tu Xiao’an devoured this Profound Turtle, he would acquire its Earth Element.

’Elemental Power is truly irresistible.’

But after careful consideration, Tu Xiao’an decided to subdue it instead. It would be too much of a waste to devour such a Divine Turtle.

He wasn’t lacking this particular element for his Elemental Power, and this Profound Turtle was worth more alive than dead.

If the Black Tortoise was a combination of a snake and a turtle, then Tu Xiao’an could merge the Dragon Snake and this Divine Turtle into one, evolving the legendary Black Tortoise.

The powerful luck of the Dragon Snake, combined with this Profound Turtle’s Divination and its ability of Peeping Celestial Secret... the resulting synergy would be immense.

Tu Xiao’an couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement at the mere thought.

...

Next, Tu Xiao’an settled Su Rushi in the Purple Bamboo Forest, leaving the Azure Owl to accompany her. He also secretly dispatched several Snake Demon Spirits to guard the surroundings before returning to the Snake Palace himself.

「Ten days later.」

Inside the Ten Thousand Blood Pool, Tu Xiao’an sat cross-legged in a dignified posture. A dense drop of Essence Blood floated before him.

This drop of Essence Blood gave Tu Xiao’an a feeling of being connected by blood.

He was now about to use the Celestial Body Splitting Technique to create his own human clone.

After extensively researching the Secret Technique for the Clone Technique, Tu Xiao’an had made many preparations. Creating a clone required numerous materials. Only with sufficient materials could the clone’s physical constitution and Talent be outstanding.

Or even Super Class.

Once everything was ready, Tu Xiao’an took a deep breath. With a narrowing of his eyes, a Lifebound Golden Core as large as a soccer ball appeared beside the Essence Blood.

The moment this Golden Core appeared, the Ten Thousand Blood Pool was bathed in a magnificent radiance. The entire chamber filled with white light, as if a sun had materialized within.

’I’m finally using the White Demon King’s Lifebound Golden Core.’

Originally, Tu Xiao’an had planned to use this Great Golden Core to break through to Level 38.

But with the Celestial Body Splitting Technique, his plans changed. He was going to use the White Demon King’s Great Golden Core as a catalyst for the creation process with the Essence Blood.

Using it as the base, he would perform Foundation Establishment for the clone’s Talent and Cultivation.

Tu Xiao’an believed that with the White Demon King’s Golden Core, his clone would be powerful from the moment it was born.

In addition, with a thought, Tu Xiao’an summoned many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, as well as numerous supplementary materials purchased from the System Mall.

This time, he was truly sparing no expense, striving to make his human clone extraordinary and otherworldly.

’It’s about time. I can begin.’

Tu Xiao’an closed his eyes. The Secret Technique of the Celestial Body Splitting Technique appeared in his mind, and he began to cultivate according to its method.

A full hour later, numerous Sanskrit characters began to glow on Tu Xiao’an’s body. These characters floated out as if they were alive, eventually swirling around the Essence Blood and the Golden Core.

As Tu Xiao’an continued to cultivate the Clone Technique, more and more Sanskrit characters appeared. They finally burrowed into the Essence Blood and the Great Golden Core. Then, the crimson drop of Essence Blood began to move.

It started to merge into the Great Golden Core.

Tu Xiao’an opened his eyes, a flicker of joy in them as he witnessed this scene.

’This is the first step of creation.’

The combination of the Essence Blood and the catalyst. The next step would be the process of gestating the clone.

As the Essence Blood completely merged into the Great Golden Core, a powerful wave of energy instantly swept out.

The Golden Core began to transform, turning into a giant sphere of light with energy surging inside.

Tu Xiao’an resumed cultivating the Celestial Body Splitting Technique. A continuous stream of Sanskrit characters appeared and floated into the sphere of light.

The sphere of light swelled, growing larger and larger.

「A full three days later.」

Tu Xiao’an had already begun to toss all sorts of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures into the now-materialized sphere of light.

The Essence Blood had already begun to take form within the sphere; now it needed nutrients.

The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that Tu Xiao’an threw in were those nutrients, meant to promote the clone’s development.

This was just like the development of a baby in its mother’s womb.

Except Tu Xiao’an was so extravagant... he wasn’t just trying to create a clone, he was trying to create an Immortal Embryo.

If the Yellow Demon King knew Tu Xiao’an was creating a clone this way, his entire worldview would be shattered. It was simply too extravagant.

First of all, using the Great Golden Core of a Deep Mountain Demon King as a catalyst was already outrageous.

One would be better off using it to enhance their own strength.

Because one’s own power is the true foundation.

But Tu Xiao’an didn’t see it that way. He was using the Essence Blood from his own human corpse. This wasn’t about creating some clone; it was his way of resurrecting himself.

Perhaps this was an obsession of Tu Xiao’an’s.

After all, he was human and possessed a human soul. No matter how powerful this Snake Demon body was, he wanted to be human again.

But becoming human again was impossible. Now that he had this Clone Technique, he saw it as a way to fulfill a long-held wish.

Therefore, he was extremely meticulous in creating the clone, and every item he prepared was a priceless treasure.

To put it this way, Tu Xiao’an spent all his Faith Points and threw in almost all the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he had plundered from the White Demon King’s medicinal garden.

The energy surging in the Ten Thousand Blood Pool was now incomparably immense, and the Spiritual Qi was on the verge of leaking out.

Tu Xiao’an paid no mind to the situation outside, focusing wholeheartedly on monitoring the gestation process within the sphere of light from inside the Ten Thousand Blood Pool.

A month later, Tu Xiao’an finally sensed signs of life within.

That’s right, signs of life. He could already see a vague human form inside the sphere of light.

This meant the clone’s gestation was successful, and it was now in the development phase.

As for when it would be "born," even Tu Xiao’an couldn’t say. This was his first time doing this, and he had no experience.

The creation of a truly complete body required three stages: gestation, separation, and Talent.

Tu Xiao’an had to perfect all three of these steps to create the most ideal clone.

He had previously killed the Yellow Demon King’s clone specifically to verify the authenticity of this Secret Technique. He wanted to see if the so-called clone was truly made of flesh and blood, or if it was just all show and no substance.

But when he killed the Yellow Demon King’s clone, Tu Xiao’an had been very satisfied.

It possessed Life Force.

Moreover, the Yellow Demon King’s clone had actually been cultivated to be very powerful, possessing the strength of a Demon King.

Whether in the Yaoling Mountain Range or in human society, the world was its oyster; it could go anywhere.

Cultivating a clone was no easy feat, and Tu Xiao’an’s easy destruction of the Yellow Demon King’s clone had made the Demon King hate him to the very bone.

「Two whole months passed.」

The energy within the sphere of light grew dim and thin, but Tu Xiao’an was pleased. This indicated that the clone had completely absorbed all the nutrients.

If all three steps were completed, then the next part would be the soul imprint.
