Chapter 164 Clone
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuyi used her spiritual sense to probe that location, but found nothing. She couldn't help but frowned. Was she wrong?
Yu Qiuyi reluctantly used his soul power to attack that position.
Xiao Chen's eyes were determined when he saw this. When the male cultivator finally broke the formation, his junior brother was about to wake up, so he did not notice when the male cultivator finally broke the formation.
While exploring the depth of the symbolic pattern, he was thinking about the connection between the pillars, where the center of the formation was, and how to break the formation. But now Xu Wen actually used his soul power to attack a point directly. Did he think that was the center of the formation?
In Xiao Chen's understanding, the center of a general formation requires cultivators to find the center by observing the operation of the formation, looking for clues in the formation, using special magic weapons or spells, etc.
The eye of the formation may usually be hidden in the center, edge, corner, etc. of the formation, or it may be hidden in an object or creature in the formation.
However, they only discovered that the symbols and patterns carved on the pillars had different depths, but they did not sense the operation of the formation.
Now the points that Xu Wen attacked were not within the range he considered. Could that really be the center of the formation?
When Yu Qiuyi's soul power hit the ground at the position she thought it was, she felt like being bounced back by something. Suddenly, Yu Qiuyi's eyes lit up. There was hope!
So, Yu Qiuyi increased his spiritual power and attacked that direction again.
This time, the soul power hit forward, just like pressing a button, followed by a "boom" sound, and at the same time, the door of the hall opened.
Seeing the door being opened, Yu Qiuyi was a little bit unbelievable. It was opened so easily?
When Xiao Chen saw this, he was also stunned for a moment. The center of the formation was actually there. So how did Xu Wen know for sure that it was there?
If Yu Qiuyi knew about Xiao Chen's doubts, he would definitely tell him, but he just complicated the problem.
Perhaps the person who set up this formation was also thinking of doing the opposite. The more obvious and simple it is, the more likely people will think it is a trap and unreal, and thus they will not dare to act rashly.
After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, attacking the center of the formation will enhance the effect of the formation.
But no matter what, now that it's opened, it's better to leave here immediately.
So Yu Qiuyi immediately said, "The door is open, let's go."
Xiao Chen also came back to his senses from his daze. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."
After saying that, the two of them quickly walked towards the entrance of the hall.
But when the two of them were only one step away from the entrance of the hall, they suddenly felt unable to move.
Xiao Chen was startled and quickly used his soul power to try to break free, but found that his body was firmly fixed and he could not move at all.
Yu Qiuyi's situation was similar. She tried to mobilize the Wood Spirit Flame to attack her body. However, she found that her soul power was restrained and she could not release it at all, let alone mobilize the Wood Spirit Flame.
At this moment, a strange "hehe" laugh suddenly came from all directions of the hall.
The laughter was like a devilish sound, piercing the ears, echoing throughout the entire hall, making people feel creepy.
When Yu Qiuyi and Xiao Chen heard the laughter, their faces instantly turned gloomy.
"Hehehe, two little guys, do you think you can escape like this?" A eerie voice came from all directions, making it impossible to tell where the voice came from.
"Who are you? Why do you want to trap us?" Xiao Chen asked loudly with a gloomy face.
When Yu Qiuyi heard the voice, there was a moment of confusion on her face. Why did the voice sound so familiar? It seemed to be that of the square-faced man whom she had just killed not long ago?
As soon as Yu Qiuyi had this thought, the owner of the voice gave her a definite answer.
"Who am I? Haha... We just fought today, and you forgot my voice so quickly."
This time, the voice was calm but with a hint of sneer, making it more recognizable.
As a result, the two of them confirmed that the owner of the voice was the square-faced man under the black water pool, and immediately their hearts were filled with turmoil.
"Are you the skeleton under the water?" Yu Qiuyi exclaimed. She was sure that the square-faced man under the black water pool had been burned to ashes by her wood spirit flame. Why did he appear here now without any harm?
Xiao Chen also had the same doubt. Didn’t his junior brother and the six people who woke up from the sarcophagus later absorb back all the soul power and flesh and blood they could?
Logically speaking, shouldn't this man be subdued or even killed by Xu Wen? Why is he not only fine now, but seems even stronger?
Liu Hongchang seemed to know their doubts, and kindly explained: "Hey, little girl, are you confused that you clearly burned me with strange fire, but now I am unharmed, right?"
When Xiao Chen heard Liu Hongchang's words, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Yu Qiuyi: “…” Just speak, why reveal your pseudonym?
But she was indeed confused, so she followed Liu Hongchang's words and asked, "Yes, so, what's going on with you?"
Liu Hongchang pondered for a moment and was about to speak, but when he looked at Yu Qiuyi and Xiao Chen, he frowned, then raised his hand, and the two of them turned around uncontrollably.
As a result, the two of them saw clearly Liu Hongchang sitting on the throne.
At this time, Liu Hongchang was not as skinny as he was at the bottom of the black water pool, but a man with a healthy complexion and a strong build.
Seeing that Yu Qiuyi and Xiao Chen both looked unhappy, Liu Hongchang couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction.
Cai Youyou continued to explain: "Of course...the one under the black water pool is just a clone of me."
What Liu Hongchang didn't say was that the one communicating with Yu Qiuyi now was just one of his clones.
As a member of the Soul Sect, his soul was much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he was able to escape the catastrophe because of his caution.
Therefore, he was cautious and created clones early on, letting the clones go out to practice, while his original body hid away to practice.
He only allowed the strongest clone to retain some of his memories. As for where the main body was, this clone with memories did not know.
Logically speaking, the clone should be able to accurately sense the location of the original body, but no one knows what method Liu Hongchang's main body used to block this connection.
The other two clones were blocked by Liu Hongchang's original body and knew the memories of both the original body and the clones.
The clone under the black water pool is one of the two clones whose memories about the main body and the clone have been blocked.
Therefore, the clone under the black water pool was truly afraid and full of regret when facing Yu Qiuyi's Mu Lingyan.
The reason why this clone retains some memories is to help the other two clones improve their strength.
Xiao Chen and those who did not enter from the Nether Valley basically triggered the teleportation array set up by Liu Hongchang's current clone from outside and were directly teleported into the sarcophagus.
This is also the reason why Liu Hongchang, who was under the black water pool and whose soul was only in the middle Nascent Soul stage and had no physical body, was nourished by two cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.
But he didn't expect that the clone he had been preparing for decades would be destroyed by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Fortunately, the girl in the foundation-building stage was just his clone, otherwise...
Thinking of this, the square-faced man's eyes turned fierce when he looked at Yu Qiuyi.
However, it is not entirely a bad thing. At least now the female foundation-building cultivator with the strange fire is in his hands.
Well... If I could get a clone with strange fire, it would be easier to refine other people's souls with less backlash.
Thinking of the look he gave Yu Qiuyi, he couldn't help but feel satisfied and greedy again.
Although the cultivation level of this female cultivator is a bit low now, I think with the help of this clone and the strange fire, she should be able to grow quickly.
It’s a pity that I can’t enjoy such a beautiful beauty.
After all, this woman's body will become his clone. If he enjoys it now, wouldn't it be like he and himself...
I can't think about it, it makes me sick.
Thinking about Yu Qiuyi's fate, Liu Hongchang couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen again.
He originally didn't want to let this Nascent Soul stage male cultivator in. After all, he was so young in the Nascent Soul stage, and who knows what unexpected ways of saving his life he might have.
But since he insisted on coming in, he could only be cautious. He believed that as long as he was careful enough, this male cultivator would not be able to cause too much trouble.
But what should we do after subduing him?
Did he swallow his soul directly? Or did he take the yang and replenish the yin for his new clone?
After all, the cultivation level and physical strength of this female cultivator were too low, and he just happened to have a technique that could allow him to absorb other people's qi and blood and cultivation level through gathering and replenishing.
