Chapter 200
200 – Condensing an Embodiment
Yue Wuxian said with a proud smile: “I can promise you whatever Old Man Huang can. So long as you become my personal disciple, then the Glorious Dawn Warlock rank won’t pose a problem to you!”
While looking adorable, Shi Xue respectfully saluted to the two Demon-Fighting Sect’s elders, saying: “Seniors, I’m very grateful for your kind intentions. However, I want to stay with Big Brother Yang Feng. As for choosing a master, I’ll choose the one that Big Brother Yang Feng chooses.”
Huang Yihe creased his eyebrows, saying: “Yang Feng? Who’s that?”
Han Ning promptly pointed at Yang Feng and said: “Elder, this is Shi Xue’s big brother Yang Feng.”
“A Blood-Meridian Warlock? Black dragon’s blood-meridians? The potential is too low!” Yue Wuxian said with slightly wrinkled eyebrows: “With such an aptitude, how come he came to the Demon-Fighting Sect?”
Han Ning replied: “He killed the Starry Sky Warlock rank clone of a Demonest Plane’s Demon Emperor that descended to the Turandot Subcontinent and as such, he wishes to join the Demon-Fighting Sect via the assessment.”
Huang Yihe said with some surprise: “He wants to join the Demon-Fighting Sect via the assessment? This unassuming little fellow actually shows a bit of backbone!”
Huang Yihe knew that the Demon-Fighting Sect’s admission assessment was extremely difficult. For a level-2 Warlock like Yang Feng to take such an assessment was short of suicidal.
Yue Wuxian said frigidly: “You don’t need to take the assessment! I can make an exception and let you become a Demon-Fighting Sect’s disciple in name. If you have the ability, then slowly climb your way up! Let your sister Shi Xue choose me to be her master. In the future, I will give you some pointers and other benefits.”
Yang Feng replied with a light smile: “Many thanks, Senior. However, there is no need for exceptions. I, this junior, want to take the Demon-Fighting Sect’s assessment, I want to join the Demon-Fighting Sect fair and square.”
The Feisuo Plane was in utter chaos, having many divine systems. Such a plane was the best place to fish in troubled waters. On the Feisuo Plane, Yang Feng's embodiment in rapport with the Xi Clan’s robots would be of great use.
Yue Wuxian was slightly surprised. She said with a faint smile: “You do have some backbone. I misjudged you! Originally, I thought that you wanted to take advantage of your sister’s talent to weasel your way into the Demon-Fighting Sect. Not bad. Little fellow, now I’ve taken a bit of liking to you. As long as you complete the Demon-Fighting Sect’s assessment, then I can directly let you become a Demon-Fighting Sect’s inner sect disciple.”
Huang Yihe said with a grin: “Heh heh. Interesting.
Yang Feng, if you can complete the Demon-Fighting Sect’s assessment, then I’ll accept you as a personal disciple.”
Yang Feng smiled lightly, saying: “Many thanks for you kind intentions, Seniors. Xue’er, I think that Elder Yue Wuxian is more suitable for you. Take her as your master!”
While looking adorable, Shi Xue kowtowed toward Yue Wuxian: “Master, please accept me as your disciple!”
“Haha, good! Good! Good! Disciple, come with me to the Floating Island! I’m going to show off before those fellows! Ha ha!” Yue Wuxian forgot herself as she laughed out loud. With a flicker of magic light, she disappeared together with Shi Xue.
“Alas, it’s a pity!” Huang Yihe gave a long sigh and then also disappeared along with a flick of magic light.
After the two Demon-Fighting Sect’s elders left, everyone present saw Yang Feng in a new light. With Shi Xue’s limitless future prospects, Yang Feng was no longer an ordinary level-2 Warlock.
“My business here is done, I bid you goodbye!” Yang Feng smiled lightly. Followed by Kong Fangao, he left the Demon-Fighting Sect.
Kong Fangao said with a light smile: “Yang Feng, since you’ve already reached the Demon-Fighting Sect, then it’s about time for me to bid you goodbye. We will meet again. When you have time, come to the Qing Province’s Tianmu County. Our Kong Family still has a bit of reputation there. If you come, I’ll make sure to be a good host.”
Yang Feng replied: “Alright!”
After the two went their separate ways, Yang Feng went to look for an inn in the Demon-Fighting City.
Early next morning, Yang Feng returned to the Demon-Fighting Sect’s Public Office.
Han Ning welcomed him enthusiastically, saying: “Yang Feng, you came early. Come with me!”
Yang Feng smiled lightly and said in response: “Good morning, Senior Brother Han.”
After an exchange of greetings, Han Ning led Yang Feng into a magic escalator that resembled an elevator, and then pressed the button of the 100th floor.
With a flicker of magic radiance, the entrance of the magic escalator opened and Yang Feng’s group of two appeared on the 100th floor.
Han Ning made a detailed introduction: “This is the great library the Demon-Fighting Sect’s disciples in name have access to. In here, a variety of level-1 to level-4 spell models, countless knowledge from different planes, and a lot of secret methods are gathered. There is a variety of Feisuo Plane’s common knowledge here. Among the countless knowledge here, I recommend the Demon-Fighting Sect’s fundamental secret method Demon-Fighting Heaven-Suppressing Record, which is the strongest secret method of the Demon-Fighting Sect. However, there are only four levels of the Demon-Fighting Heaven-Suppressing Record here, it can only can be practiced until the Great Warlock boundary. In the future, if you complete the assessment and join the Demon-Fighting Sect, you will have the opportunity to learn the next few levels of the secret method.”
Yang Feng looked at the great library, which occupied about five square kilometers. It was clearly a product of some formidable Warlocks’ casting space-attributed spells.
Countless bookshelves with neatly placed books were spread all over the five square kilometers.
In the center of the great library, an about one meter in diameter magic crystal ball engraved with a number of mysterious runes was suspended in the air.
Han Ning said: “That’s the great library’s index crystal as well as administrator. You can use the index crystal to quickly find all the information you want. To use it, you have to be within five meters of it and think of the information that you require.”
Yang Feng went up to the index crystal, thinking: “I want the Demon-Fighting Heaven-Suppressing Record.”
With a flicker of magic radiance, a book flew into Yang Feng’s hand from the midst of the countless bookshelves.
Han Ning smiled and said: “Alright, Yang Feng, I won’t disturb your study. Work hard!”
Yang Feng replied: “Thank you, Senior Brother Han!”
Yang Feng sat to the side after Han Ning left. On one hand, he started to study, on the other hand, he used the smart microchip installed in his glasses to scan the books and store the information in the database.
Yang Feng was immersed in his study in the great library, learning anything related to the Feisuo Plane. He was clear that this information was vital for the the future safety and growth of his embodiment.
Ten days later, inside a cultivation private room of a luxurious inn.
Sitting cross-legged on a jade bed, Yang Feng was surrounded by the ash and remains of top-notch magic stones.
The green Life Embodiment Bead released resplendent light as it floated before him.
Yang Feng suddenly opened his eyes and mouth. Blood essence along with three golden specks shot out of his mouth and then entered the Life Embodiment Bead.
After loosing the blood essence, Yang Feng’s complexion turned very pale. He quickly picked up a vial of elixir and then poured the contents into his mouth.
After drinking the elixir, Yang Feng’s complexion turned a lot better. He silently recited an incantation. Magic radiances condensed around him and his soul seed strangely flew out from between his eyebrows.
Countless strings extended from below the soul seed, culminating in small balls. Upon a closer look, it could be seen that the small balls were spell models.
Once the soul seed appeared, it gradually split into two halves.
Along with the split of the soul seed, Yang Feng felt as if he himself was splitting into two halves. Pain coursed through his body. However, he still managed to bear the pain with great perseverance.
After the soul seed split into two halves, one of the halves flew into the Life Embodiment Bead along with countless spell models.
The Life Embodiment Bead shivered lightly. It twisted and turned, and quickly changed. Eventually, it condensed into a human figure that looked identical to Yang Feng and had identical soul fluctuations.
When Yang Feng's embodiment took shape, an extremely novel sensation suddenly arose inside his true body, as if two of him existed in the world in parallel.
This was different from when he used the Awareness Transmitting Helmet. When he used the Awareness Transmitting Helmet, he still had a single consciousness. When he possessed a robot, his true body would enter a state of unconsciousness. Now, however, he had two independent consciousness existing in the world. The two consciousness were himself.
Yang Feng’s embodiment said with a light sigh: “This feeling is really wonderful, as if there were two of me at the same time.”
Yang Feng’s true body said: “It’s wonderful! No wonder that even strong beings like gods cannot separate more embodiments without a sufficiently high-leveled divine domain. Without the support from a divine domain, too many embodiments are bound to lead to a split in personality, to a mental disorder.”
Although gods could separate embodiments, yet in general, gods with feeble divine force would only separate a single embodiment due to their divine domains being incapable of supporting more embodiments.
Yang Feng’s true body said: “Scan me!”
<Yang Feng, basic properties: strength 1.1, agility 1.3, physique 1.2, spirit 1.6.>
<Blood-meridians: pure human blood-meridians.>
<Soul aptitude: superior level-6.>
<General evaluation, classified as a level-0 life form. Evolution potential, great!>
<Remarks: as the subject has just split his soul, the soul is in a weakened state. It is recommended to practice the True Mystic Embodiment Scripture to recover the strength of the soul. It is not advisable to conduct Warlock cultivation before the strengths of the soul is completely recovered.”
After Yang Feng employed the True Mystic Embodiment Scripture to pour all of his power into his embodiment, his true body turned back to an ordinary person. However, due to the firm foundation he had laid, he now would have an unlimited evolution possibility once he resumed to tread on the Warlock Path. Besides, the wealth he collected in the Turandot Subcontinent was enough to let him evolve into a formal Warlock effortlessly.
Moreover, the knowledge grasped by the embodiment was equivalent the knowledge grasped by Yang Feng’s true body. Thus, it was equivalent to having two people practice cultivation and studying at the same time, which was simply heaven-defying. It was precisely because of this that treasures like the Life Embodiment Bead were so precious and hard to come by.
