Chapter 535: One Dao Transforms into Three Bodies (asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)
Sioux City Base City.

Outer city.

Bloody smoke rose into the sky.

The ruins were in ruins and the place was in a mess.

There were constant cries and shouts of pain.

The figures of Lu Chenzhou and Zhang Jizhi emerged.

In the void ahead, there was a man trapped in a magnetic field, emitting endless murderous aura.

Lu Chenzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ye Chen?"

Old Man Hanshan said:
"This is not Ye Chen, it's the Blood Vine's clone. The Blood Vine can transform its clone into the appearance of the person it has devoured, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, and it can even imitate their aura.

It infiltrated the demon hunting team, bypassed the magic circle and sneaked into Su City, causing chaos in the outer city area. Fortunately, I have been paying attention to Su City and did not cause too much damage, so I captured it alive."

The "Ye Chen" grinned and said, "I have heard of Lu Chenzhou's name a long time ago, and I came here to see him today."

Lu Chenzhou hadn't seen such an arrogant Demon King for a long time. After he returned to Su City, those guys in the Demon King's Palace hid far away and could not be seen at all.

Lu Chenzhou said calmly: "If you want to see me, just tell me where you are hiding and I will come to visit you in person. Why bother trying to anger me?"

"Come find me, Lu Chenzhou."

Without waiting for Lu Chenzhou to take action.

The Blood Vine Demon King's clone disintegrated on its own.

The provocation is self-evident.

Lu Chenzhou frowned.

Zhang Ji's way:

"It seems that she is very confident about her hiding place and thinks that we will never be able to find him."

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Have you used your clone to contact your original self to lock onto her? Her clone didn't just appear out of thin air."

"We tried, but it didn't work. These clones are not independent individuals, but just energy bodies, or puppets, which are controlled by the blood vine through consciousness. We tried to enslave the clones and even let Emperor Hanu search the souls of the clones, but in the end we found nothing. Fortunately, these clones are not very strong, so they won't change the situation of the war. It's just that they cause casualties every now and then, which is always a bit unpleasant. People in the base cities are also panicking."

“That’s what the restricted area is meant to accomplish.”

……

Nameless stars.

The Blood Vine Demon King breathed a sigh of relief.

“This Lu Chenzhou is indeed different from ordinary Heavenly Kings. Being stared at by him, I have an instinctive sense of danger.

Next, it depends on whether he has the means to find my hiding place. If he can find this place, I will activate my backup plan on this planet and die with him. Anyway, I have already hidden a trace of my soul in the seeds of other worlds, so it doesn't matter if I die.

The merit gained from killing Lu Chenzhou is enough to exchange for a treasure that can be helpful to both the demon saint and me, allowing me to make further progress.

If he can't find me, then I will be even more fearless, because no one in this world can kill me!"

……

The next day.

Lu Chenzhou found the Heavenly King of Zhenbei.

"President, the projection created by the 'One Body Transformed into Three Bodies' method, if my original body is in seclusion or concentrating on other things, what state will the clone be in?"

After a moment of silence, Zhenbei Tianwang said:

"Is it because of the blood vine incident?"

"Yes, during my retreat, I was unable to take care of the situation in Su City. It would be difficult for Elder Zhang to handle the situation alone."

Old Man Hanshan's strength is not very strong among the Heavenly Kings.

His special feature is that he has mastered the superior sound wave skill. Currently, in Daxia, only he and Lu Chenzhou have mastered it.

"The projection of 'One Dao Transforms into Three Bodies' is essentially an incarnation condensed from the true energy. It has a certain duration and has no consciousness. It needs to be remotely controlled by the original body. During the original body's retreat, the incarnation can only perform some simple tasks, and needs to be controlled with one mind. If it is just to guard the base city, it is barely enough. Of course, I mean the shallow retreat, such as the usual practice, meditation, and enlightenment. If you are in the state of breaking through, or in a dead retreat like your master, this incarnation will be useless. You must not be distracted."

"I understand."

"Do you want to learn?"

"study."

……

Vientiane Road.

Lu Chenzhou recalled the information in his mind.

“The secret method of “One Path into Three Bodies” has only three levels. Each time you practice a level, you can create an incarnation. Up to three incarnations can be created at the same time. The more incarnations there are, the lower their average strength will be. Therefore, one incarnation is enough.

This technique itself is not difficult. It is essentially one of the techniques for applying Zhengang. However, maintaining the incarnation and fighting with the incarnation is itself quite energy-consuming. The strength of the incarnation is about half of that of the original body, and it is limited to performing some conventional martial arts, secret techniques, and Dharma realms. Pure physical techniques such as "The Art of Withering and Flourishing" cannot be performed.

Mental spells can be performed, but they require a large amount of extra mental energy to be injected into the avatar, which is more energy-consuming.

There is no limit to the distance between the incarnation and the original body, as long as they are in the same world. Speaking of which, the Blood Vine Demon King's avatar is similar to this incarnation. They are all energy clones and have no consciousness. If it has no distance limit, the original body will most likely hide in the starry sky, right?"

Lu Chenzhou thought of the Shadow Killing Clan.

The starry sky is the best place to hide.

But there is nothing I can do even if I know.

The starry sky is so vast that looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, unless one is as powerful as the legendary one who can control the Tao and deduce based on the vague cause and effect.

Soon, Lu Chenzhou was immersed in practice.

At dawn, he sat cross-legged, and a halo of light suddenly appeared around him. A vague shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

[One Path into Three Bodies: First Level (1%)]

"Although this method is only at the seventh level, it is similar to the 'Hiding Yuan Technique' and is a minor skill. With my current level of comprehension, it is not difficult to get started. I should be able to master the first level soon."

Lu Chenzhou only needs one incarnation.

Therefore, there is no need to practice to the top.

During his retreat, he transformed himself to guard Su City.

Even if he only has half the strength, it should be no problem for him to deal with a Demon King in the final stage and he can share Zhang Ji's pressure.

"Go on, this is just the initial stage of condensing the incarnation. If you want to use it in actual combat, you have to practice to the limit of the first level."

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

2263 October.

Three years ago, when Lu Chenzhou was in another world, the ranking of the Heavenly Man Ranking had been determined and settled once. The top 1000 on the Heavenly Man Ranking had their lifespans extended by two decades. The top 500 on the Heavenly Man Ranking had their lifespans extended by three decades, and they also condensed a "Heavenly Man Martial Soul" in the Martial World that could last even after death. The top 100 on the Heavenly Man Ranking had their success rate of breaking through the seventh level increased by %.

Coupled with the influence of Wanshixian Po Ba, Daxia's martial arts made rapid progress, and martial artists emerged like mushrooms after a rain. In the Dharma Ending Age, it was good to have one martial artist among a thousand people, but now there is one for every ten people.

After decades of development.

Some geniuses born in the new era took advantage of the golden age to break through to the level of martial arts masters. In the past year, an average of more than ten people were born every day, a sharp increase of 5,000 people.

Although the number of Grand Masters and Heavenly Kings is also growing rapidly, several times more than before, due to their lag, they cannot explode like the Grand Masters in the short term.

The battle of all nations to encircle and suppress the Demon King's Palace was generally smooth. Many early and middle-stage Demon Kings died in the war, and those who remained were all difficult ones.

For a late-stage demon king, as long as he is not too reckless, even if he is in the top ten of the heavenly beings, it is difficult to force him to stay. Especially with the cooperation of the Shadow Killer Clan, he can leave whenever he wants.

Daxia also suffered a lot of losses. Since the beginning of the encirclement and suppression campaign, 18 Heavenly Kings have fallen, most of whom died at the hands of the Four Emperors and the Shadow Killer Clan. The other half fell at the hands of the elusive Heavenly Ghosts, but fortunately there were not many of them.

Over the past year, the seven realms of the enemy have been constantly testing the depth of Da Xia. In addition to the Ancient Moon Demon Lord, the Ten Thousand Spider Ghost Mother and the Shadow Stream Lord have all taken action.

The Seven Realms War would destroy a city at any time.

It brought huge losses to Wanbang in the early stage.

To this end, the Parliament of All Nations activated the seventh-level Taoist soldiers, one in each of the four major regions, to intimidate the seven realms of the enemy.

Even so, the Shadow Master, relying on his superb shadow skills, still brought great trouble to Wanbang. The casualties every day were real people.

……

This day.

Vientiane Road.

Lu Chenzhou sat cross-legged.

In front of him, there was an illusory Lu Chenzhou, who looked exactly like him, had the same aura, but his aura was obviously one level weaker than his, only at the beginner level.

[One Path into Three Bodies: Level 1 (%)]

"The projected clone is like a part or extension of my body. There is no stagnation in controlling it."

Followed by.

He let his clones perform boxing, gun skills, the Great Wilderness Prisoner Spell and other methods, all in the same way as he himself performed them.

The disadvantage is that the power is small. After all, the incarnation is not the original body, and it lacks the unity of essence, energy and spirit, and is incomplete.

"That's enough. Although the incarnation cannot perform the Kun character technique, by burning all the energy, it can gain a certain increase in combat power. It is no problem to fight against the peak demon king for a short time."

Lu Chenzhou estimated.

time is money.

Buzz—the order to light the lamps sounded.

The projection of Zhenbei Heavenly King emerged.

"Chen Zhou, I know how to deal with the Blood Vine Demon King. It seems that I cannot do without your help in this matter."

"Please speak, President."

"I looked up ancient books and asked Mr. Turtle. The only way to deal with this kind of enemy is to use curses."

"curse?"

Lu Chenzhou's heart trembled.

His immortal body was also more afraid of curses, which could kill souls remotely across space.

"Is there anyone in the Council of Nations who knows how to curse?"

Lu Chenzhou asked.

The Heavenly King of Zhenbei sighed.

"Originally there was a master called [Spiritual Eye Tara], but she died when she broke through the seventh realm. Tara's disciples are only in the fifth realm. It is difficult to curse and kill the Blood Vine Demon King. At least one must be in the top ten of the heavenly beings to succeed. To be safe, one must reach the seventh realm."

"Then how about letting Emperor Hanu learn the art of cursing? The art of cursing is more spiritual, which is what he is good at."

"Emperor Hanu is already learning, but I'm afraid he's not up to speed. Although he's at the seventh level, his comprehension is still a little behind yours. I saw you master the Lightning Dao in a month, so I think you have the best chance of accomplishing this."

Aurora Palace Incident,
This brought great shock to the Zhenbei Heavenly King.
"Let me give it a try. Even if I put all my effort into practicing a curse that can kill a peak level 6 realm master, it will probably take me three to five years to master it. Also, my cultivation level is lower than that of the blood vine, so the chance of success is very slim."

Lu Chenzhou had learned some knowledge about curses from Mr. Turtle. Most curses were not 100% successful, unless it was a case of a six-level being killing a three-level or four-level being. And casting a curse also required a price. Otherwise, a person who was proficient in curses could stay at home and curse all the enemies to death, and the world would have been in chaos.
