Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 142 Preparing to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage
If the spiritual clone is destroyed, it will not cause much damage to the original body.

This makes it easier for cultivators to control their spiritual clones to do things that their original bodies cannot accomplish, and to experience anything on behalf of their original bodies.

For example, facing the feeling of death, trying to make a breakthrough with the spiritual clone, practicing dual cultivation with the spiritual clone instead of the original body, and so on.

Xiao Yuzhu wanted to use her spiritual clone to experience the joy of dual cultivation with Dou Eqing.

"Mr. Dou, it's a rare opportunity for you to come see me. I'd like to make a request to you. Is that okay?"

She asked Dou Eqing hesitantly.

"can."

Dou Eqing agreed very readily.

If Ji Xi wasn't around, he might have made excuses.

Because there were other people around, he had to appear generous and straightforward.

"It's so lonely cultivating here alone, and it makes me feel unreal about being alive. Can Master Dou help me?"

Xiao Yuzhu spoke so subtly that Dou Eqing was unable to guess her purpose for a moment.

"How about I have a demon at the Spiritual Transformation stage take you back to the Xiao family?"

Dou Eqing had no choice but to ask tentatively.

"No need, Master Dou, just leave me a beautiful memory to relieve the loneliness during my training."

After Xiao Yuzhu finished speaking, she deliberately made herself shy in order to convey the clear meaning she wanted to express.

Dou Eqing looked at her delicate and beautiful face and immediately understood.

"That, that..."

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although Ji Xi, who was standing next to them, did not say anything, the rich expression on her face told Dou Eqing that she was watching the show and let them continue.

"I have good news for you. Ever since I started practicing the Jade Phoenix Dragon Merging Technique, my cultivation speed has increased tremendously, and a breakthrough is not far away..."

"Now is the critical moment! Don't get distracted by other things. If you can get through this period, your lifespan will be greatly increased, and you'll have more time and energy to do what you want in the future..."

Dou Eqing immediately interrupted.

Xiao Yuzhu also interrupted Dou Eqing before he continued.

"I haven't finished telling you the good news. There's a secret technique in the Jade Phoenix Dragon Merging Technique called the Spiritual Heart Clone. The Spiritual Heart Clone can help me repay Mr. Dou for his care all along..."

Xiao Yuzhu then introduced Lingxin's clone to Dou Eqing in detail.

Dou Eqing's face changed after hearing this. The situation became special.

He didn't touch Xiao Yuzhu not only because of his flawless body, but also because of the relationship between Gu Shuqian and Xiao Yuxin.

But this is not easy to say directly, so Dou Eqing doesn't know how to start.

"Actually, I didn't help you. Saving you was just a piece of cake. I didn't need your help. I owe your aunt Xiao Yuxin too much. I caused her to lose her body..."

Dou Eqing could only come up with various excuses.

In the end, Ji Xi came out to settle the matter.

"Let your spiritual clone accompany me. I will help you relieve your inner loneliness and ensure your satisfaction."

Therefore, Ji Xi took Xiao Yuzhu's spiritual clone with him on the pretext of asking Xiao Yuzhu for advice on how to practice the [Jade Phoenix Dragon Merging Technique].

After the spiritual clone and the original body separated, most of the consciousness was transferred to the spiritual clone, and Xiao Yuzhu's original body could only practice in seclusion in a dormant state.

Finally, Ji Xi used a trick of substituting a dead person for a real one and transplanting flowers and trees, allowing Dou Eqing to unknowingly have the deepest spiritual communication with Xiao Yuzhu's spiritual clone.

Lingxin's clone itself is the product of the dual cultivation technique [Jade Phoenix and Dragon Merging Technique]. Dou Eqing's dual cultivation with it actually seems to be more difficult than fighting Ji Xi.

When Ji Xi also joined in and attacked Dou Eqing, it was Dou Eqing who "lost his armor and revealed his weapons".

Ji Xi, out of gratitude for Xiao Yuzhu's spiritual clone's generous teaching of the [Jade Phoenix Dragon Merging Art] to her, allowed Dou Eqing to have all of his Yuan Yang be taken over by his spiritual clone when he "lost his armor and leaked his essence".

In this way, I discovered an unexpected gain.

Dou Eqing's pure yang essence has a great effect on the spiritual heart clone, greatly increasing the spirituality of the spiritual heart clone.

"Perhaps we can use Dou Lang's Yuan Yang to condense the spiritual clone into a real clone, or even a second Taoist body."

Ji Xi communicated with Xiao Yuzhu through telepathy.

"It is said that the best body for a clone is one with soul essence. I wonder if Jiao Taiyun Soul can allow the spiritual heart clone to have soul essence."

Xiao Yuzhu was even more greedy. Not only did she want to transform her spiritual clone into a real clone, she also wanted to upgrade the clone's grade to the perfect level.

The Jiaotai Yunhun she mentioned refers to the indescribable soul essence that remains before the soul of a new life is reincarnated, as male cultivators pass their essence, soul, blood, and yang energy to female cultivators in order to reproduce.

Therefore, Jiaotai Yunhun is also called Hunyuan.

But the real soul essence is only the Jiaotaiyun soul that is about to rise up.

Soul essence is even more mysterious than the divine soul. It is ethereal and difficult to capture. It cannot be controlled by non-cultivators, and it is difficult to detect its existence. It seems as if it is not in the same dimension as reality.

Since the clone has soul essence, the cultivator's spiritual soul can directly use the soul essence to nurture the clone without cutting the clone out from the spiritual soul.

In this way, it is easier for the cultivator to refine the clone, and the clone is more complete as a whole, like a brand new individual.
For a cultivator, having such an incarnation is equivalent to having a second life. Even if the original body dies, the clone soul will not disappear.

The main body can allow the Nascent Soul and the Divine Soul to directly enter the split soul and turn the split soul into the new main body.

Xiao Yuzhu's idea seemed to open a window for Ji Xi, and he took action immediately.

At that time, with Dou Eqing's powerful dual cultivation skills, it was quite difficult to get him to hand over his essence, soul and blood during dual cultivation.

Unless Dou Eqing is brought to the ninth level of paradise, Xiao Yuzhu will still be able to take his energy and replenish his body at that time.

After many attempts and sufficient preparations, Xiao Yuzhu's spiritual clone and Ji Xi finally obtained Dou Eqing's soul and blood through a round-the-clock battle.

As expected, exactly as they had guessed, half a month later, Xiao Yuzhu's spiritual clone sensed the transformation of Jiaotai Yunhun into Soul Yuan.

"I feel like I need to return to my true form, otherwise I will fail."

Xiao Yuzhu's spiritual clone said to Ji Xi.

In fact, her perception was reasonable. The soul essence came to welcome the new life to be reincarnated. Now the spiritual clone was not a complete living being and could not complete the process of reincarnation.

"what about me?"

Ji Xi discovered the value of Lingxin's clone and felt very jealous.

"Sister Xi, you haven't yet practiced the [Jade Phoenix Dragon Merging Technique], and it will take a long time to cultivate your Spiritual Heart Clone. You can't rush it. You helped me, and I will definitely help you in the future."

What Xiao Yuzhu's spiritual clone said made sense, and Ji Xi also realized that he was too impatient.

However, she had been thinking about this for quite some time and realized that she needed to return to the Judgment Hall to report. It was her instinct.

In order to obtain the essence, soul and blood from Dou Eqing, they practiced dual cultivation in Ziwei Immortal Mansion for more than a year.

Although Dou Eqing suffered some losses by giving up his spirit, soul and blood, the benefits brought by this unique dual cultivation were obvious.

His original dual cultivation strength had almost no rivals, but now that he had passively reached the ninth level of bliss, his potential had been squeezed out, and his dual cultivation strength had actually improved.

Although it was a slight improvement, it allowed Dou Eqing to see a way to improve in this area.

As long as it can lead to improvement, it is the right path. If you take the right path, you will reap satisfactory rewards sooner or later.

Another thing is that dual cultivation brings about improvements in cultivation.

Although Xiao Yuzhu's original body has not lost its virginity, the Yuan Yin that her spiritual clone carries from her original body also possesses the properties of pure Yin Yuan Yin.

This pure yin energy of hers was transferred to Dou E Qing Ling through the [Demon Devouring Heavenly Art], making his spiritual body stronger.

Moreover, during this process, Ji Xi's vital yin was replenished, which allowed Dou Eqing's spiritual body realm to take a step further on the road to transformation.

The result is that the spiritual body's ability to cultivate independently becomes stronger, which means that the spiritual body grows like an individual self.

In fact, the spiritual body realm will eventually transform into an individual, which is the cultivator's perfect clone, the second body, and the second life.

With such a further advancement in the spiritual body realm, Dou Eqing can now break through to the Nascent Soul realm without any worries.

So, Dou Eqing took Ji Xi away from Ziwei Immortal Mansion and returned to the outside world.

"Dou Lang, I'm going back. Please love me one more time. I don't know when we'll meet again. Grow up quickly. I want to be by your side forever."

Ji Xi said to Dou Eqing very gently.

She had no choice. As soon as she returned to the outside world, she received a message from Zengdian asking her to go back and report.

As a result, the plan to transform the spiritual body into a perfect clone had to be put on hold.

She is now in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and possesses a primordial spirit, which gives her one more life than a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But the path of cultivation is full of dangers, and who doesn’t want to have more escape routes?

Moreover, the soul in the state of transformation still has many limitations compared to the physical body.

If one has a perfect clone, even if the original body is in danger and destroyed, the soul will be integrated into the clone and it will immediately possess the combat power of the original body.

This is the real second life.

Generally speaking, if the enemy can destroy your physical body, it means that he is definitely stronger than you.

Therefore, without the strength of the original body, the second life may also die at the hands of the enemy.

But if the clone has the strength of the original, after finding out the opponent's combat power, it may be possible to equalize the combat power of both sides and win a chance to save his life.

"Then you can stay in my Ziwei Immortal Mansion. You can let me love you anytime you want."

Dou E Qingxin didn't think much about breaking through his cultivation level and joked casually.

"I'm thinking about Dou Lang. If I don't go back and negotiate for your clan, I will definitely be targeted by the Judgment Hall.

Then, Lang Lang will soon face the Judgment Hall.

Do you think you can defeat the Judgment Hall now?"

Ji Xi's words moved Dou Qing. Ji Xi was much more important to him than the other women at the moment.

So, before the two parted, Dou Eqing did his best to make the other happy.

Moreover, before Ji Xi left, he also gave the other party a demon in the Spirit Transformation Realm as an assistant.

Ji Xi left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to help Dou Eqing break through the guardian.

Fortunately, Dou Eqing not only has one demon in the Spirit Transformation Realm, but also many demons in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Not only did Li Luo rob Lei Yun last time, he also told Dou Eqing that his auction and the transaction with the Fortune Golden Dragon should replenish the Earth Demon Clan's Divine Transformation Realm demons. Therefore, at that time, Dou Eqing only had three Divine Transformation Realm demons left.

Although there is only one demon in the Spirit Transformation Realm to protect him, there is also a powerful Xu Ci.

The presence of Xu Ci, a powerful cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, allows Dou Eqing to break through anywhere in the gourd restriction and survive the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

However, the Nascent Soul Stage is a threshold for cultivators, and Dou Eqing takes it very seriously.

All big things require the right time, place and people.

If Dou Eqing, as a time traveler, considers himself the protagonist of the destiny of this world, then every major event will be extraordinary.

If you are not prepared for these unexpected events, even if you get through them, it will leave behind various problems, causing hidden dangers and troubles in the future.

Therefore, he must first choose a place where he can survive the tribulation that is extremely beneficial for him.

However, he was not good at Feng Shui, and the Feng Shui theories of his previous life needed to be adapted when applied to the Kunlun Realm.

However, Dou Eqing had no exposure to the Feng Shui arithmetic of the cultivation world.

He had no choice but to ask everyone in Ziwei Immortal Mansion.

There are so many demons and no one knows how to look at the Feng Shui of the land.

He finally contacted Shen Yirong through the Purple Mansion Yuanying and specifically asked her about Feng Shui related issues.

When Shen Yirong heard that he was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, she was not only happy about it, but also expressed her willingness to present him with a gift.

Then, he saw Shen Yirong dancing gracefully on the fairy dome in his consciousness.

Dou Eqing didn't expect that Shen Yirong was so good at dancing. Her dance was pleasing to the eyes and he calmed down unconsciously.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for giving me peace of mind. I have finally achieved the 'harmony among people' I was looking for."

He didn't expect that asking Feng Shui questions would bring him such an unexpected gain.

"You're welcome, Senior Sister, I'll wait for you to improve your cultivation quickly and help me leave here. I want to be with your original body. If you succeed in breaking through, I'll do a special dance to celebrate for you, Junior Brother."

Shen Yirong blushed as she spoke, and Dou Eqing subconsciously thought that the special dance she was talking about was a striptease.

"Okay! Senior Sister, please practice that dance first. I will definitely succeed in breaking through!"

After Dou Eqing finished speaking, his consciousness returned to the outside world.

Thinking that he already had "harmony among people", he looked up at the sky, wondering when the auspicious time would come in the future.

From this perspective, he realized that calculating an auspicious date also required the arithmetic skills of a Feng Shui master.

The right location may be a matter of luck, but if you come across a Feng Shui treasure land, you can know it by feeling.

But an auspicious time requires foresight and cannot be guessed based on feelings.

Therefore, what he needs to solve now is the right time and place, and he has thought of a solution.

The Gourd Ban is not only a large formation to suppress the Xuansheng Tianmo, but also his territory. To find out where the Feng Shui treasure land is, just ask the owner of the place.

However, he did not rush to contact Xuansheng Tianmo, but came to Hulujin Sanxiu Market to issue a missing person mission.

There is a famous market for independent cultivators in Hulujin, where many cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm gather.

Dou Eqing believed that with so many cultivators in the incarnation realm, it should not be difficult to find a Feng Shui master.

"Have you heard? Someone is offering a high price for a Feng Shui master."

"You're crazy! You're not allowed to look for a Feng Shui master in the gourd. This is a forbidden area!"

"Hey, is there something about the forbidden area and the Feng Shui master?"

"The forbidden land is where Feng Shui masters make money, but the gourd forbidden land is an exception."

"why?"

"Haven't you heard how the gourd ban was formed? There's a demon suppressed here!"

"I still don't understand."

"Damn! Do you think a mere formation can suppress a celestial demon?"

"Isn't it an immortal formation? Why can't the immortal formation suppress the demon?"

"Demon is a general term. This demon is rumored to be called Xuansheng Demon. What kind of demon would dare to have such a name? Xuan means the wonder of Tao, and Sheng means the top of the honor! Xuansheng, Xuansheng, means the honor of Tao..."

"I still don't understand. Isn't the Immortal Formation powerful? If one isn't enough, set up a few more."

"Hey, little brother, you've only been practicing Taoism for a short time. Arrays originate from prohibitions, and prohibitions are the most powerful arrays. A demon as powerful as the Xuansheng Heavenly Demon requires the power of heaven to suppress it, and only natural prohibitions can borrow the power of heaven."

"What does that have to do with Feng Shui masters?"

"No ordinary formation master can find the forbidden area, nor can a formation master mobilize the natural forbidden area to suppress the Xuansheng Heavenly Demon."

"You mean, it was a Feng Shui master who suppressed the Xuansheng Tianmo?"

"That's right, it's the founder of Feng Shui, Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Zhong Jing. Therefore, Xuansheng Tianmo hates Feng Shui masters to the core. How could an ordinary Feng Shui master dare to come to the Hulu Forbidden Area!"

"Oh."

Several Nascent Soul cultivators were discussing something in a spiritual tea shop, and the one who kept asking questions was Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing had been spending time in the spiritual tea shop until a Feng Shui master came to take the task, and only then did he know why there were no Feng Shui masters in the market for casual cultivators.

So, he left the spiritual tea shop, intending to ask Xuansheng Tianmo to find a place where he could transcend tribulation and start breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the high price he posted for the mission attracted the attention of independent cultivators.

At first, he thought there were no Nascent Soul Feng Shui masters, so he increased the reward for the task to the level of the reward for asking a Divine Transformation cultivator to take action.

Some people speculated from this that although Dou Eqing was not very powerful, he was very wealthy, and it was possible that he had discovered a treasure land that needed a Feng Shui master to explore.

These two factors made some people want to meet him.

However, independent cultivators are a group that moves as soon as they hear the news.

In the end, many monks set their sights on this matter.

The first wave of Nascent Soul cultivators who followed Dou Eqing out of the market town consisted of eighteen people, and they were the famous Eighteenth Regiment of Hulujin.

All eighteen groups were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and they followed Dou Eqing in a swaggering manner.

Thirty miles away from the Sanxiu Market, behind a small hill, Dou Eqing knocked down all the members of the Eighteenth Regiment with lightning speed.

"Seeing how difficult it is for you to cultivate, I'm sparing your lives. There won't be a next time!"

Dou Eqing left after saying this.

"Brother! Are you just going to let this go?"

The youngest member of the 18th Regiment shouted.

It turned out that the 18th Regiment was defeated by Dou Eqing and did not show much combat power.

Moreover, he had been keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully in the market of independent cultivators, and had long known that the Eighteenth Regiment was going to deal with him.

So, he decided to strike first and let a poison expert use muscle softening powder, which was designed for monks, on the Eighteenth Regiment.

Dou Eqing was calculating when these eighteen people would become weak and take advantage of that one minute to knock them down.

The reason why he did not kill these eighteen people was that he knew they had other backers.

At this critical moment of breakthrough, he didn't want to cause any trouble.

However, the survival rules of the demonic world do not allow for mercy, but rather emphasize ruthlessness.

When the eighteen people were stacked together like chickens by Dou Eqing, they were all extremely frightened.

The effect of the muscle softening spray only lasts for one minute.

At this moment, monks are worse than ordinary people.

Therefore, they thought they only had one minute to live.

After the effect of the Softening Muscle Powder wore off, they all forgot about their recent deaths and instead felt that they had been humiliated by Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing didn't show his strength just now, but he exposed his cultivation.

It is indeed a bit abnormal for a Jindan cultivator to stack chickens on top of eighteen Yuanying peak-level powerhouses.

The most important thing is Dou Eqing’s calculations.

Looking back on the whole process, it was as if Dou Eqing was tricked and played like a little chicken by them.

"No rush. We've been the first to step out, and now it's time for others to test his abilities."

The leader of the 18th Regiment spoke calmly.

She had just been pinned to the bottom, and when it came to humiliation, the chief was most impressed.

Because she was the only female cultivator among the eighteen people, her name was Chi Lili.

Chi Lili is also the dream lover that the other 18 people have always wanted but cannot get. She used her beauty to win them over and formed the 18th Regiment.

Now, with one stack of people, she was pinned down by eighteen people.

The leader of the other people Chi Lili mentioned was turning around and looking at them.

This person looked at her as if she were a clown, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a disdainful expression on his face seemed to say:

"The general is defeated!"

Obviously, Chi Lili and her group's Eighteenth Regiment had a grudge against the other side.

This team also seems to be composed of eighteen cultivators, but its leader Chu Wu has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Chu Wu leads his team with strength, but the overall combat power of the monks under his command is not as good as the members gathered by Chi Lili with her beauty.

Fortunately, with him at the Spirit Transformation Realm, the team's overall combat power is on par with the Eighteenth Regiment.

Chu Wu not only disdained Chi Lili, but also looked down on other cultivators in the Eighteenth Regiment. He would often ridicule them whenever he met them.

As a result, the conflict between the two teams intensified, leading to resentment.

However, this time with the "fat sheep" Dou Eqing around, Chu Wu did not stop to ridicule the Eighteenth Regiment and chased after Dou Eqing closely.

Dou Eqing advanced another sixty miles and stopped to wait for the enemy to arrive.
