Chapter 159 Illusionary Clone

Su Baichen's mind began to race. He first determined that he needed a physical avatar, and this avatar should at least possess some of his experience and skills, as well as a certain degree of self-thinking ability, and be able to undertake teaching tasks.

"what?"

Su Baichen suddenly felt that this illusion was very similar to a skill in a certain anime he had watched.

However, as similar as it may seem, he still needs to think carefully about the underlying principles—he does have a basic idea, which is to use the Xuan Yin spiritual energy as a basis for casting illusions.

However, such an illusion can only be his puppet and cannot exist independently.

However, his illusionary arts have now reached the second-grade level of transforming illusion into reality, so he naturally understands that if illusion is yin, then reality is yang. Transforming illusion into reality is using yin to represent yang!

This yin within yang can also serve as the carrier of his consciousness.

So in that instant, because of his understanding of the second-grade illusion technique realm, he suddenly realized a completely new way of constructing illusion techniques!

He used his illusion technique to create a phantom body, and this phantom body, which mimicked yin and yang, was indeed able to carry a part of his consciousness!

Although this part of consciousness is not much, and it is even unable to cast any spells, the very existence of it makes Su Baichen happy.

At least I can be lazy now.

only----

Casting an illusion that transforms the illusory into the real is a huge drain on his mental energy, and such an illusion cannot last long. Moreover, such an illusion is something that can only be cast once one reaches a certain level of attainment, and it is nothing to be proud of.

So, after understanding the principles of a second-grade illusion technique, how can we simplify its execution?

This was Su Baichen's true purpose.

His idea was simple: to incorporate his own pure Yang energy into the illusion!

Using yin to simulate yang would cause enormous consumption, but what if this true yang didn't need to be simulated and was real in itself?

He had tried before, but all of them failed because yin and yang are inherently repulsive, and it is very difficult to maintain their balance within a spell.

The problem is, if he can use yin to represent yang, then he can naturally also use yin to protect yang.

The next morning, just as Xuan Yin Zhenren was eagerly anticipating his good disciple coming to help him with chores and take care of the children, Su Baichen actually arrived.

He first exercised with the two children, then made breakfast, and after breakfast, he began to teach them to recognize and write characters.

Master Xuan Yin, watching from the side, felt immensely gratified, yet also deeply worried.

"Won't he be hindering his own cultivation by doing this?"

Princess Mizukage has already voiced her concerns.

Master Xuanyin said, "Perhaps it's because that child's identity is rather special that he's been so dedicated—well, I'll explain it to him at noon."

Shuiyin Ji nodded and said, "It should have been you who spoke up. You are his master, and he will listen to you."

Master Xuanyin chuckled: "He'll listen to you too, after all, you're also him—uh—"

He stopped talking because he realized something was wrong as he continued.

Princess Shuiyin said sternly, "Go and talk to that child!"

Xuan Yin Zhenren had no choice but to go find Su Baichen first.

Su Baichen was assigning calligraphy homework to his two children at this moment. He found that teaching the two children was actually very easy. Because they had suffered since childhood, they cherished the opportunity they had and would never disobey.

Master Xuanyin walked over and said, "Bai Chen, go back and cultivate properly this afternoon. Don't let taking care of the child interfere with your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen nodded and said, "Master, you've come at the right time. My body is about to be used up. Please keep an eye on them, Master. I'll be here shortly."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body dissipated, transforming into a ball of spiritual energy in a nine-yin-one-yang ratio that dispersed.

Xuan Yin Zhenren stood frozen in place, looking incredulously in the direction of Su Baichen's room.

Mizukage was also stunned, then she covered her mouth and chuckled, "Hahaha—you, as his master, didn't even realize that this was all an illusion!"

Master Xuan Yin shook his head solemnly and said, "No, that's not an illusion, but an illusionary clone!"

Princess Mizukage realized something: "A clone?"

"He hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, so where did this clone come from?"

Master Xuan Yin sighed, "That's the subtle point. If he really has a way to create such a physical illusionary clone while still in the Qi Refining Realm, it would be a world-shaking event for our Yin Sect."

A moment later, another "Su Baichen" arrived.

As soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by Xuan Yin Zhenren and Shui Yin Ji, who began to grope him.

Su Baichen was both amused and exasperated: "Master, Uncle-Master, I'm still figuring it out. The last illusion only lasted for two hours, which is a bit too short."

The Mysterious Yin Master asked, "And what about this time?"

Su Baichen said, "This time I used a ratio of three yang to seven yin, let's try it out first."

"However, one thing is certain: the higher the proportion of pure Yang Qi in one's own body, the stronger the information and self-awareness it can carry."

The Mysterious Yin Immortal asked, "Are there any other benefits?"

Su Baichen thought for a moment and said, "Also, it's because I use pure Yang true energy to carry a wisp of divine thought to control the illusory body. And when the illusory body dissipates, as this wisp of divine thought returns, all the memories experienced by the illusory body will return as well."

In fact, overall, Su Baichen has already achieved everything he wanted to achieve.

"It's a pity that the illusion can't cast spells on its own—but it can be used to take care of children."

Mizuki couldn't hold back any longer. She said, "You still want the illusion to cast spells? What do you take the illusion for? An external avatar?"

Master Xuanyin quickly patted Shuiyin Ji's hand to signal her not to get so excited. He said to Su Baichen with a calm expression, "Well, just keep trying according to this idea. If there's anything you don't understand, come and ask your master. We'll discuss it together."

Su Baichen happily replied, "Okay."

He had just agreed when another Su Baichen emerged from the sea, dragging a large basket filled with oysters, sea cucumbers, and other seafood.

"Master, let's just eat this with our rice. Our junior brothers and sisters are still growing and need to eat more."

After saying this, he put down the basket and then disappeared in a wisp of spiritual energy.

Master Xuan Yin understood this time, and then tried it himself.

A phantom clone also appeared beside him.

This clone only appeared for a short time before being dispelled by Xuan Yin Zhenren.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"This illusory clone is nothing special; anyone who reaches a certain level can use it. In fact, it's completely unnecessary for us—"

"What's strange is that this child has already reached the second-grade illusion technique level at the Qi Refining Realm, but his cultivation is insufficient to cast a second-grade illusion technique for an extended period of time, which is why he needs this lower-level substitute."

"But it must be said that his actions may create a unique illusion technique for the Yin Sect."
