Facing Chen Lin's question, Yun Xiu Niang curled her lips and said, "There are so many terrifying magical skills, and there are so many restrictions. However, it depends on the soul strength of the caster. The stronger the soul, the more clones it can control. If it exceeds the control limit, backlash will occur, and it is not impossible for the caster to take over the mastery."
Chen Lin nodded.
That's right, there is an upper limit, otherwise Master Xuanyin would be truly invincible.
At this time, he thought for a moment and said, "If the main body of the person practicing this technique is dead, will the clone be affected?"
"Won't!"
Yun Xiu Niang answered affirmatively.
"After practicing this evil art, the Soul-pulling Art becomes his main body of soul. As long as one of the Soul-pulling Art's soul marks is not destroyed, he can be reborn in this clone, but his cultivation level will only be that of the clone."
"In addition!" she continued, "The person who casts this technique can only exist in one clone at a time. The other clones can still live according to their own sanity when they are not possessed by the main body. It's just that their emotions will be affected by being occupied by the main body multiple times."
Yun Xiu Niang briefly analyzed the pros and cons of the secret technique, and then asked suspiciously: "Where did you hear about this evil technique? Has someone in this world successfully practiced it, or do you want to practice it yourself?"
Chen Lin shook his head, "It's not me, it's me who encountered such an enemy."
Yun Xiu Niang's expression changed, and she said, "Then you have to be careful, don't let someone turn you into a clone, or I'll be in trouble too."
Then she puffed out her chest and said, "But as long as you keep me by your side at all times, I will protect you."
"Why, do you have a way to deal with the Soul Puller?"
Chen Lin's eyes lit up and he said expectantly.
"No!"
Yun Xiu Niang answered decisively. Seeing Chen Lin's unfriendly expression, she smiled and said, "However, the Soul-pulling Spell can only be invincible after it is injected into a person's body and merged with the soul. It can be easily destroyed during the activation process. Your wife has a strong sensitivity to the fluctuations of the soul, and can detect it in advance when the other party makes a move."
So that's how it is.
Chen Lin finally had a comprehensive understanding. In this case, this secret technique was not too terrifying. No wonder the other party only chose Jindan cultivators to attack, and did not have a Yuanying stage clone.
But it is not absolute. Maybe a Nascent Soul cultivator will become Xuan Yin one day.
"Okay, I'll take you with me when I go out from now on. But when we get to certain places, you still have to go back into the wooden hairpin. Anyway, being in the hairpin won't affect your perception."
Chen Lin agreed to the other party's proposal and simply ignored the other party's behavior of calling herself his wife.
When he was practicing and refining items, he would shield the opponent or set up an isolation array, and would not reveal any of his own secrets to the opponent.
Although the other party claims that he is the master and will never betray him, who knows what the other party's real thoughts are, so he still needs to be on guard.
But the other party knows a lot and has saved his life, so he will not abandon him.
Letting Yun Xiu Niang go play in the yard by herself, Chen Lin stayed in the room and pondered, trying to guess who might be Xuan Yin's clones. Unfortunately, with the few people he knew, he naturally couldn't guess.
Then he thought about Mu Linglong's situation.
After the opponent was attacked by his Soul-Destroying Finger, some kind of energy escaped from his body. It was not known whether it was his own soul or the soul mark of the Soul-Binding Finger. If it was the soul mark, then the opponent might still be saved.
And if this is true, then he would become Xuan Yin's nemesis, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
However, according to Fairy Baihua and others and Yun Xiu Niang, the memories between Master Xuanyin's clone and the main body are not shared. Only when the other party descends upon a clone can the clone's memories be read.
Now that Mu Linglong's clone has been destroyed, the other party does not have this memory and will not know that he can control the Soul Grabbing, and will not deliberately retaliate against him.
After thinking for a while, Chen Lin felt that there should be no problem, so he calmed down and began to practice.
Use Soul Refining Pills and Baili Pills alternately to achieve a two-pronged approach without any delay.
Now he wished he could split the time into two halves and not waste a single moment. He was very pessimistic about the Hundred Races Alliance and felt that this stalemate would not last too long. He must improve his strength as much as possible before the city was breached.
Three months passed in a flash.
The Silver Fairy hasn't come back yet. I don't know where she is doing.
The war situation was getting worse and worse, just as he had expected.
The main reason is that the will of heaven and earth has weakened, and more and more powerful monsters have appeared. High-level cultivators such as the Fairy of Flowers dare not stay in the wild for a long time because they are afraid of strange spirits. They have to be cautious in every action, and the effect is greatly reduced.
During this period, more and more cultivators died in battle in Dawn City, and the number of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators became less and less every day.
Finally, Chen Lin's peaceful days came to an end. A new task was assigned to him, and he was asked to pick up a team of monks trapped by monsters.
The Silver Fairy was not there, and there were indeed not enough Jindan monks in the city. He had no choice but to pack up and set off.
Fortunately, the Elder Council still gave face and did not cancel the logistical duties of Qin Lingyu and others. The other foundation-building cultivators had to rely on their military merits to take turns to be assigned combat and logistical duties.
"Master Xu, how is it, is it finished?"
Before leaving, Chen Lin found Xu Chengyue, the formation master of Silver Immortal City, and asked him expectantly.
After receiving treatment with Chen Lin's Shui Yun Ling Dan, Xu Chengyue not only recovered from his injuries, but his cultivation also reached the perfect stage of foundation building. He now looked much rosier than before.
He smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
After that, he took out a pair of small array plates and said, "For this thing, I have used up all my favors over the years. Elder Chen can't break his promise to me!"
Chen Lin took the item and said as he checked it, "Don't worry. When have I ever broken my word? How many people can this thing teleport at a time? What's the maximum distance? How strong is the teleportation?"
After saying that, he took out a pill bottle and threw it to the other party.
Xu Chengyue took the pill bottle and opened it. He was delighted at the first glance.
He immediately replied: "Don't worry, Elder Chen, you are so generous, how can I not be attentive? This formation can teleport three people at a time, and the teleportation distance can reach 50,000 miles. As for the strength, as long as there is no formation specially arranged to block teleportation, it can be teleported!"
There was surprise in Chen Lin's eyes.
The effect is much higher than he expected. A three-pattern seven-star pill is worth the money!
"Okay, thank you Master Xu. My master is not in the city recently, and I have to leave the city to carry out a mission. Tell everyone in our Silver Immortal City to be more restrained and not be targeted. In addition, Master Xu will also help take care of my family members."
Xu Chengyue nodded and agreed readily.
Then Chen Lin said goodbye and left.
After returning to his residence, he gave some instructions to Qin Lingyu and others, then placed one of the two array plates in the underground space opened up under the yard, set up the isolation array, and told the two women how to use it. If any crisis occurred in the city, let them and Chen Qiaoyun and others leave through the teleportation array.
As for the destination on the other end, he also had a location, so he would settle it during this mission.
When everything was ready, he led his team out of Dawn City and flew straight to their destination!
"Captain, look!"
After flying for about half a day, Chen Lin asked the team members to stop and rest to recover their magic power. Suddenly, a team member stood up and pointed in the distance and exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Lin looked over there and saw a dark mass in the distance that covered part of the sky. Even from such a distance, he could still sense the enormous pressure.
"Hurry up and make preparations. We will set off in one stick of incense!"
The direction of the black cloud did not conflict with the location of their mission, so Chen Lin would naturally not go over to check it out. Moreover, although it looked very close, it was actually very far away and could not affect them.
The cultivator who spoke was just shocked, without any other intention. After hearing Chen Lin's order, he immediately sat back and swallowed a pill to restore his magic power.
After one stick of incense, we continued on our journey.
On the way, they encountered several groups of huge monsters from afar, and they were all bypassed under the leadership of Chen Lin.
But they didn't dare to fly in the sky in a swagger, but instead moved close to the ground, stopping and starting, and their speed also slowed down.
After another half day, we finally arrived at the mission marked location, an abandoned medium-sized fairy city.
This fairy city is called Crystal Fairy City. It was built by a female Jindan perfect cultivator. It is said that the female Jindan cultivator is very good at networking and has close relationships with several Yuanying Zhenjun, so the city has developed very smoothly.
Unfortunately, in the catastrophe, everything except one's own strength is in vain.
Now, not only was the immortal city destroyed, but even the female cultivator who had achieved perfect golden elixir also died in the battle with monsters. Her skills were of no use against monsters and demons.
"Rest where you are and stay hidden!"
Chen Lin stopped far away from the abandoned fairy city and found a hidden place for his team members to recover their mana. He then took out the crow puppet and controlled it to get closer for reconnaissance.
After years of continuous improvement, he finally upgraded the crow puppet to the foundation-building level, which can be controlled at a longer distance and is more flexible.
The only regret is that he has always wanted to refine a Jindan-level puppet, but has never been able to do so. He himself does not have the ability to create a puppet of this level, nor has he received the inheritance of making puppets of this level, resulting in the puppet skill becoming increasingly useless.
The crow puppet flapped its wings flexibly and arrived above the city after a few circles.
What surprised Chen Lin was that the puppet did not encounter any obstacles and flew into the city easily. However, after circling the city several times, it did not find anything.
There are neither monsters nor teams that need their rescue!
