"Now that you have dealt with the demonic body clone, can you break through to the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm?"
Xiao Shi asked.
If Xiang Zi's strength could really be improved and enhanced, their Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect would be able to stand more firmly in Xingluo Province and could carry out more actions. This was naturally what Xiao Shile saw.
However, Xiang Zizhen shook his head.
“It’s not that simple.”
"If I were to get rid of the demonic clone now, my strength would basically stop here, and I would never have the hope of becoming a saint in my lifetime."
"At the same time, he will be weaker than other martial demons who have eliminated their own demonic clones..."
Xiang Zizheng’s words surprised Xiao Shi a little.
"Why is that?"
According to what the other party said before.
As long as he gets rid of his own demonic clone, he will be able to successfully enter the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm and become the strongest Martial Demon Realm.
But Xiang Zizhen’s current situation is inconsistent with what he said before.
"Under normal circumstances, when a martial artist in the Martial Demon Realm has a demonic clone, even if they have the ability to kill it, they will allow it to grow to a certain extent before killing it."
"This is because only when the demonic clone grows more, the improvement after killing will be greater."
"Someone has tried this before. Before the splitting of the demonic body, they arranged everything around it, and then killed it immediately after the splitting of the demonic body!"
"Although this method can quickly resolve the demonic clone, the improvement obtained is extremely small..."
"After that, no one chose to kill the demon clone in this way."
"They will intentionally let the demonic clone grow."
Xiang Zizheng's words made Xiao Shi once again sigh at the difficulties of the Martial Demon Realm.
Except having to face an evil self.
At the same time, you have to compete with your evil self in terms of growth rate.
Once the growth lags behind that of the demonic clone, it may be hunted down by the demonic clone instead.
"If that's the case, then why is your demon clone so eager to kill you?"
Xiao Shi was puzzled by this.
As for the demonic body clone, it should be the same as the main body.
If the main body is killed too early, even if the demon clone can enter the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm, the improvement in strength will not be too great.
in this case.
Xiang Zizhen's demonic clone was so eager to plan to kill him.
This is very wrong.
"Because he's afraid of me."
Xiang Zizheng looked at the black mark in his hand.
"The soul clone has all my memories before my split, so he knows... if he develops steadily with me, he will definitely have no hope."
"The longer it takes, the worse it will be for him."
"Of course, I initially thought he was looking for an opportunity to suppress me and limit my growth. I didn't expect that he was so eager to break up with me so early."
Xiao Shi nodded.
Although Xiang Zizhen didn't say too much in detail, he knew Xiang Zizhen's background very well.
We know that behind Xiang Zizhen, there is a priest of the Vatican who was living abroad and luckily escaped the extermination.
With this powerful priest as the backer.
Xiang Zizhen's demonized clone is definitely not as fast in development as Xiang Zizhen.
This is the difference that identity brings.
Although the demonized clone is the same as Xiang Zizhen in strength, means, wisdom, etc., he cannot inherit Xiang Zizhen's identity.
This meant that if he and Xiang Zi really competed in development, he would definitely not be able to win.
That’s why this series of actions took place.
"He killed Qin Mo in order to destroy my status in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. Only when I lose my status in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect will he have a chance to compete with me for development."
"But after I discovered it, I immediately cut off his connection with other members, leaving him no chance to persecute other members."
"At the same time, the other members trust me, and no one doubts me..."
"As for me directing the murderer towards you, it was also to test you, not to let you take the blame. I hope you don't mind."
Xiang Zizheng said with some apology.
Xiao Shi expressed his understanding of this.
When he first met Xiang Zizheng, he felt a trait in him that was the same as his own.
cautious!
If it were him, he would do the same.
After all, this not only concerns oneself, but also the safety of other members.
"So what are you going to do with this demonic clone?"
Xiao Shi asked.
Given the current strength of this demonic clone, it is obviously not the time to kill it yet.
If Xiang Zi really gets rid of his demonic clone at this time, even if he can break through to the second stage of the Martial Demon Realm, the improvement will not be too great.
But it is also impossible to let the demon clone go.
"I need to ask the teacher about this matter..."
Xiang Zizhen said.
"No matter what, now that the demon clone is in my hands, I have the initiative."
"I can also take this opportunity to learn some information from Master."
Xiao Shi nodded.
After learning about the relevant information about the Wumo Realm from Xiang Zizhen, he felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
This realm...
It was much harder than he had imagined!
At the same time he knew it.
The reason why Xiang Zizhen told me the news about Wu Mojing in advance was, on the one hand, out of gratitude and trust in me.
On the other hand, he was also reminding himself that if he wanted to break through to the Martial Demon Realm, he had to be prepared to face another self.
This is also what makes Xiao Shi feel headache and difficult.
He was not sure he could deal with his other self.
If another me was as timid as him...
I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it in this lifetime.
certainly.
This is not what Xiao Shi is most worried about.
What he was most worried about was that his demonic clone would also drop items through killing like his main body!
Once this happens.
It will be even more difficult for him to deal with the demonic clone.
Imagine…
A demonized Xiao Shi who has no bottom line and can continuously drop items by killing, is definitely not comparable to his main body in terms of improving strength!
Judging from the current conditions.
Xiao Shi felt that even if he had the ability to reach the Martial Demon Realm, he could not easily split his demonic body into clones.
This is too dangerous!
"If you want to reach the Martial Demon Realm, you must find a way to deal with the Demon Body clone when you are in the Martial Soul Realm."
"Otherwise, we must not rashly split the demon body into clones."
Xiao Shi thought to himself.
Fortunately, he is still some distance away from the Wumo realm.
There is still time to prepare.
Xiao Shi's action of rescuing Xiang Zizhen this time allowed him to successfully gain Xiang Zizhen's trust.
Xiang Zizheng said that he would enter the dream world to clarify the matter with other members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, and would then officially accept Xiao Shi as one of them.
However, Xiang Zizhen specifically reminded Xiao Shi.
Although they are together now.
But after returning, if they wanted to talk about the affairs of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, they would still have the conversation in the dream world.
Outside the dream world.
They continued to get along as warden and jailer.
Any topics related to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect will not be discussed.
Xiao Shi also nodded in agreement.
Their identities have always been sensitive in Xingluo State.
The necessary precautions must be taken.
"I hope you can improve your strength as soon as possible. At the same time, I will do my best to help you improve your status and position in prison..."
"I have an action that is extremely important to our Four Elephants Divine Martial Sect."
"But with your current cultivation and status, it's still a bit difficult for you to participate. You need to have a certain level of cultivation and status to participate in this operation!"
Xiang Zizheng said to Xiao Shi in a serious tone.
Although the strength shown by Xiao Shi this time is quite impressive.
But after all, he is only at the Wuhun realm in the soul awakening stage.
The reason why Xiang Zizhen was saved.
A big part of the reason was that Xiang Zizhen had previously fought with his clone, and both sides were exhausted.
There is an element of picking up leaks.
If it were in their prime.
With Xiao Shi's level of cultivation, he definitely wouldn't be able to participate.
Xiao Shi nodded.
Although he did not get any items dropped by killing the enemies in the underground palace this time.
However, the array patterns he encountered in the underground palace brought him enormous gains in array formations.
In addition, now that he has come into contact with Xiang Zizheng, it will definitely be much easier for him to kill prisoners in prison next time.
I believe it won’t take long.
He will be able to condense his soul consciousness and thus enter the second stage of the Martial Soul Realm, the soul consciousness stage.
"besides… "
"That soul is not easy to suppress. If you don't have a good container, it's best not to try to contain it. Be careful of the backlash."
Xiang Zizheng said seriously.
He did not ask Xiao Shi how he had managed to remain safe and sound after being invaded by the blood-colored soul.
He knows it very well.
Everyone has their own secrets.
This is the foundation for everyone's survival.
He won't ask unless the other party wants to say it.
Xiao Shi nodded.
From Xiang Zizheng, he also had a certain understanding of the bloody soul before.
I learned that this soul was an unusual soul.
The reason why Xiang Zizhen entered the underground palace this time.
In fact, it was aimed at this soul.
According to his original plan.
He knew that this sealed and imprisoned soul would cause trouble in the underground palace and take the opportunity to escape.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation.
In this way, this soul is harvested.
After all, this soul was sealed, and even Xiang Zizhen himself could not open the seal inside its body.
He needs to wait until the other party breaks the seal himself.
Get out of the body.
Then you can look for opportunities to take it down.
I just didn’t expect…
This soul had actually colluded with his demonic clone beforehand to set up a killing plan.
He almost fell into the underground palace.
According to Xiang Zizhen.
This soul body is the best choice for weapon spirit.
Originally, he planned to harvest this soul and forge it into a spirit weapon.
If there is such a spirit...
His combat power will be greatly enhanced.
Then, we will be more confident in dealing with the demonic clone.
certainly.
Now this soul has fallen into Xiao Shi's hands.
It was impossible for him to go to Xiao Shi for help.
Since it was Xiao Shi who captured him.
Then this soul naturally belongs to Xiao Shi.
After communicating with the incomplete consciousness in the coffin, Xiao Shi learned that although the coffin had swallowed the soul, it did not treat it as food.
Instead, let this soul work in the coffin!
The incomplete consciousness in the coffin.
If Xiao Shi needs to use the soul, he can release it for Xiao Shi to use.
However, there will be certain time limits.
The soul has been marked by the incomplete consciousness in the coffin and cannot leave the coffin for a long time.
At the same time, the incomplete consciousness in the coffin was expressed.
Xiao Shi doesn't have to worry about the soul rebelling or anything like that.
The soul has now been completely subdued and is extremely obedient.
So that's it.
Xiao Shi then had an additional powerful means!
However, he still needs to conduct further research on the use of souls.
soon.
After Xiao Shi and Xiang Zizheng had an in-depth conversation.
They began their return together.
The two of them tacitly returned to their previous way of getting along and no longer talked about any topics related to the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.
It's like having no idea of the other person's identity.
On the way back.
Xiao Shi's main body was still immersed in the huge gains brought by the interpretation of the formation pattern.
The interpretation of this array pattern not only made him understand the implementation of the array in the underground palace, but the greater gain was that it gave him a deeper attainment and understanding of the array.
As a result, different ideas kept emerging in his mind one after another.
"I can completely transform the secret skill of Soul Forging Technique into a formation that can enhance my soul power!"
"This will speed up my soul power improvement so that I can condense my soul consciousness faster!"
Follow the thoughts in your mind.
Xiao Shi began to prepare for this that day.
He purchased a lot of materials for setting up the formation from the Prison City.
He set up the formation he had in mind directly in the courtyard where he currently lived.
This immediately caused his soul power to increase at an astonishing speed.
With the continuous increase of soul power.
The soul power in his mind became more and more abundant.
Just a few days.
His overall soul power increased by more than double.
"I feel that with my current soul power, I can almost concentrate my soul consciousness..."
Xiao Shi thought to himself.
He knows it very well.
The key to breaking through from the soul awakening stage to the soul consciousness stage is to condense the soul power in the mind into soul consciousness.
Usually this requires a lot of soul power to do this.
certainly.
In addition to sufficient soul power, specific soul consciousness concentration techniques are also essential.
The soul consciousness condensed by different skills is often very different.
The reason why some people's soul consciousness is stronger than ordinary people since birth.
This is because the soul consciousness concentration technique they practiced is inherently stronger than the normal soul consciousness concentration technique.
In this regard, Xiao Shi doesn't have to worry.
The cultivation method he had previously obtained from Qin Mo already included the condensation of soul consciousness.
only.
The soul consciousness condensation of the Red Tiger lineage is different from ordinary soul consciousness condensation.
The soul power required is more than that condensed by ordinary soul consciousness.
At the same time, some important items are also needed as assistance.
