Chapter 758 - Stripping Young Master Leaf of Followers (Part 3)

The fact that the immortal-slaying clone had surpassed Yang Qi’s true self in cultivation was something of a danger.

Usually, clones would never surpass the true self. Even if they were stronger for some reason, they shared the thoughts of the true self, and as such, shared the same enlightenment.

But Yang Qi had done something that defied common sense. Now, thanks to King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions and the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, the clone's thoughts were actually starting to separate from his true self’s.

To most ordinary cultivators, losing control of a clone would be very dangerous and could easily lead to cultivation deviation.

Unfortunately, there was more to the situation that Yang Qi had to consider. He knew that, eventually, King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions would try to turn on him. King Immortal-Slayer was a mighty individual who was not completely dead. His hope was to be resurrected, and he used his legacy medallions as part of the plot to make that happen.

Yang Qi actually wanted his immortal-slaying clone to think independently as a precaution against that outcome.

King Immortal-Slayer had been the rare type of genius who could be considered favored by heaven, someone that even the ancient legion of gods feared. Although Yang Qi had a lot of lofty ambitions, he knew that he was far from the level of King Immortal-Slayer.

Therefore, he would make all the preparations he possibly could.

The end goal was to completely break free from the control of King Immortal-Slayer, benefiting handsomely as a result.

The Heaven Beyond Heaven was surrounded by such powerful energy flows that not even Chaos Gods would be able to easily pierce through them. It was normally a very quiet place, but at the same time, it was a location where all sorts of divine medicines naturally grew. As a result, the immortal-slaying clone was making astounding progress in terms of his will and physique. He worked on his cultivation, hunted powerful beasts, and improved his battle prowess. By this point, he could easily defeat people who were in a higher cultivation level than himself, and was always striving for further breakthroughs.

If he was able to break free from being bound to Yang Qi, he would rise to even higher heights.

After all, a kite could only fly as high as the length of string held in the hand of he who flew it. If that string broke, one possibility was that the kite would fall to the ground. But there was a chance the wind would push it even higher than before.

At the moment, the faith provided by six top experts was the wind pushing at the clone, transforming him in profound and mysterious ways.

Yang Qi watched, more convinced than ever that he was doing the right thing.

“Excellent. Now that the five of you have given over all of your faith, your next task is to help me convert more of our associates. We want Young Master Leaf to bea general with no troops under his command, got it?” Green Merchant was now like the leader of this group of five.

“Where are the rest of them?” Yang Qi asked. “Can we lure more of them here? I want to strip Young Master Leaf of as many of his followers as possible.”

“We’ll do our best!” the six new converts said loudly.

“Excellent,” Yang Qi replied.

The six of them pulled out their command medallions, which had been fashioned in imitation of King Immortal-Slayer's legacy medallions. They were used for communication, as well as issuing distress calls.

After working with the medallions for a moment, one of the six said, “Milord, the other patriarchs are all heading to the imperial palace of the Tusita Dynasty with the goal of dealing with you. Milord, you really have to be careful. We should probably head over there now to avoid arousing suspicion, although that’s your decision.”

“Oh? So you don’t think you can lure the rest of them into a trap here? Fine. I'm going to go kill Sectlord Nine Yangs, then take a look around the Tusita Dynasty to get a feel for how strong they really are.”

With that, he laid his hands on all six of his new followers, which caused them to shiver as if with shock as golden true energy spread into them. “Although the six of you started out with incredible martial arts, when you fused with the energy of the other patriarchs it created some nasty side-effects. Are you even fully aware of how miraculous those seventy-two constitutions are? They conflict with each other, and creating a harmony isn’t an easy thing. Young Master Leaf is smart, but he lacks enlightenment regarding the great dao of the legion of gods. I’ll help you negate the negative aspects of the fusion progress, which will unlock some of the potential within you and help you advance your cultivation bases. You’ll become at least ten times stronger than before, which should put you in the position to deal with any of the rest of those patriarchs. I’ll also bless you with some primeval god skills, making you even more powerful.”

Bzzzzzzzz!

Thousands upon thousands of halos appeared, which then shrank down into tiny seeds that entered the Jade Pillow acupuncture point on the backs of the heads of the six patriarchs.
