Chapter 71: Heaven Exploding Cave Abode, Increased Mirror Mirage Intelligence

.......

This power boost is quite a nice one... But I feel like I can gain even more at an even faster rate as long as I can obtain some form of automation for my Mirror Mirage's.

Azmodeus looked over his system interface and saw how much he needed to increase his Mirror Mirage Trait into G-Rank.

Without hesitation, he burned through enormous amounts of Evolution Essence in order to increase the Rank of one of his most used Traits.

With this Rank Up came a fundamental change to his Mirror Mirage Skill.

Unlike all the previous level ups, which simply increased the amount of the main body's power they could hold, this rank up allowed the Mirror Mirages to begin thinking for themselves.

The limit to this newfound intelligence was at the level of a farm animal. Still, it was still enough for him to give simple commands such as 'kill' or 'chase' without needing to externally control all of his Mirror Mirage using his mind.

Which mind you, put an extreme amount of pressure on the mind—an amount that would have already killed one with a lower mental fortitude.

Even Azmodeus himself was beginning to have trouble controlling 10 versions of himself, all with power in the Soul Transformation Realm.

But now, with this new Rank Up, his Mirror Mirages could be effectively used to acquire insane amounts of Evolution Essence!

-

"With my new Mirror Mirages, I can sit back and solidify my rapidly growing cultivation while still having them head out and clean up any Deacons and below that come to interrupt me."

Azmodeus's relaxed words resounded as he summoned all of his Mirror Mirage's before putting a few basic attribute-increasing runes on their bodies.

He also made sure to give them a few Mid-Earth Rank Formation Array Scrolls that should assist them if they ever got into a pickle with a Void Refining Realm Expert.

It was a little troublesome to get them to understand how to use the Formation Array's. But in the end, he was able to get his point across as he instructed them to head to the north, which was where the deeper segments of the River Serpent Sect lie.

He also informed them of the possibility of their being cities and such after passing a certain point, through which he told them not to kill anyone that didn't attack first.

But if they were attacked or were the first ones to be provoked, then well...

"Kill them all."

Following this content proclamation, the sign was transmitted outside of the Cave Abode and mysteriously appeared atop the cave's entrance.

"Now that the naming of my new home is out of the way, I think it's about time I start my cultivation solidification session."

WAAA!

An extreme level of Qi started swirling around inside the Heaven Exploding Cave Abode as Azmodeus worked on consolidating his cultivation base.

He didn't plan to stop until he reached a point where his foundation could only be described as perfect!

...

Four months later.

The memories that Azmodeus had of the people he met since his rebirth have already become distant thoughts.

The only thing on his mind was acquiring greater improvements to all aspects of his existence!

"I have broken through to the Half-Step Soul Transformation Realm with a perfect foundation. Furthermore, my various professions are approaching the Late-Earth Rank ahead of schedule due to my increased Cultivation Talent stat.

On the other hand, many of my Mirror Mirages have died due to the interference of Void Refining Realm Outer Elder's. But, before they died, they were able to obtain absurd levels of Evolution Essence through the killing of a multitude of River Serpent Disciples."

Even though there were some losses, Azmodeus was still satisfied with everything he had gained over the last few months.

However, it was the topic of disciples that brought up something else for him...

Maybe I should get some disciples at some point as well...?

He pondered the matter for a few minutes before deciding to leave the topic for a him that was a few hundred years older.

For now, the only thing he wanted to be thinking about was increasing his cultivation even further.

The peak of Infinity waited for no man!
