Chapter 352

352 THE EXPERIMENT-The soul links had to be formulated with great precision. Fortunately, the Keeper managed to devise a proper set of formations that could be used in the soul space of the two people. The Origin avatar art was a specially devised skill that managed to create the actual bodies of the practitioner.

In general, whenever a clone art is being practiced, the original body could be described as the central hub of everything with the clones being objects being controlled. The difference in avatar art is the fact that they have their unique conscience and could all act as a central hub. It means rather than there being 1 Long Tao, there were eleven.

Any one of them could act as a central hub if needed and hence the formation art which the Keeper devised could be utilized properly. The formation was etched into the soul space with the respective soul energies of the two individuals. It was a tiring job and took Long Tao a whole week to formulate and etch properly.

The next step was to establish a connection between the formation and the soul of the practitioner. This can be done by a power line or formation lines formulated with the help of soul energy. Long Tao and the avatar who was to be experimented on began to formulate the lines, which took another day or two.

“The formation lines are finally at the place. What are we doing next?” Long Tao asked.

“The next step will be the first major hallmark of whether or not this experiment will be a success. You and the avatar will simultaneously operate the formations and try to connect. The first step is an active connection between all the elements in your soul space.”

“After you manage to do that, comes the second step. The second step is you two being in physical connection with each other and operate the formation together. It will be accompanied by you two exchanging your soul energy with each other. It is the only way the two formations come in connection with each other and the link is established.”

“You two need to operate the soul energy continuously until the link is established permanently.” The Keeper warned.

Long Tao sat with the avatar and began to establish the connection he was waiting for. He started to operate the soul energy between them and finally managed to do it properly. The formation was activated and the soul energy began to formulate a bridge between the two formations.

.....

The two bodies felt their bodies being injected with some kind of energy from either and something coming alive within their soul space. The formation slowly began to link up and around half a day later, the link was finally formed and ready to go. The two bodies separated from each other.

After verifying their bodies and meeting their eyes, they could feel a special kind of connection with each other. Long Tao felt that his connection with the body in front was far stronger than his connection with the other avatars. It meant that the formation had worked out properly and they had managed to connect.

“The step is complete and the connection has been established. The next step is to try and block the connection formulated by the avatar art itself. You would need to isolate the soul space of the avatar from the other bodies. Sadly, we don’t have an immediate solution for that and hence we will be experimenting.”

“What is the basis of this experiment?” Long Tao asked in fear. He didn’t want to tamper with his soul space as irreplaceable damage was a big possibility

“The isolation will start with a normal formation which helps gather your soul power in a single location within your soul space. It is a fairly common formation and hence shouldn’t have any risk during application. The main work starts from thereon. The gathered soul energy needs to be isolated by the bodies and the least possible quantity needs to be leaked.

The avatar is going to be the subject that needs to do that too. You need to continue the isolation until you feel the links between your bodies weakening. Once the links weaken, we will move forward with another formation. This is where the actual risk arises.” The Keeper said in a concerned voice.

“You want to operate a soul energy burst which would disrupt the connecting channels, don’t you?” Long Tao guessed.

“Yes. That is something that I formulated after a lot of thought. The soul energy burst which is required to carry out the process is nothing in comparison to the overall soul energy capacity of individual soul spaces. But the fact remains that it is going to burst and hence has the potential to harm. A lot of harm is a possibility we cannot ignore.”

“Do you still want to move forward with it?” The Pill Hall master approached from the Keeper’s side.

“I have to. I cannot stop in the middle of my body cultivation path simply because I was too scared to try a possible solution. I will move forward. Do we have any formation which could act as a protective shield to my soul space?”

“There isn’t any better formation than your soul’s energy recovery and healing runes. They are the strongest spell I have ever seen in my life, and we haven’t encountered anything that could supersede its effect. The defense relies on the runes.” The Keeper stated.

“You are kidding right?” Long Tao was skeptical about the situation. He was quite hesitant.

“I am not. Let’s start the process and create a soul energy impulse bomb within your soul space and jam the connections out. Remember, the signals, if just jammed, would be blocked only for a short period. That is the time you will get to experiment.”

“What is the estimated amount of time we could get?”

“I am expecting the block to remain in place for at least four days. It would be on the safer side to assume three or three and a half days. Would that be enough?” The Keeper asked.

“Can we create the scenario again?”

“Experimenting on the same avatar would be quite risky and even if you decide in favor of the procedure, you need to wait for another upgrade in your soul. Only when an upgrade takes place, would all the injuries including the hidden ones be properly cured and you will be able to operate once again.”

“So we have three days.” Long Tao spoke.

The process formally began when Long Tao and all his clones sat on the altar and began to concentrate their energy at a single point.
