Chapter 49 Visualization Method
Bai Sheng quietly sensed the changes in his body after breaking through the True Qi barrier.
He was immersed in this unprecedented sense of clarity.
"Hmm? Something's up?"
Suddenly, I noticed something was amiss.
But this anomaly did not originate from the body itself.
It came from the clone.
A repeated scene appeared in the clone's field of vision!
He switched his perspective to take a closer look.
My clone has explored the entire city these past few days, but hasn't found anything.
I've recently been wandering around the suburbs.
now,
The clone walked along the edge of an abandoned farmland.
The surrounding area was covered with waist-high weeds and a few crooked willow trees.
The clone walked along a dirt road.
while walking,
Bai Sheng realized something was wrong.
There is a red stone boundary marker by the roadside.
I already passed by once just now.
Now it's on the right again!
"Have you encountered a ghost?"
Bai Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly stopped his clone and looked around.
Wild grass, willow trees, boundary markers
An abandoned irrigation canal in the distance.
Every detail, even
Everything is exactly the same as it was a few minutes ago.
The clone keeps moving forward, but the surrounding scenery keeps looping!
Is it a case of being trapped in a maze?
This thought arose in Bai Sheng's mind.
The clone took a step forward.
then,
The surrounding air seemed to be gently stirred.
In the blink of an eye,
Vision suddenly returned to normal.
The dirt road stretched out in a straight line.
In the distance, one could vaguely see trucks occasionally flashing by on the suburban highway.
Everything is normal.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Bai Sheng sat on the sofa, his brows slowly furrowing.
He was certain it wasn't a hallucination.
The clone's perception synchronization is real-time.
He could see those few seconds of the loop very clearly.
There's something wrong with that wasteland!
However, he was in no hurry to send his clone back to investigate.
I silently memorized the exact location of the road section.
Then, he manipulated the clone to return along the same route.
He felt somewhat uncertain.
On second thought,
With the clone carrying the load in front, there won't be any danger.
……
After the clone returned home
Bai Sheng leaned back on the sofa and meditated for a moment.
I'll also explore the follow-up of the Split Light and Shadow Technique.
Taoist texts explain how to condense a clone.
but,
It didn't mention whether it's possible to simultaneously create multiple clones.
Many passages in the ancient Taoist scriptures emphasize conciseness and succinctness, stopping short of revealing the essential meaning.
Many details require you to explore them yourself.
Bai Sheng had a strange feeling that this thing looked a bit like a domestic textbook.
They often don't explain things in great detail and require the teacher to supplement their explanations.
What if the content cannot be supplemented?
It seems we can only figure it out slowly.
Note the question of how many clones can be maintained at most.
Bai Sheng believed that, theoretically...
As long as one has enough true energy and can separate their thoughts, multiple clones should be able to be maintained.
He had already maintained a clone,
He attempted to activate his true essence to condense a second clone.
A strand of golden true essence separated from the dantian and traveled along the meridians to the left hand.
As expected,
It slowly coalesced into a new human-shaped silhouette on the other side of the coffee table.
The outline gradually became clearer, and the facial features gradually took shape.
The second clone stood next to the television.
They were looking at each other across a coffee table.
Very stable.
With two clones existing simultaneously, the rate at which true essence is consumed more than doubles.
But it's still within the acceptable range.
"One more!"
Bai Sheng then tried to condense a third one.
The true essence was separated from the dantian again, but this time it was clearly more difficult.
The outline of the third clone lingered in front of the coffee table for a while before it finally took shape.
The facial features were more blurred than the previous two, and it swayed slightly while standing.
He looks a bit weak in the kidneys.
Its stability is significantly worse than the previous two.
Three clones were standing in the living room at the same time.
The calico cat on the sofa was completely stunned.
Turning his neck this way and that
I don't know which one to keep an eye on.
Bai Sheng paused for a moment to recover before retracting his third clone.
While maintaining two clones, he attempted to condense a third.
This time, he reduced the true essence supply to his third clone by one-third.
Simplify its outline, retaining only the basic features for easy identification.
Height has shrunk slightly.
The situation stabilized.
In other words, if we don't strive for each clone to be exactly the same as the original,
The numbers could go even higher!
He tried four more, five more, six more...
turn out,
With each additional clone, the consumption of true essence increases by one level.
When it came time to control the sixth clone,
The true essence pool in his dantian had run dry.
The stability of all clones is decreasing simultaneously.
The first to show undulations in the outline are the simplest ones.
That's the limit!
"Actually, the effect of true essence is not too bad."
"The main problem is that simultaneously controlling six or seven clones consumes a considerable amount of spiritual energy."
Bai Sheng concluded.
He recalled all his clones.
True essence flows back to the dantian.
After the dantian recovered for a while,
A second round of experiments was conducted.
This time, we are not aiming for simultaneous control.
Only test the hard upper limit of the quantity!
What Bai Sheng was thinking was...
If we don't pursue quality and only pursue quantity,
He could easily create an organization out of thin air!
This is the most terrifying part.
Bai Sheng simplified each of his clones to the bare minimum.
Rough outline, blurred facial features, shrunken height
As long as it can stand and walk, and can transmit its vision, it is considered qualified.
As a result, by the time he reached the ninth stage, his true energy was completely exhausted.
The tenth Dao's body outline collapsed into a cloud of golden mist as soon as it was formed.
The visions of the nine clones simultaneously returned to his mind.
A bunch of oddly shaped, cracked, white gourds stood in the living room.
Fat Orange peeked half its head out from behind the TV and silently scanned the room.
"???"
Bai Sheng dispersed all nine clones, picked up a mineral water bottle, and took a few gulps.
"I'm exhausted..."
I leaned against the sofa for a while to recover.
Bai Sheng thought about it carefully.
It was discovered that the consumption of true essence was actually secondary.
After all, after breaking through to the second level of Qi Condensation Technique, the density of golden true essence was several times higher than in the liquid era, and the recovery speed was also much faster.
What truly exhausted him was his divine power!
Simultaneously controlling nine clones
Each step requires allocating attention to maintain the outline, coordinate movements, and synchronize vision.
It feels like my brain has been split into nine pieces.
Every single one is operating at overcapacity.
The upper limit of the Split Light and Shadow Technique is actually stuck here!
Even if the true essence reserves can last until one hundred,
It's all for nothing if your divine will can't hold up.
A maximum of nine divine thoughts can be maintained.
For greater control, simply increasing quantity is meaningless.
We need to improve our mental strength!
Bai Sheng flipped through the entire book of innate Taoist teachings again.
The Taoist scriptures contain very little information about spiritual power.
The main text barely mentions it.
The only two sentences were found in a few pages of annotations I casually flipped through when I broke through to the Blood Transformation Realm.
"By focusing the mind on one point and entering a meditative state through observation, one can refine one's spiritual power..."
Below is a short introductory guide to visualization techniques.
Bai Sheng was in a hurry to break through to the Blood Transformation Realm and didn't look closely.
Looking back now, I think the visualization method was probably specifically designed to hone one's mental focus.
The visualization method in Taoist books is divided into three stages.
Observe the object, observe its form, observe its spirit!
