Chapter 313: One Qi Becomes Three Purities
"You are quite forthright for a youngster," the Heavenly Emperor chuckled. "Since you managed to reach this place and summon me, it seems we are fated. To ensure this divine power is not lost, I will pass it on to you today."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian quickly bowed respectfully.
"One Qi Becomes Three Purities requires true spirit infusion for transmission," the Heavenly Emperor explained slowly. "This way, you will not only gain the method but also my extensive cultivation experiences, allowing you to master this divine power quickly."
True spirit infusion would greatly deplete the Heavenly Emperor's strength, but since he had already fallen, he didn't mind the cost.
"Once you master this technique, you will possess powers identical to your true self, and these powers can continue to evolve. I hope you can reach the Heavenly Supreme level after mastering this divine power."
With that, the Heavenly Emperor solemnly pointed two fingers at Xiao Tian's forehead. The gesture seemed to bypass the distance, and beams of spiritual light continuously emerged from the Heavenly Emperor's fingertips, entering Xiao Tian's mind.
"Boom!"
Xiao Tian felt an immense ocean of information flooding in. The spiritual light coalesced into the cultivation method for "One Qi Becomes Three Purities" in his mind, along with a plethora of insights and experiences from the Heavenly Emperor's own cultivation of this divine power.
Xiao Tian's consciousness quickly delved into the profound cultivation method and insights. True spirit infusion indeed proved powerful; if Xiao Tian had tried to comprehend it on his own, it might have taken him years to even begin practicing it. But now, with the infusion, he understood it almost instantly.
His eyes glowed with spiritual light, and after a long while, he finally opened them. Xiao Tian extended his hand and formed intricate, mysterious hand seals.
"Buzz!"
As soon as these seals were formed, a peculiar resonance echoed through the heavens and earth.
"One Qi Becomes Three Purities, manifest my true self!"
"Manifestation Blade!"
Xiao Tian murmured, his voice carrying an inexplicable resonance. Then, a beam of spiritual light emerged from his heavenly spirit, forming an ethereal blade. This phantom blade seemed both real and illusory, as though it couldn't be touched.
"Slash!"
As Xiao Tian's voice fell, the phantom blade sliced down toward his heavenly spirit.
"Swish!"
With a single slash, a streak of blood light was drawn. When the phantom blade left Xiao Tian's body, the blood light was carried out, wriggling and emitting strange fluctuations.
At this moment, Xiao Tian felt something being separated from his body, as if part of his flesh and soul were being removed. However, this separation caused him no harm; it merely transferred something from inside his body to the outside.
This was the strength of "One Qi Becomes Three Purities." Unlike ordinary clone techniques that would permanently separate part of the practitioner's flesh and soul into an independent entity—potentially weakening the practitioner—this divine power had no such side effects.
"Another slash!"
Xiao Tian controlled the phantom blade to slash again, and another mass of blood light was separated. When the second slash was completed, the phantom blade quietly shattered.
At this moment, the two masses of blood light wriggled and transformed into two identical figures. One wore black robes, the other white. They both looked exactly like Xiao Tian and emanated the same cultivation aura as him.
Clearly, they were both genuine Earth Supreme level beings. With the three of them combined, and bolstered by the power of the World Seed, they could potentially challenge a true Heavenly Supreme!
Mandala watched in awe as the two clones stood beside Xiao Tian. If it weren't for their different clothing, she wouldn't be able to tell who the original was.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Senior!" Xiao Tian bowed once again.
After the true spirit infusion, the Heavenly Emperor's remnant image became even more transparent. He smiled and waved his hand. "Now, I can only suppress this Devouring Demon Emperor for another twenty years. I hope you can bring at least two Heaven-grade Heavenly Supremes within these twenty years to help me seal it. If it escapes, it will be a great calamity!"
"I will do my best!" Xiao Tian nodded.
"The Heavenly Emperor Sword must remain to help suppress the Demon Emperor and cannot be given to you," the remnant image continued. "As for the Scripture Pavilion, it will only appear if it wishes. That old thing is quite stubborn."
After a pause, he added, "You have accepted my inheritance and can be considered my half-disciple. Mandala has always been like a daughter to me. So, you should call her Senior Sister and protect her well."
"I will," Xiao Tian said solemnly.
"The future of the Great Thousand World depends on you two." With these words, the Heavenly Emperor's remnant image dissipated into beams of spiritual light, merging back into the skeletal remains.
Seeing this, Xiao Tian and Mandala left the mausoleum.
Outside the Heavenly Emperor's mausoleum, Mandala asked, "What are your plans now?"
"I plan to go into seclusion for a while to break through to the Heavenly Supreme level. After that, I will unify the Tian Luo Continent," Xiao Tian replied with a smile. "As the heir of the Heavenly Emperor, it's only right that I reclaim the Tian Luo Continent."
"You have quite the ambition!" Mandala gave Xiao Tian a glance. "In that case, I'll first unify the Northern Realm. Once you reach Heavenly Supreme, we'll work together to unify Tian Luo."
The Northern Realm had no overly powerful forces. With her current peak Earth Supreme cultivation, she could easily consolidate it.
"Then let's part ways for now!" Xiao Tian summoned the spatial gate and said to Mandala, "Walking to the end of this path will take us back."
He stepped into the spatial gate first.
Knowing Xiao Tian had no ill intentions, Mandala followed him. They passed through the spatial gate and returned to the Da Luo Heavenly Territory.
Seeing the familiar surroundings, Mandala exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to have such a treasure. Does this mean you can let people freely enter and exit the Ancient Heavenly Palace without the Heavenly Emperor Sword?"
"Exactly," Xiao Tian nodded. "After I break through, I can help your people enter the palace to cultivate."
At this moment, he couldn't reveal the Ancient Heavenly Palace. But once he reached the Heavenly Supreme level, he could. By then, with his two clones, he would effectively have three Heavenly Supremes. Such power would ensure the palace's secrets were safe.
"Until we meet again!" Mandala cupped her fists toward Xiao Tian and flew back to Da Luo Heaven.
Xiao Tian stepped back into the spatial gate and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was back in the void outside the Dou Qi Continent and Tian Xuan Continent.
