Chapter 358: Nine Shadow Clone Technique!

Chapter 358: Nine Shadow Clone Technique!

At this moment, the onlookers were divided into two opinions. One group believed that Ye Tian was so powerful that he naturally wouldn't need such a treasure.

The other group thought that Ye Tian might not have such a versatile Chaos Spirit Treasure in his possession, and obtaining it could enhance his power.

Among the crowd, Ancestor Hongjun had the clearest insight. He knew Ye Tian was unlikely to choose the Thirty-Sixth Grade Hongmeng Golden Lotus.

If Ye Tian selected the golden lotus, it would be destined to remain unused in his possession, never seeing the light of day. Moreover, given Ye Tian's rapid growth in strength, the Thirty-Sixth Grade Hongmeng Golden Lotus would soon become obsolete.

If Ye Tian had his own faction, the situation might be slightly different. The golden lotus could serve as a treasure to stabilize the fate of his faction, and as a Chaos Spirit Treasure, it was superior to existing treasures used for this purpose in the Primordial World.

However, there remained a puzzling question: Was Ye Tian a lone powerhouse, or did he have a faction or sect backing him? Until now, no one had been able to figure this out.

While Ye Tian's strength had gradually been revealed, the mystery of his origins and whether he had other powers supporting him remained unsolved.

Take for example the likes of Tongtian Jiaozhu, Laozi, and Zhunti—all these saints had considerable factions under them, which helped them handle various matters and even acted on their behalf.

Ancestor Hongjun, however, did not have such a faction. This was because his strength was unparalleled; before Ye Tian appeared, he was the strongest being in the Primordial World. Whatever he said was law, and he didn't need a faction.

Ye Tian, however, was different. Ancestor Hongjun believed that Ye Tian, who had been operating in the shadows, might develop his own faction to assist him in seeking treasures and rare materials.

If Ye Tian had such a faction, he might indeed need the Thirty-Sixth Grade Hongmeng Golden Lotus as a treasure to stabilize its fate.

Of course, it was also possible that Ye Tian already possessed a treasure for this purpose, though it would not compare to the golden lotus. If he didn't have a faction, the likelihood of Ye Tian choosing this treasure was significantly lower.

These were merely speculations before the second reward was revealed. Even Ye Tian didn't pay much attention to the first reward, focusing instead on the second one.

The crowd also had various guesses about the second reward, but this time, the announcement came swiftly.

[Technique List, Rank 4 Reward: Nine Shadow Clone Technique!]

[Creates nine clones identical in strength to the original body!]

When the Nine Shadow Clone Technique appeared, people initially thought it was just a slightly stronger spell. Being ranked fourth on the list, it couldn't be too bad.

But upon reading the explanation, they realized they had underestimated the Gold List's rewards.

The Nine Shadow Clone Technique was the pinnacle of all clone-related techniques. Previously, Laozi's Three Pure Ones to One Qi was considered extremely powerful, and nearly everyone in the Primordial World knew of it.

However, with the Nine Shadow Clone Technique's emergence, Three Pure Ones to One Qi paled in comparison.

Laozi's technique could create three clones with equal strength, while the Nine Shadow Clone Technique could create nine such clones.

This wasn't merely three times as many; each additional clone exponentially increased combat power. Most importantly, the one who obtained this technique was Ye Tian.

Ye Tian was already incredibly powerful in the Primordial World, and now, with this spell or technique, who could possibly rival him?

Once Ye Tian mastered this spell, even Ancestor Hongjun would stand no chance. The thought of facing nine Ye Tians was terrifying.

[Sun Wukong: This spell is too powerful! Creating nine clones with the same strength—what other spell in the Primordial World can compare?]

[Erlang Shen: These aren't just simple clones. What's key is that Ye Tian is already a top-tier Heavenly Path Saint. With this spell, his strength will skyrocket even further!]

[Ancestor Minghe: Just this one reward alone—forget being ranked fourth—even if it were ranked first, few would object. Ye Tian's luck is exceptional. He was already powerful, and this fourth reward turns out to be another extraordinary spell!]

[Guanyin Bodhisattva: The first treasure, a Chaos Spirit Treasure, now seems insignificant compared to this second spell. Anyone who thought Ye Tian might choose the first reward can now see that's impossible!]

It was evident to everyone that the Nine Shadow Clone Technique was unmatched in the Primordial World. Not even Chaos Spirit Treasures or other precious items could rival it.

As long as the technique was mastered, even someone weaker than Ye Tian would see their strength improve by dozens of times, not just ninefold.

The Nine Shadow Clone Technique was a temptation for everyone, but they could only envy it from afar. This spell was beyond their reach.

[Tathagata Buddha: If not for the Gold List, who would have known there existed such a powerful spell in the Primordial World? Once mastered, even an ordinary Saint could contend with a Heavenly Path Saint!]

The stronger one was, the more they could perceive the Nine Shadow Clone Technique's might. However, everyone also understood that with such power, there must be flaws.

While the Gold List didn't mention any, it was certain the technique had limitations.

The Nine Shadow Clone Technique was so powerful that its cultivation was exceedingly difficult. Only those with exceptional talent, comprehension, and strength could even attempt to learn it. Luck also played a small role in achieving mastery.

Combining all these factors, only those who met every requirement could hope to master it.

It wasn't a technique just anyone could learn.

Even Laozi's Three Pure Ones to One Qi wasn't something everyone could grasp. None of Laozi's disciples had learned it, highlighting the difficulty of such spells.

Moreover, the Nine Shadow Clone Technique was a hundred times more challenging than Three Pure Ones to One Qi. Even someone experienced, like Laozi, would struggle to master it.

Only Ye Tian, with his supreme confidence in his strength, talent, and comprehension, had no doubts about his ability to succeed.

Ye Tian was certain that, no matter how difficult the Nine Shadow Clone Technique was, he had the means to overcome any obstacles.
