King of Assassins-Chapter 996 - 683: Infinite Transformations

"Master, you've finally emerged..."

Ripples saw Gao Xuan coming out of the meditation chamber and displayed exceptional joy.

For over two hundred days, Gao Xuan stayed in the chamber without any activity.

Ripples, being young, couldn't bear the loneliness. She was particularly dependent on Gao Xuan.

Even separated by a thin wooden door, without Gao Xuan's orders, Ripples dared not barge in and could only wait bitterly outside.

So, upon seeing Gao Xuan, she was especially excited, running over to tug at Gao Xuan's sleeve coquettishly.

Gao Xuan gently patted Ripples on the head to show affection.

He casually asked, "Was there anything that happened during my retreat?"

"Not much happened. It's just that Hu Ji came to visit once, and Tao Jun, Zuo Wentao, Jiang Yunfeng each came once too."

Ripples wasn't too fond of them, commenting, "It seems they had no real business, except Tao Jun left you a letter."

Thinking a bit, she added, "Although Baili Qingtong often came over to play with me."

While Baili Qingtong wasn't important, since Master asked, it had to be mentioned.

Gao Xuan nodded, "As long as there's nothing."

He initially thought Ao Qiong or the Golden Horn King might come causing trouble, luckily the pace of this realm is slow. For some reason, they haven't come to bother.

Gao Xuan secretly felt relieved, fortunate that they didn't come barging in during this period.

Otherwise, immersed in the Emperor's Nine Transformations Scripture, difficult to extricate himself, if a strong enemy attacked, who knows what issues would arise.

Now that he had initially learned the Emperor's Nine Transformations Scripture, he was eager to find someone to spar.

Ripples didn't know what Gao Xuan was thinking, she handed over Tao Jun's letter, "Master, here's Tao Jun's letter."

Gao Xuan casually opened it, the letter was written using cloud patterns, likely for confidentiality.

The contents were simple, mainly reminding Gao Xuan to be careful, hearing that the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance on that side had disturbances, seemingly a powerful Demon King wanted to come causing trouble.

On the other hand, Ao Qiong seemed furious about the King Jinlin situation. Only Ao Qiong was busy dealing with his own things. When he got some free time, he might trouble as well. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Tao Jun's writing was subtle, yet the meaning expressed was clear.

After reading, Gao Xuan laughed, Tao Jun was intentionally currying favor. However, this attitude was clear, no matter who came causing trouble, he wouldn't help.

Gao Xuan shook the letter aside casually, from it flashed spiritual light transforming into a person, an identical copy of Gao Xuan.

Ripples stood dumbfounded, her gaze flickering between the two Gao Xuans, one standing, one sitting, but their facial expressions, demeanor, and poise were completely alike.

Even their eyes shimmered with deep blue speckled with golden glimmers, bright yet profound, filled with charm.

No noticeable difference between the two.

Ripples, cultivated by Gao Xuan's Divine Soul, was most attuned to Gao Xuan's aura. Yet she still couldn't differentiate the true Gao Xuan.

Even knowing the seated one was the original, the standing one lacked any illusions or falsehood.

The more Ripples looked, the more amazed she was, her mouth agape, eventually asking, "Master, what's going on?"

Gao Xuan smiled, "Just a Clone Technique."

For Spirit Immortals, Clone Technique isn't too difficult. The magic is interesting, widely applicable, and many are adept in it.

Emperor's Nine Transformations Scripture's Hundred Transformations is essentially Advanced Clone Technique. Its power vastly differs from ordinary Clone Technique.

Gao Xuan used the letter to turn into his clone, this clone retained seventy percent of his power, which is very significant.

Normal Clone Technique, akin to illusion technique, can only do ordinary tasks, easily disrupted by Power.

Gao Xuan's clone retains seventy percent combat strength, significantly effective in battle.

When killed, the clone dissipates, to Gao Xuan it's just a minor loss of Divine Soul Power, negligible.

Gao Xuan could create hundreds or thousands of clones, but more clones mean weaker strength.

Hundreds or thousands of clones appear lively, but in actual combat, they're just wasteful, not practical.

In Gao Xuan's view, it's best to limit clones to below three, maintaining considerable combat power and flexibility.

The highest level of Hundred Transformations, can create 108,000 clones, each holding the same power as the original.

Honestly, Gao Xuan is skeptical of this claim.

If a Daluo Golden Immortal creates 108,000 clones, wouldn't they be invincible?

Clearly, such a delightful scenario isn't likely. So, Hundred Transformations must have an upper limit.

Being a beginner, Gao Xuan learned the magical transformation, yet doesn't comprehend its essence entirely.

Testing the waters now, Gao Xuan is quite satisfied with the Hundred Transformations' change.

At least, for his level, this magic is super practical. Hence using the letter is just a gimmick. Clone change relies entirely on Divine Soul Power and has nothing to do with external items.

This clone naturally has limitations, unable to exceed Gao Xuan's Divine Soul sensing range.

The clone itself possesses no wisdom, like an extension of Gao Xuan's arm, all changes must be directed by Gao Xuan's Divine Soul.

This clone isn't a lifeform, fundamentally different from Ripples.

Moreover, maintaining the clone also consumes Divine Soul Power.

With a change of heart, Gao Xuan transformed the clone into a swallow.

The swallow flapping its wings, fluttered out the door, propelled by the autumn wind soaring into the azure sky.

In Gao Xuan's Divine Soul layer, he saw the azure sky and white clouds from the swallow's view, felt the chilly autumn wind, sensed the air flow changes from its wing flap vibrations.
