"You've gone too far, true body!" Said the will of Wang Baole's clone. He was enraged, and wanted to struggle, but in front of the true body, he was completely powerless.
Wang Baole's true body wasn't moved at all. He stared at the clone and said, "Answer me. Do you want freedom?"
"Freedom my ass!" roared Wang Baole's clone. "Freedom is created by oneself, not given by others!"
Wang Baole's true body narrowed his eyes. "If you know that, it means that you're not completely hopeless. Now, don't you think you need to think things over?"
As soon as the voice sounded, Wang Baole's avatar shuddered. He stopped struggling and fell silent. He understood what his true form meant. He recalled what he had experienced previously, and after a moment, he suddenly spoke.
After a while, he said, "Are you saying that they're putting on an act?"
"I don't know if they're putting on an act or not, but I think … that Lord Auditory Desire came here a bit too hastily. Also, although she failed to summon the protectors, her other two true bodies weren't cut off. Even if they didn't come to Gluttony City, it's not impossible for them to summon the protectors. "
After hearing the words of the true body, Wang Baole's clone fell into deep thought.
"So, is there a possibility that … this is a trick … by Lord Auditory Desire and Lord Gluttony? You're a spectator, and so is the protector. " Wang Baole's true body's voice was calm, but his words caused the will of his clone to tremble.
"If this really is a trick, then … their goal is to get me to go to Auditory Desire City of my own accord …." Wang Baole's clone seemed to be lost in thought. Thanks to the guidance of the true body, he thought back to what had just happened, and had to admit that it was a possibility.
Wang Baole's true body chuckled. "You'll find out when you get there."
"Isn't that why you're here? You want me to give you the Dao Seed of Auditory Desire, and help you suppress the magical law of gluttony so that it won't devour Auditory Desire immediately. That way, your Auditory Desire will grow to the same level as the magical law of gluttony.
"I'll fulfill your wish." As Wang Baole's true body spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand. Light shone from his fingertips, and a beautiful sound seemed to come from them. Gradually, it turned into a rune that looked like a musical note.
The magical symbol shone brightly, and a tinkling sound could be heard. It sounded like the sound of water dripping onto a bell, and anyone who heard it would be affected by it. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of Wang Baole's clone. He flicked his finger, and the magical symbol shot toward the clone. It fused with the clone's will, and contained a suppressive power.
This power could allow the will of Wang Baole's doppelganger to temporarily suppress the instinct of the Law of Appetite after it returned to his body. Moreover, this suppression power was not controlled by the real body.
Once it existed, there would be a risk of exposure.
"Then, shall we proceed with the plan?" Wang Baole's avatar sent out a divine sense message.
"Everything will proceed as planned." Wang Baole's true body nodded. He watched as his clone's will retreated, gathering the fog that had scattered in the surroundings until it disappeared from the cave.
"Although you're cautious enough, you're still somewhat inferior to me when it comes to thinking. If you want to become someone great, you still need to temper yourself." As he watched his clone's will dissipate, Wang Baole's true body sat there cross-legged and smiled. He was about to close his eyes, but in the next instant, his eyes flew open and he looked at the spot where his clone's will had left.
"That's not right … The tricks of the two Lords of Desire seemed ingenious, but based on my understanding of myself, it's impossible for me to completely believe them at first sight … Then, why did this independent clone believe them so much?" Wang Baole's true body narrowed his eyes. After a while, he laughed again.
"Interesting, very interesting. This independent clone actually wants to act as me …."
At the same time, Wang Baole's clone's Nightmare of Desire exploded with speed the instant it left the ground. It burned its own body in exchange for extreme speed, as if it were fleeing for its life. In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, when eighty percent of the Nightmare of Desire had dissipated, it finally flew out of the desert and headed straight for Wang Baole, who was sitting cross-legged outside of the desert.
It touched his forehead and instantly sank in.
Soon, Wang Baole's clone's body trembled. His eyes opened, and he let out a long sigh.
"It's too dangerous for my true body," he murmured. "But this time, I've achieved my goal." As he murmured to himself, Wang Baole's eyes flashed with a profound light. In truth, how could he not have noticed what his true body had said?
However, he hadn't been able to think about it before. In his opinion, although his true body seemed to be indulging him, based on his understanding of himself, that was impossible.
Having an independent will clone had both advantages and disadvantages.
Therefore, when he met his true body, he had to hide his weakness. He had to pretend that his thoughts and calculations were inferior to his true body's. That was the only way he could avoid touching his true body's bottom line.
"However, given my true body's intelligence, I can only use this method this once." Wang Baole's clone stood up and looked at the desert for a long moment. Then, his body flickered, and he turned to leave.
"It would be best if I never came here again. Then, I would naturally carry out my true body's plan.
"If that's the case, then based on my understanding of myself, it's not impossible for me to allow my independent clone to be free."
As Wang Baole pondered, he left the desert. When he reached a place that he thought was relatively safe, he found a spot and sat down cross-legged. He unleashed the suppressive force that existed within his will and enveloped the Law of Appetite instantly.
Instantly, the Law of Appetite in his body became active. It was like a wild horse that had been reined in. It struggled and gradually became docile. This process lasted for several days. It was only when Wang Baole had completely suppressed the Law of Appetite that he opened his eyes. Even though there was a hint of weakness in his eyes, they shone brightly.
"Now, it's time to fuse with the Dao Seed musical note." Wang Baole carefully sensed the musical note within his will. Then, he sent his divine will into it. When his mind was completely fused with the musical note, Wang Baole's mind began to fill with a tinkling sound.
It was a beautiful sound that would cause anyone who heard it to be mesmerized. As it echoed out, Wang Baole's expression softened. Even the area around him seemed to change. Gradually, the tinkling sound began to emanate out from his mind, transforming into an ethereal feeling that lingered for a long time.
Time passed by slowly.
In the blink of an eye … seven days passed.
On the morning of the eighth day, the sun rose, dispelling the darkness and spreading over Wang Baole. At that point, Wang Baole opened his eyes.
