Hokkaidōjin said, "Their clones seem no different from their true bodies and can release Dharmic arts, secret skills and control Dharmic weapons. However, in reality, there's only a pure spirit consciousness left in their clones. Without a true Essence Spirit, they can't control their Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristics."
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat and he could not recover for a long time.
"Without a Heaven and Earth Dharma Characteristic, they can fight against demons and even suppress the six Overlords with just a single clone. The three Dao Lords truly live up to their reputation."
Upon hearing Su Zimo's praise, Hokkaidōjin seemed to be indifferent. "Don't forget that before the three of them arrived, the six Overlords had just fought and their stamina was more than half depleted and their combat strength was reduced."
"Furthermore, they returned empty-handed after entering Thousand Demon Valley and their three clones were destroyed. It can be said that they're severely injured."
"Do you think it's easy to cultivate a fully formed doppelganger?"
Hokkaidōjin said, "Clone techniques as such are rare to begin with. Even if they do, they won't be able to condense them without a thousand years of tough cultivation! "
"In that case, the three Dao Lords suffered a huge loss," Su Zimo murmured softly.
Hokkaidōjin nodded. "Dao Lord Immortal Sword suffered the most losses and could be said to have lost everything. Not only did he lose the Demon Sealing Diagram and his clone, he even promised Yun Yu and Yun Yu immense benefits. "
"This grudge has been settled. However, you don't have to be afraid. Firstly, he doesn't know who stole the Heaven Slaying Sword Art. Secondly, it doesn't matter even if he knows. An ancient secret skill like that is ownerless and anyone can snatch it! "
At the same time.
Middle Continent, Sword Sect, Immortal Sword Dao Residence.
"Damn it!"
A hysterical roar sounded from the Dao residence, attracting the attention of many Sword Sect cultivators nearby.
"What's wrong with Senior Brother Immortal Sword?"
"I'm not sure. A few days ago, two titular disciples entered seclusion with Senior Brother Immortal Sword in his cave abode and haven't come out since."
"Senior Brother Immortal Sword's friends are also paragons and monster incarnates of Tianhuang Mainland. How enviable."
"Strange, Senior Brother Immortal Sword has always been calm and steady. Why would he lose his composure like this?"
Just as everyone was discussing, a sword light rippled over from afar like autumn water.
Everyone's expression changed.
"Senior Sister Qin."
"Greetings, Senior Sister Qin."
Many swordsmen hurriedly bowed in greeting. Their eyes flickered as if they were afraid of the newcomer.
The person who came was dressed in a white dress. Her sleeves fluttered in the wind, and her black hair brushed against her face. She carried a long sword on her back, and she looked like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
This Senior Sister Qin didn't look old and was in the prime of her life. Her skin was like cream, her eyes were like water, and her two sword-like eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a trace of heroic spirit.
Senior Sister Qin glanced at them and frowned slightly. She looked angry and said sternly, "What nonsense are you spouting here instead of cultivating? Senior Brother Immortal Sword is not someone you can criticize! "
"Yes, yes, yes. Senior Sister Qin is right."
"We know we were wrong. We'll go cultivate diligently now."
No one dared to raise their heads. They hurriedly admitted their mistakes, bowed, and left.
When they were far away, everyone looked around. When they realized that there was no one around, they began to gossip again.
"What's the relationship between Senior Sister Qin and Senior Brother Immortal Sword? Why does she keep protecting him?"
"I heard that the two of them joined the sect at the same time and cultivated together. They can be considered childhood sweethearts. Furthermore, Senior Brother Immortal Sword is so outstanding. Let alone Senior Sister Qin, even the other women in our sect and fairies of Tianhuang Mainland would fall for him. "
"That's right. I heard that Fairy Snowdrift is accompanying Senior Brother Immortal Sword in his seclusion this time round."
On the other side, Senior Sister Qin had already arrived before a Dao residence with a hesitant expression, as though she wanted to knock on the door but was in a dilemma.
A moment later, Senior Sister Qin finally made up her mind and knocked on the door gently, asking gently, "Senior Brother Chen, are you alright?"
Dao Lord Immortal Sword's surname was Chen. However, he had been the titular disciple of Sword Sect for more than a thousand years. Apart from some people who joined the sect earlier, no one else knew about it.
The cave abode was silent.
Senior Sister Qin waited for a moment and revealed a disappointed expression. Just as she was about to turn and leave, a voice sounded from the cave abode.
"Oh, it's Pianran. I'm fine. Sorry to have worried you, "
Dao Lord Immortal Sword's voice sounded, as though he had regained his composure.
However, Qin Pianran could vaguely hear a hint of coldness in his voice.
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Pianran asked again, "Senior Brother Chen, I heard that Fairy Snowdrift is in your residence. Is that true …"
"Pianran, there's nothing else. You can head back."
Dao Lord Immortal Sword's voice sounded and interrupted Qin Pianran with a clear hint of coldness.
Qin Pianran bit his red lips gently and stomped his feet with reddened eyes before turning to leave.
The cave abode was dimly lit and three figures could be vaguely seen.
Dao Lord Cloud Rain curled his lips slightly and swept his gaze across Dao Lord Immortal Sword and Fairy Snowdrift. He said leisurely with a hint of playfulness.
"To think that Brother Immortal Sword is a sentimental person."
Dao Lord Immortal Sword had a calm expression and said indifferently, "Pianran and I are merely junior sisters from the same sect. There's nothing between us. Snowdrift, don't think too much."
Fairy Snowflake remained silent.
A moment later, she changed the topic and asked, "Can the two of you tell what the person who snatched the treasure is up to?"
"I don't know,"
Dao Lord Cloud Rain pouted. "That person did not reveal any signature techniques or Dharmic arts. I can't tell his background."
Fairy Snowdrift nodded as well.
Not only could she not tell the background of that person, she did not even know if he was a human or demon.
"However …"
Suddenly, Dao Lord Cloud Rain seemed to have thought of something and hesitated.
"Could it be that you have some reservations, Brother Cloud Rain?" Dao Lord Immortal Sword frowned slightly.
"That's not it,"
Dao Lord Cloud Rain chuckled. "Actually, that person's Essence Spirit secret skill reminded me of an old friend. However, that old friend is a Dao Lord from 5,000 years ago and has long fallen. "
"Who?"
Dao Lord Immortal Sword asked.
Dao Lord Cloud Rain said faintly, "That person's Dao title is Extreme Fire."
"Hokkaidōjin … That name sounds familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere before," Fairy Snowdrift frowned in deep thought.
Dao Lord Cloud Rain said slowly, "I was number two on the Dharma Characteristic Ranking 5,000 years ago and Hokkaidōjin was number one!"
"It's him!"
Dao Lord Immortal Sword and Fairy Snowdrift were shocked.
Back then, Hokkaidōjin was extremely famous in the cultivation world and came from Hundred Refinement Sect. Not only was he a top Weapon Refinement Grandmaster, his combat strength could even suppress those of the same generation. He was number one on the Dharma Characteristic Ranking and was known as the number one fire controller in the past 10,000 years – his name shook the world!
Fairy Snowdrift shook her head. "It can't be him. He has been missing for 5,000 years and should have died long ago."
"Furthermore, if he had appeared, given his strength, how could he have been entangled with our clones for so long?"
Dao Lord Cloud Rain shrugged. "I know that it can't be him as well. That's why I said it casually."
Dao Lord Immortal Sword soared into the air with a face filled with killing intent. His gaze was cold as he said, "I don't care who that person is. If I find out his identity, I'll kill him even if I have to go to the ends of the world or Acheron!"
"I'm going to make him regret everything he did in Thousand Demon Valley!"
Dao Lord Cloud Rain narrowed his eyes and asked, "Immortal Sword, you're still unwilling to tell us what's in that ball of light?"
"It's a secret of the sect. Sorry," Dao Lord Immortal Sword rejected him casually.
