After breaking through to the Pure Yang True Immortal level, Zhou Tong didn't make any further breakthroughs. Instead, his body flashed, transforming into a streak of golden light that shot through the endless primordial chaos. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the most central location of the Three Realms … the Solar Star.
The Solar Star was filled with blazing, endless amounts of Solar Truefire. Every so often, one could even see streaks of golden flames. These were one of the most supreme flames of the Three Realms, Golden Solarfire.
"According to the [Thousand Bodies Sutra] that I've re-derived, there's no need to use a supreme treasure like the Worldheart. Instead, I'll use Golden Solarfire. Golden Solarfire that has its own sentience!" With but a thought, Zhou Tong immediately began to collect Golden Solarfire from the Solar Star.
The [Thousand Bodies Sutra] allowed one to create a total of a thousand clones, and each clone had to use up a single streak of Golden Solarfire. A thousand clones meant a thousand streaks of Golden Solarfire. Zhou Tong already had one streak of Golden Solarfire when he was training in the [Golden Sunstreak]. Now, he only lacked 999 streaks of Golden Solarfire.
Zhou Tong walked through the Solar Star by himself, slowly collecting Golden Solarfire.
Those streaks of golden flames transformed into golden runes, which then transformed into thin, thread-like runes. As Zhou Tong continued to collect Golden Solarfire, more and more golden runes appeared on his body. Every single rune was formed from Golden Solarfire.
Slowly, more and more runes appeared on his body. By the time a thousand streaks of Golden Solarfire had been completely collected, Zhou Tong's body seemed to be covered in a golden kasaya, and his entire body emanated an extremely profound aura.
"I've already collected a thousand streaks of Golden Solarfire. However, before that, in order to prevent myself from using up too much energy during training, I'll need another one or two thousand streaks of Golden Solarfire as backup." Zhou Tong continued to walk through the Solar Star, continuing to collect Golden Solarfire.
He worked hard on the Solar Star, and in the end, he had collected more than two thousand streaks of Golden Solarfire as backup.
"I can begin my training now." Zhou Tong took a single step forward. Instantly, the stars began to move, and he quickly left the Solar Star and the Three Realms. He found a relatively desolate planet within the primordial chaos, then placed the Starseizing Manor down and immediately entered it.
Just as Zhou Tong left the Three Realms, a surprised voice rang out from the void.
"He was the one who created the Golden Solar Rainbow, which greatly increased the strength of Nüwa's faction. Now, he has obtained a vast amount of Golden Solar Flames from the Sun Star, and even left the Three Realms. Why?"
"Could it be that he already knows that my body has fused with the Heavenly Dao and that I possess my own will to a certain extent?"
A faint voice drifted through the Primal Chaos and then quickly disappeared.
On the other side, Zhou Tong immediately went into seclusion the moment he entered the Zhaixing Mansion.
Zhou Tong immediately activated his modified version of the [Thousand Bodies Scripture]. Immediately, the countless golden runes on his body began to rearrange themselves. A terrifying Nirvana Divine Flame emerged from Zhou Tong's body and fused with the golden runes, forming a scarlet red color that flowed all over his body.
"Buzz!!"
A mysterious and unfathomable aura began to emanate from Zhou Tong's body. Finally, the countless runes fused with the Golden Solar Flames and Nirvana Divine Flame to form an extremely complex divine rune. This divine rune then fused into Zhou Tong's body.
Then, something miraculous happened. Zhou Tong felt as if his truesoul was transforming and splitting apart.
"This feeling … the splitting of my truesoul …" Zhou Tong entered a state of intoxication. He forced himself to focus and carefully sense the changes in his body, soul, and truesoul.
In this Desolate Era, the most fundamental and most important thing to all life was the truesoul. Even if one's soul was destroyed, it would only mean that the living being had died in the real world. However, their truesoul would return to the river of fate in this world. If one was strong enough, they could 'fish' out the truesoul from the river of fate.
Generally speaking, World God level cultivators would be able to do this. For example, Nüwa's Six Paths of Reincarnation involved the truesoul. It could take a cultivator's truesoul to be reincarnated.
The truesoul was the most important thing to cultivators in this world. As long as one's truesoul was still present, regardless of whether one's soul was destroyed or destroyed, it meant that one was still alive and had a chance to come back to life.
The reason why the Thousand Bodies Scripture was so miraculous was that it could also split a cultivator's truesoul into more than a thousand pieces, allowing the cultivator to obtain a thousand genuine lives.
Not only his body and soul, but also Zhou Tong's most important imprint of the Reincarnation Mirror. At this moment, it actually took the initiative to split into every single one of Zhou Tong's clones.
At this moment, the splitting of his divine body and soul caused Zhou Tong's energy to be depleted.
Almost subconsciously, he released 1,000 streams of Golden Sun Flames, which he had prepared as backup.
These strands of Golden Solar Flames immediately transformed into the purest flame energy and merged into Zhou Tong's body, replenishing his energy.
After an unknown period of time, Zhou Tong finally split into a thousand strands of scarlet light. Each strand of light transformed into Zhou Tong's appearance, sitting quietly in the main hall of the Star-Seizing Manor.
"I've finally completed the first level of the Thousand Bodies Scripture!"
"Each clone is an independent existence. Each one has the most complete truesoul, soul, and even the Pure Yang Golden pill!" Zhou Tong's eyes revealed a hint of joy.
A thousand clones, a thousand lives. Although they were essentially the same person, the death of a few wouldn't affect the other clones. Moreover, as long as he paid a small price, he could cultivate them back.
Of course, this was only because this was only the first level of the Thousand Bodies Scripture. Although he could split into a thousand clones, in reality, the strength of each of his clones had decreased significantly.
"Next is to let each clone have the strength of the original body. This is the second level of the Thousand Bodies Scripture!" Zhou Tong's heart stirred, and he finally released the remaining thousand strands of Golden Solar Flames.
The second level of the Thousand Bodies Scripture wasn't something that could be mastered with time. Because these thousand clones combined were equal to the strength of Zhou Tong's original body, there was a limit to each clone's strength.
To break this limit and make each clone as strong as the original body, one could only use various treasures to strengthen them, such as chaos nectar.
Chaos nectar was the essence extracted from the primal chaos. It could perfectly improve each clone's abilities, such as the divine body, soul, and even heartforce.
However, Zhou Tong didn't have such an all-purpose treasure, so he could only improve them one by one. The first things he needed to improve were his divine body and soul.
The thousand strands of Golden Solar Flames transformed into "cocoons" that enveloped all of Zhou Tong's clones. It was as if they had turned into cocoons and were constantly being nurtured.
