"I should take this opportunity to properly cultivate the Phantom Technique. The Phantom Technique was created by the Sword Shadow Emperor when he was in the Divine God realm. How could I forget such a powerful offensive technique?" Xiao Chen secretly cursed himself. He excitedly opened the Phantom Technique manual and carefully read it once again:
"The Phantom Technique was created by the Sword Shadow Emperor when he was in the Divine God realm. It is classified as a low-grade Heaven-ranked offensive technique. It is split into nine levels. Every time a cultivator successfully cultivates one level, they will be able to create an illusion that is exactly the same as the real body. Once cultivated to the ninth level, nine illusions will be created. The nine illusions can attack the enemy together with the real body. It will be hard to defend against. The illusions are formed by the cultivator's Soul Power and cultivation power, so it has a certain level of Soul Attack. It can cause the enemy to hallucinate for a short period of time, killing people in an invisible manner …"
After reading the complete Phantom Technique manual and knowing who created the Phantom Technique, what it was and the method to cultivate it, Xiao Chen closed the manual and placed it back into his storage ring. Then, he went through the cultivation method of the Phantom Technique in his mind and memorized it.
"Let's begin cultivating. Let's see if I can cultivate to the second or third level. Hehe." Xiao Chen muttered to himself in anticipation. He began to formally cultivate the profound and powerful Phantom Technique.
The Phantom Technique was easy to say. It was just a combination of a warrior's Soul Power and cultivation power to create a figure that was exactly the same as the real body. However, it was extremely difficult to actually do it. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Energy Condensation, Transfiguration, Spiritual Endowment. These were the three main steps of cultivating the Phantom Technique.
Energy Condensation was to gather a warrior's Power of Desolates to the surface of the warrior's body. However, it had to be gathered without dissipating. If it dissipated, it would be a waste.
Transfiguration was to transform the gathered Power of Desolates into a warrior's body. It had to be exactly the same as the real body for it to be considered a success. After the Power of Desolates was completely formed, it had to be separated from the warrior's body. It had to wait for the third step, Spiritual Endowment.
Spirit Bestowal was the process of a warrior imbuing a conjured Power of Desolation with his own soul energy, allowing the Power of Desolation to possess a certain level of spiritual awareness. This spiritual awareness would be connected to the warrior and listen to the warrior's commands, thus achieving the goal of attacking the enemy.
Gathering energy was the simplest, but it required a large amount of Power of Desolation. This determined that only high level warriors could cultivate it. Warriors below the Purple Image realm did not even have enough Power of Desolation reserves to gather energy once, much less to carry out transformations and Spirit Bestowal.
"Gather energy!"
Xiao Chen stood there with his eyes closed. With a deep roar in his heart, his powerful consciousness mobilized the large amounts of Power of Desolates in his meridians and Dantian to quickly reach every part of his body. Furthermore, the amount of energy gathered increased. He did not know when it would end.
"My mother! One energy gathering actually consumed a third of my Desolate Power reserves? Isn't this a little too exaggerated? It consumes several times more Power of Desolation than using Nine Extreme Kill once. "
The speed of gathering energy was extremely fast. It was completed in about a dozen breaths. Xiao Chen checked the remaining Power of Desolation in his meridians and Dantian. He could not help but be shocked. One energy gathering had consumed a third of his total Power of Desolation.
Although he was shocked, since he had decided to cultivate the Mirage technique, Xiao Chen would not give up halfway. The description of the Mirage technique was so powerful, so it was normal to pay a huge price to cultivate and use it. The effort and the reward were usually proportional.
"Transformations!" After reviewing the three key elements of transformations, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and with a deep roar in his heart, he began the second step of the Mirage technique, Transformations.
The step of transformations was extremely difficult. It required Xiao Chen to have absolute control over his own Power of Desolation. Once he lost control, the gathered Power of Desolation would dissipate into the air, wasting the large amount of Power of Desolation that he had painstakingly cultivated.
Xiao Chen did not dare to let his guard down. He mobilized almost all his consciousness and controlled the Power of Desolation on the surface of his body to transform into his own appearance. Using his consciousness to control energy, he could transform into a human form. It did not dissipate and was very lifelike. Before he succeeded, this process was a long process. It required trial and understanding.
Xiao Chen did not open his eyes. It was not that he had to close his eyes when using the Mirage technique, but he was in the process of learning the Mirage technique. He could not afford to be distracted. If he opened his eyes, his eyes would see things. It was inevitable that he would be distracted, resulting in a lower success rate.
Every time he gathered energy, it would consume a third of Xiao Chen's total Power of Desolation. If he failed once, he would lose a third of his total Power of Desolation. Even someone as powerful as Xiao Chen could not afford it. If he failed twice or thrice in a row, then Xiao Chen might even have the heart to cry.
Even though Xiao Chen's Dantian could produce Power of Desolation more than ten times faster than ordinary warriors, he still needed at least six to seven days to replenish a third of his Power of Desolation. Furthermore, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to expend all his Power of Desolation. He had to leave a third of his Power of Desolation to protect himself and fight.
In other words, Xiao Chen only had two chances to learn the Mirage technique. If he failed both times, then he would have to wait for his Power of Desolation to be replenished before he could continue learning the Mirage technique.
The process of the Power of Desolation transforming into a human form was slowly progressing. Xiao Chen maintained a state of full concentration as he paid close attention to the situation within his body. His powerful consciousness controlled the Power of Desolation to form his own energy form. As long as he succeeded once, he would find the trick and gain experience. The next time would be much easier and the speed would also increase.
"Mirage, out!"
An hour later, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and roared. His powerful consciousness controlled the Power of Desolation to slowly seep out from the surface of his body. It appeared outside his body, but it did not completely leave his body. It maintained a connected state.
The Power of Desolation was translucent. Its color was the same purplish-black as Xiao Chen's Power of Desolation. It looked very similar to Xiao Chen, but its facial features were very blurry. It gave people the feeling that it was Xiao Chen's shadow, but it emitted a weak glow. It was very strange.
The transformation was a success!
Next was the third step of the Mirage technique, Spiritual Endowment. This step was the most critical and the most difficult. Xiao Chen wanted to perfectly combine some of his soul power with the Power of Desolation's body, allowing the Power of Desolation's body to have a certain level of consciousness, as though a dead person had come back to life.
"Spiritual Endowment!"
Xiao Chen was a decisive person. He did not like to be sloppy, and it was the same for cultivation. The moment the transformation was completed, he immediately began the last and most critical step of Spiritual Endowment. "Shoo!
Shoo! Shoo! "
A powerful soul power shot out from between Xiao Chen's eyebrows, straight into the glabella of the Power of Desolation's body. It quickly spread to every part of the Power of Desolation's body, beginning the process of combining the soul power and the Power of Desolation's body.
After the Spiritual Endowment process began, the Power of Desolation's body, which was about the same size and height as Xiao Chen, began to glow brightly. It was as though a sealed person was gradually coming to life. It was extremely enchanting and magical.
The sleeping yellow dog was awakened. The Fengsha Sword also flew out of the storage ring. The Golden Roc also looked back at Xiao Chen in surprise. They knew that Xiao Chen was practicing a special and powerful offensive technique. They were somewhat worried as they waited for the moment Xiao Chen succeeded.
Success or failure would be known very soon.
