Chapter 337 - 328: Divine Splitting Possession Technique

Chapter 337: Chapter 328: Divine Splitting Possession Technique

’No, it’s too dangerous to go there directly. No one knows what the situation in that Secret Realm is like. I need to find a way, preferably one that lets Corpse Puppet No.1 go in my place.’

But Zhang Chi quickly shook his head.

He was talking about the Oasis Ruins that the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Golden Wind Oasis had mentioned to him all those years ago.

However, he had already used the Tier Three Turtle Shell for divination but hadn’t obtained any more detailed information about the Oasis Ruins.

He couldn’t even be sure if there was any Star Divine Iron in the ruins, or if going there would be life-threatening.

He simply didn’t know enough about the ruins, and they were too far away.

It even seemed that before appearing, the ruins were hidden in the void.

Because of this, he was even more reluctant to risk his own life.

Besides, going on an exploration would inevitably delay his Cultivation. The round trip could take a decade, if not longer.

However, sending a Corpse Puppet, Spirit Beast, or Puppet in his stead was not a very safe option.

The first two lacked the intelligence of a Cultivator, and he wouldn’t be able to control them from too great a distance.

As for a regular Puppet, that went without saying.

After that, Zhang Chi left his cave abode, returned directly to the Sect, and went to the top floor of the Inheritance Hall.

He wanted to see if there was a Secret Technique that would allow him to control a Puppet or Corpse Puppet from an extreme distance.

However, he didn’t find much. There were a few Magic Skills that utilized the Divine Soul, but none of them met his requirements.

So, after some thought, Zhang Chi went to Canglan City to ask Wu Tianyi.

"Why are you looking for this type of Magic Skill?" Wu Tianyi asked, puzzled.

"It’s simple. With a skill like that, I could multitask. For example, I could buy a Puppet to use as a tool to go out and gather resources for me. Of course, it would be even better if I could find the legendary External Incarnation Method," Zhang Chi explained with a smile.

"I see. I don’t have any Magic Skills like that, though I had a similar idea once, I had to give up on it in the end. For one, such skills are too rare. For another, even if you find one, they usually have side effects."

"As for an External Incarnation Method, that’s even rarer. However, I believe the Sect has a Magic Skill called the Divine Splitting Possession Technique. It’s said that it allows a Cultivator to split off a small part of their Divine Soul and place it into an external object like a Puppet, thereby achieving long-range control."

The Canglan City Lord had a moment of realization and immediately gave his answer without thinking too much about it.

Of course, the main reason he didn’t think much of it was that he had no idea Zhang Chi possessed a Tier Four Middle Grade Corpse Puppet.

"The Divine Splitting Possession Technique? That sounds promising. Why haven’t I seen it in the Sect’s Inheritance Hall?"

Zhang Chi’s eyes lit up.

"That is a Celestial Grade Magic Skill. Of course it’s not in the Inheritance Hall. If you want it, you have to find a Supreme Elder or ask the Sect Leader," the Canglan City Lord said with a faint smile.

"No wonder."

Zhang Chi realized.

"However, I must remind you, this technique has a huge hidden danger. After all, splitting off your Divine Soul will have a great impact on you. Moreover, if the separated part of your soul dissipates, your own Divine Soul could collapse, leading to death. Therefore, I don’t recommend you cultivate it," the Canglan City Lord continued.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. Even if I obtain this Magic Skill, I will study it carefully and decide whether or not to cultivate it based on the situation. I would never act rashly," Zhang Chi said, accepting the advice gracefully.

"Good. In that case, go ask the Sect Leader about it. Since this Magic Skill isn’t very practical, most Cultivators who get it just use it for reference. So, it shouldn’t cost too many Contribution Points. Also, if you’re short on manpower, I can arrange for a few people to help you. You could also take on a few disciples. That way, you can have your disciples handle these small matters, and you won’t need to cultivate such a dangerous and special Magic Skill," the Canglan City Lord continued.

"I don’t have the time to teach disciples, so I don’t have any plans for that at the moment. As for manpower, I’ll find my own if necessary. I wouldn’t want to trouble you, Senior Brother," Zhang Chi said, shaking his head.

"What a pity. A new batch of True Inheritors have just condensed their Golden Cores, and the Sect is planning to find masters for them. I’ve already taken on many disciples and can’t accept any more. But if you were willing to take one or two, the Sect Leader would definitely be very pleased."

The Canglan City Lord couldn’t help but sound a little regretful.

After that, the two chatted for a while longer, and at one point, they mentioned the map that Wei Wei had given them over a decade ago.

However, it wasn’t just Zhang Chi; even the Canglan City Lord had studied it but couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Fortunately, neither of them was too concerned about it.

After all, things like that were a dime a dozen in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Afterward, Zhang Chi went to the Sect again. This time, he went directly to the Canglan Sect Leader and asked about the Celestial Grade Magic Skill.

"I do indeed have that Celestial Grade Magic Skill. If you have enough Contribution Points, you can exchange for it at any time," the Sect Leader said with a smile from within the Floating Hall.

’How many Contribution Points?’ Zhang Chi asked inwardly, overjoyed.

"Ten million," the Sect Leader replied instantly.

"That many?" Zhang Chi’s face stiffened.

The Canglan Sect’s Contribution Points were extremely valuable, with one point being equivalent to one Middle Grade spirit stone. So, even Zhang Chi couldn’t afford ten million Contribution Points.

"Haha, actually, I can give you a discount on this Magic Skill. The cultivation threshold is very high, but its practical use is quite limited. Moreover, it must be cultivated with extreme caution, or the harm it can cause is immense. So, even if you got it, you most likely wouldn’t be able to cultivate it and could only use it to broaden your horizons."

"If I weren’t worried that fellow sect members might cultivate it recklessly, I would have long since classified it as a Top Grade technique and placed it in the Inheritance Hall," the Sect Leader suddenly said with a laugh.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, is there something you need me to do?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chi was once again delighted, but also a bit speechless. He knew immediately that the Sect Leader must be doing this on purpose; he definitely had an ulterior motive.

"Haha, talking to a clever junior brother like you is so easy. I do indeed have a task for you, but it’s not difficult. You just need to select two disciples from the juniors who were recently promoted to True Inheritors," the Sect Leader laughed heartily.

"You want me to take on disciples? Don’t tell me Senior Brother Wu and you, Senior Brother Sect Leader, planned this in advance and were deliberately waiting for me here?"

Zhang Chi instantly felt like he’d been set up.

"That is indeed the case. Before you arrived, he had already sent me a message saying you wanted this Magic Skill. However, he wasn’t trying to plot against you. Quite the opposite, he wanted to put in a good word for you and have me give you a discount. The condition of you taking disciples was my own idea," the Sect Leader said truthfully.

"I see."

It dawned on Zhang Chi. He had just made a guess, but he hadn’t expected to be so close to the truth.

"So? What do you think? The Magic Skill is just a little extra. If you take on disciples, the Sect will give you additional Contribution Points as a reward. Besides, you definitely won’t be able to cultivate this technique, but having two disciples would perfectly solve the problem of you being too busy with your cultivation and having no one to help with tasks," the Sect Leader said expectantly.

"Alright, I’ll go take a look. But if there are no suitable candidates, don’t force me, Senior Brother Sect Leader. And I might not take two; I might only take one, or none at all and wait for the next time."

After some thought, Zhang Chi finally agreed.

He realized that this Magic Skill wasn’t held in high regard, so even if he refused to take disciples and insisted on exchanging for it, he probably still had a good chance of getting it with some Contribution Points.

But in the end, he didn’t do that.

After all, the Sect had treated him well so far, and it was only right for him to help the Sect in return.

Besides, taking on disciples didn’t necessarily mean he had to invest too much effort. If he didn’t have time to manage them, he could just let them develop on their own.

"Alright, let’s go over immediately."

The Sect Leader was overjoyed to hear this and immediately led Zhang Chi to the Sect Hall, which was situated on the summit of a tall peak.

This was where the Sect handled its various affairs, unlike the Floating Hall, which only Nascent Soul Elders could enter and exit.

At this moment, a disciple selection ceremony was underway, and many Nascent Soul True Monarchs were gathered here.

They sat in high seats, while their potential choices—the Golden Core True Inheritors—stood respectfully below.

"Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle Sect Leader, Junior Martial Uncle Chen."

When Zhang Chi and the Sect Leader arrived, the assembled Nascent Soul True Monarchs all gave them a slight nod, while the Golden Core True Inheritors bowed in unison to greet them.

Afterward, Zhang Chi was given a list with the specific details of these True Disciples.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi couldn’t help but recall the past, when he had just revealed his Foundation Establishment Cultivation and returned to the Cangwu Sect to find a master.

’I wonder how Master is doing. So many years have passed; she must have exhausted her Lifespan and passed away by now, right?’ Zhang Chi thought to himself.

Zhang Chi knew a Divination Skill, but the Great Abyss was too far away, so he couldn’t use it to find out any definite information.

Next, Zhang Chi examined the list closely and discovered that most of these True Disciples had a Four Patterns Golden Core, and there was even one with a Five Patterns Golden Core.

However, that Five Patterns Golden Core True Inheritor had already been snapped up.

The remaining True Inheritors then came forward one by one to be questioned and selected by the various Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

At the same time, they could also proactively ask a specific True Monarch to be their master, but whether they would succeed or not depended on luck.

Failing would be rather awkward, as the other True Monarchs would be somewhat put off by it.

Because of this, few True Inheritors did so.

Even those who did were very confident of their chances.

While Zhang Chi was looking at the list, many of the True Disciples were secretly observing him, some even discussing him through private voice transmissions.

Zhang Chi quickly finished reading the list and immediately had a plan in mind.

In his eyes, these True Inheritors were all more or less the same. The biggest differences were their Cultivation Techniques and their backgrounds.

For example, some came from Major Immortal Cultivation Clans, while others had no background. Some had Cultivation Techniques that were very different from his Main Cultivation Technique, while others had some overlap.

Zhang Chi’s criteria were simple: a Cultivator with no background, preferably one who practiced a Fire Element Cultivation Technique or had some experience in Artifact Refining, Alchemy, or Magic.

This would make it easier for him to teach them and would also prevent any unnecessary trouble.

Of course, accepting a True Inheritor from an Immortal Cultivation Clan was also an option, as the disciple’s family could become a source of support.

But Zhang Chi clearly didn’t need that.

Besides, True Inheritors with backgrounds like that usually had their own plans and didn’t need him to interfere much.

"Junior Martial Uncle Chen, this disciple, Li Caiwei, wishes to take you as my master, and so does my younger sister, Li Cailing!"

Just then, before Zhang Chi had decided who to choose, a female True Disciple stepped forward, looked at him with great expectation, and directly requested to become his disciple.
