Chapter 286: Secret Clone
"this?"
Before he could make any move, a vibrant force emerged from the green butterfly mark on his arm and rushed towards the curse power that had just entered his body.
When the two forces collided, the curse power seemed to have met its nemesis and was annihilated into nothingness.
Ivan then realized that the power of the butterfly curse not only had a strong healing effect, but could also resist other curse powers.
On second thought, it makes sense. The blue butterfly mark was originally transformed from a high-level curse, and has the same nature as the power of the curse. Now it has changed from extinction to vitality, so it is not surprising that it can resist other curses.
At this moment, countless spirits suffered backlash, especially the chief priest and butler in the castle, whose body was suddenly severely injured and almost annihilated on the spot.
The housekeeper's resentment grew even stronger, but when he saw his body becoming vaguely visible, he no longer had the desire to retaliate.
Like the butler, many spirits were fearful and did not dare to take any other actions for the time being.
After a while, the turmoil in the meditation room of Xunmu Tower subsided.
"Ivan, are you okay?" The Queen Silkworm had a keen sense and hurried over after noticing the unusual movement.
"It's just those spirits causing trouble. The problem has been solved." Ivan waved his hand to the side, and all the blockades were released, and the snow-white cocoon floated over.
The cocoon of life and death was not affected.
Delay would lead to unexpected events. He realized that the Cocoon of Life and Death must be dealt with quickly to avoid any unexpected problems.
"Ivan, are you afraid of losing it? Why don't you give it to me for safekeeping?" Seeing that he frowned slightly, the Queen Silkworm thought for a moment and made a suggestion.
"Then you try it." Ivan understood what the Silkworm Queen meant. He wanted to place it in the insect nest space, but the cocoon of life and death was actually alive, and it was almost impossible to hide it in the insect nest space.
Seeing that the silkworm queen was eager to help, he did not refuse.
"Okay, leave it here with me and it won't be lost unless you take it from my corpse." The Queen Silkworm made the promise firmly.
Ivan looked at the silkworm queen with amusement, and the next second, his smile froze.
"What's wrong?" The Queen Silkworm skillfully hid the cocoon of life and death in the insect nest space. Seeing that he looked strange, she couldn't help but ask nervously.
"I thought it couldn't fit in, but it seems I was wrong." Ivan said as he thought.
This is indeed strange. The space in the queen silkworm's nest clearly cannot accommodate other living things. Could it be that there is also a silkworm hidden inside the cocoon of life and death?
how is this possible.
He shook his head slightly, putting the thought behind him, and could only attribute it to the magic of the cocoon of life and death.
It seems that I have to find relevant information about the Cocoon of Life and Death as soon as possible.
Early the next morning, Ivan rushed to the Vernon Millennium Archives to continue looking up information about the Cocoon of Life and Death.
He continued searching on the third day. His hard work paid off and after half a day, he finally found something.
"It's just like what I sensed before. The life and death cocoon is like a blank sheet of paper. It can be cultivated in many directions."
"In terms of attributes, the Life and Death Cocoon is more spiritual, and can be nourished with various rich auras and powers, including one's own. The aura can determine the direction of cultivation, and the same source of power can accelerate the growth process."
In this vast amount of information, Ivan followed the clues and finally obtained the specific cultivation method of the cocoon of life and death. According to the above records, this was a very laborious process.
He was not in a hurry to leave the archives, as he had already started thinking about a more detailed training plan.
"Aura? I wonder if it can be cultivated in the direction of space."
It was almost time for the Millennium Archives to close when Ivan came out and asked Ze Yi to take him back to his residence.
Just after returning to Xunmu Tower, the Queen Silkworm suddenly discovered something. She suddenly jumped into the air and stood there in a daze. She mechanically turned her head to look at Ivan, but didn't know how to start talking.
"Tell me, what trouble have you gotten into?" How could Ivan not understand? Seeing its different appearance from usual, he almost laughed out loud.
"That's right - that's right. Alas! The cocoon you left with me two days ago is not as white as before. I don't know what happened. I don't know if it will affect your secret method of splitting yourself into two." The Queen Silkworm looked dejected and sighed as she explained the reason.
"I see." Ivan immediately thought of the word 'aura', which he himself had not expected: "Don't worry, take it out and show it to me."
The Queen Silkworm took out the cocoon of life and death as instructed.
At first glance, the cocoon is still snow-white, but if you look closely, you will find a few light green silk threads on it.
"What's going on? Is there any way to remedy the situation?" asked the Queen Silkworm anxiously.
"It's just a few silk threads. The impact shouldn't be that big." Ivan said after thinking it over.
"It does have an impact." The Queen Silkworm felt very upset that she had done more harm than good, and she wrote all her thoughts on her anthropomorphic face.
Ivan saw it all, his eyes constantly moving between the cocoon of life and death and the queen silkworm. An idea came to his mind, and as he thought deeply about it, it slowly became clear.
"Ivan, I'll do anything to remedy the situation." After a moment, seeing that he had finished his contemplation, the Silkworm Queen, who had realized something, said confidently.
"Queen Silkworm, let me ask you, are you willing to cultivate a new king for your tribe at the expense of your own origin?" Ivan hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.
"Yes, of course." The Queen Silkworm's eyes lit up after hearing this. She knew that the Cocoon of Life and Death would turn into Ivan's clone. It would be exciting to think about incorporating it into the Swift Wood Silkworm clan.
It knew that as Ivan's strength continued to grow, more and more creatures would inevitably attach themselves to him, just like the big black guy that had suddenly appeared before.
If we really compare them, the strength of the black big guy's tribe actually exceeds that of the Swift Wood Silkworm tribe, which makes the Silkworm Queen feel a sense of crisis.
If the Swift Wood Silkworm Clan has Ivan's clone, who can replace the Swift Wood Silkworm Clan's position from now on?
As for the loss of the origin, the Silkworm Queen firmly believed that with Ivan, it would be restored sooner or later, and then the Swiftwood Silkworm Clan would further prosper. The Queen was smart!
"Okay, wait until I have thought about the details, and then I will ask for cooperation from your Swiftwood Silkworm Clan." Ivan saw the Silkworm Queen's determination and did not ask any more questions.
He still didn't know enough about the cocoon of life and death, so he could only cross the river by feeling his way forward.
At this point, he couldn't stand still.
Two days later, Ivan began to cultivate his first clone, using the secret method of 'Trinity' to refine the cocoon of life and death into his own clone.
Time flies, and before I knew it a month had passed.
That set of 'Wind Whispering Cindy' had already been consumed, and his promotion power increased from 116.2 scales to 121.9 scales. After the third 'Wind Whispering Cindy' potion, it was further increased to 124.5 scales.
His mental power was more than half liquefied. It was not difficult to see that the effect of the mental power potion decayed quickly, and the efficiency improvement was far lower than when he was still a first-level wizard.
Ivan knew clearly that he needed a more stimulating method, or a method that better suits him.
Not to mention the growth of mental strength.
These days, his attention is more focused on the cocoon of life and death.
The number of secret clones is limited, so he can't help but be nervous.
"Being cultivated from scratch, this animal has strong adaptability. It directly skipped the initial adaptation stage and entered the state of flesh and blood rotation." He murmured in a low voice.
So far, the cultivation of the life and death cocoon has been going smoothly, so smoothly that it has exceeded his expectations.
However, the Swift Wood Silkworm clan suffered, especially the queen silkworm, who needed to constantly give her breath and strength to continuously nourish the cocoon of life and death.
On this point, the Silkworm Queen was not stingy at all and even gave away part of her own origin and kingly power.
If Ivan hadn't stopped her, the Silkworm Queen would have taken out everything she had.
Ivan himself did not just watch. He transferred the spell 'Blackbeard Crown' that he had practiced for a long time, as well as the aura and power of many black beard music movements, part of his spiritual power, and part of his life force, to the Life and Death Cocoon one by one.
Such training can be said to have spared no effort.
At this point, the snow-white color of the cocoon of life and death turned into colorful colors including blue, black, gold, white, etc., with various patterns intertwined together.
The aura within the cocoon of life and death became increasingly powerful.
Not long after, the cocoon of life and death opened with a slight sound. In an instant, energy particles became chaotic and the surroundings became colorful and hazy.
"There was a thunder in the chaos, and today I know who I am."
Before anyone could be seen, a loud voice was heard.
Ivan had clearly sensed something, and when he heard these words that came from his heart, the expression on his face was very interesting. It seemed that this clone was a little bit childish.
"Hello, nice to meet you. Please take care of me." When the surroundings returned to calm, he gritted his teeth and greeted the newly appeared figure with some embarrassment in his eyes.
Judging from the appearance, this person can only be regarded as a humanoid creature.
The whole person looked a little thin, about ten centimeters shorter than Iven himself, with three pairs of cyan wings with clear white space patterns on them, and a pair of palm-high cyan tentacles on his head with a small black-gold crown in the middle of the tentacles.
He looks about 70% similar to Ivan.
"King, the king of our tribe has been born." The severely damaged Silkworm Queen murmured, staring at him with shining eyes.
"Oh, Queen Silkworm, thank you and the little ones for your hard work." The clone gained wisdom during the gestation process, and Ivan took the opportunity to give him some common sense. Since then, he has understood many things around him and knows that the Swift Wood Silkworm clan has done a lot for him.
Look, the Queen Silkworm’s strength has been reduced from level three to level two. Her strength has been greatly reduced, and her potential has also been greatly reduced.
Like Feng Moth, Xiang Die and others, although their strength has not been reduced, they all look listless.
However, the efforts of the Swift Wood Silkworm clan were not in vain. The clone was born as their king and a member of the Swift Wood Silkworm clan. With the voluntary promotion of the Queen Silkworm, his status was slightly higher than that of the second half of the Silkworm clan.
Of course, he is a complex character and is not just a member of the Swift Wood Silkworm.
"Do you need me to give you a code name?" Ivan said at the right time.
"If you don't mind, I will follow the Silkworm Queen. Please call me 'Silkworm King'." The clone said seriously, which made the Silkworm Queen even more excited.
"Your name is 'Locke', and your nickname is 'Silkworm King'. It's decided." Seeing his middle school mentality that could not be concealed, Ivan decided to make the final decision and casually gave the clone a name.
"You have the final say." Locke nodded.
Since the clone takes the original body as the master, he naturally has no objection.
When the secret clone is first formed, it needs to go through four stages: adaptability, rotation of flesh and blood, rotation of soul, and symbiosis and immortality.
Ivan could clearly sense that he and Locke had jumped to the third stage - Soul Rotation.
In this way, if he is seriously injured, he can use Locke's clone to repair his body and also repair minor mental injuries.
Only by achieving 'symbiotic immortality' and cultivating to the fourth level, can one achieve 'immortality of the clone and immortality of the wizard'.
Even so, his survivability has now been greatly improved.
