Chapter 1645: Chapter 375: The Fourth

Ling Xi instinctively wanted to support her master, but as soon as her palm touched him, a terrifying force surged out. The power was so immense that even she couldn’t withstand it and was instantly flung back, crashing heavily into the wall of the Hall of Infinity Doors behind her.

“Ling Xi?”

“Senior Sister, Master? What’s wrong with you?”

The surrounding crowd immediately noticed something was wrong and turned their gazes over.

“I… I’m fine. You all stay here for now, I’ll handle it…”

Cao Zhen quickly turned his head and flew towards a distant room, feeling the power within him growing stronger, as if it was about to erupt.

If this continued, he felt like the power inside him would burst him apart!

And just when Ling Xi touched him, he felt as if his power found an outlet to discharge, and a part of it poured out instantly.

It discharged uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Ling Xi was blown away, otherwise, he felt that all of his power could have been fully transferred into Ling Xi, and she would likely explode instantly.

“Discharge the power… I can create another clone and channel the excess power into the clone.”

Currently, the only solution he could think of was a clone.

Because there were too many people outside, and not all of them were from the Hundred Peaks Sect, so he had to find a place.

“It’s just a pity that this power will probably go to waste!”

Cao Zhen sighed, and with a thought, one of his hidden clones exploded violently.

This clone was equivalent to the early period of the Longevity Period, and its self-destruction left his main body somewhat unable to bear it, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

But feeling the turbulence inside, he ignored everything else, quickly gathered his immortal power, and started to form a new clone. Instantly, a flow of Era Prosperity Power, generated by the transformation of Hundred Peaks Sect into a Great Teaching, found its outlet and rushed towards the clone in front of him.

The clone in front of him became more and more solid.

“This isn’t right, something’s wrong!”

Gradually, Cao Zhen noticed that something was off; he could only condense two clones himself, and each had only the power of the early Longevity Period. But now, his clone’s power reached mid Longevity Period levels, yet the Age of Prosperity Qi inside him kept surging in.

In the blink of an eye, the clone’s power had reached the Peak of the Longevity Period, but the Age of Prosperity Qi was still flooding in.

Cao Zhen’s face slowly showed a trace of joy.

“Previously, I thought as long as I found a place to release this power, it would work. I could create clones, but each clone only had the power of the early Longevity Period, requiring self-destruction of one clone after another to continue.”

That inevitably meant wasting some power.

But now, it seemed I don’t need to do that anymore, this clone’s power… is so strong, it’s about to reach the peak limit of the Longevity Period!”

Finally, when the clone reached the peak limit of the Longevity Period, it was completed, and at the same time, the newly generated Age of Prosperity Qi in him disappeared completely.

“The peak limit of the Longevity Period? Now I have another clone at the peak limit?”

Cao Zhen looked at his clone, momentarily stunned, so after the breakthrough of Hundred Peaks Sect into a Great Teaching, his Age of Prosperity Qi increased so much, inexplicably adding another power equivalent to the peak limit of the Longevity Period.

But my clone was supposed to only have the power of the early Longevity Period, how could it keep increasing to the peak limit?

“Could it also be because Hundred Peaks Sect became a Great Teaching, and the power emerged in line with the Heavenly Dao? So it can keep upgrading? Actually, figuring it out wouldn’t be difficult, just experiment with another clone. But now’s not the time.”

The Hundred Peaks Sect had just become a Great Teaching, and there were many affairs that needed his attention.

He quickly flew out of the room.

In Ascension Peak, everyone looked at the room Cao Zhen entered with confusion, filled with doubt and puzzlement, wondering why Cao Zhen suddenly behaved like that?

It felt as if he had a problem in cultivation, being counterattacked?

But the problem was, Cao Zhen had been facing his Heavenly Tribulation, and he wasn’t cultivating, so how could it backfire?

Moreover, he, a reincarnated great ability, was just in the Longevity Period now and shouldn’t suffer a backlash.

As everyone was bewilderedly considering this, suddenly, Cao Zhen reappeared.

Immortal Bi Yue, Li Ke, and the disciples of Four Treasures Peak immediately approached with concern and inquiries.

“Master? What happened to you?”

“Blood? Master, you coughed blood?”

“Master, you…”

Cao Zhen waved his hand towards them, saying: “No need to worry. I am fine. Just now, I felt an insight during the Hundred Peaks Sect’s Heavenly Tribulation, and had signs of a breakthrough. But now, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t allow power beyond the Longevity Period, so it suppressed my power, causing a backlash.”

“Fortunately, I’ve managed to suppress that power now.”

“I see.”

“It’s good that Master has suppressed the power.”

The surrounding people understandingly nodded.

Li Ke quietly transmitted her voice to Cao Zhen: “What’s really going on with you? Don’t try to deceive me with those words you tell others.” She was the only one who knew that Cao Zhen was not a reincarnated great ability.
