#334 - Xu Ming, look

Chapter 334: Xu Ming, look…

[Detected Host in a duel against Hongxiu, and has gained recognition from the Ancient Sword Spirit Hongxiu. Sword Qi +200, Sword Intent +200, Sword Technique Fusion +200, Skill "Shadow Split."]

Shadow Split: After casting, creates a clone with 80% of the Host's strength, lasting for one hour, usable once every three days.

[Detected Host has obtained the Ancient Divine Weapon - Hongxiu, achieving the accomplishment "Ancient Divine Weapon User," gaining the passive skill - "Divine Weapon Affinity."]

Divine Weapon Affinity: When the Host uses Ancient Divine Weapons, regardless of type, adaptability increases by 10%, and power increases by 10%.

Sitting inside the cave, Xu Ming, who was adjusting his breathing, heard the system's voice again in his mind.

Xu Ming felt that the system would give a lot of rewards this time, and it really did.

After all, this time could be considered an escape from death.

If it didn't give any items or skill rewards, and only gave attribute points, that would really be unreasonable.

Although the Shadow Split technique can only create one clone, and this clone only has 80% of his strength, it will definitely be very useful in critical moments.

He could even use this shadow clone to create a smokescreen or perform a substitution trick.

Moreover, as his realm and strength increase, the strength of his clone will also become stronger, and its usefulness will also increase.

Just imagine, if he reached the Ascension Realm, and the shadow clone had 80% of his strength, it should also have the strength of the Ascension Realm.

When he fights with other cultivators, and the shadow clone comes out, forming a 2-on-1 situation, the opponent might directly despair.

As for "Divine Weapon Affinity," that's even more significant.

He had heard that even if you obtain a Divine Weapon, you might not be able to use it.

Because as long as it's a Divine Weapon-level existence, it will have a weapon spirit.

And weapon spirits all have their own personalities.

Not every weapon spirit can be easily controlled.

If you don't get the weapon spirit's approval, then the Divine Weapon in your hands, not to say it's like scrap metal, can only be said to be like a large piece of gold, you can use it to sell for money, but it's useless to you.

And this is even more true for Ancient Divine Weapons.

Ancient Divine Weapons that have lived for so long must have more eccentric tempers than ordinary Divine Weapons.

And this 10% affinity is actually like increasing the Divine Weapon's impression of you, which you can then control.

As for increasing the Divine Weapon's power by 10%, that goes without saying.

This kind of passive BUFF is simply top-notch, and much more important than ordinary treasures.

As for Xu Ming, he obtained the Ancient Divine Weapon "Hongxiu" and also gained its recognition.

But the embarrassing thing is that Xu Ming's strength is not enough.

Xu Ming's current realm can only use Hongxiu as an ordinary sharp weapon. If Xu Ming wants to unleash part of Hongxiu's strength, he needs to reach the Core Formation Realm at least.

If he wants to unleash Hongxiu's true strength, he needs to reach the Jade Purity Realm at least.

Perhaps even the Jade Purity Realm may not be able to fully unleash Hongxiu's strength, after all, this is an Ancient Divine Weapon, not just a simple Immortal Weapon.

Of course, if Xu Ming doesn't use Hongxiu, he can let Hongxiu act on its own, but the problem is that Hongxiu is now in a dormant state, and it's unknown when it will wake up.

And after Hongxiu wakes up, Xu Ming still has to ask if it agrees to be his Natal Flying Sword.

Only when a sword becomes a cultivator's Natal Flying Sword can it achieve a "one plus one is greater than two" effect.

But no matter what, this trip to the Rootless Secret Realm has really been full of gains.

Xu Ming originally thought that being able to obtain the Rootless Secret Realm's main fruit would be enough.

As a result, he obtained even more things later.

Of course, in the Samadhi Cave, he almost died.

Feeling that he had almost finished adjusting his breathing, Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes and saw Shi Xin roasting corn not far away.

Xu Ming actually wanted to eat grilled meat.

But Shi Xin would definitely not make meat for Xu Ming, only vegetarian food.

"Forget it, eating vegetarian food occasionally is okay, it's like clearing my stomach."

Xu Ming comforted himself and sat down next to Shi Xin.

Shi Xin glanced at Xu Ming next to him, then retracted his gaze and continued to roast the corn seriously.

"Here you go."

After roasting two corns, Shi Xin stretched out his arm and handed the corn to Xu Ming.

"Thanks."

Xu Ming took the corn and took a bite.

Hmm.

Just ordinary roasted corn.

There was no salt, and it was even roasted a little conservatively, as if afraid of burning it. Little did he know that corn is best when it's roasted a little burnt.

"Is it delicious?" Shi Xin asked.

Xu Ming originally wanted to tell the truth, but when Xu Ming saw Shi Xin's expectant look, Xu Ming was a little embarrassed to say it.

"It's quite delicious," Xu Ming said insincerely.

"That's good," Shi Xin nodded.

Xu Ming continued to take a few bites, thinking that he should cook for himself in the future.

After eating the corn, Xu Ming wanted to rest well, and Shi Xin was also sitting next to Xu Ming, knocking on a wooden fish and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Shi Xin does that every day, it should be their Leiming Temple's evening prayer before bed.

It has to be said that Shi Xin is indeed very disciplined. Even in the Rootless Secret Realm, without anyone urging him, Shi Xin would not forget his homework.

However, before doing his evening prayer, Shi Xin took out the Chaos from his storage bag.

Unless it's a very special storage bag, storage bags cannot hold living things.

The reason why that Chaos could be put into the storage bag is because the storage bag in the private room was special.

Xu Ming remembered that this kind of storage bag was called "Qianyuan Bag," which can hold up to two living things at a time, but can only hold them for a maximum of six hours a day.

So at night, Shi Xin would take out the Chaos to air it out.

Of course, Shi Xin probably had another purpose, which was to give this Chaos "prenatal education," so that it would be devoted to Buddhism before it even woke up.

And then teach it well after it's born, to be kind.

It can be said that he's starting from a young age.

Xu Ming closed his eyes, listening to Shi Xin's chanting and the sound of the wooden fish, and slowly wanted to sleep.

To be honest, Shi Xin's chanting and the sound of the wooden fish were quite hypnotic.

Before long, Xu Ming really fell asleep.

Xu Ming didn't know how long he had slept.

Until Xu Ming felt his clothes being pulled.

Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes and saw Shi Xin's eyes, which were somewhat excited and somewhat expectant.

"Xu Ming, look."

Shi Xin pointed to the Chaos placed on the grass cushion.

At this time, the film covering the Chaos's body had already broken open.
