In the Barbarian Bone Mountains, in a stronghold in the core area, in a special confinement room where the floor, four sides, and ceiling were carved with dense rune arrays, Jiang Yan was sitting on a soft and comfortable futon, his eyes closed, and the long rise and fall of his chest showed that he was in a state of deep meditation.

This room was not a Juyuan cultivation room, and the runic arrays depicted in the room did not have the purpose of promoting cultivation, but instead looked very similar to the one that Hei Xuan had originally stayed in before, except that there was no seal lock hanging in mid-air.

Suddenly, the void in the center of the confinement room above Jiang Yan's head fluctuated, and then a silver stream of data seemed to come out of the void as if it had come out of the water, and it suddenly sank directly into Jiang Yan's body from the top of his head.

The next moment, Jiang Yan's eyelids twitched slightly, and when he opened them, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and twisted his body joints, as if recalling his body's senses.

"Hu ......" recalled the body that had just exploded on the border battlefield of the Yuan Kingdom not long ago, and Jiang Yan had a touch of emotion in his eyes: "It's the first time that I have continued to use a cloning stand-in for such a long time, and I am really a little unaccustomed to suddenly switching back to the main body. ”

Yes, "clone double".

The 'Jiang Yan' who appeared on the border battlefield of the Yuan Kingdom just now was actually not his body, but a clone that had been cultivated with Jiang Yan's flesh and blood samples in the past half a month and was quickly spawned by means of rune technology.

In the usual world of science and technology, clones are not uncommon, and there are many side effects, even if they are changed to Jiang Yan's side to use rune technology, various spell methods and a large number of miraculous heavenly treasures to make up for it, it only solves part of the side effects, and the most critical Shouyuan problem still exists.

For this reason, a large amount of red jade blood crystals are also consumed to make a culture liquid rich in life energy.

If you follow the normal process and spend several years or even more than ten years slowly cultivating, this cloned body may really be able to grow to the point where it is no different from a normal person or even better.

But because the time is too short, the clone body that spawned this time has not had time to sprout self-consciousness and soul, it is just an empty shell like a vegetative person, and its lifespan is extremely short.

According to the calculations of Zhi Brain and the estimation of the R&D grouping machine, even if he does nothing, the initial lifespan of Jiang Yan's clone stand-in is only about ten years.

And in order to allow the clone stand-in to withstand his own Shenyuan cultivation, Jiang Yan also installed a lot of body-strengthening software on it after possessing it, "Blood Meridian", "Great Zhou Tianjue", "Self-regeneration", ...... One by one, the software was installed, and its longevity was directly squeezed again, shortening it to only five or six months. The normal activity time limit is only three months, and after that, various symptoms such as cell failure will occur.

However, it is suitable to be used as a stand-in for participating in a war that is known to be of great danger.

"Although it's a clone of yourself, it's still not as comfortable as your real body. Jiang Yan reflected on the feeling of being possessed by the clone and muttered to himself.

His mind moved: "Brain, order to go down, destroy all the remaining clones of 'me' and the records of genetic data, and destroy the blood samples, leaving only one sample to be resealed at the highest clearance level." ”

"Yes. Zhi Brain replied faithfully, conveying Jiang Yan's order through the Internet.

Jiang Yan thinks that cloning this thing can be used as an emergency measure, since the goal has been achieved, and good test data has been obtained, the remaining clones do not need to be kept, so as not to have accidents, although Jiang Yan ordered the experimenters to use seals and prohibitions to continuously inhibit the birth of the clone's self-consciousness when cultivating, and also instructed the brain to monitor the condition of each clone around the clock, but who knows if there will be a case.

After giving these orders, Jiang Yan calmed down, thinking back to the brief contact with the Star Luo Venerable Lord (clone) just now, and couldn't help but be glad that he was still good at using the main body.

"It's worthy of a fourth-level power that has mastered the power of the realm, even if it's just a clone, it's not something I can resist at all. If it weren't for the containment of the Heavenly Providence Thunder to make the opponent's domain unstable, this part of my true spirit would really not be so easy to break through the blockade of the domain and escape back......"

Looking up at the position where the true spirit shuttled back just now, Jiang Yan touched his chin: "The bait has been sown, and now it depends on whether the other party can take the bait." But until then...... Zhi Brain, the monitoring level in the stronghold is the highest, don't let go of every corner, especially pay attention to any changes in the space!"

"Yes. 』

Jiang Yan continued to speak, and began to raise his hand to draw runes in the void, drawing three-dimensional Dao formations.

"Also, monitoring elsewhere can't be relaxed, after all, we can't guarantee that the target will be hooked. ”

"Yes. 』

Looking at the densely packed Dao array in front of him, like a spider web covering the air in the room, Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction, and with precise control, his aura disappeared, covering up the fluctuations of the Yuan Force revealed on it, and then he took a deep breath, his eyes revealed a hint of expectation, and began to wait silently.

The closed room fell silent, and the minutes passed.

didn't let him wait too long, about a minute later, Jiang Yan's expression suddenly moved, and he looked up.

"—Sure enough, it's coming!"

Seeing that Jiang Yan's gaze was looking at the place where his true spirit shuttled back in mid-air just now, the space suddenly rippled in circles, and then suddenly shook slightly, and a small black dot appeared in the center of the vibration, and suddenly expanded into a deep black void more than a foot wide.

A red aura burst out of the cave in an instant.

"Hey, I've been waiting for a long time!" Jiang Yan smiled happily when he saw the red spirit bead flying out of the cave and the scene of the spatial hole disappearing rapidly in the next moment.

Without waiting for his reaction, Jiang Yan raised his hand and gently played in the void like a play.

Hum - Countless rune array Dao arrays appeared in mid-air, and the spells that had already been accumulated in it all exploded at this moment, turning into countless energy bombardments that bombarded the red spirit beads from all directions, and each spell had a third-level level.

【What?!】The red spirit bead shook, and the will of the Star Luo Venerable Lord inside let out a stunned exclamation.

But in the end, he was a fourth-level powerhouse, and his reaction speed was not covered.

[It turned out to be a trap? This is indeed unexpected, but boy, you must be too underestimating me!]

The Spirit Bead clone of the Star Luo Venerable Lord sneered, and saw a flash of red light skyrocket, and the Spirit Bead turned into a three-inch villain with clear facial features, and he opened his mouth and shouted angrily, and a powerful impact of thoughts suddenly spread.

All the Dao techniques that came over were swept away by this impact, and they all froze slightly.

Even Jiang Yan himself, when he was swept away by this impact, his mind was in a trance as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and his eyes were confused.

Seeing this opportunity, the Star Luo Venerable Lord (clone) suddenly dodged, bypassed the gap between these Dao techniques with great flexibility, and rushed towards Jiang Yan's side.

[Boy, this is your body, right?
