Chapter 862: 446 Avatar_3
The tide roars, vast and magnificent.
Tingchao Dock is built beside the lake, and the entire lake is under its domain.
The four injured were taken to the clinic for treatment.
Soon, Li Xingluo woke up. Although he looked miserable, he was actually the least injured among the four.
Not long after, Li Xingluo walked out of the clinic.
Looking around, there’s a mountain beside the lake. Tingchao Dock follows the river and is built along the mountain, with many tall stilt houses and many carved cave mansions.
Li Xingluo wandered around by himself and unknowingly circled near the main entrance.
At this moment, a big black dog suddenly rushed out and landed beside him.
Li Xingluo said nothing, turned around and walked back, the big black dog quietly followed, its eyes spun around, cautiously observing the surroundings.
Soon, the man and the dog climbed the steps and arrived in front of a cave mansion.
This is Li Xingluo’s cave mansion.
After all, he is a true disciple of Tingchao Dock, only twenty-three years old, and his cultivation has reached the mid stage of the Returning to Void Realm.
Li Xingluo took out a white jade token, opened the protective array, and walked in.
The inside of the cave mansion isn’t very spacious, divided into two rooms, one for living and one for seclusion and cultivation purposes.
“Hoo~”
Li Xingluo exhaled a foul breath, his lips curled up involuntarily, muttering to himself: “Didn’t expect it’d be so easy to sneak in.”
The big black dog was shocked, transmitted mentally: “The golden blood river is amazing, absorbed Li Xingluo’s blood, and took away all he had. You took his place, and no one can detect that you’re fake.”
Li Xingluo is already gone.
The current Li Xingluo is Fang Zhixing.
“Come, let me show you something good…”
Fang Zhixing walked through the living room and opened the door of the seclusion and cultivation room.
Xigou followed over, poked his head inside.
Only to see the second room is a secret chamber, very empty inside, with just a large bed.
Upon closer inspection, you’d find the bed seems to be a whole piece of beautiful jade, crystal clear, splendid and magnificent.
The surface of the jade bed is carved with golden patterns, resembling electronic circuit designs.
Fang Zhixing stepped forward, smacked his lips: “I looked through Li Xingluo’s memories, guess what this bed is called?”
Xigou blinked: “This bed is full of immortal energy, could it be…”
Before he could finish, Fang Zhixing directly lay down on it.
Buzz!
The jade bed emitted a great light, and all the patterns on its surface lit up, radiating golden brilliance.
In the next instant, a light screen popped out, appearing in front of Fang Zhixing.
On the light screen were several icons, labeled with text.
“Moonless Grotto Heaven”
“Red Sun Grotto Heaven”
“Hundred Beast Grotto Heaven”
…
Seems like each icon corresponds to a pocket world.
Fang Zhixing remained lying still, verbally commanded: “Please introduce the usage of the grotto heaven system.”
The light screen blurred a bit, began to play a scene accompanied by a voice introduction.
In the scene, a beautiful girl walked to the jade bed and lay down.
She slid her fingers across the light screen, randomly selecting a grotto heaven.
Then, the scene shifted, popping out several dialog boxes.
Please choose the method to enter the grotto heaven:
[1, Projection Mode]
“Projection mode allows your projection to enter the pocket world, freely exploring within, attempting various limitless ventures.
For instance, modifying your cultivation technique, or researching different alchemy methods, testing medicine on oneself, assessing effects, etc.
No matter how many times you fail in the grotto heaven world, it won’t harm your body.”
[2, Blood-Drop Mode]
“In blood-drop mode, you’ll create an ‘avatar’ to enter the pocket world.
Your avatar is tied to your fate. When the avatar makes progress in cultivation, you’ll share the cultivation achievements.
But if your avatar dies, you’ll also suffer certain harm.”
“Additionally, the avatar has an independent personality. If it discovers it’s just a manipulated puppet, it’ll definitely resist fiercely, using every means to escape your control.
Therefore, it’s not advisable to grant the avatar all your memories. The best approach is to conduct spiritual hypnosis and psychological suggestions on the avatar.”
“Also, in blood-drop mode, it’s necessary to accept the ‘ring’. The avatar must follow the ‘ring’s’ issued instructions, performing various tasks like clearing evil intrusions in the grotto heaven.”
“Whoa!” Xigou was stunned by this, unbelievably amazed.
The Heavenly People avatars on the fifth layer were really things made by cultivators on the third layer.
“This thing is black magic technology!” Xigou clicked his tongue in disbelief.
Fang Zhixing deeply agreed, nodded: “The pinnacle of technology is Immortal Cultivation. Upper Heaven World’s technological level far exceeds Emperor Level Mechanical God.”
As they spoke, the light screen returned to the first page.
Fang Zhixing opened the “Golden Crow Cave Heaven.”
The scene on the screen changed, displaying a hand, adorned with a ring, holding a book.
Then, another hand appeared on the screen, flipping through the pages.
Afterwards, the hand turned to the screen, performing a nose-picking gesture.
Only then did Xigou realize that this scene was in someone’s first-person perspective.
Soon, the person in the scene put down the book, got up and walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea.
During this time, the person turned and looked at a bronze mirror, instantly reflecting Li Xingluo’s face.
“He’s Li Xingluo’s avatar!” Xigou came to a realization.
Fang Zhixing nodded: “Li Xingluo chose the blood-drop mode, his avatar is cultivating in the Golden Crow Cave Heaven.”
Xigou couldn’t help but ask: “Can you manipulate this avatar?”
“Yes!”
Fang Zhixing nodded, “The control of the avatar’s body can be seized, manipulated anytime, anywhere by the master. Moreover, while being manipulated, the avatar won’t remember anything.
It’s just like possession!
And the avatar, under spiritual hypnosis, would only think it’s willingly being controlled.
However, the master would consume a lot of energy when controlling the avatar, so usually, this won’t be done.”
