This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

But this matter can only be accomplished by them; even if the other Seven Great Holy Demon Clans had the same patience, they would still be left lamenting.

——There are plenty of clever people among the Human Race, and to quietly and unobtrusively take control of a Taoist Sect is no easy task.

They rely solely on their Bloodline Divine Ability to achieve their current status.

In other words, though one might say it's a meticulously contrived plan, at its core, it's still a meal gifted by providence.

The Heart Demon clan possesses two Innate Divine Abilities:

Soul Mastery and Control Fate.

However, what specific abilities these two Innate Divine Abilities entail, no one knows.

Not to mention the Human Race, even other Demon Races in the Abyss outside of the Heart Demon clan are similarly unaware of the specific effects of these two Innate Divine Abilities, knowing only their names.

This is entirely due to the Heart Demon clan's unbreaking silence, never revealing their abilities before outsiders.

As long as they don't demonstrate these abilities or speak of them, others will never pry any information from them.

After all, they are Heart Demons!

As for the Rinsing Spirit Sect, this invaluable pawn was acquired through their Soul Mastery Divine Ability.

The so-called Soul Mastery, put simply, is cloning.

However, the Heart Demon clan's cloning ability is particularly unique.

Firstly, pureblood Heart Demon clan members are born with one body and three souls.

Each soul can command one clone.

In other words, any Heart Demon can have three clones.

Whereas in the Cultivation Realm, the cloning technique typically produces only one clone.

In terms of numbers, Soul Mastery completely outmatches the cloning techniques of Human Cultivators.

Moreover, Soul Mastery has a special and sinister trait, enabling them to silently have the Rinsing Spirit Sect firmly within their grasp.

Which is that the cloning method of Soul Mastery is akin to Spirit Possession's "Soul Exchange"!

The Human Cultivator's cloning technique generally involves personally refining a physical body, then splitting off a wisp of soul to inhabit this shell.

But Soul Mastery can directly seize a physical body.

No matter the race, as long as it is a living entity, the Heart Demon clan can use the Soul Mastery technique to seize its physical body.

Once they seize a living entity's physical body through this method, the Heart Demons can inherit everything from that being, including cultivation, magic artifacts, physical body realm, etc.

Even the Primordial Spirit can be inherited!

In other words, aside from the soul, nothing else has changed.

From the perspective of aura and appearance, outsiders will definitely not detect any flaws.

Of course, this method is not without its limitations.

First, the soul of the living entity they wish to exchange cannot surpass the realm of the main body, otherwise, the Soul Exchange will not succeed.

Furthermore, the cultivation of the three souls cannot surpass the cultivation of the main Heart Demon body.

Secondly, even the Heart Demon clan finds it difficult to multitask, let alone manage three tasks or even four simultaneously.

If they attempt to control three clones and their main body with one consciousness all at once, they inevitably face cognitive chaos.

Especially when all three clones engage in battle at once, they cannot manage them simultaneously.

Therefore, most of the time, they sever the connection between the main body and the three souls, allowing each soul to act on its consciousness autonomously.

Then, at intervals, the main body conducts a soul return to understand what has transpired with the three souls during that time.

The third, and most crucial limitation is the relationship between the Heart Demon clan's main body and the three souls, similar to the connection between a heart and other organs.

If the heart stops beating, the other organs, no matter how healthy, cease functioning.

For the Heart Demon clan, the fall of the three souls has no impact on the main body.

But once the main body dies, the three souls instantly follow suit.

Thus, battling the Heart Demon clan seems like facing four opponents at worst, but once you identify the location of their main body and destroy it, the rest will follow.

Unfortunately, the Heart Demon clan, specializing in the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit, appears frailer in physical strength compared to other Demon Races.

Additionally, as their Bloodline Divine Abilities in Soul Mastery and Control Fate offer no enhancement to their combat strength, it's common among the Heart Demon clan for the combat power of souls to surpass that of the main body.

The most vital main body is actually the weakest in combat.

Once the main body dies, no matter how powerful the souls are, they will perish with it.

This is why the Heart Demon clan dare not expose the effects of their Bloodline Divine Abilities.

.....

Yun Xuan Daoist shook his head, retracting his drifting thoughts.

A tough battle lies ahead.

Because the Black Cloud Mountain before him is Heavenly Secret Pavillion's territory.

Unlike the openness of Xia State's State City, the Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation of Heavenly Secret Pavillion is not open to outsiders, and Black Cloud Mountain is even more sealed off, never allowing outsiders to enter.

So Rinsing Spirit Sect cultivators cannot infiltrate Black Cloud Mountain as they did in Xia State City, waiting for the opportune moment to suddenly destroy the array.

They can only forcibly assault the mountain, aiming to obliterate all Heavenly Secret Pavillion cultivators within Black Cloud Mountain while destroying the array.

......

The Cross-Domain Teleportation Formation is indeed costly, but in reality, not many would covet such an item.

Just as everyone knows high-speed trains are valuable, one never hears of robbers targeting them; they usually target banks instead.

Therefore, within the Central Spirit Domain, Heavenly Secret Pavillion's defensive strength at its treasury has always exceeded that of Black Cloud Mountain.

Nevertheless, for something so significant, even if the Taoist Sect's defenses are weaker, they couldn't possibly be too weak, could they?
