He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 174 Shadow Clone Cultivation Method (Second Update)

Late at night, after Wanda fell asleep, Li Chuan went to the library in Kamar-Taj alone.

There are still six years until Doctor Strange joins Kamar-Taj, and Kaecilius has not yet betrayed them, so the librarian of Kamar-Taj is not yet the King, but another young sorcerer named Kaji.

Good evening, Venerable Li Chuan!

"Good evening, Mage Kaji. May I borrow some spellbooks?"

Li Chuan performed a Kamar-Taj sorcerer's salute.

Kaji laughed:

"Of course, you can borrow any of the other books besides the magic books on these two shelves."

Mordo had already informed them during the day that the newly joined mage, Li Chuan, was free to borrow all the magic books except those in the Ancient One's private bookshelf.

Thank you!

Li Chuan naturally knew that the two bookshelves that could not be borrowed contained extremely dangerous magic books that the Ancient One had kept privately, such as the ritual to summon Dormammu, time magic, and dark magic, etc.

However, he wasn't particularly interested in those magic books. He came to Kamar-Taj mainly to learn about the origins of the world and information about the demon gods of the various dimensions.

Any magic in Kamar-Taj requires an unequal lease agreement with the corresponding dimensional daemon, making it inconvenient to use no matter how powerful it is.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

After receiving confirmation from the administrator, Li Chuan immediately formed hand seals and created more than a hundred clones, who then began searching the library.

There are at least tens of thousands of books in the library. He doesn't know how long it would take to find them all by himself. Although his current shadow clone ability can only last for eight minutes, the more than one hundred shadow clones greatly improve his efficiency.

The duration of a shadow clone is related to the amount of chakra and the degree of control over the technique. For example, Sasuke's shadow clone can only last for one minute, Kakashi can last for five minutes, and Naruto can last for three days.

Li Chuan's current shadow clone can be maintained for eight minutes. If he transforms into his second form, with a significant increase in chakra, he can maintain it for about twenty minutes.

In fact, besides combat, the biggest function of shadow clones is to assist in cultivation, because all memories and experiences will return to the original body after the shadow clone disappears.

However, ordinary ninjas generally cannot use shadow clones for training, because in addition to memories and experience, the fatigue and various senses of the shadow clones will also return to the original body.

That's not the most important thing. There are many ninjas who can endure hardship and have strong willpower. The most important thing is the duration of the shadow clone.

For example, a normal ninja can only create seven or eight shadow clones, and each shadow clone lasts for only three or four minutes, so adding them together can save half an hour of time.

However, this depletes the body's chakra, requiring half a day to recover, making it a complete loss.

The reason Naruto can train with Shadow Clones is that he can create thousands of Shadow Clones at once, and each Shadow Clones can last for two or three days. It is true that one day of training is equivalent to several years of training for others.

Even if you need to rest for a day to recover afterwards, it's perfectly fine.

Li Chuan hasn't reached that level yet, but he does occasionally take time each day to cultivate using shadow clones, because under normal circumstances he can create a maximum of 120 shadow clones at a time, and around 300 in his second form.

In its second form, the shadow clones can be used for learning without fighting, and can be maintained for twenty minutes. Using three hundred shadow clones to learn at the same time can save the equivalent of about four days.

In other words, the efficiency of studying in these twenty minutes is the same as that of studying for four days. Afterwards, he only needs to endure the discomfort and recover for half a day.

Moreover, his second form is physically strong and has a strong recovery ability, so there is no need to worry about him dying suddenly from overwork.

The reason he was able to master several advanced ninjutsu he learned from Kakuzu and Orochimaru's soft body modification technique so quickly was because during the last period after leaving Hokage, he had been training with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

"The Form of Ekron!"

When the librarian, Kada, saw Li Chuan suddenly create more than a hundred clones, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The Shape of Ekorn is a very advanced form of magic in Kamar-Taj, and few sorcerers besides the Ancient One can master it. Its function is very similar to the shadow clone used by Li Chuan.

They can instantly create many physical clones to assist in combat.

Five minutes later, Li Chuan put away his shadow clone and placed eight books in front of Kada.

"Venerable Kada, I need to borrow these books."

"Okay, Master Li Chuan, I'll register it for you. Just remember to return it after you're done reading it."

Qatar nodded very politely.

No matter where you are, powerful beings are respected. Li Chuan's multiple shadow clone technique just now clearly earned Qatar's respect.

Li Chuan returned to his room with eight thick books, then took out a small box, opened it, and crawled inside.

This small box was the one he brought from the Naruto world. He used the Seamless Stretch Spell to expand its space and built a simple wooden hut inside to study ninjutsu and research magic.

"The Trinity of Vishanti", "The Origin of Earth", "The Fall of the Ancient Gods", "The Great Ancient Gods and Dimensional Demons".

Inside the wooden house, Li Chuan created shadow clones again, and each of them opened a book and began to read.

Two hours later, he closed the book, dispelled the shadow clone, closed his eyes, and began to organize everything he had learned from the eight books.

"So that's how it is!"

Slowly opening his eyes, he finally gained some understanding of those ancient gods and dimensional demons.

According to the Book of Kamar-Taj, at the beginning of the universe, many powerful life forms were born. They were born with all sorts of powerful abilities and could even cross dimensions to travel to other universes.

In the very beginning, a powerful ancient goddess was born on Earth, known as Gaia, the goddess of the earth and life.

Gaia nurtured all life on Earth and also gave birth to the second generation of ancient gods.

One of the ancient gods, Set, who controlled death and destruction and was also the origin of all reptiles on Earth, accidentally discovered that his power would increase dramatically after he ate his brother, another ancient god. Thus began his path of mad slaughter.

In this process, his power gradually increased, and he transformed into the first demon on Earth.

Seeing Set's power increase, many ancient gods began to imitate his behavior, devouring other ancient gods to strengthen themselves. This is what the book refers to as the "Fall of the Ancient Gods".

One of the evil ancient gods who could rival Set was called Sithon, who was most skilled in using various powerful black magic and also possessed the powerful ancient power of chaos.

In order to fight against the corrupted and evil ancient gods, Gaia and the creators of Earth's consciousness gave birth to Vatum, the God Eater, who could absorb corrupted and evil power to become stronger. Vatum slaughtered a large number of evil ancient gods, and even affected Earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs.
