From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

in short.

Similar to the demonic body in this time and space.

That fake Jiang Liu, who was also Jiang Liu's clone, carried some of his original cultivation memories the moment he was created. As a result, he was able to spontaneously and proactively gradually control the Qi in his body, practice Bajiquan, learn Taijiquan, and even vaguely explore the Hunyuan Yiqi Method.

It is not the [Primordial Qi] that Jiang Liu has now cultivated, but rather the method he previously figured out from Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu's breathing techniques, which involves qi, sound, and vibration, and is used to regulate the breathing qi of the lungs and the circulation of qi throughout the body.

Therefore, this fake Jiang Liu is far stronger than other clones, and is able to gradually gain independent will, and finally rebel against the "thought imprint" set up by Barcelona.

Even so, he was not the real Jiang Liu. Even though he possessed an independent will and integrated nearly 70% of his power, he was not human. He had no flesh and blood, no extraordinary meridians, and no cells or genes. Therefore, he was completely limited in terms of the limits of his hard power.

Facing Xiaoyu, his fate was not much better than that of the other clones; he was cut in two.

But precisely because clones are not made of flesh and blood, their heads are not the place where their consciousness resides, but rather the place where the organs they use to observe the world, hear sounds, smell odors, and make sounds reside. Their consciousness resides in every inch of their entire body.

and so.

When Xiaoyu beheaded the fake Lu Jin and the fake Duanmu Ying, their heads could still talk, and their headless bodies could still move, just like disabled people without eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

In addition, the cloned self controlled the Qi, and in order to obtain greater power, it merged with the bodies of clones of Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, Chen Long, Little Snake, Bull Warrior, Tru, Parker and others.

Because of the physical materials used in cloning, humans cannot grow on their own, so a new approach must be taken to break through the current limitations.

That is, to increase one's own quality.

This process involves the integration of Qi (vital energy).

It was similar to the fusion of "form" and "emptiness" that Xiaoyu had three years ago, but it was much easier.

Without him.

The differences in the appearance of clones stem from their different physical characteristics, but their physical materials are essentially the same, making fusion easier.

In addition, due to the influence of the Zhou weather system moving from yin-yang balance to yin-yang harmony and integration, the clones also influenced the worship of local deities by the people in this area during the fusion process.

In theory, it is possible to create a deity in the true sense of the word.

But as luck would have it...

This is India.

Buddhism originated in China, but its true lineage lies in the Central Plains.

The religious beliefs in Dharani are complex, with Hinduism predominating and Buddhism being less prevalent.

The beliefs of different gods and Buddhas converged and mixed together, yet they resonated with Ananta, the snake god who represents chaos and order, and eternal reincarnation in the local area. As a result, the body material of the clone was transformed into a snake egg, and the power of Hindu worship of Ananta was drawn to give birth to a real Ananta.

This egg was both the cradle that nurtured Ananta and the body that gave birth to him.

When it is born, the eggshell will not break open like a real snake egg. Instead, it will be covered with snake scales in the color of a blue night sky and grooves will appear. Then it will stretch out its body from its original coiled state.

in short.

This egg is a spiraling Ananta.

"Should we wait for it to hatch?" Upon seeing such a large snake egg, Lu Jin was startled and made a guess about Ananta's body length.

Its length could probably exceed thirty meters.

If this snake continues to grow, it's impossible to estimate how long it will grow.

of course.

It is more likely that body shape is fixed after birth.

Just like the eight great demons, including Shendu, who possess powerful magic, even the tallest of them, Pogan, is only about thirty or forty meters tall.

"Well, although I'm very curious to see what a snake with seven heads looks like, I won't let innocent people bear the consequences."

As soon as Jiang Liu finished speaking, Lu Jin understood his attitude.

Without saying a word, Xiaoyu took off the weapon box from her chest, and with a flick of her wrist, it transformed into a long halberd.

With his feet planted firmly on the ground and power transmitted through his spine, he twisted his waist, transforming into a whirlwind, leaping 3,600 degrees, and unleashing a white energy blade that cleaved directly at the large white egg.

A crack was instantly cleaved into the white snake egg.

But the good times don't last long.

In the blink of an eye, the crack was restored to its original state, exactly the same as before.

"what happened?"

Xiaoyu was puzzled and swung her sword several more times, leaving dozens of penetrating blade marks on the snake egg, but to no avail. The snake egg continued to regenerate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Ananta is matter itself, and cannot be destroyed,” Mohaji murmured.

But in fact?

However, the materials used in clones are special, making them a seamless whole.

Just like cutting.

Essentially, it's just a matter of squeezing.

Cutting fruits and vegetables and causing juice to flow out only breaks the cells, but it can never sever the molecular structure.

Cloned humans have no flesh and blood, no cells, let alone genes. From a microscopic perspective, they are composed of a special and single macromolecular structure.

Even if you use Qi to deal with this snake egg by "cutting" it, you won't be able to truly damage it in the slightest.

"What should I do?"

Xiaoyu asked for the method.

"It's very simple, just disrupt the energy flow within it."

From a microscopic perspective, everything is in motion.

But there is one prerequisite for achieving a powerful momentum:

complex.

Although elemental metals, simple metal compounds, and silicides also have weak magnetic fields, they need to either accumulate to a large level or combine with other substances to form the basis of an energy field in order to generate an energy field.

This is true of all natural phenomena, which is why they are so massive.

Clones are made of a single material and theoretically cannot form an aura. However, since this world is covered by an aura of a planet, if a method is found, incantations are recited, and the aura of the surrounding world is resonated, even inanimate objects can communicate with the world and use the aura of the world to gain life.

This is what snake eggs are like.

As numerous chaotic beliefs converged and aligned with Ananta's faith, the aura of those beings, initially resembling humans, gradually changed, evolving into the aura of Ananta, the legendary serpent god, resembling a demon being conceived...

Or deities.

# Chapter 942 Ananta (Part 1)

"Then how can we disrupt the aura?"

Xiaoyu couldn't wait any longer and wanted to destroy the snake egg made up of clones.

There are usually only two methods.

Jiang Liu held up two fingers.

one.

It disrupts the structure at the level of matter and energy.

Qi, as the name suggests, refers to the flow and circulation of Qi or 炁 within a certain range.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the framework for the flow of Qi is disrupted, the Qi pattern can be broken. Just as people throughout history have either perfected or destroyed the natural Qi pattern by opening up mountains, building roads, digging canals, and changing routes.

As for targeting a person, whether it is physically damaging their body or verbally attacking their spirit, affecting their mind and emotions, it can certainly destabilize and disrupt their personal energy.

But in the world of "Little Jade's Adventures," the weather system is well-developed and covers the entire globe. If it were to communicate with humans... taking this snake egg as an example, its molecular structure would have to be destroyed at least.

Secondly.

It directly targets the Qi pattern, disrupting its information.

Matter and energy can construct an aura; similarly, a perfect aura can also shape matter and energy. Therefore, by altering the information within the aura, the snake eggs can be made to vanish without a trace.

With Xiaoyu's current abilities, she would need to rely on external objects to destroy the molecular level of the snake eggs.

That is, to understand the chemical properties of its macromolecules, and then to find materials that can react chemically with the chemical components of snake eggs, thereby decomposing them.

However, considering that large molecules containing carbon can be corroded, all we need to do is find something like a strong acid or a strong alkali.

It's not very useful against fully formed demons like the Holy Lord, because their aura is connected to the surrounding heaven and earth's aura, allowing them to repair their physical bodies with the continuous power of heaven and earth.

However, for this Ananta snake egg that has not yet fully hatched, strong acids and alkalis are deadly and will corrode it completely.

"Where can we find strong acid now?"

Xiaoyu was speechless and asked about the possibility of another method.

"But it's also quite difficult to disrupt the energy flow within it."

With its primordial energy, Jiang Liu could annihilate the snake egg, provided that—

Strip away the power of faith within it.

The worship of the human heart and the thoughts of the spirit come together to form faith, which can transform falsehood into truth and illusion into reality. It is a force that can rival the light of the soul.

Furthermore, from Jiang Liu's current perspective, the so-called power of faith or the light of the soul is an alternative variant.

Assuming that the personalized light of the soul originates from one's purest beliefs or obsessions, with the ultimate goal of becoming an immortal or a Buddha.

The power of faith, then, originates from the obsessions and beliefs of all beings, and what is created is holiness.

The novel *Journey to the West* describes that only three beings in the world are immortal: immortals, Buddhas, and saints... Looking at it today, that was truly ahead of its time!

Immortals and Buddhas do not need faith in essence; only ghosts and gods need incense offerings.

After all, immortals and Buddhas are those who cultivate themselves, while ghosts and gods are those whose faith is forged through the worship of all living beings.

But without a doubt, immortals and Buddhas can also utilize faith... Even without immortals or Buddhas, or even just humans, as long as they find the right way, they can also utilize the power of faith.

For example: a mask of divinity.

If it's just the kind of manipulation of the power of worshipping all living beings, like Xia Liuqing and Wang Zhenqiu, let alone Jiang Liu, even an ordinary supernatural being could handle it if they were well-prepared and secretly plotted.

But this snake egg was different. It resonated with the Zhou Qi Qi (a system of celestial phenomena) and also embodied the worship of local Indian deities and gods, truly uniting faith and merging into one, thus creating Ananta.
