“Absolutely not.” Mirror God said without hesitation.
Shaking his head helplessly, he couldn't believe that he held such a low position in the eyes of the Mirror God. However, he couldn't blame him. He was always the one who had to ask the Mirror God to step in and solve his problems. Over time, this had inevitably led to this bad outcome.
However, this time, Xiao Wenbing really had a solution.
Under the watchful gaze of the Mirror God, Xiao Wenbing flicked his finger, and five dark infants instantly flew out. Freed from the constraints of a physical body, the dark infants possessed unparalleled speed, which explained why the Food King immediately abandoned his escape attempt upon seeing them. Because in terms of speed alone, a cultivator's physical body was far inferior to that of a dark infant.
"Why did you call them out?" the Mirror God asked curiously. Suddenly, its body seemed to grow a little larger, and its eyes darted around. Then it asked urgently, "You want them to refine golden pills?"
A smile finally appeared on Xiao Wenbing's face. He asked with a smile, "Yes, do you think that's possible?"
"This..." The Mirror God fell silent for a moment, truly unsure how to answer this question. This situation was absolutely unprecedented, and no one could guarantee success.
"Since we can't be sure, let's give it a try. Isn't it said that practice makes perfect?"
"Very well." Mirror God glanced at him. Suddenly, he looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Wenbing asked curiously. The Mirror God's expression was indeed comical, but why did he suddenly become so sentimental?
"I'm sighing," the Mirror God said, shaking his head. "Even the wisest person can make a mistake, and even the most foolish person can have a stroke of genius..."
"..."
Little by little, a faint golden light emanated from the dark infants. Xiao Wenbing had indeed guessed correctly; these dark infants were, after all, created from copies of his nascent soul. And the nascent soul is a second body that a cultivator condenses after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy.
By replicating the Nascent Soul, they essentially replicated a second Xiao Wenbing.
The only difference is that one is a physical structure, and the other is an energy structure.
However, whether it's the physical body or the energy, thankfully, this miraculous ability has also been replicated.
Although the Dark Infants have no consciousness other than their fighting instincts, their master, Xiao Wenbing, is a fully-fledged human being with high intelligence.
Therefore, when Xiao Wenbing channeled his spiritual power into one of the dark infants, he easily gained control of it. The feeling was exactly the same as having a nascent soul within his own body.
Gathering spiritual power and activating his supernatural ability, Xiao Wenbing was astonished to find that this time the activation of his supernatural ability was far too fast. Almost as soon as he thought of it, the powerful supernatural ability was already fully concentrated in his hand.
Staring blankly at the small golden pill ball that appeared in An Ying's hand, the whole movement was done in one go without any hindrance.
"Mirror God, I succeeded," Xiao Wenbing whispered, possessing the Dark Infant.
"Yes. I saw it." The Mirror God stared in disbelief, only managing to come to his senses after a long while.
"You..." Xiao Wenbing hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have you noticed that this speed seems a little too fast?"
"It's not just a little fast," Mirror God said solemnly and confidently.
"Not fast?" Xiao Wenbing was taken aback. Was it just his imagination?
“It’s not just a little faster,” Mirror God repeated, then murmured, “it’s much faster. Much faster… so fast that it’s almost formed in the blink of an eye.”
Xiao Wenbing shook his head slightly. This Mirror God was truly...
“Mirror God, I’ve discovered that the power of creation is used exceptionally quickly within the Dark Infant’s body,” Xiao Wenbing stated his discovery.
After thinking for a moment, the Mirror God said, "Don't forget, Dark Infant's body was tempered by the divine power of the Treasure God."
"That's right, that makes sense."
Xiao Wenbing's special ability is that he can convert other types of divine power into his own. A large part of the energy above the Dark Infant is the divine power of the Treasure God, so he can use it with ease.
Having figured out the reason, Xiao Wenbing's consciousness left the Dark Infant. However, before leaving, he still gave an order... to continue copying.
The dark infant controlled by the divine spark immediately made the correct response. With a flick of its golden hand, the space rippled, and a golden core was formed.
This was the first time Xiao Wenbing had observed the entire process of creation from nothingness from within his own body as an outsider.
For some reason, he didn't feel anything was wrong when he performed it himself, but when he saw the Dark Infant rapidly moving its little hands, creating one golden core after another out of thin air, a strange feeling he had never felt before welled up in his heart.
The speed and efficiency of the divine core were obviously much higher than that of Xiao Wenbing. In just over ten minutes, a total of one hundred golden cores had been placed on the ground.
Xiao Wenbing secretly calculated that it was almost six per minute. At this speed, it was equivalent to cultivating a Golden Core stage expert every ten seconds. If this got out, he really didn't know what kind of consequences it would cause.
However, once the hundred golden pills were filled, Dark Infant's movements immediately stopped.
Xiao Wenbing was slightly startled, because he had not given the Dark Infant a stop order.
"Why...did it stop?" Xiao Wenbing asked with a solemn expression. A terrifying thought flashed through his mind: what should he do if the Dark Infant started to disobey his commands?
Is it true, as the Food King said, that he is cultivating a Dark God?
He stared intently at the Dark Infant, a faint red light emanating from his hand. He had already taken the Earth Vein Fire Source into his grasp, and if the Dark Infant made any unusual moves, he would immediately blast it to pieces.
The Dark God... must absolutely not be allowed to reappear in the cultivation world.
However, after observing him for a moment as if facing a formidable enemy, the Dark Infant remained completely still.
"What's wrong?" Mirror God asked cautiously.
“The Dark Infant did not obey my orders.”
"What?" The Mirror God was also greatly surprised. It knew perfectly well what it meant if the Dark Infant no longer obeyed its master's orders.
However, no matter how they observed, the Dark Infant remained seated motionless, showing no sign of anything amiss.
"Are you sure?" Mirror God stared unblinkingly at Dark Infant, but asked Xiao Wenbing.
“Naturally, I did not give a stop order, but Dark Infant stopped on its own.”
