"go!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Lao Yinbi sent the treasure mirror deep into the true spirit of his clone.
The ability to transform into three pure beings is the signature skill of Taiqing Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones, and is naturally incomparable to ordinary clone abilities.
The three clones that it differentiated from were true clones, possessing true spirits, capable of cultivating independently, and even able to attain the Great Luo or even the Primordial Chaos realm.
In other words, it's similar to creating a secondary account in a game.
After doing all this, the cunning old man thought for a moment and then put away his clone.
"What's this kid up to? I don't understand at all."
Xiao Ning stood to the side, looking completely bewildered.
It's all tears when I think about it.
Ever since he followed Lao Yin into the Three Immortal Islands, he found himself unable to get out.
That damned chaotic array actually isolated him inside.
Later, Xiao Ning gradually came to terms with it and decided to make the best of it.
Besides, if this is the will of Heaven, there must be some deeper meaning behind it.
So, while Lao Yin forced himself to go into seclusion for a million yuan, Xiao Ning also spent over a million yuan in boredom.
After finally getting the old cunning man to come out of seclusion, he just keeps doing some incomprehensible underworld stuff. He's simply not human!
Countless cycles passed, and while the old Yin was peacefully in seclusion, Xiao Ning was utterly bored.
Outside, the great battle between the ferocious beast clans and the innate gods and demons was nearing its end. If Xiao Ning were to see it, he would certainly know that this was the second great calamity of the primordial world, the Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts.
On this day, Lao Yinbi suddenly emerged from seclusion and walked out of the Chaos Array, disappearing without a trace. Unable to leave, Xiao Ning had no choice but to wait on the Three Immortals Island.
After an unknown amount of time, the old cunning man returned, covered in wounds, but he looked very happy, as if he had done something remarkable.
The old schemer went back into seclusion, leaving Xiao Ning completely bewildered.
Suddenly, space froze, time froze.
Xiao Ning felt a sudden brightness before his eyes, but when he opened them and saw the scene before him, he was completely dumbfounded.
"I'm that old sly fox myself..."

Chapter 5: Cause and Effect
Penglai Fairy Island.
The primordial spiritual energy swirls and condenses into drops of primordial spiritual water, which fall down. In the distance, towering peaks rise one after another, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, with mountains and rivers, deep valleys and dangerous ravines everywhere.
A crane soared in the air, its flapping and flashing movements displaying an aura as deep and boundless as the sea, revealing its profound cultivation.
At the very center of the fairy island lies a cluster of palaces, displaying grandeur, magnificence, and extraordinary sacredness.
At this moment, the sun was rising, and the golden rays of the sun slanted across the entire fairy island, bathing it in the morning light, making it resemble a paradise.
The palace complex is arranged in a mysterious formation, as if guarding the four directions, winding around a central palace called Wen Dao.
Ask the Way Hall.
Inside the hall, the beams are made of sandalwood from the cloud-topped roof, the lamps are made of celestial crystal and jade, the curtains are made of millennia-old pearls, and the pillars are made of innate Geng metal. When the wind rises and the clouds move, it makes one feel as if they are falling into a dreamlike sea of clouds.
There were three figures in the main hall.
Among them, two figures sat cross-legged in the hall, their forms hazy and sacred, their faces obscured. Yet, upon seeing them, one felt a deep sense of reverence and dared not make the slightest move, lest one desecrate their sacredness.
Another figure stood below the hall, his face full of surprise.
"So... I'm just an avatar? Then why are you summoning me back now to devour me?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning felt helpless, like a little girl surrounded by eighteen strong men, her whole body cold and powerless.
"No, no, no, you are me, I am you!"
A divine being spoke, replying, "After the One Qi Transforms into the Three Pure Ones, you are already an independent entity. Perhaps in the future you will attain eternity and join our ranks. Why would I want to devour you?"
"They're not going to devour me? That's good, that's good!"
Hearing what the other person said, Xiao Ning felt relieved and had no doubts.
If the other party wants to devour him, he won't even have a chance to escape.
The difference between them is too great, like the difference between a spark and the sun, or the difference between a firefly and the moon.
Moreover, the other party had no reason to lie to him.
After all, as he said, we are one entity, inseparable.
"Haha, if you're worried about this, there's really no need. Look, I'm living just fine!"
Another divine being laughed heartily, and a slightly aged voice reached Xiao Ning's ears.
Looking at this being, Xiao Ning felt even more conflicted. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "From now on... what identity should we use to interact? Master? Clone?"
The being that spoke from behind laughed and said, "Just now, my main body activated your memory recovery. As you probably know, the wonder of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones Divine Power is that it can differentiate into three completely different clones, each with its own true spirit and personality, essentially a brand new individual."
