Monk Qingde acquired a few ancient martial arts secret manuals, while Lin Yifan and An Qi came away empty-handed. Actually, it wasn't entirely fruitless; it's just that the martial arts secret manuals they found weren't to their liking.

As they left the cave mansion, Lin Yifan and his group of five bid farewell to the disciples of the Songshan Sect.

Watching the backs of Lin Yifan and the others as they left, a sense of unwillingness suddenly resurfaced among the disciples of the Songshan Sect.

This was the last chance. Missing this opportunity would make it difficult to acquire the treasures later.

"Senior brother, should we chase after them and seize the Ice Crystal Jade and that mysterious ancient book?"

"Do you think we can contend with three peak Divine Transformation Fifth Realm experts?" Monk Qingde countered.

"But we have a secret weapon, don't we?"

"If both sects have secret weapons, what do you think we should do?"

Momentarily speechless, the greed-driven disciple of the Songshan Sect hadn't considered this point. It was wise of the senior brother to think things through, otherwise, they might have faced total annihilation.

After distancing themselves from the powerful ones' cave mansion, Tan Jingwen finally voiced her questions: "Prince Consort Lin, does that book really not record who destroyed the Moon Worship Sect?"

"No!"

Lin Yifan answered very directly and decisively.

"Then why are you so nervous? Why didn't you give the book to Monk Qingde?"

"I told you, it contains ancient martial arts, it can't be given away carelessly."

"Those words might fool a three-year-old, but they're not going to fool an old wanderer like me. Come on, fess up!" Tan Jingwen urged seriously.

"Sister Tan, if you don't believe me, feel free to take a look. If you find any deceit in my words, you can do with me as you will."

"You know I can't read ancient texts, so what's the point of that?"

"Then you should believe me. Would someone as sincere as I am lie to you?"

"Fine! You win."

Tan Jingwen sensed a strong sense of vigilance in Lin Yifan, perhaps the ultimate skills Lin Yifan possessed were not meant to see the light of day.

An Qi also felt as though Lin Yifan was deliberately hiding something, but since Lin Yifan wasn't willing to talk, pressuring him more would only backfire, so no one mentioned it again.

In the following days, Lin Yifan and his group of five searched for treasures.

After wandering around the entire Secret Realm, they found a quiet place to undergo cultivation in seclusion.

There were still ten days before the Moon Worship Sect's monthly Moon Worship Festival, and with nothing else to do, they could only retreat into quiet cultivation.

Lin Yifan chose an extremely secretive location because he intended to enter the blue Immortal Ring to study the Shadow Clone Technique.

Since obtaining this ancient martial arts manual, he hadn't really had a chance to take a proper look until now, so it was about time to research it thoroughly.

After scrutinizing his surroundings and confirming no one was following him, he stealthily entered the blue Immortal Ring.

At this moment, the Enlightenment Tree and the small Sun Fruit Tree were playing with the ancient wasps.

They teased the ancient wasps in various ways, completely disregarding them.

The proud ancient wasps had resisted before, but they were subdued obediently under the oppressive power of the Enlightenment Tree's Great Dao, daring not to resist again.

Seeing that the Enlightenment Tree and the small Sun Fruit Tree were unharmed, Lin Yifan was reassured; these two Spiritual Trees were too valuable to lose. Therefore, if anything were to happen to them, he certainly wouldn't spare the ancient wasps.

Having relieved one concern, he entered a room, sat cross-legged, and took out the Shadow Clone Technique to study.

The Shadow Clone Technique is different from the Super Martial Arts of "One Qi Turns Into Three Purities."

"One Qi Turns Into Three Purities" can only create two clones, while the Shadow Clone Technique theoretically allows for the creation of unlimited clones if one possesses sufficiently abundant cultivation power.

However, the Shadow Clone Technique also has its drawbacks, which is that the more clones created, the weaker their combat abilities. Of course, if you only intend to use the clones to confuse the enemy's vision, it won't consume much energy.

In short, the Shadow Clone Technique has flaws, somewhat similar to the Sand Soldiers Technique; the difference being one dives into the clones to control them in battle, while the other controls false sand soldiers.

The Shadow Clone Technique is not just about creating clones; there are also many powerful techniques worth learning within it.

Of course, some techniques are more malicious, requiring the killing and blood-drinking, which are better left unlearned.

As an immortal-level martial art, the Shadow Clone Technique has caused countless heroes to bow down, yet it puzzled Lin Yifan. If the Shadow Organization possesses an immortal-level martial art, why have they not cultivated any Immortal Realm experts?

Could this era really be cursed? Is the Shadow Organization's Shadow Clone Technique incomplete?

This is an ancient mystery, perhaps only by stepping into the True Master Realm can he slowly uncover the reasons behind it.

Without further delay, he immediately began cultivating the Shadow Clone Technique.

The bane of the Shadow Clone Technique is martial arts like Mysterious Melody. The reason he still wants to learn it is that he wants an additional powerful skill, another strategy for confronting the enemy, and an additional means of escape.

In short, having one more skill can always come in handy.

The first step in cultivating the Shadow Clone Technique is to learn how to fabricate clones using cultivation power.

This is a brand-new method of creating clones, so Lin Yifan had to learn from the beginning.

However, with his intelligence and cunning, this hurdle shouldn't be too daunting for him.

Fabricating clones with cultivation power differs from using soul power, spiritual soul, and arrays; it's simpler but has many drawbacks.

In short, clones created with cultivation power cannot exchange places with the true self like the clones from "One Qi Turns Into Three Purities" and maintain the same strength level.

In other words, if the true self is found, it's all over.

Lin Yifan spent several hours practicing repeatedly, finally achieving minor success. However, it wasn't the effect he wanted, so he continued to intensify his cultivation.

After a day, he mastered it thoroughly, capable of summoning clones at any time and place.

With that, he passed the first hurdle, and next was to use these clones for battle.

The book provided specialized techniques for cultivation, and Lin Yifan discarded the simpler techniques, focusing solely on those with high destructive power.

He chose to do this because his current realm is not low, and researching those lower-tier techniques would be of no use, so it was better to cultivate a few advanced martial arts.

Powerful techniques have their own complexities, meaning cultivating them would require significant effort from Lin Yifan.

Fortunately, he has never been afraid of challenges, so it's all a matter of time.

A few days later, he mastered several of the more powerful techniques; however, they still did not satisfy him, so he continued his dedicated cultivation.

After a few more days, he learned the combat techniques for the shadow clones that he could comprehend to the strongest extent at the time.
