Ever since the last battle with the Fire Ape Race, when his strategy of using clones was undone by their keen sense of smell, Li Zheng's part of the Spiritual Body under the Bodhi Tree had been diligently researching countermeasures.
By using Spiritual Power to simulate an identical scent on each residual image, he could deceive their sense of smell.
It was like upgrading from a 3D image to a 3.5D image.
Moreover, he could freely traverse between these images, switching at will.
Though the principle behind the traversal was unclear to him, the inspiration for the technique came from Mirel's "Myriad Whips Return to the Root."
As long as it works, that's what matters—the principle behind Ice and Fire Attachment eluded him as well, but it didn't stop him from using it, right?
Once the images are split off, Li Zheng's main body will not be exposed unless Holiens and the other two destroy all the images.
