Three Truths Severance Art is a high-level secret technique used to create a second incarnation or a separate, independent version of oneself.
Key Characteristics of the Art:
- Independent Existence: Unlike simpler puppet techniques where a sliver of the soul controls a body, an incarnation created via this art is a genuine existence. It can act independently of the main body’s spiritual sense and has no distance limitations.
- Memory and Emotion: Both the main body and the incarnation share the same memories and emotions, effectively making them the same person in two places.
- Survival Benefit: The art provides a powerful “second life”. If the main body is killed, the user can survive as long as the incarnation remains intact. The secondary Nascent Soul would eventually take the place of the main one.
- Origin: In the lower realm, it is specifically identified as a secret technique belonging to the Righteous Dao.
Comparison with Other Techniques
The protagonist, Han Li, uses a similar Devil Dao Art but have some differences called the Profound Nascent Formation Arts to cultivate his second Nascent Soul and create his own incarnation. While both techniques aim to create independent incarnations, the Three Truths Severance Art is the Righteous Dao’s equivalent to this heaven-defying process.
The Three Truths Severance Art (三真七绝术 / 三真实斩) is designed to create one permanent, completely independent external incarnation (clone) at a time. [1]
However, the technique’s structural rules and how they work in the grander universe can be broken down as follows:
- One True Incarnation per Attempt
The art works by splitting a core portion of the user’s soul and origin essence to breathe life into a secondary body. Because it requires a severe, permanent division of the cultivator’s primary consciousness, it creates one core avatar. [1, 2]
- Why the Number “Three” is in the Name
In Xianxia lore, “Three Truths” typically refers to the traditional concept of the three primary components of a cultivator’s existence: the physical flesh body, the primordial soul (spirit), and the origin essence (Qi). The technique works by severing or manipulating these three aspects to anchor the single clone permanently, granting it a high level of independent survival. [1, 2]
- Comparison to Han Li’s Clone Art
The Righteous Dao’s Three Truths Severance Art is mentioned as being highly similar to the Profound Nascent Formation Art used by the protagonist, Han Li. [1]
- Han Li uses his devilish equivalent to create one completely autonomous clone (his renowned Human-Fleshed Qi Clone / Crying Soul Incarnation). [1]
- Unlike standard illusion clones or mindless string-puppets, these independent incarnations can travel infinitely far away, think for themselves, and even cultivate on their own. [1]
