The creation of an avatar or homunculus was not something unknown to the great experts of the celestial heaven, even if it was something rare below that.
There were two main ways to create something like this.
The first was the method used by the patriarch of the dragon people, using a piece of his own soul and Qi to create a body and imbuing it with a fragment of his consciousness.
It was widely known among orthodox cultivators, and although it caused temporary weakness in its user, it was still the most accepted technique.
The second, on the other hand, was basically a crime worthy of capital punishment in the eyes of any orthodox cultivator: the use of sacrifices to create a perfect body.
Qingyi had already seen this method twice.
First, in the mortal realm, when demonic cultists attempted to use sacrifices and a fragment of Ruxue to summon an avatar of the heavenly demon to earth.
