Global Sect: My Disciples Are All Clones!

Chapter 4: Qi Refining Level 1, Xiaocheng Sword Art!:

“Have all the big shots already established their Sects?”

“It’s been so long; everything that could be built must be built by now.”

“Can I ask if all the Sect Masters in our area have awakened Talents? I only managed to awaken a low-level Talent.”

“Damn, this guy is showing off. The chance of awakening a Talent is only 10%. Out of 10,000 people in our area, only 1,000 were successful.”

“I’m jealous of those who awakened Talents. I failed, and when I first arrived at the Ten Thousand Races Continent, I was targeted by a Demonic Beast. Luckily, I established my Sect immediately and have been hiding inside ever since, trembling.”
“…”

Li Ange silently observed the chat channel. 

Thanks to his system, he obtained a King Grade Talent, but without it, he would likely have envied those who had successfully awakened.

“I wonder who among the 10,000 people in this area has the highest Talent.”

Since the success rate for awakening was only 10%, most Talents were low-level. High-level Talents were undoubtedly rare.

“By the way, are there any second-generation immortals in our district? If there are, maybe we should surrender to them.”

Li Ange’s curiosity about the presence of second-generation immortals grew.

Second-generation immortals had a significant advantage among the newcomers. Someone like Li Ange started with nothing but the standard Sword Sect Token. Second-generation immortals, however, could inherit substantial resources from their ancestors, who were often powerful Sect Masters.

For example, a high-level disciple recruitment card could instantly grant them a disciple with high Talent. An ordinary recruitment card could provide 100 disciples without Talent.

While most were waiting for disciples to arrive in seven days, the second-generation immortals likely already had hundreds, if not thousands, of disciples.

Despite observing the chat for a long time, Li Ange found no sign of second-generation immortals. Either they didn’t exist in this area, or they were keeping a low profile.

“Good thing they’re quiet. Otherwise, we’d all end up as their subordinates,” Li Ange muttered.

Nearly three hours passed as Li Ange watched the chat. Suddenly, his aura shifted.

[Congratulations to Sect Master Li Ange for breaking through to the 1st stage Qi Refining Realm, officially embarking on the path of immortal cultivation. Reward: 500 Spirit Stones.]

[One of your disciples has successfully broken through to the 1st stage Qi Refining Realm. Reward: 500 Spirit Stones.]

[Ten of your disciples have successfully broken through to the 1st stage Qi Refining Realm. Reward: 5,000 Spirit Stones.]

Li Ange smiled as a wave of rewards brought him a total of 6,000 Spirit Stones. After deducting 1,000 Spirit Stones consumed by his clones during cultivation, he now had 9,977 Spirit Stones left.

[System notification: Host has reached the Qi Refining Realm. The maximum number of clones has increased to 100. Current count: 10/100.]

“Ninety more clones can be created. If only I had enough Spirit Stones. With 100 clones cultivating for me, my breakthroughs would be terrifyingly fast,” Li Ange thought.

He opened his personal panel to review his progress:

[Personal Panel]

[Name]: Li Ange

[Number]: GH54F3823AG

[Realm]: 1st stage Qi Refining Realm (0%)

[Sect]: Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect

[Cultivation Technique]: Heavenly Profound Technique (Small Success, 0%)

[Skill]: Cold Light Sword Art (Initiation, 0%)

[Talent]: Sirius Bloodline

[Supernatural Power]: Sirius Transformation

Not only had his Realm advanced, but his Cultivation Technique had also reached a small success, significantly improving his cultivation speed.

The stages of mastery for Cultivation Techniques and spells were: Initiation, Minor Achievement, Mastery, Great Completion, and Return to Origin.

Additionally, his Supernatural Power,[Sirius Transformation], had been activated, further enhancing his strength.

“What should I do next? Continue cultivating or start hunting Demonic Beasts?” Li Ange wondered.

Though he earned Spirit Stones from rewards, they weren’t enough to meet his needs. Hunting Demonic Beasts would be faster. While Spirit Stones wouldn’t drop directly from kills, their remains could be sold in the trading market.

Currently, trading was restricted to regional transactions among the 10,000 people in this area. Most were mere mortals, but second-generation immortals likely needed resources to sustain their numerous disciples.

Li Ange planned to sell Demonic Beasts to these privileged individuals, who probably had plenty of Spirit Stones to spare.

Another benefit of hunting Demonic Beasts was the chance to obtain special items, such as building blueprints or cultivation acceleration cards.

After weighing his options, Li Ange decided to hunt Demonic Beasts. Spirit Stones would allow him to create more clones, exponentially increasing his cultivation speed.

However, he wasn’t in a rush. With his clones only at the 1st stage Qi Refining Realm, even with[Sirius Transformation], their attack options were still limited.

He opened the mall interface, a temporary shop available for newcomer Sect Masters for one month. It featured basic items such as:

[First-order Spirit Swords (10 Spirit Stones each)]

[First-order Vestments (10 Spirit Stones each)]

[First-order Healing Pills (10 Spirit Stones each)]

Li Ange created eight more clones, bringing his total to eighteen, and spent 1,800 Spirit Stones to equip each with a Spirit Sword. The remaining 177 Spirit Stones went toward purchasing 17 spirit recovery pills, leaving him with just 7 Spirit Stones.

“All clones, begin practicing[Cold Light Sword Art],” Li Ange commanded.

The clones obeyed immediately, and the progress bar for the spell steadily increased.

After three hours, the[Cold Light Sword Art] reached Minor Achievement.

Li Ange tested the skill and watched as a cold light shot out, leaving a three-inch-deep sword mark on a nearby tree.

“As expected of a spiritual-level spell. Even at Minor Achievement, it’s this powerful,” Li Ange noted. 

With the addition of[Sirius Transformation], even a cultivator at the 3rd stage Qi Refining Realm would stand no chance against him.

“Now that my technique is ready and my combat strength is solid, it’s time to hunt Demonic Beasts.”

Sitting in his wooden house, Li Ange transferred his consciousness to his first clone. Leading the remaining seventeen clones, he stepped out of the Sect’s protected area.

The advantage of having clones was clear—his main body didn’t need to take any risks. Even if a clone died, it would resurrect after 24 hours with no loss.
