It had been a month since Long Tao since the avatar formation art was cultivated.
All the avatars of Long Tao have reached the peak level of foundation forge, as his own body and currently undergoing the Heavenly pestle grind for the last time before advancing into the new realm.
Long Tao's real body had long since achieved his previous peak soul state again and was currently observing and supervising all the avatars.
One should know by the miracle of the Origin avatar art; he now had ten true self. Each of the figures present was like an alternate body for Long Tao's consciousness and hence will help him a lot in his martial practice.
Due to the increased speed, the avatars soon entered the Qi child realm too.
..............................................................
Long Tao currently started feeling the changes after cultivation. He was surprised to find out that the current him had higher Qi reserves and more strength than the previous state of being a single entity.
It was precisely why the art was heaven-defying. All of Long Tao's avatars were now interconnected. Except for the physical strength, be it Qi, soul power, efficiency, ability to do multiple works went through a boost.
Didn't this signify that Long Tao was invincible in the same realm?
He already had unnatural cultivation strength due to the simultaneous cultivation of the three arts, but now he was even more powerful.
Didn't it mean that he could now easily fight against cultivators of higher realms?
...............................................................
The Keeper of the realm was shocked to see the avatars of Long Tao. He had seen the previous masters of the crimson world, and the highest number of avatars ever created at the start of cultivation were 4.
That figure in the past was a tremendous talent in terms of soul power and had an inherent great soul and soul body. But the new master in front of him far surpassed the previous records.
The facts told by him were regarding the highest record holder, and he honestly didn't know the limits of the current inheritor.
Long Tao looked at him and asked him to brief about the landscape of Crimson world so that he could start defining his path and then divide the various works and pathways between the 11 figures.
............................................................
"The Crimson world has many pavilions, organizations, and other places, and your current view in front of you is not the total one. As you step into higher realms, the Crimson world will keep on expanding, and new places will come out of locked.".
Long Tao was shocked. It meant that the current world was not even a considerable part of the actual realm. Putting aside the shock, he continued to listen," The world has multiples critical zones. Still, significant zones of the manor are classified into seven types: Art and scripture library, cultivation caves, formation lodge, weapon pavilion, pill hall, battlegrounds, and Throne room.
The library held a multitude of attacks, defense, movement, auxiliary, and variety of arts scriptures, secret arts, and many more the library was separated into eight floors, each corresponding to a different realm of cultivation.
Long Tao could now access only the first floor. He could choose and practice the techniques. As per the cultivation arts present, he is not required to read those because except for the core cultivation art of crimson ancients, He already possessed another four extraordinary cultivation scriptures.
..............................................................
The ones present in the library can be used for recruited outsiders once he becomes stronger and establishes his force.
The scriptures here can also be used for references, through which not only can he gain insights into his core arts, but he may get additional inspiration for creating a new set of skills.
The creation of new art was quite tricky and required extensive research and experimentation. The base form can be inspired by one of these, while others will help him upgrade and shape the base form into a complete skill.
..............................................................
The cultivation caves where the cultivation took place, and the Practioner cultivated and advanced his martial stage and realm.
Long Tao has long since used these caves and was satisfies with it. Due to a large number of caves present, all the ten avatars could practice simultaneously.
Long Tao decided to divide work between the avatars and have them conduct it in their cultivation caves.
..............................................................
The formation hall was the holy ground for the Practioner of formations and puppetry, while the weaponry was the storage and forging area of weapons.
The people interested in the Dao of weapons and formations could train here while meditating on the scriptures present and the previous recorded insights and experiences of the prior practitioners of this hall.
................................................................
There were two parts of each hall, one being the creation, cultivation, and forging part and the other being the storehouse where the previously created formations, weapons, puppets were stored.
Long Tao was allowed to access according to his cultivation realm.
...............................................................
The pill hall was the same as the weapons pavilion, but it was the cultivation ground for pill Practioner and had a multitude of recipes and stored pills.
Also, it had another area called the herb garden, and there were multiple varieties of herbs planted in these are.
However, this was outside the manor. The primary restriction Long Tao faced was that his accessibility was limited t his realm of cultivation.
But if he wanted to get his hands on the higher-ranked products, he has to cultivate and advance in the individual sectors.
.............................................................
It meant he had to start comprehending various Dao's, crating his resources and equipment's and have a new storage area for gathering.
It was to collect more and more resources that will be required for the development and nurturing of the force created by him.
The battleground was the area for comprehensions and fighting with customized opponents present in the Crimson Realm.
The overseer of this area was the puppet who guided Long Tao through his test. He invited Long Tao to fight and start to gain practical experience in these battle areas.
This area could be used as a trial ground for his creations.
................................................................
Long Tao contemplated, planned, and decided upon a proper action scheme.
He now had ten true selves. Hence, he decided that two of his avatars will always immerse themselves in the cultivation.
One true self each will go to all the different pavilions and start simultaneously gaining insights and cultivating each of the Dao.
He wanted the last true self to walk on the path of dominance and slaughter and always comprehending and gathering experience in the outside world.
.................................................................
One should know that it had already been two months since Long Tao came into this realm. But to his disbelief, he found out that only a single month had passed in the outer world.
Time ran differently in this dimension (faster than the outer world). Long Tao also gained comprehension that he advanced and stepped into higher realms; the time limits will change and run even faster compared to the outer world.
Long Tao didn't speculate on this fortune of his as he immersed himself in cultivation and research.
...............................................................
Long Manor-
The atmosphere was still busy. It was the monthly meeting of the elders again. Barely ten months remained, for the date of the gathering to be held in the capital city.
Long Shen looked into the reports back as an elder briefed about the current statistics" We have already got the information that Long Zhengyi has stepped into the Qi child realm. She will continue to cultivate in her master's manor. Also, those present in the clan, except for Long Dingtian, Long Mengchen, has stepped into the Qi child realm. We congratulate the clan lord on this occasion."
Many silhouettes congratulated Long Shen. After all, Long Mengchen was his foster daughter. "If we want to win the championship, at the very least, we require a clan member to step into the 4th stage of the Qi child realm. Our main competitors will be the geniuses of the other four clans as well as members of the royal family. "
The elders then proceeded to discuss their action plan for the future. The three members to be concentrated on were Long Dingtian, Long Zhengyi, and Long Mengchen. Little did they know that a storm was going to clear away the whole gathering in the capital.
