Levi sat in the large, brightly lit chamber where nearly a hundred other cultivators were gathered, all waiting for their turn to take the entrance test. The walls were carved from marble stone. The atmosphere was tense, filled with hushed whispers and candidates prepared mentally for the challenge ahead.
Despite the weight of the occasion, Levi felt an overwhelming sense of boredom. His fingers tapped idly against the armrest of his chair as he gazed around the room, unimpressed by the anxious expressions surrounding him. Ever since arriving in this world, the thrill of battle and exploration had ignited a fire within him. He had relished the adrenaline of combat, the satisfaction of creating new Gu, and the endless opportunities to explore different regions, honing his craft and perfecting his techniques with relentless dedication.
Yet now, this waiting felt like a waste of precious time. His mind drifted back to the countless hours spent training his mind and body, mastering killer moves, and refining his path toward mastery. To be confined in a mere testing hall, surrounded by novices who hadn't tasted true danger, felt beneath him. Still, he knew this was a necessary step for his plans.

This was all of his status up until now. His advancement in the Illusion Path and Rule Path to Quasi-Grandmaster was largely due to the fundamental connection between his primary and secondary paths. Since both his Reality Path and Creation Path were deeply intertwined with the concepts of illusion and structure, his clones focusing on these areas naturally contributed to their steady progression.
Regarding the Human Path, his advancement stemmed from the efforts of multiple clones, each meticulously studying the Ren Zu Legends. By absorbing the philosophical insights and historical wisdom embedded in the text, his understanding of Human Path grew organically, elevating his attainment.
As for Sword Path, progress remained stagnant. Only a single clone had been assigned to specialize in it. Despite consistent efforts, this clone had yet to break through to Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster. The space path clone was also is in same position it was also struck at Great Grandmaster but it has high chance to breakthrough in 2 years.
Destruction Path, he conceived the idea for this path two years ago and created a mortal clone specifically to research and cultivate it. The clone began its study, gradually forming foundational theories, yet progress remained unusually slow. Unbeknownst to him, another individual had already excelled in this path, reaching a far higher level of attainment.
His initial progress remained stagnant, with his attainment struggling to advance. After a few days of deeper investigation and deucing using wisdom path, he discovered the reason—the Destruction Path had already been pioneered. This deduction puzzled him. If someone had indeed created this path before, why had it not surfaced in the light novel? Had the existence of this path been deliberately obscured, or was it a consequence of the 'ink effect.'
Regardless, his clone persisted in refining its understanding, making his attainment reach Master.
He possessed attainments across numerous other paths, further showcasing his profound expertise. Two of his immortal clones specialized in Time Path, both reaching the level of Great Grandmaster. Due to these two clones he could have more time, and because these time path clones, he used to manuiplate time in blessed land to gain more dao marks in the blessed land and go to the next rank easily and even now, some of his clones are going ascesion and tribulations in blessed land to make as many as Rank 8 Gu Immortals as possible.
His expertise extended to Formation Path, where his attainments had also reached Great Grandmaster. His proficiency enabled him to create complex formations capable of trapping Gu Immortals, and manipulating battlefield.
In Wood Path, another clone had reached Grandmaster level by focusing on nature-based Gu refinement and plant-based killer moves, including techniques that could manipulate entire forests for offensive and defensive strategies.
His Painting Path attainment, also at the Grandmaster level, involved the use of artistic constructs and illusions, where he could create manifestations of painted creatures that could act autonomously in battle.
For Strength Path, he maintained a Grandmaster level, emphasizing raw physical enhancement techniques and explosive melee combat capabilities, though this was rarely his primary focus.
Information Path had reached Great Grandmaster through his clone's constant analysis of intelligence-gathering Gu and deciphering encrypted messages using All-Seeing Eye Gu and Echo Record Gu.
His achievements in Water Path had similarly reached Grandmaster, focusing on fluid-based attacks and defensive techniques such as Tidal Surge Gu and Aqua Cloak Gu.
His Transformation Path, strengthened to Great Grandmaster, allowed him to temporarily alter his physical form and attributes using Bone Morph Gu and Titan's Shift Gu.
Lastly, his Theft Path attainment had also reached Great Grandmaster, granting him proficiency in techniques designed to steal Gu, essence, and even Dao marks directly from opponents using Shadow Hand Gu and Essence Extraction Gu.
All these paths were meticulously cultivated through his clones, balancing practical combat application with theoretical mastery, ensuring his growth remained versatile and expansive.
