Clone

In the Virtual Universe, within a special plane, black-purple currents permeate every corner. Endless stars flicker with black-purple light, burning with raging flames as they rotate around a nine-story pagoda.

This is the exclusive plane of Demon Wing Venerable within the Virtual Universe.

Every Universe Venerable affiliated with the Virtual Universe Company is entitled to build their own palace on Thunder Island.

Beyond the palaces on Thunder Island, all Universe Venerables may also choose to construct an independent plane within the Virtual Universe to showcase their status.

Of course, some Universe Venerables choose not to establish their own planes, preferring instead to reside on Thunder Island alongside other Venerables.

Demon Wing Venerable, however, used his influence to establish a private plane for himself.

After hundreds of millions of years of bitter cultivation, his strength could no longer advance. Even when communicating with other Venerables, he could not find a shred of inspiration. Over countless years, the drive within his heart seemed to have dissipated; he usually only guarded important secret realms for his race or accepted invitations from the few companions he could converse with to explore secret realms.

Most of his remaining time was spent in a state of idleness.

Furthermore, Demon Wing Venerable possesses the Ability of Clones!

This allows him to explore secret realms without fear of falling, and he is the one who usually handles most of the rear-guard actions.

Precisely because of this, many Universe Overlords from the Human Race, the Hong Alliance, and even foreign races are very willing to invite Demon Wing Venerable to explore secret realms together.

After all, the Ability of Clones is simply too convenient.

Especially when one reaches the stage of Universe Venerable or even Universe Master, having a clone versus not having one is an entirely different concept.

Powerhouses with clones act more arrogantly; they do not fear falling, and if a disagreement arises, they start fighting, losing at most a set of treasures in the end.

Powerhouses without clones must be much more cautious. Every time they fall, not only do they lose their treasures, but the race will not resurrect them for free; each resurrection incurs a massive debt.

In this regard, a certain Venerable who fell three times in a row has the most to say.

After falling three times in a row, he not only lost all his treasures but also owed his friends and the race a vast amount of treasure points—a Universe Venerable who ended up owing the net worth of a Universe Overlord.

It was nothing short of miserable.

But such a situation would never happen to a powerhouse like Demon Wing Venerable, who possesses the Ability of Clones.

For a powerhouse like Demon Wing Venerable with the Ability of Clones, even if one clone falls, it only takes a small amount of divine power to recover.

Moreover, powerhouses with clones generally do not keep their entire net worth on a single clone; even if one falls, in the vast majority of cases, they have backup treasures as replacements.

As this cycle continues, their net worth only grows wealthier.

Taking the Human Race as an example, the wealthiest Universe Venerables are undoubtedly the top Universe Overlords, who not only have gene multipliers reaching thousands of times but also possess the Ability of Clones, earning countless treasure points every time a Primitive Star opens.

And below the top Universe Overlords are Universe Overlords like Demon Wing Venerable, who possess the Ability of Clones.

At the entrance of the pagoda, Qin Cang walks toward the gate with firm steps.

Entering the pagoda, the first floor serves as the daily residence of Demon Wing Venerable, used for receiving guests, guiding disciples, and so on.

As Qin Cang enters the pagoda, a tall figure appears out of thin air.

The person who arrived is none other than Demon Wing Venerable. He has a rigid face and a tall, upright stature, standing over three meters tall. His bronze skin is covered in dark gold secret patterns, which is said to be a unique characteristic of the secret technique he cultivates.

On his back grows a pair of wings, dark purple in color with a unique crystalline texture. Rumor has it that Demon Wing Venerable's wings absorbed a special treasure, after which his talent soared, and he created a flight secret technique based on these wings, making his speed top-tier among the Venerable realm.

Demon Wing Venerable wears black armor, which is wreathed in a faint purple glow and occasionally erupts with black-purple flames.

"Disciple pays respects to Teacher." Qin Cang bows respectfully.

It looks quite comical, as Qin Cang belongs to the Yan God Clan, whose members are typically eight to ten meters tall, while Demon Wing Venerable is only a little over three meters tall.

"Hahaha, as expected of my disciple, you haven't shamed your teacher. You have only been cultivating for seven thousand years, yet you have already cleared the 16th Level of the Sky Bridge and even cleared the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain, which no one has been able to clear for a full 15 million eras. Not bad, not bad at all, you have truly brought honor to your teacher." Demon Wing Venerable looks at Qin Cang, feeling a million times satisfied.

After all, at their level, there is basically no hope of breaking through; not only has their talent reached its limit, but their hearts have also scattered, lacking the courage to forge ahead that they had in their youth.

Venerables in this situation are naturally not few within the Human Race and the Hong Alliance, and these people form their own small circles, gathering together to drink and boast.

Since they have no hope of breaking through, what they talk about most is naturally the juniors of their respective races and their own disciples.

Demon Wing Venerable previously had five great disciples; excluding the fifth disciple who had already fallen, the remaining four included two Venerables, one King limit, and one King invincible—the quality could be said to be extremely high.

But who wouldn't want their disciple to be more talented and more monstrous?

No one would refuse that.

Demon Wing Venerable had not taken on any disciples for countless years, only finally deciding to take Qin Cang as his disciple a few years ago.

Qin Cang has only been cultivating for seven thousand years, yet he has cleared both the Universe Level and Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountains.

His aptitude is nothing short of monstrous.

One must know that the World Lord stage is when cultivation speed is at its fastest. Qin Cang is currently only at the Domain Lord level and has not yet broken through to the World Lord level; if he were to break through to the World Lord level, how terrifying would his cultivation speed be?

Perhaps in the next few hundred thousand years, the Human Race will have another Venerable.

"Disciple, I told you back then that if you could clear the Domain Lord Level Primal Sky Mountain within ten thousand years, I would gift you another treasure.

Back then, you only spent less than two thousand years clearing the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain, and you told me you wanted materials to cultivate Star-Eating Grass. I agreed, but I haven't fulfilled that promise until now.

So, now that you are about to break through to the World Lord level, tell me the second item you want, and I will do my best to satisfy you.

I will have it sent to your manor along with the materials for the Star-Eating Grass and the World Lord Level Nutrient Solution later." Demon Wing Venerable waves his hand, making the decision on the spot, clearly intending for Qin Cang to speak his mind.

"Teacher, I do indeed have one thing I have always wanted," Qin Cang says.

"Hahaha, just say it. There shouldn't be any treasure you can use that I cannot get my hands on. Speak up; stating your request is your part, and leave the rest to me," Demon Wing Venerable laughs heartily, as if to show that his disciple's worries are not worth mentioning.

"Since that is the case, I will speak plainly: I wish to possess the Ability of Clones, just like you, Teacher."
