ONE WEEK LATER
"Hello Ethan" said Ethan.
"Hello to you too Ethan" responded another Ethan.
Ethan was all smiles as he moved around a completely naked replica of himself, dripped in golden liquid in his master bedroom.
On the floor of his room, there was a large tub made of a material that looked like oak wood but gave off a more powerful aura.
Inside the tub was a shimmering golden liquid, same liquid that was splastered all over the body of this new Ethan.
Ethan now staring at himself from a double perspective, was overjoyed by his new creation.
'who knew this would be so overpowered ?'
[Stunt Double Tome [grade(celestial)]
[Description:
Grow an exact replica of yourself that shares the same consciousness, using celestial grade treasures.
As long as the original consciousness is alive, the replica can recover from any damage, provided that its not completely obliterated before getting a chance to recover.
The replica receives fifty percent of the original's strength at every realm without affecting the actual strength of the original.
The replica grows in strength along with the host for eternity.

'This is such a busted existence, at any level of my strength, it directly share's fifty percent?'
'considering the type of foundation I will be building my strength upon, how strong would this stunt double become when I get to say... true immortal realm ? Or higher ? '
'I asked the system sometime this week and it gave me a detailed list of the cultivation realms, both of this mortal world and the immortal world.'
'some I've already heard about or guesed but most I've never even heard of.'
'The cultivation realms in the mortal world from low to high are as follow: '
'Body strengthening realm,
Qi gathering realm,
Founding establishment realm,
Core building realm,
Core integration realm,
Spirit formation realm ,
Spirit integration realm,
Spirit separation realm,
Tribulation transcendence,
Mahayana realm '
'All these also have the four minor levels of each, which are the early, mid, late and peak.'
'The Mahayana realm is infact not a realm that should exist in this mortal world'
'This is an existence that should have left the mortal world when they got to the tribulation transcendence realm.'
'But by applying some means or the other, actually build strength in the tribulation transcendence realm and finally surpassed that realm.'
'Now unlike beings of the tribulation transcendence realm who need to be careful at all times of the mortal world rules detecting thier presence and ejecting them to the immortal realm.'
'Beings of the Mahayana realm are more or less invincible to the rules of the mortal world.'
'Only problem is, this is where thier growth stops, because the mortal world lacks the type of qi or resources they require to grow stronger.'
'Unless they come upon fortuitous encounters, try other unorthodox methods, or better still just ascend to the immortal world, they will continue to remain at that realm'
'But once ascended to the immortal world, they will be under the rules of the heavenly Dao and can't return to any mortal world without risking obliteration or suffering severe backlash if they used some shielding treasure.'
'Though there are barren or ownerless mortal worlds or small worlds without rules or laws where any being can occupy or use, but that's by the way.'
'Then there are the power levels in the immortal realm, starting from ..
'infant immortal,
Adult immortal,
True immortal,
Immortal Saint,
Immortal Ruler,
Immortal King,
Immortal Sovereign,
Immortal Emperor.'
'All also having the four minor levels of early , mid , late and peak.'
'Immortal emperor being the highest known realm in the immortal world'
'For every universe, there is just one Immortal world.'
'Below that are billions of mortal worlds.'
'And below that are uncountable number of small worlds.'
'For realms above Immortal emperor, the system required me to at least get to the limits of this mortal world first before probing for more '
'Though I used up the given celestial grade treasures to grow this new body over the week, it won't be impossible to get more later from the system.'
'And I can just keep spamming more copies of myself out there, all the while relaxing in comfort at home.'
'I will become the first immortal emperor who rules from his basement.'
'Am not sure if I want a family yet but nobody knows the future, and even if I do start a family and had kids, they'd also be extremely cautious.'
'It will be a big happy overly cautious family, growing monsters in basements.'
' Actually... that doesn't sound half bad... safety in numbers right ?'
'but first, there are things to do'
Ethan prime, sat in a lotus position, ready to start cultivating and mastering the various technique's in his inventory.
While Ethan the stunt double, got dressed in a purple robe with flame trimmings at the edges, stepped out of his courtyard and into the afternoon heat.
The maids and guards watching this were slack jawed as they stared at the recluse prince step out of his hole after an entire week.
And as Ethan stepped outside, two maids secretly bolted in different directions, probably to go report to thier real masters.
Ethan stood just outside his courtyard as he stared into the distance.
'If I want to ensure my safety and that of my family in this cultivation world, first thing I need is information.' ethan thought silently
'information is power, and I need to get that power under me by any means necessary'
"Silent Parrot"
"Here I come"
