Clone

Inside one of the halls in huge Palace in Avren's consciousness.

It was a vast dark space. No land, no sky, no sea. Just an infinite dark space.

In that space, Avren was sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed. No energy could be felt from him at all, as if he's an ordinary mortal.

Suddenly, the area around him turned bright and flames started appearing around him forming a giant flame tornado.

This heat coming from this flame surpassed any flame he ever witnessed. That scorching heat...The level of that flame had surpassed the limit that shackled mortals.

A moment later, the flame tornado disappeared and immediately after, A sea of lightning surrounded him. The might of the lightning gave of the same feeling of the flame, free from the shackles of mortality!

One phenomenon after another. Flames, lightning, ice, light, darkness...etc. All sorts of manifestation appeared consecutively.

Swoosh!

Ger suddenly appeared inside the dark space. He looked at Avren and couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.

'Saint Laws! This brat... He comprehended the Saint Laws after only one week?! And it's not just one or two... What a freak!'

Sometime later, all the strange phenomena disappeared and Avren opened his eyes. His eyes were as if an abyss, giving off the feeling of immeasurable might.

'Saint Laws, huh. I never expected to comprehend it so quickly.' Avren thought.

This hall is called the Profound Laws Hall. Comprehending Laws here was countless times more efficient than outside.

Besides, in comprehending the Laws, Avren didn't exert any effort at all. He even felt as if the Laws were submitting on their own accord!

In just one week, he managed to comprehend Mortal Laws and the higher-grade Saint Laws.

Avren stood up and noticed Ger standing some distance away. His body flashed and appeared before him.

"Ger! Why are you here?" Avren asked, smiling.

Ger inspected Avren carefully. Compared to one week before, Avren seems to have gone through complete transformation.

Ger sighed and said: "You little punk, you never cease to amaze me. Anyway, I'm here to tell you that it's been a week already."

Avren eyes lit up and his lips curled up a little.

"Hehe. So it's time finally! I feel like I have been trapped for so long. It's time to free my self a little." A wild light appeared at Avren's eyes as he spoke.

His body suddenly vanished and appeared outside the hall.

"By the way Ger, how many people on Earth are still stronger than me now?" He said while turning to look at Ger, who just appeared beside him.

"Mm, if we talk about the level of Cultivation Base alone, there are quite a few who are higher than you. As for real combat power, you'll have to experience it yourself!" Ger said indifferently.

Excitement flashed through Avren's eyes. In the past week, he increased his power explosively. It's time to let loose a little.

Ger saw his excitement and taunted. "You insisted to wait for a week. Now that the week has passed, look at how excited you are. You're like a child excited for candy."

"Hahaha. I am indeed a bit excited right now!" Avren laughed in a carefree manner.

"So, what are your plans?" Ger asked.

Avren thought for a while then said: "Right now, I have 3 issues to deal with. My father's debt, that clan head and Arlen. Of the three, I feel Arlen's problem would be the most difficult to deal with. And my father's debt can't just be solved with power. So, I'll start with that clan head!" Avren said and then his body disappeared.

........

In Avren's room.

It was already morning. Avren opened his eyes and let out a long breath. He could sense his mom making breakfast in the kitchen. As for his sister, she was still asleep. He couldn't sense his dad so he assumed that he went to work.

Six days ago, his father and mother came back from the hospital after completing all the check-ups. His mother's condition made all the doctors amazed.

Even so, they didn't want to discharge her immediately. But, the head manager of the hospital gave his permission to discharge her.

After she came back, her body didn't show any unusual symptoms, which made Avren very relieved.

'Mm, everything is good. Now, I should pay a visit to that Clan Head. But I can't just leave like that.'

Avren was thinking of a way to leave without making his parents worry. And suddenly his eyes lit up.

'I should just leave a clone here!'

A clone is formed by condensing a body using Qi and then fusing it with a strand of their soul. But only Spirit Realm Cultivators could afford to separate a strand of their soul without dying. Even so, it would harm their foundation.

Only Spirit Kings could make a clone without worrying about any consequences!

Avren opened his hands and Origin Source Qi started flowing out. It came together and formed a body that was identical to Avren's. Even his clothes were formed as well.

After condensing the clone, A transparent strand of his soul came out of his forehead, fusing with the clone.

Crack!

But soon, the clone cracked apart and the Origin Source Qi dispersed and returned to Avren's body, leaving the strand of his soul floating.

Witnessing this, Avren wasn't too surprised.

'It seems the Origin Source Qi is too powerful to be controlled by a mere strand of soul. Even if my soul is countless times more powerful than those at the same stage, it's still no good.'

Feeling helpless, Avren waved his hand and a clone formed once more. But this time he didn't use Origin Source Qi.

'I guess Spirit Qi will do for now. Although it's much weaker but it can't be helped.'

Then the strand of soul entered the newly formed clone. And he finally opened his eyes.

The two 'Avrens' looked at each other. There was no need to talk as their will was the same.

After solving the clone problem, Avren's true body vanished, leaving the clone alone in the room.
