Chapter 142: Major Realms (2/2)
”Then what about the Immortal realm?”
”I can't say. Very little is known about that realm,” the elder replied.
The immortal realm was a realm of myths and legends that only a few of the emperors could reach. Immortal Realm Cultivators were seen as the gods of cultivators. Only the most renowned and legendary of cultivators had ever reached that realm.
As interesting as it all sounded, Xiao Fang was starting to feel a bit bitter. He couldn't understand why she would wager a spirit cultivation technique if she didn't have any techniques to give.
”Elder, since you lost the bet, you should follow through on that promise.”
”I already told you it's impossible, you little brat. The only way I could give you a technique is if you met all the prerequisites to learning it, but considering how low your cultivation realm is, I wouldn't even be able to give you my weakest one.”
”Then, what about the technique your spirit beast used?”
”You want to learn how to make a [ Solid Clone ]?” She asked with a confused expression.
”Yes, I would,” Xiao Fang replied.
”Why would you want to learn that? Didn't you realize how useless the technique was during your fight against it?”
”I don't plan on leaving here empty handed,” Xiao Fang replied simply.
”Fine, let's just get this over with,” the elder said begrudgingly.
The elder didn't understand why he would want a technique like that. It couldn't even be considered a technique, but a useless skill to her.
What she didn't know was that Xiao Fang had learned a lot about the Black Paradise sect from watching the annual tournament every year, and by listening to his mother's stories. So he could say with confidence that they definitely didn't teach that technique at the sect.
The elder allowed the information for the technique to transfer over to Xiao Fang.
Once he received the information, he quickly discovered that the technique was far more complicated than he expected it to be. Even though the prerequisites for the technique was only at the Spirit Core realm, he could tell that it would take him a lot longer than any other technique he had to master.

[ Solid Clone ]
> Prerequisite: Spirit Core realm.
> Create a solid illusory clone.
> The strength of the clone will be equal to the caster's body cultivation realm.

Xiao Fang was a bit surprised. He knew every cultivation method had at least one technique that would grow with the cultivator. For the [ Illusory body ] method, it was thought to only be the [ Illusory Clone ] technique, but now it seemed that he found another.
”Thank you elder,” Xiao Fang thanked her genuinely.
Despite everything she put him through, he wasn't so blind to not see how much he had gained from it.
The elder nodded approvingly then said, ”No need for thanks. I lost the bet. If you return to me with a higher cultivation realm then I will reward you properly in the future.”
In the next moment, she waved her hand, sending Xiao Fang back into his physical body, then looked back at her spirit beast. It was pretty beaten up, but it was still obediently taking a knee to her.
”He's gone now, you can drop the act.”
The spirit beast suddenly healed itself back to perfect health in an instant.
”Why did you let him beat you up like that?” The elder questioned it.
”Fist and clones. It seemed as if that was all he was capable of. I wasn't expecting him to already know how to use his lightning spirit attribute like that at the end,” the spirit beast said.
The spirit beast might've been weaker than Xiao Fang, but it had some powerful Divine Spirit realm techniques it could use against him. So if the spirit beast went all out, there was a chance it could've tipped the battle in its favor.
However, since they were both being constantly healed, there was no point in treating it like a real match. The spirit beast could overpower Xiao Fang with its Divine Spirit techniques, but it couldn't use them forever. Since it wasn't a real fight, it didn't take it all too seriously. What it didn't expect was for Xiao Fang to catch it and torture it with his lightning spirit attribute at the end.
”You only have yourself to blame for that,” the elder lectured before sending the Spirit Beast back into her body.

Outside of the spirit cauldron, Xiao Hei and Li Xiang watched in shock as they saw something they didn't expect to see.
The door to the spirit cauldron was suddenly opening, grabbing the attention of the girls.
”Long Wang, you made it out in time. But...” Li Xiang paused midsentence.
Even though he had his blindfold on, Xiao Fang could still sense the strange expressions they all had on their faces.
No one could understand what they were seeing, but when Xiao Fang scanned the room he didn't notice anything strange, but then it finally dawned on him.
How many lights were shining around the cauldron? He didn't do any tests, but the elder still put him into a class because he completed her challenge.
Were there 3 lights around the cauldron or where there none. The only thing that mattered was the class the elder had put on his arm, but he was still curious to know if the cauldron was shining or not.
Since no one was saying anything, he finally asked.
”So... how did I do?”
