Avatars
The young man was shocked and immediately tried to manipulate his new bodies.
He attempted to move and realized, surprisingly, the avatars responded with ease. He then began to explore the environment around him through his new bodies.
"EHHH!!" Shouts of surprise echoed as the avatars encountered nearby people.
One of the avatars observed a middle-aged man, imposing and majestic, with an aura of authority. Despite being dressed in simple burlap clothes, his commanding presence couldn't be hidden. However, his majesty was undone when he let out a frightened scream: "EHHH!!"
Another man in this avatar's vision was middle-aged, with a fierce face and imposing physique. His appearance displayed a strength that would make anyone hesitate before confronting him. However, his fierceness was nullified by a startled scream: "EHHH!!"
Finally, the last man appeared calmer, with a rounded build and Chinese mustaches. His shrewd expression conveyed a sense of wealth and cunning. He also joined in the chorus of "EHHH!!"
Seeing the reactions of the three, the young man had a sudden inspiration.
Manipulating his avatars, he soon saw the three men throw their arms up.
'They are my avatars! I scared myself with my own avatars, hahaha! Good thing no one saw!' The young man shook his head, amused with himself.
He then activated the analysis function available in his avatar system.

'This... Foundation Establishment right at the start? Is that strong or weak?! AND HOW THE HELL DOES THIS HELP ME?!' The young man exclaimed mentally, frustrated.
He looked around and noticed that the environment of the avatars seemed completely different from his own. Despite his avatars being together, they were separate from his main body.
Ding!
[The host and sect avatars are summoned in random locations. The host is advised to use the sect leader avatar to set the summoning coordinates for future summons. Only the sect leader can set and change these coordinates.]
'Ugh! So I'm alone... Looks like these avatars will only be useful if I can survive and get out of this forest.' The young man clenched his fists, frustrated.
Ding!
[The host need not worry about death! If the host dies, they will respawn in the lowest-ranking avatar in the sect. As long as there are avatars, the host cannot truly die.]
The young man's face shifted from anger to relief.
'You're amazing, system! I love you so much!!' The young man cheered upon learning he was immortal for now, and began to move forward in the forest with an arrogant attitude.
Ding!
[Host, remember that losing an avatar is permanent and cannot be recovered. Losing an avatar is not desirable for the host.]
Upon hearing the system's warning, the young man immediately stopped and became more cautious.
'System, what do you mean by "not desirable"?' The young man asked, curious.
Ding!
[To better explain, avatars function like servers connected to the host. Each server bears its own consumption, allowing the host to experience the avatars' activities without exhausting their own energy. That is, the host can learn to make pills with one avatar, fight with another, and perform various activities without tiring, reaping all the benefits.]
The young man was surprised to hear this. He hadn't considered this possibility before.
Ding!
[Additionally, the number of elder avatars is counted for the next evolution. If the host loses one, they will need to find a real person with the necessary qualifications to inherit the position before the upgrade can occur. If an elder is missing, their qualifications will have to be filled at all subsequent levels, as lost clones cannot be replaced.]
The system clarified, which made the young man become more serious.
'I see, so I need to do everything I can to avoid losing any avatars, right? Losing avatars makes upgrading the sect problematic.' The young man pondered.
'System, the realms of the avatars are based on my cultivation, right? Show me the panel with this information,' the young man ordered.
Ding!
[Position - Cultivation
Ancestor - 3 Realms above the Host
Sect Leader - 2 Realms above the Host
Inner Elder - 1 Realm above the Host
Outer Elder - Host's Realm]
'Huh? Why didn't I receive ancestors or outer elders?' The young man asked, curious.
Ding!
[Sect level 0 does not have ancestors or outer elders.]
'Ah, makes sense. A sect that hasn't even been created shouldn't have those things. At least a sect leader and a few elders are enough for now.' The young man reflected, accepting the situation.
'How can I level up the sect, system?' The young man asked, determined.
Ding!
[Conditions to become a Qi Refining sect:
1 - Sect Leader at advanced Qi Refining level.
2 - Two inner elders at mid Qi Refining level.
3 - Two disciples with good qualifications.
4 - Train two disciples to the 1st level of Qi Refining.]
'Hmm, the first is already done. The problem is the second, and the third shouldn't be too hard. The fourth... I don't have an inheritance for cultivators, so it's impossible for now.' The young man pondered, trying to make a plan.
'For now, I'll get out of this forest while analyzing the environment of my avatars. Luckily, they're together, and my avatar at the Foundation Establishment level should be able to protect the two elder avatars.'
