SCP Gacha System In A Cultivation World

Over the course of multiple days, eventually, Wen and his many clones passed out all the talismans they had to the residents of Xuanyin City. Out of the original number of clones, completing this task wiped their numbers out by more than 75%. To keep their origins a secret, any captured or caught clones committed suicide since their lives were completely replaceable. Xuanyin City was not a large city. To complete a task like this in complete secrecy was impossible in the first place since the clones needed to rely on people other than themselves. 

A majority of the clones that got caught were simply due to the residents of Xuanyin City not being careful enough around the Three Great Sects. This leaked the news of some organization going against the Three Great Sects and further increased the surveillance inside Xuanyin City. Daily nightly hunts were made by the Three Great Sects in hopes of capturing this opposing force but the information network made by the clones was not to be underestimated. Any new information gained by a clone could be instantly shared with all other clones and the original once they’ve died. 

This unexpected benefit was exploited immensely by Wen once he found out about it. Depending on the urgency and importance of certain information, a clone could choose to instantly take their own life in order to benefit the group as a whole. Not to mention, it could be used to further increase Wen’s training. If others were said to train at a rate of 80 or 70 percent, Wen would be dozens on top of dozens of times faster than that. 

Wen was confident in saying that besides Jing herself and maybe the sealed Hu Tao, he was the strongest Angel around. Even though he was nothing more than a pacifist now, Wen was still quite proud of his unfairly gained strength. Whether it be mental skills or physical ones, Wen was training them all. The art of war through trying to win a hundred games of chess in a row, raising his martial arts to the completion realm, cooking, painting, sculpting, arrays, blacksmithing, sewing, and any other skills he could get his hands on. 

Trying to absorb all this knowledge and skills forced Wen into changing his core martial arts multiple times but Wen didn’t regret it in the slightest because each clone could practice a new set of martial arts! Eventually, he’ll gain knowledge of hundreds upon hundreds of martial arts in the near future. Mastering any martial arts he comes across will be as simple as taking a single look through the directions and utilizing his past experiences to comprehend them instantly! 

After sharing this information with Jing, Wen’s role in Heaven’s Angel became a thousand times more significant! He would be the Lead Instructor for all future members, even the core angels. Instructing them on cultivation when they need it, instructing the newest members of Heaven’s Angels, and bolstering the strength and skills of its members. His knowledge and the ability to pass on that knowledge were too powerful to be ignored or wasted! Jing didn’t give him a chance to waste this ability. His experience and knowledge would be used for their group if he wanted to continue living the idle life he had now. 

Wen had no reason to refuse. His clones would do all the teaching for the most part. In fact, a few of his clones were already being sent to Cloud Dragon City in order to support the Heavenly Association businesses. Honestly, it didn’t matter where the clones were sent, Wen didn’t believe that they would have any trouble teaching the members on account of ability. He was the senior disciple of his old master, so, it wasn’t like he had no experience in teaching and leading others. 

“I believe that’s everyone.” An elder grandma disguised clone wiped the sweat off her forehead. 

“Let’s activate the array and then get out of here. I’m tired of dying, you know?”  

“I’m just grateful it’s so quick and painless.” 

Wen, the first clone to arrive at Xuanyin City, activated the array that surrounded Xuanyin City. Thanks to Hu Tao’s right-hand man, it didn’t take any effort at all on Wen’s part in setting them up. Abhaya placed them on the first day of their task and left immediately after just like he was asked. Now, the movement array created by Jing began to come into play. 

All those that held the talismans passed out by the clones began disappearing from Xuanyin City one by one. Wandering cultivators that enjoyed the benefits of being associated with the Heavenly Association Group, mortals originally from Xuanyin City that enjoyed the service given to them by the Heavenly Association Group, and spies from the Three Great Sects that managed to steal talismans from residents who weren’t sneaky enough. 

The clones all cheered in joy for completing their task before committing suicide. Wen, the original back at the Golden Serpent Sect, immediately started practicing his cultivation technique to combat the mass amount of knowledge pouring into his brain. He sent one of his duplicates off to tell Jing that he completed his latest task with few issues but nothing that couldn’t be taken care of by the Heavenly Association along with the clones sent to aid them. 

“I told those damn clones to not die at the same time when there’s so many of them...” Wen complained as he continued to cultivate. 

“Did we really escape...?” A former resident of Xuanyin City questioned. 

“I knew I shouldn’t have ever doubted the Heavenly Association!” A wandering cultivator exclaimed. 

“Wow, this city is far bigger than Xuanyin City...” 

Multiple buildings taller than even some of the huge trees in the Immortal Forest lied in front of the massive group of people. In the distance, they could see dozens of people wandering the streets, vendors selling their products, people walking in and out of buildings, and the wonder of a big city. Their first instinct was to explore but a small cough gathered their attention. 

“Alright ya bastards, follow behind me to the Auction Hall, and don’t wander off unless ya want your head cracked in.” A rather tall and muscular woman threatened. 

However, the crowd was quite pleased and happy to hear the bandit-like tone from the woman. To them, that voice was nothing other than the pleasing voice of those from the Heavenly Association Group! They’d be less willing to follow if they were spoken to like nobles and cultivators. Smiles filled the faces of those from Xuanyin City as they followed behind the annoyed bandit woman happily chatting along. 

“Damn weirdos... Why’d I have to get stuck bringing them to HQ?” She muttered under her breath. 

The large group was soon brought into the auction hall owned by the Heavenly Association Group. It was the first store of their group in Cloud Dragon City and would spearhead a majority of their earnings inside the city. Of course, they had some competition with the famously known Commerical Chamber’s Auction Hall that everyone inside and around Cloud Dragon City knew of but this wasn’t a challenge that the Heavenly Association was afraid of taking on. In a few months or years, it would be their Heavenly Treasures that everyone knew of. 

“Hmm, I don’t have any information on ya’. Wait a fucking second, alright?” A man that was too large for his own good got up from the tiny seat and whispered into the ears of someone. 

The spy from the Nine Swords Sect squinted his eyes as he saw this. Was it possible that the Heavenly Association managed to extract information from everyone that worked with them? Perhaps it was foolish to use a fake name in an attempt to infiltrate the Heavenly Association... But why would such a group require to know of all of its members to such an extent? 

“Just to make sure, you aren’t some lost bastard from Cloud Dragon City that wandered in here, are ya’?” He came over to ask. 

“Aigoo... Is that bad?” The Nine Swords Sect disciple quickly changed his story as he saw some of his associates being brought to a separate room. 

“Damn stupid bastard making my work harder on me...” The giant softly cursed under his breath. 

‘I can hear you, you know!?’ The disciple wanted to chop this rude giant in half with his blade but stayed his hand. 

Right now, Guhan was deep in enemy territory and his goal was simply gathering and passing on information about the Heavenly Association. He couldn’t afford to cause any trouble or gain suspicion from the Heavenly Association.  

“Alright, what the hell do you want? Why are you here?” The giant questioned. 

“Isn’t this an auction hall? Obviously, I'm here to sell!” Guhan slammed his core sword arts on the desk along with some other precious resources he planned to use for himself.  

Tears wanted to force themselves from his tear ducts but Guhan refused to let them fall. If his infiltration went well, the number of resources that would fall his way would easily dwarf these. With this in mind, Guhan didn’t hesitate to take out his most valuable items from his storage ring to sell.  

“Kukuku. This is some decent stuff... I don’t know what kind of shit you ran into that you need to sell some stuff like this but we at the Heavenly Association will happily take it to put up for auction.” The giant chuckled in joy. 

‘I will destroy this organization...’ Guhan vowed.
