am in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have a demonic beast clone

In a world where human life is cheap and cultivation is key to survival, Zhou Ding finds himself transmigrated to this unforgiving realm as a disciple of Huangfeng Valley. Initially, his prospects seem limited, with only three spiritual roots and no fortuitous encounters to aid his progress, relegating his highest potential to merely achieving Foundation Establishment. However, his fate takes a dramatic turn with the acquisition of a demonic beast clone, the Golden-Eyed Rat. This clone holds the key to Zhou Ding's unprecedented growth, as every advancement it makes directly strengthens his physical body. Conversely, breakthroughs in Zhou Ding's cultivation feed back to the Golden-Eyed Rat, triggering mutations and awakenings of new innate abilities. As he explores this symbiotic relationship, Zhou Ding discovers powerful techniques such as the Earth Listening Technique, which reveals worldly treasures, and the Earth Escape Technique, allowing for unimpeded underground travel. Furthermore, he awakens formidable innate abilities including the Clone Technique, Void Travel, and Soul-Capturing Eyes. Through repeated strengthening and cultivation, Zhou Ding's body transforms into that of a monstrous immortal being, defying the initial limitations of his humble beginnings and paving the way for an extraordinary journey.
