The second book never uses its true name from the very beginning of cultivation, and the revealed realm is always a major level lower than the normal realm. The third book is, so far, the most cautious clone novel; the clones have their own consciousness and can find treasures on their own. Although their realm increases rapidly, it's all reasonable.
