Cultivation and Progress

Long Tian's POV:

I was now facing my friends in my room. I looked at them and said, "Now our first objective is completed by entering into the draconic realm and joining a sect. Now we should improve our cultivations to a higher realm at a faster rate but also solidifying our base. This place is where the strong trample the weak like elephant squashing the ant. This place contains crouching tigers and hidden dragons. We must step up our game and improve, else we would be trampled. We are already looked down by others due to our background and the only thing they are wary of us is due to our spiritual roots.

If we fail to cultivate further despite the spiritual roots, we would be the laughing stock of the institute and also bring disgrace to our teacher. We must bring glory to both the Flory city and our teacher. For that, I have a plan. Hear me out.". Saying this, I took the painting of Samsara. Everyone was mesmerised by the painting. I looked at them and said, "This Painting is known as the painting of Samsara. It is a Space-Time artefact which alters the space and time inside the painting. One day in the outside world is 6 months inside the painting." Everyone was shocked due to this info except Xiao Ning'er.

I continued, "This painting is filled with Heavenly Energy to the brim. Cultivating here would improve our strength. But I would like to put a rule here. We would use this painting once in a month. This is due to prevent suspicion due to a sudden increase in strength to a higher realm and to our physical development. That is why we would use it once in a month. And also too much increase in strength might leave us with fewer opponents to refine our skill. Many might start to follow us and covet our treasure.

As Xiao Yu told us about the cultivation level, fate realm is the safest realm for now. Since we can leave a fate soul for resurrection if we died. But the downfall is that our cultivation decreases by 1 fate realm. Due to this, many would kill us and rob of our treasures. We must hone our skills and don't get our victory to our head. Arrogance leads to our downfall. So even if we grew our strength, don't get full of yourselves. The enemies here would use despicable methods to make us fall. So guys now enter the painting and use these opportunities to hone our skills and improve our cultivation.".

After nodding, one by one entered the painting. I wrote some anti-intrusion inscriptions and alarm inscriptions before entering into painting. These inscriptions would prevent anyone below Dao of Dragon realm to enter and alarm inscription would inform me if anyone intrudes. Entering inside the painting, we were greeted by sight of the majestic scene. The painting contains an entire realm inside. The land is covered by lush green forest filled with dense spiritual energy. The borders in the distance comprised of an active volcano in the east, snowy mountain in the west, windy canyons in the north and ocean in the south.

There are some regions where the thunder rains constantly and these thunder and lightning are black in colours. One place is like amegakure like always raining and some bizarre places. There are various regions with the vast area. this place is ideal for cultivating profound laws and improve our cultivations. The heavenly energy is so dense that some of them took physical forms like clouds, crystals etc. All in all, the place is simply surreal. I even thinking of bringing some good herbs to grow in this place similar to the violet jade immortal realm in AST.

Month 1:

In this month, we started to refine our physical body to improve our strength. Like Nie Li's Heavenly body technique, we created a body technique that rivals Nie Li's technique. We called it 'The Titans Body'. The Titan we (Me and Xiao Ning'er) had in our mind is obviously Thanos. He was able to beat Thor and Loki like a ragdoll with his physique itself. We used the heavenly energy to stimulate our cells and muscles to strengthen it. By doing this, we could achieve producing an enormous amount of power from our small physique equally to a titan. We then started to cultivate our physique.

Month 2:

In this month, we started to enhance our haki. By refining our martial arts, we could refine the heavenly energy in our body. A strong body can house more heavenly energy. I was able to form second fate and others were able to form the first soul, thus successfully entering into the heavenly fate realm rank. We also made a refinement to rokushiki arts and other arts.

Month 3:

In this month, we started to refine our profound laws. Profound laws really are mysterious. By mastering these laws, one can triumph over the world with this power. For example, if one is at the pinnacle of fire law, one can literally burn the void and world with a wave of his hand. We made some breakthrough by attaining enlightenment and consolidated our laws.

Month 4:

In this month, I created an inscription that can be used to manifest their inner demons and face them. By this method, we can improve our mental state and removing the stagnation in one's cultivation. If succumbed to the inner demon, they would stagnate and becomes a mindless beast for the rest of their life. Since they trained in their Soulforce and their adventure, they were able to advance successfully without recuperation. Our cultivation was able to increase further. I was able to form 3rd fate soul and they formed their second soul. With this, we could venture outside the institute and into the vast outside world.

Month 5:

In this month, we sparred with each other to identify flaws in the skills and improve fighting skills and hand to eye co-ordination. We would fight until we would fall out of exhaustion. We were able to identify our flaws and were able to rectify them. This improved our fighting prowess.

Month 6:

In the last month, we spent our time on meditating, cultivating and contemplating our actions for the past 5 months. Meditation helps to keep our mind focused and making us merge with nature. The feeling was exhilarating. Our minds were released of stress and were able to work at optimal condition. We also achieve a breakthrough in our cultivation by 1 fate realm.

During these 6 months, aside from fighting and cultivating, we also spent time with Lin Ming. The space-time beast has grown to the size of the truck. Due to saturating heavenly energy, it was able to reach the 4-star heavenly fate realm. It is like a companion to us now. My battle instinct soared like anything. My blood would boil if I find a good battle. Now I could make pinnacle heavenly Axis realm expert run for his/her money.

My observation haki now can see the future for 15 min, half an hour if coupled with time law. My armament haki can be coated in full body and can withstand attacks from the initial stage of dao of dragon realm experts, coupled with physique can withstand the middle stage of Dao of Dragon realm attacks. My Conqueror's haki can pause the world for 5 seconds and only the martial Ancestor realm experts can withstand without much damage. Now my swordsmanship can cut an entire mountain with ease.

Xiao Ning'er was able to incorporate her lightning law energy inside her body. This resulted in an Enhanced thought process, Enhanced senses, high reaction time, increased regeneration by stimulating cells through electrical signals. Coupled with her haki and sword arts, she is the deadliest member in our team. She could predict the future for 5 minutes and can hear and sense energy up to 10 km coupled with her lightning law. Her speciality lies in observation, but also proficient in armament. She cultivated her physique strength similar to Tsunade from naruto. Her slim figure contained that much explosive power.

Duan Jian is literally the tank of the team. He could withstand any attack from the peak of Dao of the dragon realm experts. Coupled with Dragon bloodline and Titan's physique, his defence is the scariest one. Even I have problems while breaking his defence. His proficiency lied in Armament haki. His full-bodied Armament haki coupled with his earth law can stand face to face with 1-star martial ancestor realm. He could sense the future for 2 minutes.

Chen Linjian is a grandmaster in staff arts. He could move his staff like the flow of the river. His attacks are precise and unpredictable. He balanced his observation and armament haki. He could see 4 minutes future and could coat his staff with armament haki. He shows the sign for awakening his conqueror's haki due to his leader qualification. His gold law could create light and heavy gold dust and also enhances his gold staff.

Ye Yan made a major breakthrough in soul cultivation. He couldn't cultivate Titan's physique due to the lack of physique. His speciality completely lies in observation haki. He could sense presence within 15km coupled with soul law. He could manipulate the souls of lower cultivation and can paralyse for the souls higher cultivation. He could see the future for 5 minutes.

Our group does not have bottleneck since we pass our inner demon. Now I looked at them and said, "We would suppress our cultivation to lower levels to avoid suspicions. My cultivation will be at 2-star heavenly fate realm and yours would be at 1-star heavenly fate realm. when fighting use mostly haki,rokushiki and physique. Also, Train while fighting but don't lose focus.". We then suppressed our cultivation and left the painting of samsara.
