In the wu dong qian kun universe their cultivation began from tempered body, Earthly yuan, Heavenly Yuan, Yuan Dan, Form creation, Qi creation, manifestation, Nirvana, Profound life, profound death, Samsara, Reincarnation and Ancestor. Their of course the stage where canon Lin dong unlocked called Dimension master by using the dimensional Fetus that absorbed a different energy called Zenith energy or primordial chaos Light.
Caelum has not used for it as the requirement of having it is removing Yuan and Mental energy which he won't ever do as it was helping him refine what he needed. The people are impatience and forget having a foundation because most people try to advance tempered body stage without properly fixing their body.
It was like stacking wood over and over without draying the glue or placing the necessary support for the higher pieces. This where people always falls to achieve and remain stagnant in their foundation as they grew impatient. Caelum always create things that would maintain their foundation to ensured the future.
He took the passing time to teach Qing Tan and Lin dong how to temper their body in the best way that their power remain what they breakthrough but their physical strength far surpasses it. Qing Tan who's able to reach advance stage of [Dao of Yin] slowly becoming a cold beauty that surprised her parent.
She was becoming mature but still act innocent time to time. Qing Tan had grown fond of Caelum each passing time but remain diligent in her training trying to impressed Caelum which he is. Meanwhile, Lin Dong not far behind with his [Dao of heart] that also reach Advance level which is surprising.
"Master you never told us what your cultivation!?" (Qing Tan)
"I'm curious too, Master. How strong are you?"
"Hahhaha well I'm quite weak if that's what your curious."
"Bleh come on tell us?"
"Once you reach Nirvana stage in one year."
Caelum laughed seeing the young boy gulped since it was near to accomplished what he told especially his progress was slowed down by the bracelet to ensure his foundation is firm. He stood up from the rocked then showcase a bit of his power which was the [Heaven Buddha palm] that descended from the sky and flatten mountain range shocking everyone. The two children were baffled from the might of their master.
He saw lord marten jaw dropped and couldn't comprehend what level of martial art it was which. Caelum had taken the [8 desolate palm] from Lin xiao then used it to recreate the Buddha palm from Kung fu hassle. This attack had shown to increased his mental energy because it was also using a Buddhist teaching on it.
"Amazing! That was unbelievable!!"(Qing tan)
"Master will we ever be able to do that!?" (Lin dong)
"Nope! Hahahaha"
Caelum like messing with the kid since he never wavered even after borderline torturing him in training yet his undying will prove its worth. He was even cultivate the 'Heartforce' without even noticing. Though, Caelum hadn't gifted him the 'Heartforce' cultivation as he may not ready for it.
"Well since I've been training you for couple of days now then you can day off today but first here."
He then presented them with their sect outfit which was akin to Nox uniform but was wuxia robes instead of modern clothes. Caelum added some symbol engraving that make them near indestructible and won't be use anyone. It wasn't created using his [essence of crafter] as it would be far too op gift. Qing Tan and Lin dong eyes glimmer seeing the outfit.
"Try dropping blood on it…"
Caelum then prick them to let a drip of blood stin the clothes that glowed then appeared wearing by Lin dong and Qing tan. The former was shocked to see the clothes sudden appeared while Qing tan cutely turning looking herself at every angle and blush when he notice caelum looking.
He explained about its function which able to hide the clothes using their will then cupped their hands thanking Caelum who only shook his head.
"No need to thank me as you are now the Heaven defying Sect. Remember defy the heavens and transcend everything!"
"Yes master!"
Afterwards, Lin dong kept training most likely use the stone talisman while Qing tan went to town with Caelum who accepted the offer since he hadn't explored the Yan City. He had the [Divine leakless body] which won't let any energy leak as long he doesn't purposely do so. Therefore, the people hadn't notice his strength but still gain people gaze because of Qing Tan who grown more beautiful.
She was another class of beauty after cultivating the [Dao of Yin] able to attract yang which are male. However, her gaze could make anyone think twice yet still act like her old self. Caelum remain indifferent from their gazes and took the opportunity to steals people luck which was horrible people.
"Qing Tan is that you!?"
From behind them was female voice then saw young girl with pink hair tied in ponytail and hahd fiery aura around her. She seem to a woman who's head strong and violent perfect in cultivating [Dao of flames]. The young girl was Lin Xia who was cousins of Lin dong. Caelum always appreciate another beauty and a possible new disciple to be his.
"Oh Lin Xia how are you been!?"
Lin Xia was baffled seeing the cute and innocent Qing Tan had change into much more refine and elegant beauty but once she notice Caelum instantly made her froze. It made her skip a bit seeing his flawless skin and perfect body cause her mind to ran wild.
"Who is this, Qing Tan? From her name I could guess she's part of your family?"
"Yes, Master! This person is my cousin Lin Xia."
"…G-Greetings Senior, this name is Lin Xia."
Lin Xia who heard her call him master surprised that the person is an expert cultivator and quickly tried to act respectful despite her clumsy manners. She cupped her hands and introduce herself while stuttering.
"Its nice meeting you, Lin xia. You may call me Tianzun as my real name is far too foreign."
"T-Then Lin xia call Senior Tianzun."
"No problem, Anyway do you accompany us? It would be grateful to show me around."
Lin xia agreed while blushing since she was stull a young girl and can't contain her mind when looking at him. He doesn't mind and receive some question from her which caelum vaguely answered. She was shocked to hear that Qing Tan had Reach six stage of tempered same with Lin dong while Lin Xia still stuck at eight stage.
Caelum let her find how their training is and saw Lin dong doing his training almost like torture where he had to train on top of stone pillar to increase his movement and evasion while training his martial art skills.
He took the privilege to copy the [8 penetrating Echoes] turning into [Heaven defying piercer] which produce thundering sound and contained the law of vibrations. His comprehension on the law was only at Mind stage but enough to register inside his system which was at the middle stage now.
Lin xia was dumbstruck seeing how Lin dong able to remain on the pillar despite how they seem. She thought it was torture but when Caelum explained about the bracelets cause her mouth to dropped.
"His been doing this for couple days!? How come his still on sixth stage and not higher!?"
"Well my training is special focusing more on foundation than ascension. This why those that lack the foundation always fails their tribulation. Well it also his Undying will able to keep going if not him then most of them are dead."
"This is ridiculous!? Aren't trying to kill him!"
"If you have that mindset then you will remain stagnant. Only face with small pebble already crumbling but I must ask do you wish to be my student? Perhaps it may help you grow more understanding how becoming strong works."
He doesn't like her mindset but Caelum could see her talent was higher than Lin dong. She contemplate about accepting but ended up halting for her decision which Caelum let her. Lin Xia returned home while thinking about the offer and left Lin dong and Qing Tan to trained grown to defeat a Yuan Dan stage. It was due to their Dao that has reach basic stage.
The next couple of days, the Lin family had gathered for a tournament to select representative in fighting in three way battle of Lin, lei and xei family in Qingyang Town.
