Chapter 212 - Grand completion

The Nascent Soul appeared to be the younger look of Caelum with his old human features. He had wished to gain the body of the Jade Emperor but now he was regaining back what his true body should be.

A soul is a manifestation of true self which is why even how Caelum changes appearance still regains his old true self. However, the features of the Nascent Soul was akin to Enryu, the second strongest individual in the Tower of God.

If Caelum guesses, the Tower of God falls in the category of Ultraverse from their complicated and nearly impossible to calculate power system.

He returned to his room where Yu Mei laid in his bed sleeping without care in the world. Caelum only smirked, enjoying her newly formed humanoid body. He wasn't one to hate the snake legs but it doesn't suit his taste.

Taking the plumb ass and long legs into his mind Caelum decided to sleep with her for the time being. He used his Dream of Life scripture once again and began cultivating his Dao. 

Caelum had decided it was appropriate and went into his Zenith world where he separated the realms from lower, upper and Great Zenith Expanse. It would help them grow and avoid remaining stagnant.

Afterward, place the Dao tablet across the Great Zenith Expanse for the civilization to cultivate and grow. He had already given them the law he knew and now the Dao would help them grow further. 

Caelum rarely interacts with his own Inner world as interfering could ruin their growth. He made sure to place the concept of life and death that would greatly help him as the Consciousness of every lifeform is connected with caelum. From his action, the Samsara wheel began to spin around indicating his growth.

'That would be enough. These life forms hopefully gain something.'

He left his Zenith world to continue his cultivation while gaining a slight boost from the lifeform. Caelum witnesses his dantian gaining more 'Potential' from the lifeform and overflowing into his Dantian.

The energy was gradually converting into 'Potential' becoming useless over time. It did not mean the energy had no use rather their potency can't compete with 'Potential' and 'Faith'.

A 'Potential' is similar to the accumulation of thought that would then manifest into a physical item. This is similar to the conceptual weapon from Fate. This is the very reason why energy is useless due to their limits.

Regardless, Caelum doesn't plan on losing the energy and keeps nourishing himself along with his Dantian. After a while, Caelum woke up to see Yu mei breast on his face.

"So master after we return from seclusion and this what we'll be greeted?"

He heard a voice and saw Qing tan beside Ling Qingzhou as the two had the aura of a Primal Daoist. They had reached the Dao Domain level. Caelum would have congratulated but two were glaring at him and Yu Mei who gradually woke up.

"Oh good morning~"

"Hey, how long are you going to tell our master!?"

Yu Mei's eyes went wide to see the two young women whose beauty far surpasses her and an aura that was overwhelming even for her. As a woman their Yin domain was affecting her. 

She quickly understood that they had a relationship with Caelum and gave a teasing smile. Yu Mei held him more tightly causing the two to frown.

"Are you two, his lovers~?"

"Matter of fact, yes! Now if you can please let go or I'll do it myself!"(Qing Tan)

"What if I don't want to~?"

She then blasted with powerful pressure yet able to remain conscious due to the fact Caelum aura was more potent than hers. Furthermore, Caelum was protecting her to avoid hurting her.

"Enough, Qing Tan. You two, Yu Mei."

"H-Hehehe It's fun teasing them. I just want show that I'll be joining them soon~"

"Tch don't tell me you took her like pokemon again!?"(Qing Tan)

"P-Pokemon?"(Yu Mei)

"What can I say? Women always flock to me and I can't help it as this is just who I am. Anyway, how do you feel after breaking through? I think it's best if we have some breakfast."

Afterwards, the four went and ate their breakfast having conversation about their new cultivation while Yu Mei was curious to hear their discussion. It was far too foreign for her to keep up.

"Wait, Is there other ways in cultivating beside Dou Qi!?"(Yu mei)

"Humph! Of course there are countless ways in walking the path of becoming stronger! Master showed us our path and guided us."(Qing Tan)

"We cultivate things called FiendGod Body refining and the Dao."(Ling Qingzhou)

Yu Mei could not wrap her head that it was possible to grow stronger even without the use of Dou qi. If someone lost their ability to cultivate Dou qi then there is nothing more than a cripple. 

"Like I said, what is seen as the Apex is nothing more than the surface. The path to true strength is endless and eternal; only few reach and transcend the norms."

"If we the snake people give our alliance then do we have the chance to learn this?"

"Hard to say as only talented and fated people are able to cultivate it."

Caelum took a sip from his tea, washing the impurities and morning fatigue. He remained vague, enjoying her curiosity while his two disciples gave a light smirk.

"I see, if even one of our clansmen grows then it would be a great benefit for our clan!"

"Of course, only if your stubborn queen agreed with the condition I will give."

"What would that condition be?"

"I'll tell you the condition once the Queen finishes her seclusion."

Yu Mei felt disappointed and even pouted while Caelum chuckled seeing her reaction then suddenly the two women grew jealous and embraced from both sides. 

After the fiasco, Caelum explored the snake town making sure to place an illusion where the two women had snake legs. The snake people were surprised to see Yu Mei having two legs, shocked to learn that she had reached the Dou Venerate. 

"It was thanks to this person. He is here to propose an alliance with our queen to help strengthen our Clan."

"That is great news! With senior help then we surely will not be bullied by humans!"

"Yeah they had been constantly hunting our people for the past years! If not for Lady Yu and the other Snake clan leader then it would be impossible to survive."

Every snake people gave their curse towards the human race that would make it awkward for Qing Tan and Ling Qingzhou, however, they have cultivated their heart and emotion to avoid unnecessary attachment.

"You all should not blame a single or even group of individuals as whole. The sins of one are not equal to all. I think Snake people have done the same to humans. The best vengeance is to prosper and grow."

Caelum's hypnotizing voice made their thoughts and bloodthirst to subsided, imprinting his philosophy and beliefs into them. The snake people could not help but agree and rethink their way of thinking.

He let them contemplate while taking a stroll around the city with Yu Mei guiding him and letting him taste their cuisine. 

Fortunately, not try courting his disciple as Yu Mei was with them. Though, few had lust in their eyes leading to the misfortune of impotence.

His simple stroll was not meaningless as he made sure to surround his divine sense then place a few marks to send clones and place an array. 

Time passes, Caelum and his disciple spend a couple of days training and cultivating their strength along with Yu Mei. He helped guide some snake people in martial arts and avoided relying on Dou qi.

The biggest flaws of Qi/essence refiner are their reliance on energy and once it deflates they are vulnerable. 

Caelum took the time to cultivate the [Sacred Scripture] knowing he was on the verge of breaking through. He had strength his Dao and made every Lesser Dao into [True meaning of Dao]

His physique had reached the Grand Completion and helped his Nascent Soul refined by the tribulation lightning. The sensation of reaching the Void imperfection in such a short amount of time was surreal. 

Normally it was impossible to cultivate it this fast even in time-diluted space, However, having the [Dao of Void] greatly boosted his progress. 

"So it's time to meet up with the queen."
