Chapter 257 - I Won

Caelum took the moment to call out to the Law of Nihility seeing the 'absence' of something allowed him to know what he was sensing. This Law can be considered the opposing force of Everything that he is unable to comprehend the law he called 'One'.

The 'One' Law was complicated as it was similar to everything that made it difficult to sense a wisped of it. This is the same as the Law of Nihility, however, he is capable of comprehending it due to his highest affinity with the Void.

He only knew that this 'One' Law is connected to Origin energy being the reason why it is difficult to gain insight.

In the end, Caelum uses the Law to surround himself with Time Paradoxical protection in case a higher being decides to interfere with his past self.

Instantly the Nihility barrier shattered, unable to protect him without a higher insight to his Law of Acasuality or Cause and Effect.

He frowned from the result but did not mind knowing it was going to happen. Caelum did not leave disappointed from his gains and only a matter of time until reaching his goal.

As long as he takes a step forward then it results in getting close to his goal. Caelum scanned the area to ensure nothing was left before going forward and reuniting with the others who quickly gave their own greet.

"What did you find in there?"(Xiao Xue)

They were curious to find out what his gain made them unable to approach the coffin. Their strength is already incomparable, capable of fighting Dao of Dragon in prowess and technique. 

The only conclusion is whatever inside the coffin will be a priceless treasure. Caelum took out a small page confusing them.

"It's just a page of an old book that I alone capable of harnessing now."

It was not a lie every page that scattered through time had become his after learning its origin. The Temporal Demon Spirit Book had acknowledged him as the true owner affecting the other pages.

After consuming the essence of Nie Li who was the creator in an alternate timeline and by placing it to his root of soul made it connect to his core self. 

Even if someone made the same book would never gain the true potential as his true master. 

Far away from them above the tiny world was the Draconic Ruin Realm and above it the Ancestral Godland where a single individual who quietly meditated felt a disturbance resulting in his eyes and mouth to bleed.

'What!? Did someone destroy my Bones!? No, it is still sealed by those bastards then who's responsible for this?'

The individual tried finding the cause only resulting a backlash result to its body to ache. The person was unaware of the reason and only cursed this person.

Back to Caelum who already knew that the Sage Emperor felt the pages in his possession to poison his body, gradually killing him.

He only laughed at his pain for being arrogant and trying to be ambiguous for his own good. 

Before long they arrived at another vault and this time they were greeted by boundless goal and treasure that their eyes to glisten. 

"Store everything and will sell them for auction. If you find something interesting then take it."

Nodding their heads began to use their spatial ring to store all the treasure while Caelum only wanted one thing and that treasure was the Shadow Lamp. 

It was at the top of the pedestal reaching his hand then flew toward his direction. Caelum could see the spirit inside the lamp grinned as he was planning to use the Nightmare Demon Pot and this perfect moment.

Storing into his treasury turned his attention to the young girls playing around the treasure. He chuckled before helping them gather the treasure. 

It took them a while before heading back to the surface and returning to Glory City. 

They spend the time getting used to each other bonding and having hot nights until arriving back.

The next few days sold the treasure, gaining an enormous amount of money. Caelum gave it all to them as he had countless money within his treasury.

"Try controlling the temperature more or it will explode. Careful now that it's too hot."

"Master Tian...Like this?"

"Good that's just right, Yang Xin now try applying more Soul force while circulating to ensure it won't burn only one but all of them. "

He was currently in the Alchemy Association within Glory City teaching his way of alchemy taking the director, Yang Xin who was a voluptuous mature woman with long purple hair. 

Caelum took interest not just in her looks but also her talent in alchemy, teaching her flame creation method for alchemy. 

He only did this due to believing that by teaching he would also learn from their mistake. 

Yang Xin struggled to control the temperature yet continued concentration circulating the flames allowing the heat to spread evenly.  

Moments later the cauldron stopped circulating flames and what came was three pills.

"Success!"

"Congratulations on creating a High Heaven grade pill."

Caelum felt proud seeing her produce a Heaven grad pill, despite being only third in the ranking systems was already an accomplishment.

[A/N: I use martial peak for pill grading]

Yang Xin was so excited that she unexpectedly hugged who enjoyed her melon in his head. Caelum was still in preteen body frame which was why even standing up was still at her breast height.

"Ah sorry master Tian!"

"Hehehe I don't mind. Oh right, I'll be collecting my reward tomorrow…"

"Your reward?"

"It was just a bet that I made with Shen Xiu to become a maid. Anyway, here is your own reward for reaching this far." 

Caelum took out a scripture regarding more alchemy, letting Yang Xin insight grow further, helping in her path to alchemy. 

She gave her gratitude by giving him a kiss on the cheek before Caelum left, returning back to his home to spend the time with his family. He decided to take a rest from cultivating and enjoy himself for the time being. 

The next day, every student was gathered and Caelum stood in front of the student before seeing Shen Xiu opting for a smirk.

"Hope you don't regret your bet or backing away, Shen Xiu. I already prepared the uniform."

He took out a maid dress that he had personally tailored. Shen Xiu saw this and became annoyed but was confident in her victory.

She had a thorough investigation about Caelum only finding false information letting her guard down regarding his true origin.

"Don't push your luck if you have any. I'll honor the deal and hope you do the same."

"Woman, my words is truth."

Caelum's eyes crack open revealing them under his bangs that always hide his eye resulting in Shen Xiu to shudder.

She was unable to understand what had happened, only putting it aside. Caelum watched at the side still had his smug eyes watching each student even the present Nie Li that did not contain his future self but still grew with his teaching.

Even if the student did have the best cultivation that Caelum had stored still able to grow exponentially as each of them became silver rank in this time.

He taught them not only cultivation but everything about controlling and hiding their strength. 

Shen Xiu saw his students one by one displaying their strength showered in cold sweat. She tried to deny it but her heart sank as it was the truth.

'I...I lost...yet why do I feel happy?'

She felt her emotion conflicted as Caelum only shook his head turning his head to Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er and Xiao Xue where once they saw him run up to him showing their affection making the people curse him while the girls lust for him.

After that day, Shen Xiu was turned into Caelum personal maid infuriating the Sacred Family but a bet was bet. Though, at that time the cocky woman felt free for the first time as in the sacred family everyone was in each other's throats.

"You stay here for the time being while visiting a nearby Subsidiary Domain."

"Hmph Don't expect to do everything even if I agreed to become your maid."

"Hahaha careful now, I'll punish you if you keep refusing your master."

He slapped her plump ass receiving moans from her then a glare yet aelum knew she enjoyed it.

Caelum left her being accompanied by Yun Ling and Yang Xin with the latter living alongside him while the latter was training in alchemy at home.
