Chapter 172 - Another Year of Training

Soren was watching as Yao Wuxie, Quang Wai, and Yi Fei were all grabbing at their Dantain, with pained expressions. Soren knew that forcefully pushing someone's Cultivation would hurt unless their foundation was already prepared to break through, and he knew the breakthrough was not what was painful, but the forced Foundation building. The 3 Disciples felt as if their bodies were in a furnace and being smelted under unimaginable heat temperatures, but all 3 of them had the will to prevail, and it was proven by Quang Wai, and Yi Fei when they climbed the mountain, while Soren had confidence in Yao Wuxie.

[You must hang on, you are almost through the process]: soren

Soren watched as Yao Wuxie's cultivation went from Pericelestial Low Level, all the way to Greater Celestial Mid Level, and soon to follow behind him, both Quang Wai, and Yi Fei went from Postcelestial High Level, all the way to Greater Celestial Mid Level, just like Yao Wuxie. Though Yao Wuxie was at a higher Cultivation level, he still had around average potential, while both Quang Wai, and Yi Fei had above average, as well as a Yin Yang Body Twins, body type, so they were already special in their own right.

[You all have pulled through… Now you just need to condense some Gridline Energy chains, and when you have a sufficient amount, you can eat another pill, and bost yourselves once again]: soren

When the 3 heard Soren's words, they felt it would take many years before they could eat another pill, and that's when Yao Wuxie spoke up.

[It takes years just to make 1 chain, and we might be dead when we reach around 10 chains… If we can even make 10]: yao wuxie

[You will indeed spend many years creating chains, but I have a way to let you spend as many years as you want training, and not age a day… Would you like to try it?]: soren

When the trio heard Soren's words, they felt he was omnipotent, and they were not entirely wrong in their assumption.

[We would like to try]: the trio

Soren gave a smile, and brought the trio to his Training room, and let them inside, Soren then told them to stay under the pavilion, as well as what would happen to them if they left the pavilion. When the three heard Soren, they looked at each other, and gulped, Soren then told them about the time difference, and they were once again shocked, Soren then left the room, and let the 3 train on their own. Soren then spent the next 7 days with his family, and that was also the day the trio came out of the room, and the pressure they gave off was one that made them seem to be at the top of the food chain, but was still nothing compared to Soren and his family who have transcended the Xuanghuang's level of power.

[So… How many Gridlines have you all made?]: soren

Soren had given them a quota before they could take the next pill, and that was 20 Gridline Chains, so they all had at least 20 chains, and that was when they started showing Soren all of their chains.

[Grandmaster, I have 40]: quang wai

[Grandmaster, I have 38]: yi fei

[Grandmaster, I have 29]: yao wuxie

[Hmm… Not bad… You will still be able to create more until you reach the Divine Celestial level, so you can always improve more on them… Then are you ready for your next pill?]: soren

[Wait… Have we really only been in there for 7 days for you Grandmaster?]: yao wuxie

[Yes… 70 years may have passed for you, but I have only been with my family for 7 days… Any other questions?]: soren

Soren waited for any more questions to come, but none came, so Soren had everyone take out their 2nd pill, and swallow it. Once again, the trio began clutching at their Dantain, while the pain their body was going through was just as bad as last time, if not worse, because going from a Greater Celestial foundation, to a perfect Utmost Celestials foundation was painful for anyone, and that was without forcing the foundation. Soon, a few hours went by, and the trio went from Greater Celestial Full Level's all the way to Earth Celestial Low Level, and when they felt their new power, they felt like they could destroy the whole world with a flip of their hand. Soren was extremely happy with this turn of events, and felt creating an army would be easy, and now he was just waiting for the members of Saint Devils Sect to come, and while waiting for that, Soren began focusing on strengthening his Martial Spirits that recently began to bloom into Spirits, and just like Soren thought, these Spirits were all powerful, Soren began nurturing them with his Soul power, and in doing this, he strengthened their powers making them all rival a Paradise State cultivator.

Soren then began looking through his System, and noticed some unread messages from Killua, Gon, and Zeno. Soren then opened the letters, and began reading them, while thinking to the last time he had talked with them, and though it was only around 1 year and 4 months, it had been over 3,000 years for him.

-Killua-

Hey Brother!... I miss you, and have decided to tell you about what happened over this Year… First thing should be about how I got married… She is the love of my life, and is a Martial Artist as well, and I just recently found out I will be a Father… You will be an Uncle!... I hope my Nephews and Nieces are doing fine, as well as my Sister-In-Laws… Tell them I said hey… I need to go spar with Goku now, he has been bugging me lately about helping him master Ultra Instinct, so he can fight Jiren… Anyway, love ya bro! -Kill~

'Kill~... You are something else… Hehe, I miss you too': soren

-Gon-

Dear Soren, This is the first time I have written a digital message, and it feels totally different from writing a Handwritten one… I just wanted to give you an update on my life so far… That girl I brought over for dinner that one night, I found out she cheated on me, and when I questioned her about it, she said she did it because he felt I cheated on her… I didn't want to deal with those things, and left her… I ended up finding another girl, and I feel she is the one, and later this year I will ask her to marry me… Wish me luck!... Also, Master Roshi keeps asking me to give him a pair of her Underwear, but no matter how many times I say no, he keeps insisting I listen to my Master, or that its a test of loyalty… But he is not my teacher so… Anyway! Hope you are doing well, give my regards to everyone else, I need to go out and buy a Ring for Sherry

'... Roshi really is a pervert… I might send some tribulation lightning over to strike him one day… As for Gon, he seems like he's doing well… Now, what does Zeno have for me?': soren

-Zeno-

Hey Dad! I heard Uncle Killua, and Uncle Gon were doing update messages, so I thought I would do one about myself… My life is going good… I have a Son now, and Shizu is having quite a few playdates with Goten, and I'm starting to feel the dread of a father, having to see another boy go after his daughter… As for my Son, his name is Shiro, as his Hair came out completely White, and I know he is mine, because he has a tail… Maybe this has to do with your bloodline skipping a generation, and being born with him… I love Shiro dearly, and tell him stories about you every night, and now he thinks you are some superhero who saved the whole Universe, though you kinda are… Anyway! Say hi to Mom and the others for me! As well as tell Zenith I have surpassed him… Hehe

'Oh Zeno… Zenith has far outclassed you… But you can always get stronger… As for Shizu and Goten… I guess I could allow it, and Shiro might get White hair from our family, the only reason my hair was Blue, was due to the System, and it was like a genetic disorder': soren

Soren then closed his System after coming up with a message to send back to everyone, and the messages were mostly related to how he felt about their personal changes, while only saying he has almost reached the Apex, and estimated spending 10 years at most until he could some back. Soren then began asking Sakura about the Laws he was able to learn now that he was in the Law State, and Sakura started explaining all the different types of Laws that exist, and while Soren was listening to the list, he felt exhausted with how many there were, and quickly asked to pick the ones he was most suitable for.

{DING!... HOST IS SUITABLE FOR ALL LAWS… BUT IF HOST WANTS A RECOMMENDED PICK, THEN PLEASE LEARN THE ONES IN THIS LIST

-List-

Lightning, Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Space, Time, Yin-Yang, Chaos, Creation, Sword, Martial

THESE ARE THE TOP RECOMMENDED LAWS FOR HOST}

Soren felt these laws were closely related to the Nature Elements from Naruto, but after going over them, he found out that they were on a whole other level from the normal Chakra Natures, but the actual Law to them, and if Soren learned them, he would hold complete authority over the Laws of these Elements. Soren then went into his Training Chamber, and spent the next few days learning all of these laws, so he could have more power on his side when fighting stronger opponents. Soren spent 3 days inside, which was equal to 30 years, and when Soren came out, he was surrounded by 12 pure Black orbs, that reminded Soren of Naruto's Truth Seeking orbs, but the difference was, these orbs were indestructible, and there were 12 in total, while Soren could also call on them whenever he felt the need, and the power in them were on an other worldly level. Soren could combine all 12 into 1, and the attack from the orb could destroy the Xuanghuang world instantly, and because Soren didn't want to accidentally destroy the world, he quickly dissipated the 12 orbs.

'I think I could survive in the Ancient Saint world with no problems… Maybe I should push my Cultivation to the Eternal God seat?': soren

Soren wanted to reach the top of the Ancient Saint world so there would be no problems when leaving the Xuanhuang world behind. Soren then told everyone his plan to leave this world, and that he needed to Cultivate for another year, and in doing this, it would also be around the same time Lin Fan was pronounced dead for a year. Soren then entered his Training room, and began Cultivating for 3,000 years, while only 1 year in reality, Soren had gotten to the All to One State, where just a wave of his hand could release a skill that would decimate his opponent, and soon, 700 years flew by, and Soren broke through to the Universal Elixir State, where he could have his inner world produce almost unlimited Immortal Energy, and it was also at this stage that his Martial Spirits began absorbing as much Immortal Energy as possible. Soren then spent another 800 years bringing the total to 1,500 years spent inside, and in this time Soren broke the barrier into the Eight Desolates United State, and with this power, Soren felt he needed to get use to his new power before progressing, Soren then began to do training inside the Training room, under all that gravity, and it began putting just the right amount of strain on Soren's body, ad he comprehended a new law. Soren had Gravity Magic, but that still had it's limitations, and now he had comprehended the Law of Gravity, and this new development made it so he could control the gravity however he liked, instead of using magic to affect it.

'I have gotten stronger, but I am still far away from those monsters in the Endless Mainland': soren

After a few Years, Soren had fully gotten used to his Power, and continued to push for the last Level in the Divine Celestial Realm Soren then spent the next 500 Years preparing his foundation for the next stage, and once it was ready, Soren began loading his body with Energy, and began forcing it through the bottleneck to break into the Eternal God State. Soon, Soren had seen that no progress was being made, and decided to take it to the next stage, and transformed into his Ultra Instinct form, and boosted the Energy smashing through the barrier, and when Soren entered the Eternal God State, he saw a Golden throne floating above him.

'Hehe… You dare try and tease this Daddy?... Get over here!': soren

Soren didn't even move, and instead just used his Telekinesis to pull the throne towards him, while using his oppressive Kings Haki, as well as his Hakai to separate the connection of the throne from the will that tried to tease Soren. Soren then took the throne, and sat on top of it, as it began to be absorbed into his Dantain, and make his Cultivation jump from the Eight Desolates United State, to the True Eternal God State, and when Soren felt the power contained in the new level, he spent the rest of the thousand years stabilizing his level, as well as creating Immortal Pills, and Immortal Treasures to give to his army. Soren then left the Training room, and noticed an increase of people on the mountain, and when he appeared where the most of them were concentrated, he noticed they all had the Saint Devils Sect's Sect token on them, and all of them were at the Greater Celestial Low Level.

'So he is going to give me fresh breakthroughs huh… Oh well, I can make due with these ones… I wonder how their resources are doing to produce these 100 Disciples he sent over': soren

Soren then decided to greet them, and when they all saw Soren, they began bowing towards him, while some were praising his greatness for saving their Sect.

[Enough… There is no need to praise me, as I am going to be using you all for my army… We will be sieging the Ancient Saint world, and put Humans back at the top of the list up there]: soren

Soren told them about the Ancient Saint world, and told them they would be his Army, but didn't tell them that they would be leaving this Universe when Soren reached the Apex, as it was unneeded information. Soren then gave them the task of creating 20 Gridline Chains with the promise to raise their Cultivation to their Sectmaster's level, and when the Disciples heard about the room, they got excited, and all entered, as the pavilion could hold around 500 before it was crowded with people needing to move to the outside. Soon, 3 weeks passed, while Soren was receiving more Disciples, and sending them into the Training room, while those from the Training room began to come out when they reached 20 Gridline Chains, Soren then gave them a weak essence pill that began raising their Cultivation to Utmost Celestial, as Soren planned to raise their Cultivation to Desolate Celestial when they reach the Ancient Saint world.

[I think it is almost time to head to the Ancient Saint world… Prepare your asses Ancient race, as I will be beating them… Hehe]: soren
