Chapter 329 - Revision!

Caelum sat in a lotus position circulating the essence that he had learned from the fight and trying to uncover the profound secret of his Firmament Paragon art. By doing so would allow him to bring forth the highest potential of each martial art.  

Entering deep concentrations breathing in an unfathomable state of mind. From his fight with the phantom received over 10,000 small slashes while 24 deep cuts that perfectly sliced through his body if it weren't sturdy. 

The muscle fiber was also completely torn to shred from the bash lashes of using the twisting palm. By performing the technique it causes his muscle to contort in such a way to both create a vacuum by twisting counter-clockwise and expel the force by twisting clockwise. 

It would not cause much damage considering his near-indestructible human body if it weren't for the fact that he uses both Yin and Yang at the same time in quick succession without the proper time to train them, resulting in severely damaging his body.

Nevertheless, restoring his damaged body is relatively easy by letting the small amount of Qi flow through his body, even so, he opted to use the opportunity to continue training his body by pumping blood faster than before. 

Veins appeared through his body and restored the damaged muscle fiber, thickening and tightening his muscle even further acquiring the strength of over 1,400,000 jin. The joints of his bone throbbing in pain yet his face remained indifferent. 

Using the fundamentals of the Total Breathing Techniques and applying the Total Breathing: Constant allowing his body to steadily grow stronger. 

He had grown far too powerful that his elementary fundamentals had been forgotten and had little to no use when his power was already godlike but now it had returned to the human body and gave the opportunity to further explore those basics once again. 

His revision of Breath of Hell turned into something entirely different than his blood flowing through his body like a river. The stillness of the motion and looseness of his body created the perfect balance. 

After spending a few hours tearing and repairing his body until reached a bottleneck stopped and stood up unconsciously circulating the inner and external strength within his body. 

The burden of his body had lessened, nearly feeling that the weight from before was nothing then a dream. It constantly flows his blood and strength using the newly revised Total Breathing technique where his movement had little wasted movement. 

There is in the real world actor from Terminator, Robert Hammond Patrick who had trained his breathing so effectively that he was able to catch up to a speeding motorcycle where he needed to slow his speed for the movie.

[A/N: this is a fact, try googling it]

Caelum's breathing, allowing him to consciously circulate his air and perform an attack wouldn't drain his stamina that much. 

He proceeded to test his Martial art to test his strength and found that the backlash has to lessen than before. The palm strike had the same recoil but unlike the law of equal force, the recoil from the technique is several times greater than the initial forces due to the creating spring-like effect.

Overall status of his martial art had reached the peak of Half Success. It appeared small but to evenly fight a phantom made from the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi then it was no easy feat.

Caelum took a stance turning his hand into a spear circulating the force through his feet directing it to every part of his body. 

"Yang Wheel Spear hand."

Whoosh!

A massive force a was expelled demolishing the vast land into mere dust within seconds. it easily surpassed the strength of a Great Grandmaster to produce this kinds of power. Caelum gave nod from the result and decided to further strengthen his body.

"It should be enough, for now, I should prepare a medicinal bath."

Being drenched in blood and sweat immediately went to collect some herbs from his plantation to prepare his body tempering bath.

After spending half an hour collecting herbs that were quite difficult due to the nature of these places being much stronger than your run-on-the-mill mortal plants. 

They had been soaked for a few thousand years of vitality and Qi that it wasn't strange for the branches to be stronger than titanium. 

Once he was done collecting the herbs, Caelum proceeded to find a source of water spring heading his way deeper into his training grounds. 

Along the way, a ferocious life form that resides in his training ground tried to attack him only for their body to be pummeled to the ground and became a snack for Caelum. 

"Here we go!"

Finding a small pond that contains nourishing Qi that cleanses the body of any ailment. Caelum promptly took out his clothes, dropping the herbs into the pond to produce a medical bath.

Using his hand to mix the content with the water after that took deep into the warm liquid slightly wincing from the pain of the herbs seeping into his body. 

Submerging his body in high-quality herbs and water springs rapidly strengthened him. Caelum uses his Firmament Paragon Art and its revised Total breathing technique to further elevate his control over his body in such a burden. 

At the center of his being the space seemed to distort, twisting into the vortex that consumed the Springwater and in turn absorbed by his body. 

Caelum's path was the Void itself where everything began and existed. With this in mind, he used this path as his principle to Firmament Paragon forming its profound essences. 

His mind was empty and his body filled, mixing the two resulted in the devastating power of his Martial art. The most horrifying thing is when someone had no thoughts burdening him and power that overwhelms everything. 

The refinement of his body finally broke through and reached the level of Great Grandmaster basking in the new profound insight of his Martial Art. 

This was only the refinement of his Unarmed Technique and did not contain the Myriad Blade Style. He had not found the time to refine the technique as he lacked a good sword. 

Even if he can summon a blade from his Myriad Blade realm his Dao would not withstand his newly acquired understanding. 

The only option was to create his own that would accompany him through his journey. Ea may be powerful but it's useless when he could make a better weapon. 

He had the Essence of Craftsman that was stronger than scripture. It allowed him to create the highest grade of the weapon even with the lowest quality of materials.

Caelum's body grew taller and more mature, appearing more like a 20-year-old man having a slightly bulkier body than his old one.

He noticed how the spring water had been vaporized from his breakthrough and stood up to appreciate his new power. Caelum climbed up from the pond then tested his power.

With hardly a thought, his body moves flawlessly leaving nothing behind showcasing his perfect footwork. He executed his technique with little restrained vaguely feeling that he was becoming the Martial Art itself. 

Every strike broke through the sound barrier forming a cone around his fist despite putting only a small amount of first. 

Caelum stopped striking the air-breathing deeply, taking a more defined stance gazing through the distant mountain containing nothing but to execute the movement. 

"Desolate Fist Strike."

In a split second, nothing happened until the shock wave caused the whole land to quake and destroy the tip of the mountain. This was the strength of a Great Grandmaster without holding back. 

The land became desolate with only dust and the coneless mountain was in front of Calum who exhaled. He understood his overall prowess is at the early stage of a Great Grandmaster. 

"The first strike isn't as devastating as my palm strike but the backlash is at least lower. Now I should try to train my blade as well. Hope I can open the second floor."

He had more years to use the Jade Pagoda and appreciate that his training had not been for anything. 

Caelum concentrated in hopes to enter the second floor where his alchemy and blacksmith workshop was located. 

Luckily, he was able to open the door into the workshop prompting him to teleport to the floor and saw the Universe Furnaces had grown containing several ancient Sanskrit. 

Caelum went closer and was instantly taken aback by the spiritual energy inside. The pills it produces greatly benefit those who consumed them if that person weren't humans. 

He is unable to eat them without dying from the burst of energy contained in the pills. The only thing he was able to do was to observe the universe trapped within the furnace finding that it was completely blank. 

"So they are unable to recreate it without original strength. That's a pity but for now, let's find some anvil and hammer."
