Secrets Of The Limitless Heaven Realm (2)

"Disciple understands, and disciple will work hard to achieve the rule of 4's in the future." The four disciples said. 

"Good! Again there is nothing to worry about in this regard. Even my other ten cuties here can't do it and they had the benefit of me setting up their worlds for them to begin with. Each starting at 64 worlds." Lei Jin explained, raising his disciples spirits. "I'm impressed though, the four of you have almost reached the full 3 rings. And it seems the 2nd generation disciples are about to break through into the Limitless Heaven Realm. This is really good. Once they achieve the completed 12 worlds needed I'll come by personally to wish them success." He added. "But for now, I have things to do. And the 16 of you should talk over tea or something. I'm certain that you'll learn something from each other." He again added, waving and then disappearing. 

"Daddy is always like that. I was going to ask him why I can't feel the way to the next realm yet." Xiao Ling said, flailing her arms around. 

"Sister Xiao Ling, perhaps I might have a satisfactory answer. Though I may be inferior to you in terms of the number of worlds I have. I did gain them all through effort and training." The eldest Disciple said. 

"Oh, yeah. That's right! When daddy had us make our own worlds we learned a whole bunch of stuff. This realm doesn't function the same way as other ones." Xiao Dan said, excited to hear the possible explanation. 

"Since sister Xiao Dan is also excited, I'll discuss it. Perhaps I am wrong but after hearing Master speak earlier I am only more certain of this." The Eldest Disciple said. "The reason you can't feel the path to breaking through is likely the result of not having reached the minimum requirement to reach the next rule. Such is the same with us right now." She continued. 

"We were indeed too pushy. We didn't realize there was a lower limit. Fortunately Master is strong enough that even if we mess up the breakthrough we won't suffer too much." The second Disciple said. 

"This is just the nature of mapping out the progress of a brand new realm. You all remember the other worlds in the domain that are constantly researching new cultivation methods. Every time they find a new thing it takes them thousands of years to understand properly. So when it comes to the highest realm ever, it is only natural to have shortfalls in the understanding of the realm as a whole." The Third Disciple explained. 

"The four of us have studied under Master for countless years. And I can say for certain that even he doesn't fully understand the realm either. Though he knows much more than us, he was still surprised by the formation of the rank 10 world. And even more surprised when he had multiple more potential spots open up for more. It will be difficult for us to reach his level. But time isn't really an issue. Since we are actually immortal in this realm. One will not age a day even if hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Such is the nature of this realm." The Fourth Disciple said. 

"My daddy is super strong! And very smart! The methods he uses to connect the worlds together is amazing! It speeds up the development of all worlds and the speed at which the world force is channeled to different worlds. My worlds are all improving much faster now." Xiao Ling said. 

"Oh? The one where every two worlds feed into each other? Yes, once a feedback loop is created one can increase the purity of their world force through faster interactions. And rapidly increase the flow of power." The Eldest Disciple said. 

"It's fine even though we can't do it yet. I'm positive that it can only be done while one is trying to break through to the next rule. Such a thing is quite a difficult problem for us to resolve right now. Our bodies take time to refine to higher strengths." The second disciple said. 

"But can't you make the connection between them as you add worlds? I did it that way. And it worked for a while." Xiao Ling said, tilting her head to the side to think. 

"I did it too sister and… and I was unable to fix the other connections doing that. It has to be something else." Xiao Dan said, flailing about. 

"Wait… you were able to add the feedback loops after adding a world… We haven't been able to do that. I have gotten close but it still failed in the end. If we could add 2 worlds at a time we could probably manage pulling it off for at least those 2." The third disciple said, rubbing his chin. A habit he picked up from his master. 

The 16 Limitless Heaven Realm's began talking about their experiences and comparing understandings of the realm. There was no need to hold anything back since none of them were outsiders. And while the Master was away, this was the only sure fire way to improve one's own understanding. Through near peers slowly gaining new things from each other. Everyone had something to give and take. 

The ones who were created at a perfect rule of 3s and 3 rings completed, had learned valuable insight on how one learns when they are stable enough to add a new world. The ones who had grown from the bottom up had learned the degree of stability in their Worlds was key to the rate at which they would grow. 

~~6 Months Later~~

Lei Jin returned to see his disciples again. "It's good you were able to reach this point. I'm glad you all got along. The rule 4s is right around the corner for the 14 of you. And as for you two… I think I have discovered something else as well. Try to get enough worlds to complete four rings at the rule of 5 before attempting to break through." He said, rubbing his chin and looking around to see everyone having improved significantly. His four disciples had the most gains.
