Zio's training continued under Asura, he has nothing to worry about the cave was filled with things that were needed for survival, multiple plants filled with energy allowed Zio to recover from all the wear and tear that was done to his body from all the extreme exercise Asura put him through.

There was not a day Zio didn't curse at Asura for being so strict when it came to training, each word was filled with hate but Zio knew it was for his own good.

Day by day Zio was changing, being in the same room as Asura, his personality started to change, Asura was rubbing onto him, he learned a lot from Asura, even though all the knowledge that Asura had were millions of years old, some of the fundamental never changed, the rules of the jungle always applies with powerful figures are ruling the world and they will gobble up anyone that stands in their way.

Asura knows that Zio will be the center of attention in the future so he is already preparing Zio for his future, Zio still may be naive to how to world outside is and Asura cannot help him understand it as well because he has been stuck on top of this mountain for 3 million years, but when it will come to making decisions that lead to either death or survival, Asura is there for him, because at the end of the day Asura is taking a massive risk, trusting a human again and that too of the same bloodline.

He doesn't hate Valt for his decision, he is just disappointed that Valt didn't take the final step to gain ultimate power, instead, he chose to raise a family with the woman he loved.

While Zio continued to go down his cultivation, the dragon outside was also living his life in fear, he didn't know what is going on inside, he couldn't smell the scent of death coming from inside the cave, the Dragon suspects that the boy that tricked him and sneaked in his still alive.

The Dragon just doesn't know what is going on inside, it's too big to go inside and it doesn't dare to even take a peak after sensing the aura that leaked out of the cave after the kid sneaked in.

A year passed and Zio has entered the first stage of the Fundamental realm, starting is always hard, to reach this realm Zio had to push his body to the limit and then rest for them to recover, he had to do it, again and again till his 13-year-old body which is 14 year now got completely ripped.

After achieving a perfectly ripped body for a 14-year-old, Zio entered the first stage of the fundamental realm, his bones started to make cracking sounds but Zio didn't feel any pain, he just felt uncomfortable, as if a worm is traveling inside his body, from head to his legs.

He felt the weird sensation, then he suddenly felt the changes around his surrounding, he could now sense some kind of energy around the cave which he couldn't sense before.

"Hooo, it looks like you entered the first stage, good, try moving your body and fell the changes, you should get used to the body before continuing any further"

Asura said. Hearing him Zio got to his feet and stretched his body and jumped a few times, he could feel that he was much powerful than before, he could also tell that he was much heavier than before but the height of his jump has increased as well.

"Why do I feel heavier but at the same time lighter, I can jump much higher than before"

Zio said excitedly.

"When someone gets stronger, their weight increases as their body needs to be denser to support the power that they wield, with I was in my original form I weighed more than a hypergiant star"

Asura said.

"Wait? How much heavy is a star? and what's a hypergiant star?"

Zio asked as he has no knowledge about the universe and what is in it.

"Just a normal star weighs more than this world, for example, the sun that you see in the sky, and a hypergiant star is about 1500 times larger than the sun of this solar system, sometimes even bigger"

Asura said.

"What's a solar system?"

Zio asked again as he still has no idea.

"I won't waste our time teaching you about stars and galaxies, when you become strong enough you will learn about them without me even saying a word"

Asura said and stopped talking returning back to his dormant state inside the sword.

"So was the ancestor also as heavy as you?"

Zio still continued to ask his question as a young mind is always curious.

"Yes he was"

Asura answered as he knew Zio won't stop asking questions until he is satisfied.

"If he was that heavy? why did the world didn't get crushed?"

Zio asked.

"When you reach that kind of realm you won't be affected by the normal forces of the world, if a being like that wants to destroy this world, he can do that by just placing his leg on the ground without holding back his true weight"

Asura said.

"I see, so how long will it take for me to reach that level?"

Zio asked. Just the thought of just using his weight to destroy a world excited him.

"Kid, don't look so further into the future, first think about getting out of this mountain"

Asura said and laughed after hearing the naive question from Zio, Zio just grunted and went back to training and cultivating the method that Asura has given him.

The name if this cultivation method is called the True Path, Asura said that this is the only way one can break through their limits to reach a stage where everything is incomprehensible.

'Asura said that I need to reach the peak of the Fundamental level before I can pull him out, I need to reach that level quickly'

Zio thought and continued his training.
