The first stage of the foundation stage was the body tempering stage. This stage was further divided into 5 stages. Each stage made the body of the cultivator stronger and stronger which differentiated them from the normal humans. When the cultivators entered into the first stage of the body tempering stage he would gain the power equivalent to 10 tigers. Also the body would get purified and the muscles and the bones in the body would get stronger. And the body would get stronger with the rise in cultivation. Of course this was the basic information that every cultivators knew.

Niklaus or called Nik for short also knew this information as did everyone of his generation. He had just returned home near the village.

"Hey Nik, how was your day?" A sweet voice asked him.

He smiled hearing the nostalgic voice and replied "It was fine, mom." His mother Angelina was a cultivator and she was at body tempering 4th stage. His father was a peak body tempering stage expert and worked as a elder of the clan, so he was a busy person.

"Perhaps they will let you cultivate soon. This age is perfect since your bone and muscles grow at this stage. All you should do is follow the cultivation technique given and cultivate diligently. You will be able to have a body far stronger than the normal cultivators. The body cultivation technique of our clan is one of the best after all." His mother told him proudly. Though it might have been pride talking, she was not wrong in telling that it was one of the best technique. Even the Mountain Wolf Clan's cultivation body cultivation technique was levels weaker than the one in this clan. Many years ago there had been a great battle to steal this cultivation technique, but those that came to steal this cultivation technique had all been killed by a mysterious expert. Many believed the expert to be the ancestor of the Soaring Clan.

"Yes mom, I will try my best." Nik resolutely said.

"All right then, your father's probably not coming home today, so let's go eat. I made your favorite food. My strong cultivator son is going to need a lot of food after all. HAHAHA"

"YAY!"

A month gradually passed by. At the time in a ground of the village clan,

"Today everyone of you will be given the body cultivation technique. All of you will practice the same body cultivation technique and get 2 elixirs as well." The instructor said. Chubby Nik could be seen amongst the line of 30 other children waiting for their turn to get the cultivation technique.

"Hey Nik, you excited?" a little boy with his mouth puffed with food asked. This boy was Nik's best friend. Both of them had been best friends since Nik brought his homemade chicken in school and Andrew stole one of them. Since both of them found that they both of them loved food too much, they became best friends.

"Yeah. Is that corn?" Nik asked. Before his friend could answer him the teacher called his name. he was asked to come forth and take the cultivation method. Then he was led to a huge hall where other children were practicing.

"Wow, this is huge." Andrew said as soon as he entered the hall, in a loud voice. For that the teacher glared disapprovingly at him.

"Stupid brats, stop talking trash and start practicing or else.."

Both boys got so scared that they pushed each other in a hurry to get away from the teacher's sight.

Nik then opened the cultivation technique he was given. There were total of 10 pictures in different position. Nik had seen these positions before when his father had cultivated them. He too wanted to be as good as his father someday. The postures in the cultivation looked easy but they were incredibly hard to perform. Some who had good perception took a week while the slower ones took months just to perform the first posture. This was because the internal energy present in the body had to be revolved accordingly as well and most of the time was spent just to generate the internal strength in the body. Elixirs and other drugs could be taken to improve the body condition and provide certain internal strength to the body as well. However the energy from the outside could not be taken in until one broke into the core unlocking stage. Due to this all the students were given 2 elixirs once a month. For each stage breakthrough of the body tempering stage, you had to complete at least two of the given postures.

Finally, the journey of Nik started in the world of cultivation.
