It has been 2 days since they started climbing the stairs. Without any rest they reached the 99th step before they stopped.

Kylo stopped because he noticed the weirdness of the 100th step.

He noticed a Law. A Law of Space!

That meant in the next step they will be transferred in the different space.

After explaining the details to them and warning them a little Kylo lead his group inside the space.

The moment he entered he noticed the difference.

The first thing was the abundance of the energy in this space.

[No rather it would be more appropriate to call it another world.] Kylo secretly thought to himself.

The next thing he noticed was time. Kylo doesn't know anything related to Laws of Time.

But after experiencing changes in the laws again and again he got a vague grasp on it.

That doesn't mean learning laws is easy. In fact even the simplest of the laws takes months even for absolute geniuses.

It's just Kylo whose comprehension ability far surpasses the norms.

But he doesn't have any idea how fast is the time inside this 'world'.

But he doesn't have a problem. He asked the 'expert' behind him.

Lena, as usual, after connecting with the elementals answered it was fifty times faster than the Heavenly Grotto.

That means 1 day in the outside world equal to 100 days in this space!!

Everything was good but the problem was

[This is useless to me!!] Kylo exclaimed inwardly.

After all he could not absorb energy now. He could only store in inside his sword.

"Master how many days are we planning to spend here?" asked Elena.

"We will go out within 100 days. By then everyone should completely absorb the energy here and stabilize their levels."

Everyone nodded seriously and left to do their job.

Kylo also took a seat at corner of this spacious world.

After using first few days to store the energy inside the sword, he used rest of the days to hone his Techniques and Laws.

*CRACKLE* *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE*

A couple of weeks passed since everyone started training. The first one to show effect was surprisingly Selena.

With the help of the energy of the cave the seal inside her broke.

*RUMBLE*

Even the cave started shaking a little. The energy helped Selena breakthrough.

[....The Hell!?]

Kylo was stunned seeing this. He stopped practicing his {Dance of Sword God}. He never expected something like this to happen!

The stage above True Supremo, the True King Stage!!

She was in the same stage as Kylo was when he met Rosalyn. (A/N1)

"Ohhhhhhhhh" Lena directly jumped on her seeing her breakthrough. Her eyes revealed genuine happiness.

After centuries of being sealed without able to cultivate, to be able to breakthrough True King Stage was definitely a happy news for them.

Everyone eventually gathered around Selena to congratulate her.

Avery was happy yet sad.

Happy because Kylo would have a more reliable helper. Sad because she wasn't the one.

In the end with determined eyes after a short celebration she went to train once again.

***

*BANG*

Almost 100 days passed. Avery, without any suspense just broke through to Zeta Stage.

Before starting their short seclusion Avery already had been at 3rd Step of Epsilon Stage.

Her breaking through Zeta Stage which was equivalent to Spirit Manipulation Stage was no surprise to anyone.

One thing that made Kylo more happier these days was the triplets breakthrough.

All of them broke through to True King Realm! Kylo now had 3 True King Realm experts under him!!

Even in kingdoms the triplets would be considered powerhouses.

Seeing everyone was ready he left even though there were still few days remaining of their schedule.

***

The moment they stepped on 101st step, Kylo and the others immediately noticed the change.

Initially he thought that the 500 steps would supply them with energy and help them breakthrough few more stages but they now knew their guess were wrong.

The earlier 100 steps provided them every to breakthrough cultivation realms.

Now it was emitting a pressure which would help them in improving their body and physique.

No one here had a special physique except Avery. And that too was only Kylo's guess.

Because with his level, seeing Avery's physique was a pipe dream. If she had a physique then next 100 steps would help her in awakening the physique.

"It seems every 100 step there will be different things that will help us grow." Elena commented coolly.

"So this is like improving and solidifying our foundation..." Selena commented after pondering for a moment.

"I thought I would have few more breakthroughs." Avery said in a disappointed tone.

<Master should we proceed?> It was Nigel who asked Kylo seeing him standing in a daze.

They all thought Kylo was surprised by the setup which would help the group increase their foundation.

But who knew Kylo was in a daze not because he was happy to found something like this.

But because...

[Another useless thing!!!!!]

... He couldn't get any benefit once again!
