1 week later!It was the middle of the night, Julius was currently alone in the courtyard of his residence, his mother was asleep deeply, his father was sleeping out on business, his personal servant was in the lodgings made specifically for the employees, as for the guards, Julius was sure he had none within 100 meters of his house.
You could say it was just him and no one else.

Julius was sitting in a lotus position, his breathing followed a certain rhythm, whenever he inspired, a transparent and slightly bluish ma.s.s would enter his nostrils, and when he exhaled, a ma.s.s of black air would leak.
From time to time Julius frowned in pain and after almost 4 hours repeating the same thing, he finally opened his eyes and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
- I haven"t used this technique in thousands of years, but no matter how many times I use it, I"m always shocked and wondering how I created such a thing... - Julius said happily.
Nowadays, of his more than 800 open Meridians, he had opened another 100, that in only 4 hours.
In the body there are at least 25,600 Meridians, normal people have about 50~100 open Meridians, those above average have 150~200 Meridians, Small Genii have 250~400 Meridians, Genii have 500~700 Meridians, Big Genii have +800 open Meridians.
Of course, this is taking this world as a base, the quality of Heaven and Earth Energy here is terrible, the biggest reason for so many clogged Meridians.
It takes a lot of luck and spiritual talent to advance, of course, not to mention the tons of wasted crop material.
And of the 25,600 Meridians in the body, 256 are Primary Meridians, the main Meridians of the body, are also those that are connected to Dantian, normally a cultivator has 3~5 Primary Meridians open, they are also the ones that facilitate the transformation of any Energy into Qi.
Soon after are the Secondary Meridians, there are 2,560 in total, they do not connect to the Dantian, but to the Primary Meridians, serving to facilitate the circulation of Qi and all kinds of Energy, it can be said that they would be the small underground rivers connected to the large rivers (Primary Meridians) that are connecting to the sea (Dantian).
Finally there are the Tertiary Meridians, there are 22,784 in total and you can see them as small nets, which serve to filter more easily the impurities of the "water" in the rivers and sea.
In his past life, opening all the Tertiary Meridians was extremely simple, there were treasures and techniques that could achieve such a feat with great ease, he himself knows more than 1,000 of these techniques, as well as more than 100,000 treasures capable of it.
As for the Secondary Meridians, he knows only 5 techniques capable of it, as well as almost 100 treasures.
And the Primary Meridians... Julius knows 2 Techniques, being the first one, the second one was a Technique that he got from an ancient and extremely dangerous ruin, but the technique is only capable of opening 200 of the 256 Primary Meridians.
But that 200 would be enough for a Cultivator to ascend to heaven at the speed of Cultivation.
Before he cultivated [Breaking the Line], Julius had less than 2,000 Meridians open, 12 of which were Primary Meridians, which can be considered somewhat shocking, a rare talent!
But after he opened all the Meridians with [Boundary Breaking], Julius saw the huge difference, it can be said that his cultivation speed increased by more than 1,000 times, the biggest reason for him in less than 300,000 years, to become a G.o.d, and with less than 400,000 years, to have become a Universal G.o.d and even a G.o.d of the Cosmos.
Of course, all the open Meridians were only one part, another great factor was the Layers 4, 5 and 6 of the Technique [Boundary Breaking], because it increased his understanding immensely, which allowed him to easily overcome all the Realms without obstacles, he only needed to acc.u.mulate the necessary Qi for such a thing.
…
- Given my current speed, it will take 3 months for me to open all 25,600 Meridians... - Julius said as he scratched his chin thoughtfully. - Well, I will cultivate for 6 hours daily, the rest I will practice other techniques.
With that decided, Julius practiced another 2 hours the Technique [Breaking the Limit] and after opening 20 more Tertiary Meridians, he began to search through his mind Cultivation Techniques, Movement Techniques, and so on.
- Due to my current body, as well as the quality of this world being extremely low, not being able to withstand Cultivation Techniques, Divine Degree, I will be forced to cultivate a garbage of Sky Degree, but it is better than nothing. - Julius said as he sighed.
Soon he searched through his mind Sky Grade Cultivation Techniques, which would be millions, he was the Supreme of an entire Universe, many Cultivation Techniques entered his hands and through boredom, he read them many times, which further deepened his knowledge.
And soon he found a perfect Cultivation Technique for his body, it even seemed that it was created for his body, [Art of the Celestial Dragon King], a Sky Grade Cultivation Technique, being at the peak of the Sky Grade, was a Technique that he acquired by having beaten the son of the Golden Dragon Emperor, Julius very much wanted to kill this arrogant "child", but in the end the Golden Dragon Emperor begged him for the life of his beloved son and after a great compensation, Julius let them go, this Cultivation Technique was in the middle of the compensation.
The [Art of the Celestial Dragon King] has 7 Layers, in addition to having a great ability to refine Qi, and can transform any Energy into Qi, this Technique will also greatly modify his physique, leaving his body as resistant as that of a Celestial Dragon, and can even compare to a Celestial Dragon King.
Of course, it is not so easy, if it were a Celestial Dragon cultivating this Cultivation Technique, coming directly from the Royal Lineage of the Celestial Dragons, they could in a few thousand years have the chance to reach the 7th Layer, having a force compared to a Celestial Dragon King.
But if another race to cultivate, clearly the physical will not be so powerful, since the Technique was created specifically for that race and not for others, but one can try to copy at least 70~80%, which for the current situation of Julius, this would be fantastic.
And in his view, it would take him 500 years to reach the 7th Layer of Technique, of course, if he did not use any treasure that has Celestial or Draconic Energy.
Julius then concentrated on remembering the details of the [Art of the Celestial Dragon King], in a little less than 10 minutes he already began to use the circulation of the technique and with the first use, Julius realized the astronomical difference of his current cultivation technique to that which his grandfather gave him.
It can be said that the difference is 100,000x, but of course, Julius had to make some changes in the Cultivation Technique, [Art of the Celestial Dragon King], because they came from different Existential Planes, but the basis is practically the same.
He only needed to adapt it for the current cultivation of the world and then began to cultivate it, reason for the 10 minutes spent, he had remembered all its content in just 15 seconds, the remaining 9 minutes and 45 seconds were used to adapt the technique to the current cultivation system.
The 1st Layer of the [Art of the Celestial Dragon King], called Restructuring the Body of the Celestial Dragon, is intended to prepare and purify a little the physicist of the cultivator, if he is a Celestial Dragon, he will practically jump to the 2nd Layer, but since Julius is not, he would have to pa.s.s through the 1st Layer.
But when this restructuring is completed, he will see an increase of at least 2 times in his strength, speed, defense and Qi capacity.
…
Two hours later!
Julius suddenly felt his Qi boil, this made him frown and quickly he pressed hard, the area in his Dantian, suddenly he felt an intense pain all over his body, which lasted 10 minutes.
What did Julius just do? Simple. He has just failed in his advance to Stage 5 of Bronze Fighter, he has just wasted his last weeks of Cultivation, the reason for that? Simple too. If Julius went ahead, his grandfather would certainly a.n.a.lyze his body to find out how he is and for sure, he would realize that there was something wrong with his grandson"s body.
Julius then decided to go through the pain of failing in a breakthrough, rather than having to explain himself to his grandfather about what he was Cultivating.
- At least then I"ll have 1 month to prepare and create the Earth Grade Physical Stealth Matrix. - Julius said calmly.
The Earth Grade Physical Stealth Matrix is a Matrix used in someone"s body, capable of hiding what one wants to be hidden from the eyes of others, has several Degrees, the higher the Degree, the fewer people will be able to see behind the Matrix when inspecting their bodies.
Of course, if an experienced Earth Grade Matrix Master appeared and a.n.a.lyzed his body, Julius would be easily seen, but he finds it unlikely that there is such a person in this world, Julius realized several deficiencies in this world, and even if there is an Earth Grade Matrix Master, it would be the lowest level, which would be garbage in his eyes.
- Young Master, are you cultivating? - Suddenly a graceful figure appeared not far from him, looking at Julius saw his personal maid, long blond hair and a white skin, the name of this extraordinary beauty and Hilda.
Only now did Julius realize that it had already dawned.
- No, I have now finished cultivating. - Julius said casually when he got up, Hilda did not say much and just followed Julius inside, there Julius went to the bathroom, where he took a bath and then Hilda helped him to get dressed.
Then Julius had lunch with the family and then went to meet his grandfather, where he received some lessons, which are useless, but Julius had to keep the disguise of an innocent and naive child, who is a genius, able to learn everything in a matter of moments, but of course, it takes him a while to understand, not to bring more problems than now.
Someone very talented always draws attention, whether she is good or bad, if by any chance he draws the attention of people with bad intentions and who have a high position and power, a slave trader for example, his family would not even know what happened and when they knew, it would be too late, Julius would probably have already been kidnapped and sold for millions of credits to some underground organization, who always seek talents to serve them.
Julius knows this because even being a child, he has very keen and powerful senses, he was able to hear various things from his grandfather and father, he knew about the existence of such organizations, some of which the Kingdom of Clear Waters dare not look, afraid of suddenly being exterminated.
…
Soon the night arrived and Julius again alone, began to a.n.a.lyze Body Culture Techniques.
Unlike normal Cultivation Techniques, which use Qi to strengthen themselves, a Body Culture Technique strengthens the body in general, using something called Life Force.
Qi can absurdly increase the life expectancy of a Spiritual Cultivator, so called those who follow the normal path of cultivation, without saying that advances are rapid, even more so the greater the talent of the individual.
On the other hand, Vital Force would be the use of Energies, transforming them into Vital Force, which even if it increases life expectancy, is not as much as Qi, but in exchange, the force of the Vital Cultivator, so called these types of Cultivators, will be tens to hundreds of times stronger than those of the same Realm, but there is another enormous problem, the speed of cultivation is extremely slow.
While a Spiritual Cultivator strengthens with Qi without stopping, and may live for thousands or even millions of years, a Life Cultivator hardly exceeds one million years.
Of course, this would be for the G.o.ds, since only the G.o.ds can live for millions of years, but only a Life Cultivator who has attained the Realm of the Nebulous G.o.d would be able to live for a million years.
And one can see the enormous difference between the two, which is the fact that Vital Cultivators must have unshakable willpower, for any slip-up is certain death!
With every advance in the realms comes a tremendous pain which is capable of breaking the mind of any ordinary cultivator, even Julius felt that the Vital Cultivators were mad and m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic, but he knows that such suffering is worth it.
And for Vital Cultivators, talent is worthless, no matter if you can absorb any kind of Energy from the air as if it were a waterfall, if you can"t train your body properly and endure all the pain that comes, just give up.
That"s why in your past life and no matter what the universe, Vital Cultivators have always been a minority, even though they were extremely powerful, it was because everyone wanted a long life and the ability to advance even faster, but if they were a Vital Cultivator, their life expectancy would be very low, just like if they ended up getting to a bottleneck, they could be trapped there forever.
Julius saw many such cases, talented people who even having immense willpower, could not bear the pain and got stuck in their bottlenecks.
And why was Julius thinking of using such a path? Simple, he has a G.o.d-grade Body Culture Technique, which is practically stupid of him, since the higher the Technique Degree, the greater the pain that will be felt.
But Julius didn"t care about the pain, he had only become a G.o.d of the Cosmos by cultivating both paths at the same time.
When he was about 150,000 years old, Julius had an epiphany of normal and Body Cultivation Techniques, if someone took the two paths to high levels, what would happen?
And since then Julius walked 2 paths of Cultivation, tens of thousands of years later, he became a Supreme, even among the 23 Supremes, he was the strongest due to this choice he made in the past.
And the Technique of Body Culture that he will use will be the G.o.d-grade [Body of the G.o.d of War], thousands of steps above a Divine Grade Technique.
There are no layers, but Levels and Stages, which are similar to the Realms of Cultivation.
Let"s put it this way, Level 1, Stage 1, would be compared to an Iron Fighter, Stage 1 and so on.
He didn"t need to adapt the technique to this cultivation system, because it does that naturally, since it is not something trapped in the Realms of Cultivation, it is only used to improve the body, the Realms of Cultivation, only serve as a basis for its advances.
And what is the difference in strength between the Cultivation Realms and [Body of the G.o.d of War]? No big deal, just 100x bigger than those of the same Realm and Stage.
Yes, you haven"t read it wrongly, you are 100 times bigger than those of the same Kingdom and Stage, since it is a G.o.d Grade Technique and as it doesn"t cultivate Qi, it doesn"t go against the natural Laws, it doesn"t cause anomalies in the world and it exceeds its limit, since it has something to do with the body.
And to cultivate it was simple, Julius joined all the Qi in his Dantian and started moving it carefully to the left, then he started to knead the Qi in that area, until it was compressed and took only half of his Dantian.
Julius then began to use the [Body of the G.o.d of War], large amounts of Energy from Heaven and Earth, as well as any other kind of surrounding Energy, into his body, where he made a strange circulation, which caused great pain to Julius, but he sawed his teeth and persevered.
3 hours later Julius threw up a big piece of red blood, but he didn"t care and continued to cultivate.
Another 3 hours later, Julius aggressively started tearing his clothes, his eyes were dyed red, the pain he felt was something absurd and awesome, never that a 6 year old child could stand such a thing and not become a r.e.t.a.r.d the next moment.
But Julius was no ordinary child! He wanted to howl in pain, but he did not, because he did not want to attract attention or worry his parents.
And so the pain continued for 1 hour, until finally disappeared and Julius fell on the lawn of the courtyard, sweating like a pig, his breathing was heavy, but with a look, it was possible to realize that the muscles throughout Julius" body became more compact and defined, even being a 6 year old child, many bodybuilders would be very jealous.
Julius unfortunately did not advance to Level 1, Stage 1, so it can be said that he completed only 3~5% of progress, which was enough to improve his physical strength in 3~5 times.
With only his physique, Julius could easily beat an Iron Fighter, Stage 2, with his bare hands.
And Julius still wanted to practice a Movement Technique called [Art of Countless Shadows], Earth Grade Movement Technique, different from the Cultivation Technique, which can be high-grade and do not cause serious problems to the body, Movement Techniques, Combat and others that require constant movement of the body, drain a lot of energy, so there is a limit to how much you can chew.
For today"s Julius, an Earth Grade Technique, is his limit, if he tries to use a Sky Grade Technique, Julius could have all his bones becoming flour the next instant, he does not want to die, so he will force himself to use Earth Grade Techniques, something he never looked at again after becoming a G.o.d.
But unfortunately there was no more time to cultivate and he was exhausted, so Julius went to his room and fell asleep.
His maid came to wake him up, but no matter what he did, Julius did not wake up, he was in a deep sleep, but this worried the maid who alerted Angelica and Diogo, who when they came to a.s.sess Julius" situation, realized that he was just exhausted.
Diogo wanted to a.s.sess the grandson"s situation using his Qi, but decided that it was better not, because it might hinder the grandson"s rest, he knows that his grandson is very sensitive to these things, Julius may not demonstrate, but he as a grandfather realized that his grandson becomes uncomfortable when he inspects his body with his own Qi, so he rarely a.s.sesses the grandson"s body now.
