The kids are moved into the woods to cross the mountains. These mountains were called as rakasi mountains by the outside world as there is special field around the mountains and if one tries to enter the mountains from the outside the world they won't be able to cross even a single mountain.
If one were to fly into the sky and look down they can see the arrangement of the mountains. They formed a maze type setting and only people from the inside can leave but the people from outside cannot enter. The strength of the beast in the mountains is relatively low even though no one is to hunt them as if they were suppressed from their original growth.
As they moved according to the map. Even thought that map didn't lead them out of these mountains it very useful to them as it shows the habitat of the beasts living in the mountains.
The trees in the forest are very high and full of green leaves. The trunks of some trees are even wider than their entire village. They did also gain some herbs which are used to alchemy. Even thought nakula is the only one who learnt from sumithra, but everyone also learned of the name, appearance and uses of the herbs. So, they all are fairly knowledgeable about the herbs.
They did also bump into some weak beasts and without to much effort they were able to kill them. They took some rest from time to time to be at the peak as they were in the unknown land and they don't know when they when they will be in danger.
As they learnt the survival skills from gupta they were easily able move in the mountains. Their continued without any danger.
From time to time they will also practise their martial arts and also spar with one another to get more stronger. It is chanakya's idea as he is the one with more knowledgeable than others and he know that in the outside world strength is above the law. Even though their meagre strength is not enough to stand above the law, their self-protection is guaranteed. As they had continued to spar with one another, their combat strength is also increasing exponentially.
Among all the kids viki is the one who is far more stronger than remaining ones. As his body strength is equal peak of the bone forging real cultivator. The remaining ones are also not too weak but they only have the strength of the peak tendon metamorphosis realm. They felt quite disappointed about it. If anyone were to learn about them being disappointed for having "only" the strength of the peak of the next realm, they will definitely beat them to the dirt. Because if one is able to fight across the realms in the outside world they will be treated as the core of those organisations. But they are disappointed quite hateful I say.
Only one is far weak compared to other in the group, well one when compared to the remaining kids he is weak but his strength is top when compared to the outside cultivators and he no one other than chanakya.
As that their journey continued in the mountains and they nearly travelled for the three months. But they are not crossed even thirty percent of the mountains as they don't know the exact route so they have to move in the direction the sun rise. It is the only way for them according to sumithra.
As they continued they did come across different types of beasts and according to gupta they were called as savage beasts and they move according to their instinct. These beast's flesh and blood is also the great material used in the body refining art they are practicing.
At the start of the journey their strength is peak of the tendon metamorphosis and their cultivation is peak of the blood transformation, but at present their cultivation didn't increased but as they are practising the body cultivation art their strength is now equal to primary stage of the bone forging stage and viki is even more high as his overall strength is primary stage of acupoint opening. Chanakya also made some progress and his strength is at the primary stage of the tendon metamorphism. But before they use the savage beasts blood in the cultivation it will be purified by yudhisthira. he will just have to use his yuan energy and it will be free of harmful impurities, but the violent energy in the blood will not be effect for the purification.
As their strength is increasing the effects of the beast flesh and blood of starts to decreasing. So, they were forced to hunt beasts which are stronger them. As they were hunting and sparing with each other their combat strength and alertness were steadily increasing. As viki's strength is far higher than them and he is growing more fast than other in both combat and strength, he is asked to stand out of the fight and if there is danger to any one of them only then he will enter into the hunt.
It has been 6 months since they start their journey and they had hunted more than five hundred of the beasts and cultivated the body cultivation art continuously with the help of the beast's flesh and blood. If it were to be any others they won't be able to cultivate using flesh and blood of the 500 hundred beasts in just 6 months. Even if they were to cultivate they will take at least 10 years and not any 10 years old kids were able to pull this stunt. The main factor is yudhisthira, as he is removing the complete the impurities in the blood, so they don't have to specially refine it and the next factor is the cultivation technique, whose grade is very high and it will ranked in one of the top most place in the entire world. This idea of increasing strength is not given by either gupta or sumithra, it is the idea of chanakya as he has read every book which is available to him he far more knowledgeable than others.
After 3 more months it is their 9th month in the mountains, they had face with some problem that is they were not able to refine their body anymore. As chanakya is more knowledgeable than others so they had asked him about the current situation.
He said according to the books one's body will reach saturation at some point and will not be able to take anymore energy. If one were to increase their cultivation or one's age increase they will be able to break the saturation point. So they has to breakthrough. Even though sumithra has not told them about the next realm to them but chanakya has read about the next realm in the books provided by sumithra.
It is called as tendon metamorphosis and in that real we will strengthen our tendons. So everyone is not fully knowledgeable about that realm but they don't have any other choice, so they chose to start their cultivation to breakthrough to the next realm. They thought that it will take sometime but they were able to breakthrough within ten minutes of circulation and that to they were not a bit strained from the breakthrough and felt like if they continued they will be able to cross the primary stage. but they didn't continued because they don't know anything about this realm.
After that they were again able to cultivate in the body cultivation art they were practicing. At that time also viki is far more stronger than others and he didn't breakthrough in his cultivation and only reached to the 14th stage of the blood condensation.
As his cultivation has not made any breakthrough the gap between the other kids are now decreasing and bheem is the one who is strongest among the kids in terms of body strength.
Their journey continued for 3 more months. Now it has been full one year from the start of their journey and they were all in the 1st stage of tendon metamorphosis except for viki who is in 14th stage of blood condensation. Even thought he didn't made any break through he is strongest one among all the kids.
