Then, it was only years later, after rising to the position as a Grand Teacher that he had managed to collect the 'second part' of the technique, which could be considered a continuation that brought the technique all the way up to the Middle Tier Heaven Grade. The most important thing was that in this transition from first to second part, one didn't have to scatter their cultivation and start anew, but instead could directly transfer their cultivation, even growing stronger in the process, as the two parts of technique followed the concept of a caterpillar and a butterfly, allowing the cultivator to 'shed their cocoon' and even increase their talent to an extent in the early stages.
