I looked inside the ring my father Yang Kai gave me. And was both excited and a little annoyed. The contents were quite a bit different from the ring he gave me last time. There were tens of thousands of Source Crystals and Emperor Crystals. Aside from that, there were 3 sets of open heaven materials for the first 3 ranks. This meant I had a total of 9 sets.
"Father wants this one to refine all of the contents?" I asked with a look of difficulty on my face.
"Good, I won't have to explain. Now I know it's quite a tall task for you. So I'll give you a lesson on each of my grand daos. Are you ready?" Yang Kai said. As he spoke he realized that he was indeed a sort of caring father.
"Yes! I'm ready to learn from my honored father." I said, putting the ring away, followed by cupping my hands.
"Good! Then let us begin with a lesson on the spear dao." Yang Kai said, walking over to a clearing. "Everyone else is free to watch as well. You may learn a few things that will be of help to you later on." He added as he pulled out his spear.
I pulled my spear out and also went to the clearing. With the scene of my father and I practicing, A few of the monster beasts sat and watched as they saw their master playing. Though some of the Monster Beasts decided to continue their own training or go hunting.
The Monster race survivors were divided as well. Some of them decided to watch as their savior trained and grew stronger. These people were further divided into two types; One watched to see if they could learn something, the other was a bunch of the younger kids who watched in sort of awe like they were just happy to be somewhat close to me. The later group would also play around a little every now and then.

"That should be enough training with the spear. You have made a decent amount of improvement this time." Yang Kai said, putting his spear away and patting my head.
"Father praises this child too much. It was all thanks to my honored fathers guidance." I said putting my spear away and bowing respectfully with my hands cupped.
"Too humble. You have already reached the peak of what I call the first level of the spear. I can't wait to see where you get to in the Dao of Space and the Dao of Time." Yang Kai chuckled slightly while he spoke. "To think the greatest genius in my small universe was actually my very own son." Yang Kai thought to himself and smiled.
"I am ready to begin studying the Dao of space and the Dao of Time. Which one does father wish to begin with?" I said, excited.
The time spent with my father here helped me to improve much faster than I could on my own. It was true that having a master to help guide your cultivation was immensely helpful. I had also noticed during those four months that my cultivation had completely stabilized. This meant that the change in my physique didn't have any negative side effects. That was the only thing I was worried about. I'll ask my father to take a look at what happened later.
~~8 months later~~
My father had finished instructing me on the particulars of Dao of Space and Dao of Time. It was funny since the looks the on-lookers had showed they were slowly becoming bored. And even more confused as time went on. However, I now had an excellent understanding of these two daos. Even my Thunder Port travel skill had improved.
While I may have improved quite a fair amount this time. I did have to neglect others for a whole extra year. Over this time many monster beasts had made advancements. However none of them acquired a human form. Over two years of practice and not even a hint.
"These Monster beasts are not able to turn into human form. They don't have enough sense of a divine spirit. So it will be impossible. Moreover they can't handle the strength of such bloodlines. Just focus on advancing their monster cores." Yang Kai said to me and Huo Dai, who had come over to see the situation.
"Understood Senior. I think they will be a little relieved to hear the news. Since it has been rough on them these past 2 years." Huo Dai said.
"Good! Now then, son you have something you want to ask me, don't you?" Yang Kai said, turning to me and looking in my eyes.
"Yes, I was hoping father could take a look at my physique. I have been trying to understand the changes in it for a year now. But I am still confused. I know it is different from the Lightning True Body I had before." I said, almost instantly I felt a wave wash over me.
"Ahahaha, good! Very Good! You have the Sky Saint Body. It seems it has acquired all the positives of the Lightning True Body and given you a far stronger power. This is very good. I don't know if Dao Source Realms will be your opponent now. Though, you should continue to practice. You are only 14 years old now. There will be plenty of time for you to grow." Yang Kai said, in a really good mood before turning around disappearing in a single step.
~~BlueSky Pass outside Yang Kai's room.~~
Yang Kai walked out of his seclusion this time with a big smile on his face. Feng Ying was already waiting outside when Yang Kai came out.
"What's got you in such a good mood, Yang Kai?" Feng Ying asked.
"My son, Leiji. He is beyond impressive." Yang Kai said, sitting down next to Feng Ying.
"Hehehe, what did he do this time?" Feng Ying asked, then listened to Yang Kai explain for a bit. "Little Leiji did all of that! I knew he would reach the Saint realm by 20 years old. But he was 13 years old when he pulled it off." She said, nearly spitting her tea out in shock.
