Converting technique experience to improve Mana Gathering chapter of the Cloud's Ascent technique.
Cloud's Ascent (100/100) -> Cloud's Ascent Advanced (0/100,000)
Mana Gathering level 10 (1000/1000) -> Mana Gathering level 11 (0/10,000)
'I went straight to level 11 when the technique advanced! Looks like the total amount of mana needed to increase my cultivation has increased dramatically. There's also still progression XP displayed next to my cultivation technique so maybe it could be advanced again when I reach the new limit? Well at least I don't have to worry about it for a long while looking at how much XP is needed.'
James soon returned to his regular routine of cultivation, sleep and feasting on Dew Milk. Almost immediately, James noticed a difference in the amount of mana he could absorb with the new advanced version of his technique. It seems the advancement of the cultivation technique not only raised the maximum reachable level but also made it more efficient in mana gathering.
2 years past in this way. Over this time, James became more familiar with his senior sister Liz. At first he thought she was pretty cold but as he soent more time with her, he found that she just took some time to warm up to people.
Liz would take care of James whenever Faldon needed to attend sect meetings or had to go out to complete missions. She would feed him the Dew Milk and explain her cultivation insights with him as if he'd be able to understand.
The years continued to go by and Enlightenment mountain had welcomed an atmosphere of a close family. Something that did not exist when it was just Faldon and Liz living on the peak.
'Finally, my hard work over the years has paid off, it only took me until I turned 4 years old.'

James found himself in the same void like space as before but this time, the light blue clouds around him have increased dramatically appearing like a sea of clouds stretching as far as the eye could see. Moving his eyes away from the amazing sight, James focused on the golden text in front of him.
Welcome host, please select one of the following advancement paths:
1. Synthesize Foundation Establishment chapter of the Cloud's Acent Advanced technique.
2. Use technique experience to improve Mana Gathering chapter of the Cloud's Ascent Advanced technique.
James didn't even need to think about it and selected the second option. He'd already decided to see just how high he could go within each realm.

Converting technique experience to improve Mana Gathering chapter of the Cloud's Ascent Advanced technique.
Cloud's Ascent Advance (100,000/100,000) -> Cloud's Ascent Perfected (0/100,000,000)
Mana Gathering level 99 (100,000/100,000) -> Mana Gathering level 100 (0/1,000,000)
'I can't believe level 100 isn't the limit. In most of the games in my previous life, level 100 was treated like the universal maxed level. Well looking at the insane amount of mana and XP needed to keep improving…don't think my daily routine will much for the next few years.'
James being 4 years old now is able to stay awake much long than before. His daily routine has stayed pretty much the same over all, rotating between cultivating, eating meals and sleeping. One thing that has changed is Faldon has allocated an hour each morning to guide James in his cultivation. Helping to answer his questions and giving him more insights on the intricacies of cultivation.
To Faldon's amazement, he observed James absorbing more and more mana over the years. He could not explain how the little guy's body could hold that much mana or how he could absorb mana faster than himself but he just chalked it up to the blessing of the Heavens.
Another change was that Faldon had added certain mana infused vegetables and meat to James' diet once he was old enough to consume things other than milk. James was really happy about that as he'd grown very tired of having the same taste of milk over and over again every day.
James' life soon retuned to normal. With the new perfected version of his technique, his mana gathering efficiency improved further, allowing him to absorb more mana at a faster rate.
6 years passed…
'Phew, finally managed to max out my cultivation level and technique XP again. Master Faldon told me he wanted me to join the other kids in tomorrow's cultivation lecture now that i'm 10 years old. While i'd much prefer to keep my regular schedule and use that time to cultivate, it couldn't hurt to meet some other people my own age. Especially since I grew up only spending time with Faldon and Liz. Who knows, I may even meet a young protagonist in the making haha. It would be good to know who's considered strong among my peers whether I decide to avoid them to remain low-key or befriend them to get some benefits.'

James was back in the void, clouds taking up his entire surroundings. In every direction he turned, all he could see were the light blue clouds of mana, as if he were standing in one giant cloud.
