Lind spent the next 3 years simply exploring his new powers. Apprentice and Journeyman Tiers generally had an increase in Divine Qi, Dao power, and Mystery energy capacity. The facets of each layer then directed that power along the path forged by the cultivator, yet they were relatively comparable.
Luxor was a good example. Despite a bear and a dragon being massively opposite on the ends of the powerscale of predators, a Divine Realm of each could be relatively close in strength.
The Master Tier, however, blasted apart that balance. Lind's Time Layer had proven that harshly with the Bastard and in his other applications.
Very few could stop him if he was able to employ the full power of that layer alone.
Thus, he took great care as he dove into his Tapestry Layer. Now that his foundation was mostly consolidated, he could explore what he had gained.
His concern about affecting others via their bonds had been exaggerated in his mind. That was actually a great relief.
