CHAPTER 1102: CHAPTER 341: "EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN PATH.

Under his extremely exaggerated cultivation speed, his cultivation is rapidly advancing.

He did not consume those fruits that could enhance cultivation progress, but distributed them to the members of the Chao Tian Sect.

During this period, his cultivation had already settled completely, and had reached—

-

"Cultivation": Heavenly Immortal Stage Level 2 (17.0%).

-

It took him two years to advance from Heavenly Immortal Stage Level 1 to Level 2, a speed that exceeds ninety-nine percent of cultivators at the same level. For regular cultivators of this level, advancing a small realm usually takes centuries.

This is even when the majority of Heavenly Immortal cultivators possess methods to increase cultivation speed, such as top-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays. Without these, it would take millennia.

The reason he didn’t consume those fruits.

Is simply because he planned to go into seclusion for ten years. If he were to elevate his cultivation rapidly to the "Heavenly Immortal Peak," he would then have to prepare for the "True Immortal Tribulation," which would make seclusion impossible.

He planned to go into seclusion for ten years because he had a "White Entry Family Bucket," which he had previously exploded, losing nearly three thousand entries.

Through a twist of fate, he acquired a treasure.

The "White Emperor Banner."

By collecting all the white entries, you can obtain a complete form of the Emperor Banner. Furthermore, possessing over ninety percent of the white entries grants you a new one daily, taking roughly ten years to amass three thousand entries.

Because the three thousand white entries he exploded at that time all had considerably negative effects, it was inconvenient for him to take action during these ten years.

Secluded cultivation was most fitting.

When the ten years were up, he could explode all these white entries again, making him feel refreshed for a new journey.

Both the "Devouring Treasure Spirit Tree" and the "World Tree" bear fruit every three months.

Three years passed.

They had borne fruit 12 times, and he had accumulated a significant amount of top-grade spirit stones, which could fully activate numerous puppets at the "Heavenly Immortal Peak" cultivation, but... he no longer needed these puppets.

With his current strength, he could even single-handedly take on all these puppets.

This is life.

When you desperately need something, it seems out of reach, but once it is within reach, you realize you no longer need it as much.

His power made a qualitative leap after the Seventh Prince gifted him that pink entry.

The more entries he has, the stronger his spells and cultivation methods become. The Seventh Prince knew only that he had many entries but did not know exactly how many. This entry allowed him to use nearly all its power.

...

Just like that, nearly seven more years quietly passed by.

In another three months, Chen Qiu would have been in seclusion for ten years. Last time, Chen Qiu disappeared from everyone’s sight for seven years; this time, it was ten years.

Ten years might be long for ordinary people, but for high-level immortals, it’s just the time for one meditation session.

Never mind Heavenly Immortals.

Even for those in the Integration or Void Refining stages, it’s perfectly normal for a secluded session to take ten years, but it’s the longest seclusion he’s had in his life.

At this moment, Chen Qiu sat cross-legged, covered in frost, motionless in the Taunting Heaven Palace’s square. After restoring nearly all the white entries he had exploded, his body returned to a state of immobility.

Now he could no longer cultivate, as spiritual energy was hard to circulate efficiently. He had already sat there like this for a whole month.

There were still three months left to acquire the remaining white entries. Sitting there unable to cultivate, like a plant, for a month had already been torturous for him, and another three months would be even more so.

But having waited more than nine years, three more months were inconsequential.

During these nine years, although he had no contact with the outside world, nothing significant concerning him had happened. After all, the members of the Chao Tian Sect stayed with him, cultivating in the Taunting Heaven Palace, and before entering, he had already handled many matters. What major things could happen?

...

"Where did this guy run off to again..."

In Central State City, the bored Jiang Buping sat on the city wall, dazedly gazing at the horizon. He hadn’t heard any news of Chen Qiu for almost ten years and couldn’t track him down at all, not even with divination providing any clues.

Ten years...

The Central State’s independently organized "Ascension Conference" had already reached its tenth session, yet news of Chen Qiu was nowhere to be found.

If it were anyone else, he would find it normal, thinking that a ten-year seclusion was nothing unusual, but... does Chen Qiu really need to go into seclusion?

With Chen Qiu’s rate of cultivation progression, and the seven-colored entry he won at the auction capable of planting the "World Tree," does Chen Qiu really need seclusion? If planted in the Nihility, wouldn’t the spirit fruits drop abundantly, allowing cultivation to break through just by casually consuming some?

All the treasures that directly enhance cultivation progress.

Definitely offer higher value as one’s cultivation level increases.

The same spirit fruit that boosts cultivation progress by 10% won’t have the same effect when consumed at the Heavenly Immortal Stage as it would at the Golden Core Stage. Therefore, many who acquire such treasures don’t use them immediately but save them until they feel their cultivation has reached a bottleneck, beyond which breakthroughs become exceedingly difficult.
