15 years was considered a long time for commoners as it was almost one-fifth of their lifetime.
However, for a high level martial artist, fifteen years was not a long time at all. They did not know that it was not a big deal for a high level martial artist to live up to a hundred or two hundred years old.
For Heavenly Dragon Realm and Divine Dragon Realm warriors, it was normal for them to live up to 200 to 300 years old if they were not killed.
The lifespan of Demigod Realm warriors was naturally longer as they could live up to 500 to 1,000 years old or even longer.
The lifespan of Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses went without saying, they could easily live more than 2000 years, but normally, they couldn't live past 5000 years.
Since high-level warriors had such a long lifespan, 15 years was nothing compared to their long lifespan. Moreover, Xiao Chen had only spent 15 years in a magical space where time was sped up by five times.
15 years in the space was equivalent to three years in the outside world.
In other words, Xiao Chen and his brothers had spent 15 years in the space where time was sped up but their actual age had only increased by three years. Three years ago, Xiao Chen was 20 years old and he was 23 years old now.
23 years old was considered a very young age for a warrior as commoners would reach 30 years old, let alone a warrior.
In these 15 years, Da Huang had advanced from the first stage of the half-saint beast realm to the third stage of the half-saint realm. Although it was only a difference of two stages, his strength had increased tremendously. Currently, Da Huang's combat strength was at least 10 times stronger than three years ago.
Fengsha Sword's strength had recovered quite a bit. Five years ago, he had been healed by the Power of Faith and his strength had recovered to the peak of the third stage of the Divine Dragon Realm. He was only one step away from entering the demigod realm.
Now, the Queen Mother Wu Cauldron had once again accumulated some power of faith. The power of faith stored five years ago had all been used up. Xiao Chen planned to accumulate another ten years of power of faith and then help the Infernal Sword break through to become a low-grade divine weapon.
Da Huang and Fengsha Sword's strength had improved tremendously. What about Xiao Chen? He should not be too far off, right?
Right now, Xiao Chen was in a state of cultivation. This time, he had been cultivating for quite a long time. It was not one or three months or half a year but … three years.
That's right!
Xiao Chen had been cultivating for almost three years. It was a terrifying amount of time. He was not a Heavenly God, so he shouldn't have been cultivating for such a long time.
Putting aside the Heavenly God Realm, Xiao Chen had not even made a breakthrough to the Demigod Realm yet. 15 years ago, Xiao Chen's cultivation base was at the Peak Stage 3 Earth Dragon Realm. 15 years later, his cultivation base had reached the Peak Stage 3 Divine Dragon Realm.
In fifteen years, Xiao Chen's cultivation had risen by two realms. This cultivation speed was already very terrifying for ordinary cultivators. They would laugh even in their dreams.
However …
This cultivation speed was too slow for Xiao Chen, who was gifted with monstrous talent and heaven-defying opportunities. Xiao Chen was not satisfied that he had only advanced two realms in 15 years. He was not satisfied at all.
Xiao Chen's original hope was to break through to the Demigod Realm within 15 years, even if it was only the first stage of the Demigod Realm.
If he could not even achieve this, then the oath that Xiao Chen made to Zhangsun Wudi would become a complete joke.
Without the cultivation base of the Demigod Realm, even if he had reached the Peak Stage 3 Divine Dragon Realm and merged with the half-sage Draco Lion Beast, he might not be able to defeat Zhangsun Wudi, who was at the first stage of the Heavenly God Realm.
Therefore!
Xiao Chen had to break through to the Demigod Realm before he left the White Fog Forest, even if it was only the first stage of the Demigod Realm. This was the minimum requirement he had for himself. It would be best if he could reach a higher cultivation base.
However, things did not go as he wished. Xiao Chen's cultivation base had been stuck at the Peak Stage 3 Divine Dragon Realm for five years.
That's right, it had been five years.
Five years ago, Xiao Chen's cultivation base had already reached the Peak Stage 3 Divine Dragon Realm. Now, his cultivation base was still at the Peak Stage 3 Divine Dragon Realm. In other words, he had been stuck at the Peak Stage 3 Divine Dragon Realm for five years.
Could it be that Xiao Chen's cultivation talent was so bad that he could not break through to the Demigod Realm?
It should not be.
If Xiao Chen's cultivation talent was bad, then what about other cultivators? Trash?
In fact, it was not that Xiao Chen's cultivation talent was bad, nor was it that his comprehension ability was bad. It was just that he had encountered a huge problem, a huge problem that gave him a headache.
The problem lay in Xiao Chen's humanoid spirit body. The Demigod Realm was to nurture a humanoid spirit body inside the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball, and then undergo a qualitative change to become a humanoid spirit body.
However, Xiao Chen already had a humanoid spirit body inside his dantian, and he did not have a Spiritual Energy Solid Ball. Therefore, he had broken the rules of cultivation for cultivators, and he did not cultivate according to common sense.
Hence, there was a problem.
The mark of a Demigod Realm expert was to create a humanoid spirit body inside the Soul Energy Solid Ball. This was normal cultivation, but Xiao Chen had skipped this step. If he wanted to break through to the Demigod Realm, he would naturally face a problem.
Three years ago, Xiao Chen already had a headache. After his cultivation base reached the Peak Stage 3 Divine Dragon Realm, he naturally knew the mark of the Demigod Realm. However, he could not go back to the Demigod Realm because he had changed the Spiritual Energy Solid Ball.
Right? Or was it wrong?
Xiao Chen began to doubt whether the cultivation method he had created was correct. Back then, he had created a new idea on impulse and obtained temporary benefits. Now, it seemed like he was suffering the consequences of his own actions? Digging his own grave?
The cultivation method, or rather, the cultivation system of cultivators, was created hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago by a senior cultivator with outstanding talent. Then, it was continuously developed and perfected by countless genius cultivators. In the end, it was basically set in stone.
Green Bull, Black Panther, White Tiger, Blood Bear, Purple Elephant, and so on. The cultivation methods of cultivators in each realm were already extremely perfect, and they were almost set in stone. Later on, the cultivation methods of the cultivators in the later generations were just copying them. They did not know how to innovate, nor did they dare to innovate.
Who had nothing better to do?
Innovating a new cultivation method was an extremely unrewarding thing. One wrong step and one would fall into eternal damnation. Even if they did not die, they would become completely inhuman and lose the right to continue cultivating.
Xiao Chen was bold and daring. He created a new cultivation method and seemed to have achieved success and obtained great benefits. However, when he tried to break through to the Demigod Realm, he was dumbfounded.
After failing in his attempts to break through to the Demigod Realm, Xiao Chen was a little depressed. However, he was not willing to give up and did not believe that his innovation was wrong.
Xiao Chen had his own reasons. He felt that if his innovation in the cultivation method was wrong, he would have been dead a long time ago. How could he still be alive now?
There must be a way!
Xiao Chen believed that there must be a way to solve the problem of cultivation. Therefore, he forced himself to regain his confidence and continued to think of a feasible solution. This went on for two years, but he still could not think of a feasible solution.
Three years ago, Xiao Chen, who was not willing to admit defeat, gave a few words to the Fengsha Sword and made up his mind to go into a long seclusion. He would not wake up until he found a way to break through to the Demigod Realm.
Cutting off all means of retreat!
In order to break through to the Demigod Realm, Xiao Chen decided to cut off all means of retreat. He would not stop until he reached his goal. He had no other way out. Only by thinking of a way to break through this obstacle could he improve his cultivation to the next level.
This time, he went into seclusion to comprehend and cultivate for quite a long time. Almost three years had passed.
