One year, two years... ten years.
The Netherworld Cult had guarded the world membrane for ten years, and Li Yu had spent ten years researching as well.
Ten years passing was merely the blink of an eye among the myriad worlds, with hardly any change at all. But some people's changes were rather startling.
"Divine Soul? Patriarch... you've attained the Divine Soul?"
Fourteen-year-old Li Yu had already grown into a handsome youth!
In ten years, he had gone from Qi Drawing to the Divine Soul, then Golden Core, then the Yin Soul Stage. Then, in one stroke, he broke through the Life and Death Mysterious Pass and ascended to the Nascent Soul.
Such speed had frightened Xu Zhifei, who had been single-mindedly forging the "Thirty-Three Heavens of Grand Unity," out of seclusion.
"Tch! Who do you think Patriarch is? Ascending to the Nascent Soul is something I can do in minutes."
Li Yu waved a hand dismissively.
In truth, aside from reaching the Golden Core, Dragon-Tiger Convergence, and Heaven-Man Induction, which had allowed Li Yu to comprehend a portion of the Heaven and Earth laws, the other realms truly held little value.
Only by advancing as quickly as possible and reaching at least the level of Dao Integration within a hundred years could Li Yu come into contact with this world's "Dao"—the Heaven and Earth laws.
"Yes! Yes!"
Remembering that Patriarch had originally been a figure of the Eternity realm, Xu Zhifei was relieved.
"Patriarch, what are your plans next?"
Since Patriarch had raised his cultivation to the Nascent Soul, he surely had matters to attend to. Xu Zhifei hurriedly asked, hoping there might be something he could help with.
"No need! You all should focus on forging the world membrane. Patriarch will go out and take a look around."
