Because Duanyu Fan and Hu Liena needed to recover their soul power, they spent another four days in the Viper Sand Python's cave.
Xie Yue and Yan naturally had not been idle either. Xie Yue had even tried to climb to the top of the canyon, but halfway up, a pressure descended heavily upon him. The higher he climbed, the greater the pressure became, forcing him to give up.
"You're awake." After waiting four days, Xie Yue and Yan noticed Duanyu Fan and Hu Liena ending their Meditation Method.
"Xie Yue, how many days were we in meditation?" Duanyu Fan's first question upon waking was directed at Xie Yue.
"Just over four days," Xie Yue answered truthfully.
"As expected, they're all the same. No exceptions." Duanyu Fan took out some food.
"Senior Sister, here. What about you two? Have you eaten?" After handing food to Hu Liena, Duanyu Fan asked Xie Yue and Yan whether they had eaten.
"We just ate. It's morning now, and we've been keeping track of the day-night changes in here," Yan answered first.
"Alright. Once we finish eating, we'll set off and see just how many secrets Death Canyon still holds." Duanyu Fan began eating.
"Yes!"
Once Duanyu Fan had finished eating, the four of them began exploring deeper into Death Canyon.
At this point, Duanyu Fan was a level 46 Soul Ancestor.
Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena were all level 45 Soul Ancestors.
One year later...
After fighting monsters and leveling up along the way, Duanyu Fan had recently reached level 50 Soul Power, having gained four levels.
Hu Liena's Soul Power Level had risen to level 49, likewise gaining four levels just like Duanyu Fan.
Xie Yue and Yan were at level 48 Soul Power, having gained three levels.
