The Emperor Above Realm was divided into a total of Nine Heavens. Chen Yunxuan had yet to break through to the Ninth Heaven and was currently at the Eighth Heaven.
Now that Chen Changan was demanding a definite timeframe, Chen Yunxuan was somewhat unsure himself.
"Ancestor, how much time do you need?" Chen Yunxuan asked curiously.
"Would a few decades be enough?"
A few decades?
This... would be difficult, and no small difficulty at that.
"Ancestor, how about letting Ye Zhi Qiu, Gu Xian'er, and the others try for the first spot?"
"I really can't pull it off in just a few decades." Chen Yunxuan said with a bitter smile.
"True enough. A few decades is too short; it is rather hard on you."
"Do your best. I'll speak with the others too and see who can manage it."
"You will all break through sooner or later anyway. Who does so first makes no difference."
"I can't put too much pressure on you either."
Hearing Chen Changan say this, Chen Yunxuan felt relieved, but also deeply blamed himself.
All this time, he had cultivated diligently in hopes that one day he could help Chen Changan. Yet when Chen Changan truly needed him, he had dropped the ball instead.
After Chen Changan left, Chen Yunxuan entered an extreme state of cultivation, determined to raise his cultivation to the Ruler Realm in the shortest possible time.
Chen Changan then went to find Ye Zhi Qiu and the others, but their cultivation was roughly the same as Chen Yunxuan's.
They were all around the Emperor Above Realm Eighth Heaven. Breaking through to the Ruler Realm was not something that could be done overnight.
Chen Changan's consciousness returned to his true body, and he stopped paying attention to the situation in the Small World.
