If not.
If one merely switched to cultivating the Nascent Soul Realm Tai Hao Xuan Yuan Scripture and assumed that meant one had successfully converted to this technique.
Then if another cultivator of the same rank who also cultivated the Tai Hao Xuan Yuan Scripture came along.
There would likely be some disparity in strength between the two sides.
Even their cultivation speeds would differ.
And this was precisely the drawback of not starting from the beginning and cultivating the Tai Hao Xuan Yuan Scripture to completion.
Not doing so would leave one's strength somewhat weaker and might even affect one's cultivation speed. The loss outweighed the gain.
All it saved was a short stretch of time.
What was lost, however, was one's own strength.
Such a thing was utterly unacceptable to He Song.
As an Immortal.
He Song could spend more time strengthening himself.
But he could not possibly sacrifice the chance to reach the peak of his strength merely to save a little time.
Strength was what He Song pursued most.
As for time.
As an Immortal, he had no shortage of it at all.
Therefore, when He Song next converted to the Golden Core Tai Hao Xuan Yuan Scripture, he spent quite a bit of time on it.
Only after He Song had completely converted to the Golden Core Tai Hao Xuan Yuan Scripture.
And sensed his strength increasing further.
Did a trace of satisfaction flash across his face.
The Golden Core Tai Hao Xuan Yuan Scripture brought He Song a rather considerable increase in strength.
By He Song's estimation.
If the technique he had cultivated back in the Golden Core Realm had been the Tai Hao Xuan Yuan Scripture.
Then his strength during the Golden Core Realm would likely have far surpassed that of Golden Core
