Lishui Palace.
Beside the lake, where scattered gold shimmered on the water, a man slowly opened his eyes.
This man was Jiang Ning. As his eyes opened, the golden light in them gradually faded, leaving only their brightness behind.
Then a panel appeared before him.
[Skill]: Solar Scripture (Beginner 0.3%)
Looking at the change in the progress bar, he could not help frowning.
Then he raised his head toward the sky.
The bright moon had grown exceptionally clear, hanging high above the treetops.
Compared with earlier, roughly two hours have passed! he thought.
Then he continued calculating. Two hours increased my progress by about one thousandth. At this rate, even if I spent an entire day on this cultivation method, I would only gain about one percent.
At that thought, he continued his calculations.
At this rate, it would take almost a hundred days-a full three months-for the Solar Scripture to advance from beginner to proficient.
Then his brows creased slightly.
What he lacked most now was time.
The Martial Saint had passed away in meditation, chaos was about to engulf the world, and the beings within the grotto-heaven blessed lands could launch another probing attack at any moment.
Although he had broken nine shackles, witnessed a new world and new vistas, and greatly increased his strength as a result, he still fell far short of the Martial Saint's level.
And at this critical juncture, a hundred days was enough for far too many unforeseen changes to occur.
He also understood that this pace was not due to poor aptitude. Rather, the Solar Scripture was a supreme method leading directly to the True Immortal level, making every step exceedingly difficult.
Reaching proficiency in a hundred days at this pace was not a sign of dull aptitude at all.
