The Azure Flame Spirit Pool allowed seven days of cultivation, yet in just two days, Xu Xiao had broken through from the Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm to the Fourth-Level Venerable Martial Realm.
He was only two minor realms away from his limit, the Sixth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm.
The higher one's cultivation, the more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy one needed, making breakthroughs relatively harder. But this place lacked nothing if not Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and with no bottleneck between realms, breaking through was easier still.
"Perhaps I won't need two days. Just one will be enough for me to reach the Sixth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm."
Xu Xiao's heart surged with excitement. That would leave four days. If I spend them refining spiritual energy to transform my body, I might just raise my physical strength to the level of a Venerable.
Even if I fall short of a Venerable, reaching the level of a Grandmaster would be good enough.
In fact, Xu Xiao was far from alone. Most of the warriors cultivating in the Azure Flame Spirit Pool had reached the Venerable Martial Realm Third Layer or Fourth Layer.
There were even plenty of geniuses who had reached the fifth or sixth layer!
Their cultivation speed was astonishing.
Under normal circumstances, none of them would need the full seven days. Even the slowest would reach their limit within five days, their cultivation hitting a ceiling beyond which they could not break through.
They could then use the remaining time to transform their bodies and improve their physical strength.
Time trickled by. In the blink of an eye, another half day had passed.
"Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm."
"I'm just one step away from the Sixth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm—my limit."
