The Ancient One started a livestream so everyone could see what she was doing.
[Group Member] Lu Mingfei lv119: It's been years, Grandmaster, but you're still as radiant as ever.
[Group Member] Klein Moretti lv29: Easy to talk big when you're level 119!
[Group Member] Lu Mingfei lv119: Not at all. The Fool just makes me look good.
Klein wanted to stuff this dragon's mouth with tentacles.
Lu Mingfei was delighted. Back when his level was low, he had suffered no end of humiliation and abuse, especially after his character had been reset to level 1.
He hadn't even dared speak loudly in the group!
Today, he could finally stand tall and tell everyone how things should be done!
"A Small Man Gloating"
Meng Chuan watched the Ancient One. He couldn't sense her aura through the livestream, but he could tell she had grown stronger still.
At this stage, though, time alone was no longer enough. She couldn't force her way through one barrier after another simply by spending enough years on them.
The Ancient One had reached the peak of True Immortal. Even if she sealed herself inside a time loop and cultivated like mad, she would certainly gain something, but it might not do her as much good as visiting other universes.
In the Immortal Ancient Era, True Immortals had lived for millions of years, yet they had still ended up where they were.
Of course, none of them could compare to the Ancient One. The gulf was enormous.
But if Shi Hao did nothing else—if you gave him a space trapped in a time loop, somewhere with nothing in it but him, and let him grind away for ages—
Without bloody battles, trials, or fellow cultivators, he could never have become an Immortal Emperor in so short
