"Phew..."
Six hours later, Liu Yu slowly concluded his cultivation and opened his eyes, a divine gleam flashing through them.
The grand phenomena accompanying his cultivation vanished as well.
Sensing the barely perceptible increase in his cultivation from this session, he immediately frowned.
At my current cultivation speed, reaching the nascent soul early-stage peak will probably take another two hundred and fifty years.
And that assumes I keep cultivating diligently with the spiritual energy supplied by Heaven-Reaching Peak.
After gauging the increase in his cultivation and making a few calculations, Liu Yu arrived at the time he needed to reach the peak of the early stage.
The magic power that had to be accumulated in the nascent soul realm was just as the "sea of magic power" in his dantian suggested-it could only be described as oceanic.
Moreover, every breakthrough to a minor stage required an even greater total accumulation of magic power, generally about twice that of the previous stage.
Of course, this did not mean nascent soul cultivators became less efficient at refining spiritual energy. On the contrary, their efficiency improved enormously compared with the golden core realm.
It was simply that, compared with the magic power they needed to accumulate, the gains from daily cultivation were far, far too small.
It was like trying to fill a dried-up ocean with a large wooden bucket-the process was far, far too slow.
Completing such an immense "project" would take hundreds of years, not to mention overcoming the many obstacles encountered during cultivation.
Because high-level resources were scarce, ordinary nascent soul cultivators could only consume pills and spirit treasures a handful of times per century on average.
Reaching the nascent soul early-stage peak took at least four hundred years or so, excluding the time needed to break through the bottleneck
