Li Xiaoya was indeed concerned. The Immortal Sovereign had suddenly sent word through Dong Santong about the World Tree, along with a method for comprehending the life law and a large bag of essence blood from various divine beasts...
It all seemed like an act of kindness...
But the meaning hidden beneath it was that Li Xiaoya absolutely had to go to the World Tree!
Why did he think so?
Because reaching the World Tree required the cultivation of a True Immortal... Although Li Xiaoya's strength and divine abilities already surpassed those of ordinary True Immortals and divine beasts...
But! Li Xiaoya had, after all, only comprehended ninety-eight percent of the life law... He had been far too optimistic before, believing he could fully comprehend the remaining two percent in just one or two thousand years... Yet... Only later had he learned that, when an Immortal Tribulation Stage Great Cultivator advanced to True Immortal in the Cultivation World, those final two percent of comprehension were called Close at Hand, Far as the Horizon... It meant that the goal seemed only a single step away... Yet it was as distant as the horizon, seemingly without end...
Throughout the boundless ages of the Cultivation World... Countless Immortal Tribulation Stage Cultivators had reached this point in their comprehension of the laws... Only to find themselves unable to advance another inch... In the end, their lifespans ran out, and they were blasted to death by heavenly tribulation...
Though the various Greater Star Realms seemed to have few Immortal Tribulation Stage Cultivators... In truth, who knew how many were hidden away, trapped at this bottleneck, cultivating in seclusion to comprehend that final step of heavenly grace...
The fortunate ones... Might suddenly attain enlightenment after tens of thousands of years in seclusion and cross that threshold.
