Over the next three years, Xu Changxing refined pills while cultivating, compressing the true essence within him to ninety percent in one sustained effort.
By now, he had also accumulated over four thousand points and sixteen Phoenix Fire Returning Immortal Pills.
And at last, for the first time, he sensed the faint presence of a bottleneck.
Now, whenever he practiced the Great Wilderness Essence Suppression Art, the resistance was extraordinarily powerful.
Yet he did not feel that further breakthroughs were impossible.
With his previous experiences watching the simulations, he was quite confident that he could compress all his true essence to ninety-two percent without relying on outside assistance.
However, he did not take that risk. Instead, he lit a small piece of Immortal Epiphyllum Incense.
With the incense's assistance, he compressed his immortal essence to ninety-five percent in one sustained effort.
At this point, he could clearly sense the bottleneck to becoming a True Immortal.
Xu Changxing was utterly certain that he could smoothly break through to True Immortal with just a little outside assistance.
However, he had no intention of taking a shortcut to his breakthrough.
After feeling the pressure, he started another simulation.
In this simulation, he gave up on continuing to practice the Great Wilderness Essence Suppression Art after only a brief attempt and prepared to enter the True Immortal Pool.
Xu Changxing had no choice but to exercise his authority and reshape the course of the simulation.
And his outcome held no surprises.
After absorbing this experience, Xu Changxing started another simulation.
Over the next two months and more, he ran sixteen simulations in succession, and the outcome never changed.
Yet each time, he gained something new.
After absorbing the experience of sixteen consecutive failures, Xu Changxing's understanding of the Great Wilderness Essence Suppression Art had
