After pondering for a moment, Xu Changxing sank his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness and activated the Tianyan Pearl Projection.
The main reason he had been able to break through to this realm so quickly was the existence of this cheat.
Yet as his cultivation realm continued to rise, the Tianyan Pearl Projection's effects kept weakening.
When he had first set foot on the path of cultivation, every simulation had brought him tremendous gains.
Now, although the gains were still exceptionally rich, their proportion relative to his cultivation realm was gradually shrinking.
Meanwhile, the time he needed to obtain those gains kept increasing.
Before breaking through to Golden Immortal, he had even spent a thousand years running hundreds of simulations, barely accumulating enough.
Even then, he had needed to come to these Endless Planes in person to complete the final breakthrough.
Compared to the beginning, its efficiency had fallen by far more than a thousandfold.
Although the Tianyan Pearl Projection remained Xu Changxing's greatest trump card even with its efficiency reduced a thousandfold, his expectations for the Tianyan Pearl went far beyond this.
As he understood it, the Tianyan Pearl was one of the supreme treasures of this world. Its power should not have been limited to this.
