"Effectively shorten the time and save resources?"
Hearing what Kunlun Immortal King said, Li Xian was indeed somewhat tempted.
He already felt that sixteen hundred years was rather long, but the transformation from a grotto-heaven into a world involved a process. Even if he kept piling on resources, diminishing returns meant he could not shorten the time by much.
Instead, the resources consumed would multiply.
Now, by working on himself and improving the efficiency of his will to shorten the time needed to break through, ten thousand years could be reduced to eight thousand, or six thousand.

Kunlun Immortal King said, "In today's world, breaking through to Golden Immortal is so difficult precisely because Mysterious Immortals face far too severe a backlash when trying to merge their worlds into the Great Dao Source.
