"I've made a little headway with the Tianyuan Art."
In the Cultivation Zone.
Strands of Dao resonance flowed endlessly around Li Xian's fingertips, shifting into wind, thunder, fire, rain, water, dew, ice, frost, and other forms.
It had taken him thirty-three years in all to cultivate the Tianyuan Art to a level comparable to Tianyuan Daoist's.
That rate of progress...
Was not slow.
But it was certainly not fast either.
After all, although Tianyuan Daoist had received the Tianyuan Art's inheritance directly, Li Xian had used the Virtual Heaven Immortal Realm to simulate the workings of various Great Daos and face the Dao resonance of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
Although the simulations were bound to fall short of the mysteries of the actual Great Daos, spending thirty-three years merely bringing a single Secret Art to Minor Achievement still exceeded his expectations.
He had, after all, only spent a hundred years comprehending three supreme Secret Arts back then.
"Great Accomplishment, Perfection... the further I go, the harder it gets..."
Li Xian exhaled. "Come to think of it, since the Virtual Heaven Immortal Realm can simulate the Three Thousand Great Daos, could there be some treasure land that manifests the wonders of all Three Thousand Great Daos at once? If I could truly face their mysteries directly... my progress in the Tianyuan Art would advance a thousand miles a day. Perhaps I could master it completely in a few centuries, or even a few decades." He had already put this question to Deep Blue several times.
Unfortunately...
There were treasure lands containing several Great Daos, or even a dozen or more.
But Deep Blue could not find any treasure land containing all Three Thousand Great Daos.
Perhaps one existed, but it clearly lay beyond its access, or Li Xian's own level-nineteen
