Chu Kuangren had originally intended to leave seclusion immediately, but after obtaining the Blood Qi Divine Aura, he spent several more years in seclusion. With Xiao Ai's help, he quickly mastered this cultivation technique. While his combat strength had not increased enormously,
he was indeed stronger than before.
However, Chu Kuangren was not satisfied. His short-term goal was to command the Three Thousand Daos, but that path was incredibly difficult, growing harder the farther he went. At his current cultivation speed, he would need at least another hundred thousand years to have a chance of achieving it, and that was his most optimistic estimate.
That was simply too long for him now.
The Great World of Hongmeng held countless opportunities.
People were improving themselves at every moment. If he spent too long on the path of commanding the Three Thousand Daos, others might very well catch up to him.
Moreover,
the Church of Light would not give him time to keep growing.
"There's no use overthinking it. I can only take one step at a time. If there's truly no other way, I'll have to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm ahead of schedule..."
Chu Kuangren murmured.
A Primordial Chaos Realm attained by fusing several hundred Daos like his would have few equals throughout the universes. Such talent was already a rarity across the ages.
Boom!
Just then,
a boom sounded outside.
Someone had intruded into the restrictions Chu Kuangren had set.
"Who is it?"
He spread his Immortal Consciousness in a vast surge.
Soon, he discovered several black-robed cultivators rapidly approaching from outside the mountain range where he and Hei Xuan were staying.
One of them had accidentally touched a restriction, alerting him.
"This aura... people from the Darkness Clan?!"
Chu Kuangren could sense the dark aura emanating from them.
