After all, these two events were certain to be recorded in the annals of history.

As a Cultivator, it was impossible not to know about them.

Soon, Wang Xiao found the answers he was looking for.

Nearly fifty years had passed since the end of the last Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth.

And nearly thirty years had passed since his own Ascension in the Daylight.

’Does that mean a year spent here is only a single day in the Real World?’

’If that’s true, then this place is nothing short of a paradise for Cultivation.’

’But I’ll have to verify it to know for sure.’

’I’ll cultivate here for a while first. When I go back, I’ll check the time in the Real World. That should give me a rough idea of the time flow ratio between the two worlds.’

Wang Xiao quickly made his decision.

He found a secluded mountaintop, carved out an abode, and then took out the resources he had purchased one by one, beginning to refine and absorb them.

A month later, Wang Xiao rose to his feet. Feeling the flow of the Five Elements circulating within him, he let out a soft breath.

After a month of Cultivation and refinement, he had finally fused his Five Viscera and Gang Qi, reaching the Realm of the Five Viscera Concealed God.

He was not far from a full recovery of his strength.

’Time to go back and see how much time has passed in the Real World.’

Wang Xiao connected directly to the Book of Space-Time and silently focused on the thought of ’return’.

In an instant, a golden ripple emanated from his body, pulsing with fluctuations of Space and Time.

His figure vanished from the Incense Realm.

「Real World」

Wang Xiao opened his eyes and immediately checked the time, making a quick mental calculation.

’Only a little over two hours have passed in the Real World. It seems the time flow ratio between the two worlds is about 365:1. One day in the Real World is equivalent to a year in the Incense Realm!’

Wang Xiao was secretly thrilled.

This meant he had more than enough time!

Unfortunately, the Incense Realm could only be used for Cultivation, not as a life-saving escape.

The transition took at least two to three seconds.

If he were to face a powerful enemy, forget two or three seconds—even one second would be enough time for Wang Xiao to die hundreds of times over.

’Oh well, being able to use it for Cultivation is good enough. I can’t be too greedy!’

After confirming the time, Wang Xiao once again traveled back to the Incense Realm and resumed his Cultivation.

A year later, his Inner Scene Yin Spirit had completely fused with his Gang Qi, and he finally formed his Great Daoist Nascent Soul.

Within his body, the Five Viscera transformed into a Tai Chi Diagram, creating a self-sustaining cycle of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements.

Wang Xiao didn’t stop. He continued to use Saint Level resources like the Nourishing Spirit Celestial Essence Liquid to constantly temper his Great Daoist Nascent Soul and refine his Yin Spirit Thoughts.

Then, using resources such as the Celestial Marrow Flower and the Purple Radiance Star Fruit, he continuously tempered and strengthened his physical body.

Finally, after five years, he reached the peak of his physical form.

His bones, his flesh, and even every single one of his cells began to sublimate and transition, undergoing a complete metamorphosis.

Waves of boundless power surged forth from his flesh and blood!

At that moment, Wang Xiao finally reached the level of Heaven and Earth! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

’The later stages of Cultivation take a long time. Even though I’m intimately familiar with all sorts of Cultivation Techniques, it still takes a while for my body to fully recover. After all, this is just an ordinary body; it can’t compare to the Ghost Infant’s physique.’

’Refining the boundless energy within these Saint Level resources also takes a considerable amount of time. If I go too fast, my body simply can’t handle it.’

’Based on my calculations, it will probably take another fifteen years to break through to the level of Vacuum Shattering!’

Wang Xiao calculated silently.

He glanced at his dwindling cultivation resources, then settled his mind and continued to cultivate.

「Fifteen years later.」

A brilliant golden light flared around Wang Xiao. His body erupted with a might comparable to a monstrous Fierce Beast as he threw a punch forward.

CRACK!

The void trembled violently, and tiny cracks appeared in Space itself.

At that moment, Wang Xiao had finally returned to his peak, reaching the Realm of Vacuum Shattering!

’Even with the help of Saint Level resources, it’s taking longer and longer. Thank goodness I have the Incense Realm. Otherwise, if I wanted to recover my strength this quickly, I probably would have needed the help of Divine Level Items, or even a Supreme Treasure.’

Wang Xiao shook his head.

He formed a Seal with his hands. His Great Daoist Nascent Soul and Inner Scene began to vibrate slowly as he prepared to cultivate the final Limit Breaking stage: One Thought Reaches Heaven!

One Thought Reaches Heaven was intrinsically linked to breaking through to become a Tier Six Life.

It involved merging one’s Inner Scene and Great Daoist Nascent Soul with Heaven and Earth to perceive the world’s underlying principles.

This step required one’s Yin Spirit Thoughts to be exceptionally refined; otherwise, one could become lost within Heaven and Earth.

Wang Xiao now had no resources left to aid him. He had no idea how long it would take to merge his Inner Scene and Great Daoist Nascent Soul with Heaven and Earth.

However, he didn’t plan to break through just yet. He merely wanted to use his remaining time to get a feel for the Cultivation of One Thought Reaches Heaven.

「Another five years passed.」

Wang Xiao slowly opened his eyes. His Inner World and Great Daoist Nascent Soul stopped vibrating.

The Cultivation of One Thought Reaches Heaven was much more difficult than he had imagined.

Without external aid, relying solely on his own power to refine his Great Daoist Nascent Soul and Inner World to the point where they could merge with Heaven and Earth would take at least a hundred years, if not longer.

’In Cultivation, they say you need wealth, companions, techniques, and a suitable location. There’s a reason wealth has always come first.’

Wang Xiao rose to his feet, preparing to return to the Real World.

By his calculations, the time for his appointment with Ye Tianying was fast approaching.

It was time for him to start preparing for the God Creation Plan.

He could always return to the Incense Realm after the God Creation Plan was over.
