After leaving the Giant’s Continent, Tian Yang brought Kulas’ family to a safe location before entering seclusion to focus on pushing his cultivation base to the next realm.
A hundred years... a thousand years... ten thousand years.
Years passed in the blink of an eye, and even after twenty thousand years, the Giant’s Continent remained sealed by the mysterious crimson dome.
The crimson dome was so durable that even the Three Pillars of Heaven were unable to damage it, even after thousands of years of effort, much less destroy it.
Eventually, the Three Pillars of Heaven gave up on trying to invade the Giant’s Continent. However, they remained vigilant and constantly monitored the continent.
As more and more time passed and the crimson dome showed no sign of weakening, the Three Pillars of Heaven started to lose interest, and their war with the Giant Race came to an unexpected halt.
Thirty thousand years... forty thousand years... fifty thousand years later.
"How is your progress?" Ren Xia approached Tian Yang and asked. "Your aura is getting sharper by the day, so your breakthrough should be pretty close, no?"
Tian Yang slowly opened his eyes after hearing her voice, and his aura that was gushing with Celestial Qi was immediately suppressed until it was essentially nonexistent.
"I have already reached my limit with Celestial Qi. I cannot refine more at this level, even if I want to. Unfortunately, I am still nowhere near close to reaching the next realm."
"Really? Even though you said it was achievable within fifty thousand years?"
"That was just a guess."
"What about now? Now that you’re getting closer, you should have a rough idea how long it’d take, right?"
Tian Yang sighed. "While it’s true that I’ve essentially reached my limit with Celestial Qi, arriving at this level made me realize it isn’t the most important factor for my breakthrough. What truly matters is the soul, and I have only recently begun cultivating it."
"Speaking of cultivating your soul... how’s the soul cultivation technique? Did you manage to complete it?" Ren Xia asked.
He shook his head.
"I had my hands full with Celestial Qi, so where would I find the time to complete it? However, I am certain that it’s not finished."
"Is it even safe to cultivate an unfinished technique?"
"Normally, it isn’t, but this technique is unlike any technique I have seen before. It may not be complete, but it functions like one."
"If it doesn’t matter, then what’s the point of completing it?" Ren Xia wore a puzzled expression on her face.
"It may not affect my ability to cultivate it, but it will definitely affect its effectiveness. If I am going to offend a god-like being that lives beyond our world, I’ll need to get as strong as I can so that I can protect what’s important to me."
Tian Yang then asked, "Anyway, what’s been going on outside lately? What are the Three Pillars of Heaven up to these days?"
