Two thousand years in dreams, twenty years in reality.

Under the disparity of a hundredfold time difference, development was naturally distinguished.

Now, Xu Yang’s cultivation had reached the peak of the fifth realm; Embracing Core Outer Body, Yin Soul out of body.

In the current cultivation system, he was at the Perfect Foundation Building.

Twenty years of hard cultivation, just to reach Perfect Foundation Building?

Is that not a bit slow?

Indeed it is somewhat drawn out, but it could not be helped.

If he were in the world of Dao and Law, twenty years would be enough, not just for the fifth realm, even the sixth realm would be attainable.

But the real world is not the world of Dao and Law; he did not have Guo Bei Academy, nor Mingxiao Taoist Temple, nor the support of powers like Wandao School to aid his cultivation.

Although he had developed a certain force in the real world over those twenty years, in both quantity and quality, it was far inferior to the world of Dao and Law.

The power was too weak, the scale too small, education and inheritance too scant, influence and control even lower; the various traits of the teacher skills could not be maximized.

Thus, the pace of cultivation was naturally slow.

Not to mention, the real world did not possess those miraculous fake cultivation skills.

Although in the world of Dao and Law, the Yuan Sprits lay dormant, which was tantamount to a world on the verge of its last calamity for cultivators, but…

Xu Yang was not a cultivator!

He did not have a Spiritual Root; he could not absorb nature’s spiritual energy directly, so did the dormancy of the Yuan Sprits affect him?

To some extent, yes, but not significantly. It reflected a bit in planting and breeding, alchemy and artifact refining, where there would be some material gaps, but those could entirely be circumvented using skill traits.

Therefore, even if the Yuan Sprits were dormant, he did not lack resources for cultivation.

And in the world of Dao and Law, the fake cultivation skill had no Spiritual Root limitation. Just by studying the Taoist Scriptures, one could enhance mana, which for him was akin to adding a unique “Taoist Spiritual Root”.

One with a Spiritual Root, one without; the outcomes naturally differed.

That is why Xu Yang’s pace of cultivation in the real world lagged far behind that in the world of Dao and Law.

It was an unavoidable situation.

In the world of Dao and Law, with Immortal Gods ascending, there was not much pressure from above, and he had a trump card like Divine Travel Through Worlds, allowing him to develop without restraint. Even if he died, he could start over.

But the real world was different. He had yet to fully understand the circumstances of the real world and could not determine the limits of the ultimate fighting forces in this world; he also lacked the means to revive and start anew.

In such a scenario, an incorrect move could result in complete defeat!

Therefore, Xu Yang could not develop recklessly, at least not previously.

Now, though…

He had already attained a certain level of strength and confidence, which allowed him to progress prudently and explore carefully. With a backup to ensure his life was secure, he could even make some bold attempts.

It was time to lift the veil of mystery from this world.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even dream peacefully!

Having discussed his cultivation, let’s look at his skills.

Although Xu Yang had ceased transmitting the traits of his skills over to aid Miss Xin Shisi in her rebirth and had stopped two hundred years prior, maintaining his soul powers at their peak in the world of Dao and Law, there were still eighteen hundred years before that, during which he had received many skill traits.

Xu Yang had integrated these skill traits to simplify his attribute panel and make it less cluttered and complex.

First were the life skills, originally separate skills like “diet,” “sleep,” “breathing,” and other day-to-day activities that had been combined into one. He now possessed either the original traits of these skills or their upgraded versions.
