Time flows unnoticed in cultivation, unaware of the passing years.
In the blink of an eye, Zhouyang had been in closed-door training for twelve years in the cultivation chamber within the "Extreme Yang Cave."
During this period, because the rent for his cultivation chamber was due, Xiao Ying came over and helped him extend it for another five years, as he had instructed before his retreat.
And so, after twelve years of seclusion, Zhouyang exhausted all elixirs to enhance his cultivation, utilized the two spiritual objects "Purple Sun Vermilion Fruit" and "Cloud Mist Immortal Tea," and finally succeeded in raising his cultivation to the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion.
To reach the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion at two hundred fifty-seven years old—this speed, even in a top-tier major sect like the Profound Sun Immortal Sect, was enough to rival the true disciples.
