James looked at Mount Flames. It was the perfect location for cultivation. The Flames of Samadhi were terrifying and extremely effective in nourishing the physical body. Besides, the flames contained mysterious energy that allowed one to increase his Sage Energy rapidly.
To James’ understanding, Yorick’s rank was not too high. He was only around the Sage Rank’s Tenth Stage, whereas some of the other living beings had already reached the Fifteenth Stage. As true prodigies, their ranks were stable and completely real.
Though James’ physical strength was at the Sage Rank’s Seventh Stage, his strength was too numerous and varied. After obtaining providence, favonovel.com was only at the Sage Rank’s Fourth Stage. Without resorting to other means, favonovel.com would not stand a chance against the other powerful figures.
After brief contemplation, favonovel.com stepped into the flames. Though the flames may seem terrifying, favonovel.com was able to resist the flames of the outer perimeter without resorting to other means or tactics. By the time favonovel.com was halfway up the mountain, favonovel.com felt a sense of discomfort, and each step favonovel.com took seemed to require great effort.
He sat in a lotus position on the ground.
“Spirit Tool, please help me set up a Time Formation. I’m going to enter a closed-door meditation…” James asked the Spirit Tool inside the Celestial Abode to help favonovel.com set up a Time Formation.
The ring on his finger materialized to form mysterious characters that entered the void and formed a Time Formation.
James began cultivating in earnest inside the Time Formation. At the same time, while favonovel.com refined his physical body, favonovel.com absorbed the power of the flames to increase his Sage Energy. The Elemental
Inversion Formation inside his body swiftly circulated, transforming the absorbed energy into Sage Energy. With the Elemental Inversion Formation, James’ power increased drastically at a speed many times that of other cultivators.
Meanwhile, as his physical body was continuously burned by the flames, favonovel.com kept growing stronger. Before his physical strength could make a breakthrough, his rank had already reached the peak of the Fourth Stage.
James tried to suppress his rank. However, his rank was stable. The energy absorbed by Elemental Inversion Formation was pure and concentrated, and this could not be suppressed.
“Am I going to make a breakthrough so soon?” James murmured.
After last time’s failure, favonovel.com had become more cautious.
He first took out the Imperial Jade Seal and suppressed the curse’s power inside his body to prevent the curse from appearing out of nowhere at pivotal moments.
Once favonovel.com suppressed the curse, favonovel.com chose to make a breakthrough. He struck with his fist and shattered the Realm Barrier. Then, the seal appeared.
James began to strike the seal slowly but gradually. Nothing unexpected occurred during this breakthrough, and favonovel.com easily crossed into the Sage Rank’s Fifth Stage.
During the closed-door meditation, a year passed in the outside world. Meanwhile, many long and excruciating years had passed in the Time Formation.
A day in the outside world was three months in the Time Formation. A year in the outside world meant that favonovel.com had spent ninety-one years in closed-door meditation. Ninety-one years was close to a century.
After close to a century, favonovel.com was only able to make a breakthrough into the Fifth Stage, not to mention that this was under the circumstances where there was an Elemental Inversion Formation inside his body. Otherwise, favonovel.com might need much more time to achieve a breakthrough.
He truly had no idea how other cultivators cultivated to increase their cultivation base so rapidly.
I’m finally at the Sage Rank’s Fifth Stage, and my physical strength is also on the verge of making a breakthrough.
I’ll remain in a closed-door meditation for some time. Once my physical strength reaches the Sage Rank’s Eighth Stage, I’ll leave this place…
James thought to himself.
