Chapter 1053 - 1051: 1,000,000 Battle Merit
Falling straight from tens of thousands of feet up, Lu Ye finally managed to regain control over himself.
This height was his limit for flying through the air; any higher, and no matter how much effort he put in, he couldn't ascend, as if some invisible force was restraining him.
Yet Lu Ye continued to let himself fall, merely activating his spirit force for protection.
Because although he could fly at this altitude, it was too strenuous, consuming too much of his spirit force. He needed to find a height that was comfortable and energy-efficient.
That's why cultivators traveling outdoors don't always fly as high as possible, as the higher they fly, the greater the cost to themselves.
Especially when one's cultivation isn't sufficient, they generally don't fly too high, as they might easily encounter someone stronger.
Falling to nearly ten thousand feet, Lu Ye finally stabilized himself. This height was undoubtedly acceptable to him and was generally the height Divine Sea Realm cultivators chose for outdoor travel.
He looked down at the scene below, his heart surging with emotion.
Nine Provinces, I have returned!
This journey took quite a long time, a full two years. When he left, he was at True Lake Level 7; upon returning, he was in the Divine Sea, a massive increase in strength.
Of course, if he were in the Nine Provinces, his cultivation would likely have progressed even faster because he could utilize the spirit fortune stick.
But in cultivation, merely advancing quickly is of little value. In these two years of traveling in the Blood Refinement World, although his cultivation didn't rise swiftly, each level was extremely solid, especially in the months after advancing to the Divine Sea. The gains from the countless trials by older warriors were incomparable to mere cultivation advancements.
