In the Sword Furnace at the Bie Tian Platform, Zhang Yan sat for a mere blink of twenty years.
Within the Broken Jade, eighty-odd days passed, while outside, only a day elapsed. Over twenty years, he had immersed himself in this path for what felt like sixteen hundred years.
The Dharma technique for refining the Sword Embryo had been thoroughly understood through his repeated deductions, with each step etched deeply in his mind.
A Nascent Soul cultivator can live for a millennium, but in terms of time spent on the sect's secrets alone, he far surpassed his contemporaries in the Shaoqing Sect. Without any accidents, his sacrificial refinement of the Qinghong Mystic Sword was guaranteed to succeed.
After withdrawing his Heart and Spirit from the Broken Jade, he examined the prohibitions around him, realizing there were no anomalies. Seeing no signs of anyone from Shaoqing, he decided not to delay and formally began the sacrificial refinement of the sword ball.
