For Cultivators, time spent in seclusion always passed quickly.
A trip into the Cultivation Chamber meant emerging months later at the very least. Stays of half a year or even a full year were commonplace.
This was the typical duration of cultivation in seclusion for a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator. For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a single session would last even longer.
As for Golden Core and Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, their periods of cultivation in seclusion were even longer; sessions lasting eight to ten years were not at all rare.
Ling Changqing had once considered that if one were to completely subtract the time a Foundation Establishment Cultivator spent in seclusion, their remaining Lifespan probably wouldn't be much longer than that of a mortal.
'Perhaps only when I reach the Golden Core or Nascent Soul Level will I have truly begun to break free from the shackles of mortality, living longer and with a higher quality of life.'
