Chapter 722: Chapter 382 “220,000 Years” and “Six Spirit Realms” (Please Subscribe)_1

Time within the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual Space doesn’t correspond to the years gone by.

From the moment it started, Milton Cheney had lost track of how much time had passed.

He had no intention of sensing the passage of time within this space.

After all, no matter how much time elapsed within the space, time in the outside world remained unchanged.

His lifespan also wouldn’t be consumed.

This was actually the second reason why the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual was so coveted by countless cultivators on the Spiritual World Cultivation Path.

One could receive a tremendous boost without consuming any lifespan.

This was undoubtedly a shortcut, saving years for the cultivators participating in the ritual.

A normal cultivator at the Sixth Realm seeking a breakthrough to the Seventh Realm would also need millions of years.

To think of advancing by millions of years all at once, one can imagine how precious such an opportunity was.

Of course, for a Fifth Realm cultivator, it wasn’t quite so exaggerated.

After all, there were limits.

Even Milton Cheney couldn’t possibly leap from the Fifth Realm straight to the Seventh Realm.

However, such an opportunity was already incredibly rare, and he had not a hint of dissatisfaction.

Why be dissatisfied with an opportunity that came for free?

Time within the space swiftly passed.

At a certain moment.

Milton Cheney suddenly came out of his trance.

His surroundings were still the familiar space.

But now, this space no longer contained other spiritual bodies.

At this moment, Milton Cheney could sense a tremendous change in his spiritual body, but he couldn’t clearly perceive how much of an improvement there was.

To sense the exact extent of the improvement, he had to wait until the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual had truly ended.

“I hadn’t expected to actually gain the acknowledgment of all the spiritual bodies manifested in the space this time,”

Milton Cheney mused to himself within the space.

He was genuinely surprised at this moment.

After all, obtaining the acknowledgment of all the spirits manifested in the ritual space, with just the realm of Fifth Realm of the Spiritual World Cultivation Path, was extremely difficult.

He had predicted that he wouldn’t reach this step.

But clearly, he had underestimated himself.

By now, Milton Cheney was certain that he could deceive some people with the cultivation strength of his past life, but definitely not the spiritual bodies that operated on instinct within the ritual.

Fortunately, these spiritual bodies had no consciousness and were merely empty shells.

Otherwise, the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual would have been bad news for Milton Cheney, rather than good.

After all, the realm of his former life was something he was born with and was absolutely paramount within the Spiritual World.

If any hint was discovered, it would be utterly indefensible.

At that point, Milton Cheney might even be forced to end this Reincarnation Simulation prematurely.

He didn’t wish to witness that, thankfully the memories and inheritances in his mind assured him none of it would happen.

“The other cultivators within the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual Space haven’t finished yet. I never expected I’d be the first to complete the ritual,”

A moment later, sensing vibrations within the space, Milton Cheney felt a new surge of surprise.

Because he discovered that right now he couldn’t leave the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual Space of his own volition.

What this represented, Milton Cheney understood clearly, it meant the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual was not long underway.

And he had completed the acknowledgment from all the spiritual bodies within the space in a very short period.

His gains were sure to be substantial this time, nearly guaranteeing his breakthrough to the Sixth Realm.

He might even have a small chance to advance further beyond the Sixth Realm.

Of course, that advance wouldn’t go too far.

Having entered the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual at the Fifth Realm, the cap was set, so it wasn’t possible for him to advance especially high in an instant.

The Sixth Realm was already the limit.

To break into the Seventh Realm, even among Sixth Realm cultivators, only a tiny fraction could achieve it.

A shortcut is still a path, and a path needs to be traveled.

Unable to leave the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual Space for the time being, Milton Cheney began to assimilate the benefits he received after the spiritual bodies merged into him.

At this moment, the gains he could feel were scant.

But this wasn’t because he’d received few benefits; it was simply less perceptible in the space.

Although the perception was vague, he had time to gradually assimilate it.

Processing these benefits within the space could save Milton Cheney a lot of time.

After all, it wasn’t his lifespan being consumed inside the space.

Yet the benefits gained there could be directly reflected in reality.

As time slowly ebbed away, Milton Cheney continued to assimilate the benefits while in the space.

Finally, at a certain moment, he clearly sensed the space’s constraints on him dissolve away.

It seemed that he could leave the space as soon as he thought to.

However, Milton Cheney chose not to do so, for the space was still of great assistance to him.

He would not squander an opportunity to shear wool for free.

In this Reincarnation Simulation, he had only one chance to enter the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual Space.

If he didn’t make full use of it, wouldn’t that be a waste?

So even though he could now leave the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual Space, he decided to continue staying.

“Not much time remains for me to continue staying here; digesting the spiritual body in reality may still take a considerable amount of my time.”
