"Real immortal energy?" Austin echoed, stunned.
"Yes, real immortal energy.
People in your world are pretty ridiculous.
None of you are actually immortal, but you all like using the word 'immortal' to describe your vital energy realm to make yourselves feel good.
Semi-immortal Realm, Immortal Realm, Immortal King Realm, and blah blah blah.
How absurd!
If you were actually able to form a few streaks of real immortal energy, you would be able to dominate this whole universe,"
the supreme holy tree sneered.
Its words surprised Austin.
After giving it some thought, he realized that what the tree said made sense.
'I have reached the Immortal Transforming Realm, but I know nothing about immortal energy, let alone about being an immortal.
Yes, I can match a master of the Immortal King Realm.
But people at that realm are weaker than I thought.
I thought that once we reached the Immortal Realm, we would be powerful beyond description.
But it turns out that I was wrong about that.
Those who have reached the Semi-immortal Realm, Immortal Realm, or Immortal King Realm are far from being true immortal, ' Austin thought to himself.
Then, he looked at the supreme holy tree and asked, "Where on earth are you from? Are you from that legendary Divine Land?"
He had already asked this question before, but he couldn't help himself.
"Ahem! Boy, I don't want to waste time talking to you about this anymore. There is no need for you to know anything more for the time being. You're too weak.
If you don't have anything to do, I suggest that you cultivate here for now.
Try to feel the laws of nature in this cave.
If you can comprehend them, you will benefit a lot.
Oh, by the way, that old bastard has a really firm grasp of both space and time.
I'll ask Faran and Corey if there is a cultivation room in this cave where time passes faster. If there is such a room, I will try and borrow it for you,"
the supreme holy tree said to Austin patiently.
Then, it made its way toward the pavilion.
Since it was much taller than the pavilion, it shrank until it was small enough to enter it.
'A practice room where time passes faster?'
Austin didn't understand what the supreme holy tree had just said.
He had never heard about such a room before.
Inside the pavilion, the supreme holy tree inquired with the two old men about the existence of such a secret room. At first, the two men lied and said that there was no such room in the cave. But the tree kept pestering them until they finally admitted that such a room did exist.
According to the two old men, the owner of this cave
The immortal energy was so mysterious that ordinary mortal bodies could not contain it at all.
However, he didn't give up, and kept trying. If he could really absorb some immortal energy, he would have a huge harvest in this room.
Time continued passing by.
Several times, Austin felt as if he was about to break through.
However, he calmly let the opportunities go since he felt that he was not ready.
After all, he had more than enough time now.
He was not anxious to reach a higher realm.
Instead, he wanted to focus on laying a solid foundation for his vital energy first before making a breakthrough. That would be good for his future cultivation.
Another twenty years went by in the room.
Thunder rumbled above the corner of the cultivation room that Austin was sitting in, and bolts of lightning struck him like a waterfall.
Although it was just a corner of the secret room, it was spacious. Sitting cross-legged in mid-air, Austin knew that he was going through the Thunderstroke Doom. Despite that, he looked calm.
He released the thunder unicorn to devour the lightning.
After he made it through the Thunderstroke Doom, he began to check his vital energy force.
"I have reached the medium stage of Immortal Transforming Realm," he murmured with a smile.
After that, he went back to his cultivation.
Another fifty years later, Austin finally reached the premium stage of Immortal Transforming Realm.
'Well, only about two days have passed outside the room. I still have a lot of time, ' Austin thought.
For the first time in his life, he felt that he had plenty of time to do whatever he wanted.
A hundred years went by in the room.
Austin finally began to feel the opportunity to reach the Immortal Realm.
