Buddhism, Taoism, and immortals generally cultivate for a few years
The cultivation years of Buddhist immortals varied greatly due to many factors. In the Buddhist cultivation system, it was difficult to define the cultivation time of different levels and individuals. For example, in the World of Gods, a higher cultivation like Sect Leader Tongtian might have cultivated for at least 15 million years (calculated based on the Immortal Tribulation that occurs once every 1,500 years in the World of Gods). According to the calculation method in the Journey to the West, it would be 1,296 million years. The Holy Mother of Gold Spirit might have experienced a hundred or a thousand tribulations, but it was not clear whether it was a hundred or a thousand. From the perspective of Daoist cultivation, the cultivation time was affected by many factors, such as personal aptitude, cultivation methods, cultivation environment, and cultivation goals. Daoist cultivation usually had different stages, such as Foundation Establishment, Refining Qi into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Emptiness, and so on. The time required for each stage varied from person to person. Some people might be able to complete a stage in a few years, while others might take longer. In terms of cultivation methods, the Inner Elixir Technique focused on refining the essence, qi, and spirit within the body, which might require a long period of meditation and breath adjustment. The External Elixir Technique focused on refining medicinal pills to assist in cultivation, and the cultivation time might depend more on the refining and consumption process of the medicinal pills. People with high personal qualifications might be able to understand the true meaning of Taoist cultivation more easily and achieve results faster. At the same time, the degree of effort was also a key factor. Moreover, a quiet and elegant cultivation environment could help cultivators maintain their inner peace and focus. Good opportunities such as receiving guidance from an expert or gaining insight into the Great Dao could also help shorten the cultivation time. For ordinary Buddhist cultivators, the highest realm they could achieve was to open up the Small Heavenly Cycle, and they might not be able to do so in their entire lives. There was no fixed cultivation time. Therefore, it was difficult to say exactly how many years a Buddha, Dao, or immortal would spend cultivating. "Who told him to cultivate!"
