Feeling

Unaware of the existence of her other self, who was currently watching her, Xu Yue now turned her thoughts back onto seclusion.

Not that Xu Yue had seen that her bottleneck didn't seem to want to budge, she had decided what to do, she would go into seclusion up until she had broken it, hopefully.

Because of this, Xu Yue then closed her eyes as a jade slip suddenly floated in front of her.

...

In what seemed like an instant to Xu Yue, over 1700 years had passed, causing her to open her eyes and stare at the enormous tree in the middle of her Sea of Consciousness.

In just 1700 years, Xu Yue had made great progress, having managed to grow the tree from over 30000 Li to over 35000 Li, but no matter how much the tree grew in both height and power, it still remained the same.

If she had made extremely slow progress, Xu Yue wouldn't have been worried at all, but as she stared at the Tree, which had not changed its color in the slightest, Xu Yue felt as though she was running out of time.

Even though Xu Yue realistically knew that she still had millions of years of life left, and that this was just a tiny fraction of her life, she still had that faint feeling in the back of her mind, warning her.

She was running out of time, and fast.

At this moment, Xu Yue felt as though if she closed her eyes and opened them once again, a few thousand years would have passed, making her run out of time.

A moment later, though, Xu Yue suddenly let out a snort, as she dispelled those intrusive thoughts and turned her attention back onto her seclusion.

After all, no matter how difficult to overcome a bottleneck could be, Xu Yue was extremely confident that she would go over it with enough time.

As such, Xu Yue once again closed her eyes before picking up another jade slip.

...

Once again, in what seemed like an instant, Xu Yue once again opened her eyes and stared at the tree in the middle of her Sea of Consciousness.

"This pressure is quite good for my progress, I didn't expect it to grow this far," mumbled Xu Yue as she stared at the tree, which had grown to over 44 thousand Li in height.

Even though Xu Yue was extremely talented, she knew that there was no way she could have progressed this far without that faint feeling in the back of her mind.

But although Xu Yue had made great progress, and felt extremely powerful at the moment, as if she could crush her past self with relative ease, that feeling still did not disappear.

Of course, Xu Yue did not let it get to her, as she then shook her head and once again focused on her goal.

"I need to break that bottleneck, as soon as possible," mumbled Xu Yue as she picked up another jade slip from the Spatial Ring given to her by Xu Lanfeng.

Although Xu Yue would not care much about that feeling, she was more than willing to use it to focus herself on her goal and increase her progress.

...

As she opened her eyes and stared around her, a look of confusion appeared on Xu Yue's face.

The previous two times, Xu Yue had spent roughly 1700 and 2000 years in seclusion.

Because of this, she expected the trend to continue, and the time she spent in seclusion to increase accordingly.

But in fact, beyond Xu Yue's expectations, this did not happen, instead, she only spent around one thousand years in seclusion.

Another thing which made Xu Yue feel extremely surprised was her progress.

After just one 1000 years, Xu Yue's Dao Tree experienced explosive growth of over 10 thousand Li, making this seclusion even more productive than her 2000-year one.

This was mainly caused by the nagging feeling which Xu Yue felt in the back of her mind, which now seemed to increase and become even harder to ignore.

In fact, this was the reason why Xu Yue had exited seclusion so early, realized Xu Yue at this very moment.

As she thought about this, Xu Yue shook her head.

"I shouldn't worry about this," mumbled Xu Yue as she then closed her eyes and picked up another Jade Slip.

...

Three Days.

This was the amount of time it had taken Xu Yue to open her eyes, causing an extremely concerned look to appear on her face.

At this very moment, Xu Yue suddenly waved her hand and sent out a jade slip to her Ancestor and called her to meet her.

A moment after Xu Yue sent out this jade slip, she became silent and simply began waiting.

...

280 years.

This was how long it had taken for Xu Lanfeng to respond to Xu Yue's jade slip with her own arrival.

Even though she hadn't cultivated in the slightest in these past nearly three hundred years, Xu Yue still felt much calmer than before.

As she looked at Xu Yue, whose current serene aura seemed to be hiding a deep torrent below, a faint frown appeared on Xu Lanfeng's face.

"What happened?" asked Xu Lanfeng as she instantly appeared cross-legged next to her descendant.

...

As she finished listening to the Xu Yue's words, the faint frown on Xu Lanfeng's face had become quite large.

"Something's wrong, something's definitely wrong, for cultivators, feelings like this shouldn't come out of nowhere, especially for someone like you," mumbled Xu Lanfeng before suddenly raising her eyes in an instant.

A moment later, anger gushed out of Xu Lanfeng's eyes, causing her to suddenly break open space and disappear.

As she was much weaker than her ancestor, it took Xu Yue somewhat longer to react to what had happened, but even so, she also disappeared a moment later.

...

Inside the Library of Heaven.

As she stared at the three thousand regions, which now had one region less, Xu Yue couldn't help but deeply frown.

"Something extremely wrong with this," mumbled Xu Yue as she stared at the region that had just been wiped out of existence.
