No there is no time skip. There are some instances of it for the sake of cultivation but mostly like a year or two. If you are wondering will it get interesting, it picks up pace after 100 chapters or so..

Onset is slow. Don't judge by first 100 chapters and take it slow and soon you will enjoy it. I like the adventures in new world he goes to, however, that will happen after 1000 chapters. I personally like it more than other novels in the same section. Power scaling is good. MC is OP but there are a lot of people stronger than him. It will take a lot of time for him to become the Apex mentioned in synopsis. There is actually character development unlike other where MC is always thinking about his ex for first 500 chapters 😂 Worth it if you like similar novels. Just need to get rid of first 100 chapters generic Chinese novels plot.
