Time was passing as quickly as Wang Ling's cultivation was rising. Slightly over a month into Wang Ling's seclusion, Wang Ling had managed to reach level-4 of the nascent soul stage.
Upon reaching level-4 of nascent soul stag, his pace of devouring souls increased. From three days a soul to two and a half days.
Not everything was good though as the number of needed souls to reach the next stage had substantially increased as well. He now needed fifty souls to reach level-5 of the nascent soul stage.
Little over four months later, Wang Ling managed to raise his cultivation once again. This time though, it was not only his cultivation that had a substantial increase.
His bloodline, more specifically his Holy Lord bloodline had a significant leap into denseness and strength. Finally conquering the eighteenth bell of heaven, Wang Ling finally conquered the second layer of heaven.
