Using only a short period of 10 years, the City Lord of the Sky City rose from the First Layer of the Hundred Year realm to the Thousand Year King realm! The speed of his growth was extremely shocking—countless people were stunned speechless!
And after so many years, he'd already reached the advanced middle stages of the Thousand Year realm. As for the peers who'd surpassed him early on, most of them were still stuck in the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm!
Late bloomers did exist, but they were very rare. It was more common for people to be strong all the way, and remain undefeated among their peers as they broke into the Thousand Year King realm!
Of course, with a larger forest, there would be more species of birds. For example, there was a weakling who was defeated countless times by everyone. But in the end, by simply cultivating bit by bit, he actually managed to break through to the Thousand Year King realm as well.
