Left with no other choice, they could only return to the old path under Li Chang'an's control.
...
「In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.」
Thanks to Li Chang'an's protection, more and more people began entering the mountain via the rugged path.
This, naturally, brought Li Chang'an tremendous benefits.
In fact, his cultivation progressed faster during this period than at any other time in his past.
He enhanced his Spirituality by collecting Incense from the hunters and herb gatherers along the path.
After years of accumulation, one day in his thirties, Li Chang'an finally obtained the "Cultivation Entry Ticket." He established a faint connection with the world and could now begin to absorb the essence of heaven and earth!
This was, without a doubt, another enormous leap forward.
After all, while Li Chang'an did have an offensive ability similar to "Soul Fire," he himself possessed no real combat strength.
He couldn't even move his own heavy body.
