The Aperture-Opening Realm, as the final stage of the Lower Three Heavens and the last gateway to forging one's foundation, was of paramount importance.
Only by achieving absolute perfection could one be truly flawless and without regret.
Sitting cross-legged, Chu Ge entered a state of cultivation.
Time quietly slipped into the depths of night.
Chu Ge casually recorded a brief diary entry. After the settlement, he obtained Star Apertures +3.
He still did not use his daily check-in counts, choosing instead to continue saving them.
At the same time, all of his star apertures had finally completed their transformation.
Next, he could focus entirely on opening new star apertures.
As for the daily check-in opportunities, Chu Ge again chose to keep them in reserve.
At present, Chu Ge's original seventy-two apertures had all been transformed. Adding the diary rewards from the past few days and his own cultivation efforts, his total number of star apertures had now reached ninety-five.
It had to be said—the jade pendant he had intercepted from Ye Chen was truly extraordinary at the Aperture-Opening stage. One could call it a small divine artifact for early cultivation.
Especially now that Chu Ge possessed a massive stockpile of resources, he could make unrestrained use of those resources and, with the help of that jade pendant, greatly accelerate the speed at which he opened new star apertures.
Time passed just like that, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth day since Chu Ge had entered the Taihuang Sacred Land. In another half month, it would be the day agreed upon with Ye Chen.
Over the past nearly ten days, Chu Ge had gone out every morning to check in once, obtaining many rewards of decent quality. During this period, he even triggered four critical-hit rewards.
The price he paid was that there were now few worthwhile check-in locations left within the Taihuang Sacred Land. Before long, Chu Ge would only be able to select a single location with good rewards and repeatedly check in there.
As for the diary, he naturally did not neglect it either—he recorded it every single day.
Regarding the rewards, although he did not obtain the maximum four star apertures each time, the gains remained around the average level. Coupled with his cultivation over this period of time—
Chu Ge's total number of star apertures had now reached one hundred and forty-six.
In roughly ten days, he had increased by fifty-one star apertures—each one stronger than ordinary apertures and far more difficult to open.
Such a speed was enough to make countless heaven's chosen geniuses feel ashamed!
Naturally, this result was due to Chu Ge's tireless diligence in cultivation… and a tiny bit of help from the system.
At least, that was what he himself believed.
As if by prior agreement, not only was Chu Ge engrossed in cultivation within the Taihuang Hall, but Luo Huangjun and Su Lingyuan were as well.
The former was familiarizing herself with the various divine wonders of her bloodline and stabilizing the necessary changes after her cultivation breakthrough.
After the surge in her origin power, Su Lingyuan's cultivation had also advanced. Now that she had reached the Fifth Heaven, the various powers of the Primordial Spirit Holy Body had begun to manifest. Naturally, she would not dare to slack off in her cultivation.
In truth, this was the normal state of the cultivation world—daily cultivation, consolidation, and the practice of various techniques were all indispensable.
Even Su Lingyuan, who appeared somewhat simple and naïve on the surface, had no low level of attainment in the field of formations and restrictions.
This was naturally due in part to her innate talent, but it also could not be separated from long-term, painstaking practice.
However, after nearly ten straight days of cultivation, Chu Ge planned to pause for a while today. It was not because he was weary, but for another reason.
Previously, at the Linglu Pavilion, Elder Li had mentioned that Elder Shui was refining pills for him. Today, that task had finally been completed.
Ordinarily, there was no need for Chu Ge to go in person—someone would have delivered them to him.
However, Elder Shui expressed a wish to meet Chu Ge in person and personally hand the pills to him as a gesture of thanks.
On the day of the Heavenly Dao Evolution, among all those present, Elder Shui was the one who received the greatest benefit and directly broke through her realm on the spot.
Chu Ge was also aware of this matter. Therefore, he naturally understood the other party's desire to personally express gratitude and agreed to the meeting.
