The news that Li Yun had cleared the second floor of the Everlasting Pagoda after only eight months on Chronospace Island spread quickly across the whole island, and its effect was far greater than Li Yun himself realized.
Many of the cultivators trapped there had already given up hope. Some had been on the island for hundreds of years, and others had endured thousands or even tens of thousands. They could not leave, and they could not truly die.
After struggling for so long without seeing even the slightest chance of freedom, many of them had eventually stopped caring. They cultivated now and then when the mood took them, and they spent the rest of their time drinking, wandering, sleeping, or simply letting the years slip by.
Among the several thousand cultivators living on Chronospace Island, nearly thirty percent had fallen into this state.
