Without a doubt, after cultivating his second Heart Eye of Insight, his ability to handle danger significantly improved. It was nearly impossible for his enemies to assassinate him.
Moreover, using the power of his Heart Eye of Insight, he could even clandestinely observe countless cultivators’ divine sense conversations.
All the secrets of these cultivators were exposed under his Heart Eye.
“All the years of hard work, cultivating for five years to form the second Heart
Eye, were not in vain.”
Zhou Sui laughed heartily, feeling very satisfied.
He felt that all of this was worth it.
One must know, the late Lu family’s ancestor tried all possible methods and
also failed to condense the second Heart eye.
He even dared not cultivate it anymore.
The consultation of the first Heart Eye had nearly exhausted all his good luck
and opportunity.
If he did not have the help of the Book Worm, it was quite certain that he would not have been successful in his cultivation.
This is simply not a cultivation technique meant for ordinary people.
On the other hand, once it is successful, the advantages gained are beyond
imagination.
“Right, let’s check the virtual panel first.”
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui moved his heart and looked at his virtual panel.

“Eight hundred years of life, not bad, not bad.
Zhou Sui felt very content.
For these five years, he had been refined and baptized by the mysterious blood power of Dragon Elephant Gu every month.
One could say that his physical fitness improved unabatedly. Now, he had a strength of more than 200,000 catties.
Along with an immense rise in his defensive power.
It equated to a lower-class defensive spiritual artifact.
Ordinary spiritual artifacts launched at him could reduce half of their attack power.
If it was a magic artifact attack, his divine skin could easily resist it.
It’s like being resistant to spears and swords.
The most important thing is the increase in his lifespan.
It has been raised from six hundred to eight hundred years, an increase of two hundred years.
If other cultivators knew about this, they might turn green with envy.
For other cultivators to increase their lifespan, they basically need to make a major breakthrough. Or they could take longevity spiritual medicine.
Yet with the power of the Dragon Elephant Gu, he could extend his life span almost every month.
From this situation, his lifespan seemed to have not yet met a bottleneck.
This suggested that he was evolving towards a non-human direction and gradually breaking away from ordinary beings.
However, the process of cultivation was more or less the same, evolving from humans to immortals.
In essence, both had congruent differences.
“However, a cultivator at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment only reached 70% of the stage. Cultivation is really hard.” Zhou Sui glanced at his own cultivation progress.
He was still 30% away from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Despite the fact that he had been taking pills continuously for five years and dual cultivating with a Taoist couple, his progress was only this much.
If he was under normal cultivation, it would usually take two or three decades to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Some cultivators are stuck at his realm for hundreds of years. This is also quite common.
After reaching this realm, a bit of increase in mana cultivation required a lot of time and resources.
If he continued to cultivate like this, it would probably take two to three more years to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Of course, his cultivation speed is already astonishingly fast.
Even geniuses like Leng Yuexi with First-Grade Spiritual Root took ten years to break through from the initial stage to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, the main reason for Zhou Sui’s slow cultivation is due to the drag of
Gu insects.
Despite the great power and assistance the Gu insects bring to him, they are not without drawbacks.
He also needs to help the Gu insects evolve.
If the Gu didn’t evolve, he would not breakthrough easily.
It’s as if Zhou Sui needed to enhance the mana inside him, those Gu insects who advanced to the second stage also needed to enhance their mana to facilitate the evolution.
Because of this, Zhou Sui realized this fact and he wouldn’t easily refine Gu insects currently.
Unless the Gu insect brought great help to his cultivation, he would refine it.
Otherwise, refining a bunch of Gu insects not only won’t help him but will also drag his cultivation speed down.
He did not know when he would be able to make a real breakthrough. It wasn’t worth it.
“The speed of Spiritual Root evolution has also slowed down.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin. He looked at the evolution speed of his Spiritual Root. After five years, it only reached 71%. He still needed 30% progress to genuinely transform to a Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root.
Of course, he expected this.
After all, the higher the Spiritual Root level, the harder it is to evolve. It’s a dream to improve the Spiritual Root Aptitude in a short period. However, he is not in a hurry to enhance his spiritual root aptitude. His Sixth-Grade spiritual root was already sufficient.
Together with the assistance of pill consumption and dual cultivation with a Taoist couple, his cultivation speed was not inferior to a Third-grade spiritual root.
He believed that after some time, it wouldn’t be a big problem to advance to a fifth-grade spiritual root.
“However, the boundary of formations, runes, swordsmanship, and alchemy has seen astounding enhancement.”
“Over these five years, I spent most of my time on cultivation of my Hundred Arts of Cultivation besides the Seven Apertures Spirit Secret.
“It seems that hard work pays, there has been remarkable progress.”
Zhou Sui was quite satisfied with his improvement in Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
Because he knew his cultivation speed had slowed, he spent some time learning Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
This had benefited him greatly.
The arts of formation, runes, swordsmanship, etc. all progressed to the low-class of the second stage.
The realm of alchemy had advanced to the mid-class of the second stage.
Such a competent level of alchemy mastery was counted as an alchemy master even in the Immortal Mist Sect..
