Breaking the Fourth Wall

A Question... Why is this moving so fast? In a lot of novels I've read in the past, their adventures as a cultivator would more or less be a long one, wherein they would stay at a certain location for a long time before they could actually achieve a breakthrough and move on with their life. And when they get to teh next stage in their adventure, they'd be strong enough or overpowered enough to the point that no one would be able to beat them if they use their full power.
