A Warm Welcome

"Master, it's time for me to leave." William said from within Riyald's laboratory. Next to him was Atticus, who was as still as a stone statue while he worried about the dangers that awaited them outside the Ruins.

Three weeks had passed, and William's Cultivation Base was completely full. He spent six days of each week Cultivating, with a single day for rest, which was both exhausting and addicting at the same time.

Cultivation was much different from what William expected. It was more than just trying to sit still and perform rhythmic breathing for hours on end. Instead, it was as simple as eating and drinking, a natural process that filled William with energy.

Since he was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he needed even less sleep than before, able to stay awake for weeks without rest if he truly wanted to, although his Cultivation efficiency would drop after more than six consecutive days.
