It took one whole week for Wu Jian to stabilize his cultivation. An entire week of doing nothing but standing on his hands while balancing a boulder on his feet. During that time, Wu Jian had become intimately familiar with his power and even learned how to control it to some extent.
Huǒ Shuchang had loudly complained that doing a handstand wasn’t how cultivators were supposed to meditate, but Wu Jian didn’t see the problem. He always felt calmer and more in control of himself when he was exercising. Something about moving his body, about exerting effort, helped settle his mind.
And his actions spoke for themselves. He had stabilized his cultivation, after all.
Huǒ Shuchang complained about that too. According to him, it took normal cultivators at least a month to stabilize their cultivation. It should have taken him even longer because he skipped an entire realm.
