The later he went, the slower his cultivation would become, and the improvement of his cultivation would not be achieved overnight.

From Xiantian eighth level to Xiantian ninth level, the average person would need no less than ten years, or even longer. Even if Li Qing was a genius, it was impossible for him to break through to the ninth level of the Xiantian realm in a short period of time.

The reason why Fairy Blue Smoke was so sure was also based on her past experience. After all, she was already considered a person who had been there before, and she had a deep understanding of the difficulties involved.

No matter how powerful their combat strength was, so what? In the end, raising one’s cultivation realm was another matter. He needed to cultivate bit by bit, and there was no shortcut to take.

“I don’t think so.” Liu Yuemei shook her head, “I think he can definitely break through to the ninth level of the Xiantian realm!”

“Are you so confident in him?” The other two were shocked.

“I don’t know either. I just have a feeling that Han Tie is extraordinary. He always gives people an indiscernible mystery.” Liu Yuemei smiled gently.

The other two looked at Liu Yuemei suspiciously. They always felt that something was wrong with her, but they couldn’t say why. Could it be that Liu Yuemei was hiding something from them?

Time passed quickly, and the third day passed. It was estimated that Han Tie would come out today. The three fairies waited there until the sun set, but they still didn’t see Han Tie’s figure.

“Today is almost over, but Han Tie hasn’t come out yet. Doesn’t he know that he can’t stay inside for too long?” They frowned.

Fairy Blue Smoke sighed, “Before I left, I had warned him many times, but he still didn’t listen to me. In the end, I still made mistakes that others often make, and I was willing to take great risks for a little bit of time.”

“Perhaps he feels that he is strong and very confident in himself. He thinks that he can hold on for a while longer.” Yun Qingqian shook her head disappointedly. “Many people are so confident. As a result, they never left the blue hole again.”

After sunset and sunrise, Han Tie still hadn’t come out. This was already the fourth day he had entered the blue hole! Normally, he would have been corroded by the dark energy.

After discussing for a while, they felt that they couldn’t watch as Han Tie fell into the blue hole, so they sent Liu Yuemei into the blue hole to take a look.

Although their actual friendship with Han Tie wasn’t very deep, the impact of the accident in the blue hole wasn’t very good. If they could help, it would only be a matter of effort.

After half a day, Liu Yuemei surfaced and shook her head, “I didn’t find him!”

“Why can’t I find it? Could it be that he dived very deep?” The other two were stunned.

“I dived three thousand feet. This is the limit I can reach. I expected that Han Tie wouldn’t exceed this range, but I couldn’t find his figure.” Liu Yuemei’s expression was not very good.

“We didn’t find him even three thousand feet away? Where on earth did he go to cultivate?”

“Han Tie’s strength is much stronger than mine. It’s not surprising that he can dive deeper. However, I’m very surprised. How can he cultivate steadily in such a deep position?” Liu Yuemei frowned.

Although the deeper one was, the slower the flow of time would be, if one wanted to cultivate steadily, one would usually choose a suitable location.

“Since Han Tie is so unwise, if he dies inside, he can only blame himself. No wonder we are here!” Fairy Blue Smoke sighed in disappointment.

With their friendship with Han Tie, they had already done their utmost to accomplish this step.

“Originally, we invited him to enter the Blue Hole to repay his kindness for helping us, but we didn’t expect that we would actually kill him. I really feel guilty.” Yun Qingqian said unbearably.

“Wait another day. If Han Tie still hasn’t appeared, we’ll go back.” Liu Yuemei said absentmindedly.

Another day passed. This was already the fifth day Han Tie had entered the blue hole, but his figure still hadn’t appeared. The result was self-evident.

“Looks like Han Tie must have died inside. No Xiantian expert can stay inside for five days. There is no chance of luck.” Fairy Blue Smoke shook her head.

“There’s nothing we can do. Let’s go.” Liu Yuemei’s expression was extremely gloomy.

“Sister Yuemei, what’s going on with you? Why do I always feel like you’re losing your mind?” Yun Qingqian asked doubtfully.

“Looking at you like this, it can’t be that you really fall in love with Han Tie, right?” Fairy Blue Smoke said with a faint smile.

Liu Yuemei was stunned, and then she was dumbfounded, “Do you think that with my personality, I would fall in love with any man in the world?”

“That’s right!” Fairy Blue Smoke nodded her head. She knew Liu Yuemei’s personality best. On the surface, she seemed to be enthusiastic and unrestrained, but in fact, she had never revealed her heart.

Moreover, Han Tie and Liu Yuemei weren’t familiar with each other and hadn’t even seen each other a few times. How could they fall in love with him? Unless it’s love at first sight.

Fairy Blue Smoke had a faint feeling in her heart that Liu Yuemei should know some of Han Tie’s secrets, which was why she paid special attention to him. However, since she refused to say it openly, she was too lazy to ask.

“Let’s go, let’s go back.” She said.

Just as they were about to leave, a powerful aura suddenly rose from the seabed. Then, a figure rushed out of the water, stirring up waves of tens of meters.

“This is” They all turned their heads and cried out, “Han Tie!”

“How is that possible? After such a long time, he is still alive?” They said in disbelief.

Li Qing landed in front of them and said cheerfully, “It’s been a long time since you’ve seen each other. Are you still waiting for me here? Why are you all looking at me so strangely? Could it be that you don’t recognize me anymore?”

“Why did you come out so late? We thought you were dead inside.” They didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“How many days have passed outside?” Li Qing asked.

“It’s been five days!” Yun Qingqian rolled her eyes unhappily. “Didn’t we warn you before we left? Don’t stay inside for too long, but in the end, you were lucky. You didn’t come out for five whole days!”

“Five days” Li Qing couldn’t help but rub his chin. This was his mistake. He didn’t expect that five days had passed outside. He thought it was three days.

He actually stayed in the blue hole for about fifteen years. In other words, an average day in the outside world was equivalent to three years inside, which was different from what he had originally expected.

It seems that the flow of time is not multiplying.

According to his original budget, at 10,000 feet, the flow of time should be five years inside, equivalent to one day outside. Therefore, he stayed for fifteen years, which translated to exactly three days outside.

However, the flow of time was actually three years faster than the outside world, causing his calculations to deviate.

He explained, “Perhaps I was too immersed in cultivation that I forgot about the time. Fortunately, it wasn’t a big problem.”

“Where exactly did you go to cultivate?” They stared at Li Qing.

Li Qing said without changing his expression, “Two thousand feet!”

“Nonsense! We’ve already gone down to look for you. There’s no sign of you at all!”

“Oh, maybe I miscalculated the distance. It should be three thousand feet.” Li Qing continued to play careless.

“You seem loyal, but you’re not honest at all. We’ve already checked 3,000 feet, and there’s no one here!”

“That might be deeper than three thousand feet.” Li Qing’s face was a little embarrassed after being repeatedly broken by the other party. “Alright, don’t pursue this matter any further. Anyway, I have returned safely.”

Yun Qingqian exclaimed, “Eh, your cultivation level …”

When Fairy Blue Smoke heard this, she looked carefully and couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, “Xiantian 9th layer! How is that possible?”

“Furthermore, he is at the peak of the ninth level of the Xiantian realm. He is even more outstanding than I imagined.” Liu Yuemei’s eyes shone brightly, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Impossible! This is against common sense! How can we do this in three years?” Fairy Blue Smoke said absentmindedly. Not long ago, she swore that Han Tie could not cultivate to the ninth level of the Xiantian realm. As a result, not only did he cultivate to the peak level, he was only one step away from reaching the tenth level of the Xiantian realm.

“How did you do it?”

“Because I’m a genius!” Li Qing smiled faintly. Of course, he wouldn’t tell them that he had been cultivating for fifteen years.

“It’s impossible for a genius to do this!”

“The truth is right in front of you. Forget it if you don’t believe me.” Li Qing shrugged.

“Unimaginable!” They were amazed. This was truly a fellow that violated common sense. Previously, he had defeated the Bipo Duo with his Xiantian eighth layer cultivation. Even his cultivation speed was so shocking that he was destined to be extraordinary!

Fairy Blue Smoke did not ask too much. She smiled and said, “Since you have already come out, then let’s leave this place.”

Li Qing nodded and looked back at the dark blue hole. He couldn’t help but sigh, “This place is too useful to me. I wonder if there is a chance to come back in the future.”

Originally, he had the protection of the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle, so it wouldn’t be a problem for him to cultivate in the blue hole for as long as he wanted. However, after staying inside for fifteen years, it gave off a feeling of loneliness that was extremely bearable.

For fifteen years, what was that concept? There were no living things in the blue hole, and there was no deathly silence. If he hadn’t cultivated his primordial spirit, it would have been very difficult for him to last for so long.

He originally thought that his mind was already very firm, but only now did he realize how difficult it would be to persevere in the void for fifteen years.

In addition, he had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Xiantian realm and encountered a bottleneck. He was unable to break through to the tenth level of the Xiantian realm. If he stayed any longer, it would only drive people crazy. Thus, he had no choice but to let it go and end this trip to the Blue Hole.

Returning to the pavilion, Li Qing’s divine sense swept past and his expression changed, “Where’s Xiao Bai?”
