After stepping into the nexus, Shi Xiaobai's vision was first layered with pure whiteness. His body entered a state of weightlessness as the world seemed to spin around him. When he opened his eyes again, he realized he was in a different world as far as his eyes could see.

This was not the first time Shi Xiaobai was experiencing spatial transmission. Back in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, every floor he headed to basically used spatial transmission to teleport him to a different space.

However, he always found it difficult to get used to that instant of losing all his five senses.

"Is this the Flower Leaf Pocket World inside the canopy of the World Holy Tree?"

Shi Xiaobai stood on firm ground as he looked at the world he would be spending the next ten years in.

All he could see was a thick fog that reduced visibility quite significantly. The scenery in the thick fog was indistinct, and the only thing he could see was the dew on the nearby vegetation. Further away, there were only blurry silhouettes, all mixed in a chaotic blend.

When he looked up, the sky seemed to be enveloped by a thin veil. It appeared like the first rays of dawn as a profound silence prevailed. It felt as though time itself had come to a pause.

He cocked his head to listen and heard sporadic tweeting from deep within the fog. They sounded like birds chirping.

Taking a deep breath, he sensed the refreshing and fragrant air fill his olfactory cavity, fueling his body with Psionic Powers. Instantly, it left Shi Xiaobai refreshed and pumped.

"What rich Psionic Power."

Shi Xiaobai could not help but marvel. Compared to this pocket world, the alternate world he was in had much sparser Psionic Powers. From the looks of it, it far exceeded Granny's claim of ten times.

"With such a richly endowed cultivation environment, it appears that This King has to raise his psionic cultivation realm as quickly as possible."

Shi Xiaobai thought to himself.

Riko had once told him that psionic cultivation was usually divided into three methods—Cogitation, Training, and Combat.

Cogitation was the simplest. One just needed to empty one's mind and allow their imagination to run wild. The more realistic and full-bodied the imagination, the better the cultivation effects.

In simple terms, it just meant closing one's eyes and relaxing, while entertaining all sorts of foolish ideas. The more imaginative one was, the better the effects. This was extremely easy for Shi Xiaobai.

"Training" was relatively more tiring. It mainly involved the honing of one's body to raise one's body's strength. By constantly breaking through one's limits, one would be able to raise the Psionic density in one's body.

Honing one's body needed a tenacious will, but the benefits were obvious. It could both cultivate one's Psionic Powers and also temper one's body. It killed two birds with one stone.


"Combat" didn't need much elaboration. Shi Xiaobai had focused on Cogitation once. Other than that, he raised his Psionic Powers mainly by combat. It could be said that he relied on combat to go from the first level of the Psionic Mortal Realm to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.

"This King has the Power of Taotie. Training is no longer required, so there's no need to train for the rest of This King's life. This King just needs to eat."

Shi Xiaobai muttered to himself, "Solely relying on combat to raise cultivation levels isn't a good solution either. This King needs to combine stillness and action, so a portion of time needs to be allocated for Cogitation."

The allocation of time was something Shi Xiaobai needed to consider the most at that moment.

He was given ten years to cultivate. To maintain highly efficient cultivation, he needed to establish a reasonable cultivation plan and schedule.

How much time he spent on combat, rest, and Cogitation had to be reasonable spread out across a day. He didn't wish to waste even a second.

Apart from that, he needed to think of means to raise his skills' proficiency.

Partially due to the Absolute Choice's rewards, Shi Xiaobai possessed many skills—Crab Steps, Pig Slaughtering Knife, This Turtle Is Hardest, Unleaking Turtle Aura, Turtle-speed Divine Punch, Kun Peng Sword Technique, Power of Sword Truth, Excalibur, Power of Taotie, Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Transcendental Nine Transformations… as well as possessing a bloodline. But temporarily, he had yet to develop his Devil Transformation and Divine God Descent.

Shi Xiaobai had many skills, and each of them had extraordinary effects; however, many of them were low in proficiency.

The proficiency of skills was differentiated into seven proficiency levels—Grasped Basics, Familiarized Proficiency, Exemplary Mastery, Dominating Refinement, Crest of Perfection, Bold New World, Arhat Oversoul.

To date, Shi Xiaobai had only attained the Crest of Perfection for his Crab Steps. The other skills were still stuck at Exemplary Mastery and Dominating Refinement.

Every improvement in his skills' proficiency resulted in obvious differences. Shi Xiaobai was very aware of this. Crab Steps at the Crest of Perfection was definitely nothing Exemplary Mastery could compare with.

Raising his skills' proficiency and raising his psionic cultivation realm were the two most crucial matters Shi Xiaobai was facing. Neither of them could be neglected.

"For psionic cultivation realm, This King has to cultivate to the Psionic Imperial Realm, as well as raise all skills to the Arhat Oversoul level. That is the lowest target for This King."

Shi Xiaobai thought to himself, "And there's that tower…"

Shi Xiaobai turned to face east. Although there was a thick fog with low visibility, he could tell that there was an edifice reaching towards the sky, tearing into the clouds on the eastern horizon. It connected the skies to the land, so it was quite impossible not to see it.

Granny said that the sky-high tower had a total of a hundred levels. Each level had a guardian boss and she mused over which level he could reach in ten years.

The answer was obvious.

"The hundredth level."

If he was a man, he needed to reach the hundredth level!

Shi Xiaobai did not believe that the sky-high tower's guardian boss at the hundredth level was stronger than the Original Sin of Calamity. If he could not even beat the boss at the hundredth level ten years later, it would be fool's talk for him to change Fate's script.

Shi Xiaobai took out a pen and paper from his storage ring and drew up a table. He wrote in detail each cultivation aspect as well as the corresponding cultivation time.

Shi Xiaobai was never a person who made watertight plans who made provisions for rainy days. He preferred adapting himself to the circumstances and was better at coming up with ideas at critical moments. Therefore, allocating time wasn't a strength of his. It was even considered quite laughable.

However, knowing that he was burdened with the world's future, Shi Xiaobai did not do as he wished. Allocating time reasonably was, without a doubt, a necessity.

Shi Xiaobai spent half an hour to allocate the time. Each minute was detailed and the complex and important cultivation plans filled every moment of the day.

Shi Xiaobai only gave himself an hour's rest a day. Furthermore, the hour's rest was used to Cogitate as he replaced sleeping with Cogitation. It was equivalent to him not having any sleep time.

Shi Xiaobai believed that the ten years of cultivation needed him to combine labor and rest together, but realizing that he only had ten years, he couldn't afford to waste time on sleep.

Unleaking Turtle Aura could resist his need to sleep, allowing him to constantly stay in an awakened state. However, the lack of sleep would result in a significant burden on his body. It was unknown what ten years of exhaustion would do to his body.

Shi Xiaobai couldn't be bothered with that. Of course, it had to do with his body being a far cry from before. He did not believe that ten years of exhaustion would mark the demise of a king's body.

Half an hour later, the fog had gradually dispersed, allowing full visibility. There was still a mountainous forest ahead, with towering trees and vines that resembled the pixie forest.

After Shi Xiaobai memorized the timetable, he planned on heading east to set up camp near the sky-high tower. It would facilitate his entry into the sky-high tower at any time to challenge the bosses. After all, combat was a cultivation method that could not be neglected.

Thud!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a door opening behind him. Turning his head, Shi Xiaobai discovered that a black door enveloped with light had opened. A tiny figure had been thrown in.

Shi Xiaobai subconsciously caught the figure and when he looked down, he saw a pair of azure-blue eyes staring at him, blinking.

"Ah."

The corners of Little Kali's eyes were teary. When she saw the youth who had caught her, her tears stopped as she mumbled with surprise and anticipation, "Brother Human, are you confined as well?"

Shi Xiaobai was taken aback. He soon came to a realization that perhaps the timetable he spent half an hour writing would have been for nothing.
