Cold winds swept through the pavilion. Li Zhouwei stood atop the cliff, seemingly gazing into the distance. Yet spiritual qi continuously gathered within his body, forming streams of mana from the [Scripture of the Body Guarding Tiger Pass] and flowing into his qihai.0

Within his qihai, the mana churned and transformed into streams of dark-golden currents. They gathered at the depths and rose at an astonishing speed, faintly forming scale-like glimmers of light.0

Li Zhouwei had always cultivated quickly. In the past, he had deliberately practiced various arts to conceal his speed and slow his progress. After achieving divine ability, his speed became even more astonishing. Now, with nothing held back, his cultivation soared. In just a few months, the mana in his qihai had already reached more than half the level required to form an Immortal Foundation.1

At this rate, in about half a year, I should be able to condense the Immortal Foundation of [Sovereign In Peril].4

Logically, a war between north and south could break out at any moment, and focusing on cultivation now was not the wisest choice. However, Li Zhouwei still had green talismans. As long as he formed his Immortal Foundation, using the talisman qi without side effects would likely allow him to achieve divine ability. It was a gamble worth taking.1
