their telepathic connection receded, he began his cultivation in seclusion.
At that moment, Ricky reached the maximum limit as a demi-immortal. Every aspect of his strength that was related to martial arts, like his enlightening power and his physical strength, increased in power hundredfold. No demi-immortal before him had reached this kind of level in the past. With this kind of newly-gained strength, he really should make a breakthrough now.

Soon, twenty-one days passed by in a blur.
'Oh, my God! As expected! Ricky has broken Jasper's record!' all of the disciples waiting for him said inwardly as they saw no signs of Ricky coming out from the Enlightening Pond. They sucked in a deep breath, equal parts shocked and excited for such an achievement.

Someone blurted out, arms flailing wildly, ”Just how long is he going to stay in there?”
Bang! Bang! Just as all the warriors were swimming in shock and doubts, rolls of ear-splitting thunder tore throughout the secret land, hushing everyone into awed silence.
