After a brief chat with the Great Emperor Yaofeng, Li Qinghai went off to cultivate on his own.
Cultivating in the Hall of Longevity mainly relies on the Qi of Time to strengthen the Emperor Body, allowing it to accommodate another imperial technique.
However, Li Qinghai's Emperor Body Dharma Image had already laid a solid foundation, and with the added power of will, a whole year of cultivation was enough to accommodate a second imperial technique.
Therefore, for Li Qinghai now, he could temporarily skip cultivating the Emperor Body and directly comprehend an imperial technique.
