In the hall of the cave abode, Zhao Gongming was drinking alone when he noticed the various formations and restrictions around the seclusion chamber disappearing one by one. He immediately knew that his disciple had finished his seclusion, but he wasn't sure if he had successfully cultivated the Seventy-Two Earth Fiend Soul Splitting Art.

Back in the day, it took him a full year and a half to cultivate the Seventy-Two Earth Fiend Soul Splitting Art to the Initial Completion stage.

What he didn't know was that Guo Feilong had taken less than two and a half days to reach the Initial Completion stage of the Seventy-Two Earth Fiend Soul Splitting Art.

Then, in the remaining eight months, he cultivated it to the Minor Completion stage.
