For the next 30 years, Shang continued advancing in his Realm, and surprisingly, he actually managed to achieve a breakthrough earlier than expected.
It had only taken him a total of 80 years to reach the Late Void Break Realm. Usually, it would have taken him a bit over 200 years.
Shang exited his Isolation Barrier and looked at Linay. "What's the status?"
"We have gained two more ores of the Mage Emperor Realm, but we are still missing over 90%. It will probably take centuries."
"There has been not much progress in the negotiations. We don't think that there will be any progress within the next two centuries or so," Linay said.
Shang nodded. "Fine. I will come back out in a century."
Linay's eyes widened. "Wait!"
Yet, Shang had already entered the Isolation Barrier.
Linay gulped and took out her Transmission Medal.
Shang continued training.
