Time within the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual Space doesn't correspond to the years gone by.
From the moment it started, Milton Cheney had lost track of how much time had passed.
He had no intention of sensing the passage of time within this space.
After all, no matter how much time elapsed within the space, time in the outside world remained unchanged.
His lifespan also wouldn't be consumed.
This was actually the second reason why the Spiritual Acknowledgment Ritual was so coveted by countless cultivators on the Spiritual World Cultivation Path.
One could receive a tremendous boost without consuming any lifespan.
This was undoubtedly a shortcut, saving years for the cultivators participating in the ritual.
A normal cultivator at the Sixth Realm seeking a breakthrough to the Seventh Realm would also need millions of years.
To think of advancing by millions of years all at once, one can imagine how precious such an opportunity was.
