The Sea of Suffering had become increasingly difficult to traverse, but Shi Hao's soul strength had also been continuously strengthening. As a result, he was able to perform at a standard not inferior to his past self.
A hundred or so breaths later, the Soul Seed finally exhausted its energy and plummeted from the sky.
Shi Hao invoked thoughts, and his understanding of martial arts materialized into a Soul Island that swiftly rose within the Sea of Suffering to catch the Soul Seed.
As his realm advanced, so too did his understanding of the Other Shore Realm.
If one lacked sufficient understanding of martial arts, it would be impossible to cultivate a Soul Island in the Sea of Suffering, and even a slight deficiency in understanding could cause the Soul Island to crumble apart, resulting in failure to strike at the Three Islands.
Cultivation is like rowing against the current, if you do not advance, you will fall back.
