Chapter 375
The Chasing demon sect had constantly been provided with reports about the Inheritance ground, its rewards to each trial were like a magnet that attracted all the ambitious cultivators that were nearing the third rank of the dantian .
There were many like Noah who were in the solid stage of the second rank, the previous strongest rank 2 cultivator, Perry, was an example of that .
Yet, they would rather take the slow but steady approach when it came to the breakthrough to the third rank, an injury during that process could be fatal to the cultivation journey of a cultivator and it could even take its life away .
However, that approach changed when more and more rumors about the possible gains behind the trials of the separate dimension became public .
A high number of disciples that were in the solid stage begun to isolate themselves in their caves, trying to concentrate solely on reaching the peak of the second rank .
In the more than two years that had passed since the separate dimension was discovered, many rank 2 cultivators had successfully stepped on the peak of the human ranks .
Of course, there was a high number of casualties due to that reckless approach but the sect couldn't care less about it, rank 2 cultivators could be nurtured easily while one in the third rank was a powerful asset, almost any number of casualties was worth increasing their numbers .
Noah was aiming for the same thing but his approach was quite different .
The Dantian's opening gave him a lot of free time, only three days each week were used for that practice if the procedures and the resting time were summed .
That's why he could focus on the accumulation of merit points in those years, the generous rewards of the sect and the lack of manpower allowed him to reach the needed sum for the fourth Kesier rune even if he only did missions suited for rank 2 cultivators .
As for the secret arts, he had momentarily put their study in the back of his mind .
After all, the level of his centers of power had the priority and the Inheritance ground had items and techniques that vastly surpassed the value of a secret art, the right choice was to hasten his entrance in the dimension .
With the fourth Kesier rune in his possession, Noah could finally seclude himself inside his cave with the intention of coming out of it as a rank 3 cultivator .
That breakthrough arrived even earlier than Noah had expected .
Noah didn't have clear methods of comparison, rank 3 cultivators always appeared like middle-aged people between their thirties or forties so he couldn't really know how fast he was improving .
Yet, he knew that it generally took three years to reach the peak of each stage of the second rank, and a bit more when it came to the solid stage .
Noah had entered the second rank when he was eighteen, a feat possible only thanks to the early formation of his dantian which gave him a head start .
Now, after a bit more than eight years of methodic training and constant battles, he was finally stepping in the apex of the human ranks!
