All these years of life were like savings without any interest accumulating.
Using Qiangzi’s strong method of calculation, having all these years of life without producing any interest meant a daily loss, a waste of precious time.
Living each day at a loss wasn’t worth it.
Given that the cultivation techniques for Foundation Establishment are incredibly difficult to practice, continuing to accelerate cultivation speed, exchanging time for space, is the best method to increase life-force investments.
As for the dwindling lifespan, there’s always a way to continue learning higher-level skills, tirelessly improve current cultivation techniques, or break through one’s power level.
...
Progress will never be stagnant.
There is no need to worry that consuming lifespan will no longer yield longevity.
Chen Dengming was pragmatic in his actions.

The thought that more than a year had passed since his last practice of the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill” alarmed him deeply.
He had wasted many years simply not investing them.
No interest accumulated from his lifespan.
Immediately, he went into the quiet room to prepare for the practice of the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill”, boosting his potential with life-force cultivation.
Whether this technique could upgrade the superior Spiritual Root to the rumored Celestial Spiritual Root remained unknown.
But if he continued to improve, his Spirit Qi Affinity would at least increase, indicating a minor increase in innate potential.
“I still have 346 years left to live…
I’m still very young.”
“This time I will set a small investment goal to try.”
Chen Dengming decided to start by investing one hundred years of lifespan meant to crush Innate Warriors as a probe.
…
Meanwhile,
A thousand miles from the Changchun Sect, within a gloomy gorge enveloped by mist, the canyon seemed wrapped in a white belt of fog, like a soft silk bridge.
Eight cultivators with menacing and baleful auras were gathered in the middle of the canyon, conducting a secret discussion.
Among them, a figure wrapped in foul-smelling black cloth spoke in a hoarse voice, “Blood Ghost, you were too rash this time, almost ruining our operation.
Now, both the Changchun Sect and the neighboring No Birth Sect are on high alert, intensifying their vigilance and even searching the mountains for traces of us, our plan’s difficulty has increased several folds…how can we explain this to the Demon Child?”
Upon hearing these words, cold and meaningful gazes converged on a gray-robed cultivator whose expression slightly changed.
The gray-robed cultivator had a horse-shaped face with high cheekbones and red eyes.
It was none other than the Blood Ghost Taoist, who had clashed with Chen Dengming a day ago.
Right next to him, the brawny, intimidating Blood Demon growled restlessly, as if threatened by the gazes around him, its aura of blood and murder rising sharply.
However, the rest of them maintained their icy expressions.
Each strong individual amongst them had fought their way out from the cruel, bloody place of demon cultivation in the Western Region.
Each one was powerful.
Few cultivators of the same level from the other three domains could rival them.
The Blood Ghost cultivator suddenly laughed, easing the atmosphere.
He clasped his hands and said, “Fellow Daoists, indeed I was rash this time.
However, I am not one to act blindly.
Despite the unexpected mishap causing dire consequences, the Demon Child specifically assigned me to probe around the Changchun Sect and liaise with contacts, not you…”
By the end, the Blood Ghost cultivator’s voice trailed off.
Every cultivator’s eyes flashed at hearing the word ‘Demon Child’.
The ill-intent in their eyes towards Blood Ghost subsided a little.
The Demon Child’s trusted aid was despicable, indeed.
But, they had to admit, they needed to remember the face of the Demon Child.
The Blood Ghost cultivator smiled.
Achieving the wanted outcome, he spoke in a conciliatory tone, “Gentlemen, I have already rendezvoused with our insider and received reliable information.
However, the time is not yet right for me to reveal too much.
I can only disclose to Master Li.
For the rest of you, I can give a general timeframe.
Our operation will take place at the latest by the end of summer…”
Someone interjected impatiently, “That means we still have three or four months…Too long!
I am eager to infiltrate the Changchun Sect.
I heard that the cultivators of the Changchun Sect who practice Changchun Skills are all well-preserved, young and beautiful, with sweet, tantalizing blood…”
“Hehehe, no rush, no rush, three to four months is merely a period for closed-door cultivation.”
“The last time I left a zombie in the Wind Matter Square, it had just ascended to the Red-Haired Zombie when it was alarmed.
This time, I want to catch a few powerful cultivators to make Flying Stiffs…”
…
Time passes by in the blink of an eye, just like a hundred years.
Half a day later,
Yes, just half a day, and to Chen Dengming, it was a hundred years which had silently slipped away, a hundred years of life consumed, directly invested in the Spiritual Root to yield returns.
Out of the hundred years of lifespan, forty were consumed to upgrade the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill” from the second to the third level.
His Spirit Qi Affinity also increased by 10 points as a result.
Wasting forty years of lifespan for just a 10-point increase in Spirit Qi Affinity would definitely have dissatisfied Chen Dengming in the past.
But today, he was already a superior Spiritual Root.
The effect of the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill” could not be as before, increasing four points of Spirit Qi Affinity for every six years of lifespan consumed, reaching the best effect at 120% efficiency.
An increase in ten points of Spirit Qi Affinity had actually achieved the minimum growth rate of 50% for the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill” at the second level.
The subsequent sixty years of lifespan were used to practice and overcome the second level to enter the third level of the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill”.
Almost every thirty years of lifespan consumed could increase the practitioners’ proficiency by ten points and their Spirit Qi Affinity by twenty points.
