Chapter 646: Chapter 348 “Two 50,000,000 Years” and “30% Confidence” (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
“`
This was certainly impossible.
Even Milton Cheney was no exception.
However, fifty million years of arduous cultivation, although a long time, had brought Milton Cheney tremendous gains.
At this moment, he had absorbed a total of two hundred eighty million years’ worth of Longevity Nutrient.
It must be known that these years Milton Cheney had been without the help of Longevity Crystals, entirely reliant on absorbing Longevity Nutrient to reach this stage.
This also made Milton Cheney certain of one thing, that his Talent on the Longevity Immortal Path was indeed very strong.
It was just that Milton Cheney did not know whether he possessed such a Talent only on the Longevity Immortal Path or if he had considerable Talent on the other five cultivation paths of the Immortal Realm as well.
Because this might be the benefit of the Reincarnation Simulation, or perhaps it was simply due to his strong state of mind.
Of course, Milton Cheney had no way to verify this.
At least in this Reincarnation Simulation, he had no chance to verify it.
However, if he chose to reincarnate into this World in a future reincarnation simulation, and practiced other Immortal Paths, he might have the opportunity to test this hypothesis.
“How is it, are you confident?”
Seeing Milton Cheney halt his Cultivation, the Officer Zuan nearby spoke up.
“You’re being a bit too anxious,”
Milton Cheney shook his head and spoke with a slight frown.
Over the years, Milton Cheney had noticed that Officer Zuan was getting increasingly anxious, as if he was very eager for him to Breakthrough to the Slashing Longevity Realm as soon as possible.
In the beginning, he had given him a hundred million years, but now, not even fifty million years had passed, and he was urgently hoping for his Breakthrough to the Slashing Longevity Realm.
When put together with those few loopholes in the contract with the Heavenly Path, things seemed a bit ominous.
Upon hearing what Milton Cheney said, Officer Zuan looked somewhat helpless but didn’t say anything more.
After all, he and Milton Cheney were on equal footing, and although he wished for Milton Cheney to Breakthrough to the Slashing Longevity Realm as soon as possible, he could not force him.
Time waits for no one.
Previously, that Core Disciple of the Sect had made a move against him, and although it did not end his life, it had damaged the foundation of his longevity.
Now, his lifespan was constantly leaking away.
With the current rate of lifespan leakage, even if he continuously supplemented it with Longevity Nutrient, he had less than three hundred million years left.
If this mishap had not occurred, he would have had at least five hundred million years of life.
This meant he was running out of time.
Investing in Milton Cheney had already been for over eighty million years, but at this moment there had been no return.
Although he had anticipated this when he chose to invest in Milton Cheney at the start, he still felt somewhat unwilling.
What Officer Zuan didn’t know was that his mindset was already problematic at this point.
Or to say, the method of investing in an immortal being’s reincarnated body to reap benefits for oneself was not something a minor figure like him could accomplish.
By forcibly doing so, with the passage of time, he was growing blinded by desire.
The less he saw of any return, the more urgent he became.
Although Officer Zuan did not speak, Milton Cheney had guessed what was on Officer Zuan’s mind.
However, Milton Cheney had nothing to worry about.
In fact, at this moment, it wasn’t that he had no hope of Breaking through to the Slashing Longevity Realm; he was simply seeking more stability.
If he chose to Breakthrough forcibly now, he also had a considerable chance of success.
In Milton Cheney’s estimation, there was about a twenty percent chance.
Don’t assume that a twenty percent chance meant a slim hope; in reality, a twenty percent possibility was already quite high.
But Milton Cheney did not want to take the risk.
After all, one should have at least a fifty percent confidence before attempting to Breakthrough to the Slashing Longevity Realm, otherwise, the likelihood of failure was too great.
Should he fail, his nearly a hundred million years of painstaking Cultivation would have been in vain.
Therefore, when Officer Zuan asked him if he was confident, he decisively shook his head to indicate he was not confident.
No matter how anxious Officer Zuan was, Milton Cheney himself was not in a hurry.
“What about another fifty million years? Without worrying about resources, are you confident you can Breakthrough to the Slashing Longevity Realm?”
A moment later, Officer Zuan, now composed, spoke again.
Officer Zuan appeared calm at this time, but there was an unmistakable urgency in his tone, creating a somewhat jarring dissonance.
Yet Milton Cheney did not address these concerns again.

After Steward Zhuan made this statement, Milton Cheney fell into contemplation.
Should he offer a glimmer of hope? It seemed that pressing too hard might not be the best approach.
“Thirty percent certainty.”
After contemplating for the span of two breaths, Milton Cheney spoke decisively.
Although he only mentioned a thirty percent certainty, if he were to continue his arduous cultivation for another fifty million years, Milton Cheney would have at least a fifty percent certainty.
Of course, these were things that Milton Cheney would naturally not reveal.
Hearing Milton Cheney’s words, Steward Zhuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Thirty percent certainty? That was already enough.
If the treasure in his possession was added, along with Milton Cheney’s identity as a reincarnated immortal, it would be sufficient to raise the certainty of breaking through to the Slashing Longevity Realm to sixty percent.
But if he still failed in the end, it could only be blamed on his poor fate.
Over the years, because of Milton Cheney, he had learned much more about reincarnated immortals.
Some of the information was even beyond his access level.
Fortunately, as a Direct Disciple of the sect, he was still able to inquire about most of the information.
He was clear that once a reincarnated immortal stepped into the Loose Immortal Realm, they would make rapid progress straight to the limit of the Loose Immortal Realm.
Once a reincarnated immortal reached the limit of the Loose Immortal Realm, with the help of memories from their past life, they would quickly achieve the true Immortal Human Realm.
This was the calculation in Steward Zhuan’s mind.
It was also the reason why Steward Zhuan was so eager for Milton Cheney to break through to the Slashing Longevity Realm.
Of course, at this moment, he wasn’t sure if a reincarnated immortal, after reincarnation and abandoning the path of cultivation from their previous life and then choosing to cultivate a different path, would still experience this effect.
But taking the risk to try was certainly not a mistake.
As someone who had climbed out of countless corpses and reached the position of a True Disciple within the sect, Steward Zhuan naturally did not lack the courage to take risks.
Success or failure would be seen after fifty million years.
Milton Cheney noticed that Steward Zhuan’s expression had calmed down, but his eyes seemed to flicker a few times, as if he was plotting something.
Milton Cheney didn’t know what was on Steward Zhuan’s mind, after all, he couldn’t read minds.
But he didn’t care either.
After all, Steward Zhuan couldn’t harm his life, so no matter what Steward Zhuan might be plotting, it didn’t concern Milton Cheney.
As for what Steward Zhuan was agonizingly thinking about at the moment, Milton Cheney couldn’t guess, nor did he want to.
……
Time does not stop for any reason, and the gears of time also continue to turn ceaselessly.
In the blink of an eye, another fifty million years had passed.
The Immortal Realm had been through countless periods of fifty million years since its inception.
So although it was now fifty million years later, the Immortal Realm hadn’t undergone any major changes.
For Milton Cheney, who had endured over a hundred million years of rigorous cultivation, even with his high spiritual state, he was starting to feel some effects.
Now, he had accumulated up to four hundred and thirty million years’ worth of longevity.
But the price paid was the relentless cultivation for fifty million years.
Milton Cheney even had the feeling that if he continued cultivating, something unfavorable might happen.
Possibly losing oneself in this world or some other reason.
Now, it was time for him to rest for a while.
But just at this moment, Steward Zhuan who had just been cultivating, opened his eyes and looked at Milton Cheney.
“How is it? Are you confident?”
Steward Zhuan spoke.
What he meant by asking if he was confident was actually inquiring whether Milton Cheney felt confident.
Milton Cheney had an answer to this question, but he would not volunteer the correct answer.
A moment later, Milton Cheney replied indifferently, “Thirty percent certainty.”
The answer was the same as it had been fifty million years ago, and whether it was really thirty percent certainty, no one knew.
At least, Steward Zhuan didn’t know how much certainty Milton Cheney truly held of breaking through to the Slashing Longevity Realm.
