While the two people in the Dao heart realm cultivators were still chasing him, Yuchi had already passed the 333rd altar and reached the 334th altar.
The entire process had been simple and uneventful to him. Those inner demons that troubled others were simply eradicated with a simple pal strike.
The reason why there was a one-year agreement was because there were 334 altars here. On average, it worked out to around one altar a day.
It was also a form of performance measurement. If one started taking longer than a day to pass an altar, it was a sign that the cultivator was reaching their limits, and should probably stop soon to avoid taking on an inner demon that might kill them.
Currently, those two people were stuck on the 313th altar. To them, the inner demons there were already quite ferocious.
