Zhao Xing glanced over and couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
He gathered a lot of information from these words, first of all, that Meng Kun had started practicing the mountain cultivation method fifty years ago.
This meant that fifty years ago, Meng Kun had already reached the second-level Tianyun realm. Although his official rank was third grade, his strength was already at second grade. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered cultivating a mountain.
The Earth Advantage Sect Ministers of Agriculture, upon reaching the second-level Tianyun realm, usually went to the Spirit Mountain blessed land for meditation.
But here in the Earth Advantage Sect, once they achieved the "Earth Return" to the second level, they would practice the mountain cultivation method, cultivating a Spirit Mountain (or inheriting someone else's Spirit Mountain).
Then, by borrowing the power of the earth, they would break through to the first-level Fate Palace Realm.
