One full cycle would allow them to advance one rank.
In other words, it would take a full sixty thousand years for them to reach the first rank through natural growth.
Without Xiao Shou's Absolute Fusion ability, it would take three hundred thousand years for a Flower of Eternity to reach Tier 5.
With such an absurdly long growth cycle, there was still a shortcut available.
That shortcut was the Ice Silk Worm droppings.
Ordinary Ice Silk Worm droppings were merely slightly better fertilizer for spiritual plants.
Only the droppings of Ice Silk Worms that had fed on Ice Heart Tree since birth had special effects.
They could greatly shorten the growth cycle of Ice Heart Tree.
As a result, Flower of Eternity that absorbed spatial power from Ice Heart Tree would also receive more time power and grow much faster.
This could reduce the sixty thousand year growth cycle down to ten thousand years.
