Was time important to cultivators? Important, why did cultivators cultivate? To put it bluntly, it was to fight against time. They wanted to win time, to live as long as the world, to live forever. Therefore, time was the most important thing for cultivators.
Therefore, for the sake of longevity, cultivators had to work hard in cultivation. However, many cultivators were obsessed with alchemy, tool refining, or the study of arrays. This caused many cultivators to put their energy into these things, which caused them to neglect their cultivation and eventually die in meditation.
However, with the time-acceleration ability of the realistic illusion, they saw hope. They could put their time studying arrays and Dharma artifacts into the realistic illusion because they realized that these things could indeed be done in the realistic illusion. The results of studying arrays in the realistic illusion could also be used in the outside world.
