If one wants to ensure success in such a situation, Gray Mist is the only option.
Fortunately, in scenarios with a certain probability of success, using Gray Mist consumes far less than directly using it for a breakthrough.
This is one of the advantages of high-level Extraordinary Worlds.
In the Magic World, becoming a Divine Spirit and reaching the Divine Realm as a Mage is merely a new path.
Without enough resources or the corresponding level of magic, even the cultivation technique is a rather crude one created using Gray Mist.
In such a situation, breaking through involves forcibly using Gray Mist.
The consumption is naturally high.
Cultivation, however, is different.
The level of this world is high enough, there are powerful cultivation techniques, and various strong resources to aid in breakthroughs.
Meeting these conditions substantially reduces consumption.
This is one reason why Shen Yu values the path of cultivation.
