    A few mins could be several to a dozen... But definitely less than one hour.

    I think I've seen 5~ min short, 15~ min, and 30~ depending on translator & novel.

    Pretty sure gravity specifically mentioned 15 (or was it 30?) in Demon's Diary.

    In what context?

    Like crossing several thousands of billions of "mu" a la I Eat Tomatoes style? Then yes, that's pretty fast.

    i.e. do you mean like a 100 meter dash or a marathon?

    What @DeadlyBell said. A bit shorter? But it really depends on the author. I usually assume it to be less or equal to several mins.

    Go buy some if you have a Asian store around they are cheap, it's never the same I've seen some burn for over 30 min and some burn in less than 4. (From having to burn incense sticks Everytime I visit my grandmother's house)

    Yeah, usually stuff gets pretty insane, at some point the numbers don't even mean anything.

    Like if there's a novel written by IET there will be "planets" larger than the sun and millions of attacks within the blink of an eye and so on...

    Basically, you just have to know that Linley is becoming more and more amazing.

    You're new to this xianxia genre and you don't even offer your respects to your seniors?! You have eyes but can't see Mt. Tai?! Offer me tea quick or you'll be courting death
