Tiandang Peak, Twelve Rotations Cave Mansion.
Deep in the Blessed Abode, a young man in black clothing sat cross-legged at the bottom of a Spiritual Energy hot spring, engrossed in deep cultivation.
After a moment, he exhaled a stream of white energy and slowly opened his eyes, which shimmered with divine light.
"Old Shi! I've reached the peak of the Dharma Appearance stage, only a half-step away from Transforming Core into Nascent!"
"Heavens! It's unbelievable! Just a month ago, I was still in the Qi Cultivation Stage!"
"This 'Blood-Burning Resting Breath Secret Method' from the Upper Realm is truly powerful!"
"Rest assured! At tomorrow's Five Branches competition, I'll definitely crush Lin Xiao. I'll make that Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak lose all dignity in front of his junior sister and Master. He'll wish he were dead!"
The young man's eyes were sharp, like a peerless Demon Sword that would not rest until it tasted blood.
Too long!
