“I originally planned to cultivate straight to the peak of the realm.” “Pretty bold, right?” “Starting with the very first step, drawing qi into the body, I wouldn’t stop at a single realm. I’d break through all the way to ascending in broad daylight.” “When I first joined the sect, I told everyone there, my master, my senior brothers and sisters, and my junior brothers and sisters, that I’d reach the peak in one go.” “Then why did you give up in the end?” Hearing the disciples around him ask curiously, Xu Lin’s expression turned solemn. “The biggest problem, of course, is having an opponent.” “I studied the experience of countless predecessors and realized I had to give the young prodigies who came up alongside me a chance, a chance to catch up. Only then would I have the opportunity and motivation to break through to an even higher level.” “So all those rumors going around outside are completely false. I’m absolutely not afraid that cultivating too quickly will keep me from surviving the tribulation.” “Absolutely not!”
