Stepping out of his cultivation chamber, Mo Jian released a strong, powerful aura that radiated from his body.
This was the unmistakable aura of the Core Refining Realm, Stage 8.
Although the Evil Sect and the Vengeful Spirits had been subdued in both the Western Region and the Southern Region, he did not dare gamble on a fragile peace.
Thus, he decided not to suppress his cultivation and broke through to Stage 8.
Now, he only had a single stage to cross before he could begin attempting to become a Golden Core Expert.
In less than a year, he had moved from Mortal Rank-1 Warrior to Core Refining Warrior, Stage 8.
Such speed was unheard of across the continent, both in the present and in the past.
Taking a deep breath, he retracted his aura, and the signs of breakthrough vanished.
Outside his courtyard, the Old Withered Man stood proudly. He looked younger; his white hair had darkened.
As for the wrinkles on his face, like the bark of a withered tree, they had all vanished.
