The North, the Sea of Clouds.
A young man, who seemed to be the darling of the heavens and favored by providence, sat upright on a futon. With every breath he took, boundless radiant light swirled around him.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
"Sigh, it's too slow!"
Fortune exhaled deeply. His Qi trace flared, and two Innate Divine Techniques materialized around him. Impressively, his Cultivation had been restored to the realm of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Perfection.
However, the barrier between the Mid-phase and the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment stood before him like an insurmountable chasm, stubbornly blocking his path and preventing him from breaking through in one fell swoop. It would take at least three years to restore his Cultivation to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. To him, every minute and second of this process was an agonizing torment.
Just then, a streak of flowing light pierced through the air.
"Hmm? A message from Chen Taihe?"
