Chapter 139 - 116: Qi Cultivation Level 9
"At last, I’ve broken through. I never expected it would take this long..."
Chen Li had believed he would reach the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation before the New Year, but he had been stuck at a bottleneck for over two months, only managing a successful breakthrough in the spring of the following year.
"Each layer is more difficult than the last."
Chen Li also felt a trace of pressure; his age was not on the younger side anymore.
Real age 43, nominal 44, almost 45, nearly 46, approaching 47, he was already close to fifty years old.
"They say the older you are, the harder it is to achieve Foundation Establishment. The longer you delay, the slimmer the hope becomes!" Chen Li sighed, took a moment to regulate his restive spiritual power, then stood up, "Some sect disciples begin their assault on Foundation Establishment in their twenties or thirties. Even so, their success rate is not high, and here I am, probably looking at trying for it at the age of forty-five."
He walked out of the basement, opened the front door, and stood under the eaves.
It was deep into the night, the darkness tranquil like flowing water, all quiet on the front, as Chen Li gazed at the distant stars.
He relaxed for a while, then opened the game panel.
In the past six months, he had successively maxed out his Scolding Skill, Flash Skill, and Palm Thunder. Of the remaining few spells he focused on practicing, aside from the Invisibility Technique, which was still at expert level, the rest had advanced to Grandmaster level.
However, he only glanced briefly at these skills.
