This time, Xiao Ming didn't trigger any unusual phenomena after his breakthrough. Instead, he simply reached his new cultivation level after accumulating his energy to its peak state.
His breakthrough was seamless, with no major upheaval or sudden flashes of light. It was a quiet, internal process that showcased the incredible control he had over his own body.
After consuming more than seventy percent of the Nine Hundred Year Old Blood Lingzhi, the ancient energy within it merged perfectly with the power of his Ancient Dao Body, a physical constitution capable of absorbing and maximizing the potential energy of any source.
He could convert this energy into usable force and store it in his cells, fortifying his body for future use.
The breakthrough itself took no more than the time it takes to burn a single incense stick.
Despite its brevity, Xiao Ming felt as if he had been reborn. His body was alive with energy, an almost tangible sensation that made him feel invincible.
