Competition Era
"I finally succeeded." Ning Wuque spoke to himself, his eyes brimming with delight.
He cultivated a spirit domain—or, more precisely, a Ghost Domain. But he had only grasped its rudiments, not mastered it completely.
He touched the Bodhi bead against his chest and smiled with confidence. If he hadn't obtained a Bodhi bead, he wouldn't have been able to grasp even the rudiments so quickly.
With the Bodhi bead in hand, Ning Wuque found both cultivation and comprehending techniques easier.
As if sensing something, he tucked the Bodhi bead back into his robes and stood up.
