The Nine-Layered Spirit Gathering Tower.
The lingering force of Fourth Elder Li Xuanzong's breakthrough had only just dissipated.
On the seventh floor of the tower.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged violently once more.
Inside a cultivation chamber.
A tall, slender figure sat cross-legged.
He looked about sixteen or seventeen, dressed in black martial robes.
His brows were sharp as swords, his eyes bright as stars, and his bearing strikingly handsome.
Yet within his seemingly slender body, an ancient savage beast seemed to lie dormant, radiating terrifying blood vitality that made hearts tremble.
He was Li Hao, the greatest prodigy of the Li Family's younger generation.
At sixteen or seventeen.
Across the world, most of his peers were still struggling bitterly in the Body Realm or even the Body Forging Realm.
Anyone who could touch the threshold of the Qi-Blood Realm was already a genius renowned throughout their region.
Anyone who reached the Innate Realm could already be called a prodigy.
Yet Li Hao was now attempting to reach innately great perfection!
At that moment, a golden halo rose around Li Hao.
The spiritual power within him battered furiously against the unyielding barrier between realms.
Time passed.
With a crisp sound like shattering glass.
The barrier to innately great perfection shattered with a thunderous crash.
Li Hao's eyes snapped open.
A sharp gleam flashed through his dark pupils.
An aura far more powerful than before erupted from his slender body.
I did it!
Innately great perfection!
Innately great perfection at seventeen!
At such an age, with such cultivation.
It was enough to put countless monstrous talents who called themselves geniuses to shame.
Even many older cultivators who had lived for centuries would feel ashamed of themselves.
Li Hao slowly reined in his aura and exhaled a long breath
