Hearing Ji Tianming say this, Yang Ling nodded sheepishly:
"I was lucky this time. My Internal Skill broke through to transcendent sainthood at the critical moment.
Otherwise, the stellar fire would definitely have burned me into a dried husk!"
His Internal Energy had broken through to transcendent sainthood?
The three exchanged glances, realization dawning on them.
No wonder the furnace flame had suddenly stabilized. Breaking through to transcendent sainthood with an Internal Skill brought enormous benefits, strengthening one's foundations.
But this kid is already at the peak of the Upper Fifth Rank, and he's even condensed transcendent-grade stellar fire. Yet his Internal Energy hadn't reached the Transcendent Saint Realm?
A trace of doubt flashed through Zhao De's mind.
Could he have been slacking off instead of practicing regularly?
"Still, this is stellar fire..."
Ji Tianming stared at the Qilin Phantom behind Yang Ling:
"I never thought this stuff really existed. Something above tribulation fire-this is the first time I've seen it in my life."
Zhao De studied Yang Ling for a while, his brow relaxing:
"My disciple, the stellar fire has initially stabilized. I estimate it will take another ten days to half a month to fully form a furnace.
You've already passed the hardest hurdle.
Until the furnace forms, it will temper your body.
Once the tempering is complete, you'll truly enter the Lower Fourth Rank."
The White Bone Divine Lord nodded lightly. "You have indeed passed this hurdle. Next, the stellar fire will nourish you in return.
The benefits brought by a fire seed with foundations like these are unimaginable."
"It was all thanks to both masters' wholehearted assistance!"
Yang Ling said solemnly, "Otherwise, this disciple would surely have been burned into a dried husk long before now."
He had already begun reviewing the process of this breakthrough.
