This concentration of spiritual energy... it feels amazing. Give me a little more time, and I'll definitely break through!
Bai Xiaowen was in high spirits.
However, he could also sense that the spiritual energy concentration in the Rainbow Pool was slowly declining.
In other words, the first person to enter the pool and cultivate gained the greatest benefit. Once the spiritual energy concentration dropped later on, the cultivation boost would no longer be so strong.
