At this time, Wang Delin was only twenty-five or twenty-six, yet his cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.
The earliest a cultivator could establish their foundation was at twenty. In other words, in merely five or six years after Foundation Establishment, he had advanced from the first layer to the fourth.
If Wang Daoyuan were to see Wang Delin now, he would probably be greatly shocked as well.
A Heavenly Spiritual Root combined with a water spirit body—his cultivation speed was terrifyingly fast.
