True Core Realm

"Golden Garment Art should reach perfection too!"

Jiang Chen let out a long breath and suppressed the excitement surging in his heart. He rose, applied medicine, inserted golden needles into his acupoints, and assumed the Crane Soaring to Heaven stance.

The past few days of grueling cultivation had not only brought him into the Jade Bone Chapter; his martial cultivation and Golden Garment Art had also made gratifying progress.

His cultivation had reached ninety percent of the True Sea Realm Late-Stage. Once he visited the Cultivation Tower tomorrow, he could attempt to break through to the True Core Realm.

With Innate Treasure Medicine and the sect's secret pill to support him, plus his reborn bone aptitude, forming a True Core was all but set in stone.

As for Golden Garment Art, that had advanced even faster. The first layer was already sixty percent of the way through its major accomplishment stage.

He would not need to wait until tomorrow. The first layer would reach perfection tonight.

Time slipped by without a sound.

Around Chou Hour.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

Jiang Chen stood quietly in his stance when his skin, flesh, sinews, and bones suddenly began to ripple faintly. Wisps of visible steam rose from his body.

Before long, the steam swallowed him whole, turning him into a figure of mist.

It came from the surging Blood Qi within his skin, flesh, sinews, and bones.

That Blood Qi was not energy from the Blood Seal. It had been nurtured by his transformed physique and now filled every part of his body.

This was power that belonged to him, wholly one with his being.
