Finally Found You

After that battle, as expected, no one challenged Lu Chong lightly for quite some time.

Though they had not figured out Lu Chong's true depth, they could still see the vast disparity in strength from that battle.

They wanted to break through, not throw their lives away outright—much less serve as stepping stones for Lu Chong's breakthrough.

Lu Chong was more than happy with this. His steps never ceased as he continued onward, surpassing one person after another ahead of him amid pain and torment.

It was only that his pace was growing slower and slower.

This Path to Profoundness seemed to stretch on forever, with no end in sight.

More than two months later, Lu Chong had already surpassed everyone on the Path to Profoundness, leaving them all far behind in a single gallop.

Yet even so, the anticipated transformation of his will still refused to arrive. Lu Chong had already lost count of how many times he had pushed beyond his own limits.

Here, he saw more ruins left behind by those who had fallen.

Some had died when overwhelming pressure shattered their wills, while even more had chosen life-or-death challenges after all hope of breakthrough had been lost.

Lu Chong did not know how many people had successfully broken through along this road, but the bones left behind were truly far too numerous.

Once again, he realized just how difficult it was to break through into the Dao Profound Realm.

But Lu Chong was not in a hurry. His lifespan was still long, and he was nowhere near the end of his rope, so he could keep his mind all the more calm.

Could it be that I have been too relaxed, which is why I have never touched upon the threshold of transformation? Lu Chong thought.
