Beyond the Nine Provinces World.
"The seed has already been planted; now it is merely sprouting... If it is to bear fruit, more waiting will be needed..."
A wisp of Fang Qing's true self-consciousness had returned, so he naturally understood the Breath-Nourishing Dao, the Qi Refinement Way, and everything happening in the Nine Provinces.
This was the power of the Dao-Born Pearl.
"If it were another Golden Core True Lord, he would certainly have to remain here and wait for the fruit to mature... But I'm different.
