"Imperial Grandfather, does this mean I've entered the Qi Refining Realm? That was way too easy, wasn't it?" Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at his somewhat astonished Imperial Grandfather.
Imperial Grandfather's mouth twitched at that. Easy? Back then, it had taken him a whole month to enter the first level of the Qi Refining Realm. Even so, he had already been the greatest genius in the history of the Snow Mountain Kingdom.
But how long had Xiao Yun taken?
Had it even been three seconds?
Imperial Grandfather looked at the childish-faced Xiao Yun before him and thought, This child's talent is even greater than I imagined. I absolutely cannot let him go astray, especially not let him become too arrogant. I need to knock him down a peg, lest pride and complacency waste this peerless talent of his.
With a turn of thought, Imperial Grandfather immediately put on a stern expression. Looking at Xiao Yun, he said calmly, "That's right. You have entered the first level of the Qi Refining Realm. But this is merely the beginning of cultivation. Given your physical talent, such progress is perfectly normal. Still, there is no need for you to be proud. In our cultivation world, some peerless geniuses break through three major cultivation stages in a single day, reach Foundation Establishment Perfection in a hundred days, and form a core in three years. Those are the true geniuses. You are still far from that."
Xiao Yun said respectfully, "Imperial Grandfather is right. I certainly won't become arrogant."
"Good. Continue listening to the second-layer mantra!" Imperial Grandfather nodded, very satisfied with Xiao Yun's attitude.
Immediately afterward, he began explaining the second-layer mantra.
Boom!
The moment Imperial Grandfather finished explaining the second-layer mantra, another golden divine dragon burst forth from Xiao Yun's body.
