``` [Age 54]
[After obtaining [Colorful Talent: Ten Gates], you did not chat much more with Zero.]
[Since this fellow always liked speaking in riddles, you might as well let him!]
[There was nothing you could do about it...]
[This year, all the [Nascent Soul True Lords] you had previously devoured were replenished.]
[Another seven broke through to the [Nascent Soul Middle Stage], leaving you marveling at just how powerful the rule-type ability [Fate Demon Dice] truly was!]
[These "talented ones" were breaking through faster and faster!]
[After receiving assurances from the "big shot" Wu Yong had mentioned, you began pursuing breakthroughs a little more actively.]
[Your [qi refining limit-breaking] was currently at [Qi Refining Limit-Breaking Thirty-Four-Thousandth Layer], which was not far from forty thousand layers.]
[You estimated that you could reach forty thousand layers in another dozen or so years.]
[When the time came, you could also ask this "big shot" to help you with "tribulation transcendence"!]
[After all, who did not like growing stronger?]
[You seized those seven Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lords in one sweep and refined them in an instant.]
[In a flash, you broke through to [qi refining limit-breaking thirty-five-thousandth layer].]
[Your foundation establishment limit-breaking reached [foundation establishment limit-breaking thirty-one-thousand-five-hundredth layer]. Both still needed work...]
[You received no intelligence from [Golden Talent: Listening] this year,]
[Presumably, Zero had intercepted it, selectively keeping you in the dark...]
[Age 55]
[There was still no intelligence, and another seven Nascent Soul True Lords broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.]
[After devouring and refining them, you broke through to [qi refining limit-breaking forty-five-thousand-eight-hundredth layer].]
[Your foundation establishment reached [foundation establishment limit-breaking thirty-two-thousand-five-hundredth layer]!]
[Age 57]
[Two years passed, and the number of True Lords breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage each year remained seven.]
