Southern Wasteland, Jianmu Ruins.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by azure light. Streams of pure spiritual energy rose from the earth vein spirit spring below and surged into his dantian.
At the center of his dantian, the jianmu sapling shimmered with azure light. Its twelve slender branches glowed faintly, illuminating Lin Mo's internal organs and every inch of his flesh.
An unknown amount of time passed...
Bang!
A ripple of azure light burst from the surface of the jianmu sapling. Lin Mo's body trembled slightly, and his tightly closed eyes snapped open.
He had advanced to the Golden Core Second Layer!
Nothing that happened within his dantian could be seen with the naked eye, but Lin Mo was the master of this body. His perception was so keen that he could naturally detect every change in the jianmu sapling.
As Lin Mo saw it, his smooth advancement to the Golden Core Second Layer had nothing to do with how diligently he cultivated. Rather, it was a result of the jianmu sapling's natural growth.
In other words...
Even if he slacked off, his cultivation would continue to rise, only a little more slowly.
As long as he did not perish along the way, advancing to Nascent Soul, then Spirit Transformation... would merely be a matter of time. He would never have to worry about those so-called bottlenecks again!
"You've absorbed all the vitality of heaven and earth contained in this earth vein spirit spring."
Hai Beier extended her divine sense, sensing the subtle changes in the earth vein spirit spring. Her little face wore an odd expression. "Are you really a human cultivator, rather than some special demon beast?"
"Or are you... one of the legendary World Tree Descendants?"
Lin Mo rose from the ground, his gaze puzzled.
