"Time to attempt the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining. If I can break through smoothly, perhaps refining the Five Elements Divine Seals will follow as naturally as water flowing into a channel." Xu Qingtong hesitated no longer. He sat cross-legged, activated the Spirit-Gathering Formation, took out a Purple Sun Pill, and swallowed it.
