Chapter 4555 — Three Rank-Ups in a Row
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
With a clear cry, a nimble shadow came flying swiftly from afar, circling again and again around Wei Zhao's position. It was the spirit bird Huang Xiaotao had left him.
Perhaps because the spiritual qi here was so dense, though Wei Zhao had never once seen the spirit bird cultivate of its own accord these three months—it had done nothing from start to finish but play and frolic—if one compared it with three months ago, one would find that the creature had undergone a transformation reborn anew. In both presence and speed it had risen a great notch, and even its once docile, harmless gaze now held a faint edge of the sharpness unique to high-grade flying spirit beasts. That was an unexpected delight.
Whew! Wei Zhao let out a long breath of stale air, stood up, and stretched lazily. A slight curve at the corner of his mouth, he leaped onto the spirit bird's back and murmured to himself, "Two months left before the mission deadline. Time to head back."
At this very moment, after a full three months of hard cultivation, Wei Zhao at first glance seemed little different from before. If one insisted on naming a difference from when he had just broken through to late Golden Core, it was that his aura had grown a shade deeper and more restrained—and that was all.
Yet that was mere appearance. As for the fruits of these three months of bitter cultivation, even Wei Zhao—a freak long accustomed to rocket-like, leapfrog breakthroughs—could not help but feel his blood surge at the recollection. For no other reason than this: he was now a genuine master of Golden Core Great Perfection!
From the moment he fled into the Five-Venom Marsh until now, at the fullest count only three months had passed. Yet Wei Zhao's cultivation had climbed all the way from the peak of mid Golden Core to Golden Core Great Perfection, the very limit of the Golden Core stage. If word of this got out, it would absolutely overturn everyone's worldview.
From the peak of mid Golden Core to Golden Core Great Perfection—for an ordinary cultivator, let alone three months, even thirty years would be a fool's dream. Many there were who were stuck for three hundred years and in the end advanced not an inch. If they learned of this "miracle" that had happened to Wei Zhao, they would surely weep blood from sheer envy...
It had to be said that this mysterious, vast underground space of the Five-Venom Marsh was truly a land of precious fortune made by heaven for Wei Zhao. In all the world, one could likely find no place better suited to his cultivation—whether the extremely high concentration of spiritual qi or the five-element killing aura found nowhere else. Beyond this Five-Venom Marsh, such things were hard to come by anywhere.
Three rank-ups in three months—even Wei Zhao himself found it hard to imagine. Not to mention that he was already at the Golden Core stage; even at Foundation Establishment, or indeed below the Heavenly Dao, such a near-mad rate of advancement was truly inconceivable, appalling to hear.
