With her newly acquired powers, Yi Ling achieved a breakthrough to the Nascent Stage, a pivotal moment in her cultivation journey. Unlike the conventional path of cultivation, Yi Ling's progress was uniquely influenced by her Seals. Each Seal, as it unlocked, served not only as a marker of her spiritual growth but also as a catalyst for exponential increases in her powers.
As she meditated in the serene confines of her chamber, Yi Ling felt the energy within her surge and transform. It was not the gradual ascent through levels of Qi refinement that most cultivators followed. Instead, her journey was marked by the unlocking of Seals—ancient imprints on her soul that connected her to a forgotten past and imbued her with abilities beyond the norm.
