Most people from the Hu Kingdom could only advance to an earth-ranking at most. No one had ever managed to achieve a breakthrough to another rank due to the scarcity of spiritual energy and the people in Hu were reluctant to venture into other kingdoms or dare to ascend mountains like the Celestial Mountain, where plentiful spiritual energy abounded.
Although the Celestial Mountain was a place where many sects were located, it was also occupied by numerous beasts, posing a significant risk for those who dared to ascend its slopes. Simply put, most people in Hu were too cowardly to challenge these dangers.
Long Huayan, however, was different. Born with an innate desire to survive, his only solution was to become stronger. From the moment he was accepted as Feng Guowen's disciple, he practiced his martial arts diligently every day and studied tirelessly. Coupled with his natural talent in this field, Long Huayan made significant advancements over the years.
