Ling Tian and the young woman arrived at a nearby town, seeking refuge after their harrowing encounter. As they rested and recovered from their injuries, Ling Tian found himself pondering the nature of the power he had felt during the battle.
He knew that there were different levels of cultivation, each marked by a greater level of strength and power. And he wondered if he had tapped into one of these levels, if only for a moment.
He turned to the young woman, who had introduced herself as Yan Fei, and asked her about the path of cultivation.
"Every cultivator starts at the first level," Yan Fei explained. "It's the foundation level, where you learn the basics of cultivating your inner energy and strengthening your body."
Ling Tian nodded, realizing that this was where he had started his own journey. He remembered the years he had spent training his body and mind, honing his skills and building his strength.
And then there are the higher levels," Yan Fei continued. "The second level is the Qi Gathering stage, where you learn to gather and refine your inner energy. The third level is the Foundation Establishment stage, where you build a solid foundation for your cultivation. And from there, there are many more levels to reach, each one more difficult than the last."
Ling Tian listened intently, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew that he had only scratched the surface of what was possible with cultivation, and he was eager to explore the path further.
Yan Fei smiled at him, sensing his excitement. "It's a long and difficult path," she warned. "But it's also one of the most rewarding journeys you can undertake."
Ling Tian nodded, his heart filled with determination. He knew that the path of cultivation would not be easy, but he was ready to face any challenge that came his way.
And with Yan Fei by his side, he knew that he had a powerful ally to help him on his journey. Together, they would explore the mysteries of cultivation, and unlock the true power of their inner strength.
