'I really shouldn't have broken through to the Middle Stage of Core Formation Realm,' sighed Raon in self-derision as he continued to walk on the damp, muddy path of the Attruc mines.
He had forced his way to the next stage with the help of Niveus, who helped him rush to the next stage with the fewest side effects.
It didn't nullify the side effects, however. A forced breakthrough prohibits one from cultivating further until their foundation, core, cultivation, dantian, energy pool, or spiritual energy meridians have not recovered to their optimal state.
It could be one or multiple causes stopping one from advancing in their cultivation unless they take pills or natural treasures to stabilize themselves.
'Tsk. If not for my safety not being guaranteed, I would have never broken through in such a manner.' Raon lamented inwardly at how Niveus had goaded him into a breakthrough.
