A wave of pure, unadulterated essence flooded his being, and Lu Sheng felt himself ascend. He could feel his senses expanding, his awareness stretching out to the world in a way he had never experienced before.
[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully broken through the Mortal Shell and entered the first realm of cultivation,] the System announced, its voice filled with pride and accomplishment.
Lu Sheng opened his eyes, feeling a profound sense of clarity and strength in his veins. The world around him was sharper and more vibrant, every detail felt more closer and clearer. He took a deep breath, feeling the Essence flowing freely through his body.
"I did it," he whispered, a broad smile spreading across his face. "I really did it."
[Yes, you did. But this is just the start. There are many more levels to climb. This is just the Spirit Breathing Realm.]
