"Did you just… break to the eighth spiritual realm? Just by trying to display your cultivation?" Chihiro asked, with a look of barely controlled shock on his face.
As a cultivation quasi-mentor to me, his knowledge about the state of my spirituality was second only to Claire's, with whom my cultivation was intrinsically linked on a level no non-spiritual connection could mimic.
That's why, more than anyone else but Claire, he knew I was nowhere near reaching the bottleneck of the seventh cultivation stage, still having to go through the process of proper accumulation of spiritual energy to reach the point where I would approach the limits of the stage I was in.
And yet…
No matter what he, Claire, the two guards, or I myself would think possible, just a single look into my cultivation was enough to confirm that I had, indeed, broken through my recent limits and evolved my spirituality a step beyond.
