[Gathering Essence Third Rank: 9999/10000]
Under the Tianyuan Pear tree, Zhao Xing sat cross-legged.
Primordial energy flowed around his body, the vortex in his dantian swirling like a nebula, its speed increasing faster and faster.
At this moment, the primordial energy had already reached the limit of the Gathering Essence Third Rank, only a final bit of energy was missing.
But this last bit was not just a matter of quantity; it was the key to triggering a qualitative change.
Chen Shijie, seeing the situation, was about to turn and leave because integrating Gathering Essence into the body to break through a rank required a considerable amount of time; it meant adapting every inch of flesh and blood to the new level of primordial energy.
Even for the final step, the transformation could still take one or two hours.
His right foot stepped into the study, left foot still unraised, Zhao Xing opened his eyes and stood up from beneath the Tianyuan Pear tree.
