The days passed in a seemingly calm manner, yet undercurrents surged beneath the surface.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and the liquid Five Elements Spiritual Power inside Li Shiming's Spirit Lake had nearly filled it to the brim. His realm was approaching the peak of early-stage Foundation Establishment, and it might not be long before he could attempt to advance to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Li Shiming's cultivation speed was even faster than Li Yuanba, who possessed the Heavenly Spirit Root at Senluo Sect and who utilized a top-grade Spirit Pill daily to accelerate his cultivation.
However, his progress in cultivation was not the most significant change; the real transformation was in his Taoist Body.
For over a year he cultivated the "Purple Qi Eastward" technique daily without fail. Although Sword Holding Peak was a smaller peak, its height surpassed the clouds, and even on rainy days, the summit could greet the first rays of morning sun.
