"Boom"
With a thunderous echo from the Dantian, the once highly compressed mana burst forth.
The invisible and colorless mana instantly filled more meridians, greatly enhancing Chen Jiuge's physical strength.
"Finally broke through to the Second Level, but it was really difficult!"
Such a mere breakthrough from the First Level to the Second Level took Chen Jiuge a full seven days, almost failing midway.
It's not due to a lack of mana, but because the Dantian had been unused for cultivation for too long; after all, in the True Realm, Chen Jiuge was already an Immortal, and the Dantian only concerned the mundane realm.
"Next, I need to condense the second Nine Spirit Mark."
"Besides Xuan Tan, I should consider the second Contract Guardian Beast!"
Fourth Level Turtle Dragon and Lightning Lion are only controlled by the Beast Taming Ring; their cultivation is too high, even if a contract is desired, it's beyond Chen Jiuge's capability.
