As Xu Ping's thoughts stirred, he opened that familiar proficiency panel as usual:
[Lifespan: 4321 / 4241 years]
[Realm: Nascent Soul Stage: 18/100]
[Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Woods Evergreen Scripture (Nascent Soul Chapter) Major Achievement: 1320/1600]
....
"More than twenty years since breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul... the cultivation has only increased by seventeen points..."
Xu Ping looked at the slow progress in the realm column and shook his head helplessly.
Every step of advancement in the Nascent Soul Stage requires a vast accumulation of Mana, becoming even more so in the later stages.
"At this rate, without unique opportunities, it would take at least a hundred years of hard work to cultivate to the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul."
"And the bottleneck from mid-stage to late-stage... its difficulty probably surpasses the breakthrough from Golden Core to Nascent Soul."
