'Now that this is over, I still need to make Refining a Realm a priority...'
As the three beams of Sword Light returned to the Sword Box, Bai Zichen felt an exhilarating sense of satisfaction.
Back in the Core Formation Stage, he was unrivaled among his peers. The only opponents who had ever given him trouble were those whose Cultivation was a level above his.
Once he mastered Refining Sword into Silk, dealing with ordinary Core Formation True Men was as easy as slicing through melons. It was rare for anyone to force him into a second strike.
Today marked Bai Zichen's first true battle against Nascent Soul True Monarchs. His prior encounters had either been instant kills with the Qing Emperor Longevity Sword or brief, probing exchanges that stopped short of a full fight.
A single Nascent Soul True Monarch could ensure a faction's legacy for a thousand years, largely because they were incredibly difficult to kill.
