Before he knew it, another year had passed.
Lü Zhong had spent this entire time in secluded cultivation. The pace of his cultivation progress was as slow as ever. However, his Barbarian Ancestor Heaven-Swallowing Mantra had broken through another layer, and he had successfully opened his twenty-third Acupoint. His qi and blood were as vast as the sea, and his physique had strengthened slightly as a result.
In addition to the Barbarian Ancestor Heaven-Swallowing Mantra, his Star Mirror, after a long period of nurturing, had reached the power of a Tenth-Layer Prohibition. Its might was the same as before: more than enough for those below his level, but not nearly enough for those above. It could easily handle cultivators of the same tier, but if used against a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it would be just as easily destroyed.
Lü Zhong realized his Late Sun Sword Skill and Magic Sword Skill could no longer keep up with his progress.
