In a remote courtyard in Python City.
Zhaang Ye was using his immense willpower to endure unimaginable pain, circulating the True Qi within his body inch by inch.
Back at the True Hall, with the help of the thousand-zhang Pseudo Spirit Tree, Zhaang Ye had managed to cultivate the Qi Refining Technique to the 5th Layer in one fell swoop. He was only two layers away from mastering the Qi Refining Technique and reaching the Great Success Realm.
The pain involved in reaching the 6th and 7th Layers would be countless times greater than that of the 5th Layer. If he had forced his cultivation, his body would have suffered immense damage, even if his will could have withstood it. Considering this, Zhaang Ye had not continued to cultivate it at the time.
