Chapter 1177

The dragon qi in Longyuan is incredibly potent, but Jiang Chen has already reached the fifth stage of the Saint Realm. The amount of energy he now requires to breakthrough is astronomical. Even with the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique, which allows him to absorb and refine energy at a rapid pace, it would take him at least half a year to reach the sixth stage of the Saint Realm at his current rate—and that is assuming the energy supply remains abundant. Furthermore, he has been suppressing his cultivation to ensure he reaches perfection at every stage. Given these constraints, achieving the sixth stage is no easy feat. He cast everything else aside and focused intently on his cultivation. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. During this period of intense training, Jiang Chen’s cultivation reached the peak of the fifth stage of the Saint Realm. He was only a step away from entering the sixth, yet he chose to suppress his progress, forcing his cultivation from the late fifth stage back down to the mid-fifth stage.
