Chapter 36

Jian Yunshan had been tirelessly tempering his Internal Core, desperate to break through to the Postnatal Second Tier: Pill Embracing Realm. Yet, this breakthrough was proving agonizingly difficult. Over these many years, he had attempted it countless times, and every single attempt had ended in failure. He did not know that Shen Han had reached a definitive conclusion about him at the very start: without the guidance of a true master, he would never break through this level in his entire life. The Pill Embracing Realm was too difficult. It appeared simple, no different from other realms, but the Internal Core once forged could not be adjusted or altered. If, while at the Innate Fifth Tier: Meridian Pushing Realm, one had not thoroughly opened all thirteen meridians, it would directly result in the Sixth Tier of Xiantian lacking the capacity to develop sufficient acupoints. Without enough acupoints, the resulting Internal Core was inherently flawed. To attempt a breakthrough with an inherently flawed foundation was nothing short of a joke.
