725. Eagerness

Noah returned in the territory of the Utra nation with the portal and went in seclusion as he waited for the higher-ups to form exploration teams.

His body was still a few dozens of rank 5 magical beasts away from reaching the middle tier, but his other centers of power were improving on their own.

The Black hole cultivation technique kept on absorbing "Breath", and the many runes filled with primary energy inside his sea of consciousness pressed on its walls. There was also the Blood companion now, which brought the expansion of his mind to a decent speed.

The absence of the sixth Kesier rune had forced him to train his mental sphere with alternative methods, and they were bound to have drawbacks when compared to the runes. His mind felt the constant pressure radiated by the ethereal whale and spherical runes while also enlarging at a lower speed.

It couldn't be helped. The absence of resources was a curse that afflicted every cultivator once reached higher ranks.
