The Advancement to Rank 4

Han Feng sat in the center of a hidden underground chamber, the air thick with the spiritual energy that had accumulated around him. He had found this place after following clues left by ancient cultivators, a cave full of rare spiritual essences. Now, it was time to move on. His body was in a peculiar state, at the peak of Rank 3, the threshold for an advancement. With his solid foundation, he could no longer delay the inevitable. Closing his eyes, he began to channel the energy from the environment into his body, guiding it through his energy channels with extreme precision. The Jade Heart Gu, which improved his mental and physical resilience, vibrated in harmony with the flow of energy. At the same time, the Shadow Chaos Gu, one of his greatest acquisitions, helped convert raw energy into a more refined and profound power. Out there, the Celestial Body Sect was still searching for him, but at that moment, all that mattered was evolution. The process of advancing to Rank 4 was not just a matter of absorbing energy, but rather of expanding his foundation, becoming stronger in every aspect. The currents of energy within her body began to spin violently. The pain was intense, as if each cell were being rebuilt. His spiritual veins expanded, accommodating the new energy that now flowed freely. Hours passed and, finally, a silent roar echoed within him. His body trembled slightly before a deep calm filled his mind. He had succeeded. Now he was a Rank 4 cultivator. Opening his eyes, an intense purple glow flickered in his gaze. His power had increased substantially. His physical strength, his speed, his ability to manipulate energy — everything had been elevated to a new level. Standing up, Han Feng flexed his fingers, feeling the new strength pulsing within him. Now, he was ready to face even greater challenges. The Western Region was vast and full of dangers, but he was no longer just a wandering cultivator. Now, he was a true threat in the shadows, a master of darkness shaping his own destiny.
