"Eighth-stage Initial Realm? This is..."
Lu Yuan was shocked, filled with disbelief.
In his past life, how much time and cost had he spent, how much suffering had he endured, just to become an Awakened.
Even right before his death, he only reached the ninth stage, unable to take the next step.
It was a whole ten years of hardship.
Yet despite that.
He remained just a minor character.
But now, just by merging with the Ancient Bodhi Tree, he had equaled nearly ten years of effort back then...
Moreover, reaching this step in his previous life had exhausted all his potential.
Yet now he was just beginning.
After merging with the ancient tree.
His physical body broke through its shackles, and the treasures of the human body were fully unlocked, equivalent to building an unprecedentedly solid foundation before constructing a skyscraper, a foundation that probably surpassed everyone else in the world.
