Xin was still in his lotus position, eyes closed and Niko woke him up. His eyes were sunken and his eyelids were black. Making Niko have an impression that he was awake all night. His looks aside, he was having a different aura in his look. Just as Niko was about to ask him, Xin replied to him.
"Seventh Stage Sky Realm," Xin said to him.
"Ah," Niko replied and he thought he just misheard it.
"Say again?" He repeatedly asked.
"Seventh stage," Xin said then squeezed his eyes. Trying to stand up but his legs were weary. He failed to stand up but slammed his butt on the floor. That night was very exhausting but he was awake throughout the night to cultivate. Niko helped him and then gave him a cup of water.
"Wow Xin, you struggled that much for a whole night? You need to rest, I will cook," Niko said then laid down on the bedroll.
