Chapter 857: The First Time of Cicada Wood

```

"After many years of cultivation and a little bit of cultivation level reward from the Light Cluster, I have finally succeeded in breaking through to the Golden Core Late Stage Realm,"

Lu Xuan's lips curved into a smile.

"From just advancing to Core Formation to reaching the Golden Core Late Stage, it took nearly forty years."

"Plus the more than thirty years from the Qi Cultivation Second Layer to just before Core Formation, in a mere seventy years, I went from a small Loose Cultivator at Qi Cultivation to the Golden Core Late Stage Realm."

His heart was filled with many emotions.

"This rate of improvement, even compared to those with an Innate Taoist Body or the reincarnated Great Powers, is nothing to scoff at."

The path of cultivation, from Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishment, and then to Core Formation, and even each breakthrough after Core Formation, all require one to go through numerous hardships.

But for Lu Xuan, everything seemed so natural.
