Breaking through the Broken Sea State

Jing Jiu understood why Yuan Qijing felt so frustrated; it was because he was aware of how all the others felt about it.

If it were before, he wouldn't pay any attention to his feelings; but Jing Jiu decided to comfort Yuan Qijing this time because he had dealt with Fang Jingtian unyieldingly on his behalf.

"You're getting stronger too," he said to Yuan Qijing.

This was a high praise. Yuan Qijing had improved his state rather than being thwarted after Nan Qü's sneak-attack.

For a figure in the Heavenly Arrival State, it was very difficult to move one step forward in Cultivation.

"When one is old and sick and near their death, they would take things more lightly, and as a result, they would become stronger," said Yuan Qijing. "According to the mortals' saying, is this the 'revitalization before death'?"

"Don't say such foreboding words," said Jing Jiu.
