Chapter 153: New Mission
For the next several days, Aric indulged in both his desires and his ambition. Each night, he was surrounded by the women he'd drawn to his side, fully immersed in the dual cultivation technique. The power he felt flowing through him was exhilarating. Day by day, he could feel his strength rising, his cultivation progressing at a pace faster than he had ever anticipated. By the end of the week, he had transcended the Half Immortal Realm, crossing into the Immortal Ascension Realm, First Stage. He couldn't hide his satisfaction, and he was certain he'd only just begun.

"Senior Brother Aric," she greeted with a respectful tone, "Elder Sharon has requested your presence in the Qinlong Hall."
Aric raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Did she mention what it's about, Yerim?"
