In just a few breaths, Sacred Embryo Li Fan ascended all the way from a Mortal and was directly promoted to the Initial Stage of Energy Refining.
Moreover, totally ignoring the existence of the Heavenly Calamity, he continued towards the perfection of Energy Refining.
It wasn't until the Foundation Establishment Strange Object was lacking that he finally stopped.
This time he did not choose any particularly unusual item.
Instead, Li Fan himself and his clone worked together, creating a low-grade Mortal's Strange Object out of thin air through Sword Dao, to use as the material for the Sacred Embryo's ascension.
With the Unyielding Sword as his Tao Foundation, the Sacred Embryo was able to continue receiving the vast cultivation base transmitted from Li Fan.
Transforming Sword Dao into the Golden Core Technique had already become familiar territory.
