Despite the drop in realm, Qi Tian felt that not only had his strength not decreased, but it had actually increased a bit, boosting his combat power. More importantly, his transition to cultivating the Three Essence True Scripture had made his foundations sturdier, his path to practice wider, and his potential accomplishments in the future possibly higher.
Happy with the results, Qi Tian enjoyed these changes. The height of cultivation realm had never been his primary pursuit, he was seeking combat power and future growth prospects. It was like those at the Half-step Golden Core stage, despite their higher realm, they still fell easily to his blows. While the height of the cultivation realm is important, it should not be the only goal pursued.
The next day, after spending the night cultivating, Qi Tian happily walked out from his room. After a stroll outside, he found only Master Hao was on patrol. Qi Tian went up to greet Hao Wenxi.
