Well past midnight.
The brazier in the ancestral hall had already gone out. Grandpa Yang Xun was still digesting the gains from his breakthrough, as motionless as a statue.
The Cat Master had returned to the altar, its round belly rising and falling as it slept soundly.
Jiang Yi opened his eyes and let out a long breath. His entire body felt as if a massive weight had been lifted, becoming instantly light and relaxed.
'In the end, one can only rely on oneself for Cultivation and Crossing the Tribulation.'
'The Celestial Book serves me, so it can be considered a crystallization of my own Dao Wisdom and effort.'
Having finished the ritual of "I beg the Celestial Book," all doubt vanished from Jiang Yi's eyes, leaving only a resolve as firm and still as a deep pool.
'Tonight is the night! I will break through to the Seventh Layer and overcome my tribulation!'
With his mind set, he opened his Primordial Gate!
