As he briefly gauged the man's aura, Lü Zhong identified him as a Nascent Soul Cultivator. His cultivation felt like a Sea Abyss—deep and unfathomable.
'I'm afraid he's already at Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation!'
His heart tightened. He knew the middle-aged man before him must be the Nascent Soul Cultivator overseeing the fleet.
It was said that attacks by Sea Beasts were commonplace while sailing the Boundless Sea, but he hadn't expected this fleet to be guarded by a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
This was not a good sign.
Though it might seem like only a single Small Realm separated the Early Stage and Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, the gap in power between the two was anything but small. A Mid-stage cultivator could typically defeat an Early-stage one without much effort. If the timing was right, there was even a significant chance they could kill an Early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator on the spot.
