Lin Mu sat down on one of the sofas that were placed in the room and began his story.
"After escaping from Gu Yao, I knew that returning was not gonna be an option for a while. At least until I was strong enough to fight him again. I thus went beyond the northern forest, all the way into the northern mountains.
There I cultivated in seclusion until I reached the peak of the core condensation realm. I reached a bottleneck and thus need to wait for the heavenly tribulation before I can continue forward.
I knew that the longer I waited the more dangerous the situation would get and thus finally decided to return. Thankfully, during that time I also experienced a growth spurt and my appearance changed enough that no one recognizes me now." Lin Mu spoke.
Wu Hei felt dumbstruck at his words.
'Reaching the peak stages of the core condensation realm in two years? That too from the peak stages of the Qi refining realm? Is this a joke?!' Wu Hei thought.
