Chapter 628: Cultivation Complete

By the lake.

Mentor Xi Chan sat gracefully, her slender back straight and her curves poised. Her jade fingers toyed with a teacup, but her autumn-water eyes were fixed without moving on the golden lotus at the center of the lake. By her reckoning, Li Luo's cultivation here had already reached the twentieth day.

Of the three petals of the golden lotus, two had already withered, and only the last petal still radiated a strange light.

Li Luo, who sat cross-legged upon the golden lotus, had his eyes tightly shut, his complexion unusually pale, his body still trembling faintly, and a look of fear flickering in and out on his face.

Clearly, he was still locked in a stalemate with the artistic conception within the Black Dragon Dark Water Banner.

And that terrifying artistic conception was clearly not so easy to bear.

As for Li Luo's temperament, Mentor Xi Chan still understood it fairly well. His resilience was not low—after all, he had gone through the so-called matter of the empty phase back in the day, so his endurance was far stronger than that of his peers. Yet even so, he was still tormented not lightly by the artistic conception within that marquis-grade art.

So in Mentor Xi Chan's view, the fact that Li Luo had been able to hold on for twenty days without collapsing was actually still not easy at all. After all, when all was said and done, he had only just entered the Evil Palace Stage, and a marquis-grade art was still a touch beyond his reach.
