"I remember this feeling." He felt excited at this moment. So excited... he hadn't felt such excitement in what felt like decades.
"When I first acquired my Cursed Ether Energy after cultivating for so long, this is how it felt, right?"
Sol had not only broken through into the Ascension Rank but now had regained his True Cursed Ether Energy at its most basic type.
Of course, he had lost his greater types of Cursed Energy, but all of them were created from cultivating and strengthening his True Cursed Ether anyway, so he didn't mind that so much.
He paused for a few seconds, taking in this moment which felt great to him.
Then, he took in a big breath of air through his nose.
"Agh! Thwak!" He coughed, "That's fucking disgusting!"
He forgot the horrid smell that impurities leaving one's body brought with it.
It was much worse than any type of poop, and even worse than a rotting carcass.
Best book you will ever read!
