"The path of cultivation must not rely solely on shortcuts, otherwise a weak foundation will ultimately lead to failure," Star Illusion Thousand Machine reiterated, admonishing Mu Hanyan.
"I understand what you are saying, I know the principle, but with my current situation, if I rely on myself, I might never break through the Swordsman Realm. The 'Washing Marrow and Cutting Veins' was too thorough, I really have no other choice," Mu Hanyan said with a grimace, "I need to become stronger as quickly as possible, I must become stronger quickly so I can protect my family, my friends." By the end, Mu Hanyan's tone was incredibly determined, and her gaze was exceptionally resolute.
She knew better than anyone that the process of cultivation itself was also a form of discipline, a self-polishment, and that relying completely on external objects to enhance one's strength was not feasible, but her current predicament left her feeling helpless.
