Li Yun raised an eyebrow.
"You actually forced a breakthrough?" he asked, with a faint note of surprise in his voice.
The Celestial Prodigy Camp was meant for cultivators between the 1st and 3rd levels of Spirit Manifestation Realm. Once someone entered the 4th level, he was no longer qualified to stay. In fact, several of the top geniuses already had enough accumulation to break through, and they simply chose not to.
The reason was foundation. Within the Spirit Manifestation Realm, every three levels marked an important threshold. Moving from the 1st level to the 2nd, or from the 2nd to the 3rd, was fairly simple.
Advancing from the 3rd level to the 4th was different, because it was the step into the middle stage of the Spirit Manifestation Realm. If a cultivator rushed through that barrier without building a strong enough foundation, his later cultivation could become much harder.
