Lian Qi Lianle Sanqian Nian

At seventeen, Bai achieves level ten in the Qi Refining stage, on the verge of a breakthrough, showing great promise. Three thousand years later, he is at level 66,66a of the same stage, still unable to advance further. Despite being stuck at this early stage for millennia, Bai remains powerful, transitioning from a Grandmaster to a formidable "Grand-Monster." The source also mentions a bonus CNY chapter and a seven-chapter side story.
