The divine statue of First Senior Sister only remained active for half a breath before returning to tranquility, but rustling sounds emerged from beyond the island.
Thick fog churned.
Li Mo certainly sensed the abnormality, but found no obvious hostility—merely an invasive gaze directed at his breakthrough into the Corpse Infant Stage.
"Could it be Eighth Senior Sister?"
Unable to unravel the mystery, Li Mo redirected his focus to Pu Dao's Artifact Infant, studying the process of the Nascent Soul nurturing an Innate Taoist Body.
Perhaps due to the complexity of the Taoist Body's transformation, progress was predictably slow and could take at least half a year.
What was most pressing now was Pu Dao's Artifact Infant approaching the bottleneck of a breakthrough.
Li Mo could only suppress Pu Dao's Artifact Infant, trying to delay its promotion to Nascent Soul—lest undue haste lead to hidden flaws.
He felt somewhat helpless.
