Because of the side effects of the Genesis Creation Art, I did not dare to put it on cooldown. Sitting atop the Profound Heaven Gourd, I endured the slow speed as best I could. It could also be considered helping the gourd refine the inner core. Although the core was brimming with energy, it also contained corrosive energy, which required me to inject innate spiritual energy to strip it away and devour it before the gourd could extract its power.
The process was slow, but it was still countless times faster than cultivating. Over the course of several days, the Profound Heaven Gourd also grew rapidly. Once it had completely dissolved the outer layer of the inner core, its interior was already filled with profound energy, like a hell of molten fire!
With this energy, pure to the extreme, the Profound Heaven Gourd evolved even more recklessly. Originally covered in gilded patterns, it now began to reveal runes. With my guidance, the gourd even began to change color. Its original platinum hue gradually shifted toward violet gold. Although the color was still very faint, it was clear that it had already undergone some mutation!
