Growth Unnoticed
Could it be that the tails had grown in the wrong place, right up to their navels?
Song Shuhang once again carefully observed the seven Minor Nascent Souls.
No mistake.
They really were umbilical cords.
The seven umbilical cords connected to the Spirit Lake, turning the entire Small Dantian Spirit Lake into their placenta.
However, the seven Nascent Soul Embryos did not directly draw energy from the Spirit Lake. Instead, they used the Spirit Lake as a springboard, siphoning energy from Demon Emperor Hezhi and transforming it into nourishment for their own growth.

At most, Demon Emperor Hezhi's greatest role was that of "soil," providing the nourishment needed for the seeds to grow.
Thinking of it that way made him feel much better.
The energy needed for the seven Nascent Souls to grow was extremely enormous.
Senior Divine Dragon's estimated "fifty years" was a relatively standard figure.
