Xu Zhi did not know how vast the lower level truly was, but from the information currently available, the "Plain District" alone was roughly the size of Cloud City. She still did not know what other districts existed throughout the lower level; there were simply too few channels through which she could obtain information.
She said Little One was relatively close because, in Xu Zhi's perception, Little One was about half a Cloud City away—within the Plain District. At its current speed, even if it had to avoid notice, it would take no more than an hour to get here.
After giving Little One its instructions, Xu Zhi continued studying the changes after her breakthrough. Other than Little One, what she sensed most clearly was [Cursed Speech] residing in her throat. As the formerly data-like levels turned into streams of information entering her mind, Xu Zhi unsurprisingly discovered that [Cursed Speech]'s "level" had not changed at all.
That made sense. Cursed Speech relied on her extraordinary energy to level up, and she had only recently recovered a little. She did not even have enough for herself, much less any surplus to send to Cursed Speech.
Besides that, Little Aberration's condition was still not very good. Xu Zhi could only sense that its life force seemed to have stabilized somewhat. It was no longer like a candle flickering in the wind, but she could not perceive anything more specific.
Perhaps Little Aberration's condition would only begin to improve once the seed sprouted. But what did it need to make this seed germinate?
