However!
Li Xiaoya had celebrated a little too soon...
Another month and more passed.
Ninety percent of the Demon Beast images on the Ten Thousand Beasts Cube had been arranged correctly. Many of them stood in neat, uniform rows, making quite a magnificent sight. Yet a few scattered, separated images remained conspicuous on its surface...
Li Xiaoya was no longer turning the Ten Thousand Beasts Cube. Instead, blue light from his divine sense enveloped it as he continually simulated its rotations in his mind, calculating one step after another with his brow tightly furrowed.
Clearly, Li Xiaoya had run into trouble.
