After Huo Yuhao finished forging this piece of Heavenly Refinement metal, she stopped what she was doing and gazed at it somewhat absently.
In the distance, Xiao An stood beside Qiu'er and asked her, "Isn't Senior going to rest?"
Huo Yuhao had been here for a week, and Xiao An had watched here for a week. His Soul Power had long since reached rank thirty-six, and he had already grown into a youth, beginning to shed his childish appearance.
For him, however, not even a year had passed.
At his question, Qiu'er merely shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either."
"Perhaps she's gained some insight," Na'er said to Qiu'er as she came over from the side.
Hearing Na'er say this, Qiu'er and the others beside her could only assume that was the case.
Huo Yuhao gazed at the Heavenly Refinement metal before her without continuing to forge. She now discovered that, each time she performed Heavenly Refinement, although that feeling seemed a little closer, it was actually growing ever more distant.
It was as though her heart, like the hammer constantly striking the metal, was pounding fiercely, yet at the same time, it was also beginning to fall into disorder.
Huo Yuhao stopped. She needed to quiet her heart and calm down.
Everything around her became utterly still. Every trace of flowing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, every fluctuation of Element Particles, slowed and became visible.
Everything from that time seemed to reappear before her eyes. It seemed only an instant, yet also seemed as long as millions upon millions of years. She understood what it was she had sensed.
Her awareness gradually returned. No one spoke; only Austin Griffin's voice remained in her mind.
"How disgusting. I seem to have caught the scent of that thing again,"
