Several days passed by in an instant, with time trickling away like water running from an open tap. The days gradually blended from day into night and then from night into day once more, leaving Grey with little sense of how quickly the hours were passing as he remained aboard the magic ship and continued cultivating while waiting for the Ancient Technique to completely awaken.
During this period, numerous dead sea creatures occasionally attempted to approach the magic ship, seemingly attracted by the spirit energy it released or simply driven by the instinct to investigate an unfamiliar presence within their territory. However, whenever they approached too closely and Grey released even the slightest trace of his aura, the creatures would immediately sense the danger and retreat without hesitation.
