The vortex hovering over Morgan's chamber kept expanding, twisting more tightly with every hour that went by. It was like a magnet, pulling spiritual energy from the surrounding air, and every cultivator outside could sense that steady tug against their own awareness.
Robert directed a question inward. "System, analyze Elder Morgan's breakthrough."
Breakthrough Progress: 47%. Soul Manifestation: Forming. Foundation Stability: 89%. Spiritual Circulation: Minor Instability Detected. Soul Foundation Pill Effect: Active. Recommendation: External Intervention Not Recommended.
Robert kept the reading to himself, watching the sealed door instead of explaining what he had learned. There was nothing anyone outside that chamber could do to help now, regardless of what the numbers showed. Morgan had crossed into the stage where the breakthrough belonged entirely to him.
