One hour later.
The two of them were embracing each other, lying on the red carpet on the ground. Chen Mo pulled over the bedding and covered them both.
It wasn't that Chen Mo wasn't able, nor was it that Nalan Yiren was tired.
It was because the Taotie Gu had gone on strike. Perhaps it absorbed too much energy at once, and according to Nalan Yiren, the Taotie Gu had fallen asleep.
Without the Taotie Gu's assistance, Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren's cultivation progress had the same effect as with Yue Ruyan.
"When will it wake up?"
Chen Mo seemed even more anxious than Nalan Yiren.
"From past experience, at least three days," Nalan Yiren cautiously replied.
"Three days?"
Chen Mo showed a look of disappointment. Earlier, he was thinking he could step into the Celestial Human Realm in a little over two months. Now it seemed he was too optimistic.
Nalan Yiren was also worried. If the Great Elder couldn't last until the Taotie Gu transformed again, it would be too late.
