Every hour that passed externally gave him ten hours internally.
Victor focused deeply.
Qi flowed.
His meridians pulsed with spiritual energy.
His Soul Transformation core rotated slowly, absorbing, refining, stabilizing.
Each cycle strengthened his foundation.
Each breath reinforced his soul.
Each second accumulated progress.
Outside the domain, Gojo rested peacefully.
Eirene stood nearby, watching silently.
She could feel the distortion but she couldn't exactly tell what was going on.
Victor sat unmoving within the domain with silver markings glowing faintly across his body.
He looked like a statue carved from moonlight.
Eirene tilted her head slightly without speaking.
She simply watched.
Inside the domain, days passed while outside it had only been a couple of hours.
Victor remained motionless.
Cultivating.
Refining.
Strengthening.
His control over qi improved further.
His Soul Transformation core became denser.
More stable.
More complete.
