Now that her master had declared her as his pride, Gumiho decided to give it her all to make him even prouder.
Time passed quickly. Maximilian mostly stayed at the Spirit Mountain. He would only leave once or twice a month to check on Vyaghra's progress, who was staying at the border peaks of the Lingtian Mountains, where Soulforce was neither too dense nor too scarce for him.
Maximilian would give him a few pointers before returning and focusing on his own meditation.
Gumiho completely dedicated herself to cultivation. She would only come out of Primordial Nexus whenever she made a small breakthrough and needed to spar with Maximilian to consolidate her cultivation base. Even though Maximilian was using Soulforce at the Peak True Sage Realm, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to defeat her with each spar.
Five years passed.
