The Pill Root had finally finished growing. Upon internal reflection, Luo Yan could see that within his Dantian, the meridians were clearly defined, resembling a dense bud that had yet to unfurl.
If one were to speak oddly, it looked somewhat like a woman's uterus.
Considering that cultivating the Nascent Soul at the Nascent Soul Rank involves nurturing it, this comparison doesn't seem entirely off. The only difference is that women carry their own children, whereas the Nascent Soul that cultivators carry is a more elevated, energy-based form of themselves.
It's as if a larva wraps itself in a cocoon, and the Nascent Soul is one's own cocoon.
When a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Rank reaches Great Perfection and ascends to become an immortal, it is called "Feather Transformation"... Therefore, when put this way, it really is quite similar to insects.
The problem now was that even after the Pill Root had finished growing, the Golden Core showed no signs of change.
