Time passed.
As before, Lin Mu lost track of it entirely.
Still, the one he sought did not appear.
The Flawless Metal Anvil was nowhere to be seen.
He did not rush.
He allowed the process to continue.
Eventually, the manifestations began to slow.
Then, at last, something changed.
The metallic light gathered in a denser form.
It condensed into a solid structure.
An anvil appeared.
Its surface was smooth, flawless, and perfectly balanced. It radiated a quiet authority, a presence that did not need to assert itself.
Lin Mu's eyes sharpened.
The Flawless Metal Anvil.
He did not call to it immediately.
He had learned.
Instead, he waited.
More Dao Embryos continued to appear, and among them were some of the strongest he had seen so far.
