Hecatoncheires flew rapidly across the skies, avoiding contact with flying colonies of bizarre, alien-like Entities high above. From Louis's scans, the weakest were Level 4.
On the way back to the Frostbane Kingdom, Louis continued his Cultivation while sitting cross-legged. Hecatoncheires had an internal, hollow ribcage where Zorba had shaped a resting area.
Thus, while feeling the strong, refreshing winds, Louis slowly refined his Soul, Body, Mind, and Spirit using the Void Meridian Sutra Method. At the same time, he strengthened his Nirvana Flames with the Nirvana Soul Flame Furnace Method, gradually overcoming its "conceptual" stage.
As for the Ritual of Descent, he had decided to perform it in a safe place—his home. Doing it in Antarctica or elsewhere risked drawing Entities due to the intense Fantasium Aura that would emanate from him, or other dangers.
Louis refused to risk such an important moment.
