Once he finished thoroughly checking the logs, Arthur passed the rest of the day meditating and absorbing as much Nether Energy as he could.
From time to time, he could feel slight tremors despite being so deep underground. The only plausible explanation is that the Gods residing in the Pigolo Tribe headquarters finally decided to show themselves and started their full-on retaliation to drive out the invaders.
Arthur paid them no heed as he concentrated on cultivating. His body was like a gigantic black whirlpool as Nether Energy was devoured and entered his body as if it was a bottomless hole.
As they passed by his Meridians, the Nether Energy transformed into a big formless blob of energy which entered into his DanTian and was refined at an insane pace. The black talisman floating around his DanTian would emit a strange black light, accelerating the refining process and facilitating the process.
