Chapter 277 Parting
During the formation of the Corpse Core, the corpse poison will erase the soul's memories and emotions, using them as nourishment to strengthen itself.
The external corpse poison can also mask the true nature of the soul within the Corpse Core.
However, this process causes some souls to become too weak to endure the erasure of their memories and emotions, resulting in their direct extinction.
These individuals do not produce a Corpse Core and are left as mere walking corpses.
Once the process is complete, practitioners of the Corpse Pill Method absorb the corpse Chi from these walking corpses for their cultivation.
After the corpse Chi is absorbed, the Corpse Core is removed and handed over to their sect as a contribution or used as currency for transactions.
Only those who understand the Spiritual Pill Method can remove the corpse poison from the Corpse Core and extract the soul power within for their cultivation.
Reading this, Elijah understood that the so-called Corpse Chi Condensation Method was intentionally spread by practitioners of the Spiritual Pill Method to find others to help them gather soul power.
Furthermore, the Corpse Pills formed from the dead can be used by practitioners of the Spiritual Pill Method as external pills or counterfeit pills!
It's clear that these methods exploit individuals to the utmost, whether they are those from whom corpse Chi is harvested or those who practice the Corpse Pill Method.
Of course, this approach is not without risks. Despite the erasure, the soul still carries indelible marks.
However, the risks are minimized, and with regular use of mind-clearing and soul-calming pills, one can essentially ensure safety.
Upon absorbing this knowledge, Elijah breathed a long sigh of relief. Yet, inside, he could hardly contain his excitement!
The Spiritual Pill Method described in this manual seemed tailor-made for him.
With billions of zombies available worldwide, using the Spiritual Pill Method to achieve the Golden Core stage is more than sufficient.
Even breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is not out of the question!
Moreover, although this technique requires soul Chi, it is not as stringent as other methods.
As long as there is a continuous supply of soul power, Elijah can maintain his cultivation even in environments lacking soul Chi.
Furthermore, while cultivating Spiritual Pills, any excess corpse Chi can be used to refine Corpse Pills as external pills.
However, the world lacks rare treasures and mind-clearing pills, which poses some risk. Nonetheless, this risk is worth taking!
After pondering for a moment, Elijah immersed himself in studying the jade slip once more.
In addition to the Demon Evil Art and the insights of the demonic cultivator, the jade slip contained several other secret techniques and tricks that required further study.
Over the course of the next half month, Elijah devoted himself to researching the Demon Evil Art from the jade slip while gradually adjusting his internal cultivation method, transitioning from the Hun Yuan Technique to the Demon Evil Art.
This transition could not be done overnight and required a slow process. Elijah was not in a hurry.
While Elijah focused on his practice, the others were also busy with their own tasks.
Stay connected through empire
In the demonic cultivator's ring, besides the jade slip recording the Demon Evil Art, there were also other techniques related to talismans, weapon forging, pill refining, and even some cultivation methods that appeared to belong to reputable sects.
Elijah handed all these jade slips to Charlotte, asking her to study and record them. With the help of the other women, they transcribed them into books.
Although the women still didn't know whether Elijah would leave, seeing him leave behind such obvious cultivation methods and knowledge from the cultivation world led them to believe it might be for their benefit.
This created a particularly melancholic atmosphere among them.
Until the day of departure arrived.
With less than ten days remaining before the one-month deadline, the women displayed unprecedented enthusiasm, which made Elijah both happy and troubled.
But all gatherings eventually end. As the agreed date approached, Elijah finally set sail with Charlotte again.
This time, Daisy did not come along; she disliked such farewells. Apart from her, the rest of the original team remained.
Having had one experience, this time they smoothly arrived at the outer sea of "Serenity Peak."
Compared to last time, the continent appeared much smaller, just as the old man had said. The realms were already beginning to separate, and the descent was nearing its end.
Since they arrived a few days earlier, the old man had not yet arrived. Elijah, Charlotte, and Sophia waited on the yacht.
"Have you made up your mind?" Charlotte asked Elijah, sensing the imminent separation.
"There is still one question I need to ask the old man before I can make my final decision," Elijah replied.
"What question?"
Charlotte looked at the continent in the distance. Over the past few days, she had observed it shrinking visibly.
"I've been researching our myths and legends during this time. Although I don't know the exact end time of the previous realm descent, it is clear that after a certain period, celestial beings appeared less and less in the world. However, there are still a few enlightened ones who shattered the void and ascended to immortality!
After the descent ends, is it still possible to shatter the void and reach another realm with human effort?"
"Indeed!"
Charlotte did not answer directly; instead, a voice full of ancient charm replied.
"Senior!" Seeing the old man suddenly appear before them, Elijah and the others quickly bowed and greeted him.
"This past month, I've traveled through your realm. Besides collecting some interesting artifacts, I also found some relics from your world. I can now confirm that several thousand years ago, a long-lasting realm descent indeed occurred in your world! As for your question, it is true that after the realm descent ends, one can shatter the void and travel to another realm!"
Elijah was delighted upon hearing this.
"May I ask, senior, how can one shatter the void and travel to another realm?"
"The barriers of each world are different. In my world, one would need to be at least a Divine Transformation expert to shatter the void. As for your world…"
The old man pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a crimson long sword in his hand.
