What if you ascend to the wrong world?

Lorne ultimately did not choose to turn back, but continued forward.

Soon, without his prompting, the "Ultimate Secret Sword Chapter" began to operate on its own.

The magic flowing through the void came from all directions and continuously poured into his body.

It operates in a mysterious and enigmatic way, eventually transforming into strands of peculiar power that are completely different from magic and divine power.

Under the influence of this force, each drop of blood became increasingly crystalline, as heavy as mercury.

But Lorne only felt increasingly relaxed all over.

And so, when I got back to my lodgings...

"Cough cough!"

With a cough, he expelled a foul, grayish-black stream of air, carrying an indescribable stench.

He was freed from all filth and miasma, achieved enlightenment, and lived to be 120 years old!

……

……

"This progress... is a bit too fast."

"What do you say?"

Irene Vitte's mansion.

It's still the study.

Ivy was a little confused as she installed the new communicator on Irene Vit.

I wasn't talking about you.

Ye Tu looked out the window and gazed at the sky.

Such obvious traces of magical flow.

In other words, Lorne, who has achieved a partial 'innate Dao body', already possesses some characteristics that are 'not included in the calculation'.

Otherwise, they would have been arrested and taken back long ago.

However, this level of shielding can only fool Saint-level professionals at best; beings at the demigod level and above will definitely be able to detect it.

So, let's see what the Lord of Dawn does next.

emm...

However, on the other hand, in orthodox immortal cultivation, the Qi Refining stage involves guiding spiritual energy into the Dao and refining spiritual energy into spiritual power.

But this "Secret Sword Chapter of the Ultimate Path" is about refining demonic power to enter the Dao, so what should this power be called?

Demonic energy?

Chapter 31 First Trial of Cultivation

Names flashed through Ye Tu's mind, but no matter how he addressed them, none of them seemed quite right.

Rather than...

Let everyone in this world decide for themselves once they have come into contact with the cultivation methods.

Ivia was still puzzled.

"You're not talking about me..." She glanced at the person opposite her, "You mean her?"

There are only three people here, so if it's not her, it can only be this guy.

“It’s not her either.” Ye Tu turned to look at Ivia.

Who else could it be!

Just as Ivia was filled with confusion, Irene Vitte seemed to suddenly realize something:

"Was that the 'bait' you set?"

"Ah."

"When you say he's progressing too quickly, are you referring to 'spiritual cultivation'?"

Ye Tu explained the whole story to her last night, so she was aware of what Lorne had gone through.

"good."

"Is it faster than mine?" Irene Vitte pressed.

“It is much faster,” Ye Tu did not deny it, “but that comes at a price, which you don’t need to learn.”

It sounds incredible that one could be cleansed of all impurities and achieve enlightenment in less than half an hour.

But all of this is the result of the "Secret Sword Chapter of the Ultimate Path" operating spontaneously and constantly propelling Lorne forward.

If this continues, the balance between body and mind will be broken sooner or later. At that time, even if there is no change in appearance, the heart will no longer be 'oneself'.

At that time, will it be Lorne who learns the "Ultimate Secret Sword Chapter"?

Or will the "Secret Sword of the Ultimate Path" turn the tables and control Lorne?

"Moreover, the power he obtained in that way makes it more difficult for him to even reach the 'Sacred Realm' than for ordinary people, let alone anything above the Sacred Realm."

Ultimately, it is merely a special existence born from the fusion of the corrupted immortal path and the power of ancient gods.

The upper limit...

That's all there is to it.

Upon hearing this, Irene Wett, who had wanted to ask something else, instantly lost her interest.

Sanctuary.

The goal she seeks is far from enough if it is merely the 'Sanctuary'.

After all, as the wielder of the divine artifact [Frost Feather] and the strongest hero of the current generation, her combat power surpasses that of the Holy Domain.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you two talking about?!" Ivia couldn't help but interrupt.

It's all about 'bait' and 'price', and they even mentioned 'sacred realm'.

What is all this nonsense?!

Can someone please explain this?

She felt like a complete idiot who couldn't understand anything.

"This one……"

"and many more!"

Ivia interrupted Ye Tu in time.

"You're not going to say again that this isn't something I should know right now, are you?"

"Not bad," Ye Tu laughed. "You've even learned to answer first."

? _?

She hates that sentence!

"Alright, stop being so gloomy. I'll teach you something good tomorrow."

(⊙o⊙)

"What good stuff?"

"Let's keep it a secret for now, you'll find out tomorrow."

After these days of refinement, the initial version of the cultivation method, which aligns with the rules of the local world, has been completed.

It has a high degree of universality; any monk can practice it.

It's time to spread it through Ivy and her teacher Daphne.

……

……

noon.

The living quarters of the Holy Light Warriors.

The dormitory room that belonged to Lorne.

The door was tightly closed, and the curtains were drawn on the windows.

But the room was not as dark and gloomy as expected.

On a magic circle made of deer blood, thirteen pure white candles stood at each node, their tiny flames swaying gently.

Lorne sat upright in the center of the magic circle, assuming the posture of five hearts facing the sky.

Mysterious, eerie...

It looked like some kind of evil ritual was being performed.

Where the candlelight shone, various colored points of light were constantly separating from the surrounding void, condensing into thin, colorful filaments of light.

It seemed to be alive, constantly swirling and hovering around it.

Fiery, cold, light, heavy...

Each color contains a completely different power.

Moreover, as those colorful light threads continued to flow into his mouth, nose, and every pore of his body, his vital energy began to rise at a visible speed.

However, at the same time, the candles located at each node of the magic circle are burning faster and faster.

at last!

It's like crossing a certain boundary.

puff!

The candlelight suddenly expanded, as if thirteen small fireballs had suddenly exploded, illuminating every corner of the room!

Soon, the fire went out.

"Whoo~"

Lorne slowly opened his eyes and let out a soft breath.

Look around.

The ritual texts and esoteric writings drawn with deer blood have disappeared, leaving only some charred marks at the nodes where the thirteen candles were placed.

Nine is the ultimate, twelve is perfection, thirteen...

It is that transcendent and perfect 'One'.

Staring at the thirteen charred marks on the ground, Lorne kept recalling the "Ultimate Secret Sword Chapter".

This magic array is called the [Demon Gathering Array].

As the name suggests, it is a magic array that can gather free-floating magical energy in the void, thereby accelerating cultivation.

The more precious the blood and light source used to set up the magic circle, the better the effect of the magic circle.

The most advanced [Magic Gathering Array] can even drain all the magic power in an area and prevent the influx of external magic power, thus creating a special environment free of magic.

"This is really strange," Lorne murmured softly.

He could feel a strange power flowing through his body.

Unlike the 'holy power' he felt when he first became a Holy Radiance Warrior, this power was cold, dark, and had a characteristic that could stir up desires in people's hearts.

More importantly, this power is not bound to the identity of the Holy Warrior like the 'Holy Power', but belongs entirely to him and has nothing to do with any identity!

completely……

The power that belongs to oneself.

A hint of infatuation flashed in Lorne's eyes.

But just then, a very faint sound of footsteps came from outside the door, making Lorne's heart tighten.

His gaze also became sharp.
