Chapter 818: Chapter 354: Evil Sea of Mystery, Ghost Monster Pill_1

While in the Yu Heng World, Han Yi encountered evil beasts during the Qi Cultivation Stage. Those were creatures who had not yet fully gained their wisdom and couldn’t be called members of the Evil Clan.

When he advanced to higher realms, the demon cultivators he met were of all forms and varieties. He had contact with demon cultivators in places like the Evil Mountain, the Stars Sea, the Seven Beidou Region and the Qingxuan Daoist Site.

Ironically, he found himself in the Illuminating World and then in the Tianquan World. The Illuminating World was essentially the world of the Evil Clan, and half of the Tianquan world also belonged to the Evil Clan.

Therefore,

Han Yi knew quite a lot about the Evil Clan’s cultivation methods.

If one says that the Immortal Path cultivates ‘laws’ and ‘arts’, and the Ancient Gods cultivate ‘body’ and ‘strength’, then the Evil Clan cultivates simply one core – ‘bloodline’.

The cultivation of an evil being lies in a continuous metamorphosis of its bloodline. Its first hurdle, like humans, lies in foundation building.

The foundation building of humans in the Zhuheng World entails crossing three barriers and overcoming five calamities, whereas for the evil creatures of the Yu Heng World, there were none of these complicated hurdles.

When the power in their bloodlines, accumulated through days and nights, swallowing heavenly treasures or absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, broke through a certain limit at some point, it would trigger a metamorphosis that is equivalent to foundation building.

And this foundation building consolidates the power of the bloodline into one core.

It’s called: Monster Pill.

Exactly.

For human cultivators, the foundation building process only involves the expansion of the Sea of Consciousness and the Spirit Sea, a further consolidation of Mana, and laying the foundation for the Immortal Path. Only in the Golden Core Stage can a Golden Core be formed as the source of Mana.

But the cultivation of the Evil Clan is different. They consolidate their bloodline power into a Monster Pill during the foundation-building phase.

Only with a Monster Pill can they gradually shed their beastly forms and transition into Demon Cultivators.

With a Monster Pill, the demon cultivator can gain access to the heritage that has been ingrained in its bloodline and passed down through the endless ages. Once awakened, it is known as:

Supernatural Power.

Of course, there also exist high-level evil beasts that can awaken supernatural powers before forming a monster pill. Such beasts are rare exceptions.

The giant lion evil beast that Han Yi encountered in Evil Mountain was one such exception. Despite being a ninth-stage evil beast and not having condensed its Monster Pill to become a demon cultivator, it had prematurely awakened the supernatural power ‘Eyes of Confinement’.

Strictly speaking,

Only after building their foundation can evil beasts be considered members of the Evil Clan.

Before their foundation is built, the concept of an upper, middle, and lower Dantian does not exist for evil beasts. At the time of their foundation building, while forming the Monster Pill, they also carve out a new pocket of mystery in their bodies that connects to their meridians to house the Monster Pill.

This new mysterious space is called the Dan Sea.

When they break through to the Golden Core Stage, the Evil Clan undergoes a further metamorphosis and can remove all features of their beastly appearance. If they have practiced a method to conceal their demonic aura, then they would appear no different from normal human cultivators.

By the time they break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, the Evil Spirit and Monster Pill merge to become a Nascent Soul, and the Spirit Sea and Dan Sea merge to become an inner space within their bodies, similar to human cultivators.

After that, the cultivation methods for Spirit Transformation and Half-immortality are more or less the same.

The biggest difference lies in the Immortal Road.

An Evil Clan’s Immortal Road is determined by the heritage in its bloodline, and the information for this Immortal heritage would be fully comprehended at the earliest during the Nascent Soul Stage.

Therefore, demon cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage are also known as Evil Saints. Having ascended to enlightenment, they know the direction of their future Immortal Road.

However,

Generally, only demon cultivators with powerful bloodlines would comprehend their Immortal Road during the Nascent Soul Stage. Normally, demon cultivators would only start walking the Immortal Road once they reach the Spirit Transformation Level.

This is completely different from how human cultivators make their choice of the Immortal Road.

After visualizing the cultivation path of the Evil Clan in his mind, Han Yi took out a Jade Butterfly that he had exchanged in the Supreme Virtue Immortal Palace. Contained within the Jade Butterfly was an ancient demon cultivation method – the Ghost True Body.

As he poured his Mana into the Jade Butterfly, streams of information flowed into his mind.

A moment later,

Han Yi put down the Jade Butterfly, a flash of understanding passing through his mind followed by a wave of contemplation.

This technique was not only incredibly difficult, but also incredibly profound.

It was a human cultivation technique, but it was practiced in the manner of the Evil Clan.

Those human cultivators who practiced this technique needed to complete four steps in advance.

The first step.

As per the special instructions in the technique, a new mysterious space called the Evil Sea needed to be carved out within the body.

Han Yi guessed that this Evil Sea had properties similar to the Sea of Consciousness and Spirit Sea encountered in human cultivation.

The second step.

The Ghost Core and Demon Peng blood essence needed to be refined and integrated in a special proportion and method, using pill refining to merge them into one.

The third step.

To cut off a piece of the Divine Soul, the strength of the severed Divine Soul needed to correspond to the fused Ghost Core and blood essence, for example, if the fused Ghost Core and blood essence were equivalent to the mid-stage Nascent Soul, then the severed Divine Soul should not be too strong or too weak and should be at an equivalent level.

The fourth step.

The fused Ghost Core and blood essence had to be encased in the severed Divine Soul and inserted into the newly opened Evil Sea. Then, the severed Divine soul had to be used to seal the Evil Sea from the inside using a special method.

Correct.

These were the four steps that needed to be completed before the cultivation of this ancient demon technique could begin.

Following these steps would be a waiting period of eighty one days, which is just shy of three months.

After these eighty-one days,

There would be two outcomes. One possibility was that the sealed Evil Sea would shrink tremendously in size at high speed before finally collapsing and becoming void. This would signify a failure in the cultivation.

The second possibility.

The Evil Sea would open itself from the inside out, and a Monster Pill would appear within the Evil Sea.
