Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

However, perhaps due to Star Swirl absorbing Chu Xiu’s Golden Core, its requirements for ”quality” of energy are very high. Energy that doesn’t match the tier of Chu Xiu’s Golden Core has very low absorption efficiency.

This elixir is a King Tier Treasure-level artifact, not bad really, but the energy absorbed is only about one-sixtieth to one-seventieth.

And this is calculated based on the potency of the elixir; it’s known that elixirs naturally contain a large amount of ineffective energy, making the utilization rate even more absurdly low.

Chu Xiu used a King Tier Perfect Recovery Item once more, and this time the energy absorption indeed improved, reaching within one-sixtieth.

Yet it’s still difficult to use for cultivation, and Chu Xiu isn’t a hoarder, so the recovery items prepared are barely adequate.

Following that, Chu Xiu conducted several experiments, discovering that Star Swirl could devour nearly any form of energy. However, apart from the High Tier Artifacts exchanged from the Blood Pool, the utilization rate was not high, showcasing its picky nature.

”Did it first devour my Golden Core and use it as a standard...?”

”But on this Desolate Star, where am I supposed to find other sources of High Tier energy...”

Chu Xiu rubbed his chin and suddenly had an idea.

”I wonder what would happen to the God corpse now that the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation is gone?”

This is the corpse of a God! It inherently stores an immense amount of energy, sure to fulfill his cultivation needs.

Besides, even if Chu Xiu can’t utilize it, he can attempt to refine it into a Corpse Refinement.

If he succeeds, he could walk with pride beneath the gods.

”And speaking of which, the trial task has only lasted a few hours so far. Not to mention the planet, I haven’t even properly explored the Star Jumping Ship; maybe there are other opportunities within?”

With this thought, Chu Xiu finally calmed down a bit.

He pondered for a while at the spot and quickly formulated a plan.

Meticulously explore the Star Jumping Ship and nearby areas, firstly to find any usable High Tier energy, and secondly to see if there’s another way to leave this place.

Right now, the status of the Awakening Space is unknown, and whether it can be used once stabilized is uncertain, so he can’t pin all his hopes on it.

But before this, there’s one thing to do, and that is to utilize the Cause and Effect Points to enhance his strength.

Currently, he has entirely lost mana, and if he encounters any danger and is therefore forced to use the Free Deep Dive Scroll the Tribulation Thunder Incarnation couldn’t utilize, he would die of frustration.

”Now any mana within me gets absorbed by Star Swirl, the only cultivation techniques available are those related to Divine Sense.”

Any Body Refining Technique requires going through the process of mana altering the flesh, but the Star Swirl in his Dantian would first absorb this mana. Conversely, Divine Soul cultivation can temporarily detach from the body. Though it expends additional Cause and Effect Points, Chu Xiu currently doesn’t mind these extra costs.

After considering for a while, Chu Xiu did not choose the already accomplished Subduing Ghosts and Slaying Souls Yama Scripture.

The reason is simple: although powerful, the latter divine techniques are either for restraining souls or for support.

After all, at its core, this cultivation technique aims to amplify the power of the Ghostly Legion, but his Ghostly Legion is now severely damaged, with both Ghost Kings reduced to solitary commanders, unable to provide substantial assistance.

Moreover, it has a strong offensive capability but focuses on attacking Divine Souls. The beings he’s encountering here, whether Tribulation Transformation Creatures or God corpses, are nearly immune to mental attacks. The latter needn’t be mentioned, and with the protection of Tribulation, the former makes Chu Xiu dare not use the Divine Soul to fight head-on.

Thinking this way, he also ruled out the inheritance from Duo Bao Demon Venerable’s lineage, which aims to form arrays using artifacts to connect Artifact Power, focusing on the ”division” of Divine Soul and managing multiple artifacts simultaneously.

He didn’t even have the artifacts required for array formation, so cultivating these methods would be useless.

”This leaves the Innate Divine Demon’s Divine Soul cultivation inheritance, pursuing detachment from the flesh, immortality, utilizing the Primordial Spirit to mobilize the Rules of Heaven and Earth at will!”

”With this art cultivated to the end, it’s akin to a full enhancement in Void God Mode, allowing for formidable physical combat power even after detachment from the flesh, perfectly fitting my current needs!”

”But I’m unsure if this cultivation technique will conflict with the Yama Scripture...”

After all, they appear to represent two entirely different cultivation paths.

Yet Chu Xiu remembered that he initially thought Great Freedom Celestial Demon God and Myriad Weapons Storage Technique would conflict, but they ended up integrating splendidly.

”Let’s try at first, if it doesn’t work, I’ll pick a few useful cultivation methods from the Inheritance Hall.”

With this thought, he hesitated no longer and projected his mind into the inheritance.
