The jade slip not only contained all the cultivation methods of the Wuji Demonic Art, but also many materials used for cultivation. Just by looking at the preciousness of those materials, Brian Carter could imagine the former strength of the Wuji Demonic Sect—it seemed they had seized them by force.

Brian Carter began to feel fortunate for his own luck and also decided to restore the former glory of the Wuji Demonic Sect. Brian Carter did not feel there was anything wrong with the sect’s actions back then; after all, cultivation is about defying the heavens.

Since even the heavens are no longer to be feared, why not kill other cultivators to improve oneself? Since one is cultivating, one should be prepared for the survival of the fittest. He just felt that the Wuji Demonic Sect’s methods at the time were too reckless; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been wiped out!

The jade slip not only contained the complete set of cultivation techniques of the Wuji Demonic Sect in the cultivation world, but even included cultivation methods for after ascending to the Demon Realm. What an extraordinary person the creator of this peerless technique must have been!

In addition to the most basic cultivation formulas of the Wuji Demonic Art, there were also various auxiliary attack and defense techniques, including formations and talismanic arts—it was simply a complete compendium of demonic cultivation!

It made Brian Carter feel that a broad and sturdy path of cultivation lay ahead of him; as long as he worked hard, anything was possible!

However, what made Brian Carter feel awkward was that there were very few attack techniques suitable for him to use at his current stage. Having just reached the middle stage of the Embryonic Breath phase, he wasn’t even considered to have truly entered the cultivation world yet. Only upon reaching the Fasting phase would he be considered a true cultivator, and the previous three stages were merely the foundation for entering the cultivation world. Many powerful techniques were completely beyond his current level and strength to perform!

All he could use were some techniques with little real power! It seemed he needed to hurry up—right now, Brian Carter was like someone who had found a huge treasure, only to realize he didn’t have a storage ring to carry it all, and could only take a few pieces in his hands.

Strength! It seems that nothing can be done without it!

Knowing his own shortcomings, he naturally had to do his best to make up for them. Cultivation—endless cultivation—right here in this secret cave by the deep pool, Brian Carter devoted himself fully to training.

After nearly five days without the Eight-Winged Purple Python’s inner core acting up again, Brian Carter was certain that the true power of the Eight-Winged Purple Python’s inner core had been completely absorbed by him, and the core itself had thoroughly disappeared from his body.

With the jade slip’s detailed introduction to the Wuji Demonic Art, Brian Carter now had a brand new understanding of it. Precisely because of the powerful devouring feature of the Wuji Demonic Art, it also placed astonishing demands on the cultivator’s body—this was what set it apart from all other techniques.

Other cultivators’ techniques did not require special physical training, focusing instead on cultivating the five spirits. But because of the devouring effect of the Wuji Demonic Art—absorbing others’ true power for one’s own use—this absorption and transformation ability placed a huge burden on the body. If the body wasn’t strong enough, before you could finish absorbing someone else’s true essence, you would explode and die. Therefore, in the early stages of the Wuji Demonic Art, not only are the five spirits cultivated, but the five organs and the body itself are trained together. In fact, in the early stages, body refinement is even more important than spirit refinement.

It is precisely because of the Wuji Demonic Art’s astonishing devouring function that it inevitably has its flaws. First, the Wuji Demonic Art cannot convert all of another’s true essence for one’s own use—after all, it’s not something you painstakingly cultivated yourself. During the devouring process, the Wuji Demonic Art, through the cultivator’s powerful physical functions and its own mysterious properties, first refines the other’s true essence, extracting the purest part. Since everyone’s cultivation methods are different, it must be completely transformed into true essence identical to one’s own before it can be fully absorbed; otherwise, one would be playing with fire and get burned!

After this process, what you can obtain is only about one-tenth of the other’s total true essence, but this one-tenth is all essence, and there’s no need to worry about backlash or going astray.

This flaw aside, others won’t just stand there and let you devour them, so if the gap in cultivation level is too great, the chance to use the Wuji Demonic Art’s devouring ability is very small. Even if you succeed in devouring a cultivator of a higher level, even that one-tenth may not be something your body can withstand, so you must digest it quickly. The speed of digestion also varies depending on the strength of your body and your cultivation level.

Therefore, this period of digestion is also a deadly weakness—unless the other person is completely subdued, you are in great danger during the devouring process!

If someone cultivates the Wuji Demonic Art and reaches the next stage without the correct cultivation method, they will explode and die. Only after passing the heavenly tribulation does this threat disappear. This is also why, despite the Wuji Demonic Sect’s former strength, there were never any traitors.

Even if others obtained this technique, if it was incomplete, no one would dare to practice it rashly. And now, the cultivation methods of the Wuji Demonic Sect’s members are completely wrong—even the most basic devouring ability hasn’t appeared, so naturally, there’s no such problem.

Even with some flaws, it still cannot be denied that the Wuji Demonic Art is a peerless demonic technique. These shortcomings made Brian Carter realize the importance of physical strength—if the body’s functions are strong and tough enough, the speed of devouring will surely increase, the ability to withstand true essence will be stronger, and the danger to oneself will naturally be less.

Therefore, the foundation is extremely important. Brian Carter’s emphasis on the basics was beyond what ordinary people could understand, because he deeply knew the huge impact a solid foundation would have on his future development. He would rather give up rapid progress in the early stages in order to lay a firm and solid foundation.
