CHAPTER 636: REFRESHING FEELING

The energy inside both Aurelia and Reiss began to purify their meridians slowly. While doing so, it also started to flow forward through their bodies. Aldrian could sense that Aurelia and Reiss felt uncomfortable, as they slightly frowned, but he had already predicted this and continued observing.

Because their meridians had been adjusted to the flow of devil energy for their entire lives, this was the first time they were being cleansed of that very energy. They felt slight pain throughout their bodies, but they would have to endure it.

After more than a minute, Aldrian saw black liquid with a pungent smell seeping from Aurelia and Reiss’s skin, staining their robes. He smiled, this was a sign that their bodies were truly cleansing themselves through his cultivation technique. The black liquid was the excessive filth that had accumulated inside their bodies from cultivating dense negative energy all this time.

Normally, cultivation helps cleanse each cultivator’s body of internal impurities. However, in the case of devil cultivation techniques, residue is always left behind due to the nature of negative energy.

With their bodies cleansed of this residue, Aurelia and Reiss would feel much more comfortable moving forward. They continued cultivating for the next two hours until the energy finally began to enter the dantian.

In their case, the dantian referred to their beast cores.

This marked the next crucial step.

Now that their meridians had adjusted to the normal heaven and earth energy, the next phase began, the dantian.

Earlier, Aurelia and Reiss had already touched their dantians with energy to purify the outer layer. According to the cultivation technique they had received, this process was meant to weaken the dantian’s resistance to heaven and earth energy.

When they finally managed to guide the flow of energy into their dantian—

They trembled slightly, their expressions tightening into deeper frowns. This had to be the most uncomfortable sensation they had felt in a long time. The piercing pain in their dantians was not something they could hide.

Aldrian kept his focus on their dantians, hoping they would pass through this critical phase as he had envisioned.

An hour passed. They continued cultivating without pause, and the black liquid kept seeping from their bodies. Their dantians were being steadily purified by the heaven and earth energy.

Two hours, three hours...

Their expressions gradually eased as time went on. Seeing this development, Aldrian truly wanted to shout that he succeeded! But he remained silent, continuing to observe them as they cultivated.

After another hour, he finally pulled back his palms and smiled in victory. Once he confirmed there were no issues with their cultivation, he could confidently say the test was a success. If it worked in their human forms, then he was certain it would also succeed in their beast forms.

"Alright, stop," Aldrian said.

Even though they were deep in cultivation and fully focused, Aurelia and Reiss still heard him. They stopped circulating their energy, and when they opened their eyes, they were stunned to see their bodies stained with black liquid. They immediately recognized it as the excess filth that had built up inside them.

They could feel the changes inside their bodies, and it left them truly shocked. They felt fresher, more comfortable, as if a gentle breeze were flowing through them, something they had never felt before. It was as if they had awakened in entirely different bodies.

They looked at Aldrian with trembling eyes.

"Master... you’ve succeeded," Aurelia said, her voice shaking.

As she had expected, her master had done it.

They wanted to kowtow to him, but Aldrian stopped them.

"Wait. It’s not over yet. We still have one more test, your beast form. Now, transform and do the same."

Aurelia and Reiss nodded and immediately transformed into their beast forms. Their enormous bodies blocked out the sunlight, casting a shadow over Aldrian, but they wasted no time and began cultivating again.

They circulated their energy while Aldrian placed his hands on them to observe the flow.

Once again, his prediction was correct, the energy moved smoothly through their massive bodies. When it reached their beast cores, there were no issues. Thanks to their earlier cultivation, both their meridians and beast cores had already adjusted to the heaven and earth energy, making this round of cultivation much easier and smoother.

After another hour, Aurelia and Reiss finally stopped. They opened their eyes and looked down at the small figure of Aldrian, their expressions filled with emotion and joy.

They could feel it clearly, there was nothing wrong with the cultivation technique. Their master had truly succeeded in creating his own method. And this technique would revolutionize the cultivation world by overturning the very knowledge of how cultivation techniques worked. Specifically, the knowledge that one could not change the cultivation techniques without destroying their foundation.

The two beasts transformed back into their human forms, robes formed from their energy instantly covering them as they prostrated before Aldrian.

"Congratulations, Master. You’ve succeeded! Your name will be engraved in the history of the cultivation world!"

"Congratulations, Master! You’ve created something that will leave your name in the annals of cultivation history!" Aurelia and Reiss said in unison.

Aldrian nodded with a smile.

"Well, thankfully it worked just as I predicted. The two of you also contributed to opening the path for this cultivation method, so your names will be recorded in history as well," he said.

"This is our greatest honor, to be part of this historic moment," Aurelia said with pride.

Aurelia and Reiss then straightened their bodies.

"Now that I know the cultivation method has no problems, you can use it from now on. Abandon your devil side once and for all, starting today," Aldrian said.

The two beasts nodded. Eagerly, they resumed their cultivation. The refreshing feeling was truly addicting, and they wanted to keep experiencing it, more and more. Even after only a few hours of using this method, they could already feel its effects. They had no intention of wasting any more time.

Aldrian continued to observe them as they cultivated for another hour. Once he was fully confident there were no issues, he quietly left them. He concluded that the test had succeeded, and now, he could begin spreading the technique to the other beasts in the Beast Territory.

Without waiting any longer, he teleported near Vireline’s main body, the World Tree, and was immediately greeted by her. She was already aware of the empire creation plan, as Emperor Ladwin had come to inform her directly before the leaders visited Aldrian.

Naturally, she would follow any decision Aldrian made. If he agreed to the plan, she would support it as well.

Not long after, he began spreading his cultivation technique to the beasts, starting with those at the emperor stage, since they were capable of transforming into human form.

He had to pass the technique to them directly through touch, transmitting the information into their memories.

However, he could only transfer it to two individuals at a time, which consumed a great deal of time, especially with hundreds of emperor-stage beasts to reach.

This made him realize he needed to create a method that would allow him to transmit information into the memories of many individuals at once.

Those who had already received the cultivation technique immediately began to practice it. Just like Aurelia and Reiss, these beasts could feel the changes within their bodies. They were truly shocked, none of them had imagined something like this was even possible, yet Aldrian had achieved the impossible.

By the time Aldrian finished transmitting the technique to all the emperor-stage beasts, it was already past noon. He remained there, observing them until the sun was just an inch above the horizon. From what he saw, there were no issues with their cultivation, and he could safely leave them for now.

As for the rest who had not yet received the technique, they couldn’t help but feel envious after seeing its effects firsthand.

However, they understood that Aldrian had his own business and couldn’t stay there all night just to distribute his cultivation technique, especially since tomorrow was a special day for his family.

Those who had already received the technique didn’t dare to pass it on to others without Aldrian’s supervision either. They were afraid something might go wrong if they shared it on their own.

For those who had yet to receive it, they could only wait until Aldrian returned. But Aldrian reassured them not to worry, he would make sure every one of them received the cultivation technique as soon as possible.

After confirming there were no issues with the technique, he disappeared and returned to his palace. Tomorrow was a special day for his family, and tonight, he simply wanted to stay home and enjoy his time with Sylphia.

He was truly looking forward to tomorrow’s event.

-----------------------------

The next day, the entire continent was filled with a festive atmosphere. Today was one of the most anticipated days, celebrated and awaited by many.

A day when two people in love would take their oath as husband and wife, pledging to support and love each other for the rest of their lives.

This was the wedding day of Aldrey and Irene.
