Chapter 385: 352 utilization four

The image was transmitted in the form of images, and soon, after a few minutes, a several-hundred-page dictionary had been completely transferred.

"Brother, studying is studying, but please remember, for any system, any knowledge, you must first determine the specific goal you want.

The mysteries of knowledge, the wonderful mystique, is itself a strong temptation. It is a form of desire, and if you don’t control it, you will fall into addiction and thus go in the wrong direction," Yserine cautioned.

"I understand, thank you, Yserine," Li Chengyi sincerely expressed his gratitude. "When I get back, I’ll apply the best skincare cream all over your body."

"..." Yserine did not respond.

It was hard to tell if it was due to shyness or something else. As her body slowly grew, she seemed to have a different personality than before.

Li Chengyi, however, didn’t feel it and still treated her as the little girl she used to be.

Having received all the dictionaries, he quickly began to consult the ash-covered book in his hand.

"Speaking of which, if there are no monsters in the blind spot, it’s actually very quiet... very suitable for studying... and the flow of time is different too, an hour here might just be a minute outside, or even shorter," he thought as he read the book.

"If I could truly create a safe zone of my own using the blind spot... allowing all the doomed blind spot individuals to enter the safe zone when they can’t escape, to extend their lives. Occasionally communicating with the outside world through the blind spot individuals that come and go..."

He dismissed the thought.

He focused on translating the book in his hand.

Basic Analysis of Necro-energy

This was the full name of the ash-covered booklet given to him by the Skeleton Mage. The author was unknown.

Opening the first page, there was the emblem of the Serpent Tree.

The second page depicted a hexagonal pool design.

Around the pool were several black lines pointing towards various textual markings.

Below was a paragraph of explanation.

"Necro-energy, upon its discovery, immediately showcased an unparalleled isolative nature."

"The church’s fathers referred to it as inert energy."

"In the absence of the remains of the undead that it can attach to, necro-energy will instinctively coalesce, increasing its density and gradually entering a state of high invisibility. Eventually, it will merge into the Black Sea."

"We cannot observe how necro-energy appears, how it comes into being, just as we cannot find an answer to the question of how we ourselves appeared."

"But the extremely low reactivity and isolative nature of necro-energy allow us to use it to create some unique experimental devices that were previously impossible, such as the Elemental Pool."

Li Chengyi glanced down, translating a smaller line of text below: Necro-energy Application Addendum.

He continued to the next page.

Below was a pattern he was quite familiar with.

A bone angel.

Around it were numerous annotations.

At the bottom was marked: High-level Necro-angel Crafting Diagram.

"Tsk tsk... indeed... those two types of angels were actually created by these guys..." Li Chengyi admired inwardly.

It must be said, this necro-energy civilization was truly formidable. Unfortunately, such a powerful civilization disappeared into the vast Black Sea, becoming one of the abandoned blind spots.

One can only imagine how terrifying the danger they faced truly was.

He kept flipping through the pages.

Because he had to check each page against the dictionary, despite his robust physique and astonishing bloodline, it still took him several minutes to translate a single page.

Time flew by quickly.

To prevent himself from forgetting, Li Chengyi took to engraving the contents of the dictionary on an empty part of the wall and then meticulously translating his ash-covered book.

On the mechanical clock, more than ten hours had passed without notice.

He had roughly translated the detailed method of studying necro-energy.

The church of this blind spot had, based on necro-energy, summarized an element decay table.

Energy elements would disperse and decay over time, merging into the surrounding environment, thus achieving balance.

The ultra-slow decay of necro-energy, taking millions of years to diminish even slightly, made it the absolute zero at the bottom of this element decay table.

Based on necro-energy, the church above had summarized a multitude of dense, various elemental substances.

From the bottom up, the decay rate would increase at a faster pace.

Since the names of these elemental substances meant little, being merely phonetic, Li Chengyi decided to number them according to their sequence, not bothering to memorize their names.

"Isn’t this just a periodic table?" Li Chengyi instantly associated it with the knowledge he had learned, just a Black Sea version.

Aside from the decay table, the ash-covered booklet also recorded a technique called the Silent Meditation Technique.

It was specifically a basic method for beginning to harness necro-energy.

The method was simple.

Allow part of one’s flesh and limbs to completely die, becoming a carcass.

In the presence of necro-energy, let one’s flesh slowly die off to attract necro-energy into the body, then repeatedly sense it to gain mastery eventually.

The more necro-energy stored in one’s body, the easier it is to master it.

At this point, Li Chengyi suddenly thought of Yserine’s words.

All power comes at a price.

And the price of mastering necro-energy is the permanent loss of part of one’s flesh and limbs.

"With this setup, those who master necro-energy must mutilate themselves. Those with good aptitude mutilate less, those with poor aptitude, more," Li Chengyi sighed inwardly.

He had now mastered a multitude of Flower Language Techniques, and his power had begun to become chaotic.

Various abilities, various Floral Dresses, as well as bloodlines and techniques. The Yinglong Sword, Martial Art Dragon Realm, and so on.

After finishing this booklet, he felt inspired, and a notion faintly emerged in his mind.

"They use necro-energy to create exaggerated weapons like the Necro-angel. What about me?"

"The foundation of all Flower Language Power is the flowers’ essence. If I want to forge a path that is uniquely my own, I cannot rely on the flowers’ essence as the main component; it can only play a supporting role. Hence, the Holy Spirit Technique and the Shadow Dragon Bloodline, which both stem from the flowers’ essence, cannot be the main focus either. They can only assist."

"This means that I am left with the option of the flesh-evolving path of the Dragon Realm and this entirely new system of necro-energy that I just discovered."

"This way, even if the Evil Flower disappears, I could still possess a formidable power that belongs only to me. And it would also be a power that I could use in the Blind Spot."

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi suddenly felt that his previous concerns had been swept away in this moment.

Having set his focus on flesh evolution, he looked at necro-energy and the Floral Language Techniques of the Evil Flower again.

Instantly, he had a different feeling.

He picked up other books he had found and started translating again.

The other three books were titled "Wraith Observation Record," "Underworld Conjecture," and "A Brief Introduction to the Black Sea."

Among these books, Li Chengyi immediately started with translating "A Brief Introduction to the Black Sea."

After translating just a small section, he confirmed he had stumbled upon treasure.

Feeling elated, he found himself unexpectedly engrossed in this process of focused research and learning.

The introductory section of "A Brief Introduction to the Black Sea" mentioned the characteristic of imprints.

The first sentence struck a chord with Li Chengyi.

"Any Black Sea creature, once its intrinsic nature becomes powerful enough, will inevitably exhibit a characteristic.

Characteristics exist in the form of imprints within their bodies. Observations have found that the initial first characteristic of some Black Sea creatures should be Shadow Flicker, not the total resistance that was discovered earlier.

This is a special ability that naturally occurs in Black Sea creatures when they reach the first stage of their imprints. They can short-distance jump to any location with shadows. The cooldown period is determined by their constitution."

"Isn’t this... Shadow Flash!?"

Li Chengyi was taken aback.

This was the second time he’d seen this phrase. The information given to him by Xindela also mentioned this imprint.

However, the information from Xindela did not mention Shadow Flash, but rather total resistance, Quick Regeneration, and rejection as the three characteristics.

With that in mind, Li Chengyi continued to read.

The next paragraph caused him to truly change his expression.

"All things are born and die, and the day the world falls is drawing nearer. Every energy source also has its birth and death. Archbishop Siver sacrificed himself, and before complete obliteration, finally discovered the imprint of Balance, and the method of transferring it to himself."

"The Secret Hall Aushus immediately followed, at the cost of his life, found the method of obtaining the second kind of imprint—total resistance."

"We saw hope, but the Black Sea is boundless, and everything is too late."

"Everything has an imprint, and the imprint represents your position among the cosmic entities.

The universe is dispersing, while we must converge. Only the balance between these two forces will keep us from falling into the Black Sea."

"From this perspective, the characteristic of imprints might not be unique to the Black Sea but rather the last flicker of life for the universe."

"We have now discovered six types of imprints, but that doesn’t mean there are only six. If anyone comes across this book, I hope they can build upon this basis, pointing out more paths for those who come after."

As he closed the last page,

Li Chengyi had an overall understanding of all that he possessed.

"No matter how many Flower Language Powers or techniques I master, they can actually all be categorized into the system of imprint characteristics."

Various Flower Language Techniques, Seven Spirit Holy Technique, Shadow Dragon Bloodline—no matter how flashy these things are, if they haven’t reached the level of imprints, they just haven’t.

Add on as much as you want after that, but perhaps it won’t take you to a higher position.

Before, he didn’t have a direction, but now, in this special Blind Spot, he had unexpectedly found a unique system from a world that had been destroyed.

And with it, he could confirm the direction he would move forward in the future.

Seeking imprint characteristics, obtaining them, enhancing them.

He thought of the Seven Spirit Holy Technique; it seemed to be the same, as it progressed, naturally granting traits similar to imprints, such as the Faceless Scholar’s second-attack immunity and the undying trait. Both are like this.

The Shadow Flash trait of the Shadow Dragon Bloodline seemed the same. Gaining a stronger flesh and body to resist various attacks, this seems to be the direction of absolute resistance.

Martial arts also went in the direction of absolute resistance.

As for the Flower Language, no pattern can be seen yet. It could include types of imprint characteristics or other things, which need further observation.

Looking at it this way, it seems all of his abilities could be included in this system.

The system of imprint characteristics.

Closing the book, Li Chengyi took a deep breath, stood up, turned around, and looked toward the stairway leading up.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to continue reading, but... there was no time left.

Click...

At the staircase on the second floor, a new, complete Balance Angel slowly materialized.

It seemed to appear out of nowhere, from transparent to solid, without needing any material to congeal—it simply popped up, sitting on the staircase, maintaining the same posture as when they first met.

"Since it’s been reformed, let’s do it again," he decided.

Li Chengyi manifested the Gladiolus Ultimate Floral Dress upon his body.

This time, he intended to closely observe the details of the so-called imprint characteristics.

The Balance Angel was an excellent subject for this test.

If only he could figure out how the Necro-angel Church transferred imprints onto the angels, he could do the same for himself!
