As he refined the Abyss Energy over and over, Su Ming's own cultivation grew increasingly solid.
He did not incorporate the power of the Trinity into it. Instead, he focused purely on the abilities of his future main body, gradually inscribing all his insights into elemental control, his understanding of blood and qi cultivation, and his experience cultivating Soul Power into the Abyss Energy.
The only pity was that this portion of Abyss Energy still belonged to the Abyss, because Su Ming had failed to forcibly erase its imprint.
