"My God, this is unbelievable! Just by absorbing the remaining spiritual energy from corpses, one can increase their strength to such an extent."
"They've already become corpses. Even if they still have some spiritual energy left, there shouldn't be much left. How could they be causing such a powerful pressure?"
"This is simply illogical! How come I feel that after that power was absorbed into the cultivator's body, it actually multiplied several times over?"
"Is it the corpse itself that is powerful, or the technique itself that is powerful enough?"
"It seems to me that the corpses themselves are quite powerful. Some of them appear to have been Saint- level cultivators in life, and the aura they exude is something even I cannot ignore."
"But many of these corpses didn't even reach the level of Saint, so why could they still have such a huge impact on the people in the picture?"
Who knows?
"In my opinion, it's a matter of quantity! Perhaps the spiritual power contained in a single corpse isn't much, but when there are many, the total spiritual power becomes considerable."
The discussion was lively in the bullet comments and comment sections, and the fantasy world outside of the vast number of video websites was no exception.
All cultivators, regardless of their strength or weakness, had a remarkably consistent first reaction upon seeing this cultivation technique.
That's unbelievable!
Because this method itself is an unorthodox and heretical practice.
In many large sects, such unorthodox methods are not even qualified to be accepted into the inner sanctum. After all, although such techniques seem powerful, their side effects are extraordinary, and it is easy to suffer from qi deviation and demonic possession.
This is the main reason why major powers do not advocate this cultivation method.
In a typical fantasy world, there simply aren't that many corpses for cultivators to devour. The scene in the video, with mountains and fields covered in corpses, is only possible in extremely rare cases, such as after a major battle.
Besides these, there are other reasons as well. For example, the spiritual energy absorbed from the corpse, although cultivated by ordinary cultivators and with a concentration much higher than that of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, is still too little in actual quantity.
Even if these powers were truly integrated into the body, the cost-effectiveness for cultivators would not be very high, far less than absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation.
Of course, there is also the most important reason, which is that the conversion rate is simply too low.
Absorbing the spiritual energy from the corpses of other cultivators, though pure, inevitably involves tainting it with the power of the cultivation techniques practiced by those cultivators.
The techniques are not interconnected, and it takes a lot of effort to completely convert the power of one technique into the power of another.
Instead of going through all that trouble to cultivate this heretical method, it would be better to cultivate other techniques properly. In terms of the final benefits, it would be far superior to this kind of technique.
However, the situation depicted in the video now seems to be completely contrary to the understanding of all the monks.
First of all, the fact that this kind of technique can be included on this list suggests that it's not just a list for legitimate and reputable practitioners; even unorthodox and heretical methods are included.
Therefore, the so-called "Ten Great Cultivation Methods" may be more comprehensive than many cultivators initially imagined.
"A cultivation technique that ranks ninth must be far more powerful than the tenth-ranked one!"
"This is truly bizarre. How could such an unorthodox method possibly grant such immense power?"
"Logically speaking, absorbing the spiritual energy from a corpse is a very poor strategy."
"There must be something special about this technique itself. Didn't you see how terrifying the pressure around that cultivator became after absorbing the power from the corpse, even though he himself had no spiritual power?"
A verdant paradise, a pavilion overlooking the blue waters.
The patriarch of the Azure Water Pavilion stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently at the video projection in front of him.
He knew very well that what he was seeing was just an appetizer; the ninth-ranked technique had not yet truly appeared.
All of this was merely a prelude to the ninth-ranked technique.
Whether judging from the rankings or the strength of the technique itself, this technique, which has not yet revealed its true form, is far more powerful than the Cloud Reincarnation Technique from before.
The old patriarch of the Azure Water Pavilion was not completely unaware of such a cultivation method. However, like most cultivators who commented in the bullet screen and comment section, he also thought it was a heretical path with extremely low cost-effectiveness and not worth his effort at all.
Even so, this technique still made it onto this list, which is enough to show that there is something special about it.
After all, he had witnessed the Cloud Reincarnation Technique firsthand.
"Perhaps this kind of technique will also have some effect on me." The old patriarch of the Azure Water Pavilion stroked his chin thoughtfully.
A wild and untamed wonderland.
"A cultivation technique that can absorb the spiritual energy of a corpse? Interesting."
One of the cultivators narrowed his eyes with great interest, his interest having increased considerably since before.
As everyone knows, the wild world lacks everything except living beings and dead beings.
Whether or not they are cultivators, being born in a barbaric world means that their lives will either be killed by others or they will kill others.
In other words, the one thing this place has no shortage of is corpses!
That's why this cultivator showed such strong interest; in his view, this thing was far more valuable than the recently appeared "Cloud and Mist Reincarnation Method."
Although the Cloud Reincarnation Technique was very powerful, it held no appeal for him.
After all, based on the information shown in the scene just now, to cultivate this kind of technique, the cultivator himself must possess the power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation.
This alone has blocked countless cultivators.
There are countless paths to cultivation in the fantasy world, and hundreds or even thousands of different Great Dao. Finding a cultivator who happens to cultivate the Great Dao of Reincarnation is not an easy task.
The technique before us currently seems to only require a sufficient number of corpses.
"This technique seems quite practical." The cultivator's eyes lit up slightly.
A prestigious and upright family.
"It's unbelievable that such heretical and unorthodox methods are even qualified to be on the list!"
"What a ridiculous list!"
"Such a cultivation method should never have existed in this world!"
Several upright individuals spoke with righteous indignation, their eyes practically spitting fire as they looked at the screen.
"How could such an unorthodox and heretical method be ranked higher than the orthodox cultivation techniques?"
One of the monks asked incredulously.
Indeed, compared to this kind of cultivation method, even the Cloud Reincarnation Technique from before is considered a righteous path.
