Chapter 15

Trapped within the confines of the cocoon, the captured cultivators experienced a torment that transcended the physical realm. Stripped of their dignity and power, they lay naked, vulnerable to the whims of Yue Li, who had orchestrated their descent into a living nightmare.

Pain gripped their bodies, the agony of their cultivation levels plummeting from 55 to 54, a relentless reminder of their foolish choices. The cocoon, a cruel arena of suffering, became a prison that echoed with the shattered remnants of their pride.

Despair enveloped them like a suffocating shroud, the weight of their humiliation bearing down upon their weakened forms. Each breath, once filled with the essence of higher cultivation, now tasted bitter with the bitterness of defeat and captivity.

Their shattered pride manifested in the anguished cries that echoed within the cocoon, an agonizing chorus of regret and remorse. The once-mighty cultivators, who had dared to enter Yue Li's domain, now faced the consequences of their folly – a fall from grace that left them vulnerable and exposed.

The cocoon, a macabre stage of suffering, bore witness to their humiliation. Stripped of their robes and defenses, they lay exposed to the harsh reality of their choices. The cocoon, woven with threads of darkness and malice, became a symbol of their descent into a hellish existence.

As they awaited their turn for sacrifice, the captives clung to the fragments of their former selves, grappling with the torment of their diminishing power. The cocoon, once a sanctuary of silk, now cocooned them in a web of torment and regret, each thread a reminder of the price they paid for their trespass.

Their cries of pain and pleas for mercy echoed within the cocoon, unheard and unanswered. The fall from level 55 to 54 marked not only a numerical descent but a profound unraveling of their once-proud identities. In the cocoon's cruel embrace, they faced a relentless cycle of torment, their existence reduced to a cruel spectacle for Yue Li's insatiable hunger for power.

In the silent darkness of the cocoon, the captives writhed in agony, their bodies weakened, their spirits broken. The cocoon, a twisted tapestry woven with their suffering, bore witness to the inexorable toll exacted by Yue Li's merciless design.

Yue Li was cultivating her dark arachne cultivation technique, and the benefit became immediate as her martial soul essence was fully contained.

Next was the path of cultivation, in the immortal world, cultivators had several steps to reach the divine, but their paths was simply strengthening the soul while achieving harmony with a path of heaven and earth, their end goal was to immortalized the soul and use the law understood to reshaped the body becoming divine.

The martial soul cultivation was different. It's not the body or the mind that needs to be cultivated, but the martial soul and the soul power reservoir.

Yue Li found out that the path to the divine is one, stopping the martial soul essence from dispersion. Two, strengthening the soul power reservoir and refining it to have at least 80 percent compatible with the attributes of the martial soul. Three, integrating the soul rings abilities and attributes into the cultivation techniques, from the first to the last while seeking full benefits. Four, making sure the body and mind keep up with the advent through deducing a mind training technique and a body tempering technique from the cultivation techniques. Five, make several self-made soul skills to strengthen the foundation. Six awakening a martial soul domain. Seven refining a soul power core, a bloodline core, and a mind core. Eight use the seven to create a small dimension, and lastly, evolve the dimension into a small world.

' Yeah, this is going to take a long time. ' Mused Yue Li to herself,' but everything wouldn't make itself, and since I have an idea about strengthening the martial soul essence, I can try simulating it, but first, the fondation need to be completed. Unfortunately my instincts are telling me to not jump and make the cultivation technique after integrating the five soul rings until I perfected my soul power reservoir and reached the peak in my body tempering technique and mind meditation technique. '

* On the first day, you tried to deduce a body tempering technique from the cultivation techniques because of the huge difference you failed. *

* On the second day, you looked towards the dark arachne, trying to ask her for some opinions. She looked at you dumbfounded. She raised her hands in defeat, and because of that, you had an idea. *

* On the third day you tried your idea, training the body to become like a dark arachne, you used your exceptional knowledge about spirit beasts to emulate the environment and transform the body. *

...

* On the first week, your attempt failed, but you had a better plan built on the failures of the first one. *

...

* On the first month, your attempt failed, but you had a better plan built on the failures of the second one. *

...

* On the first year, your attempt failed, but you had a better plan built on the failures of the fifth one. *

...

* On the third year, your attempt failed, but you had a better plan built on the failures of the thirty-fifth one. *

...

* On the fifth year, you succeed in your attempt number fifty, you devised stage in your body tempering, flesh, bones, blood, organs, and lastly, blood marrow. But you received a message from your martial soul asking you to add poison to your tempering, you felt that it was quite important but you had a weird sense of deja vu, you complied while having a small sense of trepidation. *

...

* On the tenth years, you had a complete calm and stoic face while looking at 36 condition added to the body tempering, a lot of them being derived from demonic techniques. From striping the organs to poison blood tempering, from creating a fire aches bones that shattered the bones to the cursed skins tempering. *

* End of simulation *

Yue Li stared at the embarrassed dark arachne. " You really have no idea. Of course, you only wish to label me as a fallen cultivator beyond redemption. "

The dark arachne looked at her, then stared at the sacrifices and looked at her again.

A weird silence fell in the place.
