Seeing that the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm was already dead, Yi Yun recalled the heart sutras of the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’.
To condense an Aspect Totem, one had to first condense a beast mark from a desolate beast’s corpse. A beast mark was the condensation of a recently-killed desolate beast’s life essence and Power of Desolates!
Under normal circumstances, a desolate beast’s life essence and Power of Desolates would slowly dissipate into the surroundings after it was killed.
The energy within the blood and flesh would dissipate the fastest while the energy within the bones dissipated slowly. It could then be used by Desolate Heaven Masters to refine desolate bone relics.
Warriors who were not Desolate Heaven Masters had great difficulty in using this energy.
Of course, after a warrior cultivated a totem mystic technique, he could usually borrow the worldly laws to a certain extent. They could make the desolate beast’s life essence and Power of Desolates synergize with their own murderous Qi by slowly extracting that energy.
A warrior’s murderous Qi could form such synergy only with the desolate beasts killed by the warrior himself.
By using the totem mystic technique, these separated energies would slowly form a light blob, and this light blob would have the imprint of the dead desolate beast within it.
This was the beast mark.
Actually, if a warrior were to use a totem mystic technique to condense a beast mark, he would only be able to obtain a tiny portion of the desolate beast’s energy.
Hence, even if the beast mark was extracted, this kind of dead desolate beast could still be exchanged for dragon scale runes. Using the desolate bones from such a desolate beast to refine a relic would not had too bad an effect.
It was not easy to condense a beast mark. Many warriors had to kill many desolate beasts to be able to barely condense a beast mark, and the quality left much to be desired.
If the quality of the beast mark was low, the Aspect Totem that was eventually condensed would also have limited powers.
To successfully condense an Aspect Totem, many cultivators would try to choose the totem mystic techniques that were easier to learn.
It could be said that the quality of the beast seal condensed depended on the totem mystic technique’s grade.
But a high grade totem mystic technique was impossible to learn. The beast mark condensed from killing dozens of desolate beasts was of questionable quality, so no matter how high grade the totem mystic technique was, it was still pointless.
For example, the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ Yi Yun was learning was a high grade mystic technique.
Even the sages of the Tai Ah Divine City could only read through the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ to ponder over its wondrous meaning. They would not learn a mystic technique that no one could master…
Standing in front of the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm, Yi Yun closed his eyes and thought deeply for a while as he sank his spiritual energy into the Purple Crystal…
The Purple Crystal, which was located in Yi Yun’s heart, emitted a strange glow. Yi Yun felt like a whirlpool had appeared in his body and the the murderous Qi that he generated from killing the Thousand Feet Black Silkworm spread all over the whirlpool as it let out a light groan.
A large amount of life essence and Power of Desolates within the Thousand Black Silkworm were sucked by this whirlpool and surged towards it!
Hum Hum Hum…
The energy created violent tremors in midair before finally condensing into a beast mark the size of a fist.
This beast mark emitted a reddish-gold light. Within it, there was a phantom image of a baby silkworm. With a thought, this beast mark flew into Yi Yun’s body.
Sou!
The beast mark’s energy entered all of Yi Yun’s limbs and bones. An indescribable feeling transmitted throughout Yi Yun’s body.
Although he had plenty of experience absorbing the essences of desolate beasts, none of them were similar to today’s experience. It made Yi Yun’s pores open up, as if his entire body’s soul and flesh had elevated to a new level.
