Grey decided to postpone his departure until he was absolutely ready. The Dead Sea was not a place where one could rely on luck alone. He wanted to refine more poison and properly assimilate the Forbidden Monarch Art before leaving.
Only after making this decision did he finally sit down.
Grey sat cross-legged and steadied his breathing. Taking out the jade slip, he reviewed the cultivation method one last time to ensure there were no mistakes. Once he was certain, he began to breathe according to the method recorded within it.
The moment he did, a cold and unpleasant energy surged toward him.
Grey felt that chilling energy forcefully fuse into his body. His body involuntarily shuddered as freezing air seeped beneath his skin and flowed into his bloodstreams. The cold was sharp and invasive, spreading rapidly through his limbs.
However, Grey did not panic.
This reaction was normal.
