Chapter 324: Chapter 123: [Death Codex]! Lynch Has an Inheritance

Reading this, Lynch was instantly wide awake.

’No way... this predecessor is seriously daring!’

He hurriedly read on.

[Based on this idea, I conducted a series of studies. I combined some core tenets from the Death Codex—specifically those on tempering matter and nourishing the soul with Negative Energy—and integrated them with some rudimentary Qigong theories and inspiration from novels to create the prototype of a Cultivation Technique. On this foundation, I performed countless dangerous experiments and deductions. Finally, I drafted a unique cultivation method, which I have named the [Profound Yin Body Refining Spell].]

[The core principle of this Spell is to draw upon pure Profound Yin Qi (you can think of it as a highly purified form of Negative Energy) to temper one’s own flesh, bones, and organs, progressively strengthening the physical body until it possesses a toughness rivaling that of a Warrior of the same rank. This can greatly compensate for the Necromancer’s inherent fragility in close combat. When cultivated to an advanced level, it can even slow aging to a certain extent and enhance one’s life force.]

[More importantly, the [Profound Yin Body Refining Spell] contains a Secret Technique for refining a "Lifebound Profound Corpse." You can carefully select a corpse with extremely high potential to serve as its foundation. By using the unique soul-splitting and fusion techniques within this Spell, you can infuse it with a sliver of your own foundational Soul Mark and refine it over a long period with a large quantity of rare materials, ultimately cultivating a "Lifebound Profound Corpse."]

[This Profound Corpse is completely different from an ordinary zombie. It is connected to your soul, sharing your thoughts, like a second body. You can detach a thread of your primary consciousness to possess it at any time, directly controlling its actions and combat. The feeling is as fluid and natural as controlling your own body, far surpassing what can be achieved through a standard mental link. And this thread of primary consciousness can even command an Undead Army just the same.]

[Furthermore, the Profound Corpse’s growth potential and power far exceed those of same-rank Copper Armored Corpses or Silver Armored Corpses, and it will grow stronger in sync with your Cultivation of the [Profound Yin Body Refining Spell].]

[The most critical point is... should you one day have the misfortune of your physical body being destroyed, as long as your soul core is not extinguished and your Lifebound Profound Corpse still exists, you can use the intangible bond between them to instantly transfer your primary soul into the Profound Corpse and continue to live on using it as your "body." Although you would become a purely Undead Life form, your path of cultivation would become more difficult, and there would be numerous limitations and aftereffects, at the very least, you would still be "alive," with a chance to continue existing and seek revenge.]

’Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!!’

Reading this, a tidal wave of shock crashed through Lynch’s mind; a string of "Holy shits" almost escaped his lips.

’This Predecessor Lester... he’s too damn incredible, isn’t he?!’

’In another world with a completely different cultivation system, he, a middle school teacher from the 90s, actually managed to create such an incredible-sounding, complex cultivation system?!’

’And he did it using those dubious Qigong theories from back in the day, combined with wild ideas from wuxia and xuanhuan novels?’

’A Body Refinement Spell to strengthen his physical form, avoiding the fate of a squishy Mage getting beheaded.’ ℴℴ𝘮

’On top of that, he improved the Zombie Spell to refine a Lifebound Profound Corpse that shares a telepathic link with the Necromancer and moves like an extension of their own body.’

’And that’s not all—this refined Lifebound Profound Corpse can even serve as a backup for resurrection after the physical body is destroyed?!’

’Every single one of these is a dream-come-true ability for a Necromancer!’

’Especially that last one—it’s practically a second life!’

Although becoming an Undead Life form certainly had all sorts of drawbacks, at the moment of life and death, survival was more important than anything. Some Necromancers even turned themselves into Witch Demons. That process had even more severe drawbacks, yet weren’t there still plenty of Necromancers willing to do it?

Actually, Lynch had also imagined creating a Cultivation Technique based on theories from novels, but for him, it was just a fleeting thought.

After all, modifying existing Cultivation Techniques and Magic required an incredibly strong theoretical foundation.

And he had only been in this world for a little over two years. Most of that time had been spent struggling to survive and accumulating his initial capital. His research into the deeper principles of the path of the Undead was far from sufficient, so how could he dare to conduct such groundbreaking and dangerous research like Lester had?

"I’m impressed. Truly impressed!"

At this moment, Lynch felt nothing but sincere admiration for this incredible predecessor from his homeland.

The value of these groundbreaking research concepts and their results might not even be inferior to Sandro’s legacy of the Death Codex.

For a moment, Lynch found himself completely stunned by this audaciously daring predecessor with his uniquely unconventional way of thinking.

But clearly, the "surprises" Predecessor Lester had for him were far from over.

In the following part of the letter, Lester’s handwriting grew heavier.

[Let’s talk about the research that I spent the most effort on during the latter half of my life. You’ve probably already guessed what I’m about to say. That’s right, the failed "Great Resurrection Skill." Its initial concept and prototype were actually completed through my joint research with Alice. Although she was a Holy Light Priest, she had an understanding of the essence of life and soul that transcended dogma. She believed that a Resurrection Technique capable of bringing the dead back to life truly existed, and that by using the right method, the boundary between life and death could be broken. We believed that between the two seemingly opposing forces of Death and Holy Light, there existed a certain balance point where they could coexist or even be converted, and we tried to find it. I have also recorded this immature prototype, along with our failed experiences and some of our hypotheses, in the appendix of the Death Codex. If you are interested, perhaps you can continue this line of exploration...]
