Chapter 330: A New Path (Seeking Subscriptions)

A moment later.

On the balcony of the Doren residence.

Aaron and Liliyat sat opposite each other, with afternoon tea set out on the small round table between them.

Besides black tea from South Innis, the three-tiered exquisite serving tray was filled with various small snacks and cakes.

Liliyat sipped her black tea, looked at the maid who had retreated, and then at her father, who was sitting restlessly on the living room sofa and watching them nervously. She apologized, "My father loves me very much; he is worried that I have been coerced and deceived by some evil organization. Of course... I know that our 'Invisible Cult' is a great and glorious organization."

"Ahem... understood, understood."

"Also... thank you for having your housekeeper, Ms. Sylvia, manage the museum for me."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "I respect your choice... The reason I came this time, besides notifying you to be careful, is that I was entrusted by Mr. Yasuo to bring you some knowledge of Occultism. After all, this concerns your future Extraordinary path."

Furthermore, he could roughly discern the development potential of every path!

This was a perspective that no ancient Cult in the Mortal World possessed.

Liliyat stood up again to express her gratitude and spoke at length about the recent situation regarding Sylvia and the museum.

Although the 'Luminary-Darkness Balancer' route was a massive pit, the 'Red'-'Underworld' balance held great promise. In Aaron's view, there was no issue with this route becoming an 'Immortal', and it even had the potential to become a Hidden Existence—provided the system was supplemented and completed.

Aaron raised his teacup, slightly masking his embarrassment.

As a 'Furnace' and a founder of Occultism, his understanding of the Mysterious far exceeded that of other Extraordinaries.

"Praise my Lord!" Liliyat's face was filled with piety as she followed Aaron in a prayer.

Aaron said solemnly.

Aaron recited silently in his heart, nodding with a serious expression: "Yes, our 'Invisible Cult' participated in this incident, which led to the final failure of that cult leader's ascension... and then, I took the opportunity to open the Fourth Primordial Substance."

Liliyat recalled the news circulating in the Hidden Realm, then suddenly covered her small mouth in shock, her delicate glasses trembling: "Aaron... this matter, could it be related to our 'Invisible Cult'?"

"Alright, back to your path... Mr. Yasuo brought some Occultism manuscripts, all regarding the dual cultivation of 'Red' and 'Underworld'. You currently have no major issues ascending to 'Dying One', but before opening the Fourth Primordial Substance, it is best to collect one 'Red' and one 'Underworld' non-human remnant as the main materials for ascension, so as to switch paths in one go... The general method is to use your own body as a 'Cursed Object'!"

After Liliyat finished introducing the recent situation, he thought for a moment and spoke in a low voice: "How much do you know about the 'Lecture Hall Tragedy' that occurred in Plymouth?"

What kind of outfit the 'Invisible Cult' really was, he knew better than anyone. Calling it a scam organization, it seemed... not far off?

Liliyat had clearly never been exposed to such profound Occultism knowledge and needed Aaron to explain the balance theory again. She immediately beamed: "There is such a magical path... by balancing the pollution, one no longer needs to worry about losing control?"

"My... path? The 'God's Messenger' actually remembers my affairs." Liliyat was immediately moved.

"It is said that an Evil Domain cult leader wanted to ascend to 'Immortal', controlled many upper-class figures in the kingdom, especially the Holy Spirit Pope, and then launched an attack during a lecture... The losses were very heavy."

Aaron was just speaking casually, seeing if he could trick a hardworking maid into joining him.

After all, after letting William go, he was still not quite used to it.

Aaron introduced the situation roughly, especially the descent of several 'Age-Keepers': "So... I came to remind you that you cannot expose your identity as a member of the 'Invisible Cult', otherwise you might encounter something very terrible... Hmm, I am currently preparing to go on a long-distance trip, perhaps taking a long-voyage ferry across the Darkness Sea to visit South Innis. Would you like to come along?"

The point of this matter was actually the second half of the sentence, but Liliyat was clearly more focused on the former: "So that evil False God was sanctioned; it was done by our organization... This is the judgment of justice!"

This was something Aaron had been considering before; for a beautiful, vibrant young girl to ascend to 'Evil Spirit' through a death Ritual was truly a pity.

"Hmm, although the 'Invisible Cult' has complete, hidden knowledge leading all the way to 'Evil Spirit', Mr. Yasuo does not suggest you choose this, because ascending from 'Dying One' to 'Evil Spirit' requires the body to die first. This Ritual is very dangerous; one slip and you are truly dead... Besides, 'Evil Spirit' is really not a good choice; the gradually eroded humanity makes it hard to maintain sanity."

'It seems the news circulating in the Hidden Realm is still quite one-sided...'

"Hmm, at the same time, use the Spirituality of 'Red' to maintain the body's Vitality. In this way, you can become a special 'Evil Spirit', an 'Evil Spirit' with a perfect body, which is also very helpful for resisting the erosion of sanity in the future." This was a path Aaron had recently conceived through the thought amplification and inspiration storm of the 'Tower'.

'Young lady, you are overthinking it.'

"Using the body as a Cursed Object to host resentment?" Liliyat murmured. She also knew a few things about the weaknesses of 'Evil Spirits'.

"No, after my treatment, you are currently in a state of balance, but once you start accumulating Spirituality, you will increase your madness again. Even if you do nothing, as time passes, the balance will be broken..." Aaron deliberately feigned a look of piety: "This is the greatness of my Lord's radiance; madness only accumulates, while my Lord's radiance can purify all filth!"

"Better not, right? If I suddenly disappear, it will be very troublesome..." Liliyat didn't know what she thought of, but her face turned red, and she answered with her head lowered.

Aaron said calmly: "Mr. Yasuo's opinion is that one can try a compatible path... Although some theories of the 'Tower' school are full of errors, such as the Balancer path that balances 'Luminary' and 'Darkness', which is a dead end, a hopeless path... but dual cultivation of 'Red' and 'Underworld', using life Vitality to balance silence and death, is quite a good concept."

Aaron listened with a smile, but muttered to himself: 'You think the museum is yours? No... actually, you are just managing it for me, no, holding it on my behalf...'

The general direction was correct, but the Rituals and requirements for each Primordial Substance still needed to be explored continuously.

The future was bright, but the path remained tortuous.
