During the following two hours of conversation, the woman and Daniel talked about where he cay contained in his body, and about so that Daniel believed to be one of the i this world

Through a series of seenals, the woe to avoid contamination

Daniel didn't answer at first, but then, as the woman was about to leave, she heard Daniel's voice froe

”Whhat do yuu meam with 'Contraminattion'”?

The woman turned to look at Daniel with a dumbfounded expression

What prevented her fro not to be able to talk their language, was the fact that he hadn't spoken a single word that she hadn't pronounced during the last couple of hours of conversation

”Do you understand estures

In response, Daniel looked back at her, and in her language, he said ”Jhust a bith”

The woman couldn't help but smile at Daniel's incredible ability of co able to talk like a four year old kid in the span of two hours, was a huge feat of intelligence

During the next couple of days, Daniel learned a great deal of the woman's culture

Apparently, their world was not different froin, once before it becaarding her world's history She knew that her race had its own unique pohich they called 'Aura'

The aura was directly connected to their life, and by 'cultivating' it, they would have a chance to become more powerful, and even extend their lifespan of hundreds of years

Unfortunately, when their civilization was at the peak of its power A group of warriors with roup of overwhelhtering and destroying anything that was in their path Causing hundreds of millions, if not billions of deaths

After years of roa their world without anyone that could stop theest warriors of their tiainst theether, they would be able to put an end to the atrocities they caused

The plan worked

Despite the deciroup of htered once and for all

Unfortunately for their race, that was the beginning of the end for the what Daniel had heard into his own comprehension, he had more or less understood what had happened next

Basically, the ies had overcharged the world with more death essence than necessary

After a critical point had been reached, various portals had opened all around the wasteland world, and from these portals, the monstersof death, and whatever they touched, would end up being devoured by their death-like power

Of course, Daniel knew much more about essence than the woman did

He knew that the essence that corrupted everything was not essence of death Death essence was calm, peaceful, and was only able to devour life essence fros like plants, trees, human and beasts

What had turned those beasts into ed the inhabitants 'aura' into death-like essence, was so different

In order to avoid confusion, Daniel had refer to this essence as 'essence of corruption'

Daniel could clearly feel that the aura of the woh to bring people over the ninth stage of martial cultivation, nor could it increase a person's life span

Another information that Daniel had obtained from the woman, was that the black spots on the people's body indicated their ”cultivation” or level of corruption

Their corrupted aura was created by their body, just like ki was, but they increased in power in a way inal world' ranked beasts, than hu off of other types of powers contained, for example, in the monter's flesh, they would be able to refill their internal storage of aura, and use it when they needed it

Their storage of aura would slowly get used to the limited amount of power, and it would slowly increase with time

This is how the natives of this world cultivated

Unfortunately, the monsters that had arrived fro in the world Daniel could feel it

Of one thing Daniel was sure There was no connection to the spiritual plain whatsoever in this world Otherwise, people would have sooner or later found a way to cultivate their spirits

After two days of conversation, Daniel had becoe of his captors

He had been given books to read, and food to eat, but he refused to touch any of the food he was given, as he didn't wish to be corrupted by it

She hat in her world would be called an alchemist, and studied the monster, their essence, and tried to find ways to slow, or possibly remove, the corruption contained in their food
