The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Time flies, and when Wu You opened his eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Pale golden sunlight peeked through the gaps in the curtains, drawing a thin, slightly luminous band of light on the bedroom floor, while dust motes drifted slowly and leisurely within the band of light.

The sunlight had that unique warmth of early summer—not scorching, not glaring, just the right temperature to make you want to lie down a little longer.

Wu You got out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled back the bedroom curtains. The pale golden sunlight immediately streamed in from outside, falling on his face and reflecting two small, warm spots of light in his silver eyes.

Bathed in the morning sunlight and fresh air, Wu You unconsciously stretched and relaxed.

Last night, due to exhaustion of his mental energy, Wu You only briefly browsed the first part of the "Twilight Sword Technique" offered by the believer before going to rest.

Then, Wu You, who had just gotten up, went to the bathroom to wash up.

The sound of the faucet being turned on was particularly clear in the quiet morning, and the water flowed onto the white ceramic washbasin, making a gurgling sound.

He scooped up a handful of cool water and splashed it on his face; the cool sensation made him more alert.

Then he looked up at the mirror.

In the mirror, he saw that the sword mark on his forehead had become more detailed, and occasionally it would flash with a pure, pale silver starlight.

The original sword mark was just a simple, straight silver line that could only roughly show the shape of a sword. Now, it has become more detailed: there is a slightly curved line at the guard, and the center line of the sword is clearer.

At the same time, the original sword mark would only light up when Wu You used his own power or received certain information, and was usually just a quiet silver mark.

Even now, in his normal state, the sword mark between his brows is shimmering with pure silver starlight.

Wu You shook his head, understanding that this was a change brought about by his own level increasing again.

After washing up briefly, he took out a few red sun fruits from a wooden box in the corner of the living room for breakfast.

While eating, he sat on the sofa in the living room and continued to carefully read the rest of "Twilight Swordsmanship".

Before long, Wu You had roughly browsed through the contents of "Twilight Sword Technique".

Generally speaking, the Twilight Sword Technique is divided into two main parts:

One part consists of content, including Twilight Body Tempering Method and Twilight Sword Technique, used to improve physical fitness and provide means of combat; the other part consists of content, mainly Twilight Meditation Method, used to improve the quality and quantity of mental power.

Overall, this is a sword technique that is not particularly brilliant or exquisite, but it is still acceptable.

But it was this not-so-skillful swordsmanship that allowed Wu You to glimpse a corner of the cultivation system in the Corpse Realm!

The Twilight Swordsmanship contains descriptions of the division of realms:

"Once you've mastered both the Twilight Meditation Method and the Twilight Body Tempering Method, you can break through to the level of a formal knight. Only then can you begin practicing the first three forms of the Twilight Sword Technique!"

"Once you reach level three or higher in Twilight Meditation and level five or higher in Twilight Body Tempering, you can attempt to break through to the Silver Knight level!"

"When both the Twilight Meditation Technique and the Twilight Body Tempering Technique are perfected, that will be the moment of the Golden Knight's perfection!"

"If the Twilight Sword Technique also reaches perfection, one can fight against a Lord-level expert!"

Among them, the formal knights, silver knights, gold knights, lords, etc., are clearly the realm classifications in the Corpse Realm!

It's not about "ability users" or "ranks," but a completely different training system centered around "knights."

Wu You casually tossed the leftover Crimson Sun Fruit pit into the trash can in a graceful parabola, then pondered: "The Knight System..."

"Regular Knight, Silver Knight, Gold Knight, Lord-level..."

"What levels of ability do these different realms correspond to?"

In addition, Wu You also discovered some obvious differences between the "Twilight Sword Technique" and the sword manuals or martial arts sword techniques he had mastered!

That is the method and timing for practicing the Twilight Meditation Method!

The Twilight Meditation Method is a method for cultivating mental power in the "Twilight Sword Technique".

In the martial arts and swordsmanship of Earth, only qi and blood are trained, and there are no methods for cultivating spiritual power. The growth of spiritual power is incidental and passive.

In the sword manual, the enhancement of mental strength is mainly achieved through the mental techniques, which involve actively cultivating mental strength through methods such as introspection, visualization, and mental guidance.

However, the cultivation method and timing of the Sword Canon's core techniques are completely different from those of the Twilight Sword Technique!

Take basic swordsmanship as an example. Basic swordsmanship starts with the thirteen basic stances, footwork, breathing techniques, etc., to solidify the physical foundation before starting to combine it with mental techniques. While improving physical strength, it ensures that mental strength also progresses in tandem, with physical and mental development developing simultaneously without any obvious weaknesses.

However, in the "Twilight Sword Technique," the practice of Twilight Meditation is the first step! It even precedes the Twilight Body Tempering Technique!

He first cultivates his mental strength, then his physical body.

Furthermore, if the Twilight Meditation Technique cannot be successfully cultivated, the Twilight Body Tempering Technique is very likely to fail as well!

Even if one fails to master the Twilight Meditation Method and manages to grasp the basics of the Twilight Body Tempering Method with a very small probability, the subsequent training effects will be greatly reduced!

It's like something important is missing!

This was extremely abnormal in Wu You's view!

Logically speaking, physical and mental cultivation should complement each other.

Improving physical strength can accelerate the growth of mental power, and improving mental power will also make cultivators more clear-headed and more likely to perceive changes in the body and the flow of energy.

Moreover, in the early stages of cultivation, the physical body generally has a greater influence on mental strength. How could a mental strength cultivation method, if unsuccessful, actually inhibit the improvement of the physical body?

This is unreasonable!

At the same time, the way to get started with the twilight meditation method also made Wu You frown deeply.

To enter the Twilight Meditation Method, there is no need to improve physical strength or strengthen one's mind; all that is required is to pray to a being called the "God of Twilight"!

If your prayer is successful and you receive a response from the other party, a dim, yellow sky will appear in your mind!

That's how you get started with the evening meditation method!

After that, all you need to do is visualize that hazy yellow sky to increase your mental strength!

While deep in thought, Wu You couldn't help but stroke his chin: This cultivation method just doesn't seem right!

Why does this so-called introductory method of twilight meditation give people the feeling of receiving some kind of permission?

Only with the permission of the so-called "God of Twilight" can one practice the Twilight Meditation Technique?

Moreover, Wu You always felt that this cultivation method had a sense of "reluctantly selling oneself."

While Wu You was pondering the "Twilight Sword Technique," in the deep dark domain, at the supply depot of the Jiuli stronghold...

Old Wei stood behind the counter, his fingers clicking and swiping across the screen in front of him, handling various tasks: lists of medicinal herbs entering the warehouse, task reports submitted by numerous torchbearers, resource collection records from various danger zones, and so on.

The next moment, Old Wei's usually calm expression suddenly changed, and his finger stopped at the top of the screen, not falling.

A glaring red notification popped up on the screen in front of him.

"One minute ago, a large-scale zombie riot occurred simultaneously in all S-level restricted areas, including No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 7, and so on!"

"The vast majority of Rank 9 and above zombie species have been stopped at the boundary of the S-level restricted area, but a few Rank 9 and above zombie species have still managed to escape the boundary!"

"The detached corpse species are mainly ninth-tier corpse species, but also include five to seven tenth-tier corpse species. All of them belong to the Lustful Race, which controls the bodies of the Myriad Beast Corpse Species!"

"Based on their initial movements after leaving the restricted area, their target is highly likely to be the main stronghold of this deep dark domain!"

"Immediately recall all Torchbearers currently on missions! And prepare for a zombie horde!"
