Chapter 281 The Void
Abigail and the others primarily focused on absorbing and purifying the corpse poison in densely populated cities.
In other areas, after the zombies were cleared out, the corpse poison in the air would gradually dissipate over time, though the process was somewhat lengthy.
Meanwhile, relying solely on absorbing the corpse poison from the air did not significantly enhance Abigail and the others' growth, so Elijah provided them with some of the corpse poison stored in the treasure vase talisman for their cultivation.
After establishing his foundation, Elijah's mastery of the Thousand Silken Souls Technique improved to a new level, making him no longer concerned about Abigail and the others surpassing his strength.
After dealing with the zombies in the country, Elijah began his overseas journey.
He was less meticulous in dealing with foreign zombies, targeting only the densely populated cities.
It took him over three years to collect most of the zombies and corpse cores worldwide.
Ten years passed, and the concentration of Chi in the air began to noticeably decrease.
Fortunately, Elijah was continuously studying the knowledge within the jade slips.
Due to material constraints, he only gained a basic understanding of alchemy and artifact refining, without delving deeply into them.
However, he thoroughly researched talismans and formations.
The protective formation currently shrouding Azure Isle was his handiwork.
This formation served three primary functions: protection, confusion, and spirit gathering.
It effectively shielded the island from external probing and accidental landings.
Of course, the most important function was gathering spiritual energy.
The formation constantly absorbed the surrounding spiritual Chi, making the concentration of spiritual Chi within Azure Isle far higher than that of the outside world.
When Elijah arrived on the island, Daisy, who was in charge of the island's formations, immediately noticed and informed the other women still on the island.
Over these ten years, the women had also undergone significant changes.
After purging the accumulated virus from their bodies and undergoing body refinement, Elijah specifically selected some cultivation methods for everyone to choose from.
Among them, Bella, Daisy, Fiona, Sophia, and Olivia chose the Spirit Pill method from the Demon Evil Art, just like Elijah. Hannah chose an orthodox ice-based technique, saying it was more compatible and should progress faster.
Grace, Katherine, and Jasmine chose lightning, wood, and fire-based techniques, respectively, for similar reasons.
Only Lily continued practicing the Hun Yuan Technique, but Elijah gave her a set of body-refining spells said to be suitable for physical cultivation.
After visiting Lillian, Elijah returned to Azure Isle, no longer venturing out lightly, and began his serious seclusion and cultivation.

Elijah finally condensed all his soul energy and formed a radiant golden core in his dantian, reaching the same realm as the Black Prison Sovereign and Red Dragon Daoist from the past.
Upon his success, Elijah immediately unleashed his full essence, energy, and spirit, attempting to tear through the void.
The space where Elijah struck opened a slight rift, revealing the chaotic void behind it, but the rift quickly closed as if nothing had happened.
However, Elijah knew that he could now break through the void and traverse to another world.
Despite this breakthrough, Elijah refrained from further action, aware that he was still unable to withstand the chaotic void currents to travel safely to another realm.
After this attempt, Elijah officially ended his seclusion.
Having successfully formed his Golden Core, it was a time to celebrate!
The women were all overjoyed to hear that Elijah had finished his seclusion and achieved the Golden Core stage, and they celebrated with him for several days.
During these fifty years, Elijah hadn't stayed in seclusion the entire time; he emerged every few months, so he hadn't become distant from the women.
However, as time passed, the women were no longer as young as before.
Fortunately, because they all practiced cultivation techniques and had successively advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, they hadn't aged, and their appearances remained at their most beautiful, albeit more mature.
Only Lillian didn't devote herself to cultivation, remaining at the Chi Refining stage.
Time had left its mark on her, and about ten years ago, she stopped wanting to see Elijah, saying that seeing his youthful appearance made her feel melancholic.
Time had also taken its toll on Yello and Whitey.
Without any special cultivation techniques, they could only advance by consuming spirit plants. Reaching the fourth tier was their limit, and with the gradual disappearance of spiritual Chi in the environment, they even began to regress in their cultivation.
Ultimately, during Elijah's thirty years of seclusion, both Yello and Whitey passed away from old age.
Before his death, Whitey attempted to transform into a dragon but ultimately failed. When Elijah received the news, he was deeply saddened for several days.
In the end, he buried both Yello and Whitey on Azure Isle.
The passing of Yello and Whitey profoundly reminded Elijah of the relentless passage of time, and he understood that this was just the beginning of life's inevitable changes.
Not long after Yello and Whitey's deaths, Fiona returned to Azure Isle.
