Opportunities for Growth 

"No, we should let Onyx rest when we reach The Pure Enclave. We will find far superior cultivation opportunities there. It will be more beneficial for him to sleep. And I won't be long. I just need to consume this black liquid and return to your body.

With his master's approval, Torne acted swiftly, using his powers to enhance the concentration of the negative liquid—a condensation of the elements in this area—before consuming it as if it were juice.
