After several discussions, Teda decided to first test Bologue's soul to see if it had returned to stability, leaving the rest for later.
Compared to the ascension ceremony, the Trial of the Triple Law beforehand for the Condenser wasn't considered difficult, just requiring a lot of Alchemy Materials.
Bologue's first trial would be the Trial of Salt, which corresponded to the soul of desire, as well as Bologue's body.
A Condenser who passed this trial would have their physical body significantly strengthened. Alchemists had researched this phenomenon and concluded that as Condensers ascend, they grow closer to Ether until becoming assimilated by it, resulting in bodily transformation or perhaps transcendence.
This is why many Condensers are never afflicted by diseases in their lives, as their shell, protected by Ether, is no longer troubled by illness.
"You're an Undead, which means as long as you keep going, you'll eventually become a Seeker of Glory, right?" Aimou asked.
