Chapter 896 - 303: Simulated Cultivation Technique
Woo woo woo~~
The black wind carried thick demonic energy, raging in the endless darkness.
In the void, in the immense energy lake, suddenly, a large amount of black smoke bubbles emerged with a hiss.
After only a few breaths, the speed slowed down.
But after a few moments of pause, a massive amount of black smoke surged out again crazily.
Lin Zheyu began his second cultivation enhancement.
The use of twenty units of source power at once was a tremendous test of Lin Zheyu’s mind, so he deliberately divided it into two sessions.
In the pitch-black energy lake.
Occasionally, other colored energies or powers of rules streaked by.
After several breaths.
Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes.
The trembling chains of locks on his body gradually faded as he opened his eyes.
But immediately.
Lin Zheyu’s body trembled slightly, and two chains of locks appeared simultaneously.
The once shadowy, rusted chains completely solidified this time.
"Completely solidified."
"A chain extending into the sea of consciousness, entangling the soul, is truly unheard of."
Lin Zheyu looked at the newly solidified chain of locks, murmuring softly.
From the time he cultivated the Dubhe Nine Refinements Nine Tribulations Skill to Second-Layer Perfection, entering the third layer, and started nurturing and strengthening the spiritual treasure, this chain appeared.
Initially, Lin Zheyu didn’t think much of it.
In the Shackled Realm, there are seven chains of locks.
Normally, a new chain of locks only appears after tearing through one.
But Lin Zheyu is a genius, after all.
He laid an unprecedentedly deep martial foundation, crafted an incredibly strong physique, possessing terrifying potential.
Being a bit different is not surprising.
Compared to having chains appear in the Divine Treasure Realm, having two appear simultaneously is hardly noteworthy.
Lin Zheyu didn’t even feel surprised.
It’s just a chain of locks; it can’t restrain his strong physique, needing two chains to do so?
However.
When Lin Zheyu saw the newly appeared chains solidify and extend into the sea of consciousness, he felt a bit unsettled.
This...
What on earth?
A chain of locks restraining the spirit and soul?
Lin Zheyu delved into many texts related to the Shackled Realm, even obscure, fragmented, and ancient ones; Lin Zheyu had read many.
Yet he had never heard of chains restraining the soul.
Immortal Dao cultivation focuses on the soul.
If there were chains on the soul, Lin Zheyu would have found it in Immortal Dao texts.
Not having seen it indicates that chains shouldn’t exist on the soul.
Nevertheless.
It appeared.
"Could it be the Heavenly Dao found me too defiant, specially strengthening the chains’ restraint on me?"
Lin Zheyu muttered under his breath, with a slight tone of complaint.
It really was uncomfortable.
The originally enhanced perception ability, after this chain appeared, was diminished again.
Lin Zheyu felt as if he lost his freedom, with the soul suffocating and unable to breathe smoothly.
This feeling was unpleasant, suffocating.
Hoo~~
Gurgle gurgle~~
Lin Zheyu exhaled a long breath, transforming into bubbles rising from the energy lake.
After expelling the murky air in his heart, the stifled feeling eased significantly.
Swoosh~~
Lin Zheyu moved, shooting out of the energy lake like a cannonball.
He didn’t rush towards the node crack leading to the Demon Realm.
Outside gathered a group of demons; Lin Zheyu didn’t want to get caught in a battle with them.
He just wanted to hide in the shadows, capturing powerful demons he was interested in.
To lie low and develop, slowly researching the rule patterns contained in the magic patterns on the demons.
Even though Lin Zheyu’s strength was formidable.
His defense was even more astonishing.
However, transforming into a demon state, his consumption increased.
This consumption wasn’t merely of demonic energy but of the golden energy within.
The more intense the battle.
The more demonic energy absorbed.
The greater the consumption of the golden energy stored in the sea of consciousness protecting the spirit and soul, and tucked within the heart guarding it.
The golden energy nestled within the heart was manageable.
Once using Demon Transformation, turning to a demon state, the golden energy within would be forced to retreat to the heart.
The difficult part was the golden energy in the sea of consciousness.
Lin Zheyu spent years, with the patience of stone-carving water droplets, accumulating such vast golden energy in the sea of consciousness, bit by bit.
He had no intention of wasting this golden energy on meaningless matters.
Woo woo woo woo~~~
The black wind howled.
The obliterating winds blowing seemed to freeze one’s soul.
Lin Zheyu hovered in the dark void.
Facing the whistling black wind, he smiled slightly, as if feeling nothing.
Through nurturing by two Divine Treasure Skills, even without unlocking the spiritual treasure, Lin Zheyu’s physique had reached an astonishing strength.
Entering Golden Core, weaker cultivators, without using powerful magical treasures or secret techniques, couldn’t even breach his defense.
Only tickling Lin Zheyu.
The little black wind was even less of a concern.
Lin Zheyu looked at the data in his consciousness.
