Chapter 1040 - 346: Return (Part 2)

He figured that even Mr. Qiong Yun hadn’t expected the environment of this heaven and earth to have deteriorated to such a degree!

"Exactly what is missing..."

"In the Consciousness Space, there’s no influence from this world’s Celestial Dao Will. In theory, with Chaotic Primordial Energy as fuel, cultivation shouldn’t..."

"Right, Earth Elemental Power!"

"I completely forgot about that..."

Lin Zheyu was slightly stunned as he recalled the Earth Elemental Power.

The inheritance he had received belonged to the branch of the Central Earth Ancestral Witch; what he cultivated was the Power of the Earth.

To cultivate the Power of the Earth, besides Chaotic Primordial Energy, one still needed to absorb a certain special Origin Power from within the earth itself.

Lin Zheyu called this the Earth Elemental Power!

"Troublesome..."

Lin Zheyu muttered softly.

His thought stirred slightly, and he vanished from the Primordial Pool, once again returning to the Demon River.

With a wave of his right hand, he put away the Primordial Pool, Array Disc, and array flags on the ground.

"I’ll shelve any hope for Witch Race methods for now..."

"Even if I leave the Demon God Barrier, the Earth Elemental Power out there in the earth is so thin it’s simply not enough to cultivate the Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill."

Lin Zheyu shook his head.

Fortunately, he had successfully broken free of one shackle.

His stagnated strength now had the possibility to continue increasing.

Every time he broke a shackle, his strength would leap forward a little.

But this didn’t mean it was over.

Breaking a shackle only meant the Martial Artist’s fleshly body had undergone a metamorphosis, transcending human limits and stepping into another tier.

As if a carp leaping the dragon gate, transforming into a true dragon.

Yet even after turning into a true dragon, it would only be a sapling among true dragons; it was impossible to instantly possess the overwhelming strength to stir the winds and clouds, to summon wind and rain.

Lin Zheyu’s current situation was exactly like that.

Breaking the shackle allowed him to continue cultivating and increasing his strength; once his strength grew to a certain level, he could keep breaking shackles.

And so the cycle continued.

"Since this heaven and earth is unsuitable for Witch Race cultivation, then I’ll shatter it, grind it down, decompose it to its fundamental essence..."

"Then, as with fusing magic patterns, I’ll merge it into the Martial Dao, making it a part of the Martial Dao!"

Lin Zheyu murmured quietly.

A lot of inspiration had already formed in his mind.

Thanks to that Flame Order the Alliance Leader gave him, Lin Zheyu had frantically absorbed all sorts of Martial Dao knowledge from the Martial Alliance’s Library Pavilion.

From those Martial Dao classics, Lin Zheyu had seen many Martial Arts Skills that incorporated fragmentary Witch Race knowledge and were created on that basis.

It was just that the creators of those techniques were limited by not possessing complete Witch Race inheritance, so their Cultivation Techniques appeared imperfect.

They had many flaws.

Though he didn’t think much of those techniques.

Lin Zheyu had to admit that those seniors were truly astonishingly brilliant; their creativity, designs, and whimsical ideas greatly broadened his horizons.

At the same time, they had brought him a wealth of inspiration.

Now.

The Witch Race inheritance was in hand.

Lin Zheyu had also obtained a great number of classics and Cultivation Techniques from Qiong Yun.

He was already qualified to create his own, stronger, brand-new Cultivation Techniques.

Yes.

New Cultivation Techniques.

Rather than the Primordial True Body.

For the Primordial True Body to advance further, it needed to continuously draw essence from Arrays, magic patterns, and Witch Patterns, turning them into his own.

Whether Immortal Tao Arrays.

Or Witch Race Witch Patterns.

For the time being, Lin Zheyu had no way to enhance them.

Within his body, only a complete Lifebound Witch Pattern had condensed.

To cultivate more Witch Patterns, he had to push the Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill to a deeper realm.

In the current state of heaven and earth, wanting to cultivate the Eight Desolates World-Suppressing Skill to a deeper level—

Lin Zheyu felt—

Even if he threw in a hundred units of Source Power, it probably wouldn’t even stir a few ripples.

"The path must be walked step by step, and food eaten bite by bite."

"The Body Refining Techniques within Witch Race methods contain all sorts of wonders; if they can be merged into the Martial Dao, they will absolutely allow the creation of unprecedentedly powerful Martial Arts Skills."

Lin Zheyu said to himself inwardly.

...

Wooo wooo wooo~~~

The black wind howled, kicking up waves of flying sand and rolling stones.

Within the pitch-black Demon God Barrier.

A mature, still-charming woman and a spirited old man followed the trail to this place.

"The aura cuts off here."

The Fifth Elder, Wu Jin, stood at the edge of the Demon River, his brows slightly furrowed.

Using a Secret Technique, he had followed the traces left by the bloodline Curse and tracked them here.

Looking at the filthy, wicked Demonic Energy within the Demon River, a hint of revulsion flickered in Wu Jin’s eyes.

Just standing here, he already felt an intense disgust.

It was truly hard to imagine what it would feel like to enter it.

"Are we going in?"

The woman standing beside Wu Jin, Wu Tongyu, deliberately brought up the unpleasant topic.

Although she didn’t know why that fellow who’d been struck by the bloodline Curse had entered the Demon River—

Since the other party had gone in, then they’d just go in and drag him out.

Their strength was formidable.

With such power, they could disregard the powerful demonic wills and energies within the Demon River.

"No need. We’ll just wait for him to come out."

Wu Jin gently shook his head.

Inside the Demon River, their Secret Techniques would be greatly affected; they simply wouldn’t be able to perceive the bloodline Curse.

Rather than enter the Demon River to search, it was better to wait outside.

After all, the other party was struck by the Wu Family’s bloodline Curse; there was no way to hide his tracks.

The Wu Family’s bloodline Curse had a remarkable origin.

It was created in ancient times by a powerhouse studying how to fuse mighty Wild Beast bloodlines into the bloodlines of the Human Race.

The bloodline Curse was incomparably powerful; it could simultaneously invade the fleshly bloodline and Soul Origin.

To clear it away was extremely, extremely difficult.

As hard as ascending to the heavens.

Even a Divinity Transformation powerhouse would have to expend massive time and effort to completely purge the bloodline Curse from their body.
