Chapter 1042 - 347: Visitors from the Wu Family

Midnight.

With the sky completely clear, the bright moonlight poured into the courtyard.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves in the courtyard, the shadows of the trees swayed gently in the wind.

Lin Zheyu stood under the large tree in the courtyard, barefoot, stepping on the cold stone slabs.

His eyes tightly shut, he sharpened his perception to the fullest, silently comprehending the mysteries of the Earth Elemental Power.

It has been three days since Lin Zheyu returned to Flame Martial City.

After just acquiring the complete inheritance of the Witch Race, he couldn’t wait to begin comprehending the Witch Techniques once he returned to the Martial Alliance.

For three days, he hasn’t left his door, completely immersed in the comprehension of the cultivation techniques.

It must be said.

In the Martial Realm, not only is the Spiritual Energy richer than the outside world, but even the origin energy within the earth below, the Earth Elemental Power, is far richer than the outside world.

This makes Lin Zheyu eager to carefully explore what kind of energy the Earth Elemental Power is and what affects its richness.

The moonlight was like water.

As time passed, the mottled shadows of the trees moved slowly on Lin Zheyu’s body.

Lin Zheyu suddenly opened his eyes and sighed softly, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes.

"What’s the problem with the Witch Techniques..."

Lin Zheyu murmured quietly.

After experimentation, he found that even with the supplementation of the Earth Elemental Power, his cultivation progress still stalled.

This world seems to be missing some crucial Great Tao Rules, making cultivation for Witch Techniques extremely difficult.

It’s simply as hard as ascending to the heavens.

"Body Fusion Realm..."

"I had bragged earlier about returning before Mr. Qiong Yun’s residual soul disappeared."

"At the current rate, it’s going to be difficult..."

Lin Zheyu spoke wordlessly.

After the Secret Realm was completely closed, even though he possessed the bone talisman, without reaching the Body Fusion Realm in strength, he couldn’t enter.

This prevented him from even entering the Secret Realm to leverage its environment for cultivation.

"I’ll need to pay more attention to news about the Witch Clan Secret Realm; if things don’t work out, I’ll just enter other Secret Realms for cultivation."

"Perhaps, other Secret Realms, like the ones Mr. Qiong Yun established, have good effects on cultivating Witch Techniques."

Lin Zheyu thought.

For now, there’s no other choice.

His strength is considerable; in a few short years, he elevated his power to the brink of the Golden Core limit, even touching the threshold of the Nascent Soul.

But facing the problems of cultivating Witch Techniques, he had no solutions.

Even the powerful Witch Race experts who once stood at the pinnacle of this world had no recourse, helplessly watching the decline and eventual disappearance of the Witch Race.

Much less Lin Zheyu, who is a weaker Martial Artist.

"It’s been so long since I’ve tasted the delicious dishes at Profound Light Tower; let’s see if Bai Lin and the others are around and invite them for a gathering..."

Lin Zheyu thought.

He couldn’t wait to retreat into meditation as soon as he returned, not notifying anyone, impatient to try out the Witch Techniques.

After three days and nights of trying.

Lin Zheyu had to admit that even with his ability, with the aid of mysterious Source Power, he still felt somewhat powerless.

"Mr. Bai, Xiao Mou has returned. I wonder if you’re still in Flame Martial City. Let’s meet at Profound Light Tower."

"Mr. Zong..."

"Mr. Qiu..."

Lin Zheyu sent messages to his more familiar friends one by one.

Endless meditation and cultivation are indeed too dull and tedious; occasionally, one needs a balance between work and leisure.

"Haha, I was just mentioning you to Mr. Zong this morning, and couldn’t believe I’d receive your message tonight!"

A hearty voice came from outside the courtyard.

Soon, Qiu Kun strode into Lin Zheyu’s courtyard.

Having ended his meditation, Lin Zheyu unlocked the Guardian Array, opening the courtyard doors to guests.

"Please sit."

"Long time no see, Mr. Qiu, your aura has grown stronger again; congratulations, congratulations." Lin Zheyu smiled, offering a respectful gesture.

"Oh, not as much as you."

"Between us, let’s just talk about life, not cultivation." Qiu Kun waved his hand.

Having been humbled multiple times by Lin Zheyu, facing him, Qiu Kun lost the initial vigor he once had.

Discussing Tao with such a monster-like character, albeit rewarding, was truly uncomfortable.

Every exchange and discussion with Lin Zheyu, while he gained plenty of inspiration and enlightenment.

His dao heart suffered massively, becoming somewhat unstable.

He’s damn abnormal!

"Then let’s just talk about life."

"After being away for so long, I truly miss the dishes at Profound Light Tower. Come on, I’m treating today."

"By the way, is Mr. Zong around? Has she gone into closed meditation?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

Qiu Kun had just mentioned he saw Zong Linjing in the morning, but she hadn’t responded to Lin Zheyu’s message yet.

"She’s been kind of crushed by you, practically turned into a cultivation fanatic."

"Just returned for half a day, and after completing tasks, she left in a hurry to take more tasks."

Qiu Kun said with a bit of speechlessness.

Before, Zong Linjing wasn’t like this, though she was diligent, not to the point of madness.

It’s all because of Xiao Yu.

Facing Xiao Yu, the genius, the pressure was exceedingly great for them all.

Lin Zheyu: "..."

Lin Zheyu felt a bit speechless.

He shook his head slightly and left the courtyard with Qiu Kun.

"What about Mr. Bai, has he not returned?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Alas..."

"Mr. Bai is quite unfortunate; he suffered very severe injuries and is now in closed meditation for recovery. It might take about half a year for him to recover."

Qiu Kun sighed.

"What happened?"

"With Mr. Bai’s strength, there aren’t many who could injure him so severely, right?" Lin Zheyu furrowed his brow.

Bai Lin had activated two Divine Treasures; besides the Spiritual Treasure, both the Essence Spirit Treasure and Essence, Qi, and Spirit Treasure were opened.
