Chapter 451: Energy Circulation System (I)
In the pitch-black space where one could not see even their own hand, dense demonic qi, otherwise known as Baleful Yin force, stirred up terrifying gusts that howled in all directions. Blood-curdling roars echoed endlessly from the darkness. This was a world without light, a world like Hell itself, where no future remained. Everything was filled with deathly silence, eeriness, and terror. There were no changing seasons here, and no sense of time passing.An unremarkable figure stepped forward, his expression grave and his vigilance at its utmost. His right hand gripped a long saber as true origin surged within him. From the light behind him, he walked into the world of darkness.
"Hm?" Lin Zheyu reacted in surprise.
He looked up. To most, this place seemed completely dark, but to him, everything was surprisingly visible. It was only a little dimmer than outside, about a third of his usual vision without interference from demonic qi. Still, it was remarkable!
Is this the transformation in perception brought by a stronger physique?
After entering the demon god barrier, Lin Zheyu did not rush deeper. He stayed at the boundary, confirming there were no hidden dangers before proceeding. The moment he stepped in, he noticed something unusual. Compared to his previous infiltration, the oppressive force was far weaker, not even a tenth of what it had been.
His field of vision had improved dramatically as well. Before, he could only see less than a hundred meters around him. Now it was merely slightly suppressed. With a thought, his Perception Domain spread outward. Lin Zheyu found that its limitations had also eased.
Suddenly, Lin Zheyu frowned, his lips twitching slightly. This space-time node had existed for over two years, and the density of demonic qi here far surpassed the barrier he had entered before. When he tried to release his spiritual sense, he was met with a bone-chilling cold that seemed to freeze the soul itself.
Lin Zheyu shook his head slightly and muttered, "Without the protection of a Divine Power Crystal, spiritual sense really can't be used here."
He had long learned of the Divine Power Crystal's function. The mysterious energy within it could weaken or even eliminate the effects of demonic qi, allowing immortal cultivators to act freely within such environments without fear of corrosion. Unfortunately, Lin Zheyu had not discovered how to use it.
The method of using this special energy seemed to be common knowledge. Yet no one sold it in the markets, nor was it recorded in any texts. When Lin Zheyu tried to probe indirectly, it immediately raised others' suspicions. Not wanting trouble, he laughed it off and stopped asking. In the cultivation world, knowledge, techniques, and inheritance were guarded far more strictly than in martial cultivation.
Not only was it difficult to obtain high-level techniques or learn talismans, restrictions, alchemy, and formations, but even asking about basic knowledge could arouse suspicion. If someone had to ask about common sense, it meant their background was questionable and lacked proper inheritance. Such a person was either an enemy or someone who had stumbled upon great fortune. Either way, they would attract attention.
