(Fifth update, Added 920 monthly tickets)_1 All the chaos happening outside, Lin Zhen didn’t have the time to care about.

After launching his boundary, he could only devote all his energy to dealing with the invasion of gold qi.

Every strand of gold qi was like a steel knife, iron needle, wandering in Lin Zhen’s limbs and bones.

But corresponding to those gold qi was a wisp of Cosmic Origin, wandering everywhere, smoothing the violent gold qi.

Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and endured for a while, knowing he couldn’t keep going like this.

…

“The wisp of Cosmic Origin is not infinite, it’s depleting as it smooths out the gold qi.

My only option is to grasp the True Meaning of Gold in the shortest time!”

“Only by mastering the True Meaning of Gold can I truly make use of this gold qi without causing the slightest harm.

This is my only chance to survive.”

Lin Zhen currently mastered the powers of three elements—Water, Lightning, Light, which are quite difficult to master.

However, the control of gold power is similarly challenging.

If Lightning is the most violent, then Gold is the most dangerous.

Even most weapons, in essence, are a form of gold.

The most direct cause of damage to enemies is not Water, Fire, Light, Thunder, but Gold!

When on Earth, Lin Zhen once understood the power of gold, even able to emit gold qi rays.

Later, the Gold Attachment Skill always followed Lin Zhen, played a significant role throughout his battle journey.

But what he mastered is just the superficial knowledge of gold.

Theoretically speaking, if one mastered the True Meaning of Gold, pure metal won’t be able to hurt them at all.

But in reality, most weapons are not just made of metal but also include many other odd stones and woods.

So even if you fully master the True Meaning of Gold, you can’t completely resist external damage.

As a result, fewer people practice the gold system than the lightning system!

The most challenging part for an average person to master gold is that the gold qi can cause fatal damage at any time.

After all, like Ci Wei, those naturally having control over gold are exceptional.

The method to control gold qi isn’t difficult to grasp, as Lin Zhen had previously discovered.

The essential hurdle is to overcome the innate fear of gold at the bottom of one’s heart.

While this seems simple, almost no one can do it when it comes to actual practice.

What is called overcoming fear is that the practitioner needs to practice their Two Seas with gold qi!

Dantian Qi Sea!

Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

The practice process requires the gold qi to break through these two Seas, penetrating every corner inside and out.

As long you don’t fear gold qi during this process and stay in a state of tranquillity, you would understand it.

But how to not fear gold?

Leave alone being attacked by knives and axes, for most people, simply seeing a needle about to pierce their vein will cause fear.

Some people with less courage might even cry.

The brave ones might keep a straight face, but they all still have fear.

Even if everyone fears it to varying degrees, they are afraid as long as they are still human, a living creature with blood and flesh.

Perhaps those stone creatures won’t fear since they don’t have nerves.

Unfortunately, such people with inherently limited understanding can never grasp the True Meaning of Gold.

Even for Martial Artists, even if they become Gods, their thinking is still from the perspective of a flesh and blood creature.

They can never overcome the fear of gold completely.

Some people dare to let gold qi penetrate their bodies, but they definitely dare not let it break their Two Seas.

Bodies can be destroyed and they won’t die.

But if the Dantian Qi Sea is shattered, they’ll lose Divine Power.

If the Spirit Consciousness Sea is shattered, they’ll lose their Spiritual Power.

This would the end of Martial Artists, almost no one dares to try it.

Throughout the history of the universe, many fearless Martial Artists tried to practice Gold Qi.

However, in the end, out of ten thousand, nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine fell!

They thought they weren’t afraid.

But in actual practice, as long as there’s even a slight fear in their hearts, they’ll never succeed.

This fear might be so hidden that even they are unware of it.

Those who successfully overcome it are usually people with unique talents or luck.

People who really overcome gold qi are too rare!

And now, Lin Zhen has no other choice.

He must try.

All the pain in his body, Lin Zhen can easily endure.

He embarks on his practice journey without fearing the torment of gold light penetrating his body.

However, Lin Zhen dares not let gold qi rashly enter his Two Seas.

Once failed, the consequences are severe and completely unbearable.

Before reaching the Peak, Lin Zhen doesn’t wish to become a cripple.

The first thing he did was to let the gold qi pass through his palm!

This wasn’t the gold qi actively passing through.

Instead, Lin Zhen forcibly controlled a wisp of gold qi and pierced it through his own palm.

The gold qi was as sharp as a needle, piercing through the skin and muscles.

Blood flowed out, and the wound healed again.

During this process, Lin Zhen furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

“I see…

there is fear in my heart.

The moment the gold qi was about to hit my body, my muscles involuntarily contracted slightly.

If my senses weren’t so keen, this minute contraction would be almost undetectable.”

“Don’t underestimate this minor contraction of mine.

It’s a sign of fear, although it’s almost imperceptible.”

Lin Zhen ignored the gold qi passing through his body and slowly closed his eyes.

“No, if I even fear the pain of the gold qi passing through my palm, how can I talk about practicing with the Spiritual Power to penetrate the Two Seas.

Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen, if you don’t have this ability, today’s battlefield will be your grave.”

“As a person who doesn’t fear pain, what’s this bit of gold qi to me!”

Lin Zhen abruptly opened his eyes, grabbed a gold light with one hand, and ruthlessly stabbed it towards his palm!

“Puff!”

As the gold qi passed through his palm, Lin Zhen’s muscles didn’t move at all.

“Success!”

Lin Zhen slowly breathed out, at that moment, he showed no sign of fear and decisively pierced through his palm.

This marked the completion of the first step.

“If I can face the piercing of my palm without fear, the same should apply to my hands, feet, and bodily muscles.

But what about my internal organs?”

Lin Zhen wanted to try the second step, to have the gold qi pierce through his heart!

The heart is different from the palm.

Some ruthless people might dare to stab their own palms or thighs during a fight, but few dare to stab their own hearts.

This isn’t a hard fight, it is suicide.

Lin Zhen’s second step is to pierce his own heart.

With his current near Undying Body, even if the heart is burnt to ashes, he won’t die.

But the fear deeply rooted in the marrow can’t be completely eliminated because of this.
