Chapter 1077 - 358: Vessel_3

Returning to his own courtyard.

Lin Zheyu glanced over the cold courtyard, not caring much.

His thoughts moved slightly, activating the courtyard’s array.

He casually found a spot in the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and with a slight thought, a bone token flew out of the Primordial Pool.

This was the bone talisman that Qiong Yun had given him back then.

His spiritual sense entered the bone talisman, traveling through the vast ocean of Witch Tao knowledge.

During the process of returning from a demonic state to human form, he re-experienced the process of condensing his Lifebound Witch Pattern, gaining more insights into witch patterns.

Witch patterns, in essence, are composed of foundational patterns containing the Rule Tao Rhyme Origin, condensed in a special manner.

The condensing method of witch patterns is precise and full of beauty, completely unmatched by Lin Zheyu’s crude Martial Arts Divine Pattern.

Since he couldn’t integrate the foundational Tao Rhythm Pattern that forms the witch patterns into the Martial Arts Divine Pattern.

Lin Zheyu could only change his approach, intending to borrow the precise construction of witch patterns to remold the Martial Arts Divine Pattern within his body.

However, his understanding of the witch patterns was still somewhat insufficient.

Lin Zheyu needed to seek out knowledge related to witch patterns from the vast knowledge volumes left by Mr. Qiong Yun, absorbing and digesting it for his own use.

Time slowly passed.

A day later.

Lin Zheyu slowly opened his eyes, awakening from cultivation.

He put away the bone talisman.

Lin Zheyu waved his right hand lightly, and Qi Blood energy entered the array, causing the protective formation to open instantly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, friend."

Lin Zheyu stood up and cupped his hands towards Zong Linjing outside the courtyard.

"Not long, less than a quarter of an hour."

Zong Linjing said blandly.

Lin Zheyu smiled, unconcerned with Zong Linjing’s nature.

The two left the courtyard and walked in the direction of the time-space node.

This time-space node was stable, the passage completely open, relying on the array engraved outside the node to resist the invasion from the opposite side.

But besides this time-space node, there are still many nodes deep within the demon lair.

Lin Zheyu and the others not only needed to resist the invasion from the opposite side of the time-space node but also the attacks from other nodes gushing forth demons.

The Martial Artist’s resistance to demonic energy is much stronger than that of cultivators.

Therefore, the Martial Alliance was responsible for the first line of defense closest to the time-space node, where the demonic energy was astonishingly dense.

Passing through one line of defense after another, Lin Zheyu and the others finally arrived at the central area of the city.

The defenses here were incredibly tight, with array restrictions alone opening Lin Zheyu’s eyes wide with amazement.

He looked around with curiosity, examining the powerful array restrictions enveloping the node, his eyes flashing with brilliant light.

This really is a great place!

"Not bad, the days of standing guard here won’t be boring."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

His perception with arrays was only average, at most above average.

But with the golden Celestial Eye being strong enough.

Possessing the Celestial Eye that sees through essence and being within the array, Lin Zheyu could quickly comprehend and grasp the mysteries of the arrays.

The Spiritual Celestial Eye made Lin Zheyu’s comprehension of already set-up arrays doubly effective with half the effort.

He had previously quickly comprehended the Little Heaven-Deceiving Array in a short time through this method.

"Are you interested in arrays?"

Zong Linjing asked curiously upon seeing Lin Zheyu examining the surrounding array restrictions with curiosity.

Martial Artists are almost all coarse and unrefined.

Even in exploring the path beyond the Shackled Realm, almost no one chooses a path related to array restrictions.

Array restrictions are an incredibly difficult path, even for cultivators.

Let alone crude martial artists.

"A bit."

"I was thinking if it’s possible to integrate array restrictions into martial arts and create rule runes belonging to martial artists, similar to witch patterns or magic patterns."

Lin Zheyu nodded with a smile.

Zong Linjing heard this, and his eyes turned strange as he looked at Lin Zheyu.

"Your ambition is really grand; I wish you success." Zong Linjing pondered for a moment, not knowing what to say, and could only offer a compliment.

"Haha..."

Lin Zheyu smiled at Zong Linjing’s expression, not minding it.

If it weren’t for source power, wanting to accomplish this would be nothing more than a fool’s dream.

"We’ve arrived."

Lin Zheyu stopped and looked forward.

Outside the time-space node, a handsome, fine-featured young man was sitting cross-legged, floating silently in the void.

"Mr. Wa... oh... truly looks young!" Lin Zheyu exclaimed with admiration.

As a martial artist, to have such a handsome and fine-featured appearance, it’s no wonder he attracted so many admirers.

"Mr. Wa took a Beauty Elixir in his youth."

"Although he appears young, like someone in his early twenties, his true age is over ten years older than Mr. Xia Ping."

Zong Linjing transmitted his thoughts.

They stood silently from a distance, looking at the young man in the void.

The man emitted an inexplicable aura, his eyes closed, seemingly cultivating some technique.

"Mr. Zong, you all have finally come."

"And this friend must be Mr. Xiao Yu, nice to finally meet you."

In the dark, a burly figure approached, smiling and cupping his hands towards Lin Zheyu and the others.

This person was Je Haomiao, the last Shackled Realm Martial Artist guarding the demon lair besides Lin Zheyu and Zong Linjing.

"You’re too kind; I’m Xiao Yu. Nice to meet Mr. Je, thank you for your efforts." Lin Zheyu smiled, cupping his hands back.

"Mr. Je, long time no see." Zong Linjing smiled, greeting him.

"It’s been indeed long; if you hadn’t come, I couldn’t have held on any longer."

"Fortunately, Mr. Wa’s strength is enough to share most of the pressure. Otherwise, I couldn’t have lasted until now."

Je Haomiao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

A hint of brutality flashed in his eyes but was quickly suppressed by his strong Qi Blood.

After staying here for a long time, even martial artists find it hard to withstand the invasion of demonic energy and demon will.

"By the way, what is Mr. Wa doing..."

Lin Zheyu looked at Wa Zhengtian in the void, curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Oh, Mr. Wa’s cultivating, practicing a special technique."

"But it doesn’t matter; he’ll awaken immediately in case of an emergency."

"Alright, I’ll leave this place to you. I need to hurry back to rest and expel the demon will and demonic energy inside me."

"This place is now up to you."

Je Haomiao waved his hand, walking towards the outside of the array.
