Chapter 942 - 317: Cultivation and Accumulation (2)

"Recently, I have also touched the threshold of the Shackled Realm, Mr. Gao, we should find some time to exchange ideas."

Lin Zheyu smiled as he spoke to Gao Zihang.

The Martial Artists who join the Martial Alliance are almost all enthusiasts of the Martial Dao, seeking to forge an unprecedented path in martial arts.

The Martial Artists in the Martial Alliance are nearly all pure Seekers.

Interacting with them is rather comforting.

"Mr. Xiao is also preparing to advance to the Shackled Realm?"

Gao Zihang’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Xiao Yu is dubbed as the number one under the Shackled Realm, and after the last vice hall master election, there was hardly any dispute about this title.

It can be said that Xiao Yu is now the number one under the Shackled Realm in the Martial Alliance.

Being able to exchange and spar with such a talented Martial Artist in the same era is also immensely beneficial for Gao Zihang.

"I have barely touched the threshold of the Shackled Realm; it’s still too early to break free from the shackles on me."

Lin Zheyu showed a slightly wry smile.

On him, not only have all seven shackles appeared, but they have also undergone anomalies.

The shackles have become thicker and stronger.

They have transformed into seven gleaming golden shackles.

As soon as he attempts to break any of them, the seven shackles resonate, increasing the difficulty of breaking free.

"You are too modest, with your talent, I’m sure you’ll soon advance to the Shackled Realm and become a member of the Elder Council of the Martial Alliance."

Gao Zihang said with a hearty laugh.

The Shackled Realm is the last realm in traditional martial arts.

Beyond the Shackled Realm, the realms require Martial Artists to research and explore themselves.

Each Martial Artist’s explored path is almost entirely unique, creating a Martial Dao path with their distinctive features.

In other words, beyond the Shackled Realm, there are no universally recognized Martial Arts Realms.

In the Martial Alliance.

Any Martial Artist who advances to the Shackled Realm can join the Elder Council and become a member of the Elder Council of the Martial Alliance.

The Elder Council is equivalent to the research institute in Lin Zheyu’s previous life.

"Thank you for your good wishes."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

The two chatted while walking into the Martial Hall.

Lin Zheyu hadn’t returned for half a year and needed to find out if there were any important matters in the Martial Hall that required attention recently.

He planned to see if there were any suitable tasks for him, to find time to complete the tasks required of him as the vice hall master.

At the same time, to accumulate some points.

Advancing to the Divine Treasure Realm and cultivating the Primordial Golden Body to Third-Layer Perfection had exhausted most of Lin Zheyu’s knowledge reserves.

The path of cultivation becomes increasingly arduous as it progresses.

It is entirely normal to be stuck for decades or even centuries at the bottleneck of a major realm.

Lin Zheyu’s current knowledge reserves are insufficient to support him in continuing to explore his Martial Dao path and advance to the Shackled Realm.

Having stayed in the Martial Hall for a while and understood some major recent events, Lin Zheyu then left.

He wandered around the Martial Alliance.

He also met with some of the Daoists he had previously sparred with.

Most of these people are martial arts enthusiasts.

Lin Zheyu very much enjoys engaging in frontier martial arts conjectures and academic discussions with these martial arts enthusiasts.

Martial arts enthusiasts have unique insights and understandings of the Martial Dao.

Although some of these insights and understandings may be obsessed with certain aspects, they often inspire Lin Zheyu with a wealth of ideas.

...

When he returned to his residence, it was already late at night.

At the turn of spring and summer, the large tree in the courtyard blossomed with abundant flowers.

A faint fragrance wafted through the air, enveloping the entire courtyard.

Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged in the courtyard, his mind momentarily ethereal.

Starlight filtered through the protective array outside the courtyard, sprinkling down on him.

Clang~~

A crisp, ethereal sound emanated from Lin Zheyu’s body.

Seven thick, golden shackles invisible to others condensed within Lin Zheyu’s body.

As the Qi Blood within him oscillated, the golden shackles swayed and collided, producing a crisp, ethereal sound.

These shackles pierced deeply into Lin Zheyu’s flesh, tightly binding his physique.

Preventing Lin Zheyu’s physique from becoming even stronger.

Among them.

Two shackles were somewhat different from the other five.

These two shackles extended toward Lin Zheyu’s head, merging into his sea of consciousness and coiling around his soul body.

"So these are the shackles of the Heavenly Dao..."

"Formed by the combined power of rules and some mysterious, strange force, becoming a formidable shackle force."

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

In the depths of his sea of consciousness, the golden Celestial Eye radiated dazzling golden light, fixating on the two shackles entwining his soul.

Lin Zheyu wanted to attempt to use the power of the Celestial Eye to analyze the seven shackles within him.

However, the shackles were far more mysterious than Lin Zheyu had imagined.

He could only simply analyze the constituent force within the shackles, which contained a formidable power of rules.

And several extremely mysterious, yet extraordinarily enigmatic forces.

This force, akin to a fog, was so intricate and abstract that it was completely beyond the understanding or analysis of Lin Zheyu’s current realm and strength.

Clang~

Clang clang~~

In the sea of consciousness, Lin Zheyu’s golden soul body trembled slightly.

The two shackles entangling the soul body emitted a crisp, ethereal sound.

Wave after wave of mysterious force rippled through the sea of consciousness with the ethereal, crisp sound.

Under the influence of this force, the vast golden energy in the sea of consciousness began to surge.

Even Lin Zheyu’s soul body resonated with this sound at a certain frequency.

"Out!"

Suddenly, Lin Zheyu mentally shouted softly.
