Chapter 943 - 317: Cultivation and Consolidation (3)

Within the soul body that had been prepared for a long time, a powerful soul power erupted.

The golden soul body suddenly leaped up, rushing towards the sky above the sea of consciousness, attempting to break through the barrier of the sea of consciousness and leave the body.

In the Demon Realm, after unlocking the Spiritual Treasure, Lin Zheyu’s soul body transformed into gold, solid and seemingly tangible.

At that time, he wanted to try to see if the soul could leave the sea of consciousness.

Just like a strong Divinity Transformation expert, the Primordial Spirit leaves the sea of consciousness, departs from the body, and exists independently.

Clang~~~

With Lin Zheyu’s actions, the golden shackles entwining the soul body trembled even more violently.

The vast golden energy in the sea of consciousness began to surge violently, stirring up waves of turbulence.

The entire sea of consciousness started to tremble slightly amidst increasingly terrifying sound ripples.

Cling!!

Suddenly, just as Lin Zheyu’s soul body was about to leave the sea of consciousness.

The golden shackles entwining the soul body instantly tightened, emitting a clang sound.

A powerful restraining force arrived.

Two golden shackles firmly bound Lin Zheyu’s soul body.

Waves of strange power spread from the shackles, merging into his soul, instantly suppressing the powerful force within Lin Zheyu.

Whoosh~~

Subsequently, Lin Zheyu’s soul body was suddenly pulled back by the golden shackles.

In an instant, the chaotic sea of consciousness returned to calm.

The two golden shackles entwined around Lin Zheyu’s soul body also slowly disappeared.

"The Heavenly Dao shackles actually have this function..."

Lin Zheyu looked at the golden shackles slowly disappearing on his body, feeling somewhat speechless in his heart.

He originally thought that the Heavenly Dao shackles were only blocking the path for his strength to increase, not expecting them to also restrain the soul in the sea of consciousness.

Lin Zheyu wanted to test if the current soul body could exist apart from the body.

But the shackles entwined around the soul body didn’t give him this opportunity.

"It seems that without breaking free from these shackles, no matter how strong the soul is, it can’t leave the sea of consciousness."

"But why is my soul wrapped in Heavenly Dao shackles, when I’ve never heard of this happening to other cultivators?"

"Is there something wrong somewhere?"

Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.

The Martial Artist primarily focuses on honing the body, using Martial Dao to refine oneself, pushing the body to its limits, surpassing limits, and achieving the transformation and sublimation of life.

The appearance of the Heavenly Dao shackles on the body is understandable.

But for the soul to have them too, that’s a bit excessive.

Yet in Immortal Dao, the soul is cultivated.

It has never been heard of in regards to Heavenly Dao shackles either.

From Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, to Nascent Soul, the Immortal Dao is all about preparing to cultivate a strong Primordial Spirit during Divinity Transformation.

Even Body Cultivators are the same.

It’s just that compared to non-Body Cultivators, they have an incomparably robust physique added to the mix.

Other cultivators refine Heavenly and Earthly Treasures as attacking or defensive Magical Treasures.

But Body Cultivators refine their bodies, turning their bodies into powerful weapons comparable to Magical Treasures.

The two have different paths leading to the same goal.

It’s just that one refines Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, and the other refines the human body, the different refining materials.

Many cultivation techniques flashed through Lin Zheyu’s mind.

He carefully combed through the differences between Immortal Dao cultivation and Martial Dao, inside and out.

Trying to find from within why his soul is entangled with Heavenly Dao shackles, but not for other soul-centric cultivators.

"Could it be..."

"Could it be related to the wisp of destiny Qi captured from the Heavenly Dao during the Golden Core cultivation process?"

This kind of speculation flashed through Lin Zheyu’s mind.

Not just the destiny Qi captured during the Golden Core process.

The existence of Nascent Soul and even Divinity Transformation levels may also be why the soul doesn’t have Heavenly Dao shackles.

"Starting from Immortal Tao skills is likely unfeasible, unless heading down the path of Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation..."

Lin Zheyu murmured softly.

The thought of Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation had just appeared and was vetoed by him.

A person’s energy is limited.

Even with Source Power, splitting focus to cultivate the Immortal Dao would significantly slow down Lin Zheyu’s strength improvement speed.

He is currently not strong enough to ignore everything.

In the demon lair, when facing someone like Sun Zhenzhi, with powerful backing and borrowing the Demon Suppression Army’s military formation, Lin Zheyu had to endure grievances and suppress his anger.

He doesn’t want to experience that feeling again.

Lin Zheyu wants to become strong!

Only mighty strength can allow him to fearlessly live the life he desires in this dangerous alien world.

Whew~~~

He exhaled lightly.

Lin Zheyu no longer dwelled on the soul matter.

The shackles entwined on the soul are extended from the ones entwined in the flesh and blood.

As long as he breaks free from the seven shackles within the body, the ones entwined on the soul will also disintegrate.

Whizz~~

A gentle breeze blew through.

A faint golden light shimmered on Lin Zheyu.

On his fair skin, mysterious runes slowly surfaced, becoming denser and condensing into splendid flowing golden scale armor.

In the Demon Realm, he had stayed for more than five months.

During this time, Lin Zheyu’s strength increased tremendously.

Faced with the surge in strength, Lin Zheyu hadn’t completely digested and absorbed it.

In the sea of consciousness, the golden Celestial Eye that awakened hasn’t been thoroughly studied.

Unknown territories of the Divine Treasure Realm.

The vast void hidden outside the Divine Storage Void Space is still unknown to Lin Zheyu.

He needs a long period of recovery.

While accumulating Source Power, he also needs to calm down and take his time to digest the huge increase in strength during this period.
