Hearing these words, Lin Zhen couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air.
3.6 million lines were drawn with a single stroke. Moreover, there couldn't be any mistakes in the middle. This was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
He stared with wide eyes for a long time. His eyes were sore, but the more he looked, the more dizzy he felt.
"No, this isn't right. This kind of thing can't be seen with the eyes, but with the soul."
Lin Zhen's perception was very high. He quickly realized that his method was wrong and immediately changed it.
He used his soul to enter the picture and capture the source of the lines.
This process required Lin Zhen to use his soul strength to deduce and comprehend.
"3.6 million lines. If I deduce them one by one, I might be able to find them at 1.8 million. But this is the stupidest method. If I'm unlucky, then I might not be able to find the source even after deducing 3 million lines."
"I'll deduce according to my feelings."
Lin Zhen believed that he would quickly complete this step. But when it really came to this point, he discovered that this kind of deduction wasn't so simple.
He didn't know if other people's breakthroughs were as difficult as this. In short, the difficulty of the picture in front of him wasn't ordinary.
There were 3,600,000 lines, and just the first line alone was followed by 3,599,999 changes.
Even if he successfully deduced the first line, there were still 3,999,999 variations behind it.
If he wanted to take a shortcut, then he would need to enter a state of epiphany. When he felt good, he might be able to instantly draw several lines. But he couldn't always be in a state of epiphany.
The soul had to be constantly tempered under a high intensity operation. This was the way to cultivate soul strength.
Lin Zhen used a month to deduce the first line!
After a month, Lin Zhen suddenly had an epiphany. He drew nine lines in a row. Then, he was stuck for a long time.
*****
Three months later.
"This is really abnormally difficult!"
Lin Zhen temporarily stopped his deduction and allowed his soul strength to take a breather.
"I seem to have taken a few detours."
Although the deduction had been going on at high speed, Lin Zhen kept feeling that he was doing something wrong.
"The voice within this Soul Guard seems to be digging a hole for me. This line isn't naturally formed, but when it turns and twists, it doesn't give off the feeling of a pen at all. It's too sharp and fierce."
"Could it be …!"
Lin Zhen's expression suddenly turned cold. He thought of a possibility.
Swordplay!
These crisscrossing straight lines seemed to have traces of swordsmanship.
"The voice inside the Soul Guard said that every picture, every person will gain different insights. What I'm seeing seems to be the trajectory of a sword!"
"Could this be a set of sword trajectories?"
Lin Zhen immediately returned to the Dimensional Universe and started deducing again.
This time, his soul power directly simulated the sword's trajectory.
From the first stroke, what he used in his mind was not a brush, but a sword.
Swish! Swish!
Lin Zhen, who had already completed the fifteenth stroke, was waving his sword at lightning speed.
When he reached the fifteenth stroke, Lin Zhen felt like he had to spit it out. Under his high concentration, his soul power was released to the greatest extent.
Relying on his intuition, Lin Zhen found the correct trajectory among the 3.6 million lines.
Flashes of Sword Qi were shot out from the void, and lines were formed at lightning speed!
Epiphany!
Lin Zhen was now in a state of epiphany. The sword in his mind was like a hurricane.
100 lines!
500 lines!
3000 lines!!!
100,000 lines!!!!
This time, he waved his sword continuously for 500,000 times!
When Lin Zhen's soul power felt like it couldn't hold on any longer, he stopped this deduction.
The lines that were originally so densely packed that he couldn't see them clearly finally became a little sparser.
"As expected … these lines are Sword Qi. It's a picture of a sword."
With this understanding, this kind of boring deduction immediately became lively in Lin Zhen's mind. His mentality was different, and he didn't feel that it was tiring anymore.
"Rest for a while, then continue the deduction!"
At this stage, Lin Zhen knew that this first picture couldn't stump him. As long as he had some patience, within a year, he would definitely complete the breakthrough!
Completing the Spirit Guard had great significance. The increase in soul power had great benefits. As long as his soul strength increased, when his strength reached a certain level in the future, it would be a matter of course.
According to Pampas, in a specific star system, many people were stuck at breaking through not because their strength was insufficient, but because their soul strength wasn't strong enough. If their willpower wasn't strong enough, they would naturally be stuck.
And Lin Zhen's soul was strong. To be able to start learning the Spirit Guard in the Divine Stone Stage, it would definitely be a smooth road for him to advance in the future!
In the following days, Lin Zhen's mentality was calm. The long years of cultivation were already ordinary to him.
In five months, Lin Zhen successfully deduced 1 million lines!
In eight months, Lin Zhen deduced 1.7 million lines!
Especially in the later stages, when the lines were getting lesser, the deduction speed continued to increase. In ten months, Lin Zhen had already deduced 3.3 million lines!
In ten months and one day, Lin Zhen successfully deduced the first Fantasy Sky Catching Diagram!
"Open for me!"
With a roar, Lin Zhen used the Heart Sword. 3.6 million lines of Sword Qi intersected and shot out at the speed of light!
Following the birth of the lines, they were completely compatible with the Fantasy Sky Catching Diagram in front of him.
With a sword, the Inescapable Net disappeared. The stone steps to the top appeared in front of Lin Zhen. He could go to the second level now.
"Sky Catching Sword. Comprehending the first level of the picture not only increased my soul strength, but I also learned a group attack sword technique. With such a sword technique, it would be difficult for the enemy to escape."
"Achieved! After ten months of deduction, I've finally completed the first level of the Sky Catching Platform. I can go to the second level now. "
This also meant that Lin Zhen now had the basic requirements to become a Low-level Deity. As long as his Astral Power was full, he could break through and become a Deity.
Of course, Lin Zhen wouldn't break through so easily. However, his soul was one step ahead. This was already a fact.
After passing the first level, Lin Zhen's four elements of dark matter were finally upgraded. They were 198, 185, 174, and 160 respectively.
"Finally, I've improved. If I pass the fourth level, my four elements of dark matter will all be upgraded to 200. Maybe then it'll be time to breed a second doppelganger."
"Continue. The first six levels of the Sky Catching Platform correspond to the six stages of a Low-level Deity's soul strength. They are Early, Early, Middle, Late, Peak, and Limit!"
"If I can pass the second level of the Sky Catching Platform, it means that my soul strength will stabilize at Early Low-level Deity."
Walking along the stone steps to the top of the Sky Catching Platform, Lin Zhen came to the entrance of the first level to the second level.
As expected, the picture of the second level appeared.
The picture of the second level was a Torrential Rain Picture.
On the Torrential Rain Picture, there was a boundless wasteland with torrential rain pouring down.
The picture was a moving picture with a duration of five seconds. Lin Zhen was required to find the order of all the raindrops falling in these five seconds on this wasteland.
This was another perversely difficult requirement. Within five seconds, there were 4.9 million raindrops falling in the wasteland. Finding the order of raindrops was even more difficult than the previous intersecting light rays.
"Let's take it slow. I'll find the order first. One must believe in oneself."
Lin Zhen wasn't in a hurry. He re-entered the Torrential Rain Picture to comprehend.
*****
In the long years that followed, Lin Zhen entered a state of deep seclusion.
No one knew what Lin Zhen was doing, and no one disturbed him.
Year after year passed. Flowers withered and bloomed in the Meditation House, and the tides of Meteor Lake rose and fell.
Batch after batch of geniuses grew, and the battles and killings between warriors continued.
Lin Zhen stayed in the Meditation House. He no longer paid attention to the storms of the outside world and wholeheartedly entered his own cultivation.
There were several areas in which he was constantly improving.
In the third year of seclusion, Lin Zhen comprehended the second picture and entered the third level of the Skysplit Platform.
And in this year, Lin Zhen also swallowed some mental strength cultivation pills, increasing his mental strength by 10%. The emerald light in his mental strength reached 30%.
In the ten years of seclusion, Lin Zhen comprehended the third picture and entered the fourth level of the Skysplit Platform.
In these years, Lin Zhen's mental strength increased to 45%. At the same time, his water elemental avatar also officially entered the Immortal realm.
In the thirty years of seclusion, Lin Zhen comprehended the fourth picture. At this time, the intensity of his soul once again increased by leaps and bounds, reaching the level of a late lowgod. If he told others about this result, no one would believe him.
And his mental strength also reached 60%. At the same time, his water elemental avatar entered the Divine Transformation realm.
However, cultivating from the fourth level to the fifth level was not that easy. The picture for this level was a thunderstorm. Lin Zhen had to determine the degree of activity of the lightning photons within each bolt of lightning and make the correct sequence.
Facing the abnormal difficulty of each level, even if Lin Zhen was a heaven warping genius, it was still difficult for him to break through in a short period of time.
After a full hundred years, Lin Zhen was still stuck on the path from the fourth level to the fifth level.
What was worth consoling him was that his mental strength had reached 70% emerald light. He wasn't far from awakening Snow White.
It wasn't until the one hundred and ninetieth year that Lin Zhen could be considered to have made a real breakthrough.
After comprehending the picture, Lin Zhen's soul strength had reached the pinnacle of a low-level deity.
Lin Zhen let out a long sigh. He couldn't continue comprehending because he already felt the changes in the Divine World.
The Earth's Core Lake in the Divine World was about to complete its expansion. And his water elemental avatar had finally reached the Divine Stone realm.
Although it hadn't reached the peak of the Divine Stone realm, the water elemental avatar could already cultivate on its own.
With a star energy of nine billion, the water elemental avatar was more or less qualified to guard the Holy Land.
Lin Zhen had been waiting for this day for a long time.
He couldn't stay here forever. He still had to pursue a higher world, a wider world.
