The Void was boundless and vast. The passage of time did not leave any traces in the Void.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed since Chen Zong discovered the Evil God Tribe.
In this year, Chen Zong had traveled more than thirty times and killed seven members of the Evil God Tribe. Apart from the Evil God Tribe's godly soul that was swallowed by the strange black shadow at the beginning, Chen Zong sealed four groups of godly souls with the Soul Sealing Technique.
As for the strange black shadow, it disappeared after being hit by the Soul Sealing Technique formed by Chen Zong's nine Soul Locks. It never appeared again, as if it had really disappeared.
However, Chen Zong would not let his guard down. He knew very well that even if he could not sense it, the strange black shadow was definitely still there. It was just that he did not know when it would suddenly appear and cause him trouble again.
In this year, Chen Zong's cultivation was still at the second transformation of the Dao Controlling Realm and the second transformation of the Divine Body Realm. However, his control and application of his own power had improved a lot.
When one's cultivation reached the Illuminating Realm, it became very difficult to improve. Some cultivators who were less talented and did not have many opportunities might not be able to improve their cultivation by one transformation even after hundreds of years.
In general, when one's cultivation reached the Illuminating Realm, the gap would be widened again. Some cultivators might be able to improve their cultivation by one transformation in a few years, but some would need more than ten years or even decades. Some would need hundreds of years.
Chen Zong had only broken through to the Illuminating Realm a few years ago. Now that he was at the second transformation, he could be considered to have reached the peak of the second transformation. One more step and he would be at the third transformation. In the entire Void, this speed was considered very fast.
In terms of cultivation, the biggest benefit was to use the Heart and Mind realm of the Heart Sutra to drive the cultivation of the 33 Heavens of Mind. Under Chen Zong's unremitting efforts, he finally achieved results. Now, he could indeed use the Heart Sutra to help the cultivation of the 33 Heavens of Mind and build the Heart Palace.
Under such circumstances, the fifth Heart Palace was also successfully forged to completion.
However, Chen Zong found that the difficulty of building the sixth Heart Palace had increased by another level. It was extremely difficult to reach the entry level.
Fortunately, he had also cultivated the first stage of the One Heart Sutra to the Great Accomplishment Realm. Now, he could cultivate the second stage of the One Heart Ten Intents.
However, as soon as he tried, Chen Zong realized that it was extremely difficult to concentrate on ten intents at once.
The essence of One Mind and Ten Intents was multitasking, and multitasking was not too difficult for Chen Zong.
However, the Heart Sutra's Ten Intents of One Heart was completely different from normal multitasking.
This was because the Heart Sutra's Ten Intents of One Heart was the foundation of One Heart and Single-Minded Intent. The mystery of One Heart and Single-Minded Intent was to focus all of one's attention on one point. The Heart Sutra's Ten Intents of One Heart was an expansion of the foundation of One Heart and Single-Minded Intent.
It was as if a person's consciousness had been continuously duplicated into ten copies. Each copy was complete and flawless. While these ten copies were complete, they were also controlled by a single point of the soul.
As for multitasking, it was to divide one's consciousness into many parts. Each part would become incomplete, but only a small part of it. Complete and incomplete had completely different meanings.
Those ten complete wills still had to be controlled by his Light of the Soul. The difficulty was undoubtedly greater.
Chen Zong had tried many times, but all of them ended in failure.
"Why do I have to pursue the Heart Sutra from the start?" Chen Zong suddenly had an idea. When the path was difficult to walk down, one had to find a way to adapt.
It was difficult to achieve the Heart Sutra in one go. In that case, why not try lowering the difficulty?
For example, starting with the Heart Sutra.
After trying, although it was still difficult, Chen Zong could feel that the difficulty had decreased by a lot.
The Heart Sutra!
It was as if one's consciousness had been divided into two parts. Not only were these two parts complete, but they also existed independently. It was as if he had become two different people. It was very magical.
However, these two independent and complete consciousnesses were completely controlled by him. It was as if he had become two complete people in an instant.
Chen Zong tried to comprehend the Mystical Power using the Heart Sutra. He realized that he could comprehend two Mystical Powers at the same time without interfering with each other. However, the consumption of mental strength was very shocking. It was twice the consumption of mental strength when activating the Heart Sutra.
In this case, if he were to use the Heart Sutra, wouldn't the consumption of mental strength be ten times faster than when he was using the Heart Sutra?
This meant that he would not be able to activate the Heart Sutra for a long time.
As for the Heart Sutra of a hundred or even a Heart Sutra of a thousand, it was even more terrifying.
Chen Zong estimated that the consumption of the Heart Sutra of a hundred Heart Sutra would be enough to empty his mental strength in a short period of time.
This also meant that the Heart Sutra could not be maintained for a long time. Especially when one's cultivation level was higher, the duration might be shorter.
Then, what was the meaning of the Heart Sutra?
Chen Zong was not very clear about it now. However, since it was the foundation of the Heart Sutra Palace, it naturally had its reasons.
The Heart Sutra consumed twice as much mental strength. However, Chen Zong's mental strength was very strong. Hence, he could sustain it for a longer time.
Suddenly, Chen Zong sensed a strange movement in the Nine Heavens Ring. It was a crystal ball that was trembling.
"This is …" Chen Zong took out the crystal ball and looked at it. He suddenly remembered that this was the crystal ball of the Spring Rain Brothel.
The crystal ball immediately emitted a burst of light. It was drizzling, ancient and profound.
In the end, a black-gold mask appeared in front of Chen Zong.
"You … you actually broke through to the Imminent Deity realm …" The black-gold mask was just a mask. No expression could be seen, but its tone was full of shock.
Previously, the black-gold mask had once recruited Chen Zong and promised that as long as Chen Zong served the Spring Rain Brothel for a hundred years, he would help him break through to the Imminent Deity realm within ten years.
From then until now, it had not even been ten void years. However, Chen Zong had already broken through. The black-gold mask could not help but be surprised.
However, being surprised was one thing. The Spring Rain Brothel had existed for a long time and was very ancient. It had seen a lot and was not too shocked.
"What's the matter?" Although he knew that the Spring Rain Brothel was mysterious and ancient, Chen Zong was not very afraid. This was because the Spring Rain Brothel was a very special force. It was a force that focused on transactions. It would not discriminate based on whether one's tone was good or bad.
"Chu Shanhe is waiting for your battle on the Wangyuan Planet." The black-gold mask said neither too fast nor too slow. However, Chen Zong seemed to hear a hint of mockery in the other party's tone.
Chen Zong was slightly stunned.
Chu Shanhe!
Wasn't that the young master of the Mountain River Planet's Chu Clan, the Hall Master of the Second Suppressing World City's Mountain River Hall?
After taking 13 million void coins from the Chu Clan, Chen Zong had forgotten about this person.
Now, Chu Shanhe actually wanted to challenge him.
Chen Zong could not help but be surprised.
"Chu Shanhe broke through to the Imminent Deity realm?" Chen Zong asked the question in his heart.
"Yes … and no …" The black-gold mask's answer was very interesting.
Suddenly, Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat. The other party was the Spring Rain Brothel. Perhaps, he could make a deal with them.
"What price do I have to pay to know the origin of the Evil God Tribe?" Chen Zong asked directly. As for Chu Shanhe, Chen Zong did not care much.
"The Evil God Tribe …" The black-gold mask suddenly fell silent.
Chen Zong also waited quietly.
"The origin of the Evil God Tribe is too mysterious. It is impossible to investigate." After a while, the black-gold mask spoke, his tone somewhat solemn. "The only thing that can be confirmed is that the Evil God Tribe has ulterior motives."
Chen Zong could not help but be a little disappointed. Even the Spring Rain Brothel could not investigate the origin of the Evil God Tribe. It was indeed very mysterious.
Of course, the Spring Rain Brothel was not omnipotent. For example, the Spring Rain Brothel did not know that Chen Zong was now a true disciple of the Will Heavenly Palace because they had not investigated.
There was no such thing as omniscient and omnipotent. The Spring Rain Brothel could know a lot of information because of transactions. It was also difficult for the Spring Rain Brothel to know some things that were too secretive.
Since the Spring Rain Brothel could not investigate, he could only rely on himself to investigate.
The black-gold mask disappeared, and the crystal ball returned to its original state. Chen Zong kept it in the Nine Heavens Ring.
Not long after, another piece of news came. This piece of news made Chen Zong move immediately. He piloted the Escape Ship and quickly headed toward Wangyuan Planet.
That was right, it was the low-level planet where Chu Shanhe had challenged Chen Zong.
Originally, Chen Zong did not plan to pay attention to Chu Shanhe. However, the news indicated that Chu Shanhe's whereabouts and actions in this year were somewhat abnormal.
Abnormal actions!
And he challenged Chen Zong. This meant that the other party was confident. There must be something going on.
In that case, Chen Zong would go and take a look. He wanted to see what this young master of the Chu Clan was relying on that made him dare to take the initiative to challenge him.
If the other party was seeking his own death, Chen Zong did not mind sending him on his way.
…
On Wangyuan Planet, in the Chu Clan's branch, a figure exuding a powerful aura sat on the main seat. Below him were the members of the Chu Clan's branch.
For a power like the Chu Clan, after many years, they would have a lot of members.
The figure exuding a powerful aura on the main seat was Chu Shanhe.
"Young Master, the resistance forces have basically been annihilated." Below him, a group of people stood respectfully.
In this year, they had seen Chu Shanhe's strength. He was very, very strong. He was simply invincible among the Demigod Realm.
The leader of the resistance forces, an expert at the peak of the Demigod Realm, had been crippled by Chu Shanhe with one palm strike.
The gap between them was too big.
They all thought that Chu Shanhe was already an Imminent God Realm expert.
"Don't let the remaining members go." Chu Shanhe tapped his finger on the back of the chair as a red light flashed in his eyes. Traces of a sinister aura instantly descended, causing everyone in the hall to tremble. It was as if they had fallen into a dark, bloody hell. They were extremely horrified.
It was too terrifying.
When they saw Chu Shanhe off, their faces were pale, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
"Young Master's strength seems to have increased."
"When he had just arrived a year ago, he was not so amazing."
"Young Master's rapid improvement is a good thing for the Chu Clan. It's also a good thing for us."
After Chu Shanhe left, the Chu Clan members discussed in low voices. Their tone was full of surprise. Of course, there were also doubts and curiosity.
In just a short year, the improvement was so obvious. It was really shocking. However, deep in their hearts, there were deeper doubts and fears. It was just that they did not dare to voice them out.
