Chapter 693: Chapter 243: Primordial Golden Body

This exotic beast is the totem on Kui’s body.

The shadows of more than a dozen exotic beasts suddenly transformed into a luminous glow, swiftly forming a five-pointed star pattern in mid-air.

Within the pattern, the image of an exotic beast let out a terrifying roar.

"Not good!"

Lin Zheyu’s expression changed, this eerie scene gave him a bad premonition.

Boom—

Lin Zheyu did not hesitate, his True Essence exploded with a roar, his speed instantly soaring to seven times the speed of sound.

The surrounding scenery became a blur, so fast that Lin Zheyu could hardly make it out.

Boom boom boom—

At such an astonishing speed, he found it difficult to dodge, the massive True Essence condensed in front of him, forming a True Essence Shield.

Lin Zheyu crashed through, trees exploding around him.

Whiz—

The eerie glow moved with unbelievable speed, piercing into Lin Zheyu’s back.

Lin Zheyu felt a chilling coldness on his back, sensing a strange energy entering his body.

"So fast!"

Lin Zheyu’s expression shifted; he immediately halted.

He quickly sat cross-legged, the blood-colored True Essence within him surged toward the strange energy as if there was no expense spared.

The sound of continuous whizzing was accompanied by thunderous roars emanating from the energy.

Rustle rustle rustle...

A gentle breeze wafted through, and the rustling of the trees was incessant.

Lin Zheyu had been sitting cross-legged for some time.

His burly body, under the burning of the Blood Burning Saber Skill, had become as thin as a stick, with wrinkled skin.

"Phew..."

"Finally got rid of it, such an eerie energy, incredibly difficult to shake off."

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath.

That ghostly light had not harmed him, but it was incredibly strange.

Lin Zheyu suspected that this thing might be a curse.

It could also possibly be a tracking mark.

Even though it currently posed no harm, Lin Zheyu did not want this unknown energy lingering within him.

But the energy was too strange and persistent, Lin Zheyu had no experience or methods to deal with such eerie energy, and could only use vast True Essence to forcibly grind it away.

"Seems even the Barbarian warriors possess rather strange methods."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He had encountered three Barbarian warriors in total, but only the one before him showcased such eerie abilities.

This might be related to the special totem the other cultivated.

Lin Zheyu exhaled deeply.

He felt incredibly weak.

Two Spirit Stones suddenly appeared in his hand, Lin Zheyu closed his eyes, and his thoughts transmitted: ’Use one unit of Source Power to cultivate the Sacred Inference Spirit Skill.’

The familiar feeling came.

A vast mysterious energy surged from deep within his body, sweeping through the energy from the Spirit Stone, pouring into his body.

After burning a large amount of life energy, his shriveled body quickly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, he restored his previously burly and strong physique.

A few breaths later.

Phew~~

Lin Zheyu exhaled a breath of turbid air, waking up.

He flexed his fists, his physique had returned to its peak.

With a thought, his senses spread out centered on him.

"Seems those three have already left."

Lin Zheyu couldn’t find traces of the three.

With their techniques, it wasn’t easy for Lin Zheyu to locate them.

For now, he could only set it aside.

Returning to the Barbarian man’s corpse, spiritual senses swept out, and in no time, a sinister and ferocious storage bag floated out from the minced flesh.

Along with it were a black glove, a Wolf Fang Club, and five formation flags on the ground.

He couldn’t use the formation flags for now, but they might fetch a good price if sold.

It’s a pity that the magical artifact rope was severed, otherwise, it could have sold for a decent price.

"These two were quite capable, probably rather wealthy."

Lin Zheyu muttered.

His figure moved and vanished instantaneously.

...

In the main sect, amidst the picturesque courtyard.

Lin Zheyu and Liang En sat at a stone table.

"..."

"It’s a pity you advanced to Transforming Force; with your talents and potential, you definitely could’ve made it into the top twenty in this Hidden Dragon List challenge."

Liang En said regretfully.

Knowing Lin Zheyu had advanced to Transforming Force, he felt it was a real shame.

Liang En knew his talent had limits, and delaying his advancement to Transforming Force was merely to enjoy the auxiliary cultivation effects of the Hidden Dragon Order.

Lin Zheyu’s presence lightened the burden on his shoulders considerably.

Who would have thought, within a few months, news came that Lin Zheyu had advanced to Transforming Force.

"Nothing to be regretted."

"Fortune or misfortune, maybe this time brings unexpected good luck."

"According to my previous plan, I intended to cultivate Primordial Infinite True Skill to perfection before advancing to Transforming Force."

"With my talent, the chances of successfully cultivating Primordial Infinite True Skill to Transforming Force aren’t very high either."

"Without this experience, I would still be stubbornly stuck on Primordial Infinite True Skill, unable to let go." Lin Zheyu smiled.

Liang En smiled faintly, not dwelling too much on the matter.

"I heard the top twenty of the Hidden Dragon List can enter a certain Secret Realm in Great Wei, does Senior Brother know much about this Secret Realm?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

He was quite curious about the Great Wei’s Secret Realm and wanted to know what was inside.

"Secret Realm, huh..."

"Everyone who enters the Secret Realm has to sign a confidentiality contract; no one knows what’s inside."

"But as long as they enter the Secret Realm, most gain substantial rewards."

"Do you remember Xiao Shi? He seems to have had a fortuitous encounter, his strength has surged, and he’s also in the top twenty this time."
