The Agonizing Pain of Despair

Being locked together with a Heavenly Venerable—unless he had gone completely mad, Luo Zheng naturally would never do such a thing.

However, after hearing A Fu's explanation, Luo Zheng immediately understood that the Desperate Shackles were indeed quite useful. Against an opponent whose strength was close to his own, once they were bound by the Desperate Shackles, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

Compared to the Roaring Decree, the Desperate Shackles were far more practical for Luo Zheng. After all, whether to bind someone, and whom to bind, was entirely up to him...

After stuffing the Desperate Shackles into the Sumeru Ring, Luo Zheng did not hurry to crush the remaining fragments. For now, he was more eager to study the cultivation technique his master had just imparted to him!

His master had directly poured the cultivation technique into Luo Zheng's mind. This technique had been created by his master, and its name had naturally been chosen by the old man himself: the Chaos Secret Technique. He had merely added the words "Secret Technique" after "Chaos," so the naming did smack somewhat of taking the easy way out.

However, just as a martial artist's strength did not depend on his name, the strength of a cultivation technique naturally could not be determined by its name either.

Luo Zheng had some hidden concerns about cultivating this technique. After all, the Palace Master had merely deduced it and had never cultivated it himself. But that was how the world worked: if many people had walked a road, the road would naturally be easier to travel, yet the benefits at its end would have long since been divided up among them.

The path Luo Zheng was taking now might be one no one had ever walked before
