The Heart-Questioning Lock wrapped around the surface of Ye Zhen's Four-Colored Primordial Spirit like an incomparably greedy bloodsucking fiend. Even after nearly a hundred jin of Dongyang bloodline from the Dongyang Lineage had been poured into it, it remained a bottomless pit, showing no sign of collapsing.
Ye Zhen knew that his idea of prevailing through sheer quantity would not work.
However, it was not without changes.
At the very least, after nearly a hundred jin of Dongyang bloodline had been poured into it, the chains of the Heart-Questioning Lock had gradually begun to move away from Ye Zhen's Four-Colored Primordial Spirit. They were already close to the distance they had maintained when Ye Zhen was first locked by the Heart-Questioning Lock.
In other words, the Dongyang bloodline refined from the blood of direct descendants of the Dongyang Family could indeed delay the Heart-Questioning Lock's onset, but it could not eradicate it.
According to the Earth Core Fire Marshal, a single drop of Dongyang Si Chen's essence blood would dissolve the Heart-Questioning Lock.
Then the Heart-Questioning Lock was not a matter of quantity, but of quality.
In other words, only Dongyang Si Chen's essence blood could completely neutralize the Heart-Questioning Lock.
The sole benefit now was that the essence blood of the Dongyang Lineage could greatly postpone the Heart-Questioning Lock's onset.
Based on the Dongyang bloodline condensed from the bodies of one hundred and thirty-three direct descendants of the Dongyang Lineage, Ye Zhen could roughly deduce that the Heart-Questioning Lock's onset had been pushed back by somewhere between six hundred and eight hundred years.
Adding the remaining time from before, the Heart-Questioning Lock should not flare up for another eight hundred to one thousand one hundred years.
By any measure, even eight hundred years was a very long time.
Yet
