Within the Mirage Dragon Pearl Temporal Space, Ye Zhen was somewhat stunned, somewhat surprised.
There was no response.
Ye Zhen had believed that after obtaining the circulation routes of the seven arts contained within the Heart-Questioning Lock, he should have acquired the Earth Core Fire Marshal's Heart-Questioning Art.
Yet after continuously circulating this complete Heart-Questioning Art for several days, the Heart-Questioning Lock showed not the slightest sign of coming undone.
By Ye Zhen's understanding, the Heart-Questioning Art should have been the key to the Heart-Questioning Lock. Once he found the Heart-Questioning Art, he should have been able to undo the Heart-Questioning Lock.
But now, there was no response.
Could Ye Zhen's deduction have been wrong?
"Or perhaps I still lack the Heart-Questioning Art's overall guiding principle?"
Ye Zhen could not make heads or tails of it.
Of course, these past few days of circulating the Heart-Questioning Art within the Mirage Dragon Pearl Temporal Space had not been without gains.
After cultivating through the circulation of the Heart-Questioning Art, that strange connection between him and the Heart-Questioning Lock seemed to have strengthened slightly, though it was still exceedingly faint.
But that was of no use whatsoever in Ye Zhen's attempt to break the Heart-Questioning Lock.
"A-Chou, A Yuan, Little Demon, Zi Ling, what do you think? Could my line of thought be wrong?" Shutting himself away to build a cart behind closed doors had never been Ye Zhen's style. Whenever he reached an impasse, Ye Zhen would think together with A Yuan and the others to seek a solution.
Over these past few days of cultivation, Ye Zhen had more or less figured out the root of the Heart-Questioning Lock.
The reason he could not break it should have been because the Heart-Questioning Lock originated from the forbidden person's own self.
