A flash of pale blue lightning streaked across the night sky.
The Black Tree Abyss is always in the dead of night. There is no light outside, only flying cultivators who bring their own bright spells to illuminate the surroundings.
Inside a secondary Clear Blood Hall.
Lin Hui sat cross-legged in the center, surrounded by layers of twisted natural radiation, while a subtle fragrance permeated the surrounding area, making the surrounding halls quiet and peaceful.
The faint fragrance slowed down all the Disaster Energy attempting to enter the main hall by 30%, and they were constantly eroded and transformed by the massive amounts of Wind Energy surging from within.
This is Lin Hui unconsciously training his ability to erode calamity creatures with Wind Energy.
At the same time, he modified one of the Authority Shadow so that as long as it enters a certain range of him, it will forcibly burn all unknown energy with the Immortal Fire, igniting and converting it into Wind Energy.
With the Authority Shadow, the transformation process was accelerated significantly.
Therefore, he also tested the limits of modifying the rules of Authority Shadow, the limits of enhancing the Immortal Fire, and the limits of accelerating the conversion of Wind Energy.
That is, a single Authority Shadow, increasing ninefold.
The rule of adjusting all Authority Shadow to auxiliary transformation has indeed reached an 81-fold increase, which is the limit. But it's not very useful. My current divine soul feels like it has far exceeded the limit of the same level. If it continues to grow, it will only be similar to what the Burning Shadow was like back then. But in essence, it will still be a pile of loose sand.
The figure, seated cross-legged, sighed slowly and opened his eyes.
Besides this attempt, he also tried to change the way the Existence Force is generated, but unfortunately... the Existence Force, a precious resource that even the Blood Seal needs, is not something that a mere Authority Shadow can shake, and the modification cannot be filled in.
Therefore, he had no choice but to settle for second best and use the Authority Shadow to accelerate Wind Energy conversion.
Now, in just one year, his Wind Energy has spread throughout the entire Black Tree Abyss. The immense Wind Energy has brought about an endless increase in his divine soul power.
Next, regarding the tense phase... according to the incantations in the Authority Codex, I need to explore another dimension to fully understand the connection between dimension and tense.
Lin Hui had thoroughly absorbed and learned the basic scientific knowledge of the three races, and also cultivated and absorbed a large amount of top-notch cultivation experience in various techniques and secret arts. Now, he naturally has his own understanding of dimensions and tenses.
According to the legal code, it all boils down to the comprehensive collection of information...
Lin Hui turned his head to look at the flashing lightning outside the window and directly activated the Supreme Omniscience Seal.
The scattered points of colored light gave him a sudden burst of precise insights.
In a state of enlightenment, one will have many inspirations, but the true power of the Supreme Omniscience Seal lies in discerning which ones are useful and which represent the correct future. It directly indicates which paths are viable and which are the truly accurate ones.
That's exactly how it is now.
At this moment, all of Lin Hui's knowledge suddenly condensed into a single point of inspiration.
He reached out and took out another black, apple-like fruit from the Black Token.
This is a specialty of Black Tree Abyss, the brain core of a monster called Insect Master.
At this moment, all the information about the Insect Master monster quickly flooded Lin Hui's mind, with the nine lifelines being the first to emerge.
But soon, under the flash of light, the lifeline faded, and then a massive amount of information flooded into Lin Hui's senses from all around.
trace...
Countless traces.
At that moment, he saw countless traces of the past remaining on the surface of the monster's brain core.
A scar on the side, left from an impact. A scar that even resuscitation cannot remove.
Slightly to the upper right, there is a subtle arc resembling tree rings; judging from the identification information of the Blood Seal, this represents the number of times it has revived.
The fact that calamity monsters can remember their own death and resurrection is itself a trace of the past.
Traces remain in their memories, which is why they remember that they were resurrected, rather than being completely unaware.
While everything seemed to have returned to normal after the monsters and Fusionist revived, certain changes in their memories within their souls still couldn't be spared... This revival, it seems, wasn't absolutely perfect. It wasn't entirely safe, except for the loss of cognition.
Following the record-keeping method of the Authority Codex, Lin Hui took this first step: carefully observing everything around him.
He has been doing this ever since he arrived here.
Now, after repeating it many times, he finally discovered the key point with the help of the Supreme Omniscience Seal.
At this moment, all the information about the brain nucleus merged, reshaped, and gradually filled in a completely new image of the brain nucleus from the past in his mind.
The immense divine soul and terrifying Wind Energy, moving at will, also condensed into another, relatively newer, brain core beside the original brain core.
Although it was just a simple gathering, Lin Hui felt a deep sense of joy.
Because he knew he had completed this first step.
He stood up and left the main hall, swiftly traversing the dark void where lightning constantly streaked across the sky.
It tore through space time and time again, appearing in different regions of the Black Tree Abyss.
Regarding the movement patterns of the Insect Master monsters, they prefer to wander aimlessly in the middle section of the Black Tree Abyss.
They are not entirely devoid of consciousness; they retain some survival instincts and have their own dietary preferences.
These calamity monsters, which seem to be completely controlled by the Wind Disaster, also appear to have subtle differences in details.
They maintain their bodies by absorbing minute amounts of Disaster Energy, occasionally preying on smaller monsters. Every three hours, they stop and camouflage themselves, hiding in the dark void, making them extremely difficult to detect.
Their entire bodies can change any color, physical characteristics, or aura. Even their souls can easily disguise themselves as various inanimate objects.
They despise Fusionist and Sect Master surprise attacks on Fusionist have never provoked before as they pass by.
As more and more information was gathered, these humanoid calamity monsters with two long tentacles on their heads became increasingly clear in Lin Hui's eyes.
Countless pieces of information and data have constructed a series of past Insect Master monsters.
To reach the level of understanding of tense, the first thing to do is to see the past.
As Lin Hui wandered around, his mind became increasingly clear.
A gaze has power, especially at my level. Simply focusing on something can cause enormous spatial distortion. Wherever my thoughts and consciousness touch, everything experiences tremendous fluctuations.
Therefore, when I focus on the past, I am essentially utilizing the trans-temporal and trans-spatial attributes of the soul to cross the brain nucleus that observes the past dimension... The more information I focus on from the past, the greater and more precise this influence becomes.
Two weeks later.
Lin Hui returned to the secondary hall, but did not interact with the other Clear Jade Mountain women who had returned. Instead, he continued his seclusion.
At this moment, he took out the brain core again.
In his field of vision, a series of faint images of brain nuclei had appeared densely packed around one side of the brain nucleus.
Each of these phantom images is a representation of its past.
Lin Hui's immense and terrifying spiritual power forcibly utilized a massive amount of past information to recreate the past of his brain core within his mind.
These are not physical entities, but rather phantoms existing only in Lin Hui's mind.
But if he wanted to, he could make them materialize in an instant.
At this point, the brain nucleus no longer resembles a brain nucleus, but rather a snake—a headless, tailless, boneless snake.
"Not enough..."
Lin Hui reached out and gently touched the last illusory image of a brain nucleus he saw.
The brain nucleus there has swelled to three times its original size.
This means that in the past, when the brain nuclei hadn't died too many times, they retained more instincts.
It turns out that monsters also possess consciousness, but their consciousness is reduced to mere instinct. First, they lose their reason, then their inherent instincts... and finally, even their instincts vanish completely, turning them into corpses merged with the Disaster Energy, only to revive when summoned...
Lin Hui understood even more clearly now the ultimate fate of the Fusionist.
"Palace Master, the sisters have some matters to report to you," Xiling Ghost's voice came from outside the palace.
She floated down to the ground slowly, wearing only a simple white veil that partially obscured her body; it was clearly a deliberate choice of attire.
"What is it?" Lin Hui was still focused on the tense, only sending a sliver of his consciousness to pay attention to the other person.
"It's about the Clear Blood Hall," Xiling Ghost said gravely. "We've been here for over a year, but something always feels off. We try to think it over carefully, but we can't quite pinpoint what the problem is."
"What about the others? Do they all seem to have a problem?" Lin Hui asked softly.
"Yes, mainly because everything here is going too smoothly. The danger level is completely different from the area we were in before. This is very strange. This is the front line, close to the Myriad Stars Tower. How come the danger level is lower here?" Xiling Ghost whispered.
"Furthermore... the steward of the palace who handed over the mission was also very strange; no one ever saw him do anything other than hand over the mission. He didn't even pay attention to us during any extra conversation."
"Have everyone come to me," Lin Hui said calmly.
He decided to examine the physical and mental condition of everyone.
He is now increasingly realizing just how extraordinary his evolved Eternal True Order Essence is.
Thanks to this inherent ability, he seemingly avoided some extremely big troubles.
Now, we can try to test Xiling Ghost and the others.
"Yes!"
Xiling Ghost nodded in agreement and quickly sent a telepathic message, instructing all the sisters waiting outside to come in.
Their current strength is far inferior to Lin Hui's, and their physiques are naturally vastly different as well. However, because Lin Hui habitually compresses his body to maintain his original shape, the difference is not as exaggerated as that between the other palace masters and their managers.
At this moment, more than 500 disciples of Clear Jade Mountain flew into the secondary hall, stood in the open space, and bowed to Lin Hui.
Their clothing varied, some wearing tight-fitting clothes that lavishly highlighted the contours of their sensitive areas.
Some of them wore super short skirts that exposed their midriffs, revealing their long, white legs.
Others wore semi-transparent bikinis, not even bothering with acting, and flirted with Lin Hui.
There were over five hundred people, all of them fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs. Their curves varied slightly, and their different cultural backgrounds led to different clothing styles and temperaments.
At first glance, even with Lin Hui's remarkable composure, he felt as if he had been transported back to the Mist Man World.
"Why are there only these people? Where are the others?" After glancing around, he looked at Xiling Ghost.
"They're all here?" Xiling Ghost asked in confusion. "What are you talking about, Palace Master? Weren't these the same people when we first arrived?"
"There were 782 people when we arrived, I remember it very clearly," Lin Hui said, emphasizing each word.
He stood up and scanned the five hundred people in front of him.
Where did the two hundred-plus people who are now missing go?
"My heart..." Xiling Ghost's expression changed slightly. She knew very well that Lin Hui was a person who never liked to joke.
He was relatively old-fashioned, saying exactly what he meant. But now...
"Could it be that this is what we've been feeling is wrong?" She turned to look at her group of sisters.
"Don't move. Don't resist. Open a gap in the protective spell."
