Chen Xian had not expected the backlash from deducing cultivation arts to grow increasingly severe. If it was not a lapse into madness, then it damaged the Jade Sea Furnace, or even injured his meridians and acupoints.
Fortunately, as flickering light and shadows flashed through his mind, the Vajra Dragon Elephant Art suppressed it, while surging vital energy repaired the damage. The Jade Sea Furnace returned to normal.
"Hoo!"
Chen Xian let out a long breath and opened his eyes, gazing into the distance.
"A cultivation bottleneck?" he murmured.
He had not expected even the system panel to have cultivation bottlenecks.
His current situation clearly meant he had reached one.
Deducing the Ox Demon Body Refinement Technique was no longer possible. He should slowly improve the Vajra Dragon Elephant Art instead.
Or perhaps he could deduce three martial techniques to break through the martial arts barrier. Advancing to a new realm might solve the problem.
He circulated his cultivation art and regulated his breathing for a moment.
Chen Xian stopped cultivating, rose to his feet, and sat down beside Ding Chen.
Ding Chen opened his eyes from cultivation and gave Chen Xian a strange look. "Something on your mind?"
"Nothing much. I was just curious whether there's a Demon Imperial Dynasty across the Blood River," Chen Xian said.
Ding Chen nodded. "The Demon Domain is vast. There really is a Demon Imperial Dynasty in its central region."
Chen Xian said, "No wonder. There are demons in the forbidden zones around Black Abyss too. Why don't they help the Demon Imperial Dynasty?"
Ding Chen said, "Even the human race isn't unified under one rule, let alone demons. Many powerful rogue cultivator demons heed no restraints whatsoever. Some even enter the Demon Imperial Dynasty to seize resources."
Chen Xian's eyes brightened slightly.
