Chapter 507

She has no backup plan?

Half a month after using Gu Yao to resolve the nightmare.

Lu Xun had not yet seen the witch make another move.

It looks like the witch has given up.

But Lu Xun knows she definitely won't give up so easily.

That's right, she's waiting.

Lu Xun guessed the witch's intentions.

She is waiting.

Because Babala can't hold on much longer.

So now the one who is anxious is Lu Xun.

This half month, Lu Xun has been in the East, and the witch hasn't dared to venture into the East.

If it were before, when Lu Xun hadn't grown yet, she could sneak over and even kill Lu Xun, and it wouldn't be a big deal.

Now, she can't silently kill Lu Xun.

Naturally, she won't lightly step into the East.

Don't assume the Nine Realms of the East are all exploring within the Spirit Realm.

But there are still some tribulation-stage experts present.

These tribulation experts might not act, but no one wants to gamble.

"Boss, let me try again; maybe it will work."

This half month, Lu Xun has been teaching Bai Ling alchemy, trying to get Bai Ling to refine a fifth-grade saint-tier pill.

If Bai Ling succeeds, Lu Xun's alchemy skill should be able to break through to seventh-grade saint tier.

By then, Lu Xun will be able to refine seventh-grade saint-tier pills, allowing several bound targets at the seventh realm to boost their strength.

Only after Lu Xun's strength further increases will he have more confidence to deal with the witch.

With Lu Xun's personal guidance, Bai Ling's progress is still extremely fast.

In this process, Lu Xun discovered the wonderful use of his heart-penetration ability.

When Lu Xun himself is refining pills, he can activate his heart-penetration to share some of his insights and experience with Bai Ling.

This is far more effective than Bai Ling merely observing from the side.

This is not.

Bai Ling has already decided to give it a try.

"Sigh... Boss, I'm too stupid."

However, on the first attempt, Bai Ling failed.

It's not exactly a failure; the pill she produced is still a heavenly-tier pill, but it can't reach fifth-grade saint tier.

"Bai Ling, don't rush, keep trying."

Lu Xun encouraged.

"Hmm!"

Bai Ling nodded heavily.

While Bai Ling is refining pills, Lu Xun continues to observe the Fusang geniuses inside his inner vision space.

Over the past half month, five months have passed inside the inner vision space.

In those five months, of the remaining six Fusang geniuses, only one has not yet attempted to break through to the fourth realm.

The other five have all attempted to break through to the fourth realm.

Among them, two succeeded, three failed due to inner demons.

Now, it is the last Fusang genius's attempt to break through to the fourth realm.

"Here it comes."

At the critical moment of his breakthrough, the inner demon arrived.

This guy is quite tenacious; he actually succeeded in his breakthrough while enduring the inner demon.

This is the unique case among the eight Fusang geniuses.

"Eight geniuses, six encountered inner demons, five failed, only one withstood the inner demon..."

Lu Xun summarized the data.

His inner vision space has only a tenfold time flow, yet the probability of birthing an inner demon is more than ten times higher than outside.

That's likely several dozen to a hundred times higher.

Out of the eight, six gave birth to inner demons.

Only two did not encounter an inner demon.

Compared to the 99.9% probability of the Earth Core Secret Realm, it is indeed somewhat smaller.

But it is still astonishing.

"Fortunately."

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, he didn't rashly let Chu Youqing and the others enter the inner vision space to cultivate, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"According to Gu Yao's words, has the time domain also been tampered with?"

Lu Xun recalled Gu Yao's words.

Combined with his earlier speculations, his face involuntarily turned grim.

Some of his speculations may already be close to the truth.

Someone doesn't want the universe to spawn too many powerful beings.

So they used cosmic alien species to destroy all the ancient path nodes, i. e., the source grounds.

Then they also meddled in the time domain.

This is a bug that blocks lifeforms from using the time domain to rapidly grow.

"Who did this?"

Such methods.

This is not something ordinary people can do.

No, whoever can do all this is definitely not human.

It would have to be at the level of immortals and gods, likely beyond ordinary immortals and gods.

This move is too grand.

It spans the entire universe.

Even within time there are things.

Now this has become troublesome.

Such a perfect inner space, and yet it cannot be used.

"What if I use chaos cells to isolate the inner space?"

Lu Xun suddenly came up with a plan.

Use chaos cells to isolate the inner space.

After advancing to the Chaos Body, these chaos cells became even more potent.

Each one is essentially a piece of chaos.

The power of chaos is transcendent and beyond the material world.

If Lu Xun uses chaos cells to completely isolate the inner space, can things within time still perceive what's happening inside?

He decided to give it a try.

However, these few Fusang geniuses who have developed inner demons are now useless.

Lu Xun didn't kill them directly; instead, he released one Fusang genius, flicked his finger to knock him unconscious, then took out a magic treasure to examine his bone age.

This is Lu Xun calculating the lifespan loss of that Fusang genius.

Ten days inside the inner space pass as only one day outside.

Normally, the lifespan consumption inside is ten times that of the outside world.

This is normal.

Because one effectively lives ten times longer while inside.

What Lu Xun needs to calculate is whether there is any additional loss.

Measuring bone age is the easiest way to determine this.

"Indeed, there is extra loss!"

Upon this test, Lu Xun discovered that there indeed is extra loss.

The extra lifespan loss is about one twelfth of the actual lifespan consumption.

He tested another and found it to be also one twelfth.

In other words, the defects present in the Earth Core Secret Realm also exist in Lu Xun's inner space, but because time flows slower there, the defects are relatively smaller.

"That should be the reason."

The extra loss, together with the inner demon, likely stems from the same cause.

This is not a defect of the Earth Core Secret Realm.

Rather, someone has tampered with the time domain and placed something inside.

So that anyone attempting to take a shortcut through time will pay a price.

Thereby preventing a large number of powerful beings from arising in a short time.

With a thought, Lu Xun killed the other three Fusang geniuses whose inner demons had been damaged.

Killing Fusang people, he feels no psychological burden.

"Sir, spare my life."

The remaining three Fusang geniuses who had successfully broken through the Four Realms were terrified, scrambling to grovel on the ground.

The mighty one who captured them and brought them here is terrifying.

They have no power to resist.

"Sir, don't kill me; I am willing to offer my soul..."

Even some Fusang geniuses are willing to trade their souls for a chance to live.

Few of these Fusang geniuses are stubborn.

Who would choose death when they can live?

Lu Xun didn't kill them; he decided to continue observing them.

As for their souls, Lu Xun has no interest.

He lacks such methods; otherwise he could implant some marks deep in their souls.

Like the Heart-Devouring Mark that the Crimson Slaughter Demon Emperor planted on the Blood Tang Demon Emperor.

Used to control several puppets.

After dealing with the five deranged Fusang geniuses, Lu Xun made another trip to Fusang and stole away many Fusang talents who had just succeeded in opening their meridians.

The timing of Fusang's great examination is close to that of the East.

During this time, talents abounded, making it convenient for Lu Xun to act.

Even, Lu Xun also snatched away an imperial family genius—this was a Fusang girl.

Lu Xun didn't care if she was female; as long as she was a Fusang person, he showed no mercy.

This time, Lu Xun's handiwork was even greater.

In one fell swoop, he snatched away a hundred Fusang geniuses.

He scared Fusang badly.

Fusang's high-level officials dispatched the Eight Realms, wanting to find out who did it.

On the contrary, it let them find some clues.

"Lu Xun, did you go to Fusang?"

The next day.

Director Xu then came to his door.

"Fusang? No, Uncle Xu."

Lu Xun naturally wouldn't admit it.

"It's better if not; Fusang's side sent people to protest, saying you arrested over a hundred of their geniuses, even taking a princess from the imperial family."

Director Xu explained the situation.

He definitely suspected Lu Xun.

But suspicion is suspicion.

Even if it was Lu Xun who did it.

Director Xu would also favor Lu Xun.

"Is that so? That's what they deserve, Uncle Xu; you have to believe me."

"Mm, I believe you; don't worry, we'll withstand the pressure."

Director Xu already had the answer in his mind.

"I don't know who did it; such things should still be done less, as they would cause the Heaven's Path contribution to drop, but for this few people, even if the Heaven's Path contribution is high, it's not much..."

Then, he intentionally or unintentionally reminded Lu Xun.
