Chapter 256: The Ecology of the Forbidden Sealed Object!

When Ta Ke felt his soul and consciousness were about to melt.

The scorching gaze power also dissipated.

Ta Ke immediately sat cross‑legged.

He entered the meditation state of the Old Steam Star Meditation.

The deity's gazing power melted the boundaries between Ta Ke's body, soul, and Transcendent State.

This allowed Ta Ke to enter a deeper construction of the Transcendent State.

He drew more of the Old attribute of the Old Steam Star, the World's primordial attribute, and the Steam Wizard sequence trait to build his Transcendent State.

Instead of using flesh and soul to forge the Transcendent State.

When the power of the Transcendent State occupies the primary life framework.

Ta Ke's survivability would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

Even if the soul is gravely wounded, the flesh is ripped away.

As long as the Transcendent State does not vanish.

Then Ta Ke can still retain a certain combat power and vitality.

And this is also one method by which Transcendents use the Transcendent State to resist curses and forbidden powers.

Ta Jing sat quietly in meditation, while time sped by.

Unnoticed, half a day's worth of time rushed away.

…………

Seated in cultivation, Ta Ke was fully immersed in the Star Meditation state.

Even in meditation, the steam swirling around Ta Ke still intersected with the surrounding world's cycles, allowing him to constantly perceive external information.

It was a world apart from the previous numb soul state that received no feedback from the outside.

Within perception.

The upper‑floor location.

The flame of the "Old Steam Star Book" ignited by the Crown Archbishop of the Dark Sun Church with Dark Sun divine fire has been extinguished by the gaze of the Three‑Eyed God.

Although some pages are slightly damaged, the Old Steam energy source is unhindered, continuously spewing out from within.

These spewed Steam energy sources.

A portion is incorporated into the already damaged meditation Star's cyclical ecology, repairing the Sequence Ecology Book.

Another portion is absorbed by Ta Ke, supplementing his own Transcendent State "Old Light Flame State".

Obviously.

That Crown Archbishop of the Dark Sun intended to destroy the Old Steam Star Book.

Alas… the Old Star books are gifts from the Old Angels.

The Crown Archbishop of the Dark Sun, his own power cannot easily destroy such a wondrous Transcendent treasure.

And the flame imbued with Dark Sun divine power burned a small part of the Old Steam Star Book, which was then doused by the gaze of the descending Great Three‑Eyed God.

The Crown Archbishop of the Dark Sun has a considerable impact on the destruction of the Old Steam Sequence Ecology Tree.

The Star Meditation Sequence Tree of the Virtual‑Real State was extensively twisted and destroyed.

But Ta Ke has already proactively built the ecological cycle spark here.

Combined with the Old Steam supplement from the Old Star books, the ecology is now slowly recovering.

He felt the Transcendent State construction was nearly complete.

Ta Ke then cut off the intake of Old Steam.

"【Old】【World】 and my own 【Steam Wizard】 sequence ecology, these three fundamental traits, construct my Flame‑Light Transcendent State."

"Currently, about one‑tenth of my life framework is supported by sequence power."

"Previously it was only about 3%."

"This is several times higher than before; the boost to survivability is significant."

"The deity's gaze yields astonishingly good results."

"It equals several months of my meditation practice."

"If possible, a longer gaze, letting me melt a bit longer, would feel even better."

"Unfortunately, the deity's gaze is not granted at will."

Accompanied by a soft exhale, Ta Ke opened his eyes.

At the same time, Bishop Ma Clarke, who was supporting the prayer ceremony nearby, slowly concluded it.

The lingering light of the deity's prayer ceremony gradually faded from Ta Ke.

Meanwhile.

That strange twisted interference sensation struck again.

This scene made Ta Ke furrow his brows.

"Didn't the deity grant purification to lift the Dark Sun God's curse interfering with me?"

"Why is there still interference? Though its intensity is lower than before, its power keeps steadily increasing."

Feeling the alignment, convergence, and feedback with the world gradually withdraw, the numbness silently swept back, and Ta Ke's complexion changed.

"Could it be that my faith is not devout enough?"

"The Great Three‑Eyed God cleansed me, but perhaps not thoroughly enough?"

Just as Ta Ke was astonished.

"I have some good news and some bad news; which side would you like to hear first?"

At that moment, Li Gen Qiao, the Archbishop seated opposite Ta Ke, slowly spoke.

Ta Ke's eye corner twitched, and then he slowly said.

"Let them come, intertwined!"

After a brief moment of thought, Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao slowly expounded.

"The good news is, the Three-Eyed God purified the Dark Sun God's radiance on you and lifted the Dark Sun God's curse's binding on you."

"Otherwise, the Dark Sun's power will continually erode your resistance, eventually leaving you utterly lost, even completely losing your self-consciousness, falling into a walking corpse-like Dark Sun fallen."

"The bad news is, you have already been gazed upon by the Dark Sun God, or rather, the Dark Sun God has marked you."

"The Dark Sun Ecology will regard you as a formidable foe; the Dark Sun Ecology will incessantly respond to the Dark Sun God's curse on you, thereby suppressing your spiritual perception and distorting the world's feedback to you."

"Just as you are feeling now, the power of the Dark Sun Ecology is responding to the Dark Sun God's curse, interfering with and distorting you."

"In the long run, the outcome remains the same: continual seepage deepens until you once again become a walking corpse Dark Sun fallen."

"The solution is actually quite simple: go south over a hundred kilometers, leave the area illuminated by the Dark Sun, and the curse's power will gradually fade."

"Alternatively, if your 【World】 trait is strong enough, the Steam Wizard Sequence Ecology can counter the suppression of the surrounding Dark Sun Ecology on you, and you will naturally no longer fear this Dark Sun ecological war against you."

Listening to Assistant Li Gen·Qiao's exposition, Ta Ke couldn't help but rub his forehead, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The core part of the god's curse has been resolved; that's already quite good, after all, that is not a force I can contend with."

"The remaining Dark Sun Ecology's hatred toward me, these are just marginal effects."

Feeling the endless seeping surge of the Dark Sun's distorting barrier around him, Ta Ke could clearly feel it was much weaker than before.

Ta Ke estimated that, even upon entering the ultimate steam burst state, he could still dispel some of the distorting power.

The power of the Transcendent Ecology is just like this: continually arriving, gathering, permeating.

And it is not that it comes up and directly crushes you to death!

"Avoid the Dark Sun Ecology zone, evade the illumination of the Dark Sun's light."

"If one's own ecology is strong enough, it can continually eradicate or tear apart the Dark Sun Ecology's curse on me."

"In the end, I am simply not strong enough."

"Overall, it will be somewhat tricky, but the problem is not serious."

"Perhaps... the gods intentionally did this to temper and urge me."

Put the curse issue aside for now.

Ta Ke looked toward Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao.

"Then... what about the curse of the Death Taboo Seal?"

At this moment, Ta Ke's intertwining with the world's context remains, and his perception of the world remains.

One can feel the terrifying death power emanating from the Death Taboo Seal, silently lurking around him.

Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao, after taking a deep breath, his face grew much graver.

"What I am about to expound next is the focus of this conversation."

"If the gods directly destroy the powerful death-level Taboo Seal's forbidden rule power on you,"

"the price is that you will incur the hatred of the Taboo Ecology."

"The hatred of the Taboo Ecology will prevent you from using the Taboo Seal; moreover, when a Taboo Disaster erupts, you will also be prioritized for attack."

"Are you willing?"

Ta Ke raised his eyebrows!

Taboo Ecology?

The hatred of the Taboo Ecology?

Unable to use the Taboo Seal?

"What the heck is this 'Taboo Disaster'?"

This string of specialized terms' exposition left Ta Ke utterly bewildered.

But Ta Ke faintly sensed some hints of deeper secrets of the Transcendent World.

Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao, examining Ta Ke, then began to speak slowly.

"Generally speaking, the Taboo Ecology, and even the infamous Taboo Star Curtain Association in the Transcendent Star Sea World, as well as the terrifying Taboo God, are information accessible only to high-level Transcendents."

"But this time, your situation is rather special, and moreover, the Dark Sun Church has employed extremely terrifying power to assassinate you."

"Under the gods' guidance, I intend to elaborate on this matter in detail for you, so that you may understand the profound depths of our Transcendent World's vast curtain, those unknown, terrifying yet real aspects."

The profound depths of the Transcendent World, a terrifying and real aspect!

Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao's profound and low-toned exposition, each word striking at Ta Ke's spirit.

Ta Ke then sat quietly in meditation, awaiting Archbishop Li Gen·Qiao's exposition!
