The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1093: Unnecessary Hidden Danger Chapter 1096: Chapter 1093: Unnecessary Hidden Danger Shen Luo struggled to open his eyes and looked around.

The first thing that caught his eye was a vast expanse of unfamiliar verdant mountain ranges, one towering peak connected to the next, covered with dense green forests, devoid of any sign of human habitation.

At this moment, he was lying in a valley filled with devastation, the ground riddled with pits large and small, some so deep they were several dozen feet wide, still emitting black smoke.

The mountain walls on both sides of the valley were the same, covered in cracks of all sizes, even one area where half of a mountain peak had collapsed, with countless fragments of stone tumbling into the valley to form a small mountain.

“What happened here? Could I have done this?” Shen Luo furrowed his brows, muttering to himself.

He only remembered that in the last moments when the desire to kill nearly took over his mind, he used Yimu Xuandun to leave Qinghua Mountain, and after that, he remembered nothing.

“Right, the Qiankun Bag is still on me, the Ghost General should know what happened.” Shen Luo glanced at the Qiankun Bag on his waist, gathering his consciousness to communicate with the Ghost General.

His body was severely injured, but his soul power was not too diminished.

“Master,” the weak voice of the Ghost General came from inside the Qiankun Bag.

“You've been hurt?” Shen Luo's brows drew together.

“For some reason, Master, you suddenly erupted with terrifying Demonic Qi. Even with the Qiankun Bag as a barrier, I still got badly wounded,” said the Ghost General with a bitter smile.

“I see, I'm sorry for that. That was due to my loss of consciousness. Do you know what happened afterward, and where is this place?” Shen Luo asked, upon hearing this.

“I'm unaware of where this place is, only that after you arrived here using the Escape Technique, you began attacking wildly in the valley, as if… as if you were battling invisible enemies without any regard for your own safety,” the Ghost General said softly, a deep fear in his tone.

“Did I really do that?” A heaviness settled in Shen Luo's heart.

However, these matters were inconsequential; the most urgent task was to heal.

He took a deep breath, focusing his energy to mobilize the meager amount of mana remaining in the meridian closest to his Dantian.

Given the state of his body now, he could hardly circulate mana. Consuming elixirs would likely be of no use either, since he couldn't refine them, which meant he could only rely on others' help or slowly heal himself.

But in this Wildness Mountain, who would come to assist? Now, the Ghost General was also severely injured, and his ghostly Qi couldn't help Shen Luo heal.

Shen Luo shook his head, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged, beginning to circulate his skills on his own, straining to use the residual mana in his meridian to break through the blockages in his channels.

But the mana within this meridian was so weak that it took him an entire day and night to barely clear the blockages and connect with two other meridians, absorbing the mana remaining within them. The amount of mana he could control had increased considerably.

Knowing the severity of his injuries, Shen Luo did not grow impatient but lay there quietly, focusing on his healing.

Half a month quickly passed by.

A tenth of the blockages in his meridians had been cleared; though he still couldn't smoothly circulate mana, he could move without issue. He found a secluded Mountain Cave in these mountains and continued to heal with his skills.

By this time, the Ghost General had also regained some vitality, so Shen Luo released him to protect him during his healing process.

Another month went by before Shen Luo was able to clear thirty percent of his meridians, barely able to circulate the Small Heavenly Cycle.

Having waited too long for this day, he reached out for the Bodhi Fruit and swallowed it down.

Once the fruit entered his belly, it quickly dissolved under its catalysis into streams of pure and warm currents that traveled throughout his body. The stagnated meridians were swept by these currents and astonishingly began to clear.

After a day and night, Shen Luo, who had been sitting cross-legged without moving, suddenly trembled, spitting out several mouthfuls of dark bruised blood. His spirit, on the contrary, was greatly lifted, and his complexion improved a lot.

When the warm current subsided, over ninety percent of the meridians in Shen Luo's body had been unblocked, and the few remaining meridians were no longer a problem, soon to be completely penetrated.

“This Bodhi Fruit has such a miraculous effect on injuries to the meridians!” Shen Luo rejoiced inwardly and heaved a sigh of relief.

He quickly gathered his mind and sat down cross-legged inside the cave, silently operating the Nameless Cultivation Technique to completely unblock the remaining few meridians, then continued to circulate his skills, starting to search for the Demonic Qi within his meridians.

No matter how he searched, he couldn't find any trace of Demonic Qi. He then used the Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil to search, but still came up with nothing.

With his previous experience, Shen Luo didn't believe that the Demonic Qi had vanished; it was most likely lurking again, just like before.

At this thought, and recalling the uncontrolled incident earlier, he became irritable, his eyebrows nearly entwined.

Although that Demon Void Earth Dragon was formidable, its Demonic Qi shouldn't have invaded his meridians to such an extent.

Some time passed before Shen Luo finally relaxed his brows.

Now, considering why his meridians were invaded by the Demonic Qi was useless; the key was finding a solution. Otherwise, with this hidden danger, he would likely have no peace in the future.

After pondering for a moment, he closed his eyes and circulated his skills again, but this time he was using the Huangting Technique.

The Huangting Technique, the Sect's Treasure of Mount Fangcun, has a certain effect in driving away evil and breaking demons, and it might be able to force out the Demonic Qi in his body.

A brilliant Golden Light emerged, quickly enveloping his body, and two Golden Dragons and two Golden Elephants also appeared, circling and dancing in the air.

Shen Luo operated the Huangting Technique, with the Golden Light roaming and probing all over his body, but still he felt no trace of Demonic Qi.

“The Huangting Technique doesn't work either…” His mind raced, and suddenly he thought of something. He flipped his hand and took out an item, which was none other than the Slayer's Broken Sword.

This sword contained immensely powerful Pure Yang Power specifically meant to counteract Demonic Qi, evident even from the name “Slayer's Broken Sword.”

Past battles had already demonstrated this point.

Shen Luo gripped the Broken Sword, revolving the Pure Yang Sword Technique.

Instantly, a vast Golden Light gleamed on the Slayer's Broken Sword, turning the surrounding cave into a world of gold, with surges of Pure Yang Power flowing within the Golden Light.

Shen Luo urged the Slayer's Broken Sword, channeling this Pure Yang Power into his body. His entire body immediately felt hot, as if he were in a furnace, quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was profound, and his body was tough; naturally, he could withstand such pain, and he soon stabilized his mind to drive the Pure Yang Power of the Slayer's Broken Sword around his body in search of the Demonic Qi within his meridians.

Time ticked away, and Shen Luo's expression gradually grew somber.

A moment later, his fingers moved swiftly, and the radiance of the Broken Sword dissipated quickly, disappearing completely within a few breaths.

This attempt to probe with the Slayer's Broken Sword also yielded nothing; it seemed as if the Demonic Qi had truly vanished, without a single trace to be found.

Shen Luo had tried all the methods he could think of, and now he was at a loss.

“The reason those Demonic Qi bursts occurred earlier seemed to be because of that Jiuli Devil Armor; using that item should be able to draw them out!” he suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up.
