Martial Master

Buzzing sounds filled the air...

Parasitic seed roots wandered deep within Qin Chen's mind. If anyone could see these parasitic seeds inside Qin Chen's mind, they would certainly feel a chill.

The roots extending from the parasitic seeds resembled parasitic worms, like iron threads, slowly infiltrating Qin Chen's soul sea, attempting to root themselves with his soul.

Qin Chen had no choice but to halt his cultivation.

He had a feeling that if he forcibly broke through to the mid-stage Martial God, the parasitic seeds would undoubtedly react, with about a thirty percent chance that these golden parasitic seeds would attempt to seize his body.

He dared not take this risk.

Although if the parasitic seeds did try to seize him, Qin Chen wasn't completely powerless. Whether it was the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique or the mysterious ancient book that always appeared at critical moments, Qin Chen felt they might suppress the parasitic seeds.

But he didn't dare gamble.

Without facing a true life-or-death crisis, he was unwilling to risk his life on such a gamble.

Thus, he had to forcefully stop his cultivation, even halting the breakthrough to mid-stage Martial God.

This feeling made him uncomfortable. Clearly, he had a good chance of reaching the mid-stage Martial God realm, but because of the parasitic seeds, he had to stop. Now, these parasitic seeds finally began affecting his cultivation.

Qin Chen understood that until he resolved the issue of these parasitic seeds, it would be difficult for him to enter the mid-stage Martial God realm.

To solve the golden parasitic seeds, the big black cat suggested two methods. One was the Boundary Pearl, but since it was taken from the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, Qin Chen had been secretly inquiring about it with no news.

Qin Chen naturally had little hope in that regard.

The only remaining method was soul detachment. With the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique, Qin Chen had a deeper understanding and clearer insight into soul detachment, but merely understanding on the soul level was not enough. To achieve soul detachment, he had to cultivate his physical body to a flawless state.

As for how to cultivate to a flawless state, Qin Chen was completely at a loss.

He opened his eyes and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Chen Shao, what's wrong?"

You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue, though also in seclusion, had been keeping an eye on Qin Chen. Seeing him suddenly sigh, they immediately paused their cultivation and looked over.

"It's nothing. It's about the parasitic seeds. I feel like their threat to me is growing," Qin Chen said gravely.

"Are the parasitic seeds in your mind about to erupt?" You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue were shocked. They naturally understood what these parasitic seeds were. Qin Chen nodded, not saying much more, but instead extending his senses into You Qianxue's mind. He was immediately surprised because You Qianxue was only a step away from the mid-stage Martial God, and compared to him, You Qianxue's parasitic seed had shrunk significantly. The silver parasitic seed had contracted into a ball, not only without signs of seizing You Qianxue, but rather as if engaged in a difficult defense.

How could this be? "This person's mind contains a special power constantly suppressing the development of the parasitic seeds. In comparison, the parasitic seeds in your mind have no such suppression, allowing them to develop more smoothly. Moreover, the parasitic seeds in your mind are golden, dozens of times stronger than those in this person’s mind, naturally incomparable."

At this moment, Lao Yuan's voice resonated.

Qin Chen felt a sudden joy. Of course, Lao Yuan, as the source beast of the Demon Continent, would have exceptional insight into parasitic seeds and might even have a way to eliminate them from his mind.

So he immediately sought guidance from Lao Yuan.

To Qin Chen's disappointment, Lao Yuan didn't have any better solutions. As it previously mentioned, if the parasitic seeds in his mind were the same silver seeds as in You Qianxue, it might have the ability to break them.
