Chapter 432
432 – Gaining another mystical skill
After the elite metal zomple and the little skeleton were sent back to the netherworld, Han Shuo immediately left Mount Silk and returned to Brettel City.
This time when he returned to Brettel City, Han Shuo did not say much nor did he find out more about Brettel City’s situation. He only went to look for a few people in charge and talked with them for a while, explaining that he was about to train for a period of time.
While Han Shuo wasn’t around, Jack and the others had managed Brettel City excellently. Brettel City grew more prosperous with each passing day and everything was developing smoothly. After the twelve mystical demons surveyed the situation, Han Shuo understood that he simply didn’t need to not worry about the situation in Brettel City.
Now that Lawrence was on the verge of gaining authority over Lancelot Empire, Han Shuo believed that given his relationship with Lawrence, Lawrence definitely wouldn’t treat Han Shuo’s subordinates in Brettel City shabbily. Han Shuo knew his importance to Lawrence from Sabakas and Karel’s words. This was precisely why he would feel at ease to train in seclusion.
Once he ensured everything was in place, Han Shuo entered the secret room within his mansion in Brettel City and used the teleportation array to go to the Cemetery of Death.
The Cemetery of Death was filled with dense deathly aura throughout the year and was as dark and dusky as before. Han Shuo headed directly to the location where he had buried the elite earth zombie and discovered that under the nourishment from the place of extreme earth, the concaved chest of the elite earth zombie no longer looked that unsightly. It seemed that the place of extreme earth, which had nurtured the elite earth zombie, was indeed extremely effective in healing its injuries.
As soon as he entered the Cemetery of Death, Han Shuo immediately connected with dark dragon Gilbert. From Gilbert’s calm messages, it seemed that there currently shouldn’t be any situation within the Valley of Sunshine that Gilbert couldn’t handle. Hence, Han Shuo told Gilbert that he would be spending a long time to train.
Han Shuo was currently in the separate demon realm of the nine levels of demonic magic. Whether he could break into the carnal realm would depend on whether he could assimilate the enormous amount of energy within his body and if he could comprehend the frame of mind needed for the carnal realm.
As demonic practitioners paid more attention to forging the physical body, their lifespan was much longer than swordsmen and magi of this world. Even for Han Shuo who was in the separate demon realm, as long as he wasn’t killed or suffered from cultivation deviation, he could easily live for a few hundred years.
Han Shuo was stunned. Shortly after, he punched and kicked toward the sky. Han Shuo discovered that he could actually lengthen part of the bones in his limbs with his thoughts. His iron-like bones had gained a mystical flexibility.
What was particularly surprising to Han Shuo was that he could actually control the lengthening and shortening of his bones!
In other words, whenever Han Shuo threw a punch, his arms could suddenly stretch if he wanted to. If he was in close combat, such a miraculous ability to stretch his arms and legs would definitely catch his opponent off guard to great effect, causing his opponent to be unable to defend effectively.
Moreover, Han Shuo could faintly feel that ten centimeters weren’t the limit. It seems that with practice and a further increase in his strength, it could improve further. Han Shuo was ineffably appalled when he thought about what this meant. Such a mystical ability was simply something no human could possibly achieve.
There didn’t seem to be such a mystical ability within Chu Cang Lan’s memories. A demonic practitioner’s physical body could be very powerful and unnatural. At its most powerful state, even severed arms could be regrown. However, there was no knowledge of an ability where the limbs could be so flexible they could lengthen and shorten.
Han Shuo carefully thought for a moment and understood that this was perhaps because the little skeleton’s black resolute crystal and the demonic magic’s tempering had caused a mutation. He thought inwardly, every demonic art was created by man and wasn’t always the same and instead evolved with training.
Other than his bones becoming flexible, Han Shuo’s inner organs, as well as his flesh, was further strengthened. His meridian channels, in particular, had expanded by a shocking amount after being tempered this time around. The circulation speed of his demonic yuan energy was much faster than it used to be.
After examining his body with his consciousness, Han Shuo discovered that although his physical body had been strengthened, he still seemed to be a step away from the next realm and had not reached the carnal realm. However, Han Shuo could feel that he was extremely close to the next realm. As long as he had a moment of enlightenment, Han Shuo would immediately enter the carnal realm.
However, the practice of demonic magic was as such, where each realm was extremely profound. Comprehension could not be forced. The strength of Han Shuo’s body was sufficient, and his demonic yuan energy was also enough for him to break through to the next realm. As long as Han Shuo could comprehend the carnal realm, the demon infant will immediately mutate, and his consciousness will advance to the carnal realm.
Han Shuo gently exhaled, smiling bitterly as he sat down cross-legged again. He carefully went through Chu Cang Lan’s remnant memories. Unfortunately, even though Chu Cang Lan’s memories was complex, it didn’t contain definitive information about the comprehending the carnal realm.
Han Shuo realized that he would still have to depend on his own comprehension. Everything was ready and it all depended on his understanding of the next realm of demonic magic.
“Father, I’ve already recovered completely!” When Han Shuo was pondering silently, he suddenly received a message from the elite earth zombie.
Han Shuo was startled for a moment but came to his senses soon afterward. He turned around and realized that the naive elite earth zombie had left the place of extreme earth and was looking at Han Shuo from a short distance away.
The originally dented area on the elite earth zombie’s chest had returned to normal. It looks as if the elite earth zombie had indeed fully recovered.
“Very good, you’ve finally recovered. Next time, we will kill that bastard. I promise!” Han Shuo looked at the elite earth zombie and said solemnly.
“I know, Father has grown even stronger now.” The elite earth zombie transmitted.
“Alright then, I’ll send you back first. I’ll spend some time to research on a method to freely enter and exit your world. I think that soon after you return, I will be able to meet you all in your world.” Han Shuo smiled as he looked at the elite earth zombie and said.
“Ok, I miss my brothers as well. Father, please hurry and enter our world. There are many interesting things in our world too.” The elite earth zombie transmitted.
“Yes, I know!” Han Shuo replied and then sent the elite earth zombie back to the netherworld.
After sending the elite earth zombie away, Han Shuo didn’t continue pondering the issue of the carnal realm and instead started to examine how to utilize the skeleton staff to freely enter and exit the netherworld.
A serene luster gem and a black resolute crystal had separately been extremely beneficial to Han Shuo’s mental strength and physical body. Such beneficial items that only existed in the netherworld had aroused his interest. It also caused Han Shuo to understand that the netherworld filled with undead creatures, there was similarly many unusual treasures.
Most importantly, the little skeleton and the others were in the netherworld. The little skeleton had even named itself Han Hao, indicating that the little skeleton’s intelligence was becoming higher. Other than his skeletal figure, he was already the same as other highly intelligent lifeforms, possessing his own consciousness and could think clearly and make his own decisions.
Han Shuo was extremely concerned and also extremely curious about the little skeleton and the others. Only by gaining the ability to freely enter and exit the netherworld with his soul, could Han Shuo gain a greater understanding of them and even help the little skeleton and the others to advance faster.
