The Lord of Void and Real

Shen Luo looked at the swaying big tree, then at the blue light circling around his own body, he grimaced. With a wave of his hand, a water arrow shot out from the pond towards his right leg.

When the water arrow touched the shimmering blue on the surface of his right leg, it burst open with a “plop” into droplets, while the blue light merely wavered for a moment before immediately returning to calm.

“Not bad!” A hint of a smile appeared on Shen Luo’s face as he complimented. Raising his hand again to summon another water arrow, this time he went all out.

The water arrow turned into a swift white shadow, making an ear-piercing sound as it broke through air. In a flash, the arrow was in front of his right leg, fiercely hitting the blue light barrier.

There was a loud bang!

The barrier shuddered violently, the rotating blue light on the surface triggered rings of ripples, like waves on the water’s surface.

Shen Luo felt a massive tremor in his right leg and had to take three steps back to steady himself. The magical tactics in his hands did not stop, urging the mana in his hand to enter the barrier.

The blue light on the surface of the Water Repelling Barrier flared up, the water arrow exploded suddenly, completely disappearing, while the barrier only flickered a few times before returning to normal.

Shen Luo eyed the layer of light blue glow on him again, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He hadn’t expected that the defensive ability of this Water Repelling Technique, apart from having the capability to repel water, was quite impressive. The arrow he just shot was equivalent to a full-on attack by a Qi Refining Cultivator, it seemed that even if he faced an attack from a Grain Avoidance Cultivator, he could resist a great deal of power.

He finally had a proper defensive spell!

Although he had used the Water-control Technique to form a water shield to block attacks, at most it was as strong as an ordinary iron shield, it’s nowhere near the Water Repelling Technique.

Shen Luo dispersed the Water Repelling Barrier with a tactic, then pulled out a bundle of golden rope from his bosom.

He had been unable to stimulate this object due to his insufficient cultivation level. Now, having advanced to the Grain Avoidance Stage, he could finally try the power of this magical instrument.

Shen Luo immediately began to run his skill, slowly infusing mana into the rope.

Initially, the golden rope did not exhibit any abnormalities, all the mana merged into it like mud into the sea without any effect.

But as the infused mana increased, the rope finally showed a slight change. Its surface began to emit spots of golden light. The golden light grew more and more, gradually connecting into a plane, making the entire rope gleam brilliantly.

Shen Luo’s eyes slightly brightened, but he was a bit hesitant.

Until now, he only knew how to use Talismanic Instruments, he still was completely clueless about how to run a real magical instrument. After all, the former’s use was similar to ordinary talisman, the latter supposedly contained prohibitions, requiring special methods to first refine it, before being able to operate.

“Let’s give it a try, if it doesn’t work, I’ll go ask someone.” Shen Luo thought, with his hands forming a tactic, attempting to stimulate the prohibition inside the gold rope as if operating a talismanic instrument.

But when he increased the mana infusion, he found something strange. It seemed that there was an invisible force within the gold rope obstructing the further infusion of mana, and the excess mana was directly overflowing.

“Without the method of refining, it really can’t be activated!” Shen Luo touched the golden rope and sighed, feeling a little disappointed.

If it were normal times, it would have been fine, but it’s not safe here in Longevity Village, who knows when a powerful Monster may attack. If he had a suitable magical instrument, his ability to resist enemies would naturally increase significantly.

Shen Luo sat in silence for a while, then once again began to infuse mana into the golden rope.

Just like before, the mana just infused into it was immediately blocked by a barrier formed by an invisible force.

But this time, he did not give up. Instead, he shook his arms, with six lines of blue meridian light appearing on the surface. He infused several times more mana than before into the gold rope in one go, fiercely smashing the invisible barrier.

But this invisible barrier was much tougher than he had expected. No matter how hard he tried to break it, it remained as steady as Mount Tai.

“I don’t believe it!”

Shen Luo snorted lightly, with all his strength he started the skill, all twenty meridian light bands around his body lit up. Mana surged out like angry waves, one after another, bombarding the invisible barrier within the gold rope.

However, until more than half of his mana was exhausted, the invisible barrier inside the golden rope showed no signs of weakening.

“It seems that such a thing as a magical instrument cannot be obtained with mere brute force.” While thinking this in his heart, Shen Luo began to run the skill to recover his mana.

Now that he had twenty meridians to absorb Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi, after calmness and silence, his mana was completely restored in just a moment.

Shen Luo picked up the golden rope, after a moment of contemplation, he infused mana into the rope again, and soon encountered the barrier.

This time he did not try to force a breakthrough, but diffused the mana as much as possible, surrounding the invisible barrier like layers of flowing water, slowly seeping in, moistening everything like water.

This time, the resistance of the invisible barrier within the golden rope to mana did not seem as strong. As time passed, some mana seeped in gradually.

“There’s hope!”

Shen Luo’s eyes lit up, continuing to run his mana, but quickly he frowned and encountered a new problem.

Although this method might be effective, it was terribly slow, comparable to a snail’s pace and required a lot of mental effort.

His mana was soon depleted by more than half again, and his spirit was a little tired, but the barrier only loosened a little.

However, he had already made up his mind, vowing to keep going until he achieved his goal. When his mana was drained, he would recover, and when his spirit was tired, he would meditate to rest.

Time flew by quickly, and a day and night passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the invisible barrier within the gold rope was finally on the brink of collapse, it was only a step away from a complete breakthrough.

Shen Luo knew that caution was needed as he neared the end. As always, he controlled his mana, seeping bit by bit into the depth of the barrier.

After half an hour, the golden rope lying silent in his hand suddenly emitted a bright dazzling light. Within the golden light, countless tiny golden runes the size of ants floated up, countless in number, forming a layer of golden patterned array, humming and pulsing.

Shen Luo opened his eyes, curiously eyeing the golden patterned array, before touching it with a tactic.

The golden rope slipped out of his hand with a “whoosh”, flew around in the air, as if a golden snake was darting around nimbly in mid-air.

With a single hand pointing in the void, the golden light flashed, and the golden rope flew in front of the big mulberry tree, wrapping around it, and immediately coiling a few loops around before rapidly shrinking.

Shen Luo looked pleased, beckoned with one hand and retracted the golden rope, coiling it around his right arm.

Although he didn’t understand the method of refining magical instruments and had merely relied on wearisome efforts to break through and control the prohibition, it was still far from completely controlling the rope, barely managing to activate it.

He could feel it, there were other prohibitions inside the rope, much more complex than the outermost layer, probably not something that could be easily broken through using slow and steady effort.

But without trying, he wouldn’t give up.
