secret dice.

Chapter 835 Part 2
"A plan, my plan!"

Seeing his life-risking plan being torn to shreds, the monster went completely mad, his keyboard clattering and all sorts of curses flying out!

But the next moment, amidst the flying scraps of paper and characters, a hand reached out and grabbed its face with incredible speed!

what? !

The monster was taken aback and was about to unleash its power to fight back when it felt a ball of black flame enter its body. As the flame burned, its soul suffered unbearable torment, clutching its head and letting out a heart-wrenching howl!
At the same time, Luo Jun was not idle either. He grabbed the back of its neck with his other hand and pressed it hard to the ground. With a loud bang, the monster collapsed onto the floor!
He tried to struggle, but he was no match for Luo Jun's power. He tried to use his ghostly power to resist, but the burning black fire made it difficult to activate, so he could only writhe and whimper on the ground.

Seeing that his opponent had been subdued, Luo Jun took out the Spirit Prison, retrieved the golden figure, and attempted to activate it.

Soon, the monster was absorbed into the golden statue.

As the monster was subdued, the alternate dimension it constructed began to malfunction, and the surrounding walls began to distort.

"Could it be that another spacetime turbulence has occurred?" Cheng Hao asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, it won't happen this time." Luo Jun, who had put away the golden statue, walked over and said, "Only a space that is forcibly maintained will form turbulence when it is destroyed. Once this monster is defeated, the space will lose its source of power and will disintegrate on its own."

As soon as they finished speaking, the surrounding environment began to change, and a moment later, the group appeared in an office.

"Wow!"

A scream rang out, startling a girl in overalls who was holding documents, causing her to drop her things onto the ground.

Attracted by her scream, the other workers who were buried in their workstations looked up and stared at Luo Jun and the others in surprise.

"They...they appeared out of thin air!" The girl pointed at Luo Jun: "They just appeared like that!"

At this moment, a man who looked like a leader walked over and, mustering his courage, asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in our company? If you don't tell me, I'm calling the police!"

He was speaking to Luo Jun, after all, Luo Jun was wearing a strange mask and his appearance was the most suspicious.

However, Luo Jun ignored him completely and turned to Chu Yue: "You guys handle the rest of the trouble yourselves. I'm leaving now."

He walked to the French windows, broke the window, and jumped out.

This scene truly terrified everyone in the office. The leader hurriedly braved the strong wind to check, only to see that Luo Jun, who had just fallen, suddenly floated up again, flying away into the distance without any support.

"Oh my god..." The man couldn't help but pinch his cheek. "Did I just see Superman?"

After leaving Chujiang City, Luo Jun took out a notebook as he flew, turned to the page on the materials required for the Supreme Spirit Locking Pill, and crossed out the entry for powerful ghosts above the peak level.

While the previous female ghost likely met the criteria, this office worker ghost king was clearly of higher purity. Although Luo Jun felt he hadn't yet reached the level of ascension, he was undoubtedly among the top tier at the peak.

Then he turned to the page that recorded the opening times of the various worlds.

He now needs to gather materials, and the gates to [Utopia], [Deep Space], [Catastrophe], and [Mythology] are currently open. The gates to [Hell] will also open in a couple of days. Of course, with the Gate of All Worlds, he can completely ignore the opening times and go directly to any world he wants. But if conventional methods can solve the problem, he'll save his time for now.

After all, the number of charges has other uses.

Thinking of this, Luo Jun closed the notebook. It was a common-quality treasure he had acquired before. Apart from being able to fit into the treasure box and having more pages than it appeared, it was just an ordinary notebook, convenient for making memos.

Then, he took out a notebook and a truth-preserving camera, opened it, snapped a picture, and then took out a translation device to translate the page into text he could understand.

That's right. During this period, apart from the days he spent in the [game], Luo Jun has been taking pictures of a page of the Supreme Master's Notes every day or two. Including today's page, he has already taken pictures of all the Heartless Clan's techniques recorded on it.

Luo Jun's guess was correct. The first part of the Wuxin Clan's technique was about how to generate Yuan Qi, the second part was about how to use Yuan Qi to strengthen the body, and the third part was about how to expel Yuan Qi from the body and form Gang Qi again.

The problem is that he is not a true Heartless Clan member. While he could still draw inspiration from the earlier parts, he started to go astray in the middle part. His weaponization and the techniques recorded in his notes were only similar in principle, but the specific operational details were quite different, and they could no longer be considered the same technique.

Fortunately, judging from the later part of the text, although one needs to comprehend the middle part before attempting to release one's internal energy, it's not entirely a prerequisite for the middle part. Rather, it's more like two different advanced techniques derived from the earlier part. However, the later part is more difficult and requires some techniques from the middle part, so it's recommended to comprehend the middle part first before practicing the later part.

The techniques Luo Jun gleaned from studying the middle section were sufficient for him to begin attempting the later parts of the cultivation. Therefore, he had actually started studying the later sections even before entering the [Game]. Currently, Luo Jun's cultivation progress is not yet sufficient for him to release his internal energy. However, some of the techniques from the later sections are already applicable in actual combat. For example, his ability to grab those two fierce ghosts with his bare hands when dealing with them!

Previously, no matter how powerful Luo Jun was, he couldn't directly attack spirits without using his internal energy and mental attacks. But now, thanks to the techniques he learned in the later chapters, he can not only attack spirits without using his internal energy and mental power, but he can even touch them as if they were physical objects, which led to the scene where he grabbed a spirit's head and pressed it to the ground!
This is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the various advanced applications in the later chapters. If he could fully master it, and unleash his inner energy with the power of a saint, as described in the later chapters, Luo Jun felt that even without special powers, he wouldn't be far behind the gods in terms of strength. At least, he was confident he could confront the deified BOSS who had once made him cower in fear!

However, it is clear that, just like the problems in the middle section, the cultivation in the later section was not so smooth.

And this time, the problem seems to be even bigger.

According to the notes, the deity who created the cultivation method didn't just remain at the theoretical stage; he captured a large number of Heartless Clan members for experiments. Although the success rate was low, some Heartless Clan members did manage to refine their vital energy and temporarily strengthen their bodies using his method. Therefore, the content of the first and second parts is supported by experimental data. Furthermore, the owner of the notes improved the content of the first and second parts based on this experimental data, bringing them closer to perfection.

However, the latter part was different. He found countless test subjects, and among them, double digits could perfectly cultivate the middle part, but not a single one could successfully cultivate the latter part!
The closest to success is only like Luo Jun now, who can use some of the more peripheral techniques from the later chapters, but can never reach the point of releasing his inner energy!
Therefore, whether the Heartless Clan could release their protective aura was, even in the eyes of the owner of this notebook, that ancient true god obsessed with research, merely a theoretical conjecture.

On the last page of the later chapter, he honestly wrote that he had done his best to perfect this cultivation technique to the highest degree; theoretically, it should be feasible, or at least the idea should be correct. But for some reason, he couldn't succeed in reality. He could only guess that some key points were still somewhat ambiguous and lacked experimental results. If given enough test subjects and enough time, and using exhaustive methods to keep trying, he should be able to find the final, accurate solution.

Unfortunately, the small number of Heartless Race members could not support the sample size he desired, and in terms of time, the fall of the gods had already occurred before he could complete the experiment...

"Is it ultimately an incomplete cultivation technique...?" Upon seeing the final conclusion, Luo Jun was initially somewhat disappointed, but then he rallied his spirits.

"On the one hand, this technique is not yet complete; on the other hand, it has experimental results to support it. The second part, which was tailored to the physique of the Heartless Clan, should have a wider range of applications."

If cultivating a technique is like navigating a maze, the middle section already has an exit, but the exit is only accessible to those without hearts. After following the route to the end, Luo Jun discovered that for humans, the so-called end point was actually a dead end. Although there should be an exit for humans in the maze, it must have diverged from the current route several, dozens, or even hundreds of previous intersections, requiring him to go back and try again and again.

However, the later part is different. The recorded route does not actually point to the exit, but only indicates the general direction. The exit for both the Heartless Clan and humans should be in this direction. As for how to turn or go, no particularly clear route is given.

For Luo Jun, who is human, there are no stones to touch after cultivating to a certain level in the middle and later parts. It is hard to say which part is more difficult or less difficult. So what is there to be afraid of? Just rely on the dice to rush through!

As Luo Jun flew, he began to use dice to cultivate. Now he was no longer limited to the middle or later parts of the story. Whenever he felt there was a blockage, he would use the dice to find the optimal solution. In this way, after he used up all the dice rolls for the day, he finally returned to the gate of the [Supernatural].

Some were surprised that Luo Jun had returned so quickly, but the people from Puhua University didn't ask any questions and immediately let Luo Jun return to the main world.

Upon his return, he immediately contacted the Yuanxiu Society and learned that Wan Guiyuan had already made arrangements with the Holy See and the company, and that he could travel abroad at any time.

After considering it for a moment, Luo Jun decided to go to Xiluo first.

Unable to buy a plane ticket due to his identity, Ye simply took to the air and flew westward at cruising speed. In just two hours, he arrived within the territory of the Holy See.

Is this the location of the Gate to Utopia?
Luo Jun's last visit to Utopia was through the Gate of All Worlds, without passing through the main world. This is the first time he has seen the Gate of Utopia.

Although Xiluo is a unified entity sharing the same faith in the Father God, it is internally divided into several countries. The Gate of Utopia is located on an island nation in the northwest of the Xiluo continent.

This island nation is called Eglen. It is small in size and doesn't look particularly remarkable on a map. However, anyone with a basic understanding of world history knows that, thanks to its isolated geographical location, this island nation has remained untouched by war for many years. It has also developed advanced maritime technology, established numerous colonies around the world, amassed enormous wealth through plunder, and at one point led the world's technological revolution in modern times.

Although in modern times those colonies have all gained independence, and Eglen's territory is now only this archipelago, the accumulated heritage over the years has made it one of the most important and influential member states of the Western Roman Empire.

"Is it Mr. 'Night' from Aurora?" The Gate of Utopia was located inside a magnificent cathedral. The person who came out to greet Luo Jun was the bishop of this cathedral.

"I just received a notification from the acting Pope, and you've already arrived. Your speed is truly worthy of a Feathered Realm expert!" the Pope said with a smile. Although they belong to different countries and different forces, being a Feathered Realm expert is the most prestigious status symbol in the main world's cultivation circle. Wherever they go, they will be treated as honored guests.

"I heard you've been to Utopia before, but you didn't come through the gate. This must be your first time here," the bishop said warmly. "Our Eglen and Utopia's main country, Utopia, have many similarities. In fact, aside from some surreal steam technology, Utopia is like Eglen at its most glorious period over a hundred years ago. Both possess vast spheres of influence, world-leading technology, and are even ruled by a wise queen. I wonder how many days you plan to stay in Eglen this time? If you'd like to experience the local customs and culture, I can help you arrange your itinerary and create the perfect travel guide..."

“No need…” Luo Jun refused outright: “I’m just going to Utopia to take care of some business, I’ll be back soon.”

"I see." The bishop checked the time. "Although it's still daytime here, it must be quite late in Aurora, given the time difference. Would you like to rest for a bit and then go through the gate tomorrow?"

“I said no need…” Luo Jun waved his hand: “Just take me to the door.”

“Oh…” A hint of disappointment flashed across the bishop’s face: “However, I still suggest that you stay in Utopia for a day or two longer, because tomorrow is the anniversary of the founding of Utopia, and there will be a grand celebration. Such an important event in another world is a rare opportunity.”

Luo Jun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Your Excellency, let's get straight to the point."
