Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 846 Mysterious Characters
A mature cultivation system?

Zhan Zhouzhou became interested and got serious: "Tell me in detail."

Li Zheng found a place to sit down and tidied his words: "I guess it's not just you, many people are probably curious about why I can always come up with some strange things, right?"

"What's the big deal?" Zhan Zhouzhou seemed to have thought of this beforehand and said nonchalantly, "Everyone has their own secrets. This secret is related to your very existence. You can skip it and just talk about the important one."

"It's good that you understand." Li Zheng felt a little relieved: "To put it simply, after I was killed this time, I used my spiritual body to get some incredible stuff from the channels I used to obtain things. My ability to come back to life is thanks to it!"

Zhan Zhouzhou frowned deeply: "What kind of strange development is this? After being killed, you still have such a wonderful adventure? Who do you think you are? A male protagonist in a web novel?"

"Stop fooling around." Li Zheng waved his hand and lowered his voice, "What I got this time is similar to the cultivation technique Yan Bujin brought, except that this technique has the potential to be successfully cultivated!"

"What?!" Zhan Zhouzhou exclaimed, "Are you serious?"

"It's definitely true." Li Zheng shushed, "Could you keep your voice down? I don't want the terminal to know about this for the time being, so don't expose yourself."

"Okay, go on." Zhan Zhouzhou wasn't curious about Li Zhengdong's background at all; on the contrary, she was eager to see his martial arts techniques.

"The cultivation technique I obtained this time is called the 'Ten Thousand Demonic Technique'," Li Zheng whispered. "I did a simple study on it, and its principles are similar to the cultivation techniques that Yan Bujin mentioned, but there are also many differences."

"This Ten Thousand Demonic Technique requires the use of spiritual energy... oh, I mean spiritual energy, not the spiritual qi used in cultivation. Although the two are different paths to the same goal, both being a kind of energy that exists in the world, they may also have some differences in essence."

“In addition to the assistance of regular spiritual energy, cultivating the Myriad Evil Demon Art also requires something called demonic energy to be successfully completed.”

"I currently have two guesses about what exactly the demonic energy is."

"Firstly, there's the black aura that's everywhere in the Sinful Domain, a thing that can bewitch people's minds. Cultivating with that stuff would probably require immense willpower, and if you're not careful, you might end up getting burned."

"The second one is both far away and right in front of us."

Li Zheng pointed to the faint black hair of resentment behind him. This black hair of resentment had disappeared after his death, but it reappeared after his resurrection and continued to hang behind him. He could never find a way to get rid of it.

After listening quietly to what Li Zheng said, Zhan Zhouzhou nodded thoughtfully: "I understand. The reason you told me all this is probably to make me a guinea pig to test which one is the so-called demonic energy, right?"

"Uh... hey." Li Zheng was a little embarrassed.

It must be said that he did have similar ideas, but this was originally a mutually beneficial matter.

If Zhan Zhouzhou succeeds in her cultivation, she will be ahead of everyone else, even surpassing Li Zheng.

If she fails to complete the cultivation...

Since I'm going to die in a few years anyway, I might as well die sooner.

Besides, failing in cultivation doesn't necessarily mean death; at most, one will lose their mind and become insane.

“Actually, all you need to try is the black energy in the Sin Domain,” Li Zheng said, rubbing his nose. “After all, this thing behind me is right here, so I can try it directly.” “This matter is very dangerous. The reason I called you here is not only because of your extraordinary talent, but also because of your exceptional willpower.”

"Huh? What did you just say?" Zhan Zhouzhou suddenly paused and asked.

"I said you have an iron will." Li Zheng asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem?"

Of all the people Li Zheng had met, only Zhan Zhouzhou was the most hardworking in training, and he was on par with him.

Without an iron will, it would be absolutely impossible to endure such a long period of high-intensity, even self-torturing, training.

"Not this one," Zhan Zhouzhou waved her hand and said, "The one in front."

"This is dangerous..." Li Zheng's face darkened as he realized what was happening: "Good grief, you just want me to praise your extraordinary talent again, don't you?"

“That’s right!” Zhan Zhouzhou said smugly, “Since you admit that I have extraordinary talent, then I am the first person to cultivate this technique!”

As he spoke, Zhan Zhouzhou revealed a strong sense of confidence: "If anyone can master this kind of technique, I think I'm the only one in the entire outer city."

"You're getting cocky now that I'm calling you fat." Li Zheng said speechlessly, "But even though I called you here, you still need to think carefully about whether you want to take this on. After all, no one can say for sure what will happen after you start practicing this technique. Things might even get worse."

"No need to think about it anymore." Zhan Zhouzhou said in a deep voice, "No matter how dangerous the future may be, someone has to try. So why can't that person be me? Take out the cultivation technique. I'll write it down and then go to the Sin Domain."

Li Zheng looked at Zhan Zhouzhou for a long time, then slowly nodded: "That's more like what a female knight-errant should look like."

As he spoke, he retrieved the book "Ten Thousand Evil Demon Technique" from the system space and handed it to Zhan Zhouzhou. The book was different from the concept of a martial arts technique he had imagined. It was not a long and complicated book, but just two thin sheets of gold paper.

However, the text written on it is extremely profound. Even without deliberate study, one can understand the original meaning of each character with just one glance.

Zhan Zhouzhou was completely absorbed in the moment, her mind completely focused and unmoved by anything else.

Li Zheng had already witnessed the wonder of this script when he opened the treasure chest. If one wanted to summarize the civilization of the Blue Star with such a small script, it would probably take millions of words to explain it clearly.

These two sheets of gold paper contain more than thirty characters, and the amount of information they contain is terrifying.

Zhan Zhouzhou stared at the gold paper for three days and three nights without sleep or rest, her eyes fixed on it without ever looking away.

By the end, her eyes were bloodshot, but she couldn't bear to blink, as if afraid that blinking would disrupt her train of thought.

"Whoo~"

Finally, three days later, Zhan Zhouzhou let out a long breath, looked up from the golden paper, and said with a look of lingering satisfaction: "It's really mysterious... This technique can only be described as mysterious. I can't even completely replicate the content of the technique using any script on our planet, only this kind of wonderful script can carry it."

Even if Zhan Zhouzhou had memorized all the information about the cultivation technique, as if she had copied and pasted it, making it impossible for her to forget, she still couldn't write out similar text to leak the information.
