Chapter 98 Choice
"Ugh……"

Feeling that the mysterious state just now faded away, Locke sighed.

He knew that he had lost an opportunity to increase his strength a hundredfold.

I don’t know how long it will take for me to enter a state where I can break through at any time next time.

In other words, I don’t know if I will have another chance to enter that mysterious state.

However, Locke does not regret his choice.

Locke has always made a clear distinction between the present and the future.

If I choose to break through, within ten thousand or one hundred thousand years, I will definitely be the most handsome guy in hell.

The strength of a six-star demon is considered strong in hell after more than a thousand evolutions, let alone now.

With Locke's strength after the breakthrough, it would not be difficult for him to challenge the palace lord and become the palace lord of one of the 108 palaces in hell.

After Locke becomes a superior god, his strength will be further improved to become a seven-star demon-level strongman, which will be even more glorious.

But what happens after that?

The difficulty of the mysterious fusion of laws is enough to trap Locke for countless years.

Perhaps, billions of years later, Locke will choose to take other evil paths due to the stagnation of his strength, and pursue the main artifact and the power of the main god, and give up continuing to integrate the mysteries of the laws...

The despair that could be seen to the end was enough to drive Locke crazy.

It was precisely because he still had a glimmer of fantasy about his future that Locke resisted the temptation of a hundredfold increase in strength and withdrew from that mysterious state.

Of course, Locke also felt some regrets at this moment.

If I had deprived myself of some of the soul fragments of the waves of water and the mystery of roundness and softness on the way before, and had gained an understanding of the mysteries of these two laws, then this mysterious state could allow me to reach "great perfection" in the laws of water?
Shaking his head, Locke slowly calmed down the restlessness in his heart.

Cultivation and practice are not just about increasing your strength, but should also be about tempering your mind.

At this moment, Locke had a new understanding of cultivation.

Closing his eyes, this time, Locke no longer tried to comprehend the mysteries of the laws, but to hone his own character.

Just as Locke's soul became pure after he refused to refine the golden soul bead when he faced Ceres for the first time after becoming a god, this time, the improvement of Locke's character also made the purity of Locke's soul increase again.

Although he didn't know what changes the purity of his soul would eventually bring to him, Locke had indeed felt the benefits of a pure soul.

Not stained by dust!

Of course, it’s not dust in the literal sense, but dust in the mind.

The soul is a very mysterious existence.

Even for Hongmeng, as the creator of the Hongmeng Universe, the souls of life born in the universe he created are extremely mysterious to Hongmeng.

Hongmeng can see through the fate of all living beings in the universe except those with "uncertain fate" through the Hongmeng Golden List.

However, he himself cannot create a soul that is exactly the same as a living being.

Just like Lin Lei, the protagonist of the Panlong Universe, even though he eventually became the controller of Hongmeng, the dead Doehring Cowart would never come back.

After sensing the emotional power born from the soul, Locke once again sensed the chaotic "thoughts" from his pure soul.

After slightly exposing his soul to these "thoughts" that were rejected by the soul, Locke instantly knew what these "thoughts" were.

"Take a break"

"I'm already so strong, what's wrong with enjoying myself?" "I really want to find a girlfriend"

"Kill, kill, kill. I will kill everyone who does not obey my orders."

These thoughts are the "fantasies" or "desires" that were born at some point in Locke's soul.

From the moment of their birth, these desires accumulated in Locke's soul.

When a certain "desire" accumulates to a certain extent, it will emerge from Locke's mind and dominate Locke's current state.

Just like the idea of ​​"taking a break", it is the most common "thought" in Locke's soul. In the past few decades, Locke was dominated by this thought, so he accepted Xiaobai as a pet.

He didn't even want to walk and just sat on Xiaobai's back.

And now, as the purity of Locke's soul increases, the useless "thoughts" born in Locke's soul will be eliminated autonomously by Locke's soul, preventing these "dust" from polluting Locke's soul.

Of course, Locke also knew that the ability of a pure soul to eliminate "dust" had its limits.

If he is not self-disciplined, the chaotic thoughts born in his soul will exceed the speed at which the pure soul can eliminate the thoughts. Locke's soul will one day be covered by dust and will no longer be pure.

"No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror."

"Always wipe it clean, don't let it collect dust."

At this moment, a Buddhist proverb from his previous life suddenly emerged in Locke's mind.

He felt that his current situation was just as described in Proverbs.

After opening his eyes, Locke's mind had completely recovered.

The mystery of the four laws, which were only one step away from complete fusion, allowed Locke's strength to be further enhanced.

If Locke, who had almost completely integrated the mysteries of the three laws before, possessed a strength comparable to that of a four-star demon, then now, Locke is no longer a weakling even among four-star demons.

"Perhaps, once I develop a move that can fully unleash the profound power of the four laws, my strength will be further improved..."

"But it's enough for now."

The power of the soul radiated outwards, and in an instant, Locke discovered the young man in white kneeling outside the door of the training room.

"This is, Xiaobai?"

"He has become a god?"

"Yes, after so many years, it is enough for Xiaobai to completely refine that godhead."

"I just don't know how much power Xiaobai has without the support of the rules of heaven and earth..."

The speed at which divine power is absorbed is related to the strength of the god's own soul and the degree of compatibility with the godhead.

The stronger the soul is, the more it fits with the godhead, and the faster it absorbs divine power.

The strength of Locke's soul power is not weak even among the seven divine planes and the four supreme planes.

Of course, if Locke reaches the realm of the upper god and his soul is once again tempered by the rules of heaven and earth, then the strength of Locke's soul power can be said to be very high. Unless the other party is a soul mutant, there are few who can match Locke in soul strength.

When one becomes a god on his own, the soul and the godhead become completely in harmony.

It can be said that in terms of absorbing divine power, Locke’s BUFF is almost fully stacked.

But even for Locke, it would take at least thirty years to absorb the divine power to fully restore his divine body.
