The entire shed shone brightly under the golden-white true energy, instantly illuminating it. The three people outside the shed looked at Chen Zhou's shed and felt that it resembled a large, glowing insect, like a golden insect crawling on the ground.

"Why is this fluctuation of true energy unable to break through this shed for so long?" Zhu Yuande couldn't help but ask, because what was happening before his eyes was indeed somewhat strange.

The true energy fluctuations within Chen Zhou's shed gave Zhu Yuande the feeling that the fluctuations were enough to lift the shed open, rather than being confined within it. If so much true energy had been confined within a shed, it would probably have caused an explosion long ago.

But Chen Zhou's shed was unusually quiet at this time.

"His mastery of true qi far exceeds our imagination." Ji Lanying could only give such a conclusion. Indeed, if one did not have a high degree of control over true qi, it would be absolutely impossible to confine true qi to such a small space at this time.

"It's almost done." Chen Zhou gritted his teeth in the shed, the five words almost coming out from between his teeth, because sketching this design had taken a lot of his energy.

Chen Zhou suddenly realized that controlling the true energy in his body was so difficult. At this moment, he felt as if the true energy in his entire body was resisting him and tightly restricting his actions.

Chen Zhou wanted to control the attraction between the lines of true energy, but to his surprise, the attraction only grew stronger.

By now, Chen Zhou only felt waves of fatigue throughout his body, and the pattern was about to enter its final stage.

This stage wasn't actually very difficult. Chen Zhou just needed to maintain his previous state, and then he would complete the pattern. Completing this pattern also brought him many gains. His control over his true energy was subtly improving.

"Smack..."

With a crisp snap, Chen Zhou stopped what he was doing, snapped his fingers, and said, "Done!"

"It's not that difficult..." Chen Zhou said slowly, then lay down and looked at the gleaming pattern above his head, immediately feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

"Chen Zhou, don't rush to draw the next pattern. As long as you practice this pattern diligently, your control over your true energy will improve significantly. It's not too late to practice the later ones after you've improved." Elder Ren said immediately as Chen Zhou finished drawing the pattern.

Haste makes waste. If you want to practice the later parts, you must first lay a solid foundation in the earlier parts. Only then will it be possible to practice the later parts.

Chen Zhou grunted in acknowledgment and then waved his hand to dispel the pattern in front of him. The shed immediately dimmed, and the entire area around the shed was filled with true energy.

"Finally, I can rest..." Chen Zhou said with satisfaction, and immediately fell asleep.

Seeing the golden light from the sprayer disappear instantly, and with no further sound coming from inside the shed, the three of them immediately looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I hope nothing bad has happened?" Zhu Yuande asked with a worried expression.

Ji Lanying immediately shook her head and said, "It's not that easy for anything to happen. He should be resting after practice. You should also rest. We're leaving tomorrow."

"Senior Sister, where do we go next? Should we continue heading towards the Southern Kingdom, or return to the sect?" Zhu Yuande asked. Ji Lanying hadn't told them their next plans yet. Both of them knew the seriousness of the matter, and Zhu Yuande had also been implanted with the Blood Demon Seed. The sect would definitely be questioned by the Blood Clan for concealing this matter.

Things are bound to get worse.

Therefore, even if the three of them escape to the Southern Kingdom, the Blood Demon Seed within Zhu Yuande remains, making it impossible for him to escape the control of the Blood Clan. Furthermore, if they do escape, the Blood Clan will not spare their sect.

"We'll head back to the sect tomorrow," Ji Lanying said decisively. In many matters, the sect is naturally more important, and in the current situation, the decision still needs to be made by the elders. To put it bluntly, it can only be said that the three of them were just too unlucky.

The plan was flawless and almost complete when they encountered a giant python on the way, which the three of them couldn't defeat. Then they strayed into the Black Mist Swamp and met a mysterious figure from the vampire clan.

It's true that things we didn't want to happen have happened.

The three of them indeed had a very difficult journey.

Nothing happened that night. When Chen Zhou woke up again, it was quiet outside. Chen Zhou slowly crawled out of the shed. When he came out, both sheds outside had disappeared without a trace. It seemed that the three people had left. Chen Zhou rubbed his sleepy eyes and quickly dismantled the shed and put it into his storage ring.

After sleeping there for a night, Chen Zhou realized that this shed was a great thing! It was a great thing in every way.

"I slept so well last night..." Chen Zhou stretched after tidying up and then prepared to leave.

Chen Zhou felt his body was full of power. The energy and physical strength he had expended last night had almost been restored. Now, Chen Zhou seemed to have an even stronger sense of true qi.

“It’s almost noon now, and you’ve only just woken up. Even if they wanted to wait for you, they wouldn’t have waited that long,” Elder Ren said at this moment.

"I won't suffer too much without them!" Chen Zhou said slowly, and then began to walk.

"They must be in a hurry, and their sect is probably in a dangerous situation right now," Elder Ren continued, completely ignoring what Chen Zhou had just said.
