Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1025 - 727: Li Zheng’s Spiritual Realm

If someone tells you that one plus one equals three and you’ve believed that since you were a child, when you grow up and suddenly meet someone who tells you that one plus one actually doesn’t equal three, what would you think?

At first, you certainly wouldn’t believe it.

After all, one plus one equaling three has been your common knowledge for years, and a casual remark would hardly disrupt your judgment.

But what if the person tells you that if the premise of one plus one equaling three is correct, and he tells you one plus one equals two and you believe him, he will die, would you still doubt?

Now Mudala encounters a similar situation. If the old Saintess told her the correct usage of the Defeat Contract, and Li Zheng refuted it as wrong and proposed an opposite usage, if Li Zheng is lying and she believes it’s true, Li Zheng would instead release the Defeat Contract on her.

Logically, this doesn’t make sense, so is Li Zheng correct?

But why would the old Saintess teach her a completely opposite and wrong method?

Mudala’s mind stirred.

The use of the Destruction Race’s Defeat Contract is only known by their own race, almost unknown to outsiders.

The old Saintess might have anticipated that sending a clansman full of Blood Qi into the Outer City would require a sacrifice of the Defeat Contract, and once sacrificed, she would undoubtedly become the other’s slave with no autonomy at all.

But if turned around, making the other person her slave also seems to be able to use the Defeat Contract to threaten them to take her into the Outer City.

So the old Saintess taught her a completely opposite usage, even to the point that Mudala herself was deceived.

Understanding everything, Mudala instantly agreed with Li Zheng without any hesitation, "Since you say my method is wrong, then let’s do it your way."

"So unprincipled?" Li Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Don’t even question it?"

"Why question it?" Mudala said calmly, "Lying brings you harm and no benefit, I don’t think you’d be stupid enough to mess around with this. Or should I think you’re tricking me and prove that what I said is true?"

"..." Li Zheng’s expression froze, "Good question, don’t ask next time."

The real way to release the ’Defeat Contract’ is to simply swap the target Mudala mentioned.

Mudala released her Spiritual Power into Li Zheng’s mind to find the Spiritual Realm, but as soon as she entered it, she ’saw’ an unforgettable scene.

Li Zheng’s mind didn’t contain a Spiritual Realm at all, but was entirely filled by his enormous Spiritual Body.

If Li Zheng’s mind were compared to Heaven and Earth, then his Spiritual Body reached up to the heavens and stood on the ground, his towering form filling every direction without any gaps.

Seeing this scene, Mudala’s heart trembled, with such grand Spiritual Power, could she really surpass it to use her power to cancel the Defeat Contract?

She suddenly regretted agreeing to Li Zheng, her eyes fluctuating with thoughts of exit.

However, Li Zheng also ’saw’ her, his sharp gaze locked onto her, and he asked with a smile, "You could actually break through my Mental Defense and directly find my Spiritual Body?"

Locked by that gaze, Mudala fearfully found her released Spiritual Power seemingly bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

Her heart was greatly terrified, revealing a rare panic, "What... what exactly are you? Why don’t you have a Spiritual Realm?"

"Oh?"

This was the first time a ’person’ entered Li Zheng’s mind; before this, even Li Zheng couldn’t find where his Spiritual Realm was, and now hearing Mudala say this, he realized he might indeed not have a Spiritual Realm.

"My Spiritual Body is too immense, perhaps at the moment Void bestowed Spiritual Power upon me, my Spiritual Realm exploded," Li Zheng thought to himself.

This also explained why every time he used more Spiritual Power than his body could bear, it was the physical body that shattered, not the Spiritual Realm.

Because his Spiritual Realm had long since collapsed and no longer existed in the world.

His physical body had replaced the Spiritual Realm, becoming a container for the Spiritual Body.

"What a pity, I wanted to see what my Spiritual Realm looks like, now I have no chance."

Li Zheng secretly lamented, but then another problem arose.

No Spiritual Realm, yet alive?

"Theoretically, the Spiritual Realm is just a container developed later, not innate, and some people make it too complex, affecting themselves."

Lu Li was a case in point.

"So actually the Spiritual Realm isn’t important, as long as the Spiritual Body is fine?"

Then the Destruction Race’s contract isn’t actually carved outside the Spiritual Realm, just that they’re unable to break through others’ Mental Defense, hence requiring it outside the Spiritual Realm?

What if directly carved onto someone else’s Spiritual Body?

Seeing Mudala still in a daze, Li Zheng urged, "Quickly get to work?"

Mudala secretly tried hard to escape but failed repeatedly, stopping her struggle and resigned.

Nonetheless, her thoughts changed, "Since Li Zheng can cultivate his Spiritual Body to this level, if I learn his method, doesn’t it mean I can too?"

Mudala considered herself not weaker than others, if others could strengthen their Spiritual Body to this level, she was sure she could achieve it too!

Yet she didn’t know what appeared before her wasn’t the entirety of Li Zheng’s Spiritual Body. To avoid affecting his own movement, he’d stuffed most of his Spiritual Body into the Dark Realm.

If not, he wouldn’t be standing tall as he was now, but curled up like a baby prior to birth, shrunk inside his mind.

Mudala was already very familiar with the patterns carved, she wielded her Spiritual Power preparing to carve, but was dumbfounded.

Li Zheng lacked a Spiritual Realm; what should she do?

Li Zheng saw her doubts, reached over with a palm, and said, "Carve onto my palm."

The palm was as large as half of Mudala’s body, gigantic, and if Li Zheng bore ill intentions, he could easily crush her released Spiritual Power and internal consciousness.

Mudala dared not delay, summoned Spiritual Powers to intricately carve the pattern onto the palm, slowly molding it.

With the pattern completing bit by bit, Mudala felt a strange sensation arise within.

Li Zheng’s image in her eyes became increasingly close, as if more important than her dearest kin.

Li Zheng noticed nothing unusual, though he sensed Mudala’s aura from the pattern, with an intuition that once the pattern was fully formed, if he crushed it, Mudala’s consciousness would perish in a chain reaction.

At first, when Mudala started imprinting the pattern, she was hesitant, but once the pattern was more than half complete, she willingly quickened her pace, wishing the contract would instantly bind her as Li Zheng’s slave, at his beck and call.

Most terrifyingly, she felt no objection to this thought, as if inherently meant to do so.

As for breaking free from Li Zheng’s control once her Spiritual Power was strong?

Mudala’s mind no longer entertained this thought, even cursing herself for having such a notion earlier – utterly deserving of death!
