Chapter 344: Seal Part of the Cultivation

Lin Feng patted Xu Tian on the shoulder and looked at him sincerely, "Xu Tian, ​​we are brothers and will not give up on you. You have to stay calm and we will find a solution together." His hands were steady and powerful, conveying a kind of strength.

With the comfort of his friends, Xu Tian's emotions gradually stabilized. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. The purple lines that had been spreading across his chest also stopped expanding, like a demon that had been temporarily suppressed.

Seeing this, Lin Feng reached out and untied the rope tied around Xu Tian, ​​and said softly, "This will make you more comfortable. Let's discuss what to do next." The rope slipped off, and Xu Tian moved his numb body, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

The four of them sat together in a solemn atmosphere. Chen Yu frowned and broke the silence. "I think, Xu Tian, ​​you should give up practicing the demonic cult's techniques and dissipate all your cultivation. Then, start practicing again. That way, perhaps you won't lose your mind again." His eyes were serious. Although he knew this decision was extremely difficult for Xu Tian, ​​he couldn't think of a better solution.

Xu Tian's expression instantly darkened upon hearing Chen Yu's words. A flicker of pain and struggle flashed across his eyes, as if two villains were fiercely battling within him. On the one hand, he knew the importance of his cultivation, the fruit of years of dedicated practice; on the other, he feared losing his mind again and harming his beloved friends. Amidst this agonizing psychological struggle, the purple lines on his chest began to slowly spread again, as if the evil force sensed his inner wavering.

Lin Feng noticed the change in Xu Tian and hurriedly comforted him, "There's no need to do this, Xu Tian. If you dissipate all your life's cultivation, then you will have to start all over again, which will take too much time. Besides, we are now in the martial arts world, full of dangers. Without cultivation, you will have no ability to protect yourself and others." His eyes were full of worry. He didn't want Xu Tian to fall into a more dangerous situation because of this extreme method.

Chen Xiner also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Lin Feng's statement, "That's right, Brother Xu Tian. What we need most now is strength. If we start practicing again, the speed of improvement will be too slow. We don't know how many dangers we will encounter during this period." There was worry in her eyes. She looked at Xu Tian with heartache in her eyes.

Chen Yu frowned and retorted, "If we don't disperse all our cultivation, what can we do to prevent Xu Tian from losing his mind again? We can't just watch him being controlled by this power, right?" His eyes were full of helplessness and anxiety. He paced back and forth in the cave, trying to come up with a better way.

At this time, Xu Tian seemed to have finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's okay, let me start over. Anyway, even if my cultivation is gone, I can still practice again." Although his voice was a little trembling, it revealed a kind of determination.

Lin Feng shook his head firmly, "No, Xu Tian, ​​this is too risky. Let's think of other ways." He knew that the cost of re-cultivation was too high and full of uncertainty.

Chen Xiner's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she thought of something, and analyzed: "Do you remember? Just after Xu Tian absorbed Jiancang's cultivation, his strength increased greatly, but then when he was suppressed by the Star Sword to the seventh-grade Grandmaster, Xu Tian's sanity recovered a little. Obviously, as long as Xu Tian's cultivation is suppressed to a lower level, it is very likely that he will be able to practice normally like before, and nothing will happen." Her eyes flashed with excitement, as if she saw hope.

After hearing Chen Xiner's words, Lin Feng recalled the situation at that time. It was indeed true. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "That's right. As long as Xu Tian's cultivation is suppressed, or most of his power is sealed away, perhaps the problem can be solved." He looked at Xu Tian with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

When everyone heard the word "seal," it was as if they had grasped at a lifeline. A glint flashed in Xu Tian's eyes, and he asked, "Can the Demon Cult's techniques still be practiced?" He was still reluctant to give up the Nine Yang Swallowing Origin Technique, which he had practiced for many years.

Lin Feng answered seriously: "I guess not, otherwise you will lose your mind again." He knew that this was a big blow to Xu Tian, ​​but for his safety, this was the only way.

After hearing this, Xu Tian showed a hint of frustration on his face, but he still nodded, "In order to stop hurting the people around me, I accept this proposal." He knew that he had to make a choice between friends and martial arts.

Having decided to seal Xu Tian's cultivation, everyone prepared to act. However, a new problem arose. Lin Feng frowned and said, "I haven't learned any sealing techniques. If I want to seal him now, I simply can't do it." A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. At this critical moment, he was stumped by this problem.

Chen Xiner thought for a while and said, "I do know a little about sealing techniques, but my cultivation is not enough, so I can't seal Xu Tian." There was helplessness in her eyes. She looked at Xu Tian and felt a little guilty.

For a moment, the atmosphere reached a stalemate. But they didn't give up. Chen Xiner looked at Lin Feng, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "It's okay, Lin Feng. I can teach you now. Let's try it together."

And so, in this narrow cave, a special teaching session began. Chen Xiner picked up a branch and drew the seal rune on the ground, explaining as she did so. "Lin Feng, look, this rune is the foundation of the seal technique. It represents the confinement of power. When you draw this rune, you must infuse it with your true Qi to give it binding power..." Her voice was clear and melodious as she earnestly imparted the knowledge of the seal technique to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng squatted nearby, watching Chen Xin'er's movements intently, his eyes radiating concentration and seriousness. He knew the importance of this seal to Xu Tian, ​​and dared not slack off in the slightest. "Xin'er, this pattern looks so complicated. Is there something special about it?" he asked.

Chen Xiner stopped what she was doing, pointed at a corner of the figure with a branch and explained: "This is the node where power converges. The lines here determine the direction and speed of the inflow of true energy. If it is drawn incorrectly, the seal may fail, and even cause greater harm to Xu Tian." Her expression was solemn, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
