Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 231 - 225: Entering the Mysterious World

Since the last meeting with Lin Yuan, Little Sister-in-law has been staying at Peach Mountain, never leaving.

She doesn’t even interact with anyone usually.

She feels her current state is very unstable; even she can’t determine what she truly is right now.

A person of this world?

Or, the Evil Spirits of that Mysterious World?

Although she is quite strong now, she lives every day in fear.

She’s afraid, afraid of losing control one day.

Afraid of becoming an outcast in Lin Yuan’s eyes.

At this moment, Lin Yuan arrived.

Seeing Lin Yuan appear before her, Little Sister-in-law’s previously gloomy mood was instantly lifted.

She asked, somewhat excited yet puzzled, "Why do you come here every day, aren’t you busy with serious business?"

In Little Sister-in-law’s view, Lin Yuan is the backbone of Peng City, he should be busy with many things!

Coming here every day, how inappropriate.

Lin Yuan replied solemnly, "I came this time to do serious business."

Little Sister-in-law rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan, thinking, your "business", who knows if it’s serious or not.

From Little Sister-in-law’s glance, Lin Yuan could tell she had misunderstood.

In an instant, Lin Yuan felt more wronged than Dou E.

He really came for serious business, why doesn’t she believe him?

"I really came for serious business!"

"I want you to help identify something. Here’s the deal, I got a Teleportation Gate from the Liu Family conglomerate."

"It’s said to teleport to that Mysterious World."

"I was thinking, you’ve been there, right? I’d like you to check if this thing is real!" Lin Yuan explained his purpose.

After hearing this, Little Sister-in-law finally believed that Lin Yuan truly came for business.

So, she busily said, "Take it out, I’ll help you check."

A moment later, Little Sister-in-law looked at Lin Yuan with a face full of surprise.

"I asked you to take out the thing, why are you taking off your clothes?" Little Sister-in-law exclaimed in shock.

Lin Yuan replied earnestly, "Before evaluating the item, I need to evaluate you first!"

Little Sister-in-law: "??????"

Little Sister-in-law was completely perplexed, thinking Lin Yuan might finally be serious once.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan is still the same Lin Yuan!

"What... what nonsense are you spouting?"

"What is there to evaluate about me!" Little Sister-in-law blushed fiercely.

At this moment, Lin Yuan transformed into a car repair master, speaking fluently, "There are plenty of aspects to evaluate!"

"First, check if the headlights are bright enough. Then, evaluate if there are any scratches on the taillights."

"The engine needs to be checked for oil leaks, the horn should be heard if it sounds right, and most importantly, brakes need to be tested several times; if the brakes fail, it can be life-threatening...."

After two hours, through Lin Yuan’s repeated checking and maintenance, it was confirmed that the car was in good condition with no issues.

During this evaluation and maintenance process, Lin Yuan had already revealed his intention to Little Sister-in-law.

"Are you really planning to go to that Mysterious World for a breakthrough?" Little Sister-in-law looked at Lin Yuan and said.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "As it stands, there exists an unbreakable shackle in this world. Unless the world’s level increases and this shackle disappears, breakthroughs are impossible."

"Aside from heading to that Mysterious World for a breakthrough, I can’t think of any other way."

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s story, Little Sister-in-law nodded involuntarily.

After inheriting the Rebirth Saint Mother’s legacy, Little Sister-in-law’s strength was no less than Lin Yuan’s.

Her knowledge might even surpass Lin Yuan’s.

Little Sister-in-law also comprehended nearly everything Lin Yuan knew.

"That Mysterious World indeed doesn’t have so-called shackles."

"Going to that world, you have a significant chance of success."

"Have you considered, that world belongs to Evil Spirits? Demon Fiends can survive there, but you as a human will be an outcast in that world."

"You can’t hide your presence at all, like a bright lamp in the dark, all Evil Spirits will target you first." Little Sister-in-law said gravely.

If Lin Yuan heads to that world now, he would likely be discovered by Evil Spirits upon arrival and be caught in endless pursuit.

At that point, he would have neither the time nor the energy for a breakthrough.

After hearing Little Sister-in-law, Lin Yuan’s expression immediately darkened.

Indeed, he was being too simplistic!

Unable to hide his presence, heading to that world was a death sentence.

For a moment, Lin Yuan fell into deep thought.

If he wanted to enter that Mysterious World for a breakthrough, he had to find a way to conceal his presence, to make the Demon Fiends perceive him as one of them.

After pondering for a while, Lin Yuan seemed to think of something and tentatively suggested to Little Sister-in-law, "If I invite magical energy into my body, turning into a possessed state. This might successfully mask my human scent..."

However, before finishing, Lin Yuan immediately dismissed this idea on his own.

This method wouldn’t work.

Entering a possessed state would cause him to lose his mind, falling entirely into a killing instinct.

In that state, he simply couldn’t break through.

In fact, if he remained unconscious for a long time, the demonic flames would burn him alive.

What should he do?

If there wasn’t a good way to cover his aura, then the plan to break through in that mysterious world would have to be put on hold.

Just as Lin Yuan was full of worry, his sister-in-law spoke up, "I can help you, I’ll go with you!"

"I have a way to cover the aura on your body."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan excitedly gave her a peck on the cheek.

Truly, heaven doesn’t cut off all paths!

His sister-in-law was practically his lucky star.

"Do you really have a way?" Lin Yuan asked.

His sister-in-law solemnly nodded and replied, "I have a method to cover the aura, but first, I need to see your teleportation gate."

"I can only enter and exit that mysterious world by myself, taking you is not possible."

"To enter that mysterious world, we can only use your teleportation gate."

At this moment, Lin Yuan remembered.

They had agreed to find his sister-in-law to identify the teleportation gate, but until now, he hadn’t shown her the gate!

Lin Yuan took out the teleportation gate he got from the Liu Family and handed it over for his sister-in-law to inspect.

His sister-in-law’s internal energy spread throughout the teleportation gate, at which point the gate emitted a sense of originating from the same source.

This feeling was derived from the energy of the otherworld.

After a brief contemplation, his sister-in-law said, "This thing should indeed be able to reach that mysterious world."

"I can sense the aura of that world on this."

It could actually teleport to that mysterious world, no wonder Yang Dingguo was so fixated on obtaining the teleportation gate technology of the Liu Family.

Just the mere fact of teleporting to the mysterious world was significant.

The teleportation gate was valuable enough to be a strategic asset.

"Once in the mysterious world, after successfully advancing to Tier Four, then the Liu Family’s teleportation gate technology will be mine!" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"Let’s head to the ruins of the Rebirth Sect!"

"There’s a Well of Rebirth there, which should aid your breakthrough!" his sister-in-law said to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan and his sister-in-law shared an unspoken understanding.

Lin Yuan believed his sister-in-law wouldn’t deceive him.

Since his sister-in-law said the Well of Rebirth would help, then it likely would.

"Let’s go to the place you mentioned then!"

"No matter what, I must break through to Tier Four this time."

"The teleportation gate I’ve obtained with great difficulty offers only one chance, and I must cherish it!" Lin Yuan stated solemnly.

Only by successfully advancing to Tier Four could he annihilate the Deceitful King Faction and seize the teleportation gate technology from the Liu Family.

If this breakthrough failed, he would have to wait for the world to upgrade, when the shackles of Tier Four no longer existed, to advance.

But once the world upgraded, it wouldn’t be just him who could breakthrough to Tier Four.

People like Yang Jing, Feng Wuji, Jian Bing, Meng Zhang, and others could also potentially break through to Tier Four.

Even the mysterious expert within the Deceitful King might break through to Tier Four.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of something.

Yang Jing mentioned that the tattoo ability was from Red Cloud’s mysterious expert, quite possibly the Ghost Leader.

The teleportation gate was obtained from the Liu Family.

Then....

He contemplated breaking through in the mysterious world, so would that mysterious Red Cloud, if it were the Ghost Leader, have also thought of this method?

After some careful consideration, Lin Yuan felt it was unlikely.

Firstly, last time when Red Cloud saved Yang Jing, the power displayed was certainly not Tier Four.

If it were Tier Four, there would have been no need to merely save Yang Jing; he could have easily killed him.

Defeating him back then, and even now, would have been effortless for someone at Tier Four.

Since no action was taken back then, it indicated a lack of confidence or ability to do so.

Moreover, the families within the Deceitful King Faction were fiercely competitive.

The relationship between the Liu Family and the Ghost Leader wasn’t good, with hints of competition.

So, the Liu Family might not have given the teleportation gate to the Ghost Leader.

Lin Yuan stopped his wild thoughts and decided to break through to Tier Four first; becoming a Tier Four Life Pattern Master meant he could attack or defend as he pleased.

"When should we set out?" his sister-in-law asked Lin Yuan.

"There’s no time like the present, let’s go now!" Lin Yuan said, channeling his internal energy into the teleportation gate.

As energy flowed in, the initially palm-sized teleportation gate began to glow and then disintegrate into pieces.

Soon, a black energy gate appeared before them, and Lin Yuan grabbed his sister-in-law’s hand and stepped into the teleportation gate.

Hand in hand, Lin Yuan and his sister-in-law stepped through the teleportation gate, which disappeared after they entered.

A tattoo of a bronze door appeared on Lin Yuan’s arm, a one-time, dual-purpose mark.

As long as Lin Yuan channeled energy into the mark, he could summon the teleportation gate again to return to the real world.

Upon returning, the tattoo of the bronze door would automatically disappear.
