Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 94: Breakthrough

Chu Wuyao had no idea that there was one more powerful cultivator that had suffered backlash because of her, otherwise she would have to hold herself back from laughing.

At this time, Chu Wuyao was fully focused on digesting the information regarding the next chapter of the Original Desire Sutra that continuously poured into her mind.

Time slowly went by and it was unknown how much time had passed before Chu Wuyao opened her eyes again.

When she did, her eyes glowed with a strange red light for a split second, but it quickly disappeared.

"Is this the Shackles Realm?", she thought and went through the information in her mind.

Having received the Shackles Realm Chapter of the Original Desire Sutra, Chu Wuyao now understood what the way forward was.

In this world, cultivators believe that there are many shackles in every human’s body, limiting their strength and potential.

These shackles are commonly referred as locked locks, or as closed doors.

In the Shackles Realm, cultivators have to to shatter these locks or open these doors, breaking these limits and allowing their strength and potential to increase.

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao sat on the ground with her legs crossed and after taking a deep breath, she started looking inside her body.

The first thing that a cultivator has to do in order to break through the Shackles Realm is locate these locks inside their body.

In a sense, this is the first hurdle of the breakthrough, testing the strength of the cultivator’s soul.

Chu Wuyao had looked inside her body many times before, but now that she had learned about the existence of the shackles, she quickly found something different.

Even though there was nothing there, Chu Wuyao felt that there were many invisible objects in every single part of her body, whether it was her legs, her arms, her torso or her head.

When she tried to sense these invisible objects, the "invisibility" of one of them seemed to have worn off and in an instant, an illusory lock appeared in her torso.

With the appearance of the first illusory lock, there was a second one and next, hundreds of locks appeared in her torso and then started appearing on the rest of her body.

100 locks, 200 locks, 1000 locks, 2000 locks...

Soon, her entire body was covered in illusory shackles, from head to toe.

Chu Wuyao counted these locks and by the end, she found that there were exactly 9999 shackles inside her body, limiting her strength and potential.

Seeing these locks, she understood that she had successfully located the shackles in her body and passed the first major hurdle of the breakthrough.

Chu Wuyao didn’t rush to act, but she exhaled softly and went through the information in her mind once again.

"According to the Original Desire Sutra, as long as I break one of these 9999 locks, I can reach the Shackles Realm."

"It actually doesn’t matter which locks I choose to break, but it is recommended to break one of the locks in my head.", she thought and chose to follow the technique’s instructions.

From the information, Chu Wuyao knew that the locks in the cultivator’s head were considered very important, as these were the shackles that allowed the Shackles Realm cultivators to be extraordinary.

For example, without breaking at least one of these shackles, cultivators at the Shackles Realm would not be able to fly.

In fact, Chu Wuyao’s strength was already comparable to Shackles Realm cultivators and her only disadvantage was that she was unable to fly.

With this in mind, she didn’t hesitate to make a choice and immediately focused on one of the locks in her head.

Then, the second hurdle of the breakthrough appeared, materializing the locks in the real world.

Even though the locks inside her body were obviously there, they could only be seen by Chu Wuyao at the moment and no other person would be able to look at them.

What she had to do next was materialize these locks on her body and let them be revealed to the outside world.

This was a test of the physical strength of a cultivator.

As Chu Wuyao’s eyes focused on the ethereal lock, her thoughts moved towards the lock and she tried to touch it.

At first, nothing happened, but as her thoughts moved again and again, the lock started to show some changes.

The ethereal lock glowed with a strange light and slowly but surely, it started to go from illusion to reality.

The moment this happened, the body of Chu Wuyao in the outside world shone with a light and an illusory lock started forming on her head.

Even though this lock was still illusory, it had some substance, as if existed between illusion and reality.

With the appearance of the lock, Chu Wuyao felt a weight on her head, as if there was a mountain on top of her that was trying to crush her.

Fortunately, Chu Wuyao had practiced the Blood Demon Body to the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm and the strength of her physical body was considered extraordinary.

Although it took some time, in the end, the lock completely appeared in the outside and the weight on her head quickly disappeared.

"Isn’t this a little too easy?", Chu Wuyao wondered as she opened her eyes and looked at the illusory lock on her forehead.

She was a little surprised to have passed the first two hurdles so easily and knew that there was only a final test separating her from the Shackles Realm.

Of course, even though there was only one more hurdle, it was actually the most important part of the breakthrough: breaking the lock.

To break the lock, cultivators had to control the Qi in their body and attack the lock with all their strength, hoping to break it.

If they manage to break it, cultivators will successfully break through.

However, if they fail, they will either die or lose their consciousness and become puppets that only know how to kill.

Recalling City Lord Li Zhengyu’s fate, Chu Wuyao didn’t immediately try to break through but forced herself to calm down and tried to relax, wanting to to be in the best condition possible.

"Let’s try one more time...", she thought and with a thought of her mind, she brought up the system panel, as well as the latest system prompts.

Glancing at the [Cultivation] column, Chu Wuyao found that there was still no (+) button behind it, meaning that she could not use her Sin Points to break through the Shackles Realm.

She knew that this was not because her Sin Points were not enough, but because she had to achieve breakthrough by herself.

Chu Wuyao felt a little reluctant, but she quickly wiped out these meaningless emotions and strengthened her resolve.

"The system is merely a way for me to increase the speed of my progress."

"Even though it is helpful, even without the system, I can still break through on my own.", she thought and felt that this is how it should be.

Instantly, Chu Wuyao surged with confidence and felt that it was time.

Without any hesitation, Chu Wuyao closed the system panel and she controlled the Qi in her body to rush towards the lock, attacking it with all her strength.

"Boom!", the Qi hit the lock and made a loud sound that spread throughout her body.

Chu Wuyao’s body trembled, while the illusory lock on her forehead slightly shook.

The final hurdle of the breakthrough to the Shackles Realm, breaking the lock, had actually started.
