The mechanical puppets were very powerful, but their attacks were very simple.
Fang Chen used the True Meaning of Spacetime to dodge quickly.
While dodging, Fang Chen was thinking.
He couldn't continue dodging like this. The demonic aura had been continuously providing energy for the mechanical puppets.
It was fine for him to use the True Meaning of Spacetime for a short period of time, but if he used it for too long, his physical strength would definitely decline.
At that time, he would be in a dangerous situation.
This was not what Fang Chen wanted to see.
"Since I can't defeat it, I'll use an array formation to trap it."
Fang Chen thought for a long time and came up with a countermeasure.
Immediately, he used the mechanical puppets' attack to miss and quickly set up the Chaos Origin Killing Array.
Now, Fang Chen was able to exert the Chaos Origin Killing Array to its strongest effect.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, the array core merged into the Chaos Origin Killing Array.
Immediately, the power of the Chaos Origin Killing Array increased again.
Bang bang bang!
The mechanical puppets kept attacking the Chaos Origin Killing Array, but they couldn't break through its defense.
If it was a martial artist in the Creation Realm, it would be easy to break the array.
But the puppets were different. They couldn't think and only knew how to attack.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen grinned and immediately left this place, continuing to move forward.
The deeper he went into the inner area, the more oppressive he felt.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen walked carefully in the inner area.
Not long after, he arrived at the edge of the inner area.
Looking at the periphery, Fang Chen suddenly discovered that there were three halls in the core area.
"What's this?"
The golden heart beat rapidly, and Fang Chen's eyes flickered.
"I feel that there's great danger inside."
Fang Chen said to himself.
However, it wasn't easy to get here. How could he not go in and take a look?
Fang Chen struggled in his heart. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to go in.
There were two factors for this decision.
First, he had the True Meaning of Spacetime. If he encountered danger, he could directly travel through the void and leave this place.
Second, his defense was very strong. Even if he encountered a creature in the Creation Realm, he could resist one or two attacks.
Combining these two considerations, Fang Chen decided to go in and take a look.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen entered the core area.
However, just as he stepped in, his vision suddenly turned black.
Then, he felt something grabbing him.
He struggled with all his might, but to no avail.
Bang
With a loud bang, Fang Chen grit his teeth as pain spread throughout his body.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a large hall.
"What is this place?"
Fang Chen exclaimed.
At this moment, a black figure appeared.
"Brat, your luck is not bad. You actually managed to reach here so easily."
"In all these years, you're the first Heavenly Body Tier cultivator to enter this place."
"En."
Fang Chen seemed to understand something. Could this black shadow be the remnant soul of the Devil's Paradise's master?
"In the past, many Manifestation realm warriors came here, but most of them failed."
The black shadow went on to say, "There isn't much danger in the outer area of Devil Cave. The real danger lies in the inner area. Master placed the Phantasmal Demon Stones in the inner area to lure you in."
"Induce."
Fang Chen was even more puzzled.
"Brat, you only encountered a puppet, and you easily reached this place. I have to say, your luck is extremely heaven-defying." The black shadow sighed.
Fang Chen pursed his lips. So he had run into dogsh * t luck.
"Who are you?"
Fang Chen asked.
"I'm the butler of Devil Cave," the black shadow continued. "Master once ordered that all cultivators who can successfully enter the core area have the right to pass the three tests he left behind. As long as they pass, they can obtain the precious treasures of Devil Cave."
Hearing this, Fang Chen's heart trembled.
"Three tests?" Fang Chen asked.
"Brat, don't talk nonsense. Either accept the tests or get lost," the black shadow said impatiently.
Fang Chen nodded heavily. How could he miss out on such a good opportunity?
"I accept the tests," Fang Chen said directly.
"You're at the Heavenly Body Tier, so the difficulty of the tests will be lower.
However, even so, there's a high chance that you won't be able to pass. "The black shadow didn't seem to be optimistic about Fang Chen.
"Senior, what's the test?" Fang Chen asked.
"There are three large halls in the core area. The hall you're in now is called the Heart Nurturing Hall.
As the name suggests, it nurtures the heart. "After the black shadow finished speaking, he tossed out a yellowed book.
Fang Chen stretched out his hand and caught the book. To his surprise, he found that there were three large words on the book — Heart Nurturing Technique.
"Master the Heart Nurturing Technique within a year, and you'll pass." After the black shadow finished speaking, he directly disappeared.
Fang Chen was slightly dazed. The first test was just to cultivate the Heart Nurturing Technique?
He flipped open the book and seriously read the contents.
After a short while, a smile appeared on Fang Chen's face.
This Heart Nurturing Technique was indeed extraordinary.
However, Fang Chen wasn't afraid at all.
"I have a golden heart, so cultivating this Heart Nurturing Technique is too easy."
Immediately, Fang Chen started to cultivate.
The Heart Nurturing Technique had a total of three levels.
The first level was Shrinking Heart, which meant to shrink the heart and condense its essence.
The second level was Refining Heart, which was to temper the heart.
The third level was Patience. As a martial artist, he had to have a heart of patience.
These three levels seemed simple, but were actually extremely difficult.
Following the Heart Nurturing Technique's chant, Fang Chen began to cultivate.
His body was covered in a layer of star energy.
Within his body, the golden heart was rapidly beating, coordinating with Fang Chen's cultivation.
Buzz!
After circulating the chant in his body once, the first level was completed.
"This …"
Although he was already prepared, Fang Chen was still somewhat shocked.
"This is too fast."
At this time, Fang Chen also realized how terrifying the golden heart was.
He did his best to calm his heart and continued to cultivate the second level.
After circulating the chant in his body twice, as expected, he succeeded in cultivating the second level.
At this time, the golden heart was circulating with a dazzling golden light.
"Phew."
Fang Chen took a deep breath and continued to cultivate the third level.
After an hour, Fang Chen opened his eyes.
He had successfully cultivated the third level of the Heart Nurturing Technique. His eyes were filled with joy.
"This Heart Nurturing Technique has a strong effect on normal hearts, but it doesn't have much effect on the golden heart." Fang Chen said to himself.
After inspecting the golden heart, Fang Chen put down the book in his hand, looked up at the void, and said, "Senior."
Huala.
The black figure appeared and looked coldly at Fang Chen.
"Why are you giving up so quickly?"
"Cultivating the Heart Nurturing Technique requires enough patience. With your attitude, it's impossible to succeed." The black figure said coldly, "Since you've given up, then get lost."
After saying that, the black figure waved his hand and prepared to send Fang Chen away.
Seeing this, Fang Chen hurriedly spoke up.
"Senior, I haven't given up."
"Hmph, in my eyes, you've already given up." The black figure said indifferently.
Fang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I've already cultivated it."
Hearing this, the black figure was stunned and looked at Fang Chen in disbelief.
"What did you say? You've cultivated the Heart Nurturing Technique?"
The black figure couldn't believe that there was such a monstrous genius in the world.
"You've cultivated the first level, right? There are three levels to the Heart Nurturing Technique. You'll only be considered to have passed if you've cultivated all of them." The black figure explained.
Fang Chen knew that the black figure couldn't believe his words, so he didn't say anything else.
With a thought, the golden heart released a trace of aura that surrounded his body.
Seeing this, the black figure's expression instantly froze.
"This …"
The black figure was shocked. In less than an hour, this martial artist had actually cultivated the Heart Nurturing Technique.
Fang Chen withdrew his aura and looked at the black figure with a smile.
After a long time, the black figure woke up from his shock.
"Very good. Over the countless years, your speed of comprehending the Heart Nurturing Technique is enough to be ranked first." The black figure said.
Over the countless years, there had been many Manifestation Realm experts who had entered this place.
There were also many who had comprehended the Heart Nurturing Technique, but in terms of speed, Fang Chen had an absolute advantage and was ranked first.
When the black figure looked at Fang Chen, his eyes were filled with seriousness.
"Very good. You've passed the first level." The black figure said.
There was a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Senior, what's the second level?" Fang Chen hurriedly asked.
If he passed the third level, he would be able to obtain the treasure of the Devil's Paradise. Fang Chen was naturally looking forward to it.
"Don't be complacent. Passing the first level only proves that your attainments in the Heart Nurturing Technique are not bad.
The next two levels are much more difficult than the first, "the black figure said indifferently.
