Chapter 2661: Chapter 2659: Vessel Capture

Eight days have passed facing this force, yet the Heart of the Holy Kingdom vessel still hasn’t managed to capture it.

However, during these eight days, he gained an entirely new understanding of the vessel.

This vessel seems to be connected to his own power, although the capture is random, the stronger his Divine Soul Power, the higher the probability of capture.

Moreover, as the number of attempts increase, the vessel seems to auto-capture familiar auras.

After casting Zhuang Zhou’s Dream every day, Ethan Smith would fight with the Combat Avatar of Xinyue elder.

Later on, he managed to capture the skill power of Soaring Wind Slash, which astonished Heart Moon to the extreme.

Recently, the sensation of being able to capture it has grown increasingly strong.

“Did all previous attempts fail?”

Heart Moon asked curiously.

The native inhabitants of Heart of the Holy Kingdom cannot make contact, therefore they do not understand its power.

However, with the wisdom of Elder Xinyue, she speculated roughly.

In the recent attempts, she deliberately slowed down the speed of the technique.

And only when Zhuang Zhou’s Dream was cast, the power changes became more distinct.

“It failed, but in recent days it seems almost successful, always just short by a thread.”

With the interactions over these days, Ethan Smith has completely eased his mind about Xinyue elder.

She has allowed such high-level technique power to be cast so clearly under his nose continuously over years and spent so much of her precious time, Ethan Smith felt deep gratitude in his heart.

“Try to perceive the casting power of Soaring Wind Slash when I perform it, how this skill captures the enemy’s aura to pull you towards it.”

Heart Moon now guessed that Ethan Smith probably wants to comprehend her supreme technique in some manner, so she offered her opinion.

As the figure before him blurred, Ethan Smith suddenly opened his Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil.

He stared fixedly at the fluctuation of the dreamlike aura, and the sight of the Nine Heavens Condensing Pupil was almost materialized, aiming to imprint the entire Power of Space into his view.

Threads of dreamlike aura were bound by Ethan Smith’s Divine Soul.

Neither dream nor reality, neither butterfly nor dream.

Between the constantly changing Dreamscape and Reality, everything seems false and true.

In such a space between Dreamscape and Reality, the damage suffered by the body can be transformed into Dreamscape, and upon awakening can completely nullify this damage power.

No matter how many times Ethan Smith sees this dreamlike sensation, he can’t help closing his eyelids.

This is the power derived from the extreme cultivation skill of Taoist practice, if used properly, it can unleash astonishing effects.

Once all the butterflies scattered, Heart Moon elder’s body returned to Reality.

She looked somewhat surprised, in her Divine Consciousness Power, when Zhuang Zhou’s Dream was cast, it seemed some of the power vanished, stolen?

When Ethan Smith opened his eyes, the Heart of the Holy Kingdom in his divine sense glowed brightly.

A mystical aura roamed within the Heart’s power, countless butterflies danced freely within.

Zhuang Zhou’s Dream.

Ethan Smith laughed heartily, snapping his right fingers.

Activating the skill of Heart of the Holy Kingdom, the dreamlike light and shadow appeared once more beside Ethan Smith.

“Oh?”

Heart Moon gasped.

Though she had suspected earlier, seeing it materialize before her still left her immensely stunned.

“Let me try.”

Heart Moon moved, her palm placed on Ethan Smith’s shoulder.

As she pushed, Ethan Smith’s shoulder exploded.

From the terrifying blood split, butterflies emerged, unfolding wings in silence.

Next moment, Ethan Smith landed before Heart Moon elder with a smile, his body perfectly intact.

Heart Moon elder moved her body, breaking Ethan Smith’s legs again.

In the flicker of dreamlike light, Ethan Smith returned to the moment before she caused damage.

“Such a strange cultivation skill, even I couldn’t perform it with such ease, moreover it seems to have no effect on your Divine Soul, yet when I cast it, my soul gets attacked by this power, needing deep introspection to dispel it, or else it becomes hard to distinguish dream from reality, but you seem unaffected after using it.”

Heart Moon gazed in shock, she couldn’t fathom Ethan Smith offered her such an unprecedented method, contemplating brought a sudden question.

“Is this the power of Heart of the Holy Kingdom?”

“Indeed, elder Heart Moon, this power is named Sequence of the container, it can auto-capture a type of force, yet the capturing has a probability, from my analysis, higher-level forces are harder to capture, and once used, there are nearly ten days before it can be used again due to long cooldown.”

Ethan Smith gazed at the fading gray in the vessel truth, voicing his words with a wry smile.

The cooldown time certainly correlates directly with the power level; the skill usage time of Zhuang Zhou’s Dream surpasses Retribution Seal.

“If it’s the power of Heart of the Holy Kingdom, this is understandable, otherwise it would be too extraordinary, the technique taking me a lifetime of understanding gets replicated, causing some jealousy.”

Heart Moon said with a wry smile.

“Thank you, Elder Heart Moon, if there’s anything to be done in the future, as long as I can, I’ll give my utmost.”

Ethan Smith spoke sincerely, originally probing, yet Xinyue wholehearted helped him comprehend her strongest force, which showed her Luna heart.

Ethan Smith gained such benefits, remaining silent would be unreasonable.

“Adhere to your nature, I trust my perception and your kind heart, this is mutual endeavor, planting seeds and reaping outcomes.”

Heart Moon shook her head, her complexion turned pale.

Her body trembled slightly, waving a hand towards Ethan Smith.

“You should leave, I’m going to close off for a while, casting Zhuang Zhou’s Dream for so many days already started serious backlash on me, timely dispelling the backlash force is crucial, or else it could drastically affect my future state. You’re to meet Serena next, I’ve arranged other matters.”

Ethan Smith’s throat moved several times, finally unable to utter anything.

He knelt on the ground, deeply bowing towards the direction Heart Moon departed.

Using top-level power naturally has severe backlash, Heart Moon elder weakened to such a state showed the consumption.

He slowly exited the dao lecture hall, feeling a surreal sensation returning to the world.

About ten days more, the dreamlike power of Zhuang Zhou’s Dream also affected his Divine Soul, inducing extreme weakness.
