The appearance of the crack brought hopes to Lin Xiao. He dashed towards the Ocean of Conception again with his spiritual energy under control. The instant his spiritual energy made its way through the rift, Lin Xiao got overwhelmed by a sharp pain.
A splitting headache inflicted an insufferable torture on him — like a hammer knocking on his crown nonstop.
His face crimsoned all of a sudden straight away, and turned ghostly pale, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Li Taixuan was frightened out of his wits on seeing Lin Xiao's reaction — which was an evident symptom of being possessed by the devil. If it went on like that, Lin Xiao wouldn't be able to make it.
However agitated Li was, his hands were tied. It was only Lin Xiao who could tackle his own plight.
In a short while, Li Taixuan became fervently flustered on seeing Lin Xiao grit his teeth, trembling with sweats cascading down his body. The dense vapor of sweats covered Lin Xiao's body with a coat of haze, which appeared awfully appalling.
Though standing by, Li Taixuan could tell how dreadful the suffering was that Lin Xiao was going through based on Lin's reaction. Li Taixuan thought to himself, "How I wish I could take the suffering for him!" But his wish was merely pointless — Lin Xiao was supposed to take all that for himself.
In fact, while Li Taixuan was anxious about Lin Xiao, Lin was hiding his energy and biding his time. He was proceeding with his attempts to open the Ocean of Conception.
Lin Xiao was almost spaced-out because of the pain, but he was aware he was supposed to stay clearheaded. Hence he started the running of The Refining Divine Pithy Formula, which helped him come back to himself. However, the sober he got, the more unbearable the ineffable acute headache became. He even had a delusion that his head was about to explode anytime.
Lin Xiao once carved out his way in the Ocean of Conception in a battle with the Yanyu Demonic Ape at the Mount Yunmeng. The process panned out satisfyingly. Thus Lin Xiao failed to assess the difficulty in doing it again.
Although Lin Xiao already learned that The Doctrines of Limbo was quite difficult after reading the introduction contained in the jade-slip book, the difficulty still went far beyond his imagination.
It was no exaggeration to say that Lin Xiao would have died during his cultivation without his invincible physique.
He was ignorant about the hazard of The Doctrines of Limbo — it was called a taboo for the cultivation of the Refining Divine Realm. It may even take the life of the immortals!
There had been someone reminding the later generations that they should stay away from The Doctrines of Limbo.
Be that as it may, there have been numerous talents scrambling to study this cultivation method. Needless to say, most of them lost their life for it.
It was fair to say, The Doctrines of Limbo was a lethal cultivation method. Albeit as concise as it was, it had only spared the prior owner of it over the past millions of years.
But Lin Xiao was totally in dark about all this. He insisted that he was able to break a path in the Ocean of Conception as he had been there before.
The idea of entering the ocean developed into Lin Xiao's conviction, relying on which Lin Xiao made numberless attempts. At last, his attempt even became part of his instinct.
During the process, under the impact of the fierce pain, Lin Xiao couldn't get around to following up with his progress of opening the Ocean of Conception. He didn't notice that it was showing its whole picture bit by bit until it became of the size of the prior one.
