As they continued down the stairs, there wasn't anything special that was around them.
It was like the special energy that had sucked away all the light from all the different light sources that they had used before didn't exist at all.
Or at least that was the case for the other three, but Lin Fan felt something strange as he walked down these stairs.
For some reason, the black hole that was inside his dantian began turning and sucking in the energy that was around him even though he couldn't see where it was. As the energy that was around him was sucked in, Lin Fan could feel that this sensation was different from before.
Instead of condensing another statue inside of his dantian, as the energy was swallowed by the black hole, the black hole seemed like it was getting larger. Not only did it become larger the more energy it swallowed, the suction force that it released also became stronger and pulled in more of this energy Lin Fan couldn't see.
Lin Fan didn't know where this energy came from or what kind of energy it was, but all he knew was that it was compatible with the black hole that was in his dantian.
During this entire time, there was only one other time that the black hole had reacted to allow Lin Fan to absorb a new law.
In fact, Lin Fan could have freely absorbed the laws here since there were plenty of them at the Soul Realm level, but the reason he didn't do that was because it wouldn't have helped him if he did.
To put it simply, even if Lin Fan wanted more laws, he had to consider the balance of power that was inside of his dantian. If he overwhelmed that, it would mean using more energy to control all the laws that were inside of him.
If that energy cost surpassed the energy that they provided him, it would mean that to keep this law, he would have to spend energy to control it which would decrease his power overall.
Take the yin laws that the ghosts all had, this was something that Lin Fan could have easily absorbed and made his own this entire time since there were plenty of ghosts to absorb this law from. Even the Child Soul Realm ghosts had this law, so if Lin Fan had wanted it, it would have actually been stronger than all the current laws that he had.
The problem with this was the two suns that were currently in his dantian.
These suns, or rather the cultivation technique that he practiced was a cultivation that had changed his physique into that of pure yang, which was the exact opposite of yin energy. This made his body very incompatible with all yin laws.
If Lin Fan was to suddenly develop yin laws, this would create a clash inside his body which would drain his energy instead of providing him energy since he would need to use more energy to control this law than to use it.
Of course, that could also be fixed depending on Lin Fan's grasp of the laws, but that was a completely different story.
After all, absorbing and developing these laws was a completely different story of actually mastering them.
If Lin Fan could take it a bit further and combine yin and yang laws together, that would have taken him to another level. By mixing yin and yang he would have been able to develop the Yin Yang Balance Physique, which was considered one of the supreme physiques in this world. Just possessing any one of these physiques would have made one an unparalleled genius, not to mention the other things that Lin Fan had…
By the time that they reached the end of the stairs, which took them around ten minutes, the black hole in Lin Fan's dantian had almost doubled in size. However, that was only temporary as it suddenly started collapsing in on itself before reforming to around the same size as before.
Even though it was the same size as before, Lin Fan could feel the density of the suction force that it released now. Lin Fan could tell that this wasn't just double the power from before, it was even more than three or four times. This increase in power was close to ten times compared to before.
Lin Fan couldn't help looking behind him at the stairs and wondering just what kind of power was left here, as well as who was the one that had left it.
Lin Fan had always wondered about the power of the black hole in his dantian, but he had never been able to find a straight answer. When Lin Fan tried to ask Momonga about it, he would always escape without giving an answer.
Still, Lin Fan threw this thought to the back of his mind once they came down since this was not something that he needed to worry about here.
When they arrived at the bottom of the stairs, they arrived in a corridor with many rooms that was completely dark, but the torches that they had brought with them had lit the way.
But there was something else that Lin Fan wanted to test.
Lin Fan had Mo Ze Chen pull out another glow stick, which was something he didn't want to do since these weren't normal glow sticks.
The glow sticks that Mo Ze Chen used were special custom glow sticks that were much harder than normal glow sticks, making them harder to break, which was perfect for exploring ruins. However, to make these harder glow sticks, there was a special material that had to be used and it definitely wasn't something cheap. Each one of these glow sticks cost Mo Ze Chen a small fortune and he had thought that he would be able to reuse the glow stick from before, which was why he had pulled it out.
Now that he knew that they would be rendered useless in this place, he didn't want to pull out another one since he was certain that it would be broken as well.
Still, he had no choice since he had already taken Lin Fan as his boss...But that didn't mean that he wouldn't try to stall for as long as possible trying to convince Lin Fan against this.
The two maids on the side were watching them and one leaned in to whisper into the other one's ear before both of them gave a giggle with a bit of a blush on their faces. Looking at the direction they were looking in, it was clear that this blush was caused by Mo Ze Chen.
This was just their strange taste, they liked men who were a bit chubby and Mo Ze Chen fit that bill perfectly. As well, since they were twins, that meant that they didn't mind sharing if they had to…
But Mo Ze Chen didn't know any of this as he was still trying to convince Lin Fan against this idea.
These two girls were puppets, but they weren't the same as the other puppets that Brainy used. These two girls were actually puppets that had their own free will and thinking, the only thing that Brainy used the parasite seed in them for was to instill loyalty into them. After all, there was nothing that made one more loyal than holding their lives in your hands.
But of course, since these two girls could think, it meant that they were also able to have emotions and other feelings. This was crucial since puppets with free will would be much more flexible than puppets without and could come up with ideas on their own. Sometimes the puppets might even come up with better ideas than their masters might.
Of course, that wasn't the case with these two girls since they were a bit more on the ditzy side.
Seeing that Mo Ze Chen wasn't making any progress, one of the two girls couldn't help saying, "Master, maybe we can use something else…"
But before she could finish, she saw Lin Fan looking over at her and she immediately flinched before turning her gaze away.
It wasn't just Brainy that had full control of her life, Lin Fan also had this same ability since he was Brainy's master, so he could control these parasite seeds to a certain extent. Naturally since Lin Fan was also using the puppets, it would mean that he would be able to control their lives.
Mo Ze Chen saw that Lin Fan was in no mood to negotiate, so he gave a sigh and prepared to pull out the glow stick. However, before he did, he didn't forget to look at the two maids and give them a grateful smile.
When the two of them saw this, there was a blush that suddenly came over their faces and they couldn't help looking down shyly.
But of course, Mo Ze Chen had already turned away.
Mo Ze Chen was someone that was actually quite devoted. Since he had already decided to chase after Lulu, he didn't pay any special attention to any other girls.
But it also had to be said that these girls really did have strange tastes.
There was Lin Fan beside Mo Ze Chen who was so handsome that even men couldn't help falling for him, but they chose to slightly chubby Mo Ze Chen…
Love really was unpredictable at times.
Mo Ze Chen had a bitter helpless smile on his face when he pulled out the glow stick, but the moment that he did, there was a surprised look that suddenly wiped out that bitter smile.
