An Lin suppressed his cultivation base to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage. At the same time, he also concealed his Heavenly Dao of Darkness. This would allow him to evade the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.
In fact, many super-mighty beings had considered this method before. However, they would be discovered by the Heavenly Dao every time they tried to conceal their cultivation base. Afterward, they would suffer a backlash so serious that they would be on the verge of death.
However, An Lin was different. His understanding of the Heavenly Dao could rank inside the top five in the entire Tai Chu Continent. The more one understood the Heavenly Dao, the more they understood how to trick heaven and earth.
Cyril was a very good example of this.
Thinking back to the past, the first time that he met Cyril was when Cyril was returning from the Ancient Tai Chu Realm. The restrictions of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm had been completely ineffective against him.
