Tian Lin and the others mostly fell silent in the face of Sun Kun's smile. Clearly, this matter was not funny to them.
However, the bald crane, which had turned into a stone not too far away, immediately turned back into the big yellow dog when it heard the word 'delicious'. It stuck out its tongue and stared at the small bottle Sun Kun put away with sparkling eyes. No one knew what it was thinking about, but it looked as if it was about to start drooling.
"Fellow Daoist Su, this dog of yours that is skilled in transformation is quite interesting." Sun Kun turned his head around and cast a glance at the big yellow dog before smiling.
"Damn you, you're the dog! I'm the dragon!" the bald crane suddenly said. The bald crane suddenly spoke and even bared its teeth at Sun Kun. This scene stunned Sun Kun, and even the people by his side looked over.
Su Ming let out a fake cough and glared at the bald crane before he spoke to the crowd and avoided the topic.
"If there are more of these … threads of flesh in the sealed region, then the danger will increase by too much." Su Ming's words caused Long Li and the others to fall silent. Even Ye Shen Tong, who had always been domineering, felt lingering fear in his heart. He looked towards Tian Lin. After all, Tian Lin was the one who had made all the plans.
Tian Lin remained silent for a moment before he spoke resolutely. "I was careless in this matter. I didn't expect that there would be such a ferocious creature in the sealed region … How about this? I'm willing to go down and take a look. If there's no danger, then you can go down. If there's danger … Since I'm the one who started this and had the courage to have my Nascent Divinity turn over to my physical body, then I will naturally not drag all of you down with me."
Long Li and Sun Kun did not speak. A glint appeared in Ye Shen Tong's eyes, but he did not speak. Su Ming remained silent by the side.
Without any hesitation, Tian Lin lifted his right foot and stomped on the ground in the crack in the canyon. With it, the illusion of the big tree manifested once again. As the branches twisted, cracking sounds came from under Tian Lin's feet, and a large amount of cracks appeared on the ground. As they spread out, a loud bang rang out, and the ground caved in to form a deep pit. Tian Lin flew into it without any hesitation.
After a moment, Tian Lin's voice came from within the pit.
"My fellow Daoists, you can come down now. There … are no living threads of flesh in this place."
Long Li stepped into the sunken pit, followed by Sun Kun. Ye Shen Tong hesitated for a moment before he looked towards Su Ming. It was clear from his gaze that he wanted to be the last to enter.
Su Ming did not speak. He brought the bald crane with him and charged into the pit. Once he entered, a glint immediately appeared in his eyes, and soon after, he heard Ye Shen Tong, who was the last to step into the place, sucking in a sharp breath.
It was a huge structure that looked like a beehive. Apart from the uneven ground, there were countless densely-packed round holes in the surroundings. The reason why the ground was uneven was because it was covered in a layer of dim, thin threads. There seemed to be hundreds of thousands of them, and a rotten smell spread out, causing everyone who stepped into this place to have grave expressions in the air.
Ye Shen Tong sucked in a sharp breath and asked in shock, "The mighty cultivator of the alien race sealed in this planet … Just … Just how big is his body?"
Tian Lin hesitated for a moment before he said slowly, "Something's not right. We might not have seen any sealed alien race, but most of us have seen the alien races that occasionally appear in the depths of the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. They look the same as us, and we've never seen anyone as big as a ferocious beast …"
While the people were shocked, Su Ming stared at the numerous round holes before him. During that instant just now, he suddenly had a feeling as if he was being watched by some sort of gaze. That feeling disappeared in an instant, but there was no way Su Ming would be wrong about it, because this was not what he had sensed with his divine sense, and neither was it what his body had sensed. It was … his soul!
A ripple had appeared in his Abyss Builder soul during that instant just now.
Judging by the other people's expressions, it was clear that only Su Ming himself had noticed that strange gaze.
"I know about this." Long Li's voice attracted the people's attention. Su Ming became wary, but not a single hint of his thoughts could be seen on his face.
"It's not because of how big the alien race's bodies are, but because the seals here should be the Seal of Flesh and Soul, one of the ten seals from the four Great True Worlds, the One Kalpa Seal, Three Snares Seal, and Six Dao Seal!
"These ten different seals are the Arts the four Great True Worlds used specifically to suppress the mighty cultivators of the alien races in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. Thank goodness we ran into the Six Dao Seal and not the Three Snares Seal, or else I would have immediately run as far away as I could and not have dared to touch it," Long Li said languidly. Not only had Su Ming never heard of these things before, even Tian Lin and the others had never heard of them before.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Long, please tell me in detail. My understanding towards this Art of Sealing is truly not great. "
"The Six Dao Seal refers to six seals of the same Realm. They are also the seals that exist in most of the cultivation planets in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence to suppress the alien races.
"The power of this seal is incredibly great, and it suppresses the powerful generals of the alien races. Based on the strength of the alien races, even the six seals of the same Realm will differ.
"At the most, six seals will appear at the same time, and at the weakest, there will only be one seal," Long Li explained slowly. Once he looked around him, a glint appeared in his eyes.
"There should only be one seal in this place. Looks like the rumors in some of the ancient scrolls regarding this mighty cultivator of the alien race, the Duke of Crimson Flame, are wrong. This person should be someone with a powerful physical body and did not transcend using his own power, or else the Seal of Flesh and Soul wouldn't have appeared." But perhaps there are still six seals in the depths of this place. In any case, the more seals there are, the stronger this person was in the past. "Long Li pointed at the numerous threads of flesh on the ground.
"The so-called Seal of Flesh and Soul is actually quite simple. Everyone knows that there is a torture known as death by a thousand cuts. A person's flesh must be cut off piece by piece, and only when they are cut into thousands of pieces will they die perfectly. "This is the principle behind the Seal of Flesh and Soul. With this seal, the alien race's mighty cultivator's flesh and blood will be cut into pieces … and since the alien race's mighty cultivator still has life force and can slowly recover, there is no end to this death by a thousand cuts.
"That's why the numerous threads of flesh appeared, causing everyone to mistakenly believe that the alien race's mighty cultivator has a huge body. Look at the feeling of time on these threads of flesh. It's clear that they didn't appear at the same time, but have slowly accumulated over countless years." Long Li's words were ghastly, and when they fell into the people's ears, their voices turned into silence.
Su Ming looked at the threads of flesh on the ground. Even if he had lost his sense of pain, he was still moved by the torture the alien race's mighty cultivator had gone through, and he also fell silent towards the four Great True Worlds' cruelty.
"Fellow Daoist Long, you mentioned One Kalpa, Three Snare, and Six Dao Seals just now. Besides the Six Dao Seals, what sort of seals are the Three Snare Seals?" Sun Kun asked with interest.
"That's right. Fellow Daoist Long, please tell us." Tian Lin nodded. By his side, Ye Shen Tong also focused his attention on Su Ming.
Long Li remained silent for a moment before he spoke again slowly.
"The difference between the Three Snare Seals and the Six Dao Seals is that the Six Dao Seals can only suppress one person, while the Three Snare Seals … Heh heh, they can suppress an entire race! "However, the Three Snare Seals are incredibly rare in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, and they can suppress an entire race. If you truly run into them, then you can only pray for your own good," Long Li said flatly. When he saw that the people around him clearly still had the intention to ask him questions, he decided that he might as well not hide it anymore and spoke.
"The seal that is even stronger than the Three Snare Seals is the One Kalpa Seal. This seal doesn't suppress ordinary powerful warriors, neither does it suppress an entire race. Instead … it suppresses and seals … the kings of the alien races!
"This seal is also known as the King's Seal, and the people it suppresses are all famous people. But you don't have to worry, this sort of King's Seal is even rarer." Long Li smiled ghastly.
Tian Lin remained silent for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Long, can you guarantee that what you said is true? Where did you hear this from?"
"I stayed in Black Ink Planet for some time, and I heard it from someone there. I can't guarantee whether it's true or not." Long Li looked as if he did not want to talk about the root of the matter, so he just brushed it off.
"Is there a place where all ten of the One Kalpa Seals, Three Snare Seals, and Six Dao Seals are suppressed?" Su Ming asked calmly from the side.
Once he said these words, the area immediately fell silent. After some time, Long Li nodded.
"There should be, but the person suppressed in this sort of place might not be a great cultivator in Solar Kalpa Realm. There's a high possibility that … it's a terrifying existence who has truly stepped into Plane Kalpa Realm and is half a step away from becoming a Master of Fate, Lives, and Death."
Tian Lin sucked in a deep breath and said to Su Ming and the others, "Fellow Daoist Long, thank you for telling us about the seal. Right now, it would be better for us to break the seal in this place step by step. The earlier we obtain our serendipity, the earlier we can leave."
"According to the plan, fellow Daoist Long, please spread your divine sense outwards. I will do my best to help you find the closest and weakest spot. Then, I will have to ask you to help fellow Daoist Su and fellow Daoist Sun to test and break the seal." Tian Lin wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed towards the group.
Long Li nodded and spread his divine sense outwards. Tian Lin did the same. As the two of them worked together, they immediately swept through the area and sent their divine senses into each of the circular holes. About an hour later, the two of them looked slightly tired. When they retrieved their divine senses, Tian Lin lifted his right hand and swung it before himself. Immediately, a layer of gentle light shone on one of the many circular holes.
"Our divine senses can't reach into the depths either, but we have a seven-tenths of a chance that this is the shortest way to break in." Once Tian Lin finished speaking, Sun Kun took a step forward and arrived at the marked circular hole. He cast it a few scrutinizing glances, then lifted his right hand to form a seal and started calculating.
"Brother Su?" Tian Lin frowned and looked towards Su Ming.
"I can try to break the seal in the world outside, but it's difficult for me to break the seal in this place." Su Ming took a few steps forward and looked at the screen of light with a frown for a moment before he shook his head.
Tian Lin was just about to speak when Sun Kun turned his head around and looked towards Ye Shen Tong.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, strike this place with your full power. Remember, split your power into nine batches. When you send the third and eighth batches, you have to stop for the span of three breaths. When you send the sixth and ninth batches, you have to stop for the span of two breaths. This punch contains these changes." Sun Kun pointed towards a spot at the bottom right corner of the circular hole.
Without another word, Ye Shen Tong closed in on that spot. Once his punch landed accurately on that spot, the area trembled with a bang, and the circular hole instantly crumbled to reveal a wide tunnel within.
Tian Lin was the first to enter, followed by Ye Shen Tong and the others, and finally, Su Ming. At the instant Su Ming stepped into the tunnel, he turned around swiftly to look behind him, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes.
However, there was no one behind him. His divine sense was also quiet, but during that instant just now, Su Ming had once again felt as if someone had looked at him from behind for the second time.
I have to go out and deal with some matters at home, so I'm going out with my wife. I've asked for four days of leave from today to Friday, and I'll make up for it when I come back.
