"I see!"
Recalling the conversation between the First Elder and Zhao Ya, Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
Putting aside the fact that this kind of energy harvesting technique would harm countless innocent lives, just the method itself was already unacceptable.
Zhao Ya possessed the Pure Yin Body, and she had her own pride. Naturally, she would be unwilling to do such a thing.
"Back then, my mother was also unwilling to do so, so she sealed her cultivation and fled from the Glacier Plain Court," Zhao Ya said.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The Glacier Plain Court was one of the top powers on the Master Teacher Continent, and the cultivation techniques that they practiced were of the Pure Yin Body. As long as they released their energy, they would be able to find them no matter where they fled. Unless … they sealed their cultivation!
This was similar to how Lozosy had sealed her cultivation when she fled from the Luo Clan, so she was able to avoid detection.
Then, in order to save Zhang Xuan, she made a move to seal the Skyleaf King in the Qiu Wu Palace, thus attracting the attention of the Glacier Plain Court.
After which, she met Luo Chengxin in the Qingyuan Empire …
"This kind of method is indeed unheard of, but don't worry. If you don't wish to do so, no one will be able to make things difficult for you. I'll save you right now! "
Zhang Xuan waved his hands as he spoke with an unquestionable tone.
So what if you're from the Glacier Plain Court?
If the students of Zhang Xuan are unwilling to learn your methods, no one will be able to stop them!
Not even the heavens can stop me!
"Teacher …"
Sensing the doting tone in her teacher's voice, Zhao Ya's eyes reddened.
Her teacher had been several million li away from here, and yet, he had received her message and appeared before her within two hours. Just this in itself was worth more than a thousand words.
"Let's get out of this folded space first!"
Zhang Xuan was just about to grab Zhao Ya when his body suddenly sank, and his Primordial Spirit nearly fell from the sky.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Ya didn't have any cultivation at the moment, so logically speaking, he should have been able to lift her up with a single finger. Yet, why was her weight heavier than a mountain?
"Teacher, my zhenqi has been sealed by the Heaven Sealing Lock …"
Zhao Ya's face paled, and her breathing hastened. It was as if she was enduring some kind of excruciating pain, and her body suddenly slumped to the ground.
"Heaven Sealing Lock? Seal True Breath? "
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment. "You mean to say that … the First Elder infused the Heaven Sealing Lock into your body and sealed your meridians?"
He had heard from Elder Bai that the other party might have used the Heaven Sealing Lock on her, but seeing that there was nothing on her body, he was relieved. He had thought that the other party wouldn't be so vicious on account of their friendship, but who could have thought that the other party would actually go even further … and fuse the Heaven Sealing Lock into her body!
The Heaven Sealing Lock was a torture tool that even Saint 9-dan experts feared. Normally, it was used to bind one's limbs, making it nigh impossible for one to resist. However, when it was infused into one's body to seal one's meridians, it was equivalent to sealing one's zhenqi entirely. The slightest mistake could very well result in the destruction of one's cultivation, rendering one a cripple!
"Yes …"
Lying on the ground, Zhao Ya was barely breathing. She was in so much pain that it seemed like she would lose consciousness at any moment.
"Damn it, I'll help you deal with it right now …"
With an awful look on his face, Zhang Xuan hurriedly rushed forward, intending to use the Library of Heaven's Path to examine the flaws of the Heaven Sealing Lock, only to realize that his current form was that of a soul oracle!
Soul oracles were able to view books and record them into the Library of Heaven's Path. However, due to the intangible nature of the Library of Heaven's Path, it was impossible for him to touch a book on it.
Unless … Zhao Ya could stand up and perform a fist technique!
But given her current condition, it was impossible for her to do so.
Zhang Xuan knew that this wasn't the time for him to lose his temper, so he quickly released his grip on the other party. At the same time, he instructed, "Don't circulate your zhenqi, and don't use any energy at all!"
Nodding in understanding, Zhao Ya stopped using her zhenqi. It took five whole minutes before she finally recovered. Under the excruciating pain, her clothes were drenched in sweat.
"I'm fine now …"
Struggling to her feet, Zhao Ya said weakly, "The Heaven Sealing Lock has been fused into my body, sealing my meridians. Not only will I be unable to use any energy, I won't be able to get close to it either. Otherwise, I'll immediately trigger the punishment!"
"Humph!" Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly.
This Great Elder was indeed ruthless.
She couldn't use her zhenqi, and she couldn't allow anyone to save her either … As soon as the First Elder made a move, she would be doomed. Even Zhang Xuan wouldn't be able to resolve this issue easily.
"Show me a fist technique in the air!"
Knowing that the matter at hand was to resolve this issue, Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Yes!" Zhao Ya clenched her fists tightly and punched lightly in the air.
Even though she didn't use any of her zhenqi, cold sweat still trickled down her forehead, and her face paled.
Weng!
A book appeared in Zhang Xuan's mind.
He quickly flipped it open.
"Zhao Ya, young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court … Flaws: 1. Her Pure Yin Body has reached seven dans. 2. Her meridians have been sealed by the Heaven Sealing Lock, rendering her unable to use her zhenqi. 3 … "
Soon, Zhang Xuan finished reading the content, and his complexion darkened.
The book did mention the Heaven Sealing Lock, but it only described Zhao Ya's current condition. It didn't mention the flaws of the Heaven Sealing Lock at all.
In other words, if he were to ask the other party to execute a fist technique, he would only be able to see the flaws in her cultivation. It had nothing to do with the Heaven Sealing Lock at all.
Even the Library of Heaven's Path wouldn't be able to do that!
Unless I can find the exact location of the Heaven Sealing Lock and find a way to come into contact with it … or get the First Elder to retrieve it herself, there's nothing I can do!
Zhang Xuan's complexion darkened further and further as his thoughts raced through his mind.
The other party had planted a bomb in Zhao Ya's body, and she was the only one who could deal with it. If anyone else were to come into contact with it, it would explode …
"Teacher …"
Zhao Ya turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"Don't worry. If I say that I can save you, I'll definitely be able to do it. Follow me!"
Deciding not to dwell on this matter any longer, Zhang Xuan led the way with his soul, and Zhao Ya followed closely behind him.
As long as he didn't use his zhenqi, he wouldn't incur the punishment of the Heaven Sealing Lock. Even though Zhao Ya had no cultivation at the moment, she was still able to walk on her own.
Walking out of the room, Zhang Xuan headed to the spot where the First Elder and the others had left. He tapped on the space in front of him, and a book appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
It was difficult to find the spatial node in the outside world, but it wasn't too difficult to leave.
Browsing through the book, Zhang Xuan soon found a flaw in the spatial node. Driving his soul, he tapped on it.
Kacha!
A crack immediately appeared in the previously stable spatial node, and it grew larger and larger. Eventually, a massive fissure appeared.
"The fissure will close up very soon. We have to move quickly!"
Zhang Xuan instructed as he rushed toward the fissure. Zhao Ya hurriedly followed behind him.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the spatial node, they saw the fissure slowly closing up. It was as if the room they had been in had vanished.
"Let's head to where Elder Bai is …"
Arriving at the entrance of the Chanting Serenity Hall, Zhang Xuan scanned the surroundings, and seeing that the First Elder and the others weren't around, he heaved a sigh of relief and sent a telepathic message over.
