Chapter 168: Domain
Void Prohibition Talisman can, for a short period of time, prevent powerful void realm cultivators from flying in a certain area.In terms of value, a Void-Ban Seal is slightly higher than the twenty t...At the bottom of the deepest lake, within that prison space.
Su Xin was carefully observing the prison around him.
After breaking through to the Nirvana realm, he had achieved enlightenment. He was transformed both physically and mentally. His consciousness, thoughts, and understanding of everything around him became significantly more accurate and clear.
This prison, though seemingly impenetrable, gradually became clear and understandable under Su Xin's careful observation.
In the blink of an eye, a month has gone by.
"This prison... it's more like a very particular kind of structure than a prison."
Within this structure, there exist individual "nodes" that are interconnected with each other, forming a unique and special pattern. Although the force employed is not strong, the structure formed, like an unbreakable prison, stands firm and unshakeable.
Su Xin had already realized that the power source within this prison around him was not strong.
It's really not that powerful, it feels like any random Five-Step Nirvana Venerable could perform it.
Even though it was only based on the power of an ordinary Five-Step Nirvana Venerable, and formed through a special structure into a prison, he poured all his strength into it but couldn't shake it at all. He even felt there wasn't any way to directly break out of it.
This framework is very unique.
And each of the nodes that form this framework... a total of three hundred and eighty-one nodes.
Over a month of observation, relying on his own insight, Su Xin has come to understand the prison quite well.
"Three hundred and eighty-one" Su Xin's eyes narrowed slightly.
This number is no ordinary one.
To know, one comprehends the realm of artistic conception, and the essence of that realm, encompassing a total of three hundred eighty-one kinds.
Once all 381 kinds of artistic conception and essence are fully comprehended, the artistic conception comprehension will reach a state of perfection.
Now, the nodes that make up this prison structure, a total of 381, could this be a coincidence
Or...
"This prison, could it be a realm of moods formed by combining 381 different perspectives into a special order"
"What domain" Su Xin's heart moved.
He had previously obtained the , which contained a detailed analysis of three hundred and eighty-one kinds of sword intent essences.
As mentioned above, when a person fully comprehends all three hundred and eighty-one essences of sword intent and achieves a state of complete sword intent mastery, the next step is to form a complete sword intent realm.
This sword intent domain is generally something that only transcendent powerhouses are qualified to reach.
As for the Nirvana realm, there are those who can attain this level, but they are extremely rare.
Even the Venerable Six Steps who created the ultimate teachings, in terms of comprehension and insight, mostly only reached a state of complete artistic conception.
And now the prison in front of him feels like a realm of artistic conception.
"How can I escape from this realm of imagination"
"Could it be that I need to comprehend all three hundred and eighty-one essences of sword intent, and then, with these three hundred and eighty-one essences as nodes, form a complete sword domain within myself before I can leave" Su Xin frowned tightly.
He had only spent a short time comprehending the sword intent to the third level, and even now he had only thoroughly understood over eighty types of sword intent essence. There was still a vast distance between him and the three hundred and eighty-one types of sword intent essence.
Although he was gifted and his comprehension and thinking abilities were further enhanced after reaching the Nirvana realm, his comprehension speed also accelerated significantly. However, it still takes him a considerable amount of time to fully comprehend all three hundred and eighty-one sword intents.
He couldn't possibly do it in just two years.
Not only that, he even used these sword intent essences as nodes to form a complete sword intent domain.
"Only two years, it shouldn't be long enough for me to form a complete sword intent domain. Perhaps, all I need is to have a sufficient understanding of the sword intent domain, or understand its rules and combination methods, forming a simple framework of the sword intent domain..." Su Xin pondered, then began to carefully contemplate.
Meanwhile, outside this prison space, there was a murky lakebed.
A colossal figure slowly lifted an eyelid, casting a glance upon the prison cell.
"In just one month, this human boy has already seen through the nature of the prison and started to ponder it"
"This speed is much faster than the two who arrived before. Could he really be the person the master is looking for"
After a slight pause, the massive creature closed its eyes again.
Within the confines of prison, Su Xin's heart had long since calmed.
Having grasped the essence of prison and with the prison itself as a reference, Su Xin's subsequent enlightenment became considerably easier.
The Supreme Bloodline's cultivation granted him extraordinary comprehension and mental development. His ability to grasp concepts was simply remarkable.
Even so, Su Xin still spent a whole year and one month before she fully understood the rules of arrangement and combination within the realm of intent.
Give it a try.
Su Xin stood up, his mind moved, and in an instant, he centered himself, with waves of sword intent spreading outward. In the blink of an eye, an invisible domain of sword intent formed within a ten-meter radius around him.
Of course, what he formed was merely the framework of the sword intent domain. Within it lay only the essence of sword intent that he had already comprehended.
It's like a huge fish tank, but the water inside only fills a tiny fraction of its capacity.
But at least the 'water tank' is formed.
Su Xin maintained his sword intent domain within this ten-meter radius, slowly walking forward. Soon, this sword intent domain came into contact with the prison.
In an instant, the two realms of meaning began to clash and collide.
While the domain was under assault, Su Xin pulled out his purple divine sword, took a step forward, and directly stabbed at the prison.
With a deafening roar~~~, the once impenetrable prison was instantly pierced by a massive gaping hole.
"Su Xin was overjoyed with success."
He was right. To escape this prison space, it's enough to form the framework of a sword intent domain around oneself.
At once, Su Xin's figure immediately followed that opening and walked out.
……
Outside the prison space, was the murky lake bottom. As soon as Su Xin stepped out, a large amount of lake water surged toward him. He immediately released his true essence to repel the water outwards.
He then looked around, and all he saw was a murky, dim lake. In front of him stood a pitch-black, giant black rock several tens of meters high, like a miniature mountain.
"Human boy, congratulations, you have passed the test of life and death set by the master. " That thick voice echoed again from the bottom of the lake.
Su Xin took a deep breath and said, "Senior, would you please show yourself"
"Here I've been right in front of you, you just never noticed."
As the deep voice finished speaking, Su Xin saw the small mountain over ten meters high in front of him begin to wriggle.
Under Su Xin's gaze of shock and trembling, the mountain transformed into a colossal creature measuring hundreds of meters long, its body as thick as a house.
Its body was covered in jet-black scales, fearsome and terrifying.
A giant, serpent-like skull with dark gold eyes had opened. They resembled two huge lanterns illuminating the lakebed in a blinding golden glow. Atop this ferocious skull sat an impossibly sharp horn.
"Dragon"
"Dragon!!"
Su Xin was shocked and dismayed.
On this desolate land, there are countless monsters, many of them powerful, even comparable to those who have transcended. There are quite a few such beasts as well.
However, the Jiao Long is definitely one of the most terrifying monsters in the Eastern Desolate land. This kind of monster also exists almost exclusively in legends, and few people have ever truly seen it.
Now... Su Xin never would have imagined that, beneath the depths of this lake's heart, a real dragon lurks!
Boom boom boom~~~~
As the enormous dragon's body moved, vast swathes of lake water surged wildly outward, creating wave after wave of dark currents.
The giant, ferocious head of the dragon loomed before Su Xin. Its pair of dark golden eyes, like lanterns, stared down at him from above.
Su Xin only felt a tremor run through her body and soul.
From head to toe, chills down my spine!
He once felt incredibly small when facing his master, the Sixth Mountain Lord. The invisible pressure was immense.
And now, being stared at by this dragon, the feeling of oppression is dozens of times stronger than facing the Sixth Mountain Master.
This is a Jiao Long, a mythical beast. Its sheer size alone is enough to inspire fear.
"Human boy, my name is Hei Long. You can call me Hei Long the Great," said the black dragon.
Su Xin took a deep breath, forcing down the fear in his heart, and immediately bowed with reverence: "Su Xin, pays respects to Black Dragon."
"Su Xin, you have passed the test set by the master. According to what the master instructed, you can receive the item he left behind."
The Black Dragon finished speaking, then opened its mouth wide, and from that ferocious bloody maw, a fist-sized blood-red stone bead slowly floated out.
This blood-red bead doesn't seem particularly special at first glance. The crimson light it emits is not dazzling, and upon casual observation, one wouldn't consider it a remarkable treasure.
However, when Su Xin saw the blood-colored jade bead for the first time, his figure trembled uncontrollably, and the blood vessels in his body instantly surged.
“It is it!”
"That's it!!"
Su Xin's eyes sparkled with unprecedented brilliance.
His heart was pounding uncontrollably, and he could barely catch his breath!
He didn't know what this blood-red bead was, but a strange and powerful desire welled up within him.
This feeling is just like a newborn baby seeing breast milk, or a beggar who has been hungry for days seeing a steaming hot meat bun.
That kind of longing was something Su Xin had never experienced before.
"Black Dragon Elder, what is this stone bead" Su Xin pressed down on his excitement and asked.
"I don't know. He shook his massive head. "Not even I do, not to mention the master. But I heard the master say that this stone bead once changed his fate, it was the greatest opportunity he ever encountered, and the most important treasure."
"So when the master sensed a formidable enemy approaching and felt his life was in danger, he specifically instructed me to flee with this stone bead first, just to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy.
"
“Then who is your master” Su Xin asked again.
"My master, his name is... Emperor Shi San!"
The black dragon's voice boomed through the depths of the abyss.
"He, was the first supreme bloodline awakener born into this world!!"
