Chapter 1100 Ninefold Mystic Water Chain V4 Fang Dinghai Stele
Su Mingyi stretched out his palm and gently pressed it on the surface of the Eternal Silence Crystal.
At this moment, he was no longer simply resisting or retaliating, but rather like a humble listener, sensing the energy flow within the Xuanjing.
The "freedom" principle in "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique" emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and the cycle of life, stating that one is part of the life network rather than an isolated object to be plundered.
Therefore, when Su Mingyi's palm touched the Xuanjing, he did not directly use his internal force to attack, but instead merged his own vitality with the annihilation power inside the Xuanjing.
Initially, the annihilating power within the Xuanjing resisted fiercely, attempting to devour Su Mingyi's life force.
However, Su Mingyi's state of mind had already aligned with the Daoist principles, and he remained unmoved.
He guided his own life force, which seeped into the core of the Xuanjing like a trickle, and slowly moved forward along the flow of the power of annihilation.
He was like a skilled doctor, sorting out the patient's path, gradually guiding and transforming those rigid, stagnant, and destructive forces.
As time went by, the trembling of the Eternal Silence Crystal gradually subsided, and its dark blue light softened considerably.
The wisp of pale mist at the core was rotating at a slower and slower speed, and the face in the mist was no longer so painfully distorted, but instead revealed a sense of relief.
Su Mingyi could sense that the destructive power within the Xuanjing was slowly being transformed into life, and the imprisoned souls were gradually regaining their senses.
Just then, Su Mingyi suddenly sensed something unusual—in the deepest core of the Eternal Silence Crystal, besides the wisp of pale mist, there seemed to be another completely different power hidden.
This power was extremely secretive; if he hadn't already established a deep connection with the Xuanjing, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
It is not as cold and predatory as the power of annihilation; instead, it carries an ancient, majestic, and orderly aura, like the primordial chaos at the beginning of the world, or the sealing power left behind by ancient gods.
"what is this?"
Su Mingyi was puzzled, so he quickly concentrated and carefully investigated.
He discovered that this mysterious force had actually formed a separate seal, enveloping the core of the pale mist.
This seal is extremely ingenious, completely different from the "Ninefold Mystic Water Chain" and "Four Directions Sea-Stabilizing Stele" outside. It was not applied by external force, but was directly imprinted on the essence of the Eternal Silence Mystic Crystal, as if it were a part of the Mystic Crystal itself.
"A seal within a seal..." Su Mingyi's pupils shrank sharply; this discovery shocked him immensely.
Clearly, when the ancient powerful beings sealed the Eternal Silence Crystal, they not only used the Ninefold Mystic Water Chain and the Four Directions Sea-Stabilizing Stele, but also set up a deeper seal inside the crystal.
The function of this internal seal does not seem to be to suppress the power of annihilation, but rather it seems to be protecting something, or rather, imprisoning something at the core of the pale mist.
Su Mingyi carefully guided his own internal energy of cloud energy, penetrating towards the inner seal.
The power of this seal far exceeded his imagination; even the "Flowing Clouds Freedom" realm of the "Illusory Clouds Freedom Technique" was difficult to break through easily.
He could sense that the seal was covered with even more ancient and obscure runes. These runes were not ancient scripts, but rather carried a sense of the beginning of chaos and the formation of the Great Dao, clearly originating from an ancient era even earlier than the ancient times.
"Could it be that there is an even greater secret hidden within the remnant soul of the Ancestor of Annihilation?" Su Mingyi's curiosity grew.
He increased the output of his internal energy, and the internal energy of the clouds surged like a rushing river, constantly impacting the internal seal.
Thanks to his continued efforts, a tiny crack finally appeared on the seal.
Through the crack, Su Mingyi saw that at the core of the seal, there was a black dot the size of a fingernail floating.
This point of light was as black as ink, yet it exuded an indescribable suction force, as if it could devour all light and energy.
Its surface was calm and still, yet it instilled in Su Mingyi a fear that came from the depths of his soul.
He could sense that the power contained within this point of light was far more terrifying than the Eternal Silence Crystal itself; it was a power capable of destroying heaven and earth and returning everything to chaos.
"What exactly is this thing?" Su Mingyi's heart began to race.
Just then, the black dot of light seemed to sense the outside world's prying eyes and suddenly trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a blurry fragment of information flooded into Su Mingyi's mind like a tidal wave:
"Chaos... Annihilation... Reincarnation... Breaking the Seal... Returning..."
The information was fragmented and difficult to understand, but Su Mingyi still managed to glean a few key pieces of information from it.
This black dot of light seems to be related to chaos and has a close connection with the path of transcending life and death pursued by the Ancestor of Annihilation.
The words "returning from the seal" sent chills down his spine.
Clearly, this black dot of light, doubly sealed and imprisoned, is the true secret behind the Eternal Silence Crystal. Once it breaks free, it will bring devastating disaster to the entire world.
Just as Su Mingyi was about to investigate further, the black light suddenly unleashed a terrifying pressure, instantly shattering the cloud-like internal energy he had infiltrated.
Su Mingyi was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood and flying backward.
At the same time, the Eternal Silence Crystal trembled violently, and the pale mist at its core became violent again, with the dark blue light surging. Clearly, the internal seal's disturbance had triggered a backlash from the crystal.
"Not good!" Su Mingyi was startled and quickly steadied himself, circulating the "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique" once again.
This time, he directly activated the third level of his cultivation technique—"Illusory Cloud True Self".
In an instant, Su Mingyi's body radiated a dazzling golden light. His figure was no longer an illusory cloud, but became incredibly solid, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.
His aura became vast and ethereal, and he himself became the pivot of the cycle of life in heaven and earth. I am nature, untouched by any law.
Under the "Illusory Cloud True Self" realm, Su Mingyi's power underwent a qualitative improvement. He was no longer merely resisting or transforming the annihilating power of the Eternal Silence Crystal, but fundamentally reversing this plundering.
Su Mingyi stretched out his hands and gently pressed them against the Eternal Silence Crystal. Countless milky white clouds fell like spring rain, not only suppressing the raging pale mist but also repairing the cracks in the internal seal.
The eerie blue light of the Eternal Silence Crystal gradually receded, and the pale mist at its core returned to a slow and steady state. The imprisoned souls also quieted down, as if they had entered a deep sleep.
The deathly power in the deep sea gradually dissipated, the seawater regained its vitality and began to flow slowly, and sunlight penetrated the seawater, shining into the bottom of the abyss, bringing long-lost light and warmth.
Su Mingyi slowly withdrew his hands, his face somewhat pale, but his eyes were unusually bright.
He looked at the Eternal Silence Crystal floating in the core of the abyss, and his heart was filled with emotion.
He not only successfully countered the Eternal Silence Crystal and freed the imprisoned spirits, but also discovered the seal within the seal, touching upon a shocking secret that could affect the safety of the entire world.
“Chaos... Annihilation... Reincarnation…” Su Mingyi murmured the fragments of information in his mind, his heart filled with doubt and solemnity.
He knew that the secrets behind this Eternal Silence Crystal were far more than what he had discovered so far.
Why did the Ancestor of Annihilation become connected with the power of chaos?
What exactly is that black dot of light?
Why would an ancient powerful being set up a double seal to imprison him?
He needs to find the answers to all of this.
Just then, the Eternal Silence Crystal suddenly emitted a soft blue light, and the pale mist at its core slowly rotated, conveying a sense of gratitude and submission to Su Mingyi.
Clearly, under Su Mingyi's transformation and suppression, the resentment and greed in the remnant soul of the Ancestor of Annihilation have been gradually worn away, leaving only a trace of consciousness that acknowledges Su Mingyi's power.
At the same time, the crimson patterns on the surface of the crystal gradually faded, revealing the dark blue crystal's true color, which radiated a warm luster.
The life energy that had been devoured by the Xuanjing transformed into countless golden specks of light, surging out of the Xuanjing and spreading to all parts of the seabed, nourishing this sea area that had been eroded by death for thousands of years.
Su Mingyi stretched out his hand, and the Eternal Silence Crystal transformed into a stream of light, landing in his palm.
It felt cool to the touch, but it no longer possessed any desolate power; instead, it carried a warm and vibrant energy.
He could feel a strange connection established between himself and the Mystic Crystal, as if the Mystic Crystal had become a part of his body.
"From now on, you will follow me," Su Mingyi said softly.
He knew that although this Eternal Silence Crystal had once been a symbol of evil, under the restraint and transformation of the "Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique," it had become a special treasure containing immense vitality and annihilating power. If used properly, it would surely become a powerful aid on his future path of cultivation.
But Su Mingyi did not forget the black light spot sealed in the core of the Xuanjing.
He could sense that although the power of that point of light was temporarily suppressed, it had not disappeared. Instead, it was like a dormant beast, waiting for the opportunity to break free.
He knew that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier. He not only had to continue improving his cultivation, but also had to find a way to completely eliminate the threat posed by that black dot of light.
Su Mingyi looked up at the sea, the sunlight shining through the water onto his face, warm and dazzling.
He took a deep breath, stored the Eternal Silence Crystal in his dantian, and turned to fly towards Su Xiaoya and the others—he had already sensed Su Xiaoya's presence.
The crisis in the deep sea abyss was temporarily averted, but he had no idea where the secret behind this Eternal Silence Crystal would lead him.
But he was not afraid!
The deep sea gradually returned to calm.
But this once desolate land is no longer a forbidden zone for life—those released sparks of life have transformed into seeds of vitality, taking root and sprouting in the seawater.
I believe that this place will soon become vibrant again and a new paradise for life.
