Su Luo began by recounting the history of the four greatest empires, then moved on to the six major powers, including the Qingxu Heaven, the Taichu Holy Land, the Longevity Palace, the Six Desires Cult, the Dark Demon Ridge, and Penglai Island. The giants listened with great interest, their exclamations of awe punctuated by gasps.
"Aiyo!"
They had never heard of these powers; they sounded formidable.
"Kesuo!"
The outside world had changed so much. They longed to venture out and see it for themselves!
"Ula!"
I miss the Gloomy Forest. I wonder if my grand house is still there…
"Bamuya!"
Is that Mo Luojia fellow so powerful? I wonder if he can withstand one of my axes. I will surely spar with him one day. I am the twenty-seventh ranked warrior of the Giant race!
Excited voices erupted, and the giants, thrilled by Su Luo's tales, clamored to explore the outside world. Su Luo's mouth felt parched, but they kept asking questions, leaving her no time to catch her breath.
The Giant King finally raised his arm, silencing the clamor.
"Ukso."
Friend, thank you. We now have a general understanding of the outside world, which is indeed different from tens of thousands of years ago. We wish only to break the seal and leave this prison, to venture out and find the Emperor to help him defeat his enemies. Can you assist us?
Seeing the Giant King's pleading gaze, his head slightly bowed, Su Luo found herself in a predicament.
Of course, she was willing to help.
But even with her Divine Eye, this seal was cast by Emperor Langkui. Could she break it?
Su Luo relayed the situation as she understood it to Li Tianjue.
"I see."
Li Tianjue was initially surprised, but quickly calmed down. He did not object. "These giants certainly do not appear savage or cruel. Otherwise, they would have killed everyone long ago and had no need to lie to trick us. Su Luo, if you are capable, it would be good to help them."
Su Luo nodded. "Giant King, while I am willing to help you, I am not certain I can succeed. Could you tell me more about the seal?"
At this moment, she genuinely wished to help these pitiable and simple giants.
Little did she know, this act of kindness would one day bring her a colossal giant army!
The Giant King joyfully raised his golden horn and let out a roar.
In response, all the giants roared back, stomping their feet and raising their hands in jubilation. The ground rumbled, and their cheers shook the heavens.
Everyone was startled, thinking the giants were about to attack. They only relaxed when the giants calmed down.
The Giant King blew the golden horn, and something astonishing happened.
In the great hall's forecourt, where the giants had previously arrayed themselves, a white light emanated, revealing a colossal sealing formation.
The seal began to rotate. Instead of the powerful fluctuations and earth-shattering sounds Su Luo had anticipated, it emitted a soft glow, exuding a mystical aura that spread like ripples throughout the entire Giant King's Court.
The Giant King strode forward, each step covering ten zhang. Soon, he stood before the seal.
"Ulazo!"
This seal was initially placed by the Emperor. Because of it, we are unable to leave this place. Friend, can you help us break this seal?
The Giant King placed all his hope on Su Luo, who felt immense pressure.
Gazing at the intricate sealing formation, Su Luo activated her Divine Eye.
Petrification Seal???
"Er, actually…" Although Su Luo had anticipated something, she was still somewhat disappointed when her Divine Eye only displayed the name of the seal and not its complete details.
This sealing formation was of a high level, beyond her current cultivation's ability to perceive.
Su Luo became troubled. Despite her diligent cultivation, her days were filled with too many tasks. Even though she practiced morning and night before attending to other matters, her progress in the Flowing Light Forest had still fallen behind in recent days.
What to do?
If she admitted she couldn't help, the Giant King and the others would surely be disappointed.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Su Luo.
She couldn't discern the Petrification Seal because it was cast by Emperor Langkui, its level exceeding her current detection range. However, she could find the answer within the giants themselves!
The Petrification Seal only affected giants; it wasn't indiscriminate. Since they had trespassed into the Giant King's Court without any unusual changes, it was clear that the Petrification Seal had a specific impact only on the giants.
By understanding the abnormalities within the giants, she could find a solution!
Su Luo first activated her Divine Eye on the Giant King.
The result was as she expected, with only a few words displayed: Giant King Soksis???
She then activated her Divine Eye on Abu. This time, she got results.
Giant Abu: Resides in the Giant King's Court, age thirty-seven thousand six hundred twenty-two years. His strength is equivalent to a fifth-tier Venerable. He enjoys apple pies and milk cake the most. He is skilled in the Hurricane Axe, Spear Thrust…
Affected by the Petrification Seal, he turns to stone the moment he approaches the entrance of the Giant King's Court.
Over time, the sealed energy has infiltrated his body. Even without approaching the court's entrance, sleep causes him to fall into a petrified state. Only when someone from outside the court approaches can he temporarily recover. Additionally, he can be awakened by the golden horn.
"So it's really like this!"
Su Luo continued reading, and indeed, her Divine Eye provided a method to break the seal.
First, destroy the Petrification Seal formation. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Su Luo shook her head after reading just a few lines. It required immense power and various rare auxiliary materials to destroy, which was impossible.
However, the second method, which focused on the giants themselves, involved removing the infiltrated sealed energy from their bodies and then isolating the seal's influence on them, thereby solving the problem.
Of course, this method was still not simple and required a certain amount of time.
Su Luo conveyed the second method to the Giant King, saying, "I can first help you resolve the issue of internal energy erosion, so you will no longer petrify after falling asleep. However, a complete resolution will take time and require some auxiliary materials."
The Giant King laughed like thunder. "Soya ha!"
That is wonderful, my dear friend. We, the Giant race, sincerely thank you. As long as there is hope, we do not mind waiting a little longer. After all, we have waited for tens of thousands of years.
Su Luo smiled and nodded. "Very well, I will start by helping you, Giant King, and then we will proceed one by one."
The Giant King: "Sura!"
Thank you so much, friend! From this moment on, you are the best friend of our Giant race, our confidant, sharing our fortunes and misfortunes. We will not let anyone bully you. Whoever dares to offend you will be an enemy of our Giant race!
Wuwuwu…
The Giant King shared the joyous news with all the giants and blew the golden horn.
…
In the palace, Su Luo stood in the Giant King's palm, level with his chest. She concentrated and made a move, activating a hand seal. A wisp of faint light instantly flew out from the Giant King's body, swirling around her fingertips.
This was a Xuanmen technique from the Su family in her previous life, one of the methods to extract abnormal energy from the body.
All things in the world possessed their own energy, some weak, some powerful, hidden within themselves. The Su family's Xuanmen secret techniques could not only extract and strip away this energy but also utilize it as one's own power.
Although Su Luo was proficient in the secret techniques, the sealed energy within the Giant King was too vast. Even for her, extracting it all was an arduous task.
Wisps of faint light emanated. For a full five hours, Su Luo was nearly exhausted before finally succeeding.
In her palm appeared a crystal that flickered intermittently.
