Chapter 1038: Chapter 65: White Bone Soul Nails, Unsealing the Law Code on the Ascending Dragon Platform!
Zhao Xing also began to recite:
"White Bone Soul Nails shift the Life Star, to resolve the soul first restore the main nail."
"If starlight locks the three soul lines, a cold glint flashes, breaking through Jingming."
"The nail planting begins from the feet, the death line often snaps between the ribs and shoulder."
"Zhaoyang enters Beidou, chaos in heaven and earth, once the eyes close, enter the Netherworld."
After he finished, musician Xiao Huang, magician Jiang Chuan, Ye Yuxong immediately looked bewildered, and Tong Jin and Ji Mengjun were also somewhat confused.
King Shenluo fell into contemplation.
But he didn’t think for long before Zhao Xing continued: "The secret manual has annotations, roughly meaning that the White Bone Soul Nails have already moved a person’s Life Star, to remove soul control, first find the main nail position."
"If even the three souls are locked, there will be a cold glow flashing at the Jingming acupoint where the physical body and life soul reside, this is the most profound soul-locking forbidden technique of the White Bone Soul Nails, not the Water and Fire Soul Nails."
"The soul nails generally start from the feet, the soul lines produced by starlight, with the death line usually clasps on one side from shoulder to rib."
"If the light from the Zhaoyang position all heads towards Beidou, resolving it like this is completely hopeless, equates to sending a person directly to the Netherworld (the sect’s term for Yin Realm)."
King Shenluo asked: "Are the soul lines those red and blue lines? What is the death line?"
Zhao Xing shrugged and said: "Probably, I don’t know about the death line, it doesn’t say above."
Actually, it’s not unsaid, but to let King Shenluo find the pattern of water and fire primordial energies attached to the soul lines himself.
If Zhao Xing fully understood, it wouldn’t be normal, he had to let Lao Luo comprehend it himself.
"Foot soul nails respond to water, upper prime position three stars, shift sixteen stars to heavy light."
"Divine illumination kidney water, supports left upper rib and rushes right lower leg bone, water action Zhaoyang breaks like hair, it is to restore its seven nail positions."
"If not the seven nail positions, the entry and exit positions need to be corrected swiftly, otherwise..."
"Ah!!" Before Zhao Xing finished speaking, Gu Shisan’s life soul and physical body both screamed in pain.
King Shenluo was a bit embarrassed, and Zhao Xing expressionlessly finished reciting: "Otherwise, the pain will be unbearable."
"Ahem, it was the first attempt, let me try again."
"No problem."
The so-called sharpening of the knife doesn’t delay chopping firewood, if they can force out secret information, their entry into the Ascending Dragon Platform will be much smoother.
Without intelligence and charging blindly, the team of seven with only two First-Grade would not be enough to break in.
...
Gu Shisan was indeed unlucky.
King Shenluo was indeed a Mechanical Master, but his expertise wasn’t quite aligned, such sect top-level skill paired with a top-level magic artifact, he struggled to learn.
Mr. Zhao also memorized rigidly, still had to pretend not to understand some details, letting King Shenluo try himself.
Thus, Gu Shisan’s cries of pain never really stopped.
If Zhao Xing was truly guessing, then he would be in quick death, but Zhao Xing truly understood the correct solution.
If King Shenluo made a major mistake, then he would be in quick death, but King Shenluo didn’t, only made constant minor errors.
Assuming the team didn’t have Ji Mengjun, a First-Grade Soul Dancer, he would be in quick death, but Ji Mengjun could help stabilize his life soul.
Facing such a team, isn’t he just terribly unlucky?
"Kill, kill me, I beg you all..."
"Give me a quick death, ah—"
"..."
Crying out like that, Ye Yuxong was getting a bit impatient.
"Why are you yelling like that, sounds like a pig being slaughtered, it’s unbearable."
"Haven’t you at least cultivated to Third-rank, don’t you have any strong willpower?"
Gu Shisan: "..."
Are you speaking human language? It’s come to this, and you’re still complaining I’m not tough enough?!
Xiao Huang appeared with a bamboo flute: "I can play the Requiem, perhaps it could calm him down, and thus he can endure longer, allowing King Shenluo more time to release."
Gu Shisan completely broke down.
...
Two hours later, Gu Shisan was finally freed.
The nails within his life soul, thanks to Zhao Xing, King Shenluo, Ji Mengjun, and Xiao Huang’s concerted effort, truly were extracted.
After extracting all intelligence, Zhao Xing gave him a quick end.
As he advised Long Xiao, he wouldn’t torture enemies for the sake of torture, once he got what he wanted, he naturally gave the enemy a quick end, maintaining the right mindset.
Speaking of mindset, besides Gu Shisan, everyone else present was relatively happy.
King Shenluo learned a skill, after knowing the intelligence, the ensuing battle would be much easier for everyone.
"We shall enter the Ascending Dragon Platform from the White Bone Sect’s south side."
"I will need about an hour of undisturbed time to complete the unsealing of the Divine Artifact."
In the December of the third year of Da Zhi, with the location of Dragon King Yin Xiu revealed, along with the reason for this operation.
The rest of the team learned that Zhao Xing’s purpose of this trip was to unseal the Dragon Clan’s Divine Artifact.
Future official records, Ji Si would also write the task objective this way, and wouldn’t foolishly say Zhao Xing acted recklessly to rescue Long Xiao.
"The Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate and Red Bone Venerable Sage of White Bone Sect are First-Grade, without Divine Artifacts on them, but they do have Second Grade and Third-rank aplenty."
"Is an hour the minimum time limit?" Tong Jin asked.
"It could be faster, but I can’t be sure." Zhao Xing said, "However, if it’s still not done in two hours, then it proves there is a problem, everyone can retreat."
Zhao Xing needed to find the corresponding Ascending Dragon Platform to unlock the pages of the Dragon Emperor’s Law Code in his possession.
"Understood." Tong Jin nodded.
"No problem." Ji Mengjun nodded, "Though I possess no treasures, everything I use is Ninth Rank Supreme."
Tong Jin was from the Qi Sect, he needed no weapons or armor.
Zhao Xing thought for a moment, pushed a box to Ye Yuxong, and pointed to a large door on the Dragon Ship for King Shenluo: "Stand by the ship for alert, best not to engage in battle, if many powerful adversaries. Bright Moon Pavilion Master can open this box, King Shenluo can open this door."
