Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character Chapter 176: The Art of Spirit Sealing
"A Celestial Talisman Tree?" Upon hearing the ntion of this treasure from Mo Tie, both Lin Langtian and Lin Dong had a spark of excitent in their eyes.
The Celestial Talisman Tree was a unique heavenly treasure, highly coveted by those who trained in spiritual arts. For high-level talisman masters, it was like a godsend. According to legends, refining this tree could propel one to the status of a Heavenly Talisman Master—an accomplishnt equivalent to reaching the Nirvana Realm in cultivation.
Now, Lin Langtian was already halfway to becoming a Heavenly Talisman Master. If he could obtain the Celestial Talisman Tree, he was almost certain he could reach that coveted level.
Mo Tie continued, "Although the Thunder Rock Valley houses countless treasures, it's perilous. Not only is it guarded by powerful beasts, but it's also full of dangerous seals. If you accidentally trigger one, you may never escape. A half-step Nirvana Realm expert once made it in but returned fatally poisoned and died soon after."
Lin Langtian didn't appear surprised. The Ancient Battlefield was no place for the faint-hearted. It held many treasures, but if one lacked strength, it was better to hide sowhere safe.
"Brother Mo Tie, are there any high-level dynasties stationed in Sun City?" Mo Ling asked. Since Lin Langtian had appointed him as the Fla Alliance's intelligence officer, he had beco highly alert to these matters.
"No high-level dynasties have arrived in Sun City, but that doesn't an they won't join the fray for the Ancient Key. There may already be high-level dynasties hiding in the mountains, waiting for the perfect ti to act," Mo Tie replied with a shake of his head.
Lin Langtian nodded thoughtfully. He knew that several high-level dynasties did indeed exist within this northwestern region. Nevertheless, even they would have a hard ti posing a threat to him.
Over the next few hours, Lin Langtian gathered additional intelligence from Mo Tie, who was more than willing to share. They talked extensively, and soon it was ti for Lin Langtian and the others to take their leave.
"Lin Langtian, in five days, many of us from Sun City will head toward Thunder Rock Valley. We can go together for support along the way," Mo Tie offered with a laugh.
"That sounds good. Until then." Lin Langtian nodded, and with a wave, he led the mbers of the Fla Alliance back toward their residence.
As they traveled back through the city, Lin Dong looked over his shoulder and then turned to Lin Langtian. "Brother Langtian, are you considering joining forces with the Sky Iron Dynasty?"
"It's not exactly a partnership. We'll cooperate when it benefits us both, but don't worry. The Fla Alliance won't be used as anyone's tool," Lin Langtian replied with a smirk.
Reassured by his confidence, Lin Dong and the others nodded. Under Lin Langtian's leadership, the Fla Alliance was no weaker than a high-level dynasty. Given that they had recently eliminated the Sacred Light Dynasty, the Fla Alliance's reputation would soon spread across the northwest region, warning away any potential troublemakers.
As night settled over Sun City, its streets remained lively, ablaze with torchlight for miles around. Even wild beasts would not dare to invade this bustling hub, knowing the power gathered here.
The Fla Alliance took up residence in a central part of the city. Once everyone regrouped, Lin Langtian's group shared details of the encounter with the Sacred Light Dynasty. Upon hearing that Lin Langtian had killed Jin Mu in a single strike, the alliance mbers looked on in awe, casting him admiring, almost worshipful glances.
Lin Langtian rely shook his head at the looks they gave him. After giving a few instructions to Lin Dong and Mo Ling, he withdrew to his stone chamber.
Inside the stone room, a soft, warm glow flickered, casting shifting shadows across the walls.
"Aunt Ling, you said you had sothing for ?" Lin Langtian had hurried back because of Aunt Ling's cryptic ssage.
"It's sothing good, of course," Aunt Ling replied, her voice warm. With a slight smile, she opened her mouth, and from it erged a wisp of dark Nine Nether Fla, which gradually coalesced into a black bone slip. Strange runes squird faintly on its surface.
Taking the black bone slip, Lin Langtian felt a surge of excitent. He glanced at the runes, which gradually ford into legible words: The Art of Spirit Sealing.
"Spirit Sealing Technique?" he murmured, intrigued.
"This technique is a rare treasure I acquired long ago, a mysterious skill rather than a martial art. Yet, it can yield extraordinary effects at the right monts."
Aunt Ling looked thoughtful as she continued, "Years ago, I t a peculiar man on a distant continent. His talent wasn't inferior to others, and he practiced day and night. However, even though he trained relentlessly, his strength never advanced. He seed frozen in place, his power unchanged for years.
"People thought him mad—until the day he t a powerful adversary. In an instant, his strength soared to the continent's highest level." Aunt Ling's gaze grew distant with the mory.
"Did he use this Spirit Sealing Technique?" Lin Langtian asked in surprise.
"Yes. This art was created by an ancient master, using the principle of slow accumulation and sudden release. It's sowhat similar to sword-forging techniques, where you nurture your power like a sword over years. This art establishes a spiritual 'reservoir' within your body, storing strength over ti until it's released all at once."
Aunt Ling gave a knowing smile. "I can tell you're ready to break into the Nirvana Realm, but lacking enough Nirvana Pills has forced you to hold off. This Spirit Sealing Technique, though incomplete, is perfect for your current situation. If you create a reservoir now, you can keep nurturing your strength. When you finally have enough Nirvana Pills, you can use that stored power to break through multiple levels without harming your foundation."
Lin Langtian's eyes lit up with renewed interest. Aunt Ling had indeed pinpointed his main issue—insufficient Nirvana Pills to fully advance. Lin Langtian was certainly ready to break into the Nirvana Realm but had learned that the Lin Dong of his past tiline required over two million Nirvana Pills to achieve the sa feat.
Spending tens of thousands of Nirvana Pills on an initial breakthrough seed far from ideal. The Spirit Sealing Technique could help him overco this constraint, allowing him to amass energy while he waited. Once he acquired the resources from the Ancient Key, he could surge forward all at once.
Delighted by the prospect, Lin Langtian took the black bone slip and closed his eyes. Hours passed as he absorbed the technique's intricacies, and finally, he muttered with satisfaction, "No wonder it's a skill from the Great Thousand World. Remarkable…"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Langtian shut his eyes again and began to cultivate, muttering softly to himself, "I carry within the breath of Nirvana, nurturing sun, moon, and stars…"
