Chapter 322 322 Seal Two
The restaurant was built directly on the clouds and mist, with no floating islands, soil, or rocks below.
They could not sense any fluctuations or energy from the formation's operation.
It's as if this restaurant is made of a light, floating material like clouds and mist, able to float steadily without any buoyancy.
Lin Hui narrowed his eyes, confirming the information Xie Chang'an had given him; it was indeed this place.
It's still more than two days until the next contact, so I'll have to figure it out on my own.
He carefully examined the Tianyunju Restaurant.
The restaurant's exterior walls are dark red with mottled, faded patches, and from a distance, it looks like a slightly crooked little box.
The building has three floors, and each of the second and third floors has four windows. Half of them are open, and half are closed.
Looking through the open window, the room was quiet and empty.
Lin Hui did not approach any further, but instead sat cross-legged in mid-air, quietly recovering his depleted mental energy.
After several minutes, once his mind and spirit had fully recovered, he slowly approached the Tianyun Residence.
He approached very slowly.
This place is a troublesome place where even Xie Chang'an was trapped and blocked, so naturally we have to be extra careful.
After getting within fifty meters again.
He stopped again.
Can you understand me?
He transmitted his voice.
The restaurant was completely silent. Only the wind was howling around.
"Give me a sound if you understand," Lin Hui continued.
Tianyun Residence remained completely silent.
"You don't understand, right?" Lin Hui nodded slightly. Without further hesitation, he raised his hand and struck forward with a palm.
boom!!!
Above the restaurant, a huge, semi-transparent hand slammed down, grabbing at the entire restaurant building.
The initiation symbol of the Father's seal was quickly outlined.
A massive amount of invisible Eternal Life Sect Master Source Power was drawn out from an unknown rift and spread outwards towards the area surrounding the restaurant.
"It really is alive!" Lin Hui's eyes revealed his understanding; this was his test.
The Father's Seal can only be used on living, moving creatures; this characteristic allows him to use his breath to test whether the other party is alive or dead.
Secondly, the Heavenly Father's Seal can only seal those who are hostile to it. If Tianyunju is not hostile, it will naturally not be sealed.
Furthermore, even if Tianyun Residence is sealed, Xie Chang'an might not be hostile towards him, so he naturally wouldn't be included in the scope of the seal.
If Tianyunju has trapped Brother Xie, then this will easily rescue him.
So no matter what, let's just throw a slap and see if we can seal it off first. That's the right way.
Thinking about this, Lin Hui suddenly had a vague understanding of the profound meaning contained in the so-called name of the Heavenly Father by the Eternal Life Sect Master.
Isn't this approach of slapping someone when they encounter a problem a common tactic used by many strict fathers?
When you encounter a problem, try slapping your child first. If the child is wrong, it's just the right punishment. If the child is not wrong, the harm is almost negligible; it's just letting the child get used to future beatings.
Anyway, the father is never wrong. Only children who hate their fathers will be severely beaten; those who don't will be treated like a gentle breeze.
The saying goes, "Hate hurts, no hate hurts."
For the Lord of the Eternal Life Sect, the Heavenly Father Seal was less of an offensive tactic and more of a specially created means of discipline and discernment.
After thinking it through, Lin Hui shook his head inwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of this stranger he had never met.
At this moment, Tianyun Residence, not far away, was rapidly being sealed by crystals from the outside in.
A large number of translucent crystals held it firmly in place.
Several seconds later, the entire crystal column was finally sealed.
call.
The enormous crystal pillar did not fall; it remained suspended above the clouds, completely still.
But at this moment, Lin Hui faintly heard a series of puffing sounds, like farting.
He looked down at the Tianyun Residence.
There was an unseen hole in the air, constantly spewing out disheveled figures.
These figures were all covered in thick mucus. Some were already lifeless, while others were still alive. They rolled around a few times, regained their footing in the air, and then turned and ran.
Lin Hui ignored it and waited for a while. Finally, a familiar, burly figure flew out from the invisible hole.
He had disheveled hair, a tall stature, wore tattered, smoking gray-white armor, and sported a large beard.
It was Xie Chang'an, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
"I knew it! Ah Hui, you're the most reliable one!!" Xie Chang'an laughed loudly as he flew over.
"But to be honest, even if you hadn't come, I would have been able to dig my way out in just a day or two!" He flew closer and stopped, his body covered in sticky fluid, ready to give Lin Hui a big hug.
But the latter dodged it.
"What the heck is this Tianyunju?" Lin Hui asked, enduring the sour smell emanating from the other person. "Still so shy." Xie Chang'an didn't seem to mind and stopped what he was doing. "I don't know either. Anyway, we found this strange restaurant on the way. You know I like this kind of food, so we thought we'd go in and try it out when we got tired of flying."
"No, a restaurant just appeared out of nowhere, and you dared to go in and drink without knowing anything about it?" Lin Hui was speechless.
"Isn't this how the world always is? When I went into the Night Fog before, strange places would often suddenly appear. In some of them, we had food and drink and were very happy. There are quite a few of these strange places. I guess I was just too careless," Xie Chang'an sighed.
"And then?" Lin Hui was also speechless. After spending time with him, he knew that Xie Chang'an was just like that.
He had also heard from Zhang Yao that Xie's abilities and strength made him extremely difficult to seriously injure or kill. Even among the Mist People, he was one of the most difficult to deal with.
That's why they've been able to sit firmly on the dark cloud and suppress the federal borders for so many years.
"Then I had a good drink and got drunk. When I woke up, I was trapped," Xie Chang'an replied, stroking his stubble.
Are you injured?
"My recovery speed is unparalleled; it makes no difference whether I'm injured or not," Xie Chang'an said, patting his chest.
"I'm very touched that you came to save me. Don't worry, we'll become sworn brothers when we get back. From now on, you'll be my fourth brother!" He put his arm around Lin Hui's shoulder and said warmly.
"I"
"Fourth brother, it's alright, don't worry. From now on, your business is my business. Don't be shy."
"."
Smelling the strong, sour stench permeating the surroundings, Lin Hui had an urge to slap the other party and seal them away.
"I suspect that Tianyunju is also a ruin. There are quite a few ruins in the sky, and some very precious treasures were once unearthed from these ruins. After we finish our miscellaneous tasks, we can go and look for Tianyunju again. Maybe we can find some good stuff inside." Xie Chang'an was already planning ahead.
He looked back at Tianyun Residence, which was sealed by the crystal, and sighed. He even asked Lin Hui what kind of method this was, and planned to stop and study it.
Lin Hui was too lazy to explain to him and urged him to go back.
Left with no other choice, Xie Chang'an followed him away with some regret, and noted down the location of the place.
The two retraced their steps, and on this return journey, they encountered a large number of monstrous contaminants again.
This time, Lin Hui didn't make a move, but Xie Chang'an took the initiative to attack, wanting to prove that he was not weak and that being trapped was just an accidental mistake.
His fighting style is very unique; no matter what kind of monster he encounters, he always swings his palm out.
The palm strike condensed into a huge green blade of light, directly slicing through everything in its path.
After making five or six consecutive moves, Xie Chang'an turned around and saw Lin Hui's calm expression, and felt a little embarrassed.
So he took the initiative to explain.
"Fourth brother, you probably don't know what my true evil power is, do you?"
"What? Isn't it nourishing?" Lin Hui asked.
"That's an incidental fel ability. I actually have two true fel abilities. One is Nourishment, and the other is actually my nickname, Infinite Blade." Xie Chang'an decided to reveal everything to his fourth brother so that he wouldn't be looked down upon as the eldest brother and lose face.
"What do you mean?" Lin Hui asked casually as he flew forward.
"Simply put, it's nine cuts," Xie Chang'an said with a hint of pride.
"Nine cuts?"
"Yes, that's right. Once I use my evil energy, starting with the first strike, if the enemy isn't killed in one strike, then the speed and power of the second strike will double. Then the third strike will quadruple based on the second strike. The fourth strike will be sixteen times, and so on, until the ninth strike."
Lin Hui paused, then narrowed his eyes.
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated? If you calculate it this way, the second cut is twice the amount, the third cut is four times, the fourth cut is sixteen times, and the fifth cut is a whopping 256 times. How is that possible?"
The difference is two hundred times! This ability is too extraordinary. What kind of evil energy can support such an exaggerated slash?
Not to mention the subsequent six, seven, eight, and nine cuts.
If it's really that exaggerated, how come Xie Chang'an was trapped in Tianyunju for so long before?
"You wouldn't know this," Xie Chang'an said, his mood improving as he saw Lin Hui's shock. He added with a hint of smugness, "Just as you said, unleashing the fifth strike basically drains me of everything just to barely muster a sliver of sword energy. Theoretically, I can unleash the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth strikes, but my manpower isn't sufficient to sustain that level of consumption. So, this is actually my trump card, my last resort. But it's precisely because of this trump card that no one in the entire Federation dares to act arrogantly in front of me."
Seeing that Lin Hui remained calm, he quickly added another sentence.
"Because I recover extremely quickly, even if I use the fifth knife once, I can recover completely after a few days of rest."
"As for being trapped for so long, I was worried that after I used the fifth strike, I would be weakened and someone would take advantage of my vulnerability. I used the fourth strike several times before, but I still couldn't break through that damned place," Xie Chang'an explained.
“Since the fifth cut can completely drain you, what difference does it make whether the subsequent cuts are made or not?” Lin Hui said.
"Then you don't know the truth." Xie Chang'an immediately became smug again. "That's because I can't use it alone, but when combined with the evil energy of my second brother and third sister, I can unleash six or seven strikes. The evil energy of the three of us complements each other, which can greatly reduce the cost. If combined with the Black Cloud Formation, I can even desperately unleash an eighth strike. As for the final ninth strike, I have a feeling that it will be a fatal strike, and unleashing it will require the sacrifice of everything the three of us have—our lives and our souls, everything."
Lin Hui was speechless.
To be honest, he was somewhat skeptical. But seeing Xie Chang'an's confident expression, he began to believe it.
"By the way, why don't you go find an Evil Weapon Insect Codex, get some evil energy, and work with us? That way, the four of us siblings can sweep across the world, we'll be invincible! Right now, many of the Fog People have died or been injured, and many of the Evil Weapon Insect Codexes have lost their power and are choosing new masters." Xie Chang'an suggested.
The speaker may not have meant anything by it, but the listener took it to heart.
Lin Hui's eyes suddenly lit up.
If even the power of relics can't solve decay, then what about fel energy?
If a suitable fel energy is found, it can then be evolved using a blood seal.
However, the fact that evil energy can lock down cultivation and growth is a major problem. Look at Xie Chang'an and the others; after thousands of years, their strength has remained largely unchanged. This shows that their potential is extremely low.
However, it's worth a try. After finding it, evolve it with a blood seal, and eventually enslave and control the evil weapon insect codex.
