The Cave of White Bones

"Holy crap..."

Even though Bai Sheng had prepared himself mentally,

Faced with such a sudden turn of events, one couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Those eyes were staring straight at the ceiling.

The pupils were completely dilated.

Bai Sheng vaguely saw in those eyes,

Deep within the pupil,

There was a lingering emotion, as if being pulled outwards by the purple light.

Immense fear!

"So he was scared too!"

Bai Sheng calmed himself down slightly.

With a sudden realization, I understood.

After all, this magical artifact was meant to refine his soul; it would be strange if he wasn't afraid.

He's the one who's at the mercy of the chopping block.

Bai Sheng suppressed his physical discomfort.

What are you afraid of? He's the one with the knife.

This time, Bai Sheng stopped testing the waters and went all out.

The snake's eyes flashed with purple light.

The entire farewell hall has four white walls.

It was coated with a layer of cold, purplish-blue light.

Two beams of eerie purple light shot out from the snake's eyes.

They precisely nailed the needles into the deceased's eyes.

"Huh?"

Bai Sheng suddenly felt his consciousness being pulled outward.

It was as if consciousness had been detached.

The surrounding farewell hall, the offering table, the white cloth, the fluorescent lights...

These images seem to have been pushed into the distance.

His consciousness was drawn into another dimension by the Soul-Capturing Technique.

My five senses are still inside my body, but what I see before me is not entirely the walls of the farewell hall.

The two images are superimposed.

Like two superimposed negatives,

One is the real world.

Another one, in some extremely deep and dark place.

A narrow cave passageway,

The surrounding cave walls were covered with countless white bones.

Built into walls by some force,

Bai Sheng suddenly heard a strange sound.

A series of loud screams echoed from deep within the passageway.

Sharp and piercing,

A blurry black shadow frantically darted between the bone walls.

Running and shouting,

Bouncing back and forth between the bone walls

Bai Sheng looked up and saw that he now held a scepter made of white bones.

The staff is made up of several sections of bone tubes of different thicknesses joined together.

He didn't have time to think about what the scepter was all about.

But we can probably guess what it is.

This dark figure that keeps running around...

It must be the soul of that gambling addict.

Quickly raise the scepter and tap it in the air.

A beam of purple light shot out from the tip of the staff.

It grazed the edge of that dark shadow.

It hit the bone wall and sent up a shower of bone fragments.

The dark figure screamed and swerved to the left.

It's a little slower, but it's still running.

Bai Sheng then pointed a second time.

This time,

A purple light pierced through the very center of the shadowy figure, tearing a hole in its misty outline.

The screams grew even more agonizing.

The dark figure plummeted downwards.

Bai Sheng quickly chased after him, striking out with his bone staff for the third time.

boom!

The purple light hit again.

The shadowy figure finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The entire cloud of black mist exploded in mid-air, then rapidly collapsed back towards its center.

They coalesced into a fist-sized, dark purple sphere of light.

It hovers and rotates in mid-air.

"What's this? I think this kind of thing has happened in some cartoon before..."

He instinctively stretched the bone staff forward.

The tip of the staff touches the surface of the light sphere.

hum!

The sphere of light trembled violently.

Then it was pulled in along the shaft of the staff.

Something seems to have changed inside the staff.

This causes the grip to heat up quickly.

at the same time,

The passageway, the bone walls...

All the images shattered in that instant.

Like a mirror shattered from the inside.

The fragments tumbled and fell into the darkness.

Bai Sheng came to his senses.

The farewell hall was bathed in the stark white light of fluorescent lights hanging overhead.

A piece of incense ash on the offering table broke off.

The gambling addict's body still lay quietly on the bed.

It was as if nothing had happened.

He looked at the Soul-Capturing Spell in his hand.

The snake's body was still writhing.

The purple light remained steadily deep within the snake's eye.

The brightness seems to be much higher than before.

The instant it came into contact with the surface of the snake scales,

A completely new message has emerged.

The second layer of restrictions has been activated!

Bai Sheng dared not think too much; this place was not safe to stay any longer.

He slipped out of the farewell hall.

After leaving the crematorium,

We turned into a secluded grove.

Bai Sheng closed his eyes and retrieved the information from earlier.

The ability to unlock the second layer of restrictions is to transform.

With a thought, the snake-shaped necklace in his palm suddenly came undone.

The entire snake skeleton silently disintegrated into dozens of extremely thin bone fragments.

There are no visible connections between the bone fragments.

But the distance they maintained between each other was just right.

Waiting for instructions.

Bai Sheng imagined it in his mind.

I tried to sketch the shape of a long sword.

The bone fragments responded and reassembled in mid-air.

Hilt, guard, blade...

The bone fragments rapidly shift and fuse automatically.

A longsword took shape!

Bai Sheng reached out and beckoned.

A long sword flew in.

It is about three feet long, with a narrow and long blade.

"So cool!"

Bai Sheng wielded the long sword with impressive skill, praising it highly.

I tried to change the shape in my mind.

The bone sword twirled in the air before reforming into a short spear.

I tried the third form, and a pistol materialized in my hand.

"Not bad, it's just a pity I don't understand the internal structure of the gun, so I can't fire the bullet."

Bai Sheng's thoughts stirred again, and the necklace reformed into its serpentine form.

As the number of restrictions increases, the supernatural powers will continue to increase.

But that's not what he cares about most right now.

What Bai Sheng cares about most is

The Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Technique is not powered by true qi!

This message was transmitted from the first layer of restrictions.

It was just too blurry at the time, so he mistook it for background noise.

Now that the second layer of restrictions is open

The corresponding explanations automatically become clear and complete.

The essence of the Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Spell

It is a corpse-path magical artifact forged from the bones of a dead serpent.

Its fuel was never innate true energy from the beginning.

It is the aura of a corpse.

For example, those few wisps of corpse energy I absorbed at the funeral home before.

To continue breaking the seals and unleashing the transformation for combat,

They all need a continuous replenishment of corpse energy.

If one cultivates innate true qi in the future, one can use true qi to assist in guiding it.

But what truly drives the magic artifact is still the corpse energy.

Therefore,

Even before Bai Sheng's innate true energy had been condensed, he was already able to cross the threshold of magic weapon grade.

To control a corpse-path artifact with nine layers of restrictions,

This is because this magical artifact doesn't consider one's true qi cultivation level at all.

Another key point is that...

The Nine Nether Soul-Capturing Charm has already recognized its master.

Allowing Bai Sheng to enter the ritual implement is the ceremony of recognizing him as the master.

Having already acknowledged the Lord,

They then followed the will of the Lord.

Naturally, it is limited by the strength of the master's true energy and the level of their cultivation.

Bai Sheng thought to himself:

"It looks like a magical artifact from an unorthodox sect."

After all, the chain originated from that Black international student.

Its origin is probably in Africa.

Bai Sheng naturally also desired to wield a divine weapon, a supreme treasure, and roam the world freely.

But that's the situation; there's nothing we can do.

Even from a certain perspective.

For Bai Sheng, who has not yet condensed his innate true qi...

This kind of magical artifact that relies on corpse energy is actually more suitable for him.

otherwise,

Even if there really was a top-quality flying sword placed in front of him,

He himself has no true qi, so how can he control it?

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!
