Chapter 44: True Name Furnace, Jin Bones as a Curse (Revised Version)

##**Chapter 43: True Name Furnace, Jin Bones as a Curse** (Complete Revised Version)

###**I. Name Sword Devours Master, Forest of Nameless Steles**

The sound of sword humming from the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain pierced the firmament at midnight. Three thousand spirit swords engraved with the two characters 'Lin Jin' broke through the soil, scarlet blood patterns emerging on their sword spines. The 'Heaven-Incinerating Ember', the life-bound sword of the Xuantian Sect Sword Pavilion Elder, suddenly inverted; its sword tassel transformed into a star sand chain that coiled around its master's neck, and a relief depicting the First Coffin Keeper's bone-gouging scene appeared on the sword body.

"Name... Name Vessel backlash..." The elder's seven orifices gushed star sand, his body sucked into an empty shell. The sword swarm carried the dried corpse into the clouds, spelling out cold ancient seal script that blotted out the sky:

**"Name shackle, soul lock, the word prison is inescapable."**

The Primordial Desolation earth trembled as three hundred nameless steles rose. When a female cultivator of the Qingxia Sect touched the stele surface, her true name suddenly burned onto her palm, and her essence and blood were drawn into silk threads and embroidered into the stele. The giant red blood stele in the center of the stele forest was engraved with "Lin Jin," and the ten thousand star sand chains extending from the base of the stele were dragging the First Generation divine soul into the stele inscription!

###**II. Phoenix Memory Awakens, Name Tribulation Guide**

Ao Li's residual soul heard the clanking of chains in the star sand pillar. The pillar surface reflected memory fragments—the First Generation had inserted his fingertips into her Nirvana fire seed before he fell, carving the true name "Lin Prison."

"Eight hundred thousand years, time to wake up." The star sand pillar suddenly displayed the First Generation's face. Ao Li's spirit felt sharp pain, and her tampered memories surged back:

During her seventh Nirvana, she guided the reincarnated body "Lin Seven" to form a contract with the Witch Clan Saintess; after her eleventh rebirth, she personally planted the First Generation true name fragment into Lin Jin's soul; in the final Nirvana fire, she watched the First Generation carve the brand of "Name Tribulation Guide" into her phoenix bones!

"I am the culprit..." Ao Li tore her soul apart and pulled out the burning "Lin Prison" fire seed. The fire seed was strangled by the umbilical cord of the Star River embryo on its way to the blood stele: "Senior Sister, your part isn't finished yet."

###**III. Melting Names to Forge Vessels, True Body Recast**

The young Star River stepped on the star sand mandala, his umbilical cord wrapping around the blood stele and pulling with all his might. The characters "Lin Jin" on the stele melted into molten iron, casting a giant furnace that spanned the heavens and earth. The furnace walls displayed the miserable death scenes of all "Lin Jins" over the past eight hundred thousand years, the wailing sounds condensing into materialized black fog of curses.

"You think you're breaking the game?" The Star River embryo split open, revealing half of the First Generation's divine body, "Every 'Lin Jin' is helping my master recast his Dao body!"

All those with the same name in the Primordial Desolation flew uncontrollably toward the furnace mouth. When Lin Jin's spirit was torn out of his body, he saw the terrifying truth inside the furnace—every bone of the First Generation divine body was cast from the true name "Lin Jin," and the heart was beating with the destiny of ten thousand people with the same name!

###**IV. Tracing Names in the Stele Sea, Blade Against Delusion**

Lin Jin burned his Burial Fire to stabilize his spirit, and his third eye split open on his forehead. The Heavenly Eye saw the truth beneath the nameless stele forest: seven thousand ice coffins engraved with "Lin Prison" were arranged in a Big Dipper formation, the corpses inside all having their brow bones gouged out.

"Name... Name Vessel Grave..." He dug through nine layers of earth with his bare hands, in the deepest part finding a jade slip engraved with "Name at Ease." The blood-colored small sword inside the slip suddenly rose and pierced through his three souls and seven spirits!

The First Generation divine body suddenly screamed, and the memory crystal ball in his left eye exploded—the scene that appeared was the young Xiaoyaozi kneeling before the First Generation, begging his master to take back the true name "Lin Prison"!

###**V. Jin Name Asks the Dao, Nameless Heavenly Revelation**

The furnace exploded, and the First Generation divine body crawled out halfway before freezing like a statue. All ten thousand nameless steles flew into the air, forming a ring, the stele surfaces displaying the true names of all living beings in the Primordial Desolation. Lin Jin ascended to the sky on the torrent of the name register, each name extending a star sand chain to bind the First Generation.

"Lin Prison!" he called out the First Generation's true name for the first time, "Do you know what is buried in the deepest part of this nameless stele forest?"

The First Generation divine body suddenly self-destructed, and star sand name-slips poured down like a rainstorm. The steles hit by the slips trembled violently, and golden ancient seal script slowly appeared on the stele surfaces:

**"Name is not a shackle, the heart is the prison. The day you cut through delusions to see the truth, you will see the true Heavenly Gang."**

###**Finale: Nameless Fire**

The Star River embryo shattered completely, and the First Generation's life-bound essence and blood gushed from the youth's body. He laughed maniacally, pointing to the collapsing Primordial Desolation: cultivators were scratching at their skin where their true names appeared, some gouging out flesh and bone just to get rid of the "freedom" they had suddenly awakened to.

Lin Jin's third eye shed tears of blood, the tears generating white flames upon hitting the ground. Where the flames licked, all names of "Lin Jin" were rewritten as ■■ symbols. Ao Li's residual soul carved the final stele inscription before dissipating:

**"If emotion is not a tribulation, why fear the Name Tribulation?"**

The blood sea suddenly boiled, and ten thousand Xiaoyaozi corpses crawled out of the Return to Ruins, each corpse having ■■ symbols jumping in the center of its brow. The First Generation essence and blood condensed into new name-slips in Star River's palm:

**"The name that can be named is not the eternal name. Tribulation after tribulation, Jin gives birth to Jin."** ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
