Chapter 1363: The Sealing Technique (First update, requesting all support)

Huonu Wang's expression was exceptionally agitated; he never imagined Li Zhangsheng would be so generous as to hand over two Rule Crystals without the slightest hesitation.

This single act gave Huonu Wang an intuitive sense of Li Zhangsheng's character, causing his loyalty to skyrocket instantly to the point of becoming a die-hard follower.

For many Double-Character Kings, they would be willing to trade a lifetime of accumulation for even one Rule Crystal, let alone two, so it was no wonder Huonu Wang was trending toward becoming a die-hard follower.

With these two Rule Crystals, if luck were on his side, perhaps two Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets could be born.

Huonu Wang himself was a Senior Double-Character King; if he were to gain two more Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, he could leap to become a Top-tier Double-Character King.

Li Zhangsheng saw the look on Huonu Wang's face, but he did not say much and opened the fourth layer of the box.

As soon as the fourth layer was opened, red, yellow, and blue rays of light burst forth from the box; this exceptionally piercing radiance made Li Zhangsheng's eyes feel dazzled.

Once the light subsided, he saw three stones slightly larger than an adult's fist lying quietly in the fourth layer of the box, each stone crystal clear and emitting light of a different color.

These rays of light condensed into shapes: the fiery red stone was a phoenix, the water-blue stone was a five-clawed golden dragon, and the earthy yellow stone was a Wutu Qilin.

Just as the Thunder Qilin is to the Zixiao Qilin, the Wutu Qilin is an evolved version of the Earth Qilin, barely qualifying as a Top-tier Divine Beast, yet it still possessed a certain gap compared to the Zixiao Qilin and the Mo Qilin.

What surprised Li Zhangsheng was that, judging solely from the energy fluctuations they emitted, each of these three stones had reached the Zifu Qizhen level, representing the three attributes of Fire, Water, and Earth respectively.

Among such precious ores, Li Zhangsheng only possessed one unknown Four-Colored Ore that could reach this standard.

Li Zhangsheng racked his brains but could not find any information on these three stones, so he immediately looked at Huonu Wang with an inquiring gaze.

"His Majesty, this is my first time seeing them as well!"

Huonu Wang hurriedly shook his head, then pointed to the fifth layer of the box and said, "If nothing goes wrong, this Double-Character King should have left his inheritance in the fifth layer, and it is very likely to contain information on these three stones."

Li Zhangsheng nodded in agreement and opened the fifth layer of the box.

This time, there were three Inheritance Jade Slips, and Li Zhangsheng picked one up at random to examine it.

This Inheritance Jade Slip recorded a "Golden Chapter Jade Record," specifically the Silver Seal Script Earthly Branch Chapter, which explained the wonders of the Dao of Arrays; once mastered, one could not only quickly become proficient in the methods of setting up arrays but also more easily find the eye of a Forbidden Array.

For Li Zhangsheng, who wanted to crack the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, this was simply a timely rain; once he mastered it, he would have greater confidence in breaking the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array and obtaining the Star Emperor Inheritance.

Li Zhangsheng was in a great mood and began to examine the second Inheritance Jade Slip.

This Inheritance Jade Slip recorded knowledge related to the God-Slaying Sword Array, such as methods for setting up the array, controlling it, countering it, and refining it; this was very likely a technique obtained from Hong Di.

Among them, in the refining methods, Li Zhangsheng found a peculiar Sealing Technique that could seal the entire essence of a Divine Beast into a Hun Kun Stone, which was also the main material for refining the Four Swords of God-Slaying and the Sword Array Diagram.

Among these, the top-tier materials were naturally those from Top-tier Divine Beasts.

This meant that the fourth layer of the box contained three Hun Kun Stones sealed with the full essence of Top-tier Divine Beasts, which was no wonder the energy fluctuations were so intense.

Besides the Top-Grade Hun Kun Stone, there were naturally inferior Hun Kun Stones; the Four Swords of God-Slaying and the Sword Array Diagram that Li Zhangsheng had collected used inferior Hun Kun Stones.

Yet even for inferior Hun Kun Stones, one still required the full essence of an ordinary Divine Beast, and the difficulty of gathering them remained very high.

"Good stuff!"

After only a rough glance, Li Zhangsheng had a flash of inspiration; this Sealing Technique had certain similarities in principle to the "Book of Bloodlines," and perhaps it would be helpful for the further improvement of the "Book of Bloodlines."

Only then did Li Zhangsheng pick up the last Inheritance Jade Slip.

This time, it was finally the turn of the unknown Double-Character King's inheritance.

This Double-Character King was named Qianji Wang, and one could tell he was extraordinary just from his title.

Li Zhangsheng roughly examined Qianji Wang's inheritance, and sure enough, this was a Double-Character King who possessed more than six Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets.

But just as Li Zhangsheng had guessed, Qianji Wang's luck was not just ordinarily bad; he finally waited for an Emperor Rank position to become vacant when his life was nearing its end, only to be defeated in the competition against his rival, eventually dying of old age.

Looking at the title of Qianji Wang's rival, Li Zhangsheng felt a sense of familiarity; wasn't this the title of the Blood Emperor before he became an Emperor?

Judging from the time the Blood Emperor attained the Dao, Qianji Wang had been dead for about three thousand years, not yet in the category of the ancient era.

As a Double-Character King who failed to compete for the Emperor Rank, Qianji Wang's inheritance was quite rich; although most of it overlapped with Li Zhangsheng's knowledge, the remaining small portion was still of great help to him, allowing him to further narrow the gap in foundation between himself and an Emperor.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment, then copied a portion of Qianji Wang's inheritance and handed it to Huonu Wang.

As for the God-Slaying Sword Array and the "Golden Chapter Jade Record Array Chapter," there was no need to think about them; the Sealing Technique in the former was too important, and the latter was merely a secondary copy, impossible to replicate.

However, this was still an extra harvest for Huonu Wang, and he was exceptionally grateful to Li Zhangsheng.

In the time that followed, the two buried Qianji Wang's remains and carefully inspected the Ruins.

Apart from a large pit, there was nothing else.

In this large pit, Li Zhangsheng found a few snake scales from a Huashe; from Qianji Wang's memories, this Wei Huangji Huashe was not his Demon Pet; Qianji Wang had once passed through a place and saw this Huashe causing floods and wanton destruction, so in order to stop the Huashe, the two sides fought.

At that time, Qianji Wang's strength had not yet reached its peak, and he was actually slightly inferior to the Huashe, so in the end, Qianji Wang used the God-Slaying Forbidden Array to severely injure the Huashe and finally sealed it in this semi-plane.

The reason he did not kill the Huashe was mainly because the God-Slaying Sword Array lacked durability and was nearing its limit.

Additionally, Qianji Wang was very wary of the Huashe's desperate counterattack.

By the time he failed to compete for the Emperor Rank, Qianji Wang was already severely injured; he came to this semi-plane to leave his inheritance, but felt powerless to deal with this Huashe.

Thus, two or three thousand years later, the seal aged, and coupled with the lack of energy, the Huashe finally broke through the seal, opened the Teleportation Array, and escaped.

As for why the Huashe did not destroy the palace, it likely had to do with the God-Slaying Sword Array, a case of "once bitten, twice shy."

After confirming there were no omissions, the two left the Ruins; as a wandering Double-Character King without territory, Huonu Wang did not need to pack anything and returned to the Southeast Region directly with Li Zhangsheng.
