Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Chapter 390 Seal

"The bones are really tough!" Liu Xing also admired the King Kong Ape's spirit of refusing to surrender even in death.

"Hmph, I'll lock you up for a few days." Liu Xing felt that killing the demon directly to obtain the elixir would be a waste of such a talented person. So he sealed its spiritual power and imprisoned it on the ninth floor of the Chaos Tower. Although he couldn't open the palace inside, he had cracked the entrance barriers on each floor and was able to open them successfully.

Due to the battle between the two, the sea had collapsed. Liu Xing dealt with it briefly and quickly left. He rushed hundreds of miles into the depths of the sea before choosing a quiet island to settle down. He punched out a simple cave, set up some defensive measures, and then went inside.

Inside the Chaos Tower, Mao Huzi remained unconscious, apparently suffering a serious injury. Liu Xing sat cross-legged nearby, silently reciting the "Illusionary Sound Sutra."

Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, his Illusion Sound Sutra secret technique has made significant progress. His previous abilities of using invisible sound to confuse the mind and transforming sound waves into physical attacks have both been significantly enhanced. Now, he's discovered that this secret technique has a new function, and he wants to test it out.

As the technique deepened, the outline of a blue-gray talisman slowly emerged in his sea of ​​consciousness. Liu Xing diligently controlled his magical power, using his powerful spiritual power to carefully polish the talisman, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It had been a long time since he'd made talismans, and the experience he'd accumulated since his early days on the immortal path was now putting it to good use. "Everything you learn in every stage of life is precious; you never know when it might come in handy," Liu Xing said with emotion.

However, the high-level talisman that now formed in his mind was far superior to the low-level talismans he had refined during the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, even with his rich experience in talisman drawing, he was still unable to do it. On his first attempt, with a "puff", the prototype of the talisman disappeared into thin air.

Liu Xing remained undeterred and continued to work hard. He recalled when he first learned to draw talismans while still working for the Wang family. At first, he couldn't draw a single one in a month, practicing and experimenting day and night. When his spiritual energy was depleted, he would meditate on the spot to recover, and when he felt tired, he would sleep in the workshop to recover. Those days were hard but fulfilling. Seeing his diligence and eagerness to learn, his supervisor rewarded him generously. Later, his skills improved, and his success rate in drawing talismans increased. He secretly saved up a large amount of talismans, which he then sold for cultivation resources, allowing him to raise his cultivation to the peak of Qi training in a short period of time. Looking back now, these little details are still vivid in his mind, and Liu Xing is pleased with his past efforts.

As he was reminiscing, the newly formed talisman in his mind tore apart again. Liu Xing gathered his thoughts and studied the secret technique from the beginning. He meditated silently for a while to adjust his condition to the best state, and then began a new round of attempts.

There's a significant difference between drawing talismans with spiritual consciousness and those with brush and ink. Modern seal talismans are created with spiritual power, lacking a carrier, making them more challenging. Liu Xing previously used external objects like talisman brushes, paper, and ink to force his spiritual energy out of his body and seal it for use. High-level talismans, capable of carrying high-level spells, require a higher-level carrier, such as the fur of a high-level demon beast or top-grade jade.

After repeated attempts and tireless exploration, he finally succeeded in drawing his first "seal" after countless failures. Liu Xing carefully observed the seal in his sea of ​​consciousness and felt that it was exactly the same as the description in the secret technique. After checking that there were no problems, he prepared to experiment with the beard to see how it worked.

Looking at the King Kong Ape in front of him who was still unconscious and whose spiritual power was blocked and unable to use it to heal his wounds, Liu Xing no longer hesitated.

"Go!" The seal transformed into a streak of green light and shot towards the King Kong Ape's dantian, a miniature ape, like a smaller version of King Kong. The seal penetrated the soul's sea of ​​consciousness without hindrance, planting a mark on its soul.

This ease was certainly due to the King Kong Ape's unconsciousness, but it was also due to the fact that the other party possessed no protective treasures. If someone planted a soul mark on him, Pang Pang would have undoubtedly spit out a mouthful of saliva to block it. If a greater threat to his primordial spirit arose, Yu Di would have undoubtedly appeared to protect him. With these two treasures in hand, his primordial spirit and soul were at peace.

Liu Xing was secretly excited after easily planting the seal on Mao Huzi. He then silently practiced his skills, chanted spells, and made the seal fit better with the other party's soul.

Feeling something more in his soul, Mao Huzi finally woke up. His eyes were filled with fear as he was unable to move due to the blockage of his spiritual power. His body could not move, but his soul struggled desperately.

Liu Xing hurriedly cast a spell to soothe the opponent's soul. After a long moment, the seal merged perfectly with its soul. Unless Liu Xing voluntarily withdrew the seal or a master two realms higher than Liu Xing personally removed the seal, the opponent would be forever controlled by Liu Xing. King Kong's soul gradually shifted from resistance to obedience, and a light gradually brightened in his dejected eyes. From then on, the seal and the talisman were complete, and King Kong would no longer resist.

Due to the wind and thunder attributes of the Lei Zha Gong, the seal talisman possessed an extremely strong thunder force. Liu Xing only needed to detonate the seal, and the opponent's soul would instantly be annihilated. Who would dare to resist? Even more terrifying, the seal talisman would subtly influence the soul's affinity for the planter. Long-term brainwashing would make the latter infinitely obedient.

Liu Xing untied the spiritual power blockade of Mao Huzi and watched its performance quietly.

"I greet my master and will obey his orders from now on." Under the influence of the seal, Mao Huzi involuntarily knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully. Judging from his movements, it seemed that he was still struggling a little.

"It seems that it will take some time for the seal to take full effect." Liu Xing thought silently, but he was not in a hurry. The current effect was already very good.

"Okay! Okay! You are my first general, and from now on you will be called General King Kong!" Liu Xing answered excitedly.

"Yes, master!" King Kong stood up and answered loudly and forcefully, his willingness to obey seemed even stronger.

"Oh, by the way, don't call me master in the future. Well, just call me Marshal!" Liu Xing felt a little awkward being called master. The seal was only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, not a soul contract.

"Yes! Marshal!" General King Kong had no intention of resisting.

"You should take the time to recover from your injuries. I will come to help you improve your cultivation later!" Liu Xing was very satisfied with the effect of the seal after seeing King Kong's performance.

"Yes!" King Kong answered, and without hesitation he sat down to meditate and recover.

In its recent battle with Liu Xing, it had been defeated despite his strongest strength, leaving it deeply impressed. It was only the pride of a high-level demon beast that had kept it from yielding, even at the cost of death. Now, under the influence of the seal, it had finally submitted. However, this battle had greatly benefited its cultivation. Now, as it calmed down and silently contemplated, the bottleneck that had remained inactive for years seemed to be loosening.
