Chapter 671 There is a way forward
What Mara gave to Yu Cang was a ray of "light".
Obviously, this is a ban.
Yu Cang stretched out his hand and caught the light in his hand - a warmth fell on his palm. Yu Cang did not sense any "weight", but he already knew for sure that something was placed on his palm at this moment.
He was a little curious: "Bo Xun, how do I use this restriction?"
"Last night, I observed the system called Soul Cards," Po Xun said slowly. "All I need to do is find a blank Soul Card to hold this beam of light. Besides that, if you have a place on your body that can hold light, you can also store it there."
"For example?"
"For humans, they should only have eyes—if you have other talents, then you can also have more places to store light. If you use this method to store restrictions, then when you use it, the activation speed will be faster."
"I see." Yu Cang nodded, "I understand."
He immediately took out a blank soul card and brought it close to the beam of light. Immediately, Yu Cang felt a strange suction force faintly acting on his fingertips, but there was no sign of the light entering the soul card.
Upon seeing this, Yu Cang seemed to have a flash of enlightenment in his mind, so he immediately activated the soul energy well, injected a trace of soul energy into the blank soul card, and tried to connect to the beam of light in the same way as connecting soul cards - sure enough, in this way, the light slowly seeped into the soul card, and bits of text also appeared on it.
There was something strange in Yu Cang's eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment when the light and the blank soul card merged, Yu Cang asked Po Xun:
"Bo Xun, in your opinion, what is the most crucial principle of this 'restriction'? What is the difference between it and other soul cards?"
He was very curious about this card-making technology that only Changsheng could master.
"Restriction...actually, it's not fundamentally different from other totems...or other card-making techniques. I'm not a card-maker, so I don't understand this ability. I only know that it's probably the result of Changsheng incorporating his own 'divine power' into the card-making process."
"Magic power?" Yu Cang understood.
It wasn't too surprising.
Changsheng is a hybrid of Chilong and he cut off his own bloodline with his own strength, so it is normal that his magical powers are stronger.
"That's right." Bo Xun nodded. "Changsheng only specializes in one magical power, called 'Solitary Heavenly Light'. It is the great power he gained by combining his own understanding with the magical powers of my clan...
"My clan's magical powers are particularly adept at domination and suppression. Therefore, those weaker than Changsheng would never raise the thought of resisting him. They would only become fuel, silently plundering the 'light' within their spirituality. Lingsui and I were incredibly lucky, as we were able to successfully launch a sneak attack when Changsheng was at his weakest, attempting a breakthrough.
"With this magical power, light can be manipulated at will in Changsheng's hands. This is how 'restrictions' come into being... If it weren't for Gu Jue Tianguang, it would be difficult for others to create restrictions like Changsheng.
"As for the difference between restrictions and other soul cards... restrictions can be transmitted with light and stored in light. Because of this feature, Changsheng can activate a restriction from thousands of kilometers away, or even thousands of years later. Furthermore, before the restriction is actually activated, it is difficult for others to detect any clues, making it impossible to defend against it.
"But this also comes at a price—activating the restriction requires not only soul energy, but also something non-renewable... Changsheng seems to call it 'light in the brain,' but no one knows what it is."
Hearing this, Yu Cang frowned slightly: "Light in the brain? ...What is that?"
"Although I'm also a Chilong, I don't really understand it. I just know it's probably a part of the human soul... The light in the brain cannot be restored, and each person has a limited amount. But Changsheng used his supernatural powers to open up the Buddha Kingdom and used the Dharma to harvest the light in other people's brains, so he has no shortage of this thing."
"...Do I need to consume this substance to activate this restriction?"
Bo Xun nodded: "Yes - but, thousands of years ago, Changsheng had already stored a lot of brain light on this restriction, enough to support the activation of this restriction three times, so you don't have to worry.
"In fact, it is precisely because of the scarcity of the Light in the Brain that I can only give you one restriction. The other restrictions have lost the conditions for activation."
As Changsheng's hunting pet, that is, the card box, Bo Xun has almost all of Changsheng's soul cards in his body, so it is naturally impossible that there is only this one restriction.
As he said, due to the lack of "light in the brain", the other restrictions no longer have the conditions to be activated... unless Yu Cang can also be cruel enough to use his own, or plunder others'.
But, regardless of whether Yu Cang would do so, he had no idea what the light in his mind was, so he could not plunder it at all.
Although he knew that this was a part of the soul, the composition of the soul was very complicated. Even La could not say that he knew the soul of a living creature very well, let alone him, Yu Cang.
"The Immortal Tent has many restrictions left by the Immortals that can be used normally, but those restrictions can automatically call up the 'Light in the Brain' from the Buddha Kingdom when activated... If you go outside the Immortal Tent, the Light in the Brain will be of little use."
Po Xun continued, "Once you've established a connection between this restriction and the Soul Energy Well, you can use it normally... You can also place it in your eye instead of the card box. This way, it can be activated more quickly and conveniently... However, there's a risk of your mind being burned by the 'light' remaining inside."
Yu Cang nodded: "I understand."
At this time, the restriction has completely penetrated into the soul card, and the rules of the soul card clearly describe the power of this restriction.
…
Soul Card Name: There is a Clear Road Ahead
Category: Spell Card
Quality: Heirloom
Attribute: Light
ability:
This Is Not a Dead End: When the Soul Well is empty and Mental Stress is at full, this Soul Card can be activated without consuming Soul Energy. Select a Summoned Beast from a Soul Card on Death Cooldown or disconnected, granting the Card Box all of its abilities and doubling the panel stats of both you and the Card Box.
[There is a way forward]: Disconnect the soul card that is in death cooldown and activate it, allowing the card box to gain [Superb View].
…
[Superb View]: Within a 500-meter radius, all non-light energy and matter will be continuously consumed, while light energy and matter will be absorbed. This ability will disappear when all energy is exhausted. This ability no longer affects the user.
…
Seeing the power of this soul card, Yu Cang understood it.
This is a super-level spell card!
There is no doubt that as a restriction that is qualified to be added to the "Card Box" by Changsheng, the ability of this soul card is among the best even among the legendary ones!
And because he was still very weak, the soul card that Bo Xun gave him was obviously used to save his life.
The activation of the restriction requires the consumption of both "soul energy" and "light in the brain". There is enough light in the brain in this restriction to support Yu Cang's use three times, but the soul energy required for activation still has to be paid by Yu Cang himself.
Fortunately, as long as you are in the "Dead End" state with Soul Energy at 0 and Mental Stress at full value, this card does not even require Soul Energy consumption... and the effect is also very powerful.
Although [This is not a dead end] does not seem to be as powerful as the magic shield in terms of life-saving ability, it can be very effective at certain times.
Directly allow yourself to obtain double panel blessings and all abilities of a summoned beast!
As long as there is a corresponding soul card, it will be enough for Yu Cang to transform into a melee soul card master on the spot.
That is... the scope of this restriction also includes the card box... This is a bit abstract to Cang.
You know, his card box is just an immobile totem creation. Let him get the panel of the summoned beast... uh, use it as a weapon?
However, the [Spectacular View] provided by [A Clear Path Ahead] is a real life-saving skill.
This is a domain skill. Within the domain, the "light" is not wiped out, but absorbed, leaving nothing behind.
It can be imagined that after it is opened, wherever you go will be an absolute "thoroughfare" and nothing will be left.
The moment it was activated, [Superb Scenery] possessed a super-level, legendary energy reserve, sufficient to last for a long time. As long as there was enough "light" within the domain, this domain could even exist indefinitely.
The only drawback is that this field cannot distinguish between friend and foe... Once it is opened, only Yu Cang himself can survive, and everyone else will be wiped out by the field.
If he were to encounter danger when he was alone, this would indeed be a good trump card.
However, there are some regrets.
The method of making the restriction is closely related to the magical power of longevity. From this point of view, Yu Cang himself probably has no chance to make the restriction... Well, it would be better if this weird thing was lost.
"Thank you, Mara."
"It would be great if I could help the Venerable."
After putting the Soul Card away, Yu Cang looked at Boxun and said, "I won't accept your Soul Card for nothing... If you have any requests, you can tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Po Xun's eyes lit up: "I hope to become a disciple of the Venerable..."
"That won't work." Yu Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I've already said that my level is limited and I can't teach you... I do know a few very powerful spirit beasts that I can introduce you to... but they're only mythical."
The disappointment in Bo Xun's eyes was hard to conceal: "No need, Venerable."
He didn't have much desire to see other mythical beasts.
Myths are not uncommon among spiritual beasts.
In the era of Changsheng, wild beasts had not yet invaded on a large scale, and the Blue Star was still ruled by spiritual beasts. At that time, there were countless mythical spiritual beasts in the world, and Bo Xun had seen many of them, so it was not surprising.
Besides, he himself is a myth.
"Apart from this, I can do my best to satisfy you."
"This..." Bo Xun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then...what if I want to go out and take a look..."
"Go out?" Yu Cang was stunned. "Do you mean leave the immortal tent?"
Bo Xun shook his head: "No... I want to go and take a look at the starry sky."
"so……"
"You said before that I am now a being called a Star God... You must know a lot about the starry sky. I wonder if you know a way to reach the starry sky?"
Boxun looked at Yu Cang, a hint of hope in his expression.
But obviously, he might not have held out much hope.
When faced with this question, Yu Cang's expression looked a little strange.
The way to the starry sky... maybe he actually knows this.
The Blue Star is very special. It is difficult for the creatures here to go to the starry sky... because according to the rules, all the substances here are nutrients for Chao Ci's growth, so before Chao Ci breaks out of the shell, the "eggshell" will not allow nutrients to be lost.
Even mythical beasts cannot escape this rule.
Judging from Mara's expression, he obviously didn't know this.
"The request you mentioned is not difficult—"
Upon hearing this, Bo Xun's eyes lit up.
But Yu Cang immediately said:
“But right now, it’s hard for me to do that.”
"……Why?"
"There's nothing worth seeing in the starry sky now." Yu Cang shook his head and didn't mention Chao Ci. "The starry sky is full of desolate things... As a spirit beast, you probably can't escape the fate of being infected by desolate things.
"However, your identity as a 'Star God' protected you from this."
Before, La’s way of avoiding Huang’s infection was to hunt the God of Authority and replace him.
In this world, before all living beings are infected, the God of Authority will not be infected and become desolate... It is precisely because of this that the current Bo Xun has escaped the disaster.
This is where the contradiction lies.
If Mara wants to go to the starry sky, he must first give up his identity as a star god. If so, he will probably be infected as soon as he enters the starry sky.
Seeing that Bo Xun's expression seemed a little gloomy, Yu Cang said again:
"However, this is only for now—we are looking for a way to fight Huang. If we succeed... I can fulfill your wish."
“…”
Yu Cang patted Boxun's shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'm moving forward along this path. When I succeed, I'll take you to the starry sky."
If Huang's crisis disappears... then the Longevity Tent seems to have no need to continue to exist.
At that time, the hunters can return to the land of the real world, instead of staying in this strange space, closed off from the outside world and unable to see the scenery outside.
Lou Yan wants to destroy the Buddhist Kingdom, so the Longevity Account will sooner or later become history... That day will probably not be too far away.
Yu Cang's words seemed to give Xun some information.
His eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he took a deep breath.
"I understand, Your Excellency."
He said seriously,
"I trust you—until then, please allow me to take care of the Longevity Tent for you, Your Excellency."
"Not for me." Yu Cang smiled, "but for Lou Yan—he is the Khan here."
"I understand, Venerable." Mara agreed.
And, at this moment.
A figure appeared at the door.
"teacher."
Lou Yan looked very nervous.
"It's time...it's time to go to the Great King's Court...Today, I will be crowned..."
