Chapter 1281 Mo Family's Divine Power: Not a Blade of Damage!
Gu Xiu's words made Pei Yanzhou stiffen, forcing an awkward smile.
Gu Xiu really saw right through him.
He not only saw through his own enjoyment of false prosperity, which ultimately led to a difficult situation, but he also saw through the sliver of illusion he harbored in his heart.
Yes, he did have a bit of a fantasy.
After all, the scene in Wuwei City was too shocking, and he even guessed that it was thanks to his mechanical beast. Although reason told him that this was impossible, he still felt a little unwilling.
"Master Pei, shall we begin now?" Just then, Dugu Huai's question came.
The others in the hall also looked over.
The people from the Sacred Flame Palace tried to stop him, even saying that doing so would waste the sacred wax stones that Pei Yanzhou had carefully selected. But naturally, no one believed their argument, unless Pei Yanzhou truly proved that he had the ability to distinguish the quality of sacred wax stones.
What does the waste of those few pieces of holy wax stone matter?
Faced with everyone's gaze, Pei Yanzhou felt extremely guilty. After hesitating for a long time, he turned to look at Gu Xiu. The sharpness in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a pleading look.
However, he did not ask Gu Xiu for help.
"Thank you for suggesting that Dugu Huai use the 'Following the Heavens and Responding to the Times' method, which at least prevented Sihuo City from being destroyed because of me."
"if……"
"I have failed, but I still hope you can save the people of Sihuo City. If you agree, I will be at your mercy and will be willing to serve you from now on."
After saying this, Pei Yanzhou bowed deeply to Gu Xiu before turning around and walking towards the center of the hall.
He must accept the test of conforming to the times and the will of Heaven.
then.
Falling from a height.
"It seems this kid isn't so bad after all; he's mostly just stupid. He's being used as a tool and he's even smug about it." Looking at his tragic expression, Sui Xing couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Gu Xiu didn't respond.
He simply looked at the somewhat transparent flower that Dugu Huai had placed in the center of the main hall.
That is the core of the Holy Light, a replica of the divine power of following the will of Heaven.
The ability to follow the will of Heaven and adapt to the times is indeed powerful.
The replica of the Holy Light Core is almost indistinguishable from the real Holy Light Core, except that it is slightly transparent. Both the Holy Light it emits and the power it contains are exactly the same.
"This Holy Light Core is the same as the Holy Light Core in Si Huo City. Whether it is the Holy Light it contains or its lifespan, it naturally includes the ability to target the Holy Wax Stone. However, it can only be maintained for one hour, so Master Pei, hurry up."
Dugu Huai's face was pale and his breath was weak. It was clear that even a master like him was struggling to use the supernatural power of following the will of Heaven.
The price to be paid is also considerable.
Pei Yanzhou stepped forward, bowed to Dugu Huai, and then came to a spot three zhang away from the core of the Holy Light.
He took a deep breath and then took out a piece of holy wax stone, which was a very small piece, no more than half the size of a fist.
Even though Pei Yanzhou had mentally prepared himself for a fall from grace, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly. The others had already craned their necks to watch, their eyes filled with apprehension, anticipation, and unease.
The group from the Sacred Flame Palace also looked tense. They clearly wanted to step forward to stop them, but didn't know how, and could only stand there anxiously.
"Let's begin."
As the voice of the Fire God came, Pei Yanzhou finally stopped hesitating. He carefully took out a small chisel and began to slowly dissect the sacred wax stone. In fact, given the fragility of the sacred wax stone, it would break on the spot even if it were dropped on the ground. His carefulness seemed completely unnecessary.
However, at times like this, naturally no one would say much.
Everyone's attention was completely drawn to the sacred wax stone, and they would occasionally turn their heads to glance at the sacred core placed in the very center, not daring to breathe loudly.
Gu Xiu stared at him as well.
He didn't just look with his eyes; his profound energy had been completely transformed into divine soul power, which now formed a giant net that enveloped Pei Yanzhou's sacred wax stone, and then explored deeper and deeper.
It must be admitted that Pei Yanzhou truly deserves to be called a semi-saint of the Mohist school's non-aggression path.
When using tools to carve, his hand is very steady. The holy wax stone, which is obviously extremely fragile, is polished away little by little in his hands, ensuring that the whole holy wax stone will not be damaged.
This tactic surprised even Gu Xiu.
You should know that because his soul was unable to break through the paraffin wax, he had tried various methods in the past few days to slowly wear down the paraffin wax and thin it out so that his soul could continue to invade.
But without exception, they all failed.
Because paraffin is a single piece, no matter how careful or meticulous one is, it can still cause a domino effect. If any part is damaged, the entire piece of paraffin will shatter, as if its balance has been broken.
Gu Xiu, Sui Xing, and Xiao Yao Pei racked their brains but couldn't find a good solution.
So, while Gu Xiu was still surprised when he saw Pei Yanzhou's methods, Sui Xing and Xiaoyao Pei were already shouting:
"That's impossible, how did he do that?"
“This paraffin wax is a single piece; it’s impossible to damage only a part without affecting the whole. Isn’t the piece he chose a sacred wax stone?”
"It's divine power!" Gu Xiu, being observant, had a guess.
Because he sensed a special divine fluctuation in Pei Yanzhou's hands and the sacred wax stone, he figured it must be a divine power from the Mo family's non-aggression path.
really.
Gu Xiu approached Dugu Huai and obtained the answer after inquiring.
"That's a unique divine ability of the Mo family, called 'Inch-Breaking Without Caution.' This divine ability is rather useless, but it is extremely effective against some special materials, such as this piece of sacred wax stone. It can make other parts of the sacred wax stone seem to be frozen, so that the whole will not be affected by local damage."
Upon hearing this, even someone as knowledgeable as Suixing couldn't help but be surprised.
This method is beyond what weapon crafting can achieve; no wonder it's called a divine power. Although it may seem useless, it can be surprisingly effective when used correctly.
Gu Xiu couldn't help but marvel as well.
He had never underestimated the power of the divine path experts. Now that he had obtained profound power, he understood even more the strength of the divine path. These divine path experts varied in strength, but the supernatural abilities they possessed were all quite extraordinary.
More importantly...
With this divine power that makes him impervious to damage, the problem of the sacred wax stone that had troubled him for so long seemed to be easily solved.
and……
His profound power can now combine three forces into one. Although it lacks the source power of divine abilities, it is already extraordinary in essence. He is very curious whether he can learn such a divine ability.
correct!
Now that I have obtained profound power, will the few Nascent Soul divine abilities I obtained before also be different?
These thoughts flashed through his mind only briefly before Gu Xiu quickly suppressed them.
The most urgent task is to explore using the small holes that Pei Yanzhou has slowly dug out of the sacred wax stone.
Previously, due to the thickness of the sacred wax stone, he tried everything but his divine soul power could not penetrate too deeply. But now that he has dug out a small hole, the result will definitely be different.
really.
As Pei Yanzhou penetrated the small hole a little deeper, Gu Xiu's divine soul power, which was already able to penetrate two-tenths of the hole, moved forward another inch, and was even only a hair's breadth away from the central core area.
This thin line made Gu Xiu's previous perception of the alternation of yin and yang, the transformation of two forces—half life and half destruction—within the Sacred Wax Stone even more direct.
He discovered that this alternation of yin and yang occurred extremely rapidly.
In particular, the closer one gets to the soul, the more one can discover the rapid speed of its transformation. In just a moment, the two completely different powers can alternate tens of thousands of times.
It seems that even if we realize this, it's useless.
Because the transition is too rapid.
Even the most powerful cultivator cannot precisely freeze the moment the hole breaks open at a point that is just right for the life force of the Holy Light Core.
I think so.
This should also be the reason why Shi Siling's inheritor, even knowing that the Holy Wax Stone was constantly changing, was unable to utilize it for the Holy Light Core.
but……
Gu Xiu, having grasped this point, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Others may not be able to make the right choice in such a rapidly changing situation, but one with the power of the Sighing Sword...
It seems like it can be done just right?
"Click!"
Just then, a crisp, delicate sound suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the entire piece of sacred wax stone, which had been kept intact by the Divine Power of Indestructibility, finally reached its breaking point and shattered in full view of everyone.
The two rapidly shifting forces within it all froze at the worst possible outcome the moment the sacred wax stone was broken.
Pei Yanzhou was not given any chance to react.
That destructive power, capable of plundering the life force of the Holy Light's core, unleashed its full force!
