Five short years (1)

Bighead went to the place where he had last parted with Yun-jie and found a place to sit down. He thought back to what happened to him a moment ago. He seemed to have just had a dream.

"Chattering." The sound woke him from his stupor.

"What's going on? What is that sound?" Bighead muttered to himself. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a few ants' quarrelling '. It was a cute exchange of words.

"Eh?" Bighead was stunned. How could he hear their voices? Nothing like this had happened before. This made him think of that dream he had just had. Then, he looked into his heart and became even more stunned.

A perfectly formed "seal" character appeared in his body. The "seal" character stood out clearly against the gray light.

"This is actually real." He immediately looked at the message in his head. The moment his Spiritual Sense came into contact with it, he felt a wave of dizziness. Clearly, that information was extremely huge.

The words "Sealing Technique" appeared in his mind, followed by an introduction of the sealing technique. Although this was given to him by the sealed demon, his curiosity towards new things prompted him to continue reading. If it was a normal cultivation technique, it would have been alright. But now, it was a lost cultivation technique. How could Bighead not be curious?

"Hehe, so that's how it is. No wonder that sealed evil demon had to give this cultivation technique to me. Maybe in this world, only I can cultivate it." Bighead smiled after reading the information.

This book required one to have the innate five elements body to practice, and one had to have six fingers (the right hand only had the thumb above it). Otherwise, it would be easy for one's cultivation to go berserk. Furthermore, those handprints were only suitable for this kind of person to cultivate.

In fact, this cultivation method was indeed very tyrannical. As long as they were sealed, other than himself or someone else who had cultivated the same sealing technique as the caster and were at a higher level than the caster, no one else would be able to undo it. That was to say, no one else other than him could break his seal.

Although the offensive power of this technique wasn't very high, it was different from the others.

There were three sealing arts recorded within the sealing art. They were: Seal of Living Things, Seal of Function, and Seal of Energy.

Let's talk about the seal of this living creature first. As the name implies, this living creature's seal is a magic technique to seal living beings. However, there was a certain limit to this seal, and that was that one had to use a scroll as the sealing medium. And once it was sealed, then aside from the person who cast the technique, no one else could break the seal.

Even if he tore the scroll to shreds, once he did so, the living being sealed inside would disappear. Even the caster would not be able to turn the situation around. This was also the lowest level seal.

Function Seal. To put it bluntly, it was a function that sealed the user within a person's body. The average person wouldn't use it because it was too insidious. It's not a humane thing to do, so few people use it.

Finally, there was the energy seal. This was the sealing technique created by the sealing evil spirits, and it was the most important thing to do in this place. This cultivation technique combined the advantages of the first two and the method of cultivation. Apart from the two flaws, it could be said that this sealing art was absolutely perfect.

It only required a handprint and no medium, thus greatly saving the sealing time. During the battle between the two, it could seal the opponent in an unexpected manner. Moreover, no one knew what happened, greatly enhancing the chances of victory. It really was a martial art that required one to kill someone for their money.

Logically speaking, this sealing technique should be able to seal all energies, but it was not an absolute art. Because any object is made of energy, but those who are inanimate cannot be sealed. This was its only weakness, and it was not a big problem.

The sealing arts were divided into nine levels. Each level increased, the 'seal' character in the body would appear as a gesture, and when one reached the ninth level, they would form a 'seal' character. However, this level of improvement was extremely slow.

This sealing technique only had nine words, "Rings, Soldiers, Fighting, and those, all of them are in the formation, in the column, and in the front." Each layer could only use the corresponding chant, which was to say, only when one reached a certain level could they use the corresponding seal.

The first level allowed one to use the 'Arrive' seal, and so on and so forth. Of course, as long as one reached the 'Arrive' seal, one could use two or more seals at the same time.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to test its might.

As such, he followed the instructions written inside and began to close the seal. As this was his first time completing the seal, the speed at which he was completing the seal was extremely slow.

Finally, he completed the handprint. Immediately after, "Lin" came out of his mouth, and this voice spread out like a wave. As if summoned by something, the surrounding spiritual energy immediately gathered towards Bighead.

"My goodness, he's really powerful. I can also train for a while to consolidate my strength." As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the spiritual energy.

At the same time as he closed his eyes, because the hand seal did not change, a huge "Lin" character appeared where he was sitting, and Bighead was sitting right in the middle of that character. Thick streams of spirit energy formed a "ribbon" that connected to his body, and Bighead felt a pure energy enter his body.

Suddenly, the character flashed and floated up with its head. If someone saw him floating in the air like this, it would be worse than seeing a ghost. Fortunately, there was a formation set up by Li Xing here. If someone were to disturb him at this time, he would have to retreat for at least several years.

At this moment, Hou Di was completely unaware of all this.

Suddenly, the sword essence in his body flashed, and all the energy was absorbed by the sword essence. However, the rate of absorption was not as fast as the rate of absorption of the spiritual energy. Thus, Bighead used his own spiritual sense to drive the spiritual energy into the cultivation of the Sealing Art.

His mind flashed with the cultivation method of the sealing technique. Because the last time he had been helped to ascend to the first level, he had already taken the spiritual energy route once, so he started to cultivate as if nothing had happened.

Time passed by in this manner.

In the blink of an eye, it was night. He felt that his spiritual energy had suddenly decreased. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at it doubtfully. He could not help but loosen his hand seal.

"Ah!" Bighead fell from the sky. He didn't notice that he was floating in the air. He unintentionally let go of his hands that were in the process of forming the seal. The 'Prometheus' beneath him disappeared without the support of the hand seal. His current power of sealing was very little, so he had to use hand seals to gather his strength.

And without the support of the word 'face', his body fell.

"Phew, absorbing so much spiritual energy, yet there isn't even the slightest reaction from those swords. Seriously, wasn't it quite fast in the past?" Bighead complained.

He was able to cultivate so fast yesterday. Not only did he absorb some spiritual energy, he also absorbed some of the energy from the book.

Now that he had only absorbed a little bit of spiritual energy, how could he compare it to the condensed energy? Moreover, who could have such cultivation speed like him? Still not satisfied, really.

"Sigh!" Regardless, this sealing technique is too great. In the future, when I have nothing else to do, I will start to practice those hand seals, even though I won't be able to use my sword essence. When I reach the later stages of my training, with this sealing technique, wouldn't I be invincible? Haha. " Bighead seemed to have seen the birth of a great hero, and he was extremely excited.

"You stinking brat, can you come back early to die?" Eh? How did you reach the early Nascent Soul stage? I've cultivated for hundreds of years to reach this stage. " Li Xing said in surprise. Seeing Bighead come out to find him so late, who knew he was playing here, Li Xing became so angry.

"What? He's just playing here, and just as he was about to go back, you came. Seriously, you always hit him on the head, and it made him even worse." Bighead complained.

"I didn't ask you this, how did your mental realm improve so fast?" Li Xing asked.

"My mental realm is rising fast, why haven't I felt it?" Bighead asked, puzzled.

"Your mental state has now reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. This is an extraordinary realm. I've cultivated for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen someone who has cultivated for just a few days have such a high mental state." Li Xing said in surprise.

"Then is it good or bad to be high-spirited?" Bighead asked.

"Of course it's fine. If my mental realm is higher, then I can control more energy. As long as I have enough energy, I can make a breakthrough. Moreover, my cultivation speed has also increased by a lot. This is the best thing that can happen. " Li Xing said in a slightly envious manner.

This was also the last thing the evil spirits were sealed to do for Big-head, increasing his mental realm.

"What? You scared me? It's not long, why are you being so serious? I'm a child, you won't be able to afford it." Bighead patted his chest as he spoke.

"You stinking brat, hurry up and come back with me. It's already so late, are you still going to eat or not?" Li Xing knew that asking any further questions would be futile, so he didn't ask anymore.

When he said this, Bighead really did feel hungry, and he looked at his grandfather with embarrassment.

"Grandfather, I'm really a bit hungry. Is there anything else to eat?" As long as he reached the Aurous Core stage, he would basically be able to get nourishment from the spiritual energy and would not need to eat at all. But together with these treasures, it was fine if he did not eat, but if they did not, they would have to wait for their deaths. Thus, he had formed the habit of eating.

"I knew you brat, you're greedy. I've already prepared it for you. I left it for you, hurry back home and eat it." Li Xing dotingly said. When Bighead heard this, he vanished, leaving behind a helpless Li Xing.

"This kid, he's really something. When will he grow up?" Li Xing said helplessly.
