C4 First Mysterious Restriction
chapter 3, Profound Restriction
The only way to unlock the shackles was to cultivate the Profound Restriction Palm Seal, carving it onto the shackles, allowing them to be unlocked.
In the Forbidden Realm, there were thousands of Profound Restriction, but there were only 108 shackles in the human body. Therefore, each shackle corresponded to several Profound Restriction, which meant that several Profound Restriction could be used to break the same shackle.
The first shackle on the first Forbidden Gate in the human body was called the "Skin Tempering Lock." There were tens of thousands of Profound Restriction that could open it, and the simplest one was called "One Profound Restriction."
Using one Profound Restriction to open the first shackle in the human body was the choice of a large number of people, because one Profound Restriction was easy to understand. The only flaw was that it could not perfectly unlock the shackle. However... There were 108 shackles in the path of cultivation, and there was no need for every shackle to be perfectly unlocked. So, whether or not he could perfectly unlock the shackles wasn't that important.
Of course, it could not be excluded that some peerless geniuses were often different from ordinary people and possessed obsessive-compulsive disorder. The shackles within their bodies could only be perfectly unlocked, or else they would not be able to open it.
After Gai Yin followed Chen Kongyin into the Compendium Pavilion, he saw the entire Compendium Pavilion.
In the middle of the Compendium Pavilion was a large hall. There were a few long tables and long benches for people to read and use. Around them were bookshelves. The bookshelves were filled with many books. These books were categorized and placed in an unusually orderly manner.
In the hall, there were already people reading on the long table. At the same time, they waved their hands, gesturing something. Seeing Chen Kongyin walk in, they all stopped what they were doing. They smiled at Chen Kongyin. However, when they saw Gai Yin, they were slightly stunned. It took a long time for them to react. They didn't understand why a trash like Gai Yin would come to the Compendium Pavilion.
Someone was dissatisfied and shouted in a low voice: "Gai Yin? This is where you should come!"
Gai Yin did not speak, because Chen Kongyin had already answered for him. "I brought him in. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone did not think that Chen Kongyin was the one who brought Gai Yin in. They were at a loss for words, and no one said anything else.
Chen Kongyin had already successfully unlocked the four shackles in her body and was about to unlock the fifth shackle, the "Qi Gathering Lock." Once the Qi Gathering Lock was unlocked, there would be a restriction in her body. With the support of her body, the power she could unleash would become stronger. At the same time, cultivators who had five locks opened in their bodies would also obtain the status that they deserved in Burning Sword City. If they were in the army... He would be the captain.
In addition, Chen Kongyin was the daughter of the city lord, so no one in the library dared to continue reprimanding Gai Yin.
Chen Kongyin found two seats and gestured for Gai Yin to sit down. She said, "You wait here. I'll go get the Profound Restriction for you."
After that, Chen Kongyin walked to the bookshelf. A moment later, she came back with two ancient yellow books. She handed one of them to Gai Yin and said, "This is the First Profound Restriction. It is the simplest Profound Restriction that can open the first shackle. It is also the easiest Profound Restriction to understand. Take a look."
Gai Yin took the book from Chen Kongyin's hand and nodded.
Chen Kongyin also sat down and sat beside Gai Yin. She opened another book. This was a Profound Restriction that could open the fifth shackle in her body.
Chen Kongyin glanced at Gai Yin. Gai Yin had already entered a state of mind and was reading the Profound Restriction carefully.
"Gai Yin, if you don't understand anything, just ask me." Chen Kongyin added. She thought that since she wanted Gai Yin to let go of his obsession, she had to make him completely convinced.
However, Gai Yin did not hear Chen Kongyin's words at all, because after Gai Yin saw the First Profound Restriction Palm Seal, he was once again immersed in the memories of his past life.
Chen Kongyin saw that Gai Yin didn't have any reaction, so she could only sigh. Gai Yin's obsession was too strong. He actually drilled into the Profound Restriction the moment he saw it. Learning the Profound Restriction was not like reading and writing. One had to pay attention to the method. She felt that Gai Yin would slowly put the book down, even if the Profound Restriction was very simple. If he read like Gai Yin, he would not be able to learn anything.
Chen Kongyin ignored Gai Yin. She flipped open the Profound Restriction Handprint that she wanted to learn and started to draw according to the handprint in the book.
As for Gai Yin, after seeing the First Profound Restriction Palm Seal, he seemed to have seen a new clue. This clue was slowly reviving the memory in the depths of his mind.
The First Profound Restriction was the simplest Profound Restriction out of the ten million Profound Restriction. It was called the Profound Restriction Ancestral because the foundation of all Profound Restriction was built on the First Profound Restriction. However, the current one Profound Restriction was very different from the one from three thousand three hundred years ago.
Gai Yin recalled the purest one Profound Restriction from 3,300 years ago with the help of the First Profound Restriction Seal. That was the true one Profound Restriction. The current one Profound Restriction was a modified one Profound Restriction.
However, the first shackle in Gai Yin's body couldn't be broken with just one Profound Restriction, because Gai Yin understood that it wasn't because the shackle in his body couldn't be carved with the Profound Restriction, but because every shackle in his body could only be carved with the purest Profound Restriction. Furthermore, each shackle needed to be carved with several Profound Restriction before it could be opened.
Gai Yin's body was the reincarnation of a Combat Sovereign from three thousand three hundred years ago, so his path of cultivation was different. The Profound Restriction he needed was also extremely harsh.
"One Profound Restriction is the number of Profound Restriction, and the number of Profound Restriction is the purest Profound Restriction. I can only carve the number of Profound Restriction on my shackles, but I still can't break the first shackle in my body with just one Profound Restriction. I still need two purest Profound Restriction. " Gai Yin thought for a long time and finally figured out his cultivation method. He came back to his senses and closed the Profound Restriction Scroll.
He looked at Chen Kongyin, who was beside him. Chen Kongyin had her eyes closed and was carefully studying the Profound Restriction that she had learned. She did not notice Gai Yin at all.
Gai Yin was afraid to disturb Chen Kongyin. He carefully stood up and walked to the bookshelf where Chen Kongyin had just picked up the book. He started to search carefully.
Gai Yin was looking for the Profound Restriction with the number "one." Only the Profound Restriction with the number "one" was the purest Profound Restriction. It was also the Profound Restriction that could be engraved on the first shackle, so Gai Yin searched very carefully.
"The Profound Restriction of Returning to One!" Gai Yin found a Profound Restriction with the word "one." He quickly took the book down. He did not leave the bookshelf, but continued to search.
Gai Yin knew that the first shackle in his body needed at least three purest Profound Restriction to open.
A moment later, Gai Yin found another one called "True One Profound Restriction."
After that, Gai Yin returned to his seat with the two books.
"Did you see clearly, what book did that trash Gai Yin choose?" Someone paid attention to Gai Yin and saw him choose the book. He then asked.
"I saw it clearly. He chose the Profound Restriction of Returning to Oneness and the Profound Restriction of True Oneness."
"What? That trash chose the two hardest Profound Restriction Scrolls? He, a trash, dared to choose the hardest Profound Restriction Scroll?" This person became excited, his face full of disbelief.
"Ai, you said that he is trash, but how would trash know how difficult it is? It should be because he thinks that the Profound Restriction is simple, and thinks that the Profound Restriction with the word 'one' is very simple."
"That's right, that's true. After all, it's trash. Trash knows how difficult it is..." The man felt relieved and laughed at Gai Yin. He looked at Gai Yin's back and shook his head.
Gai Yin earnestly flipped through the two Profound Restriction Scrolls. The Profound Restriction Handprint described in these two scrolls was very complicated. It was precisely because it was very complicated that it had not been modified. It was the purest Profound Restriction. However, no matter how complicated the seal was, Gai Yin had only flipped through it once. He had memorized all the Profound Restriction palm prints.
After that, Gai Yin didn't hesitate. He started to meditate, preparing to engrave these Profound Restriction Seals onto the first shackle in his body, and then open up his path of cultivation after being reborn.
