Chapter 723: Deep Holding Mantis Clip And Key To Yun Bai’s Seal
Seeing as how the System already had information about it in the Data bank, Lin Wu understood that it was actually a well known spirit tool.
Usually Peak grade spirit tools would be very rare and difficult to make. Thus, their numbers would take a while to grow over the years. This would also give the people enough time to learn about them.
Their sales and production would also be rather high profile and would get a lot of bids on them. After all, the Spirit tool refiner would advertise his creations as much as possible so that he could get back the value of his hard work.
It would also serve as a way to increase their reputation and skill.
Thus, other than very few spirit tools that were intentionally kept secret, the rest would be well known in the cultivation world and be recorded in many places.
This was especially for important spirit tools like spatial storage tools. They were considered necessary spirit tools that every cultivator should have. Someone might not need a weapon or some other spirit tool, but everyone would need a spatial storage tool.
And the spatial storage tools that had high capacity were only that much expensive.
Even for peak grade spatial storage tool, the Deep Holding Mantis clip had rather expansive capacity. Which showed its value.
“This is something rather good…” Lin Wu muttered and checked more information that system had found.
Switching the windows, Lin Wu saw the origins of the Deep Holding Mantis Clip.
It was not actually made in the Frozen Cloud sect and was acquired from an independent spirit tool refiner several hundred years ago.
Wang Xiong tried to access the Spatial storage tool but was at a loss.
“Senior, I can’t get though it. Even with the spirit sense brand gone, it is still inaccessible.” Wang Xiong spoke.
“What!? Is it broken!?” Ye Jin said anxiously.
“It is just locked.” Lin Wu replied. “Let me have a look.”
“Here you go, Senior.” Wang Xiong handed the clip to Lin Wu.
‘System, unlock it,’ Lin Wu ordered.
~shua~
Wang Xiong and Ye Jin then saw Lin Wu touching the clip and making several small runes appear in the air. The runes all spun around the clip before taking place at a specific spot.
‘He’s unraveling it on the fly?’ Ye Jin was stunned.
She could somewhat understand what Lin Wu was doing, and it was rather shocking to her. Unraveling a formation or formation array was not easy and if a cultivator wanted to do that, they would first study what the formulations were.
Then they would have to verify which permutation and combinations of runes were used to make that version of formation.
It was all a very long an exhaustive process and only those that were greatly experienced and learned in formations would be able to do what Lin Wu was doing.
After all, not everyone had access to a massive Data Bank like the system did.
Wang Xiong also watched everything that Lin Wu did carefully, not forgetting to learn as much as he could from it.
He knew just how valuable this little act could be. After all, even the elders of the sect that were proficient in formations didn’t teach like this. Their demonstration was rather lengthy and roundabout.
While Lin Wu was demonstrating a direct method.
After about ten minutes, the runes all joined together and turned into a spherical formation that sank into the Deep Holding Mantis clip.
~HONG~
Once that happened, the clip let out a vibrating sound and settled down.
“It is done.” Lin Wu spoke.
Feeling impressed, Wang Xiong carefully checked the Deep Holding Mantis clip for the key and soon found it. He didn’t even flinch, seeing the massive amounts of resources that were in the Supreme elder’s storage.
No amount of resources would be enough to shock him right now after seeing Lin Wu’s battle against the supreme elder and his current demonstration.
Neither did he desire those resources. To him, all of them belonged to Lin Wu rightfully and he would have no say in it. Even if he was offered them, Wang Xiong would deny them rather than displease Lin Wu.
“So that’s the key?” Lin Wu asked.
“Yes. From the intel we got, this should be the key.” Wang Xiong holding a small indigo colored bead.
Lin Wu got the system to check it just in case and got the confirmation that it really was the key to a formation array.
“Let’s go then.” Lin Wu stated.
The three of them flew to the peak where the Guardian was sealed and came to stand in sky at the very top.
“Let’s see if this works.” Wang Xiong said and lifted the indigo bead.
~shua~
The bead automatically floated out of his hand and flew towards the invisible barrier.
~HONG~
It touched the barrier and several concentric circles of runes appeared around it. The barrier became visible and several chain like processes could be seen inside it. The chains looked like they were anchored to the air and the other end was tying up what looked like a white sphere.
The white sphere was about three meters in diameter and nothing could be inside it.
‘One, two… six… twelve restrains. They actually made such a restraining formation array.’ Lin Wu noted.
Some of these were even seen in the Taiji Celestial’s tomb, thus Lin Wu knew how powerful they could be. Even with the system’s help, it would take at least a couple of days for Lin Wu to break the seal.
‘This might actually be stronger than my defenses,’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
He understood that such a formation array couldn’t just be made by anyone and would have taken a very long time to make.
‘This was made especially with the Yun Bai in mind. There is no other way it could be this specific to counter his abilities. There is even a bloodline seal included.’ Lin Wu analyzed.
~HUMM~
Finally, the bead finished its word and dispelled all the restrains!
