Chapter 28 Escape
A sharp claw pierced the heart and then slowly pulled it out.
My heart is fresh, occasionally twitching mechanically a couple of times.
That claw looked familiar; Mo Jingxian had seen it on Lu Daozhonghe's body.
He had even fought with it, and he wouldn't mistake it for a claw that had been transformed by "awakening".
This one is just a little smaller, and the bone is even paler; you can't be mistaken.
Long Yunzhi's expression froze on her face, and she lowered her head in disbelief.
He saw his own heart for the first time.
Mo Jingxian had never seen so many emotional changes in a person's expression before, and all of this was done in a very short time.
There was confusion, resentment, bewilderment, and even a glimmer of relief at the end.
Long Yunzhi is dead.
He died at Wugou's hands.
The child he repeatedly used to blackmail Wuwei.
Long Yunzhi didn't even have time to leave a single word; her open mouth hadn't even had time to close.
Amidst the entanglements of worldly schemes, he too was unable to escape the Gu jar.
Long Yun's death was too casual, completely unworthy of his ambition.
"Father, I'm sorry! I..."
Wugou clutched the heart in her hand, like a child who had done something wrong, and her first thought was—
I beg my father's forgiveness.
"Don't blame yourself. This is your power; it's not a monster."
Suddenly, a scene of fatherly love and filial piety unfolded in front of Mo Jingxian, the scene change was so abrupt that it caught everyone off guard.
He had no idea how many secrets remained, nor was he interested in knowing any more.
The ending was obvious: the Wuwei father and son had the last laugh.
Long Yunzhi prided himself on his intelligence and long-term planning, but he never strayed from the grand scheme that Wuwei had designed for him.
Therefore, the outcome was already predetermined.
"Awareness" is the only one, that's true.
That child, Immaculate... had already become a true "awakener".
Mo Jingxian devoted some of her attention to the control panel.
The moment Long Yunzhi collapsed, the final rule naturally fell into his body.
The rules have been fully supplemented.
The name displayed on the panel changed from Mo Jingxian to "Pseudo-Awakening".
Now that things have come to this point, everything that happened before makes sense.
Wuwei had been using the Box of Bliss to cultivate "Awakening," and incidentally killed Long Yunzhi in the process.
The reason he hasn't made a move against Mo Jingxian yet is probably because he thinks it's unnecessary.
At this moment, Mo Jingxian felt a sense of submission.
If it weren't for the fact that Immaculate was too young and hadn't yet transformed into true "Awakening," he would probably already be kneeling at its feet.
"Awareness" has a rule-like dominance over all "false awareness".
Mo Jingxian placed the rules of "Pseudo-Awakening" on the scales.
Once it enters your own body, it becomes your own, right?
That's how he understood it anyway.
The "Scales of Fate" were very accommodating, accepting the rule fragments and giving away items of equal value.
"Talent: Wind Element Mastery (Beginner), Passive: Increases 'Spirit' and 'Life' attributes by 10 points."
If I remember correctly, the first transaction only gave me 10 points of life attribute.
Judging from the situation, the quality of the items in this transaction is higher than that of the Sharingan.
Through three transactions, he gradually figured out the bidding patterns of the "Scales of Fate".
Generally speaking: Rules > Permissions > Applications.
These transactions were all completed in his consciousness, and his external body began to undergo "pseudo-consciousness".
The legs slowly stretched out, and the soles of the feet almost turned into bird claws.
Time was of the essence, so he accepted the "redeem" option.
The moment consciousness faded, the power of the rules within the body vanished into thin air.
Mo Jingxian suddenly felt a sense of freedom, as if she were roaming the world, and her depleted chakra visibly began to replenish itself.
The body is recovering rapidly, and the spiritual energy overflows from the confined pool, constantly breaking through its limits.
He felt better than ever before, and in a short time he returned to his peak condition.
It's not just the thing itself that's changing.
Just after the rules were removed, Long Yunzhi's corpse also returned to its human form.
The traces of "false enlightenment" were completely erased, as if it had never existed in the world.
Wuwei also sensed the change and incredulously rushed towards him.
"What did you do?"
Seeing that her opponent's expression was genuine, Mo Jingxian jumped out of the game, even flipping the chessboard over before leaving.
The space inside the Box of Bliss began to fluctuate violently, flipping up and down.
Mo Jingxian and the others were like insects trapped in a jar, completely unable to distinguish up from down from left from right.
When his feet touched the ground and he felt solid, he realized he had returned to the original underground altar.
The contents of the Box of Bliss were all expelled.
He was the first to come to his senses. Seeing that Wuwei was still in a daze, he grabbed Long Yunzhi's body and rushed out the door.
Mo Jingxian's actions awakened Wuwei.
Corpses lay sprawled on the floor of the hall, their bloodstains still wet, unchanged from when they had entered.
Wuwei quickly searched around, but couldn't find his son.
He stared in astonishment at the Box of Elysium atop the altar, a bad premonition creeping into his heart.
-
The sun was warm and the breeze was gentle; vast expanses of grassland stretched to the horizon.
Having escaped from Ghost Lantern City, Mo Jingxian traveled a long distance, running over a hundred miles in one go.
It's estimated that Wuwei is still cleaning up the mess and won't be able to take care of himself for the time being.
Besides, I haven't revealed my identity, so I should be safe for now.
Mo Jingxian determined the direction; they were currently nearing the border of the Rain Kingdom.
There's no rush to retrieve the confidential documents; let's take stock of what we've gained first.
Here, far from any human habitation, and not worried about being disturbed, he simply sat down to rest for a while.
I opened the panel and took a look.
[Host: Mo Jingxian]
【Life: 43】
Sex: 27
[Skills: Ninjutsu, Water Dragon Technique, Magical Shackles Technique, Magical Mirror Heaven and Earth Spin, Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, Sealing Technique Principles, Water Release: Fire State Sealing]
[Talents: Water Elemental Mastery (Intermediate), Wind Elemental Mastery (Beginner)]

Reputation Points: 671
His personal stats have increased significantly, especially his "Life" stat, which is approaching the threshold for becoming a Jonin.
With the Wind Element Mastery talent unlocked, his methods and variations in combat have become much richer.
Through this incident, Mo Jingxian discovered a weakness in herself: a lack of powerful offensive methods.
Once the enemy excels in defense, it becomes quite difficult to deal with, which is very troublesome.
Close the panel, try to mobilize the chakra in your body, and release the ninjutsu "Wind Release: Vacuum Blade".
Previously, this technique required being attached to a weapon, but now he can perform it with his bare hands.
The wind-style chakra, which has cutting properties, did not cause any damage to the palm.
With a casual wave of his hand, the tops of the two-foot-tall weeds were cut off.
The blades of grass fluttered about, their cuts as smooth as if sliced with a knife.
He withdrew his palm and examined it repeatedly in front of his eyes.
Yes, the application of techniques is more flexible; not only the palms, but even the soles of the feet can be used, as long as the location can transmit chakra.
With another wave of his hand, the vacuum blade detached from his palm and shot out dozens of meters like a flying knife.
A mark five fingers wide was left on the grassland.
Mo Jingxian stopped the experiment and made a clear judgment on the effect of wind element on ninjutsu.
Practice makes perfect, and with his prior experience in water element cultivation, he quickly mastered his new talent.
Next came the biggest reward of this adventure.
A jade pendant with three cracks is held in the palm of the hand.
What exactly is this lineage? We can finally find out.
By slowly infusing water, the jade pendant gradually emitted a hazy green light.
Mo Jingxian was in no hurry, maintaining a steady input, afraid of accidentally damaging the jade tablet.
This process lasted approximately three minutes before the jade tablet stopped absorbing the substance.
The fluorescence did not diminish; it remained in this state.
After observing for a moment, Mo Jingxian made a tough decision and pressed it to her forehead.
He wasn't sure if he was doing it right, but since there were no instructions, he figured he might as well give it a try.
The moment the jade pendant touched the skin, information flooded into the mind like a tidal wave.
There were no unusual celestial phenomena or any real challenges; it was completed so easily.
The jade pendant completed its final transmission and shattered instantly.
Mo Jingxian closed her eyes to sense the information.
Information is not language, or rather, no language can clearly express what it contains.
It's a magical feeling; you don't understand it, but you know its meaning.
If we had to translate it into understandable words, perhaps "breathing method" would be a more accurate description.
Mo Jingxian named it "True Breathing Technique," and the name was quickly added to the panel.
He hadn't forgotten how practical Long Yunzhi's physical techniques were, and seeing the opportunity, he immediately began practicing them.
Mo Jingxian sat cross-legged, her back straight but not stiff, her tongue touching the upper palate, her whole body relaxed.
Focus your mind on the tip of your nose, and when you inhale, guide your breath into your lower abdomen.
When exhaling: draw your lower abdomen in, imagine the airflow circulating between your internal organs, and then slowly expel it from your body.
The mind discards distractions and captures spiritual particles in the darkness. Inhalation is not counted, and exhalation is counted from one to ten.
The message contains a proverb: Those who nourish Qi will attain divinity and longevity.
This must be what it means to increase life.
Mo Jingxian did as instructed. Regulating her breathing was simple, but she didn't quite understand how to capture spiritual particles with her divine sense. What were spiritual particles?
No one can answer this question.
He doesn't understand, but he can try. Various elements should be quite close to the definition of spiritual particles.
If you can capture elements, that's easy; not only capturing, but also chatting is possible.
Next, Mo Jingxian discovered that only water and wind elements remained in her body.
Furthermore, the elements not only participate in chakra, but some of them are also integrated into the body and the sea of consciousness.
Perhaps I can only perceive these two types of elements, or perhaps there are other reasons.
He didn't understand it, but as long as it was useful, that was fine. He practiced it in a daze for an hour until his head started to throb before he stopped.
When I opened my eyes again, the world seemed brighter, though I don't know if it was just my imagination.
After a thorough examination, apart from his sharp hearing and clear vision, he seemed to be no different.
"Perhaps it's still too early."
Mo Jingxian felt that this must be the case, as Long Yunzhi had also cultivated for more than ten years to achieve this level of accomplishment.
But what he lacks is time. Fortunately, there are no side effects, so it's better than nothing.
Pulling his thoughts back to the ninjutsu, he turned his attention back to it.
A miniature water dragon appeared in his palm. He controlled the water dragon and made a few movements, which were much easier than before.
This is the benefit of developing "sexual" attributes: a comprehensive enhancement of mental strength.
Slowly add wind-style chakra, and when the two reach a balance, the ninjutsu shatters.
Mo Jingxian frowned in thought:
The fusion of Feng Shui attributes into Ice Release is correct.
As for the reason why the ninjutsu shattered...
