I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 567 Seal
Jiang Xinyu watched Wang Lan, who was sitting cross-legged, without blinking, her eyes brimming with curiosity. Suddenly, Wang Lan’s hands danced in the air, conjuring a bright wheel in front of him, and he brought his palms together in front of his chest to form a seal.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha—"
A Swastika Gold Seal instantly appeared in front of Wang Lan’s chest, slowly rotating. In an instant, myriad beams of golden light burst from Wang Lan, piercing through the walls and lighting up the entire hotel.
Yu Ruoyun, bored and switching through television channels next door, felt incredibly restless due to the anxiety of having questions that remained unanswered.
All of a sudden, myriad beams of golden light shone through the walls and engulfed Yu Ruoyun. She quickly stood up, opened her door, and went next door.
"Xinyu, Wang Lan, are you guys okay?"
With a click, the door to the room opened, and Jiang Xinyu gestured for silence to Yu Ruoyun, inviting her into the room. The first thing Yu Ruoyun saw was Wang Lan sitting cross-legged like an old monk in meditation.
As Wang Lan continuously improved the skill level of the Diamond Seal, the golden light surrounding him grew increasingly brighter and dazzling. It not only disturbed the Cloud Sea Tianjian Bureau on duty at the hotel but also alarmed the passersby and the citizens of Kunyu City.
After a long while, the sky-full of golden light was absorbed into Wang Lan’s body, and he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of ecstasy in their depths.
"What a formidable Diamond Seal, Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel."
"Diamond Seal?" Yu Ruoyun was slightly taken aback before excitement spread across her face. "You’ve mastered the Diamond Seal? Did you find the Diamond Seal last night? How did you find it? Where did you go last night?"
"Last night, Wang Lan suddenly recalled the maxim left by the old monk we saw at Niehua Temple and successfully deciphered that the maxim actually concealed the true location of Niehua Temple. The real Niehua Temple isn’t the one we found but the place where the Evil spirit broke free and also where Yan Tong and the others mistakenly entered. Last night, Wang Lan and I went to the Cloud Sea space and managed to find the relic suppressing the Evil spirit. We found not only the Diamond Seal but also a large number of Buddha Sect Sealing Methods. Now with the techniques of the White Lotus Sect and Niehua Temple in our possession, in a few decades, the power of the human race’s Star Martial Warriors is bound to leap forward."
Hearing Jiang Xinyu’s explanation, Yu Ruoyun suppressed her excitement.
"You should have taken me with you last night."
"If the Evil spirit attacked, you would have needed to help Emperor Bai fend off the enemy."
"Now that you have the Diamond Seal, how long will it take you to master it?" Yu Ruoyun asked, her expression serious.
"Ruoyun, why ask such a question? Don’t you know I always learn things quickly?"
"Even if you’re fast, you can’t have learned it by now, right? That’s the top-tier sealing Star Martial Skill of Buddhism."
"I’ve actually got it down..." Wang Lan said as he stood up and stretched.
"???"
"So... what do we do now?"
"We’ll set up the Sky Net again and battle the Evil spirit once more. Without its fleshly body, it should be easier than yesterday. As soon as it shows up, I’ll seal it."
"The Evil spirit isn’t foolish, right?" Yu Ruoyun shook her head. "After such a heavy blow yesterday, it should recuperate for some time. Who knows when it will next appear."
"Then let’s force it to appear. Its body is now in our hands; we’ll mess with its body."
Yu Ruoyun furrowed her brow in thought. "Alright, I’ll discuss it with Lord Emperor Bai and go together."
"No need. After yesterday’s big battle, I haven’t slept all night. I need to catch up on sleep and be well-rested to seal the Evil spirit in the best condition..."
Hearing Wang Lan speak of yesterday’s great battle, Yu Ruoyun’s mind, for some reason, conjured up inappropriate images. Her cheeks flushed slightly. She shot Wang Lan an exasperated look, then turned and left. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Xinyu, that last look in Ruoyun’s eyes... did you catch that?"
"No! Maybe she’s dissatisfied with you being a hands-off manager?"
That day, the Tianjian Bureau was busy, but the hustle was carried out quietly behind the scenes. This time, with the initiative in their hands, the Tianjian Bureau would select the location for the showdown.
Although Cloud Sea Province was vast, its population was mostly concentrated in the plains. Over eighty percent of the province consisted of sparsely populated mountains and dense forests, so choosing an uninhabited area for the final battle wasn’t difficult.
As the lights came on at dusk, Wang Lan and Jiang Xinyu awoke leisurely. Looking at the time by their side, it was just 5:30 in the afternoon.
The two smiled at each other, sat up, and stretched. After getting out of bed, freshening up, and getting dressed, it was already six o’clock. Downstairs, Yu Ruoyun was waiting for Wang Lan on a sofa in the hotel lobby, glancing at her watch from time to time.
"You’ve finally woken up."
"Sorry, we slept like logs. Is everything ready on your end?"
"All set. Emperor Bai and all the experts are lying in wait at every corner—east, south, west, and north. This time, we’ve gathered eight Titled Strongmen and fifty Star Sea realm masters. It’s the strongest force Cloud Sea can mobilize."
"Good, let’s go straight there. We need a swift and decisive battle."
Soaring through the skies, they arrived at their target location half an hour later. The Evil spirit’s flesh was loaded onto a giant heavy truck. The container it was stored in was fully welded shut with alloy steel plates, impervious even to armor-piercing rounds.
Upon the arrival of Wang Lan’s trio, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Their fear was that the Evil spirit would arrive before them and snatch away the body, which would have posed a significant problem.
They opened the container and extracted a huge piece of amber, three meters tall, from inside.
"Wang Lan, should we slice it open?" Emperor Bai asked softly.
"No need, let’s just set it on fire directly!" Wang Lan said, raising his hand. A blast of Samadhi True Fire flared up from his palm. With a gentle flick of his hand, the Samadhi True Fire instantly clung to the amber.
Samadhi True Fire could scorch everything in the world. The Evil spirit might have an Undying Body, but this ability to rewrite death was contained in the Evil spirit’s Primordial Spirit. In other words, wherever the Evil spirit’s true body was, that’s where its power lay.
What lay before them was merely the Evil spirit’s flesh, which required the merging of its Primordial Spirit with the flesh for it to be resurrected. Being just a shell, it was indeed possible for it to be turned to ashes by the Samadhi True Fire.
Although Wang Lan could have also used the Judgment of Light purification, he needed to preserve enough Star Power to perform the Diamond Seal.
The Samadhi True Fire quickly spread across the entire piece of amber, turning it into a giant fireball. The amber melted, and in a blink of an eye, the fire reached the Evil spirit’s flesh. The Evil spirit’s flesh instinctively resisted the scorching Samadhi True Fire; the ball of flesh suddenly began to expand and contract continuously, sending out ripples to repel the Samadhi True Fire. Meanwhile, the Samadhi True Fire relentlessly corroded the flesh ball. This tug-of-war made the surrounding onlookers extremely nervous.
"AAAH—"
In an unknown place, the Evil spirit’s Primordial Spirit let out a scream. After the scream, the Evil spirit abruptly lifted its head; its face, covered in black patterns, twisted in horror and ferocity.
"You... what have you done to my flesh?" the Evil spirit cursed, and with a shimmer, it disappeared.
Meanwhile, Wang Lan’s Samadhi True Fire was still burning fiercely, the Evil spirit’s flesh writhing nonstop within the blazing inferno.
All of a sudden, a bone-chilling wind swept through, and dark clouds covered the sky nearly instantaneously. Sensing the abrupt change in temperature, everyone became vigilant. Only Wang Lan looked confident of his victory.
"You bastards... what are you doing?" a furious roar thundered. Above them, a giant black face hovered in the sky like a kite.
"Evil spirit, you’re here just in time to witness your own cremation. Since you no longer need your flesh, let’s just incinerate it," Wang Lan replied.
"Wang Lan, you bastard! Do you really think you beat me yesterday? I just didn’t want to exhaust my soul energy and give the Demon Clan an advantage for nothing. Since you’re so keen on dying, I’ll kill you today—" the Evil spirit said. With that, the face in the sky darted down towards the flesh burning in the Samadhi True Fire. As long as it could merge with its flesh, no seal and no Five Emperors would be able to trample over it.
"Stop him!" Emperor Bai shouted. The experts around them instantly gathered to protect the Evil spirit’s flesh. A group of Star Martial Warriors, experts in sealing barriers, synchronized their Star Power to cast a Star Power Seal.
"BOOM—"
The Evil spirit struck the barrier violently, shattering it instantly into a shower of starlight. Unfazed, it headed straight for the flesh. As it looked at the rolling flesh, which continued to resist the flames, the Evil spirit felt both elation and heartache.
We’ve been apart for too long; I’ve almost forgotten what I originally looked like.
Suddenly, Wang Lan raised his hand and struck towards the Evil spirit in the sky. A huge Swastika Gold Seal flew from his palm, hitting the Evil spirit squarely in the face.
The Evil spirit’s Primordial Spirit was frozen in the air, unable to move. At that moment, it was utterly perplexed, but within an instant, it recognized the sensation—how familiar!
"Diamond Seal, Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel—"
Wang Lan’s body radiated a brilliant array of light, his hands moving, and a shadow with a thousand arms suddenly appeared behind him. Golden light flickered on those thousand arms. In an instant, golden light filled the sky and the earth.
The Evil spirit, having just broken free from the Swastika Gold Seal’s paralysis, desperately tried to escape. However, it found that the sky and earth were now covered with Swastika Gold Seals. Countless seals fluttered throughout the world, painting an elaborate tapestry in all directions.
This scene was none other than the Diamond Seal Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel.
Three thousand years ago, it was with this technique that Buddha Shakyamuni sealed it. The feeling of helplessness from that time had tormented the Evil spirit for three thousand years. During that time, it had pondered endlessly on how to break this seal, only to conclude that it was impossible.
"Wang Lan, I surrender! I beg for mercy! Don’t seal me! I was wrong..." it pleaded.
"This has nothing to do with whether you were right or wrong," Wang Lan said sternly.
"Wang Lan, we could join forces! We could cooperate!" the Evil spirit cried out. "I am just as vicious in the Demon Clan; they would rather see me dead. We are natural allies! I could ally with you to fight against the Demon Clan!"
"That’s a good idea. But weren’t you just as vicious among my human race? Don’t worry. The Demon Clan might not be able to kill you because they are foolish, but I assure you, I have a hundred ways to leave you without a place to be buried. Seal!"
"AAAH—"
As Wang Lan’s Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel contracted, the Evil spirit’s power of resistance also rapidly diminished. The Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel sealed everything—its sensation of time, sense of space, and more. To the entire world, the Evil spirit had become a frozen symbol.
But merely sealing the Evil spirit was not enough; a container was needed to hold the seal.
"Xinyu."
"Coming!" Jiang Xinyu responded, retrieving another box. She took out the Sharira of Jia Nan and tossed it towards Wang Lan. Wang Lan manipulated the Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel and smashed it ferociously into the Sharira of Jia Nan.
