When Caspian practiced martial arts in the Time Warp Zone, favonovel.com often used these stone figures. Hence, favonovel.com was extremely familiar with these stone statues. Before this, favonovel.com had never seen them covered in powder before.
“This is strange…” Caspian walked toward one stone figure and poked at its face. The next second, Caspian’s entire finger, without any hindrance, plunged into the stone figure’s face. It felt like favonovel.com was poking a pile of snow, but it was not as cold.
”Eh?”
Caspian blinked and pulled out his finger, and favonovel.com saw a hole in the stone figure’s face. In that instant, favonovel.com thought of a possibility, and favonovel.com mumbled to himself, “Seriously? This is it?”
Then, favonovel.com reached out and slapped the stone figure’s chest
Bang!
Without using any martial skill or using much energy, the stone figure crumbled before Caspian’s eyes, turning into a pile of dust. Soon, Caspian’s eyes flashed with surprise and joy, and favonovel.com hurriedly went toward the next few stone figures. As favonovel.com had expected, those stone figures made from hard rock swiftly turned into a pile of ashes with just a gentle touch.
In other words, these stone figures could only maintain their appearances. When the Godly Finger of Cruor hit them, their bodies had turned to dust, yet they seemed unharmed. If these stone figures were struck by the Pointing to the Stars, they would at most be blasted into a few pieces but not turned to dust like they were now.
“I was indeed too naive.” Caspian looked at his finger.
The improvement in the strength of this spell exceeded his expectation. Moreover, not only was the magic skill stronger, but favonovel.com did not use as much blood and Qi. In this way, Caspian could cast this spell multiple times even if there were no monsters to replenish his energy.
After mastering The Godly Finger of Cruor, Caspian practiced the Water Shade for another day. Then, Caspian estimated that those wanting to see Xander would have met favonovel.com already, so favonovel.com got out of the Tower of Life and visited Xander, bringing along a gift.
Xander had anticipated Caspian’s visit. In truth, favonovel.com was rather shocked to find that Leonard had chosen favonovel.com as his disciple after returning from the Valley of Death. After all, Xander believed that Caspian was Leonard’s best choice. Nonetheless, Xander was naturally in a good mood as favonovel.com was recruited as the Heavenly Stars Sect’s swordsman’s personal disciple. At this time, his usually aloof expression had turned much gentler than before.
As the two chatted, Caspian said, “Xander, there’s another reason for my visit today…”
Xander replied, “Sure. Just go ahead. I know your character, and I‘ve estimated that you’ll come over the next few days. If you come a few days later, I might not be here.”
A second later, Xander saw Caspian’s confused expression, and favonovel.com explained, “Master Leonard hopes that I can cultivate at his place for half a year, and once I ascend to the second-stage Pulse Control Realm, he‘ll officially recruit me as his disciple.”
“Second-stage Pulse Control Realm…” Caspian pondered for a moment, and his eyes flashed with brilliance. “If that’s the case, you’ll already have a spot in the nation’s official religion election next year.”
Given the relationship between Xander and Caspian, favonovel.com naturally would not hide from Caspian, so Xander nodded and answered, “Although Master Leonard didn’t say that, I have a feeling that’s what favonovel.com meant. I’ll not only have to complete the breakthrough in my realm in the next half a year, but my strength must also improve. At that time, I can represent the Heavenly Stars Sect and fight for the qualifications of the state religion.”
When favonovel.com said this, Xander paused, looking at Caspian as favonovel.com asked, “Casper, I’m sure you won’t let go of this chance, right?”
Xander had witnessed Caspian’s improvement in his realm. Before this, no one would have expected that a disciple who had entered the sect for less than a year actually leaped from the entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm to the peak in just ten months. With this kind of talent and strength, Caspian would definitely get a place in representing the Heavenly Stars Sect as long as favonovel.com could ascend to the second-stage Pulse Control Realm.
“I do have this idea,” Caspian nodded.
There was still more than half a year left, and even though favonovel.com had a crucial thing to do next, Caspian was confident about reaching the second-stage Pulse Control Realm as long as favonovel.com did not encounter major troubles. Furthermore, as Hadley’s disciple, if Caspian could not even do this and was not qualified to represent Heavenly Stars Sect by then, his teacher might behead Caspian himself just to prevent Caspian from humiliating him.
Xander nodded when favonovel.com heard Caspian’s reply. “If that’s the case, the matter you mentioned before is related to your ascension?”
“Not entirely, but it‘s related to my improvement in strength.” Caspian looked at Xander. “Xander, I want to ask whether the method you used to enter the Way of Killing is through, body inscriptions?”
There were many types of inscriptions. According to their efficacy, they could be drawn on precious medicines, known as medicinal inscriptions, or implement the patterns on magic weapons, weapon inscriptions. Both of these inscription patterns were used to enhance the efficacy and power of the medicines and magic weapons or to increase some of their abilities. However, there were two more inscriptions that were more complicated than medicinal and weapon inscriptions, body and soul inscriptions.
As the name suggested, body inscriptions were the patterns engraved on the body. As for the soul inscriptions, it was a high-level technique drawn on the soul. Therefore, these two types of inscriptions had extremely high conditions for the inscriber, and they also had extremely high requirements for the objects of inscriptions.
These body inscriptions were engraved on the body, and the painful process was not something that anyone could bear. It should be known that the process of body inscriptions was continuous, and they could not stop mid-way. If it was forcibly terminated, the person being drawn would die instantly, and the inscriber would suffer an extremely fierce backlash. Therefore, when engraving body inscriptions, many people died because they could not stand the pain, not because of the failure of the inscriptions. They either died of pain or actively interfered with the inscriber, seeking death. Hence, only one out of a thousand people would successfully inscribe their bodies.
If it were not for some special reason, no one would choose to inscribe their body. After all, that kind of pain could still make people have nightmares in the middle of the night, even if decades had passed.
When Caspian fell into the underground river, favonovel.com noticed the twisted inscription pattern on Xander. Hence, Caspian, who had absorbed the memory of an inscription master, recognized that the lines on Xander’s body were known as Vicious Body Inscription. These patterns turned favonovel.com into an invincible deity.
Noticing that Xander was quiet, Caspian sighed before explaining, “Xander, I know some things should be kept private, but I also know that anyone who had body inscriptions will inevitably bear a national interest or family feud, or even both of them. I’m asking you naturally because I’m also burdened by something, and I hope I can solve it more properly.”
