Chapter 138: The Pupil of Stone
In the Shi Clan, the unsealing of the Stone Pupil is an extremely important and dangerous matter, and it needs at least three experienced elders to guard it.
Moreover, the stone cultivator who unlocked the pupil of the stone must survive the first fall before he has enough strength to bear the inhuman pain.
Pain, in fact, can end at any time, as long as you open your eyes, all the pain will disappear in an instant, but then, the degree of unsealing of the stone pupil will also be frozen immediately, and it will never change.
This is the only opportunity in Shi Xiu's life, and this opportunity has nothing to do with the level of cultivation, but is determined by the length of patience, which also leads to many Shi Xiu, when their cultivation reaches an extremely high level, they will regret and regret that they did not continue to persevere.
Because no matter how high their cultivation level is in the future, the potential of this stone pupil will never be able to increase by a single bit.
Every day represents the depth of unsealing, and generally speaking, most stone cultivation can only last for a few hours.
Once the time of unsealing reaches twelve hours, that is, a whole day, the power of the stone pupil obtained by this person is very amazing, and ordinary stone cultivation is far beyond the reach, and its potential to step into advanced cultivation is also higher than that of ordinary stone cultivation.
Those who reach two days will attract the attention of the high-level of the Shi clan and receive a good secret treasure, and if they reach three days, there will be no one in a thousand, and after this person opens his eyes, he will be immediately sent to the ancestral temple to receive the gift of the stone ancestor.
The people who were able to survive to four days were only one hundred and fifty-nine in the records of the countless thousands of years of inheritance of the Shi Clan.
And those who lasted until five days were only 37 people.
Most of these people's names are engraved on the tablets in the ancestral temple, and these people basically returned after turning into meteorites and staying away from the Shi clan for many years, and became famous people in the Shi clan at that time.
The people who spent the whole six days, there is no record in the Shi Clan, it is obviously an extremely confidential matter, this is the top strength of the Shi Clan, it is not surprising that it is not secret, but with a little speculation, it can be concluded that the Shi Xiu who has reached this level will never exceed the number of two palms, and the names of these people have been completely covered up by the Shi Clan and disappeared in the long river of history.
These recorded lists are actually incomplete, in addition to where the Shi clan is located, there are also those outliers of stone cultivation, known as lonely cultivators, these stone cultivators will not leave traces when they unseal the pupil of the stone, and the current Han Shi is like this.
Those who can go to the seventh day, among the stone clan, one is certain, and the other is hearsay.
The one that is determined is Shi Zu, there is a record in the Shi Clan, after Shi Zu reached the peak of cultivation, in the battle between the Shi Clan and a mysterious clan outside the realm, he once used his full strength to exert the Pupil of Shi.
As soon as this pupil opened, the world was destroyed.
Shi Zu's gaze contains the power of petrifying all things, and everywhere he goes, everything is stone, and countless foreign mysterious monks, in the battle, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into stone statues and fell to the earth, and even the breath exhaled by these monks before they died also turned into rubble and fell with the stone statues.
There are also some people who are quite advanced in cultivation, intending to give up their physical bodies, tear open the void at an extremely fast speed, and escape with the help of the Yuan Shen, but at the moment when Shi Zu's pupils swept in, even the torn void crack turned into stone.
The primordial spirits of these people who fled trembled, immediately made a clicking sound, and from the outside in, they turned into a human-shaped stone sculpture, and in the end they still could not escape death.
In this battle, only a few people with extremely high cultivation, with the help of powerful magic weapons, were able to retreat and escape with their lives.
But these people were not unscathed, the petrified power turned part of their bodies into stone permanently, this kind of change, including the original spirit and soul, that is, this person will not be able to obtain a new body by taking it for the rest of his life.
Taking a step back, even if it is taken away, the same position is still stony.
The Stone Pupil Technique is too powerful to be used at any time, and legend has it that it takes a great deal to open the ultimate Stone Pupil, and no one knows this price until it is opened, even if it has the Stone Pupil, it can only rely on the induction in the dark to get a rough prediction.
According to legend, in Shi Zu's life, the number of times he opened the pupil of Shi was only seven times.
After this battle, Shi Zu was seriously injured and retreated for many years, but the prestige of Shi Zhitong has resounded all over the world, and in the years when Shi Zu guarded the Shi Clan, there was no large-scale war, until many years after its mysterious disappearance, after the Shi Clan showed signs of decay, there was another war.
The other person is a legend, no one knows whether it is true or not, and even the specific time is vague.
Legend has it that this person's talent is never inferior to Shi Zu, but he finally chose to leave, and all the circumstances of this person have become a mystery and a taboo to talk about, and many years later, this matter has become more and more mysterious, and finally became a legend.
There is only one thing that is certain about this person, that is, the potential of Shi Zhitong, this person is not under Shi Zu, but the power of Pupil is different from Shi Zu, not only the effect of destruction and petrification.
From the beginning of the pain all over his body, to now, four days have passed, and the pain has not decreased but increased, and in this increasingly intense pain, Han Shi has gradually lost control of his physical body.
Gradually, even consciousness faded into a blur, leaving only one thought...... Never give up.
If there is an ancient stone cultivator with advanced cultivation at this moment, he will definitely be dumbfounded, and then his eyes will reveal the essence of the sky, Han Shi's move can be described as bold, with the level of bluestone cultivation, he dares to unseal the pupil of the stone without anyone to protect the law.
On the other hand, it is extremely amazing, but just the bluestone cultivation can unlock the pupil of the stone, which is something that the stone clan has not seen for countless thousands of years, but at this time, it appeared on a green-shirted monk who did not look amazing.
At this moment, if that black dragon sends a blow towards Han Shi, no matter how heavy it is, as long as it touches Han Shi's body, it will immediately cause Han Shi's soul to be shattered and completely destroyed, and even the physical body will turn into dust and dissipate between heaven and earth, and it will never be able to enter reincarnation.
Maybe after many years, there will be a monk named Han Shi, even if he still has the same appearance, but that is by no means the current Han Shi, and it will never be.
There was a hint of confusion in the black dragon's eyes, and there was a burst of kindness from the body of this green-shirted monk.
This person's breath subsided sharply, almost to the edge of shattering, but still struggling, the black dragon subconsciously had a desire to protect this person, under the dragon body swimming, from the hundred-zhang high palace upstream, surrounded Han Shi, coiled up a dragon array, completely isolated Han Shi from the outside world, even the wind could not enter.
This kind of idea of protection is very rare in the black dragon's life, and even it feels a little strange, this is an instinct, and all this is precisely because of the aura emanating from this person.
If Han Shi is still awake and thinks about it for a while, he will know the answer, his Yuan Shen has cut off contact with the outside world under extreme pain, which naturally includes storage bags.
Losing the sealed storage bag, the breath of the things in it will leak out slightly, and the huge cobblestone is an egg with dragon blood, which is sealed in it and cannot hatch, and what makes the black dragon feel friendly is the breath of cobblestone, not Han Shi.
It's just that by mistake, the black dragon guarding the round stone is equivalent to guarding Han Shi, even if the black-faced man appears at this moment, it is helpless, in the underworld, the black dragon and Han Shi have formed this good fate, and at some point in the future, Han Shi will also return this good fate.
If Han Shi hadn't been born in Hanjia Village, he wouldn't have met Xuanyuan Wen, and he wouldn't have the idea of cultivating.
If you don't enter the Xuanyang Gate, you won't be teleported to the Seven Dragons Prison.
If it is not gray stone, it will not become stone repair.
If you don't become the young master of the clan, you won't be an enemy of the whitefriar, and you won't get the huge cobblestone.
So today, there will not be a dragon in the face of Han Shi, choosing to guard, rather than destroying, I have to say that in this world, between chance and fate, it is not simple to say clearly.
At this moment, Han Shi's body is guarded, but his mind can only rely on himself.
In a trance, Han Shi seemed to return to his childhood, at that time, his heart was very simple, at that time, in his world, there was only his father and mother, at that time, he had not met Mr. Xuanyuan, at that time, he did not have a name.
At that time, in a dream, he didn't know...... Who am I.
Looking at the candle flame in his hand, and then at the boundless darkness in front of him, there was a trace of horror in Han Shi's eyes.
I don't know when, he came here, feeling the cold in the wind, Han Shi couldn't help but shiver.
The candle flame in his hand flickered on and off, and there were signs of extinguishment, Han Shi hurriedly used his body to protect the candle flame, so that the candle flame gradually stabilized, looking at the shadow of the candlelight projected on the ground, obliquely, Han Shi's eyes were bitter, this candle is not long, and it can be held with one hand.
The candle flame kept burning, the candle light was not strong, it could only illuminate a small place in front of him, in this boundless darkness, it could not illuminate his way forward, but in any case, it was better to go forward than to stay where he was and wait for death.
Not knowing where he was, Han Shi suddenly felt extremely sad, and his thoughts about his father and mother filled his heart.
On the immature face, in those originally clear eyes, there was a sense of vicissitudes, Han Shi stopped, rubbed his sore shoulder, changed the candle flame to his right hand, carefully held it, and walked forward.
A little candle flame, accompanied by a child, gradually melted into this boundless darkness.
