Chapter 1273 Sacred Wax Refining the God, Nan Jun Intervenes
For the next two days, Gu Xiu settled down in Si Huo City.
In the past two days, besides continuing to make talismans, he spent the rest of his time researching sacred wax stones.
This special stone is indeed very special. There are many rare and precious natural treasures in the world. Whether it is the vast universe or the Three Realms Sea, there are rare and precious natural treasures belonging to their respective environments, but stones like the Holy Wax Stone are extremely rare.
Difficult to see through, impossible to understand.
However, its function is directly related to the core of the Holy Light, which is what Gu Xiu is most concerned about.
According to the laws of the world, there are inherent rules: where there is yin, there is yang; where there is light, there is darkness; and all things in the world strive for balance.
The Three Enclosures Sea of Sin is a world that has separated from the vast universe. Even if it is a cage in itself, since it can become an independent realm, it cannot be a dead end all the time; there must be a way out.
The path to survival is clearly the core of the Holy Light.
Thinking deeper, since the Silent Venerable exists in the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin, does that mean that the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin also contains a way to restrain the Silent Venerable? Gu Xiu suspects that the most important thing might be the Holy Light Core.
However, the core of the Holy Light is difficult to examine and observe in detail.
After all, there are only twelve such groups in the entire Ziwei Enclosure, and it is usually difficult to have the opportunity to come into contact with them. Even Gu Xiu, the core of the Holy Light in Wuwei City, has come into contact with them, but he cannot make any more attempts.
It wasn't that Duke Wuwei didn't trust him, but rather that the core of the Holy Light in Wuwei City was like an old man in his twilight years, no longer able to withstand the slightest storm.
But holy wax is different.
This stone is clearly directly related to the core of the Holy Light. Regardless of whether the connection is good or bad, since the connection exists and it can affect the core of the Holy Light, it might be possible to find a breakthrough.
Therefore, what Gu Xiu most wanted to do was to uncover the secrets of the sacred wax stone.
He tried many methods.
Spiritual energy, immortal power, divine soul, profound power...
Talismans, weapon crafting, formations...
Slashing, burning, flooding, freezing...
He tried almost every method he could think of, but in the end, he found that everything had to come back to its essence.
Use the power of your soul to investigate!
This method has actually been overturned by countless people long ago, because the paraffin skin of the sacred wax stone is too special, and the soul cannot explore it at all, as it will be directly isolated by the paraffin skin.
Gu Xiu initially thought the same way, so he gave up after a few attempts.
But when he tried again, Gu Xiu discovered...
The soul is actually the most correct path; the only things to pay attention to are two points.
First, one's spirit must be strong enough.
This power is not the kind of power that can be achieved by ordinary means. Even though Gu Xiu's spiritual sea of consciousness is strong enough, it still seems to be inadequate and not enough when facing the Holy Wax Stone.
Fortunately, he possessed profound energy.
Mystic power can combine the three forces into one, but it can also convert all the forces into any one of the three. This means that Gu Xiu can even convert all his spiritual energy and immortal power into divine soul power!
To put it bluntly, among all the people Gu Xiu has met, there is not a single person whose soul power is stronger than his. Even the strongest person's soul power would not exceed 30% of Gu Xiu's!
Such powerful spiritual energy gave Gu Xiu the means to explore the Sacred Wax Stone.
But simply having a strong spirit is not enough; a second point is also needed.
The application of divine soul power!
Speaking of which, Gu Xiu's spiritual power was stronger than that of ordinary people all the way through his journey, but his use of spiritual power was not actually that profound. Even after stepping into the Nascent Soul realm, his use of spiritual sense seemed to have made leaps and bounds.
But in reality...
Gu Xiu understood that his use of divine soul power was like having just learned to make fire and escaped the primitive life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
There was no meticulous manipulation involved; it relied entirely on the powerful support of the soul.
This method is perfectly adequate against ordinary enemies. However, its shortcomings become apparent when facing the Holy Wax Stone.
Holy wax is very fragile and difficult to examine.
If he uses too little spiritual power, he won't be able to break through the paraffin skin; but if he uses too much, he can easily break through it. This means he needs to find a balance and adjust the amount of spiritual power he uses each time, depending on the size and shape of the sacred wax stone.
Moreover, simply having enough quantity is not enough.
It also requires skill.
Gu Xiu's spiritual power had improved somewhat; he was able to expand his spiritual power, using his divine sense to explore his surroundings, uncover secrets, and even appraise some items. In terms of attack, he would condense his spiritual power into a cone to pierce the opponent's spiritual soul.
But this time, after two days of research, Gu Xiu discovered another method.
网！
He transformed his divine soul power into a net that was just big enough to envelop the sacred wax stone, and then used the expansion and contraction of this net to cause subtle changes in the sacred wax stone.
And during these subtle changes, extremely fine particles are gathered and slowly penetrated along the tiny pores that appear when the holy wax stone changes.
The explanation is rather complex; if we were to use an analogy, it would be somewhat similar to the permeation of oil. Through continuous and meticulous kneading, one can avoid breaking the sacred wax stone while allowing divine consciousness to slowly penetrate its interior.
This process is difficult.
Gu Xiu, who had been trying for at least two days, had only managed to penetrate a small part of the power, and was still far from being able to access the power inside the Holy Wax Stone.
But this is already a major discovery.
more importantly.
Because divine sense could slowly penetrate into the sacred wax stone, Gu Xiu confirmed Shi Siling's previous statement.
He did indeed sense a constantly shifting power within the sacred wax stone.
Half destruction, half life.
Yin and Yang alternate, creating an endless cycle of life.
After trying again for a while, Gu Xiu withdrew his divine soul power and put down the sacred wax stone in his hand. His divine soul power was now almost infinite, but constantly using it, and using it in such a meticulous manner, would make him feel tired and he needed to rest.
This is actually a method of training the spirit, and its effects are remarkable.
Gu Xiu could feel that he was able to hold on for longer and longer, and he was even becoming more and more adept at using his spiritual power.
If this continues, his ability to utilize the power of his soul will become even stronger.
As soon as Gu Xiu put down the sacred wax stone, Sui Xing asked impatiently, "Gu boy, why are you just sitting there? Aren't you in any hurry at all?"
"What's the rush?" Gu Xiu asked with a smile.
“Lord Si Huo!” Sui Xing reminded, “It’s been two days already. Didn’t you already agree on their relocation with Lord Si Huo? But there’s still no movement. Logically speaking, the first batch of people should have already prepared to leave the city.”
Gu Xiu wasn't in a hurry, and instead asked, "With your intelligence, what do you think is going on?"
Hearing Gu Xiu praise her intelligence, Sui Xing felt her back straighten up and said confidently, "Then it must be that Si Huo Gong changed her mind, and it must be that Nan Jun intervened. She wanted to relocate the people of Si Huo City, but she needed Nan Jun's approval. Now that there's been no movement, it must be that Nan Jun wouldn't allow it!"
"Then tell me again, since Lord Nan won't allow it, what should we do?" Gu Xiu asked again.
This time, however, Suixing was a little worried.
There's nothing it can do.
Nan Jun is powerful and is the monarch to whom Si Huo City is loyal. In fact, Nan Jun holds most of the power in Si Huo City. If he doesn't agree, Si Huo Gong probably can't do anything about it.
They could only watch helplessly.
"I think we definitely need to do something. We can't just keep waiting passively. This is such an urgent matter, we can't be indifferent to it."
There's really no need to rush.
"Isn't there any need to rush?"
“We’re still alive and well, and no one’s attacking us, which means there’s still hope. Instead of acting rashly and living in fear, we should wait patiently,” Gu Xiu said with a smile. Seeing that Sui Xing was still a little worried, he added:
"And didn't you say my power of good fortune is incredibly strong?"
"Since it's defying the heavens, if things really come to a standstill, we can simply storm into the Si Huo Palace and open all the Sacred Wax Stones."
"Whether the people in the city are relocated or not is not really important."
"Besides..."
At this point, Gu Xiu turned to look at the door:
"Actually, it won't take too long."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the courtyard gate was gently knocked on again.
