No one would have thought that Qin Shi would make a breakthrough under such circumstances. Even he himself did not expect it. When the Soul Tribulation fell from his consciousness, he could not help but be stunned.
Then, he felt the deep Soul Imprint between his eyebrows and the comfortable feeling that covered his entire body. He could not help but ponder.
"Is this the Nine Incantations?"
The Nine Incantations Charm Magician was different from the previous eight incantations. Qin Shi could feel that the power of the Nine Incantations seemed to be a combination of the previous eight incantations. Both his consciousness and perceptive abilities had increased by several times.
Most importantly, his control of Telekinesis had reached the Imperceptible Realm. Not only could he see through human nature, but he could also clearly see the Spiritual Energy in the air, which was so subtle that it could not be seen with the naked eye.
This way, it would be of great help to his spiritual power cultivation in the future.
"The Nine Incantations is indeed the dividing line for Charm Magicians. Beyond that is the Incantation Realm."
The Clay Bodhisattva smiled in relief. Qin Shi nodded when he heard this. Although it was the first time he had heard of the Incantation Realm, according to the theory of the relative realms of spiritual power and soul power, it should be equivalent to the Heaven's Cage Realm.
"Alright, from the looks of it, you should have mastered the ninth level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture, right?"
After a brief conversation, the Clay Bodhisattva did not ask much after learning that Qin Shi had made a breakthrough. It only looked at Qin Shi's aura and could not help but ask.
Qin Shi lowered his head and fell silent for a while. He recalled his previous exploration of the spiritual power. Just as the Clay Bodhisattva had said, he had already mastered the ninth level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture: Xuantian Break the Way. However, he had not had the time to try it.
Seeing through Qin Shi's thoughts, the Clay Bodhisattva laughed. "Don't be anxious. There will be many opportunities for you to try in the future. You have to find your shortcomings in practice. Since you have already mastered the Xuantian Holy Scripture and reached the ninth level of the Soul Incantation, I have not broken my promise to the Human Emperor. You can leave now."
"Leave?" Qin Shi was stunned. He immediately became anxious. "What about you, Senior?"
"Me?"
The Clay Bodhisattva smiled with a pale face. He sighed and raised his head, "I've been waiting here for ten thousand years. It's time for me to meet up with my old friends."
"Rendezvous?" Qin Shi didn't understand at first. He paused for a moment before he was shocked. "Senior, you mean …"
The Clay Bodhisattva nodded his head with a smile. He did not show the slightest bit of sadness at the parting of life and death. As if he had seen through Qin Shi's sadness, he smiled gently and said, "Little fellow, don't be like this. Life is full of bitterness and there is no way to avoid it. My soul has been imprisoned and I have already escaped the cycle of reincarnation for ten thousand years. It's time to follow the will of heaven. You just have to remember to help me find out the truth about the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation. This has been my regret and wish for ten thousand years.
Clenching his fists tightly, Qin Shi understood what the Clay Bodhisattva was saying. However, every time he encountered such a situation, he couldn't help but be absent-minded.
Finally, he nodded firmly. "I will."
"Haha, in addition, there are a few things that I need to tell you. They are also things that the Human Emperor asked me to tell you back then."
The Clay Bodhisattva laughed at first, then his expression turned solemn. In the next second, the entire golden space became quiet. He said, "Be careful of the Puppet Group. You must not let Zhe Tian resurrect. Now that the Puppet Group has begun to recall the three spiritual and seven physical souls, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop them with your current strength. However, even if the Puppet Group gathers all the three spiritual and seven physical souls, Zhe Tian will need to perform a great sacrifice if he wants to resurrect. At that time, no matter what, you must not let the Puppet Group find the sacrifice. You must stop them!"
"The sacrifice for the Shrouding Sky Great Sacrifice?"
Qin Shi memorized it with rapt attention. Then, a murderous look flashed in his eyes. "Yes, even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't let them get what they want!"
"Oh?"
The Clay Bodhisattva was stunned. Then, he searched Qin Shi's sea of consciousness with a few divine thoughts. He could not help but laugh. "So, you have also suffered a lot from the Puppet Group. You are in the same boat as your ancestors."
"However, you have good perseverance and you also have the Mandate of Heaven. There shouldn't be too much of a problem. I can also explain it to your ancestors." As the Clay Bodhisattva stroked his beard, the surrounding golden space began to gradually collapse.
The more the golden light faded, the tighter Qin Shi clenched his fists. His nails dug deep into the flesh of his palms and blood flowed out. However, he knew that he was powerless to change anything. He could only watch silently.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the blood on his palms dripped down and landed in the center of the golden light circle. An extremely mysterious buzzing sound, like the sound of Sanskrit, rushed into the ears of Qin Shi and the Clay Bodhisattva at the same time.
Then, the collapsing space suddenly stiffened, as if it had been frozen from the outside world. Even the Clay Bodhisattva could not help but be shocked. He stared at Qin Shi with wide eyes.
Qin Shi frowned. For a moment, he did not understand. However, a sudden sharp pain shot through his mind, causing his entire body to tremble. Immediately, he looked into his sea of consciousness and saw that the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation in the center was moving on its own. It actually floated out of his sea of consciousness and floated into the air.
"This, this is the origin power of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation?"
When the Clay Bodhisattva felt the power, the peace that he had cultivated for thousands of years was broken. His face was filled with shock and he exclaimed piously.
Qin Shi asked in confusion, "Senior, what is this?"
Hearing this, the Clay Bodhisattva could not help but laugh bitterly. "Haha, I never thought that you would have such ability and luck …" He let out a long sigh and explained, "This power is the origin power in the deepest part of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation. Back then, I used this origin power to create the Xuantian Holy Scripture."
"You used this origin power to create the Xuantian Holy Scripture?" Qin Shi was stunned.
The Clay Bodhisattva nodded helplessly. "Yes. Moreover, to tell you the truth, the Xuantian Holy Scripture originally did not have nine levels. There should have been ten levels. However, when I opened up to the ninth level, the final origin power in the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation was something that I could not control no matter how hard I tried. I never thought that it would appear in your hands now."
At this point, the Clay Bodhisattva laughed self-deprecatingly. "This is destiny."
"Ten levels …!"
For a moment, the huge amount of information made it difficult for Qin Shi to digest.
However, before he could regain his senses, the Clay Bodhisattva's faded soul body suddenly became clearer. His old eyes were slightly excited as he said to Qin Shi, "Little fellow, you cannot delay this. This origin power is an opportunity of heaven and earth. If you miss it, who knows when you will have to wait for the next time. I will use the last of my strength to help you open up the last level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture."
"The last level?"
Qin Shi's heart beat wildly. This was something that he had never imagined. However, the seriousness of the matter did not allow him to think too much. A concentrated golden soul power rose from below. The Clay Bodhisattva used his withered hands to support the entire space, causing Qin Shi to float in the center of the space.
At this moment, Qin Shi was like the center of heaven and earth. Immediately, an endless, vast power surged into his consciousness from the space.
In an instant, his consciousness was occupied by this external power. The target of this power was very unified, which was the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation in the center.
The origin power of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation was like the stars in the night sky. It was very bright in the golden light and constantly shone. The power of the Clay Bodhisattva moved closer to it and forcefully separated the power.
Then, the small light ball of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation flew out and swam in the palm of the Clay Bodhisattva. The Clay Bodhisattva took a deep breath. It was obvious that he was a little emotional. His withered hands were trembling non-stop.
"I didn't expect this. I really didn't expect that after 10,000 years, I would still be lucky enough to leave behind such a martial art in this world."
The origin power of the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation had already begun to evolve. Qin Shi looked down from his consciousness. Just looking at the constantly exploding and regenerating power made his heart beat wildly. Every evolution was so mysterious and magical. It was an existence that he had never seen before.
Even Kowloon's Hidden Abyss and the Mysterious Sky Breaker that he had just mastered did not have this kind of power.
"Buzz!"
The evolution was about to reach its climax. The old eyes of the Clay Bodhisattva became clear. However, at the last critical moment, he finally let out a long sigh and clenched his withered hands tightly.
In an instant, an extremely powerful force exploded in Qin Shi's consciousness. This caused Qin Shi to be completely shocked. Even though he was in his own consciousness, the force had completely suppressed the aura of his original owner.
"What a terrifying power …!"
He retreated a hundred meters in shock. When everything calmed down once again, his eyes suddenly narrowed. The Clay Bodhisattva's soul had already disappeared. It had completely fused with the small ball of light in the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation.
"Senior!"
He cried out involuntarily. Soon after, he charged forward and tried to extend his hand to stop it.
However, it was too late. By the time he approached, the Clay Bodhisattva's soul had already fused with the Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation. The Clay Bodhisattva's hoarse and pale laughter reverberated in his empty consciousness.
"Little fellow, I've said it before. Everyone has their own destiny, and this is my destiny. To be able to complete the greatest masterpiece of my life at the end of my life is a great blessing to me."
"The tenth level of the Mysterious Heaven Holy Scriptures has finally been completed after 10,000 years. I no longer have any regrets.
"It's a pity that … I can't personally use it, so I can only leave it for you to slowly perfect.
"Of course, this power is something that you can't control right now. Don't use the tenth level of the Mysterious Heaven Holy Scriptures before you've reached the Soul Realm. Otherwise, you'll suffer a backlash and your soul will scatter!
"Be careful, be careful!"
The coarse laughter that contained 10,000 years of experience finally faded from Qin Shi's ears, leaving Qin Shi alone in his consciousness.
He raised his head indifferently. The Ancient Mysterious Heaven Formation had already returned to its usual silence. However, a row of golden, ancient Sanskrit words were extremely dazzling in the sky above the eye of the formation.
