X-Dragon Era

The universal principle of a seal is replication, just like a stamp. Apply the ink paste and, no matter how many times it's used, the impression remains the same, without any variation—like a photocopy.

The Kongtong Seal works the same way. However, what it replicates is not writing, but spirit and soul! Once the divine soul is engraved within, it can always be replicated. Even if the original divine soul ceases to exist, it can still be resurrected—it signifies immortality.

The spirit and soul can be annihilated. Situations like the complete destruction of the divine soul or disintegration of the spirit are still possible. However, when it comes to the true spirit, it is eternal and indestructible.

In fact, this true spirit, dating back to the era of chaos, has never increased or decreased by even a fraction. There exists no method to destroy it. Only the soul and spirit can be destroyed, which is why you often hear about the destruction of divine souls or the scattering of spirits, but when have you ever heard of someone's true spirit being obliterated?

Therefore, once the divine soul is engraved in the Kongtong Seal, even if the original divine soul is destroyed, it doesn't matter. With just a press of the seal, an identical divine soul can be replicated instantly, and after infusing the true spirit, one is resurrected in a moment.

It could be said that once the divine soul is engraved into the Kongtong Seal, it becomes indestructible. This is the law, and not even holy beings can break it.

Humans' memories reside within the soul. Once it disperses, it is no different from death. But once it's engraved into the Kongtong Seal and the true spirit returns, everything is restored to its original state.

However, a copy is still a copy, just like with the Investiture of the Gods, once engraved, it can never be changed. Even upon resurrection, one would immediately revert to the state at the time of the engraving.

For example, if one were of Gold rank at the time of death but only Bronze rank when engraved, then upon death and resurrection, their strength and realm would instantly fall back to Bronze rank. In such a state, strength cannot be improved. Meaning, the strength and realm after resurrection are exactly the same as at the time of engraving.

To change this state, one must engrave frequently, updating the engraving periodically. In this way, there will be no issue. Even if one dies, instant resurrection is possible, and after a period of recovery, one can reach the Pinnacle Realm again!

In a certain sense, the law within the Qiankun Seal is a divine soul printer, capable of printing out the stored divine soul imprint at any time. Add the true spirit, and the soul can be congealed—this is the greatest effect of the Innate Spiritual Treasures!

Legend has it that the Kongtong Seal is a Divine Artifact guarded by the Immortal Dragon Clan of the Kongtong Sea. They are called the Immortal Dragon Clan precisely because their divine souls have been engraved upon the Kongtong Seal. Should they perish, they would instantly resurrect. After a period of cultivation, they could return to battle, never truly dying—hence the name, Immortal Dragon Clan.

Of course, this legend is something Xin Yun heard of back on Earth. As far as the current Xin Yun is concerned, this so-called legend had not yet occurred; the Immortal Dragon Clan didn't exist. Perhaps... the Immortal Dragon Clan would be born from Xin Yun's hands.

Naturally, this is just the law of the Kongtong Seal. As an Innate Spiritual Treasure, each possesses its own laws. Besides the contained laws, each Spiritual Treasure has other marvelous uses, and the Kongtong Seal is no exception.

Since it is a seal, it can certainly be used to strike others. Not to mention Innate Spiritual Treasures; even a regular fist-sized Jade Seal could easily crack open a common man's skull. The Kongtong Seal is after all an Innate Spiritual Treasure; such an inherent ability is certainly not lacking.

However, using it to strike others is just an inherent ability, not the most formidable. The most powerful ability of the Kongtong Seal is to refine nine giant dragons into the Immortal Dragon, sealed within the nine dragon bodies coiling around the Kongtong Seal. Once released in battle, the might is incomparable, resembling the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover in its essence!

Engraving typically denotes permanence. No matter how many times it's used, the impression is always the same. In this regard, even the Innate Spiritual Treasure Kongtong Seal is no exception; at best, it simply pushes this engraving aspect to its limit.

Around this seal's handle, nine Jade Dragons are coiled. They are called 'jade' merely for their color. The stamp is made of neither gold nor iron nor copper, nor is it carved from any jade stone. It's a Treasure Seal formed from primordial chaos.

Within the nine dragons, nine dragon souls can be sealed. When fighting, these can be released to assist the seal master in attack, with power so astonishing.

It might seem incomprehensible to most, as if it holds no significance. However, that's not the case... What is engraved in these nine dragon seals are not only spirits but also that essence of the true spirit!

A soul without a spirit is useless. If a person loses the true spirit, they become vegetative, and the same goes for a dragon—it becomes a vegetative dragon, devoid of any consciousness or reaction. Even if it were slashed a thousand times, there would be no response. What then is the point of such an engraving?

These nine dragon seals engrave spirit, soul, and true spirit. As such, they cannot be used on Xin Yun; otherwise, it would amount to suicide, sealing oneself within the seal.

Moreover, even if it were possible to engrave oneself, Xin Yun would not foolishly do so. Remember, there are no restrictions to this engraving; any giant dragon that could be slain could be engraved into it, even holy beings. It's just that... holy beings are indestructible, rarely can anyone kill them, thus they cannot be engraved.
