X-Dragon Era

However, the Kongtong Seal was different; the Seal Character Technique it used was merely its instinct and not its true power. For instance, using the Jade Seal to smash someone is not impossible, but is the Jade Seal's real purpose to hit people? Obviously not.

If one were to use the Kongtong Seal to hit someone, with its Innate Spiritual Treasure's might, it would indeed be extraordinary, but it could not compare to the Sky-Overturning Seal, which specialized in smashing. After all... the latter was forged from the Heaven Seal and a fragment of Mount Buzhou. Although it was a postnatal treasure, its power was not inferior to the Innate Spiritual Treasures and lacked only the Power of Laws. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

The reason Innate Spiritual Treasures are so powerful is actually due to the laws they contain within. For instance, the protection of the Twelve-Rank Lotus Platform and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree that brushes clean all things—these are similar laws. The law within the Kongtong Seal is—that of the Fountain of Youth!

After assimilating the Kongtong Seal, Xin Yun had already become immortal; in a way, he was like a saint, indestructible in all calamities. It was just that in terms of strength, he couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as a saint.

Apart from immortality, there were also the nine undying Guardian Dragons. However... these nine dragons were still lacking, as Xin Yun had not yet gone to capture them. Even if he were willing to, it was doubtful he could capture any overly powerful Guardian Dragons.

Gazing at the Kongtong Seal coiled with nine dragons, Xin Yun became completely bewildered for a moment. Was this thing strong or not? Clearly... it was very strong, yet it practically did nothing to enhance his strength.

While the Kongtong Seal was indeed formidable when used to hit someone, it was no match for the Sky-Overturning Seal. Even the Chaos Bell, if repaired a few more layers, would be stronger than the Kongtong Seal. The Guardian Dragons could not simply be sealed away. Xin Yun already had a goal that, for the time being, was impossible to achieve. So this feature was essentially useless. Lastly, the immortal source itself—although it could grant everyone immortality, it clearly did not improve strength at all.

Of course, as a spiritual treasure, the Kongtong Seal was still very powerful. If used to hit someone, it was still formidable. However, even with great power, Xin Yun did not dare to wield it openly. Once it was discovered, it could lead to endless troubles!

Heaving a long sigh, Xin Yun flicked his fingers and the Kongtong Seal swiftly shrank, penetrating through the crown of his head and into his Purple Mansion. Regardless, it was still an Innate Spiritual Treasure. Even though it currently seemed to serve little purpose, as Xin Yun's strength grew, one day it would show its true power.

Overall, the greatest feature of the Kongtong Seal was actually its source as the Fountain of Youth. Once it had sealed powerful Guardian Dragons, its might would be unparalleled. Just imagine… if Xin Yun were to seal them now with everyone's help, he would surely capture Guardian Dragons of the Amethyst Rank. Nine Amethyst Rank dragons, with infinite energy and undying Guardian Dragons—even a diamond-rank expert would have to detour upon encountering them.

Even if a supreme expert could destroy the nine Guardian Dragons in an instant, Xin Yun would only need to stamp with the Great Seal to immediately summon the nine Guardian Dragons once again, endless and ceaseless. Even if billions upon billions were destroyed, these nine Guardian Dragons could still be instantly reborn.

The might of the Dragon Clan surpassed even the Witch Ghosts. Before the Ancient Dragon Clan was exterminated, even the Witch Ghosts had to yield. It was only after the grand war of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans that the Witch Ghosts stepped onto the stage of history.

To understand the power of the Ancient Dragon Clan, one only needs to reflect on a certain artifact—the Golden Jiao Scissors. Its power needs no further elaboration, as even the Earth People know. In reality… this artifact was fashioned by the Leader of Tongtian from two captured Ancient Jiao Dragons. Even a Golden Immortal would struggle to resist it. If not for the timely arrival of the original Celestial Spirit, even the mighty Lu Ya would have nearly been strangled to death.

If the Golden Jiao Scissors, forged from two Jiao Dragons, were so powerful, then what about nine Ancient Jiao Dragons? How formidable they must be! Those scissors were, after all, a postnatal treasure, not even deemed a true Spiritual Treasure. How could they compare with nine Ancient undying Guardian Dragons condensed from an Innate Spiritual Treasure imbued with the power of laws?

After summoning Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, and Ming Xuan, Xin Yun did not explain much. With a stamp of the seal, he imprinted the current states of the three onto the Kongtong Seal. In doing so, even if the three died instantly, they could be revived in the blink of an eye, their state preserved just as it was at the moment of imprinting, neither increased nor diminished.

On the face of the Kongtong Seal, there were four large characters representing Heaven, Earth, Qian, and Kun. Xin Yun imprinted the Divine Souls of Yi Luo Xiang and himself onto 'Heaven' and 'Qian', thus dubbing themselves the Dual Heavenly Supremes. The Divine Souls of Yan Qingying and Ming Xuan were then inscribed onto 'Earth' and 'Kun'. Once inscribed within these four characters, the Kongtong Seal would lock onto the True Spirits of the four. If their Divine Souls were extinguished, the Kongtong Seal would automatically draw in their True Spirits, then automatically imprint the Divine Souls, completing the entire revival process.

Apart from the Divine Souls inscribed within these four characters, other souls could not be automatically revived upon their obliteration. It required Xin Yun to cast a technique and activate the Kongtong Seal to pull back that spark of True Spirit for a selective revival.

After the inscription was finished, Xin Yun didn't elaborate much. After all… once one knew they could be immortal, it would cost them many opportunities to train. Remember… it is in the brink of life and death that the best chances for enlightenment lie. Once the worry of life and death was gone, one might miss the chance for epiphany.
