115: triple seal

Just as he stepped into the merchant guild's entrance.

The middle-aged steward who had previously served him was sharp-eyed and immediately spotted Yao Delong, who had returned.

The professional smile on his face was instantly replaced by extreme deference,

and he practically scurried over to greet him, bowing even lower:

"Distinguished Guest! Why have you returned? Is there any question about the classical texts you just purchased?

Or do you require other services? Please just give the order!"

Yao Delong glanced around, confirmed that no one was paying special attention to them, lowered his voice, and went straight to the point:

"I need an absolutely safe quiet room that can isolate all auras and Divine Sense probing, immediately! The time required might be slightly long."

The steward's heart trembled upon hearing this! Absolutely safe, isolating everything?

"Yes! Yes! Distinguished Guest, please follow me!" The steward did not hesitate at all, and his respectful demeanor gained a touch of solemnity,

"Our merchant guild has 'Heaven' Rank top-tier Quiet Rooms for our highest-level VIPs!

They are not only equipped with powerful defensive and isolation Restrictions, but also have small Spirit Gathering Arrays. They definitely meet your requirements! Please follow me!"

The steward said no more and personally led the way, taking Yao Delong through the luxurious hall,

past several corridors, and arriving before a heavy stone door deep inside the guild, which was carved with complex cloud patterns and faintly emitted spatial fluctuations.

He took out a strangely shaped jade talisman, pressed it into the groove in the center of the stone door, and simultaneously chanted an incantation.

Buzz!

The cloud patterns on the stone door suddenly lit up, emitting gentle yet powerful spatial fluctuations,

silently sliding open to both sides, revealing a downward sloping passage paved with smooth white jade.

A wave of pure and dense Spiritual Qi washed over them.

"Distinguished Guest, please enter! This Quiet Room is located deep underground. The Restrictions were personally set up by the guild's Nascent Soul Stage attendant. Once activated,

the inside and outside are completely isolated. Unless one holds a specialized jade talisman or opens it from the inside,

even a Late Nascent Soul Stage mighty expert cannot forcibly break in or probe even an inch! You are absolutely safe inside!"

The steward respectfully presented a small jade talisman, also engraved with purple-gold cloud patterns, to Yao Delong with both hands.

"This is the control jade talisman. It can open and close the Restriction, and also summon this humble one at any time. Please use it with peace of mind; there is no time limit!"

"Very well. Before I emerge, no one is to disturb me."

Yao Delong said in a deep voice, his tone carrying undeniable authority.

"Understood! Distinguished Guest, please rest assured! This humble one will personally stand guard here and ensure no one approaches this place by even half a step!"

The steward bowed in agreement, his attitude extremely firm.

Yao Delong said no more and stepped into the passage.

The stone door behind him silently and swiftly closed, completely isolating everything outside.

At the end of the passage was a Quiet Room approximately ten zhang square.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all constructed from a special kind of black jade capable of absorbing energy fluctuations,

and were covered densely with profound runes that shimmered faintly.

In the center of the Quiet Room, a small Spirit Gathering Array was slowly operating, gathering pure Spiritual Qi here.

"This is the place!" A sharp glint shot out of Yao Delong's eyes; he no longer had any reservations.

He quickly sat cross-legged in the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, took a deep breath, and calmed his mind.

Inside the White Cloud Merchant Guild's Heaven Rank Quiet Room, time seemed to lose all meaning.

Yao Delong sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his Divine Sense sinking into the Jade Slip that recorded the Ninth Nether Spirit Locking Scripture.

A massive amount of complex and profound Restriction information instantly flooded into his Sea of Consciousness like a surging tide.

The profundity of this Human Rank High Grade secret text far surpassed ordinary Cultivation Techniques,

involving the exquisite application of Divine Soul, vital energy, space, and even a trace of the Law level, making it obscure and difficult to comprehend.

"System, use the skill mastery card, target: Ninth Nether Spirit Locking Scripture!" Yao Delong silently chanted in his mind.

"Ding! skill mastery card used successfully! Target: Ninth Nether Spirit Locking Scripture (Human Rank High Grade)!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, the Ninth Nether Spirit Locking Scripture has been upgraded to the Perfection Realm!"

In that instant, an indescribable torrent of enlightenment washed over Yao Delong's Sea of Consciousness!

The runes, spell incantations, and energy circulation routes in the Jade Slip—which were originally difficult and obscure and required vast amounts of time to deduce and understand—

instantly became crystal clear, as if he had already been immersed in this Dao for decades!

Countless subtle insights regarding the essence of Restrictions, the construction of energy chains, and the key points of Soul Seals,

were deeply imprinted into the depths of his Soul like a brand.

The previously awkward sealing techniques were now as easy as moving his own arm, smooth and flawless!

"Hoo..." Yao Delong opened his eyes, the sharp light within them restrained, showing no trace of hesitation.

With a thought, the unconscious Xin Yuelan was moved out of the beast taming pouch and lay flat on the ground.

Her face was still pale, and her breathing was weak.

Evidently, the backlash from the Fire Pill explosion that day and the continuous suppression by the Life-Generating Creation Fire had compounded her injuries, leaving her still unconscious.

"That saves me trouble."

Yao Delong's gaze sharpened, his hands instantly blurring into afterimages, his ten fingers rapidly forming spell incantations like butterflies flitting through flowers!

Buzz!

Invisible Void Flame Blazing Fire surged from his fingertips, yet it did not burn violently.

Instead, it condensed into fine, profound runic chains that exuded an aura of ultimate Restriction!

These chains seemed to possess life, and under the control of Yao Delong's Perfection Realm Ninth Nether Spirit Locking Scripture,

they pierced Xin Yuelan's Dantian barrier with extreme precision, ignoring the residual Devilish Qi resistance within her body,

instantly wrapping around the slowly spinning, pitch-black demon core that emitted dense Demonic Essence!

"Ninth Nether Spirit Lock, Seal Demon Suppress Essence! Condense!"

Following Yao Delong's low shout, the Void Flame runic chains suddenly tightened,

intertwining and linking with each other to form an extremely complex, three-dimensional Seal Array Diagram that emitted a chilling, cold light,

like a miniature cage, locking the entire demon core tightly within it!

The moment the Array Diagram formed, the demon core's rotation abruptly paused,

and the Demonic Essence leaking from it was completely suppressed and restricted, unable to escape even slightly!

The powerful fluctuation belonging to a Golden Core Stage Demonic Cultivator inside her Dantian instantly vanished without a trace!

Immediately afterward, Yao Delong changed his spell incantation again, aiming directly at Xin Yuelan's Sea of Consciousness!

The Void Flame runic chains surged out once more, sinking into her glabella, and perfectly merging with the emerald-green Life-Generating Creation Fire net deep within her Sea of Consciousness!

The emerald-green fire threads wrapped around the pale-white runes,

forming a "Ninth Nether Spirit Locking Fire Net" that was tougher, more profound, and possessed both the power of creation/destruction and Restriction,

completely sealing and isolating her consciousness Origin and Divine Soul perception!

At the core, the emerald and red interwoven flame mark,

was deeply branded into the depths of her Divine Soul like the strongest shackles.

"That's still not enough!" Yao Delong's eyes were sharp.

His hands did not stop. Runes composed of Pure Yang Yuan Power mixed with Restriction power,

rained down into Xin Yuelan's limbs, bones, and major acupoints across her body!

These runes were not aimed at the Demonic Essence or the Divine Soul, but directly acted upon her Physical Body's meridians and the circulation of her Qi and blood!

It was like driving countless wedges into a solid dam, completely locking down the possibility of her mobilizing her Physical Body's strength!

Only after completing all this did Yao Delong let out a long breath, fine beads of sweat seeping from his temples.

Triple Seal! The Dantian demon core, the Sea of Consciousness Divine Soul, and the Qi and blood circulation of the entire body!

At this moment, Xin Yuelan, aside from her stunning physical shell, had all her internal power completely locked down,

making her no different from a Mortal woman with weak vitality. The heavy burden on his Divine Sense was finally lifted.
