Chapter 2379 A Seal Made Of Dangerous Crystals

2379 A Seal Made Of Dangerous Crystals

The opening of the box was rather calm as nothing happened.

Xukong looked at the object inside, the Heaven Silencing Seal that silently sat in it.

The Seal was Octagonal and had a complex structure carved on top. It was that of a tens of tentacles and appendages wrapping around a large totem.

The words on the totem were hard to read, but there was one character that was very clear and it was at the top.

'Heaven'

The entire seal was made out of an emerald green crystal that emanated a faint glow. It almost looked ethereal and any normal human that looked at it would simply get mesmerized by it, unable to look away for hours.

"So this is the seal..." Xukong muttered as he tried to observe it in detail.

He used all his senses to do that, as he tried to perceive just what the Heaven Silencing Seal was. The information that he had obtained from Lin Mu's memories about the seal were limited. Other than the fact that it was once owned by the Lost Immortal, not much was known by it. Even the fact that it could stop Immortal Tribulations was only mentioned and no account of it was given.

"How is it senior?" Lin Mu asked after a bit.

"Hmm... Its rather underwhelming." Xukong replied, finding it strange too.

"Underwhelming? You can't feel the karma or anything?" Lin Mu asked in surprise.

"No... In fact I can't even sense what makes the seal special." Xukong replied. "Perhaps this is a limitation of my avatar, and my real body might be able to perceive more... but this is still quite unusual." He revealed.

"What? Even you can't tell?" Lin Mu was rather shocked.

"Yes. As for the Karma, it looks to have only been placed on the box for a singular purpose." Xukong added as he remembered how that voice had talked to Lin Mu. "It was 'checking' whether the person who obtained the seal was suitable for it or not."

"What if it had deemed be to not be suitable?" Lin Mu questioned as he thought about other possibilities.

"It is very likely that the seal would have rejected you. Perhaps it might have even returned to back where it came from." Xukong answered.

"Returned to the Grand Void..." Lin Mu muttered not even thinking if he would get the Billion Credits back if the Heaven Silencing Seal flew away.

"Speaking of that," Xukong spoke up. "I did not sense any particular movement in the Grand Void either."

If it was true, then it would be the first time Lin Mu was witnessing Xukong encounter an entirely new material like this.

"No, I've seen one before. Which is also why I couldn't recognize this one... It does not have similar properties." Xukong stated.

"How so?" Lin Mu asked, not knowing much about them.

"The Chaos Unity Crystals are simply too powerful and hard to mistake. Other than their characteristic emerald green color, they also have the property of constantly radiating a form of energy.

This is unique to it and is very unstable. It not only destroys or 'corrupts' most types of Qi, it is also highly dangerous to most beings. Any normal cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand being near it for more than a few seconds.

Their bodies would develop heinous lesions, blisters, and burns. Some might even melt away into a puddle of rotten flesh. The crystals will also taint everything around them, along with the very air itself.

This tainted energy would not leave the area for thousands if not tens of thousands of years. In a way, the energy from the Chaos Unity Crystals is a hundred times more dangerous than Baleful energies." Xukong explained in detail.

The more Lin Mu heard about the Chaos Unity Crystals the more he was shocked. "Would I even be able to hold it then?" Lin Mu asked in doubt.

"You should be able to hold this seal." Xukong replied. "For some reason the Chaos Unity Crystals that make up this Heaven Silencing Seal do not have the unstable energy radiating from it. It made me unable to recognize it at all." He added.

"Does that mean the creator of the Heaven Silencing Seal managed to change its properties?" Lin Mu asked. "What kind of arrays are in it?" he wondered.

"I cannot tell what kind of arrays are in it since Chaos Unity Crystals cannot be scanned with Immortal Sense or any other kind of senses." Xukong replied. "Trying something like that would only get one's immortal sense destroyed in its entirety. Even coming close to the crystal with one's immortal sense might get it damaged." He explained.

Lin Mu was rather alarmed by this and was now doubting whether it was a good choice to have 'bought' this item.

It was quite clear that he had obtained something that was pretty much a hot potato and could not be handled casually.

~huu~

"So what should we do with it?" Lin Mu questioned.

"For now, it's best you leave it be." Xukong answered. "I'll observe it for a while and see if there is any change. If I find it to be okay, you can try making contact with it." He suggested.

"I'll do as you say then." Lin Mu didn't mind that.

He was glad that he had Xukong to help him with this, as there was a high chance he could've made a fatal mistake otherwise.
