Chapter 1093 The Lamp Without a Genie
System, omnipotent!
Su Xiaoya looked at the 'spatial seal', her eyes flickering with a mixture of emotions.
According to Cang Mingzi, the "Spatial Seal" can not only open up void passages, but also sense the aura of the Boundary Heart Stone fragments.
The key point is that this void passage should already exist.
If Shangguan Tai and his group hadn't found the black hole and sent Qingyuan Star away, it's estimated that Qingyuan Star would have been divided up by those guys from all the heavens and myriad worlds long ago.
However, Qingyuan Star cannot hide forever.
Putting everything else aside, these four time-traveling tools still need to find their way back to Earth, so they definitely need to leave this void.
Meanwhile, the Su family, the Imperial Preceptor's faction, the Witch Clan, the Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, the East Sea Dragon Clan, the East Sea Sea Clan, the West Sea Wuzhiqi Three Monkeys, and the hundred or so hatched eggs...
Unbeknownst to them, their connection with Qingyuan Star had deepened.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to abandon Qingyuan Star, their second home.
Moreover, with the danger still unresolved, they are even less likely to expose Earth.
Ugh!
They had no choice but to become stronger and stand at the pinnacle of the void, or to stand at the pinnacle with Qingyuan Star.
After all, two fists can't beat four hands.
Even when Pangu created the world, he was exhausted by the three thousand chaotic demons and had to transform into all things.
Su Xiaoya didn't think that her four "tools" could defeat those old guys from all the worlds.
"Is there any way to separate Cang Mingzi from the 'Spatial Seal' without harming Cang Mingzi?"
Uh!
The system was a little confused—"I can't do it!"
After a moment of silence, the system explained to Su Xiaoya one by one: "'Spatial Seal' is Cang Mingzi's natal magic weapon. When his physical body was destroyed, Cang Mingzi sacrificed his flesh and blood and refined himself into the spirit of 'Spatial Seal'."
"In other words, only those with Cang Mingzi's bloodline can form a contract with the divine artifact 'Spatial Seal'."
Uh!
The silence was deafening.
Su Xiaoya suddenly realized that no matter whether Cang Mingzi was good or evil in the past, he was at least malicious towards them now.
At the very least, it is full of deception.
Artifact contracts, especially those with intact artifact spirits, are inherently mysterious and unpredictable.
Legend has it that divine artifacts will choose their own masters—first, by their personal affinity; second, by their strength; and third, by their bloodline.
Bloodline contracts typically involve condensing one's essence blood, injecting the essence blood containing one's own internal energy and mental power into a divine artifact.
Once the essence blood enters, a thrilling battle will ensue with the weapon spirit. During this time, it is necessary to continuously form hand seals to channel power and strengthen one's own essence blood.
At the same time, they continuously try to communicate or exert pressure, using exclusive incantations and spells to build a bridge of communication.
If the spirit remains unruly, you can release an attack spell targeting the spirit, applying pressure like a mountain crushing an egg, forcing it to agree to acknowledge you as its master, so that the spirit doesn't perish and cause the artifact to become a defective product or even completely scrapped.
However, once a divine artifact is bound to a specific bloodline, such as the Xuanyuan Sword, which only recognizes the bloodline contract of the direct descendants of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, others cannot activate it even if they seize it by trickery or force. The recognition of such divine artifacts by their masters is mostly triggered by bloodline resonance.
The "space imprint" of today is just like that.
Damn it, isn't this an obvious trap?!
Su Xiaoya finally understood that Cang Mingzi either wanted to possess her own brother or trick her and her brother into sending the 'Spatial Seal' back to his hometown with great difficulty.
Ha ha!
The abacus beads are almost falling on my face.
Therefore, it might be better to simply seal the 'Spatial Seal' directly.
As for what Cang Mingzi said, imprinting the coordinates of the void route into the sea of consciousness of the brother and sister, they only need to activate the 'spatial seal' to open the portal to the Xuan Kong Realm.
Su Xiaoya wondered if she could assume that as long as they didn't activate the 'Spatial Seal,' the gate to the Xuan Kong Realm wouldn't open.
Furthermore, the coordinates of Qingyuan Star will not be activated and will not be discovered.
Without hesitation, Su Xiaoya went directly to the system: "Is there any way to completely seal the 'Spatial Seal' without destroying Cang Mingzi, the artifact spirit?"
What an amazing artifact!
Even if we can't make a contract with them right now, we might be able to exchange for a large number of rare and precious materials and various resources in the Xuan Kong Realm.
Anyway, it's all in my hands now, right? How can I not shine and create value!
The system was also helpless in the face of the host's wildly imaginative and divergent thinking.
There's nothing I can do; he's my host, so I have to pamper him!
After rummaging through the system store, the system finally found a lamp!
This lamp, about seven inches tall, is made entirely of an unknown dark metal. It resembles a twinkling star in the night sky, with dark gold patterns flowing under the light, just like a galaxy spreading across the night sky.
The lamp body is not a regular cylinder, but rather a vase shape that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. Its lines are smooth and rounded, like a graceful woman. When held in the hand, it fits perfectly in the curve of the palm. The touch is as warm and smooth as mutton fat jade, yet it also has the unique coolness of metal. Where the fingertips glide, you can feel the fine cloud and thunder pattern relief, which is concave and convex, as if it hides ancient secrets, like a mysterious painting.
The rim of the lamp is inlaid with a ring of pigeon blood rubies, each one full and lustrous, with a rich color like congealed blood, resembling a burning flame. The gems are interspersed with tiny moonstone fragments, which shimmer with silver light when the light is refracted, as if locking the colors of dawn and dusk together, like a dazzling pearl.
The neck of the lamp is carved with intricate Persian scroll patterns, and the vines intertwine to reveal the half-exposed elven wings in relief. The wing patterns are as fine as hair, and the gilded layer on the edge has not faded after thousands of years. When the lamp body is turned, it shimmers with tiny golden light, as if there is a flowing spirit, like a butterfly dancing gracefully.
The lamp base is in the shape of a three-legged tripod, with each leg carved into a crouching sphinx. The lion's head is slightly lowered, and its eyes are inlaid with dark green glass. The pupils are engraved with a small six-pointed star array, as if it is gazing at all things in the world, like a solemn guardian.
The lamp doesn't feel luxurious at all; instead, it exudes a sense of weight and mystery accumulated over time. The dark metal surface is covered with fine oxidation marks, but it doesn't look mottled. Instead, it makes the dark gold patterns appear even more profound, like a wise man who has experienced many vicissitudes.
Su Xiaoya stared at the "Aladdin's Lamp" that appeared before her eyes, completely petrified—was this a fusion of East and West in the world of mythology?
However, staring at the circular inscription resembling ancient Arabic script engraved on the bottom of the lamp base, Su Xiaoya was speechless. She had never studied Arabic!
It's still written in Old Arabic.
Looking at these distorted and complicated characters, Su Xiaoya, in a rather silly manner, reached out and touched them.
When she touched it, she could feel faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, as if it were telling the story of an ancient, sealed contract.
But—three circles to the left?
no response.
Three circles to the right?
There was still nothing in front of me!
What happened to the promise that wiping the lamp three times would summon the genie to grant your wish?
Could this be a fake?
The system naturally knew what Su Xiaoya was thinking, but it was also helpless!
Of all the lamps in the entire system's store that meet Su Xiaoya's requirements, this is the only one. What can He do? If there were any other option, He would not choose this ambiguous "bronze lamp."
"Fine, I've already redeemed it, so I might as well keep it! I can't return it anyway." Su Xiaoya's lips twitched, but she still accepted that she had redeemed this lamp—a lamp without a god.
However, it's no longer appropriate to call it "Aladdin's Lamp"; let's call it "Space Lamp" instead!
After all, she hadn't forgotten that this was a treasure she had exchanged specifically to seal the 'Spatial Seal'.
Surprisingly, when left still, this magic lamp looks just like an ordinary antique, appearing simple, understated, and reserved.
However, the moment her fingertips brushed against the gemstones and reliefs, she could clearly feel a faint tremor, as if the sleeping spirit of the artifact was quietly breathing deep within the lamp.
Although she had confirmed that the magic lamp did not have a genie!
never mind!
never mind!
It’s still business that matters.
Su Xiaoya asked the system directly, "Where's the sealing incantation?"
Uh!
The system was unaware that its host had been led astray by the suddenly appearing "Aladdin's Lamp" and was still waiting for the "instruction manual"!
However, the system was a very responsive system, so without even thinking, it gave the answer: "Blood oath!"
what?
LOL!
Su Xiaoya touched her nose and scratched her toes so hard they almost scratched out a three-bedroom, two-living-room house.
To cover her embarrassment, Su Xiaoya didn't even think twice before bringing her index finger to her lips and biting it hard—cough cough! It didn't break!
Uh!
The silence was deafening.
Without anyone reminding her, Su Xiaoya had already realized the truth: she had never bitten her finger when she signed the blood oath!
Every time, it's just a matter of pinching a finger to force out a drop of blood, saving time and effort, and—it doesn't hurt.
Silently, Su Xiaoya made a hand seal and forced out a drop of blood—the contract!
Anyway, she wasn't embarrassed; it was everyone else who was.
