Novel Full Chapter 1412 - 538: Dad! Run!
Su Mo listened to Dongfang Yu speak, and his brows furrowed tightly for a moment.
The Nine Yin Locking Vein indeed originates from a technique within the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy.
However, this technique comes with a high cost.
To perform this art, a person must consume thirty percent of their cultivation.
In the opponent’s body, it forms nine paths of True Qi.
These nine paths of True Qi act as anchor points, erupting once every three years.
Upon eruption, the Mystic Ice True Qi sealed within the nine anchor points will surge out, locking the body’s acupoints.
Under such a state, every use of Inner Strength is like being split by an axe.
Excruciating pain!
Only the general outline of the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy contains a method to break this.
Otherwise, once descended upon, this Nine Yin Locking Vein is lifelong without solution.
When it erupts, if no one uses the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy to relieve it, one can only endure the pain of being locked by the Mystic Ice Vein for nine full days.
Afterwards, every nine years is a tribulation. After undergoing three such tribulations, even with the strategy in hand, this Nine Yin Locking Vein cannot be unraveled.
Thereafter, the Nine Yin Locking Vein will no longer erupt.
But the nine paths of True Qi within will leak out annually, freezing acupoints and meridians.
After at most nine years, a person affected by this technique will completely turn into an ice sculpture.
All blood and meridians within will be frozen solid, even if a Daluo Golden Immortal descends to the mortal world, there’s no chance of survival.
Musing this, Su Mo did not speak further.
He clamped Dongfang Yu’s wrist with two fingers, explored with Inner Strength, and let out a breath:
“Looking at the condition in Right Saint’s body, this is indeed the first eruption of the second tribulation.
“Right Saint truly suffers…”
“Hall Master, you’re too kind.”
Dongfang Yu forced a smile:
“To become this figure, one must endure its weight.
“Moreover…if it were the past, Hall Master, with your martial arts from the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy, relieving my pain would be as easy as turning your hand.
“Regrettably, the former Hall Master wandered into the Jianghu… the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy was lost since then.
“The former Hall Master could not obtain this skill, unable to relieve it for me and Left Saint.
“This is therefore our fate.
“Indeed, Left Saint and I have already prepared.
“Since we have few years left, it’s better to quickly take on good disciples.
“Before turning into ice sculptures, we must pass on these martial arts so that the names of the Left and Right Two Saints can be inherited.
“Ultimately, Dragon King Hall cannot lose the position of the Left and Right Two Saints.”
“…Even without anyone to relieve you of the pain from the Nine Yin Locking Vein, is it still necessary?”
Su Mo furrowed his brow slightly.
Dongfang Yu paused, gently shook his head:
“Such mere pain, what can it do to me?
“Moreover, now that the mighty ruler has descended, it is already heavenly mercy.
“Hall Master is endowed with innate talent; I merely need to endure a few more years.”
“Ha!”
Su Mo laughed mutely: “If that’s the case, as this supposed mighty ruler, how can I bear to see you endure longer?”
As he spoke, he pulled Dongfang Yu up.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yu’s expression changed drastically, hurriedly saying:
“Hall Master, wait…
“Hall Master… Although you entered Nanhai not long ago, I do not know how you obtained the Dragon King Mirror and the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy.
“Nevertheless, I imagine your cultivation isn’t deep now, and you must not rashly mobilize True Qi.
“Otherwise, not only will you be unable to relieve the Nine Yin Locking Vein within my body, but it will instead harm yourself.
“You now bear the lifeblood of thousands of disciples in Dragon King Hall within you, your body is worth Ten Thousand Gold.
“If there is the slightest mishap, I would never be forgiven for my thousand deaths!!”
Su Mo said nothing further, raised a single palm, and Mystic Ice True Qi condensed in his palm, reaching out and slapping Dongfang Yu’s back.
Dongfang Yu’s body trembled, feeling a surge of Inner Strength as vast as a smoky sea roaring into his body.
He couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.
This… how could this be shallow cultivation!?
Even after the former Hall Master was greatly harmed by Elder Du in the Black Island battle, such deep Mystic Ice True Qi did not exist, right?
This… how is this possible?
In astonishment, he heard Su Mo speak softly:
“Concentrate, embrace the origin and maintain unity!”
Immediately, Dongfang Yu dared not speak, although filled with countless doubts, he could only contain them.
Awaiting Su Mo to relieve the Nine Yin Locking Vein within his body.
However, it wasn’t difficult to relieve this technique; why would the Hall Master have him embrace the origin and maintain unity?
While thinking, he suddenly felt the Mystic Ice True Qi that Su Mo had channeled into his body rush directly to an anchor point. Before he realized what was happening, he felt that anchor point… vanish!
Hall Master wasn’t relieving the Nine Yin Locking Vein for me; he was breaking this technique for me?
In astonishment, he then felt a surge of Mystic Ice True Qi roar within him, circulating along the meridians for a cycle, directly returning to the Dantian.
Immediately he dared not let his thoughts wander, embraced the origin and maintained unity, executing Circulation of Skill.
After nearly an hour, Su Mo finally withdrew his palm.
Adjusted his inner breath, returning it to the Dantian.
He looked up at Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, hearing the successive sounds booming within.
The entire body was thoroughly relaxed!
Even the injuries from the tortures inflicted by Dark Dragon Hall after capturing him had mostly healed.
Hurriedly getting up, he quickly knelt down:
“Subordinate Dongfang Yu, thank you, Hall Master, for the grace of rebirth.”
“Nine anchor points, breaking one, and your Nine Yin Locking Vein no longer exists.”
Su Mo said softly:
“However, although this Nine Yin Locking Vein is a tribulation, it’s also a blessing.
“I suppose… your master relied on his cultivation and life to mark this Nine Yin Locking Vein for you in the past, didn’t he?”
“Hall Master’s vision is insightful.”
Dongfang Yu spoke softly:
“Left and Right Saints inherited three parts of the Nine Yin Mysterious Ice Strategy, lacking the full wonder, to impose this technique, one must lead with one’s cultivation and life.”
