Chapter 1279: Primordial Spirit Lock
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Shi Yan and Ouyang Luo Shuang were staying in the cabin on the transport ship. They closed the door and denied talking to Ban Yu.
After Ban Yu had seen Shi Yan's spatial marvelous abilities, he knew that this young man could have extraordinary status and power. He then lifted up his cold appearance and tried to talk to him to form a relationship.
Shi Yan neglected him.
Inside the room, the ceiling had precious gems and pearls that illuminated the space. Ouyang Luo Shuang had snow-white skin and was sitting silently. Her clear eyes looked at Shi Yan.
"Let me see if I can unchain you."
Shi Yan frowned. After he had finished, he didn't care if Ouyang Luo Shuang would protest. He directly grabbed her slender, jade-like hands.
He didn't pay attention to Ouyang Luo Shuang's pretty eyes to see that she was frightened.
Ouyang Luo Shuang's hands were beautiful. They were white and soft. Each of her fingers was like a scallion with skin so thin that he could even see the small veins under her skin.
Then, a dark bluish chain wound around her white wrists, locking her senses and her ability to talk and move.
Shi Yan held her ivory-like hands and focused. The starlight filled his eyes while he gathered his star energy and sent it through her hands toward the chains.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The lightning beams winding around the chains activated. They broke Shi Yan's star energy into pieces in just a blink.
Ouyang Luo Shuang's jade-like hands chilled instantly as if the cold energy had occupied them. The electrical beams shot through her veins. She couldn't help but quiver in pain.
Shi Yan discolored slightly. He hurried to retreat his star energy and her hands.
The cold air emitted from Ouyang Luo Shuang's hands like a white mist. In the next moment, her hands regained her body temperature while the electrical beams moving in her veins returned to the chains.
Apparently, those chains weren't ordinary items. When someone touched them, they reacted terribly by hurting the one they shackled. It kept the rescuer from taking rash actions.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Yan pulled himself together. He didn't touch her hands anymore, a light sparkling in his pupils.
A flow of robust soul energy flew out of his soul altar. Just like a wisp of smoke, it seeped into Ouyang Luo Shuang's body. Shi Yan attempted to sense with his soul first to see what strange things had happened to Ouyang Luo Shuang. Then, he was going to decide what to do.
His soul energy with the Life power Upanishad like a warm sea covered Ouyang Luo Shuang.
In the sea of life that he intended to create, Ouyang Luo Shuang's face glowed healthily as the pressure in her body was reduced and she felt more comfortable.
Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness seized the chance to enter her body and head to her soul altar.
Suddenly, a struggling soul came from the chains on Ouyang Luo Shuang's hands. That soul was wiggling so hard that it activated the lightning power on the chains. Quickly, the lightning beams began to crawl on her hands and expand to her entire body.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The lightning bolts shot out and the burning smell filled the room. Shi Yan discolored in fear. He hurried to retreat his wisp of Soul Consciousness.
However, it was strange that as soon as his Soul Consciousness got out of Ouyang Luo Shuang's body, the power of the chains disappeared instantly. Ouyang Luo Shuang looked relaxed and tired. She quietly looked at Shi Yan, her clear eyes showing her reluctant pain.
"Hey, buddy! Buddy!" Ban Yu called him from the outside and said sincerely. "You shouldn't do anything rash or force to break those chains. You will kill your friend altogether!"
Shi Yan's face became dark. He threw a look at the door and the door sprang open.
Ban Yu entered the room, his face stern. "I wanted to tell you about the chains, but you didn't give me a chance. I think you should allow me to talk about it now."
"Tell me. How do I break these chains?" Shi Yan sounded cold.
"There's no way to break it," Ban Yu forced a smile. Seeing the malicious light sparkle in Shi Yan's pupils, he was frightened so he hastened to add, "There is a key! Each Primordial Spirit Lock has one key. You can use that special key to unlock it quickly!"
"Primordial Spirit Lock?" Shi Yan frowned. "What is this lock?"
"The Primordial Spirit Lock is strange. It has the wisp of this lady's soul inside. It's fused with her soul, so if you break the chains, the wisp of her soul will be broken altogether. Then, her soul will explode. The Primordial Spirit Lock can confine the body, the God power, and mainly the soul. Did you find her soul struggling inside the chains when you intruded it right now?" said Ban Yu.
Shi Yan nodded.
It had happened exactly like what he described. When Shi Yan was about to enter Ouyang Luo Shuang's Sea of Consciousness, the lightning beams shot out from the chains together with her soul wiggling.
Thus, he found that it wasn't right. He immediately left. Otherwise, Ouyang Luo Shuang's soul inside the chains would have burned down, which would also kill her host soul.
"How come you are so familiar with this kind of lock?" asked Shi Yan coldly.
Ban Yu looked embarrassed as he spoke begrudgingly. "Because the blacksmith of our Tsunami Chamber of Commerce invented this Primordial Spirit Lock. It's one of the most expensive items that Tsunami Chamber of Commerce sells. Each set of the Primordial Spirit Lock has only one key. Without this key, if he forcefully unlocked the chain, the host soul of the victim will perish altogether. It isn't easy to get this Primordial Spirit Lock. Each set of them is extremely expensive, so only the rich forces like the Broken Hall, the Thousand Fantasy Sect, or the Heaven River Temple could buy them. Er, if they use this special lock to confine this lady, I think her identity isn't ordinary."
Ban Yu's eyes sparkled. He studied Shi Yan to see his reaction.
Shi Yan didn't fail him. His reaction was extreme. He cursed directly. "Your Tsunami Chamber of Commerce lacks morality. You guys are despicable, indeed! The blacksmith who invented this Primordial Spirit Lock shouldn't reproduce! If I meet this guy, I will confine him in the middle of the chaotic space and shatter that space. I will let him taste the feeling of his soul and body dividing into different spaces."
Ban Yu paled instantly.
Shi Yan's eyes were so cold. He looked at the man and grinned fiendishly. "Well, do you so happen to be that bastard?"
"No no no!" Ban Yu shook his head continuously. He was more panic-stricken as he gave a dry smile. "I... I haven't reached such level in blacksmithing. If I was that excellent, I wouldn't be here now."
Although the blacksmith who had invented the Primordial Spirit Lock wasn't Ban Yu, he was a precursor in Ban Yu's family. It was that precursor's merit that allowed Ban Yuto join Tsunami Chamber of Commerce and become the captain of a transport fleet.
Ban Yu mentioned this to increase his value. However, Shi Yan's reaction was extreme, so Ban Yu had to curse himself for his bad mouth.
"Well, better that it's not you," Shi Yan gave a faint smile and then shouted. "There is no other solution besides using the key?"
"No, no solution," Ban Yu shook his head. However, after a moment, he thought of something. "Oh, right. There is a solution. I heard that an Immortal Realm expert can draw the soul out of the chain. Then, he could use his supernatural power to break the chain."
He looked at Shi Yan, bent his body slightly, and pried, "With your position and status, I think it won't be difficult to find an Immortal Realm expert to help her, right?"
Before Shi Yan had fought Wei Yun and Xing Shang, he used to boast arrogantly and didn't show respect to Caesar. At that time, Ban Yu thought that Shi Yan didn't know the immensity of this world.
However, after the battle against Wei Yun and Xing Shang, Ban Yu had to change his opinions about Shi Yan when he knew Shi Yan got the Space power Upanishad...
He began to doubt that Shi Yan perhaps held a noble status and that he might have been telling the truth that he was qualified to talk with Caesar.
Thus, he had tried to create a good relationship with Shi Yan to know his real identity.
If Shi Yan was that sort of character, he had to be servile to him for sure. Thus, he proactively lowered his status when talking to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan looked at Ban Yu and sneered discreetly. He knew what this man had in his head. "I don't know any Immortal Realm expert."
"Oh, so when you talked about Caesar..." Ban Yu was baffled.
"Oh well, you're pretty old but you're still that innocent? Of course, I was trying to scare the two experts of the Broken Hall. Didn't you see that?" Shi Yan sounded ironic.
Ban Yu paled. He snorted, his eyes filled with disappointment. He walked out of the cabin directly.
Since Ouyang Luo Shuang was chained by the Primordial Spirit Lock, she couldn't move or talk. However, she could still hear and see them. Just like Ban Yu, she was now filled with disappointment.
She had hoped that Shi Yan could know someone at the Immortal Realm that could help her unlock this Primordial Spirit Lock. However, hearing what Shi Yan had just said, Ouyang Luo Shuang's hope vanished. She felt begrudgingly upset.
"What kind of look is that?" Shi Yan snorted. He could see her disappointment. "Don't worry. I will help you remove this Primordial Spirit Lock thing. If I can't find an Immortal Realm expert, I can find the key, right? Why are you looking at me like I'm a hoax? Are you kidding me?"
Ouyang Luo Shuang sighed, but the disappointment in her eyes remained.
She had heard from Xing Shang and Wei Yun that Xing Ming kept the key of the Primordial Spirit Lock on her wrists. As Xing Ming was at Third Sky of Incipient God Realm and kept the main power of the Broken Hall with only one person, it was like giving the sheep to the wolf's mouth when Shi Yan wanted to take the key from him.
She didn't believe that Shi Yan could take the key from Xing Ming. She was so worried that she wanted to tell him not to do that. Unfortunately, she couldn't talk.
Ouyang Luo Shuang's soul was also restricted so she couldn't use her soul to communicate with Shi Yan. Shi Yan watched her for a while and then felt bored. He didn't want to talk to her anymore. Thus, he sat down next to her and sank in his thoughts.
He had offended the Broken Hall before he arrived at the Fantasy Star. The purpose of this trip was to get the support of the leaders of the Thousand Fantasy Sect, the Broken Hall, and the Heaven River Temple. But now, it was more difficult.
He had a headache as he was considering how to deal with the three powerful monsters at the Immortal Realm when he arrived at the Fantasy Star.
