Chapter 276: Chapter 134 The Cruel Heaven Mandate Domain
“The clan head said that the Landing Pearls cannot be dropped; once they hit the ground, they will disappear. Could it be that all these Landing Pearls are gone?” Fu Yingying suddenly spoke up after pondering for a moment.
“This...” Zhang Xuan originally didn’t have a clue, but upon hearing this, he was startled as if a thought struck him, his eyes growing brighter, “Right! If all these Landing Pearls have entered the ground and vanished, wouldn’t it mean that no matter how long we search, we won’t find them?”
“What do you mean?” Fu Yingying was full of confusion.
“It’s simple.” Zhang Xuan didn’t explain, but instead took a step forward, came to the cave’s rock wall, gently pressed his palm against it without any noticeable exertion, only a light tremor, and a palm imprint about half an inch deep instantly appeared on the wall.
Fu Yingying glanced at it and was immediately filled with admiration.
Creating a one-inch-deep palm imprint on the wall was very simple, but to leave such a mark as though lifting weight as if it were light, without the surrounding area bursting or any burring, as if it were cut and polished, was undoubtedly far superior to her own control of strength.
“You try...” Without concerning himself with her admiration, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
“Me?” Fu Yingying’s face showed a trace of embarrassment, “I can’t do it!”
Although her cultivation realm was not much different from the other party, her true strength was far from the same level, not even in the same league.
“Try it!” declared Zhang Xuan.
“Alright!” Seeing him insist, Fu Yingying didn’t say more. She also came before the rock wall, gently pressed her palm against it, and as the power within her body surged out, she fiercely pressed down.
Crack! The rock wall also bore a palm imprint, identical to the one left by Zhang Xuan just moments ago, half an inch deep, as if cut by a knife.
After explaining for him, the girl continued, “Normally, that would be impossible, but some cultivators, whose descendants are unworthy and struggle to inherit all of the strength, would willingly give up their life and cooperate with their descendants, sealing the remaining strength and forming a controllable Heaven Mandate Domain. Such a domain is weak in power but can retain the strength not comprehended by the descendant, preventing leakage. However, because it is a remnant version, it can only be activated a limited number of times, three or four at most, before the power is completely depleted. Furthermore, each activation causes significant loss, and most strong practitioners cannot endure it, using it only in life-and-death situations...”
Zhang Xuan nodded. He had always thought that a Heaven Mandate Domain formed when a strong practitioner died and couldn’t control the fragments of the heavens; he had not imagined it could be manipulated.
“Voluntarily giving up life and sacrificing, I understand, but what do you mean by ‘cooperating with the descendants’?” Zhang Xuan asked.
Fu Yingying explained, “It means allowing the descendants to kill them! If the strength is not constrained before death, it ensures that the domain does not collapse; otherwise, the strength would simply diffuse and no one would be able to control it...”
“Allowing the descendants to kill them?” Zhang Xuan’s expression shifted subtly; everyone envied the unbroken lineage of great families, but as it turned out, maintaining it was not as easy as one might imagine.
To raise one’s hand against parents or beloved elders... that was not something just anyone could do.
Shaking his head to put aside these thoughts, Zhang Xuan looked around again, “If what you speculate is true, then it is highly likely that this is the Heaven Mandate Domain, no wonder our Heavenly Mandate Vitality, although it can find the direction, is actually like hitting a ghost wall, wandering aimlessly on the spot, because... even if we walk all the paths, we will not find the Landing Pearls! Nor will we find Qinghu.”
“Not find?” Fu Yingying looked puzzled.
“Yes!” Zhang Xuan nodded, “Because the Landing Pearls are not within the cave at all, but beneath the ground!”
With that, Zhang Xuan swept his hand again, and the Heavenly Mandate Vitality imbued with Fox Charm Destiny flowed out, forming a thin stream pointing to a passageway. Coming before it, Zhang Xuan continued to release Heavenly Mandate Vitality, dozens of strands finally converging at one place, no longer moving forward but gently circling.
They had previously passed here without noticing anything and had left, but this time, Zhang Xuan did not proceed further and suddenly stomped down.
Bang! The ground shattered, and rocks skittered, revealing a hole over half a foot deep.
Fu Yingying’s expression was solemn. Just now, no matter how much force they used, they could only make neat half-inch holes, and now, with just a single stomp, a half-foot-deep hole was created... Clearly, the ground at this location was entirely different from that of the previous position.
