Replication and Delivering the Goods
"You're not dead!?"
Upon seeing Lin Langtian suddenly appear, Yuwen Tuo's body went limp, his face as if he had seen a ghost, and he exclaimed in utter horror.
"How is that possible? You're just at the Life Profound Stage, how could you possibly break free from the restraints of the Stillness Divine Tablet?"
Ancient Divine Object are called Ancient Divine Object because of their strange or terrifying effects.
The Stillness Divine Tablet would be a disaster even for someone as powerful as Lin Langtian, who was only at the Life Profound Stage, or even at the Death Profound Stage or the Samsara Stage.
You must know that the power of stillness can even freeze time and space!
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled faintly and said, "It was a little short, but unfortunately, I am not an ordinary Life Profound Stage expert."
The Stillness Divine Tablet is indeed strange. Once activated, it can completely freeze time and even space. Those trapped inside will be at the mercy of others, powerless to resist.
Unfortunately, Lin Langtian was no ordinary person, because he possessed the Space Ancestral Talisman.
Although the Stillness Divine Tablet can imprison space, it is like the Flame Ancestral Symbol being the king of fire and the Thunder Ancestral Symbol being the emperor of thunder.
The Space Ancestral Talisman is the highest authority over the Spatial Power.
Even though the Stillness Divine Tablet is Ancient Divine Object, it is only ranked thirteenth and was not personally crafted by the Symbol Ancestor. Therefore, in terms of control over Spatial Power, it is naturally inferior to the Space Ancestral Talisman, one of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols.
The idea that the Stillness Divine Tablet could imprison the Space Ancestral Talisman is like waving a big knife in front of Guan Gong —pure nonsense.
Of course, there is another important reason, which is that Yuwen Tuo's strength is too weak, and he cannot unleash the true power of the Stillness Divine Tablet. If Yuwen Zhong, who is at the Death Profound Stage Lesser Success, were to use it, Lin Langtian might be in a desperate situation.
In summary, this is the key to Lin Langtian's escape.
This also shows the power of the Stillness Divine Tablet. If two people of the same level are competing, and the other person suddenly takes out the Stillness Divine Tablet, the battle can be turned around almost instantly.
"Tribunal Army, the Stillness Divine Tablet is yours. Please spare my life." On the other side, after the initial panic subsided, Yuwen Tuo humbly begged for mercy once again.
Having lost the Stillness Divine Tablet, he is now completely hopeless and seems to only want to survive.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian showed a disdainful look, sneered, and said, "There's no chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Langtian waved his sleeve, and terrifying Demonic Flame burst forth once again, enveloping Yuwen Tuo and the others in terror.
The Demonic Flame surged forth, emanating an evil aura. Accompanied by several mournful howls, the Demonic Flame slowly dissipated after a moment, revealing that Yuwen Tuo and the others had been reduced to ashes, drifting away in the wind.
After executing the remnants of the Yuwen Family, Lin Langtian's expression turned cold. Then, looking at the Stillness Divine Tablet in his hand, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
The effect of the Stillness Divine Tablet was too terrifying; even he was tempted by it. It would be too painful to hand it over to the Darkness Hall.
After all, the Nine Phoenix Race, one of the Four Hegemon Clans of the Beast Domain, only ranked fourteenth on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking with its treasured Heavenly Feather Demon-Suppressing Fan, while the Stillness Divine Tablet was ranked one place higher.
But if the Stillness Divine Tablet is not handed over to the Darkness Hall, how can the Elder Council be persuaded to obtain the Life-Death Reincarnation Pill?
As Lin Langtian frowned in distress, Spirit Aunt seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled, "Why don't you try using the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror to replicate another Stillness Divine Tablet?"
"Copy the Stillness Divine Tablet?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback, and then pondered, "But it hasn't been long since I copied the Space Ancestral Talisman. I wonder if the energy of the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror can still copy another Stillness Divine Tablet."
"Whether it succeeds or not will be known after a test. The Eight Great Ancestral Symbols are unique and will definitely be more difficult to replicate. Although this Stillness Divine Tablet is among the Ancient Divine Object, it is much more ordinary compared to the Ancestral Talisman. Perhaps it can be replicated," said Spirit Aunt.
Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly and then nodded.
If he could replicate a Stillness Divine Tablet, he wouldn't be so conflicted. Life-Death Reincarnation Pill and Stillness Divine Tablet —only children make choices; he wants both.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian's mind stirred, and the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror appeared, emitting a mysterious and eerie light.
Immediately afterward, under Lin Langtian's control, the Stillness Divine Tablet floated in the air in front of the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror. At the same time, an identical Stillness Divine Tablet slowly emerged from the mirror.
Mirror Copy.
With a soft shout from Lin Langtian, the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror instantly emitted a strange black-gold light. This black-gold light seemed to contain strange energy, making it seem unfathomable.
Immediately afterwards, these black and gold rays surged towards the Stillness Divine Tablet within the mirror like a tidal wave.
Enveloped by these black and gold rays, the Stillness Divine Tablet in the mirror slowly became real. On the tablet, blurry runes snaked out like dragons and snakes, emitting strange fluctuations, just like a real Stillness Divine Tablet.
The black and gold light gradually converged, and the Stillness Divine Tablet in the mirror gradually became real, radiating a peculiar glow.
Time passed, and as the light on the Stillness Divine Tablet in the mirror slowly faded, Lin Langtian discovered that it seemed to be covered with some extremely obscure and profound runes. Moreover, those runes seemed to have a life of their own, slowly flowing across the divine tablet.
"This... it's a success?" Lin Langtian asked with delight upon seeing this.
Thinking of this, Lin Langtian slowly reached into the mirror and grabbed it. The originally hard mirror surface was now like a lake, with ripples spreading as Lin Langtian put his hand in.
Lin Langtian's hand seemed to reach into an invisible space, where there was no air or temperature. After a moment, his hand touched an object.
Upon touching the object, Lin Langtian's face lit up with joy. Then, with a strong tug, the second Stillness Divine Tablet of the Heavenly Profound Continent appeared.
"It's a success..."
Upon receiving the copied Stillness Divine Tablet, a slight coolness emanated from it. Upon closer inspection, it was neither wood nor metal, and I had no idea what material it was made of.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian didn't stand on ceremony. Since it was a copy, it belonged entirely to him. He then flicked his finger, and a drop of blood fell onto the copied Stillness Divine Tablet.
Then a faint light emanated from it, and a subtle connection quietly rose in Lin Langtian's heart.
The light on the Stillness Divine Tablet grew brighter and brighter until it slowly floated up, eventually transforming into a beam of light that entered Lin Langtian's forehead and disappeared.
As the Stillness Divine Tablet shot into Lin Langtian's forehead, his eyes slowly closed, and his mind quickly entered the Mud Pill Palace.
In that Small World filled with swirling Mental Power, he saw a black wooden plaque floating quietly within it. Around it, Mental Power flowed slowly like ripples on water, with strands of Mental Power constantly being poured into it.
Under this infusion, Lin Langtian could also feel that he was gradually becoming familiar with the profound mysteries within this Stillness Divine Tablet.
Lin Langtian closed his eyes for several hours.
call.
As the sunlight gradually dimmed, Lin Langtian slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a strange light flickered in them.
Then, he suddenly stretched out his hands and slowly and awkwardly formed a rather strange hand seal.
"Still!"
Lin Langtian's gaze fell upon a butterfly fluttering not far away. He suddenly aimed the strange seal in his hand at the butterfly, and then a soft sound came from his mouth.
Buzz!
Just as those two words came out of Lin Langtian's mouth, an invisible and extremely profound wave suddenly swept out from between Lin Langtian's eyebrows.
Just as that wave burst forth, the butterfly fluttering not far away suddenly froze, its entire body seemingly embedded in the gap between time and space. The scene was extremely bizarre.
"Hehe, it is indeed exactly the same as the real Stillness Divine Tablet..." Upon seeing this, Lin Langtian's eyes lit up, and he said with delight.
This Spatial Power, though a replica, is just as powerful as the original.
With a slight smile, Lin Langtian waved his sleeve, and the strange confinement shattered. The butterfly, startled, fluttered its wings and quickly fled the area.
Immediately after putting away the genuine Stillness Divine Tablet, Lin Langtian looked at the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror and saw that the black and gold frame had dimmed slightly.
"It seems that replicating the Stillness Divine Tablet consumed a lot of energy from the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror." Shaking his head, Lin Langtian's mind stirred, and the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror entered his body.
Immediately, the surrounding space distorted slightly again, and in an instant, Lin Langtian's figure disappeared.
This time, I can take the Stillness Divine Tablet back to report.
Yuwen City, in the Eastern Region the Northern Xuan Region.
The dispute over the Stillness Divine Tablet finally ended with the destruction of the Yuwen Family. Upon receiving this news, all the forces in the Eastern Region understood that no force in the Northern Xuan Region could offend the Darkness Hall.
The price of offending them was the downfall of an established power.
The Darkness Tribunal once again proved its cruelty and ruthlessness with its brutal record, and the name of Black Mountain General Jiang Shan resounded Eastern Region.
In addition, the demise of the Yuwen Family, as a top power in the Eastern Region, also signifies that the Eastern Region will usher in a new power structure.
The Darkness Hall Darkness Hall no attention to this, as it usually occupies a detached position and does not concern itself with the infighting among the various forces within its territory, much like a giant does not care about the ants fighting beneath its feet.
What he needs is submission.
As for those who refuse to submit, they will face punishment from the Darkness Tribunal; this has been the rule of the Northern Xuan Region for thousands of years.
Yuwen Family Manor.
After the destruction of the Yuwen Family, this place became the temporary camp of the Seventh Regiment of the Tribunal Army, with Tribunal Guard constantly coming and going.
Although the referee team annihilated the Yuwen Family in this battle, it was still a major battle, and casualties were inevitable. In addition, the referee team was busy with the matters of reward and punishment after the battle.
"Damn it, we actually let a bunch of remnants escape! This is a disgrace to our Seventh Regiment! First Battalion, Second Camp Commander, chase them! Don't let a single corner of the entire Eastern Region escape!"
Inside a large hall of the manor, the burly Jiang Shan glared at his subordinates, venting his anger as he shouted.
"Yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the two Camp Commander the Death Profound Stage immediately responded respectfully, then turned and led their teams to pursue and kill Yuwen Tuo and the others.
"Regiment Commander Jiang, please don't be too angry. Who knew that Yuwen Hao had set up a spatial Teleportation Array these past few days? It was my oversight that I didn't notice it in time. If the Hall Master blames you, I will explain for you."
Standing to the side, Xu Lie, the master of the Eastern Branch Hall, saw the enraged Jiang Shan and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face before he spoke.
Monitoring the Yuwen Family was originally his responsibility as the Eastern Branch Hall, but he assumed the Yuwen Family was like fish on a chopping board, so he lowered his guard.
Who would have thought that Yuwen Hao had secretly set up a spatial Teleportation Array, abandoning his entire clan so that his son could escape? He was truly decisive and ruthless.
Upon hearing Xu Lie's words, Jiang Shan frowned slightly, then asked, "Hall Master Xu, has Yuwen Hao spoken yet? Where exactly is the Stillness Divine Tablet?"
Their most important task on this trip is the Stillness Divine Tablet, after all, it is Ancient Divine Object on par with the Darkness Hall's ancestral treasure, the Dark Sacred Scythe.
If the Stillness Divine Tablet cannot be obtained, even if the Yuwen Family is destroyed, the mission will be considered a failure, which is something the proud and arrogant Jiang Shan would never allow.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lie shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his lips, and said, "No, Yuwen Hao has already made up his mind to die. No matter how I ask him, he won't say a word."
At this point, Xu Lie's expression also tightened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I suspect that the Stillness Divine Tablet was most likely taken away by that group of remnants of the Yuwen Family."
Damn it!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan slammed his hand down on the table beside him, and the terrifying surge of Yuan energy instantly turned the tabletop into ashes. He then said with a gloomy expression.
"As expected, Yuwen Hao truly deserves to die. Did he really think that the Stillness Divine Tablet was something his Yuwen Family could enjoy? Zhong Kui, have you investigated those remnants of the Yuwen Family thoroughly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Kui, the Camp Commander the Third Battalion, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Reporting to the Regiment Commander, according to some of the captured guards of the Yuwen Family, the leader of the group of the Yuwen Family remnants who left was Yuwen Hao's son, Yuwen Tuo."
Those below him were all loyal servants of the Yuwen Family, the strongest being named Yuwen Zhong, a Death Profound Stage Lesser Success.
"Yuwen Hao's youngest son has Death Profound Stage expert as a guard...?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Yuwen Hao has already planned this out. He intends to create another Yuwen Family and make a comeback."
Therefore, their first priority would definitely be to leave the Northern Xuan Region and even the entire Four Xuan Regions continent, since there is no place for the Yuwen Family in the Northern Xuan Region.
Hmph, Yuwen Hao has a good plan. I need to report this to the Hall Master as soon as possible and use the power of my entire Darkness Hall to search for the remnants of the Yuwen Family.
Otherwise, once those remnants leave the Northern Xuan Region, the Stillness Divine Tablet will likely be lost forever, impossible to find again.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lie, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement, understanding the importance of the matter.
Although the Darkness Hall is undoubtedly the overlord of the Northern Xuan Region, its power is ultimately limited to one region. If the remnants of the Yuwen Family were to go to other Xuan Regions or even the Chaotic Demon Sea, the Darkness Hall's tentacles would not be able to reach there.
Even if the news of the Stillness Divine Tablet spreads, it will attract the covetousness of some top forces in other regions. After all, which of the divine objects on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking does not have miraculous effects? Even experts in the Samsara Stage would be tempted.
Just as the high-ranking officials were discussing, a Tribunal Guard suddenly rushed in from outside the hall, cupped his hands to Jiang Shan and Xu Lie, and then said respectfully.
"Regiment Commander, Lord Xu, the Shadow Guard requests an audience."
"Shadow Guard, what is he doing here?" Jiang Shan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The Shadow Guard is responsible for protecting the trial participants; this is not a place for him to interfere.
"Shadow Guard..." The Tribunal Guard paused slightly, then said, "Shadow Guard said he chased down and killed the remnants of the Yuwen Family and obtained the Stillness Divine Tablet."
"What!?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan and Xu Lie exchanged a glance, their eyes showing surprise.
