Chapter 874: Preparation
Once Tao Ba had left the two of them dropped their subservient attitudes. Feiyan looked at the Stone Tablet with the sharp and inquisitive eyes of a researcher. She was the head researcher and had been for centuries before she was chosen to carry out his backup plan. Her hunger to explain the unexplainable was quite great, but it was also tempered by her management skills. She would never have become the head researcher if she couldnt properly control her own desires. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
The Stone Tablet was not a foreign object to her. She had already seen the results of prior research that had been conducted upon it. One of the young and reckless researchers had even gone against the rules and attempted to challenge it long ago. That fellow had given them a lot of data, once blood was combined with the Tablet he had entered a sort of stasis for a whole year. At the end of that year the man had suddenly dropped dead, his mind and soul erased without any harm being done to his body. They had gathered a lot of information from studying the man over the course of that year, which is why Feiyan could easily curb the desire to study the tablet more. Lang Sheng had introduced this object to the research institute many thousands of years before Feiyan had even been born so it was something of an ancient relic to them. She had never expected it to be the source of a possible apocalypse, and she was even less prepared to be chosen as the heir to the collected knowledge of her whole world. Even so, her position was high enough to know the truth about her world and the existence of another Lang Clan.
For her, they were legendary ancestors that had each created their own techniques that spawned a whole school. These ancestors were from more than ten thousand years ago and only a few members of the clan that were lucky enough to become Nascent Souls remembered the time when they were around. It was quite astounding to learn that they hadnt died, but were instead alive and well. It was even more amazing to know that in the world they went to it had been only a few decades. These legends were alive and well and had no idea that hundreds of generations of their progeny had thrived and taken their creations to whole new levels.
Sage didnt wait around to get hunted down and immediately fled from the Holy Flame Sect. He returned back to the Dou Kingdom which he had fled when the Lang Clan was wiped out. That had been a naive decision and led to many other difficulties, but that wasnt important anymore. What was more telling was that hed retained the cause of all these troubles ever since that time and had never been willing to subject himself to the danger of using it. Tao Ba had been able to translate the introduction and its contents had been enough to keep Sage from trying it out. Just like when Tao Ba sent his Qi into it earlier, it projected a set of information that gave its conditions.
A mysterious person, the Essence Sculptor, required a person to swear fealty to them as their Master and apply their blood to the Stone Tablet. Then, they would undergo a special trial. They would have one year to learn the Essence Sculptors technique. If they fail, they die.
It was such a vicious and final course of action that Sage had never been desperate or confident enough to make the attempt. Along with many other things, hed given it to the research institute to study. Hed hoped they could perhaps crack open its methods. Was it a doorway to a pocket dimension? A portal to another place? A sophisticated mental space? He had no idea how the trial was supposed to work or what it could do. He had only the word of Tao Ba on what it said and that it was genuine. So, he hoped the researchers could fill some of those holes in his understanding. Unfortunately, one of the youngsters was too ambitious and suffered the ultimate price for it. Theyd made far more progress on their research at that point, but it also proved how dangerous it was and caused them to improve their security measures.
They couldnt confirm how the Stone Tablet worked in its entirety, but from the year of observation as well as the final state that it left the youngsters body in, they concluded that it drew the mind and soul inside of itself. If the test failed, then that mind and soul never came back out again.
