The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 52 Nine-aperture Stone Man
Zhang Shuo ignored them and went straight to the location of the nine-orifice stone man. He opened his Divine Pupil of Creation and combined it with the Source Technique to carefully observe the nine-orifice stone man.

This nine-orifice stone man is about one foot long, with nine orifices and eight holes. It is surrounded by the essence of the sun and the moon, just like a human-shaped stone created by heaven and earth.

After being shocked by Zhang Shuo's bodyguard, everyone reacted. Seeing that Zhang Shuo was interested in the nine-orifice stone man, they all gathered around to watch the fun, but they did not dare to continue talking about buying medicine.

The person in charge of the Tianzihao Stone Garden of Daoyi Stone Workshop followed Zhang Shuo and introduced the situation of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man to him. With the insight of the Divine Eye of Creation, Zhang Shuo saw that this Nine-Aperture Stone Man only had a faint spiritual aura between the eyebrows. The other places seemed to be lingering with mist, but in fact there was no spiritual energy being absorbed or exhaled.

Combining the source technique that Zhang Shuo learned, it can be discovered that this should be the Holy Spirit that has just been born in heaven and earth. The immortal gold at the center of the eyebrows and the spirituality nurtured by the principles of heaven and earth all indicate that this Holy Spirit has just been conceived. Afterwards, the immortal gold should gradually grow until it fills the entire nine-orifice stone man, and the spirituality transforms into the consciousness of the birth of the soul.

After observing and verifying the source technique he had learned, Zhang Shuo waved his sleeves and a pile of sources appeared on the stone platform. He said to the person in charge of the stone workshop of Daoyi Holy Land:

"I bought this nine-hole stone man."

Rich essence gushed out from the large amount of source that Zhang Shuo took out. The large amount of gathered essence turned into auspicious light, and the large amount of source piled on the stone platform was touching.

The people watching on the side didn't think much of it. After all, Zhang Shuo had gained much more than that along the way. Just a few precious elixirs that could prolong life were priceless.

The playful girl was a little surprised. Although she knew from the crowd that Zhang Shuo had made a lot of money along the way, it was still surprising that he could take out so many resources at one time. Even if she was the direct descendant of an ancient family, she did not have so many resources to use for gambling on stones.

"Is he so confident that he can make money by using so many resources at once?" The playful girl looked at Zhang Shuo's indifferent expression and was a little curious about him.

Zhang Shuo bought the Nine-Aperture Stone Man and thought for a moment before taking out the special stone-cutting knife he had prepared. This was a knife that Zhang Shuo had made using the Purple Jade King's method of refining stone-cutting tools as described in the Source Book of Heaven.

Those present were all from major forces and they quickly recognized the material of Zhang Shuo's knife. They looked at each other and then at Zhang Shuo's protector, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.

"A saintly protector who is so wealthy and generous as to use saint-level divine materials. Could this person be the genius of the demon race that has been rumored recently?"

Someone quickly guessed Zhang Shuo's identity, and finally secretly sensed Zhang Shuo's breath. However, with Zhang Shuo's ability, no one could detect anything if he didn't want to.

Zhang Shuo waved the jade knife and slowly cut away the stone skin from the head of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man. A large amount of stone skin fell down and soon pierced through the center of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man's eyebrows.

"Crack!"

With one cut, Zhang Shuo took out a silkworm pupa-like object from between the stone man's eyebrows. It was only an inch long and half an inch thick.

The entire silkworm pupa is dark gold in color, emitting a dazzling light and exuding terrifying sword energy.

Zhang Shuo did not continue to use the knife but instead used the special source technique in the Source Book to seal the silkworm pupa, and injected a large amount of vitality into the silkworm pupa to nourish it.

This silkworm pupa is the divine fetus of the Holy Spirit. In the original novel, when Ye Fan cut open the silkworm pupa, he burst into a terrible murderous intent, which was the hatred of the Holy Spirit of Death. The moment the Nine-Aperture Stone Man was cut open, it meant that it had failed to breed. However, Zhang Shuo was able to continue to cultivate the Holy Spirit with only the silkworm pupa left, so he did not make the last cut to completely kill the Holy Spirit.

Afterwards, Zhang Shuo put the silkworm pupa into the space, placed it next to the dragon marrow crystal, and sealed it with a large piece of pure source to nurture it. Around the dragon marrow crystal, there was an array source technique specially arranged by Zhang Shuo to help the Holy Spirit grow.

"Sir, don't you plan to cut open the silkworm pupa and take a look?" The onlookers knew that the silkworm pupa taken out from the center of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man's eyebrows was a good thing, especially because the appearance of the silkworm pupa was very eye-catching. Everyone thought that Zhang Shuo would continue to cut open the silkworm pupa, but unexpectedly, Zhang Shuo put it away.

"There's no need for that. The silkworm pupa will be useless once it breaks." Zhang Shuo was not worried that not continuing to untie the silkworm pupa would break the rules of the stone shop, because the stone shop only required that the stone skin be untied in public when gambling on stones, and did not require the item to be completely untied.

Of course, everyone understood this truth. Of course, if it were ordinary people, they would force the other party to untie the silkworm chrysalis. However, everyone who had just been taught a lesson knew that Zhang Shuo was not someone they could force.

The remaining nine-orifice stone men were of no use, but Zhang Shuo did not sell them. Because the silkworm chrysalis was not released to release the dragon-patterned black gold sword, the remaining nine-orifice stone men lost a large part of their appeal.

Even though everyone thought there were good things inside the silkworm pupa, without actually confirming the condition of the pupa, they naturally wouldn't be too enthusiastic about the remaining nine-orifice stone man.

Zhang Shuo continued to unravel the remaining parts of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man. Although it could sell for a lot of resources, Zhang Shuo wanted to thoroughly understand the composition of the stone fetus that gave birth to the Holy Spirit.

So while Zhang Shuo was untying the Nine-Aperture Stone Man, he used the Divine Eyes of Creation to understand its specific structure and the Dao marks imprinted in it, and he also used the Jade Disc of Creation to replicate all of its structural imprints.

If one could thoroughly understand the mystery of the birth of the Holy Spirit of Heaven and Earth, it would be of great help in analyzing the laws of the world of Shrouding the Sky.

Soon Zhang Shuo completely untied the Nine-Aperture Stone Man. When everyone saw that they had gained nothing from the remaining parts, they did not laugh at Zhang Shuo because they were not fools.

The things that come out of this nine-orifice stone man will be good. Previously, people were afraid that it was just for show, and the price was too high so no one touched it.

There were many source masters who came here after hearing the news, and they knew that the less the remaining harvest was, the more valuable the silkworm pupa was. Although others could not directly understand this situation, they also roughly knew that Zhang Shuo should not have suffered any losses.

Zhang Shuo then started to stroll around the stone garden again, and everyone followed him, because everyone understood that Zhang Shuo should have a high level of attainment in source arts, and following him might lead to some good things that could be bought.

The person in charge of Daoyi Holy Land was twitching inwardly. After all, a powerful source magician could take away most of the good things in their stone shop. This would lead to a serious consequence. That is, after the monks knew about it, they would think that the gambling stones that the source magician did not touch would be useless. Then, was there no good things left in the stone shop of Daoyi Holy Land?

Someone would definitely think of such a situation. At that time, the income of the stone shop of Daoyi Holy Land would drop sharply. Then, as the person in charge of the stone shop, she would have a hard time explaining to the Holy Land.

Thinking of this, she looked at the protector next to Zhang Shuo again. The terrifying pressure from before forced her to suppress the dark thoughts in her heart. After all, if the income of the stone shop decreased, she would only be punished by the holy land, but if she wanted to cause trouble for the young man, she would be courting death.
