Chapter 677: Chapter 677 Stone Figure Mutation

Emperor Tianshu said that once you get the Dark Domain Lotus Seed, you must eat it right away, otherwise, once the Dark Domain Lotus Seed leaves the Gou Li Nest, it will dissipate slowly due to environmental influences.

Lin Shen extended his hand to pry the black gem-like Dark Domain Lotus Seed from the forehead of the Wu Mian stone man.

The Dark Domain Lotus Seed was half embedded in stone, but it was not firmly fixed; Lin Shen gently applied force and pulled it out whole.

Its shape was that of a lotus seed, oval, about two centimeters long and less than one centimeter wide.

Although it was a black crystal, one could see a vertical white luminous crystal column in the middle of the crystal, with white light flowing inside of it.

If you looked at it from the top of the oval, it resembled a black eye with a white pupil emitting fluorescent light.

It clearly was a crystal, but when Lin Shen held it in his hand, it felt as if he was holding air, unable to feel the slightest weight.

If you closed your eyes, you wouldn’t even be aware of its presence; it was lighter than air.

This was a very mysterious experience; you wouldn’t even know if it really existed in the world, as its existence seemed illusory and unreal.

Without any hesitation, Lin Shen put the Dark Domain Lotus Seed into his mouth, wanting to swallow it.

However, Lin Shen only felt as if he had swallowed a ball of air, and then he felt a surge of energy flux within his body.

Lin Shen endured it for a while but eventually couldn’t hold back; he let out a series of loud farts, one after another, as if fireworks were exploding.

Lin Shen even began to doubt whether his clothes would be torn apart.

Fortunately, today he had come here dressed formally, wearing the battle suit given to him by Emperor Tianshu, which wouldn’t tear easily.

The gases in Lin Shen’s stomach increased, with the farts continuing incessantly; as the gases were expelled, Lin Shen didn’t know if he was experiencing an illusion, but he felt as though his weight was getting lighter and that he was about to float off, as if a gentle breeze could carry him away.

Just as he was preparing to leave, Lin Shen glanced back at the stone coffin and discovered that the Wu Mian stone man inside was covered with dense black and red lines.

The black and red lines resembled a diagram of a body’s veins and arteries, but their paths were clearly different from those of blood vessels.

“What is this?” Lin Shen bent down to look carefully for a while, but still couldn’t figure out what those black and red lines were.

However, it was clear that these lines originated from where the Dark Domain Lotus Seed had been embedded.

The black and red lines spread like roots on the Wu Mian stone man’s body, threatening to cover its entire body soon.

The black and red lines intertwined but did not affect each other; after filling the stone man’s entire body, they formed two completely different systems, as if some kind of energy was circulating between the black and red lines.

In the small circular hollow where the seed had previously been, both red and black colors appeared, resembling the pattern of Yin Yang fish.

More eerily, the black and red Yin Yang fish were slowly rotating; as the Yin Yang fish spun, the black and red lines continued to evolve.

Some black lines gradually turned red, while some red lines also transformed into black.

Lin Shen could clearly feel that the abnormal energy in the cave had grown stronger; fortunately, the Evolution Theory had gradually adapted to the energy’s impact on the body. Lin Shen only felt cold and hot energies constantly shifting without being greatly affected.

This reminded Lin Shen of the two fish at the top of the Ascension Pool mountain, one of which had even spat at him.

As Lin Shen watched, he suddenly noticed small red dots, resembling acupoints, appearing on the stone figure.

“Huh… How could a stone figure have acupoints… Could it be that it wasn’t carved by humans… but is a kind of stone creature…” Lin Shen was startled in his heart.

But he immediately realized something was amiss, for there were many acupoint red dots on the stone figure, an unimaginably large number.

If this stone figure were truly alive, then it would have too many acupoints and weak spots, even on its face and the soles of its feet, there were quite a few red dots.

What was even stranger, those acupoint red dots were all distributed along red and black lines, like individual nodes.

“What exactly is this stone figure?” Lin Shen grew more and more astonished, hesitated for a moment, and then touched one of the red dots.

The acupoint red dot he touched was on a red line on the arm, and as soon as he touched it, it indeed had an effect.

After he touched the red dot, the red line behind the dot started to dry up and disappear like a stream cut off from its source.

Lin Shen touched the red dot again, lifting the acupoint’s restriction, and the vanished red line slowly resurfaced.

He tried several more times in succession, touching different red and black line acupoints, and the result caused different positioned black and red lines to disappear.

Some acupoints had fewer corresponding red and black lines, while touching others would make many of the red and black lines disappear, even causing all the red and black lines on one half of the stone figure’s body to vanish.

“This thing… could it actually be an acupoint chart…” After studying it for a while, Lin Shen concluded it seemed to be the case.

“Could it be… that acupoints really exist… and are not just a power illusion created by Fire Seed…” The more Lin Shen observed, the stranger it seemed, as each acupoint appeared to have a different function.

However, Lin Shen had yet to figure out the exact use of these acupoints.

Though he didn’t understand, this thing seemed related to Acupoint Sealing, so Lin Shen decided to record them all.

He then pulled out a notebook, sketched all the acupoint charts, and went on to touch those acupoints again, recording the patterns in which the red and black lines disappeared.

“What would happen if all the acupoints were sealed?” After recording all the acupoints and the red and black lines they controlled, Lin Shen moved as swift as the wind, following the flow direction of the black and red lines, touching every acupoint in turn.

The black and red lines grew fewer and fewer until, at last, all the black and red lines on the stone figure’s body completely vanished.

The mixture of black and red in the groove on the stone figure’s forehead became denser, as if it was about to overflow.

Crack!

The face of the stone figure, void of any features, suddenly split open from the middle, like a robot’s faceplate opening to both sides, revealing a space the size of a fist beneath the face.

Something was stuffed inside, which looked like a kind of silk product.

Lin Shen pulled out his Scrap Sword, stood at a distance, and carefully used the tip of the sword to lift out the object from inside.
