Chapter 440


    When Caspian practiced martial arts in the Time Warp Zone, he often used these stone figures.


    Hence, he was extremely familiar with these stone statues.


    Before this, he had never seen them covered in powder before.


    “This is strange…” Caspian walked toward one stone figure and poked at its face.


    The next second, Caspian’s entire finger, without any hindrance, plunged into the stone figure’s face.


    It felt like he was poking a pile of snow, but it was not as cold.


    ”Eh?”


    Caspian blinked and pulled out his finger, and he saw a hole in the stone figure’s face.


    In that instant, he thought of a possibility, and he mumbled to himself, “Seriously? This is it?”


    Then, he reached out and pped the stone figure’s chest


    Bang!


    Without using any martial skill or using much energy, the stone figure crumbled before Caspian’s eyes,


    turning into a pile of dust.


    Soon, Caspian’s eyes shed with surprise and joy, and he hurriedly went toward the next few stone


    figures.


    As he had expected, those stone figures made from hard rock swiftly turned into a pile of ashes with


    just a gentle touch.


    In other words, these stone figures could only maintain their appearances.


    When the Godly Finger of Cruor hit them, their bodies had turned to dust, yet they seemed unharmed.


    If these stone figures were struck by the Pointing to the Stars, they would at most be sted into a few


    pieces but not turned to dust like they were now.


    “I was indeed too naive.” Caspian looked at his finger.


    The improvement in the strength of this spell exceeded his expectation.


    Moreover, not only was the magic skill stronger, but he did not use as much blood and Qi.


    In this way, Caspian could cast this spell multiple times even if there were no monsters to replenish his


    energy.


    After mastering The Godly Finger of Cruor, Caspian practiced the Water Shade for another day.


    Then, Caspian estimated that those wanting to see Xander would have met him already, so he got out


    of the Tower of Life and visited Xander, bringing along a gift.


    Xander had anticipated Caspian’s visit.


    In truth, he was rather shocked to find that Leonard had chosen him as his disciple after returning from


    the Valley of Death.


    After all, Xander believed that Caspian was Leonard’s best choice.


    Nheless, Xander was naturally in a good mood as he was recruited as the Heavenly Stars Sect’s


    swordsman’s personal disciple.


    At this time, his usually aloof expression had turned much gentler than before.


    As the two chatted, Caspian said, “Xander, there’s another reason for my visit today…”


    Xander replied, “Sure.


    Just go ahead.


    I know your character, and I‘ve estimated that you’lle over the next few days.


    If youe a few dayster, I might not be here.”


    A secondter, Xander saw Caspian’s confused expression, and he exined, “Master Leonard hopes


    that I can cultivate at his ce for half a year, and once I ascend to the second-stage Pulse Control


    Realm, he‘ll officially recruit me as his disciple.”


    “Second-stage Pulse Control Realm…” Caspian pondered for a moment, and his eyes shed with


    brilliance.


    “If that’s the case, you’ll already have a spot in the nation’s official religion election next year.”


    Given the rtionship between Xander and Caspian, he naturally would not hide from Caspian, so


    Xander nodded and answered, “Although Master Leonard didn’t say that, I have a feeling that’s what


    he meant.


    I’ll not only have toplete the breakthrough in my realm in the next half a year, but my strength must


    also improve.


    At that time, I can represent the Heavenly Stars Sect and fight for the qualifications of the state


    religion.”


    When he said this, Xander paused, looking at Caspian as he asked, “Casper, I’m sure you won’t let go


    of this chance, right?”


    Xander had witnessed Caspian’s improvement in his realm.


    Before this, no one would have expected that a disciple who had entered the sect for less than a year


    actually leaped from the entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm to the peak in just ten months.


    With this kind of talent and strength, Caspian would definitely get a ce in representing the Heavenly


    Stars Sect as long as he could ascend to the second-stage Pulse Control Realm.


    “I do have this idea,” Caspian nodded.


    There was still more than half a year left, and even though he had a crucial thing to do next, Caspian


    was confident about reaching the second-stage Pulse Control Realm as long as he did not encounter


    major troubles.


    Furthermore, as Hadley’s disciple, if Caspian could not even do this and was not qualified to represent


    Heavenly Stars Sect by then, his teacher might behead Caspian himself just to prevent Caspian from


    humiliating him.


    Xander nodded when he heard Caspian’s reply.


    “If that’s the case, the matter you mentioned before is rted to your ascension?”


    “Not entirely, but it‘s rted to my improvement in strength.” Caspian looked at Xander.


    “Xander, I want to ask whether the method you used to enter the Way of Killing is through, body


    inscriptions?”


    There were many types of inscriptions.


    ording to their efficacy, they could be drawn on precious medicines, known as medicinal


    inscriptions, or implement the patterns on magic weapons, weapon inscriptions.


    Both of these inscription patterns were used to enhance the efficacy and power of the medicines and


    magic weapons or to increase some of their abilities.


    However, there were two more inscriptions that were moreplicated than medicinal and weapon


    inscriptions, body and soul inscriptions.


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    As the name suggested, body inscriptions were the patterns engraved on the body.


    As for the soul inscriptions, it was a high-level technique drawn on the soul.


    Therefore, these two types of inscriptions had extremely high conditions for the inscriber, and they also


    had extremely high requirements for the objects of inscriptions.


    These body inscriptions were engraved on the body, and the painful process was not something that


    anyone could bear.


    It should be known that the process of body inscriptions was continuous, and they could not stop mid-


    way.


    If it was forcibly terminated, the person being drawn would die instantly, and the inscriber would suffer


    an extremely fierce bacsh. Therefore, when engraving body inscriptions, many people died because


    they could not stand the pain, not because of the failure of the inscriptions.


    They either died of pain or actively interfered with the inscriber, seeking death.


    Hence, only one out of a thousand people would sessfully inscribe their bodies.


    If it were not for some special reason, no one would choose to inscribe their body.


    After all, that kind of pain could still make people have nightmares in the middle of the night, even if


    decades had passed.


    When Caspian fell into the underground river, he noticed the twisted inscription pattern on Xander.


    Hence, Caspian, who had absorbed the memory of an inscription master, recognized that the lines on


    Xander’s body were known as Vicious Body Inscription.


    These patterns turned him into an invincible deity.


    Noticing that Xander was quiet, Caspian sighed before exining, “Xander, I know some things should


    be kept private, but I also know that anyone who had body inscriptions will inevitably bear a national


    interest or family feud, or even both of them.


    I’m asking you naturally because I’m also burdened by something, and I hope I can solve it more


    properly.”
