Chapter 260 253: Reshape
The six of them sat down in their respective positions by the six Blood Banners. All preparations were complete.
Daoist Bailong, meanwhile, went to Jiang Jiushan and Ji Yunzhou and sat down cross-legged before them.
"Everyone, channel your Life Magnetic Fields into the eyes of the array."
Daoist Bailong said.
The six nodded in unison. Their magnetic fields surged forth, pouring into the Yellow Paper Blood Banners beside them.
WHOOSH!!
A crimson light erupted from the Yellow Paper Blood Banners. They began to whip about as if in a strong wind, snapping loudly.
HUMMM!
High above, the six faint, silvery-white beams of Starlight suddenly blazed, becoming as dazzling as six celestial pillars that illuminated the entire courtyard. The anomaly even drew the attention of the security agency personnel stationed at the foot of the mountain.
Hiding far off to the side, A Mu and Xiaoyuan were inevitably caught in the Starlight as well. A pleasant warmth spread through them, and they could feel their vitality stirring. The day's fatigue seemed to lessen considerably. It wasn't that the Energy inside them had increased; rather, its circulation had become smoother, tuning their bodies to an optimal state.
They exchanged a glance, each seeing the astonishment in the other's eyes.
The wonders of nature are beyond imagination. Humans can enhance their physical abilities by eating food and cure diseases by taking medicine. Similarly, they can regulate their bodies by absorbing magnetic fields. Modern medicine has many such examples, and the ancients spoke of a state called 'Qi Immortal'.
Limited by their knowledge, the ancients could only describe the ubiquitous magnetic fields they sensed around them as "qi." In reality, the principle is the same.
The magnetic field projected onto the earth by the Southern Dipper Six Stars is similar to the human body's own Life Magnetic Field. Through their interaction, it can regulate the Life Magnetic Field, promote physical healing, and perform other such functions.
The ancients may have been unenlightened, but some of their words still held a measure of truth.
Bathed in the light of the Southern Dipper Six Stars, Zhou Yuanjue also felt an immense sense of comfort. It was as if his body's magnetic field was being caressed by a pair of gentle hands, smoothing out blockages and areas of stagnation.
However, he didn't allow himself to become immersed in this feeling. Instead, he tried to seek out the source of the magnetic field.
He discovered, however, that even with the array amplifying the Star Magnetic Field's intensity, truly grasping it was no easy task.
The Star Magnetic Field originated from beyond the heavens, making it inherently difficult to fathom. Moreover, he had never undergone any relevant training, and his own path of manipulating magnetic fields had nothing to do with the stars, which made perceiving and capturing it especially difficult.
He knew that the secret arts of some Martial Arts Schools were related to the stars—the Southern Dipper, Beidou, the sun, and the moon. However, these schools typically required long periods of training: "gathering light" at specific times and in specific ways to forge a connection between one's own magnetic field and the Starlight, thus allowing them to borrow a fraction of its power.
This wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.
'It seems the bloodline of a Spirit Guardian is truly terrifying. Daoist Bailong doesn't need any secret arts to freely perceive and manipulate all sorts of magnetic fields. His abilities are simply unfathomable.'
But difficulty didn't mean Zhou Yuanjue would give up. Seizing this golden opportunity, he calmed his mind and did his utmost to familiarize himself with and capture the fluctuations.
He had always believed that anything a Spirit Guardian could do, an ordinary human could achieve as well.
As Zhou Yuanjue began to sense the magnetic field, Daoist Bailong's expression grew grim. He took a roll of Silver Needles from his robes and began inserting them one after another into various points on Jiang Jiushan's and Ji Yunzhou's bodies. The dense cluster of needles glinted under the starlight.
"Go!"
With everything in place, Daoist Bailong formed a Hand Seal and flicked a finger.
BOOM!
The descending Starlight was instantly guided by Daoist Bailong. The numerous Silver Needles on Jiang Jiushan's and Ji Yunzhou's bodies acted like antennas, becoming conduits for the Starlight to pour through.
Silvery light cascaded down like a waterfall!
The immense magnetic field began to affect both of their bodies.
THUMP!
The first to react was Jiang Jiushan. His physical injuries had, in fact, already healed; it was only because his Life Magnetic Field was weak and his Spirit had been extinguished that he had yet to awaken.
Now, stimulated by the magnetic field of the Southern Dipper Six Stars, his Life Magnetic Field began to recover rapidly. His powerful physique, like a slumbering beast, was slowly stirring. His heart began to pound violently, and his once sluggish blood began to race through his veins. A strange sensation spread through him.
The recovery of his body successfully roused his Spirit, which also began to awaken from a state of deep slumber.
Daoist Bailong glanced at Jiang Jiushan once before turning his attention away. He knew Jiang Jiushan's condition wasn't critical. Even without the Southern Dipper Tribulation Array, he would have eventually woken up on his own; it just would have taken a very long time.
The one he truly needed to worry about was Ji Yunzhou.
First, the first Spirit.
The Shi Gou!
Daoist Bailong took a deep breath, his expression grave. He focused his perception entirely on Ji Yunzhou's condition. His hands became a blur, leaving afterimages in the starlight as he constantly shifted the positions of the Silver Needles on Ji Yunzhou's body. He did this to regulate the location and intensity of the infused Star Magnetic Field, thereby restoring order to a specific magnetic field within his body.
Only a Spirit Guardian like him, one who possessed a natural affinity for magnetic fields, could perform such a feat. Any other Martial Artist would find it impossible to perceive the magnetic field with such fine detail, let alone perform such a difficult procedure.
This was infinitely more difficult than surgery. This was performing an operation on a human's Life Magnetic Field.
Fortunately, the old Daoist was himself skilled in the medical arts.
Time ticked by, second by second. With each dazzling repositioning of the Silver Needles, the magnetic field of the Southern Dipper Six Stars worked to restore order, gradually mending the chaotic magnetic fields within Ji Yunzhou's body.
「Half an hour later.」
Ji Yunzhou's body suddenly jolted. The Shi Gou Spirit was completely restored. The corresponding bodily functions began to return to normal, stabilizing his condition.
The second Spirit!
The third Spirit!
The fourth Spirit!
...
Four hours passed. The long night was nearing its end. Daoist Bailong's white Daoist Robe was soaked with sweat, his elegant white hair plastered to his face. His expression was incredibly grim.
Finally, with a powerful THUMP, Ji Yunzhou's heart gave a mighty beat. His body's magnetic field was almost completely restored, and his bodily functions had fully recovered. He was beginning to self-repair.
Daoist Bailong let out a long breath. As long as Ji Yunzhou's body began to repair itself, then with a physique like his, he could recover from any injury, no matter how severe.
Reshaping the Seven Spirits was a godlike feat. Even for someone as mysterious as Daoist Bailong, it was no easy task.
The Bloodline of a Spirit Guardian, the assistance of six Saint Awakening Level masters, and formidable medical skill and perception—not a single element could have been missing.
HUMMM!
At that very moment, Jiang Jiushan, who had been nourished by the starlight all night, also began to change.
A golden radiance began to emanate from his body, a transformation brought on by the stimulation of his magnetic field.
SWISH!
The next moment, Jiang Jiushan abruptly sat up on the stretcher.
He crossed his legs, placed one palm on his knee, and held his other hand before his chest, his fingers poised as if holding a flower.
His eyes were closed, but his expression was serene, like a Buddha who has attained the Dao.
The golden light spread out, illuminating the surroundings. Vaguely, a tall and stately Dharma form materialized around him.
Evil Ghosts scattered before it; no wickedness could breach it.
A wisdom and awakening that illuminated all of history.
This was the Dharma form of the Ksitigarbha King.
