"The treasure of Tai Hao emerges from the Innate, the true repository of Fu Xi hides within the Yellow River! The River Chart within the belly conceals creation, the eyes lock the Heavenly Immortal with Qiankun!
Before Gods and Demons are aware, the thread moves first, as the Nascent Soul seeks to flee, the net is already in place! The four symbols combine to imprison the Heavenly Realm, the vast net covers the great thousand worlds!
Haha! Haha! Hahaha! Fu Xi’s treasure, Tai Hao’s Pearl! Finally falls into my hands! Integration is within sight! My Dao is achieved!"
Xianwei was so happy that his mouth couldn’t close, as if he was petting a cat, incessantly fondling that spider head, seemingly wanting to give it a good inhale. Indeed, he was satisfied beyond measure.
Tie Dan sat there, looking down at the chains wrapped around him.
He recognized this trick immediately, as it was also recorded in the Lingxu Daoist Collection. It is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation from the Ancient Immortal Palace period, as the name implies, using the Primordial Spirit to create shackles, sealing the Eight Gates, specifically used to lock and capture monsters, bind immortals and demons with secret technique and Immortal Law. It’s quite effective for one-on-one duels, but once caught by it, one is quickly transported to the afterlife.
However, this move is notoriously hard to practice, high investment with low returns, long casting time and cooldown. No matter how proficiently practiced, it cannot bring longevity and robustness, and can only control those in the realm not exceeding one’s own. If the spell is not continuously maintained, one reckless move might allow the opponent to escape.
Moreover, in a contest of spells, there should be a conclusion of victory and defeat, but what’s the point in just binding someone? So eventually, this move was gradually replaced by items like Immortal Binding Rope and Dragon Trapping Rope.
Recognizing it is one thing, but breaking free is another. Now with Xianwei using just this move to lock the Eight Gates completely, sealing the Qi body’s pulses, cutting off the connection between spiritual bodies, it would be difficult for even Daluo Immortals to escape.
What’s more, this old monster is essentially a parasitic bug, and at this moment, Tie Dan could clearly feel sticky, slippery, large bundles of threadworm emerging from who knows where, converging from all directions, rolling like waves, already wrapping around his body, desperately trying to drill into Yazi’s body, but momentarily blocked by the Dragon Scale Armor, tempered over five hundred years, unable yet to find an opening to break defense.
But none of these concerns matter, the true conundrum is the spider silk.
Indeed, even as Spider Xi has been split into two halves, the spirit cannot die within the garden’s setting. Therefore, the threads it spun, the webs it wove, continue to exist.
The Tai Hao Spider Silk is omnipresent, inexhaustible, Tie Dan couldn’t discern any flaw, thinking he was finally free, yet always tethered by threads, potentially pulled into a trap at any moment, utterly profound and elusive, no matter the struggle, bound tighter by the net, entangling more firmly. Now under the spider head’s watchful gaze, Tie Dan felt not a hint of resistance, not from fear but because the sensation was quite pleasant, not wishing to oppose...
Ahem, Tie Dan was certainly not activated with any odd proclivities, it was genuinely and literally comfortable, without any implied meanings.
How to describe it, like soaking in warm sunlight on a cozy afternoon, belly full, drowsiness overwhelming, the previously ferocious Yazi, now quiet and docile, like a tame big dog, basking together with you in the sun, body unwilling to move, numbing both man and dragon, devoid of any desire for battle, as if having never slept so well before. How can one conquer others when defeated by mere comfort?
Yes, this is the unique skill of Spider Xi, the Tai Hao Clan’s Non-violence Non-resistance Primordial Spirit Technique.
Indeed, the sentiment of the spider silk is indeed somewhat uncanny, firmly avoiding the path of violent confrontation, delivering from the other end of the thread comes, warm camaraderie, brotherly understanding, pure justice, and genuine love to transform you. For Tie Dan, this was truly an unprecedented novel experience.
Honestly, in five hundred years of life, Tie Dan rarely felt such intense and warm emotions, as he physiologically couldn’t feel them. A Dragon Seed’s life was dominated by slaughter, violent desires, madness, chopping away mercilessly, only bloodshed, only torment, only killing brought joy!
Yet at this moment, here, Tie Dan was overwhelmed by Spider Xi, no, by Xianwei’s full force output from the spider head, feeling unprecedented peace and warmth from the spider silk.
Even as the spider head still dripped with blood, he felt no anger, despair, or pain. Instead, increasingly bound by the sincere warmth transmitted from the spider silk, just wanting to remain in the moment, stay here and now, trapped in the comforting and calming web, never wishing to struggle or strive again...
"Hehe, not bad, not bad, Collection of Wonders from All Realms, Tai Hao Divine Spider truly extraordinary! This Tai Hao Spider indeed is genuine!
This spider has obtained an Ancient legacy, exceptional talent, mutant evolution, integrating spider web principles into Primordial Spirit Techniques! Once successful, it can invisibly paralyze prey’s spirit, wear down opponent’s will!
Hehe, Fellow Daoist, you might not know, their clan has another name, Dragon Catching Spider! Truly your nemesis, right!
Even the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Beast that has refined God and returned to Void can be captured and devoured! Any divine being, as long as not reaching Body Integration Realm, willingly falls into the net, ultimately devoured by group spiders, becoming an empty shell!
Hehehe haha! If I can refine this spider as my Second Primordial Spirit! And bind you, the top aggressive True Dragon body! This old man will surely reach Integration Realm! Dominate the Chaotic Star Sea Mouth too!!"
