Stranger Danger

The bracelet on the woman’s neck was cyan, the one on her left wrist was black, the one on her right wrist was red, the one on her left ankle was gold, and the one on her right ankle was yellow.

All five bracelets contained an unimaginable amount of power. They were all different powers as well. The cyan bracelet was full of life, the black bracelet was ice cold, the red bracelet was fiery and explosive, the gold bracelet was sharp beyond measure, and the yellow bracelet was thick, dense, and heavy.

The powers were extremely withdrawn and quite stable, however. One would not notice their presences unless they were paying attention.

“Is this… what they call a Celestial Restricting Bracelet?” Cyan Radiance Superior Celestial recalled something and blurted.

“That’s right. It is the Celestial Restricting Bracelet!” Jiang Yunlai declared affirmatively. “My ancestor’s notebook mentioned about the Celestial Restricting Bracelets. The description is a perfect match.”

The Celestial Restricting Bracelet was exactly what it sounded like. It was an object used to shackle and restrict celestials in ancient times. Despite its name, it was not one object, but a set of five objects. Each bracelet was a match of the elements in the Five Phases—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. Together, they could restrict celestials and seal away gods. That was why the bracelets were also called the Five Phases Celestial Restricting Bracelet.

In ancient times, celestials, gods and demons used to interact with each other quite frequently. It was common for wars to break out between them. Naturally, the gods and the demons researched various methods to deal with the celestials, and the Celestial Restricting Bracelet was one of them. It was used to suppress, restrict, and imprison a celestial.

A celestial was a human who had attained perfection in their Way and become a celestial, and a human was composed of the Five Phases. They were creations of the world who could encompass all Ways and arts. That was why the Celestial Restricting Bracelet was forged using five spiritual objects with innate elements of the Five Phases. It was because each element in the Five Phases was the catalyst of one element, and the bane of another.

The Celestial Restricting Bracelet could perfectly shackle a celestial’s body and imprison their mind and soul. Not even their celestial arts and Magia were available to them. While shackled by the Celestial Restricting Bracelet, the only thing a celestial could do was to submit to their fate.
