Chapter 226 - 15: Breaking the Deadlock
"Godfather, what’s this Saturn Seal all about? It looks quite similar to the Format Ring’s technique!"
In the private study of the Great Immortal Huang at Xuanyuan Mound, Jing Hang held a worn-out book titled Ancient Marvelous Techniques: A Compendium and asked curiously.
"Bring it here. Let me take a look."
The Great Immortal Huang, lying lazily on a rocking chair and half-asleep, stretched out his hand. He took the book from Jing Hang with little enthusiasm.
"This, huh? It’s just like that Format Ring—another one of those shady, smoke-and-mirrors forbidden sealing techniques that require human sacrifices."
"Human sacrifices?"
"Exactly. It’s written right here, isn’t it? ’Two Yin, two Chen, one You, five men in total, arranged in a pentagram formation, each occupying the positions of Water and Earth to complete the ring... By sacrificing lives, the seal is formed. Even someone with the strength to move mountains and cross seas would be bound by it.’ Hah! Sounds impressive, but it’s really just that—overhyped. The cost is too high, its use is too niche, and it’s too easy to break. Not worth much."
The Great Immortal Huang yawned, clearly unimpressed.
"What if I encounter it? How do I break it?" Jing Hang asked.
"Use your head, you blockhead! This sealing technique is obviously outdated. It was probably developed before the Shadow Clone Jutsu was even invented.
If you reverse-engineer the structure of the technique, you’ll see it’s designed to seal chakra energy as its target. The seal has vulnerabilities both above and below it. Here’s what you do: create a shadow clone with the same amount of chakra as yourself to act as the target for the seal. Then, have your main body either escape into the sky or burrow underground. That way, you’ll be safe."
