Chapter 441: Chapter 233 Sighing Mother Wall_3

Li Chengfeng slowly tilted the bottle mouth toward the water tank.

Plop.

A drop of acid dripped into the water tank,

and the four submerged Spiritual Communication Characteristics began to emit a faint white glow.

Plop, plop, plop.

Li Chengfeng increased the speed of dripping the acid,

letting several consecutive drops fall into the water tank.

The glow of the Spiritual Communication Characteristics started to intensify. United against the acid, the four characteristics seemed to join forces, emitting the same level of brightness to resist the invasion of the acid.

And then, a surge of power erupted.

Zhou Xuan closed his eyes to perceive. This time, he didn’t fully unleash his perception—he held back, wary of disturbing the others in the laboratory.

The energy of the Spiritual Communication Characteristics flowed like a chilling wind, blending with Zhou Xuan’s perception. The piercing cold began to wrap around him as the force spread.

"This isn’t right. Completely isn’t right."

When Zhou Xuan faced the Great Heavenly King, he sensed rugged, gravelly energy—yet upon closer inspection, it was imbued with a rich Buddhist essence.

Now, the power from the fusion of the four Spiritual Communication Characteristics felt cold and eerie. If it crawled across his skin unchecked, it left an unsettling impression.

"It doesn’t match."

"Doesn’t match at all?"

"Yes, not at all."

Zhou Xuan opened his eyes, lightly tapping the water tank, and said, "Old Li, this time, the path of your experiment went astray."

"That shouldn’t be the case. The Buddha’s fragments triggered a reaction in the corpses of these four Spiritual Communication Characteristics."

"But the essence is completely off... Uh... let me think carefully."

Zhou Xuan propped his chin in his hand, assuming a pensive posture, deeply lost in thought.

The four Spiritual Communication Characteristics, as verified through Bone Elder’s experiments—all possessed fragments of Buddha’s power attribute.

Yet, their combined traits, compared to Zhou Xuan’s experience with the Great Heavenly King, were worlds apart in terms of essence.

Why was this?

Zhou Xuan fell deeper into reflection, continuously reshuffling hypotheses in his mind.

Finally, Zhou Xuan thought about the Daoist’s Spiritual Communication Characteristics.

When Daoists descend into the human world, they arrive without incense or flame; after choosing a Tangkou at random, they begin cultivating incense offerings.

"How do Daoists choose? Could it involve some form of replicating incense?"

This bold conjecture made Zhou Xuan’s eyes gleam. He connected the Daoist to the Buddha’s fragments.

If incense could be replicated, could Spiritual Communication Characteristics also be replicated?

He snapped his fingers and said to Li Chengfeng, "Old Li, I think I’ve figured it out."

"Figured what out?"

"I have a hypothesis. If Buddha’s power attribute is replication of Spiritual Communication Characteristics, wouldn’t that explain the bizarre phenomena?"

Zhou Xuan’s assumption made Li Chengfeng pause.

Soon after, Li Chengfeng agreed Zhou Xuan was on the right track.

If Buddha’s power was replication, then after Buddha’s fragments entered the corpses of the four Spiritual Communication Characteristics, they replicated the original traits within the corpses, allowing them to behave as if alive.

"But since it’s replication, Buddha’s characteristics are inherently different from Spiritual Communication Characteristics. Thus, after the fusion of the four traits, their combined energy wouldn’t have the slightest connection to Buddha’s original attributes."

"Replication is the power of Buddha. Daoists might operate similarly. This complicates matters."

Zhou Xuan needed to identify Buddha’s power attribute and then use a similar attribute to unlock the gates of the Tattoo Forbidden Land.

Currently, this type of power attribute existed in Jing Country only among Daoists. How could he capture a Daoist and borrow their strength?

For a moment, Zhou Xuan felt as though he had hit a dead end.

"Replicating Spiritual Communication Characteristics..."

Zhou Xuan murmured Buddha’s power attribute under his breath. As he continued, he remembered the Sighing Mother Wall and asked Li Chengfeng, "Old Li, does the Sighing Mother Wall have a Spiritual Communication Characteristic?"

"It does. Its characteristic lies in unveiling the mysteries of flesh—it’s essentially a massive living entity."

"Then here’s the issue: if its characteristic reveals the mysteries of flesh, how does it produce so many First Generation Bone Elders? Most First Generation Bone Elders belong to the Praying Sect, which shares similarities to your Spiritual Communication Characteristics—they’re born with an innate ability to perceive beyond the Starry Sky."

"Huh?"

"I suspect that the Sighing Mother Wall also understands the power of replication—it replicated the Spiritual Communication Characteristics of the primordial Bone Elders."
