Chapter 1351 - 1351: Freed
"He didn't die here. After five hundred years, he was set free since that was his sentence. It was in the outside world where he had died in the later years of his life," he added.
"Ah, so the Emperor freed him. The Emperor does sound like a bad person, though. Punishing him for such a small thing?" Long Chen muttered, shaking his head.
"I guess you can say that. Probably that's why Lord Genso refused to work for him again and instead went into isolation after leaving this place," Gu Chen answered. "Anyway, enough of the history lesson. If you want to know more about him, you can take books from the library about him. For now, don't waste the training time."
"We have this place for a limited time, after all."
Long Chen nodded his eyes, prepared to learn.
"Close your eyes. I'll send you the scriptures. After that, I'll try to teach you the meaning so you can comprehend them better."
Long Chen closed his eyes.
Gu Chen placed his finger on the forehead of Long Chen and closed his eyes as well.
Long Chen could feel some information entering his head. It appeared to be random words that were impossible to comprehend as they were, but more and more words entered his head, making the picture slightly clear.
The Golden Words arranged themselves in such a manner that they looked to be forming the image of a Golden Buddha.
"To learn the Buddha's Gaze, you first need to know what it's about. So, can you tell me what you understand about the weakness? What are the weak points of the body? And where do they originate from?"
"The Weakness of the Human Body? You mean things like the heart, the throat, the core, and things as such?" Long Chen asked.
"No. I meant the weakness as the one I targeted when fighting you. The weakest part of your body wasn't your heart. Neither was it your core. The weakest point of your body was this," Gu Chen said as he touched a spot just above Long Chen's wrist.
"My wrist? That's the weakest?" Long Chen asked.
Gu Chen nodded. "So tell me. Where do you think this weakness of yours originated from? Why is it that your wrists are weak?"
"Wrists..." Long Chen looked down. He hadn't known that his wrist was weakest. It was something he just heard for the first time.
"Maybe because I use my wrist a lot when fighting! Did that make it weak?" he asked.
"Nope. That just tells me how little you know about Weaknesses. It's going to be hard," Gu Chen sighed. "The weakness of the body has one and only one origin."
"And that origin is your soul."
"My soul?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes. You probably know how important a soul is, but you should also know that the soul is tightly interconnected with the body. And so is your weakness. The weakness of your soul reflects on your body. That's why the weak points are different for every person," Gu Chen explained.
"So, if you want to look at the true weakness of the body, you need to be able to find the weakness of the soul first. Then when you attack that part, not only will you be able to hurt the body, but you'll also be able to hurt the soul. Isn't that right?"
"Hurt the soul and the body..." Long Chen muttered.
"Yep. At least, you can stun the soul when attacking that weak point making the person unable to move temporarily since their soul is frozen. At best, you can hurt the soul gravely if you reach that high level," Gu Chen explained.
"The body of the humans can be really powerful, but without the soul, it won't be anything," he further stated.
"That's why the Buddha Gaze Scriptures focus on teaching about the soul. The person who comprehends it shall be an expert in understanding the soul. Moreover, after this, you should also understand how to target the enemies even better.x
"So, focus on the first line of the Scripture. The sun does when the Origin arrives. What it means is that..."
Gu Chen tried teaching Long Chen about the meaning of the skill. In the meantime, Zhu Chang had already reached near the prison.
"There is the heavenly prison. The Golden Barrier that you see ahead is where the Heavenly Prison starts from. However, it's impossible to get inside," the Heavenly Warrior informed Zhu Chang.
"So there he will be. That's good," Zhu Chang muttered. "Time to get in, find him, and escape."
He flew straight towards the barrier.
"Are you here to help a prisoner break out?" the Heavenly Warrior asked Zhu Chang, being forced to go with them.
"Well, Good Morning, sleeping princess. Didn't you wake up too soon?" Blood Dragon Emperor asked, rolling his eyes. "I mean, you just now realize why we're here?"
"T-that's better than what I imagined. I thought you were here to help all the prisoners so they could attack the Heavenly Realm," the Heavenly Warrior muttered, sighed. "If it's only about one Prisoner, it's better."
"Why would I want the Heavenly Realm to be in danger? I don't have anything to do with the Heavenly Realm. I wouldn't even be here if he hadn't ended up here accidentally," Zhu Chang replied, sighing.
"Accidentally?"
"Yeah. He wasn't sent here by a Heavenly Prisoner. He accidentally touched a box that was left on the mortal world and ended up here," Blood Dragon Emperor said. "So he doesn't deserve to be here."
Zhu Chang landed before the Golden Barrier.
"Even if you want to help one Prisoner out, the barrier is a challenge. I think it's still better to approach the Heavenly Emperor. Maybe he would listen to you and let the prisoner out since he doesn't deserve to be here?" The Heavenly Warrior suggested.
"That's a big maybe. In any case, this guy doesn't want to approach the Heavenly Emperor for certain reasons. That's why we're taking this long route," Blood Dragon Emperor explained since Zhu Chang wasn't speaking much.
"Still, is there even a benefit in coming here in the first place? This barrier is impossible to bre-"
Boom~
Just as the Heavenly Warrior was speaking about the barrier being difficult to break, the barrier shattered with a booming sound.
All it needed was Zhu Chang to thrust his special spear, and the barrier couldn't resist. The barrier shattered in its entirety.
Since the barrier was broken, the prisoners were allowed to use their laws.. They started attempting an escape; even the Inner Prisoners were no different.
