The heavens and the earth reversed.
Sun, moon, and stars.
Chen Shaohu held the Iron Lotus Seed. A surge of impact struck him, and when he opened his eyes again, it felt as if he had switched into another body.
This body was meditating with its eyes closed.
Within him.
A stream of energy coursed through, leaving behind a series of marks. The marks interwove, growing increasingly intricate, forming runes that resembled a chaotic mess of threads.
"Blood Burning Technique!"
Chen Shaohu's heart stirred.
Upon a single glance, he recognized it. These runes existed in three dimensions and bore a striking resemblance to one of the thirteen diagrams his fourth brother had given him.
But the diagrams were flat, overly abstract, and required exceptional spatial reasoning and three-dimensional imagination.
No longer necessary now.
He followed a vague, inexplicable sensation, as though witnessing the runes first-hand.
One by one, cross-checking against the thirteen diagrams.
