Chapter 504: Script Awakening Breaks the Limit, Ice Coffin Woman Awakens

Chapter 504: Script Awakening Breaks the Limit, Ice Coffin Woman Awakens

Dawn broke.

In the courtyard.

Jiang Ning exhaled a breath, his turbulent heart gradually calming down.

Primordial Essence: 55431

Skills: Script Awakening+ (11th Limit Break 30000/30000) (Features: Photographic Memory, Dao of Nature)

After breaking through the 50,000 Essence Points threshold, as he had expected, the familiar plus sign appeared next to Script Awakening.

This indicated that his accumulated Essence Points were sufficient for the 12th limit break of this skill.

He hoped for the changes he anticipated.

The thought flashed through his mind.

Then, without hesitation, he focused his mind.

Instantly, his Essence Points plummeted like a waterfall.

Primordial Essence: 5431 (55431 → 5431)

In the courtyard.

Time seemed to pause for a moment, as if the world had stopped, before everything resumed its course.

Leaves drifted slowly through the air, falling more slowly than usual.

At that moment, a dark world appeared in Jiang Ning's mind, accompanied by a thunderous sound. A beam of white light split the darkness, revealing a world bathed in white light.

Jiang Ning's heart trembled as he seemed to understand something.

He quietly felt the growth of his mental energy.

With the 12th limit break of Script Awakening, his mental energy continued to increase.

After a long while.

The crimson sun rose over the mountain ridge, casting a red glow over the world.

At that moment, he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the scenery in the courtyard, his expression changed, and his pupils dilated.

He realized that the world he saw had changed.

Not only could he see a vivid world, but he could also see the dust particles floating in the air, the colors of the wind that were previously invisible to the naked eye, and the flow of various energies in the world.

He could see the earth beneath his feet emitting a yellowish aura, and the green light of vitality surrounding the bamboo.

He then looked up at the rising sun in the east.

To the average person, sunlight appeared monotonous.

But in his eyes at that moment, the sunlight was not monotonous. He could easily distinguish the seven colors within it: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

These seven colors appeared before his eyes.

Seeing this, he recalled the knowledge he had learned in school in his past life.

Sunlight, when undivided, appears as white light to the human eye.

However, using a prism to separate the sunlight reveals the seven colors.

These seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Each color has a specific wavelength and frequency, which normal human eyes cannot detect.

But now, he could easily see the seven colors contained within the sunlight.

"Have my eyes changed, or have I gained a new ability?"

The thought flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.

He scanned the distance again.

Suddenly, his visual range had increased several times over. Even with his pupils slightly contracted, he could see birds flying several kilometers away, the flapping of their wings, and the clear details of their feathers.

Then, his pupils returned to their normal state.

He could no longer see the colors of the wind or the flow of energy in the world.

He rubbed his temples, closed his eyes, and felt a slight strain in his eyes.

After this brief exploration, he was certain that his eyes had changed.

It was no exaggeration to describe his vision as a weakened version of the legendary thousand-mile eye.

While he could not see a thousand miles away, he could now see changes several dozen miles away.

"Is this change due to the 12th limit break of my Script Awakening skill?" Jiang Ning wondered.

He felt a bit disappointed.

Then he looked at his status panel.

Primordial Essence: 5431

Skills: Script Awakening (12th Limit Break 2873/40000) (Features: Heavenly Eye (Second Break), Enhanced Senses, Unity of Knowledge and Action, Clear Mind, Sacred Birth, Dao of Nature)

No!

Seeing the changes on his panel, his expression changed slightly.

The panel did not add any new features but showed a change in the Heavenly Eye feature.

Heavenly Eye (Second Break): A third eye appears on the forehead, born extraordinary, capable of observing all things in the world and all living beings.

Looking at the description on the panel, Jiang Ning felt a bit puzzled.

"Let's try it and see!" he muttered to himself.

Then, he brought his right index and middle fingers together and gently touched his forehead.

Instantly, a vertical white line appeared on his forehead.

Bright and radiant light emanated from the line, like smoke.

"Can it be opened?"

He felt surprised.

At that moment, when the Heavenly Eye appeared on his forehead, the feeling was completely different from before.

He could sense that the white line was like his eyelids, though heavy, he felt he could open it.

"The changes in my eyes might come from this!"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Ning understood.

Then, he turned and walked back into the room.

After returning to the room, he closed the door and the window, making the room slightly darker.

"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Without any hesitation, he fully opened the Heavenly Eye on his forehead.

With effort, the white line on his forehead slowly spread, like a door being pushed open.

As the Heavenly Eye slowly opened, the white light emanating from the line became even more brilliant.

It was no longer like smoke but like arrows bursting forth, like divine light breaking through.

"Open—"

Jiang Ning mentally shouted.

Suddenly, the partially opened Heavenly Eye fully opened.

No pupil appeared in the Heavenly Eye, but an endless white light burst forth from it.

The white light disappeared after reaching about three feet from his body.

Then, the brief transformation ended, and the Heavenly Eye returned to a peaceful state.

The white light rippled in the Heavenly Eye like water.

With his eyes closed, his vision was not obstructed but exceptionally clear.

He could clearly feel that the effectiveness of the Heavenly Eye had increased further.

"Let's test it!" he thought.

He focused his attention on the Ice Coffin by the bed.

In the next moment, he took three quick steps to the bed and picked up the strange Ice Coffin by the bedside.

Looking down, he saw the world inside the Ice Coffin.

Inside the Ice Coffin was a vast and cold hall, and at the center of the hall was another Ice Coffin.

Inside that Ice Coffin lay a woman with a beautiful face.

Her hands were crossed over her abdomen, her face peaceful and serene, with a hint of redness.

She seemed to be sleeping, not a cold corpse.

The woman was wearing a seamless celestial garment, which could block his Heavenly Eye.

At that moment, when Jiang Ning's gaze fell on the woman, he fully activated the Heavenly Eye, wanting to determine the state of the woman in the Ice Coffin, whether she was dead or alive.

At that moment, his vision suddenly plunged into a dark and void world.

This world seemed to lack the concepts of time and space, filled only with pure void and endless darkness.

At the same time, in this void.

There was no space, no matter, and all directions were endless darkness and void.

Even time had no presence here.

A White-robed Enchantress drifted in the darkness.

This endless darkness was an unbreakable prison, confining her within its bounds.

To prevent the endless darkness and emptiness from driving her mad and shattering her mind, the White-robed Enchantress chose to remain silent, falling into a long slumber.

At one moment, a beam of light suddenly appeared above her.

The light was like a sharp sword, cleaving through the endless darkness and bringing a glimmer of change to this world.

This change instantly roused the White-robed Enchantress from her deep slumber.

She slowly regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes.

The long sleep had made her mind sluggish.

When she saw the beam of light above her, she was momentarily stunned.

In the next moment, her consciousness fully returned.

"The taste of the Decadomains!"

"Coordinates have appeared!!"

Her eyes flashed with joy.

She instantly shot upwards, toward the beam of light.

It was the only light in the endless darkness.

Rushing water and golden sand appeared before her.

"The Long River has appeared!!"

"I really have a chance to return!!"

The woman was overjoyed.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning abruptly withdrew his gaze, a look of shock on his face.

Just now, he had seen a world, a world of endless darkness.

In that world, there was only infinite darkness and emptiness.

But in the midst of the endless darkness and emptiness, he saw another woman in an Ice Coffin.

In the last moments of his vision, he saw the woman in the Ice Coffin rushing toward him, toward his eyes.

Like a moth flying toward his eyes.

This made his vision break away from that world.

But now, as he regained his composure, he felt that he might have done something right or wrong.

His rashness seemed to have helped the woman in the Ice Coffin.

He didn't think what he had seen was an illusion.

With his Heavenly Eye, there was no way an illusion or mirage could appear.

All illusions and deceptions were exposed before the Heavenly Eye.

So he knew that he had seen another world through his Heavenly Eye, using the woman in the Ice Coffin as a medium.

A world filled with endless darkness and emptiness.

"What kind of place is that?" the thought flashed through his mind.

A moment later, he came to his senses and looked back at the Ice Coffin in his hand.

His Heavenly Eye in his forehead twitched slightly.

Instantly, he saw through the Ice Coffin's exterior and into the world within.

His eyes widened in surprise.

In the dark and cold hall inside the Ice Coffin, the woman who had been lying there was no longer present.

The Ice Coffin in the center of the hall was now empty.

The woman who had been lying there, unlike any mortal, was now gone.

"Not inside, then where?!"

He suddenly looked up.

Before him was still empty, with no sign of any anomaly.

But he could sense a sharp, piercing feeling in his forehead.

It was like a common person could feel someone pressing a sharp object to their forehead even with their eyes closed.

"Open—"

He mentally shouted, fully activating his Heavenly Eye.

In an instant, the Heavenly Eye, which had been a calm, white light, suddenly burst forth with divine light, piercing through the void.

At that moment, he saw the space divided into layers, like a thousand-layer cake stacked together.

With his Heavenly Eye, he peeled away layer after layer of space.

He saw the deeper layers, and there, floating three feet away from him, was the woman from the Ice Coffin, smiling at him.

Jiang Ning took a step back.

"Can you see me, little brother?" the woman asked with a smile.

Though Jiang Ning couldn't hear her voice, he could tell what she was saying from her moving lips.

"Of course, you possess the Heavenly Eye, perhaps inheriting the legacy of the one who governs justice. It's not surprising you can see me now!" the woman murmured to herself.

Governing justice?

Jiang Ning's heart filled with doubt.

"Senior, could you enlighten me?" Jiang Ning bowed respectfully.

"Looks like you really can see me!" the woman smiled.

She then waved her hand, and the Ice Coffin in Jiang Ning's hand instantly turned into a stream of light, merging into his body.

"This item is no longer of use to me, so I'll give it to you as a token of gratitude for saving me. As for other favors, I'll repay them later!"

With the Ice Coffin merging into his body, Jiang Ning instantly felt the full control over it.

He also understood what the Ice Coffin was.

It was a spiritual treasure, a spiritual treasure containing the 33-Edict Seals.

With her techniques, the 33-Edict Seals had been instantly refined.

The effect of the Ice Coffin was simple.

Entering the Ice Coffin could conceal one's fate.

Even the Heavenly Dao could not lock onto him.

With the Ice Coffin as a shield, one could obscure their fate, making it impossible for even the greatest powers who mastered the art of divination to calculate anything about the Ice Coffin's owner.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ning bowed.

"I am a disciple of the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable. Since you helped me return from the Endless Abyss to the Decadomains, I'll give you a secret art from my sect as well!" the woman said.

She pointed upward, and a beam of white light instantly shot into Jiang Ning's forehead, too fast to avoid.

In the next moment, a flood of information surged into his mind, making his brain sluggish, as if it had crashed.

After a long while, he finally digested the information.

He looked back at the woman.

Seeing Jiang Ning's consciousness return, the woman said, "I can't answer your question here!"

"I can't stay here for long!"

"Though we are in different spaces, this world's Heavenly Dao is about to detect me!"

"I must leave!"

"If we ever meet again, I'll bestow another boon upon you!"

"After all, you truly helped me overcome that Cataclysmic Calamity!"

"Without you, I might have been lost in the Endless Abyss forever."

The woman fell silent and looked up.

Though the ceiling blocked her view, she seemed to see through it to the outside.

At the same time, the sky outside darkened.

A thunderclap echoed.

"Little brother, we'll meet again if fate allows!" the woman said to Jiang Ning.

She then turned and walked forward.

In Jiang Ning's sight, the mysterious woman walked into a deeper layer of space and disappeared from his view.

Even with the Heavenly Eye, he couldn't lock onto her figure.

She vanished completely from his sight.

Apart from the Ice Coffin now fused into his body and the secret art in his mind, everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion.

But the Ice Coffin he now controlled and the secret art in his mind told him it wasn't an illusion.

It was real.

At the same time, the sky outside gradually brightened, and the gathering storm clouds dispersed.

Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Ning's mind.
