These thirty-two characters are easy to understand, and Yang Kai naturally understood them.
However, the origin of the black book was unclear, which made Yang Kai somewhat wary. What if this was some kind of trap? Thinking of this, Yang Kai chuckled to himself. He was just a probationary disciple of the Lingxiao Pavilion; who would go to such lengths to deal with him?
But from the literal meaning of the following lines, it seemed that the transformation of the black stone pillow into the black book was probably related to his dream today.
For over a year, nothing had changed when he used the pillow, but today it turned into a black book, which was undoubtedly related to the change in his state of mind in the dream.
It was precisely because of his transformation that the black stone pillow changed.
Since he had facilitated the birth of the black book, then this black book was born for him! He was the master of this black book!
With this thought, Yang Kai no longer hesitated. The characters on the black book clearly required him to use his blood as a catalyst. With a trial mindset, Yang Kai bit his finger hard and then extended it toward the first page of the black book.
Drops of fresh blood fell, and at first, there was no reaction. As time passed, the black book began to emit layers of black light. Yang Kai, who was already in poor health and had been injured earlier, felt dizzy and lightheaded from the exertion.
But Yang Kai gritted his teeth and held on. The blood continued to flow, and the light on the page grew brighter.
It lasted for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Yang Kai almost fainted, but the page finally showed a substantial change. The black light pulsated and contracted, forming a small vortex in the center of the page.
Then, a streak of golden light appeared in the vortex. Yang Kai struggled to maintain his clarity and focused on the scene before him.
From the black vortex, a shiny, round, golden object gradually rose.
Yang Kai was shocked. There really was something inside the page! Although he had some expectations when he decided to use his blood, he hadn't really thought it would succeed.
But now, everything before him confirmed that the thirty-two characters on the page were not false.
Using blood as a catalyst, the golden body appeared!
What kind of golden body was it? Yang Kai's pale face was filled with anticipation.
A moment later, when the shiny, round object was fully revealed, Yang Kai couldn't help but swallow. No matter how rich his imagination, he hadn't expected the golden body to look like this.
It was a golden skeleton, about half a foot tall, and the first part to emerge was its skull. The golden skeleton floated on the page of the black book, sitting cross-legged as if in meditation. Each bone emitted a golden glow, illuminating Yang Kai's small room in a golden brilliance.
The black vortex on the page gradually disappeared, and everything returned to calm.
Yang Kai looked at the strangely appearing golden skeleton, unsure of what to do. The page only mentioned how to summon the golden body but didn't say what to do after it appeared.
As he watched, Yang Kai suddenly felt something was wrong. The golden skeleton clearly had no eyes, yet he felt it was examining him. It also had no mouth, yet it seemed to be mocking his weakness.
Realizing this, Yang Kai became furious and reached out to grab the golden skeleton.
A mere small skeleton, daring to be so arrogant!
But as soon as he moved, the golden skeleton flew toward him, passing through his hand and imprinting on his chest.
This was a terrifying scene. The skeleton collided with Yang Kai, and golden light surged. The golden skeleton turned into specks of light, seeping into Yang Kai's body through the pores of his limbs and bones.
Instantly, pain spread throughout his body. This pain was not ordinary; it came from the depths of his bones! Yang Kai screamed in agony, falling to the ground, his body curled up like a shrimp, convulsing.
It felt as if all his bones had shattered in an instant. Yang Kai couldn't even move a finger. This was not an illusion. If Yang Kai could see inside his body, he would see that his bones were indeed shattered, and each broken bone was wrapped in a layer of golden light, continuously repairing the fractures. However, the repair speed was far slower than the destruction speed, and as soon as a bone was repaired, it shattered again.
The bones contained bone marrow, and the bone marrow contained nerves. Any small touch could cause immense pain. One can imagine the suffering Yang Kai was enduring.
He wasn't just one bone broken; every bone in his body was shattered.
If it were anyone else, even someone a thousand times stronger than Yang Kai, they would have fainted by now. But Yang Kai did not. The intense pain made his mind even clearer, amplifying the pain a thousand times.
Heart-wrenching screams echoed from the small room, startling the Lingxiao Pavilion disciples nearby, who fled in panic.
In the midst of this, Yang Kai seemed to sense a message from the golden body: to eliminate Yang Kai's consciousness and take over his body!
Yang Kai would not agree. Even though he couldn't move, he struggled to maintain his consciousness, refusing to let the golden body take over. The golden body was equally relentless, repeatedly shattering Yang Kai's bones and tormenting his nerves, trying to make him faint.
One was a proud golden body, and the other had an indomitable spirit. It was impossible to tell who would win until the very end.
Yang Kai knew this was a matter of life and death, unlike the challenges and competitions with his fellow disciples. If he couldn't endure, there would be no more Yang Kai in this world. He had to endure, no matter how much pain he felt.
A grueling tug-of-war began between Yang Kai's consciousness and the destructive power of the golden body, with the battlefield being Yang Kai's body. They fought back and forth, neither giving in or yielding.
As time passed, Yang Kai noticed that the unbearable pain was gradually decreasing, and he felt a surge of energy.
This was understandable. After the golden body shattered and repaired Yang Kai's bones, his body began to incorporate the elements of the golden body. Yang Kai's bones grew stronger, while the energy of the golden body diminished. As a result, the pain naturally decreased. Once the golden body was fully integrated into Yang Kai's body, the battle would end.
The scales of victory gradually tipped in Yang Kai's favor. The unbearable pain slowly turned into tolerable pain, then into an unbearable itch, and finally into a pleasant sensation, like a refreshing rain, making every pore in his body open involuntarily.
Sensing that the golden body still had a bit of resistance, Yang Kai roared and his consciousness surged forward, crushing the resistance.
Finally, his body calmed down.
A sigh seemed to echo in his ears, filled with relief and a sense of release.
