After leaving the academy, Xin Yun returned to his villa. Without alarming Mother Lan, Xin Yun directly entered the secret chamber and began to contemplate in seclusion. No matter what, he had to find a way to break through the defenses of the Great Mud Dragon!
To other dragons, the Great Mud Dragon might have flaws in its energy attacks and thus could be defeated. However, for Xin Yun, even energy attacks couldn’t harm it. On the contrary, they would only strengthen it and cause it to split into even more mud dragons. This was truly a miserable situation.
Immune to physical attacks, immune to energy attacks while also absorbing them—for Xin Yun, the Great Mud Dragon seemed to be an unsolvable problem. But up to this point, he had to win the battle that started because of Yi Luo Xiang; otherwise, all the words he had spoken in the auditorium would amount to nothing but hot air! Everyone knew he was not bragging then, he was more serious than anyone.
With a single thought, Xin Yun’s right hand reached out, palm up, and in the next moment... a small seal appeared spinning in his palm. Yes... it was the incredibly powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Kongtong Seal!
If he could utilize it, Xin Yun’s Kongtong Seal would undoubtedly be something the Great Mud Dragon couldn’t withstand. Once stamped down, although it wouldn’t be on the same level as the Sky-Overturning Seal, it would at least be on par with Innate Spiritual Treasures like the Qiankun Ruler and the Sea-Calming Pearl. It would not be something that a crystal-level Giant Dragon could withstand—a single strike would likely reduce it to ashes immediately.
Though it’s said that the Great Mud Dragon is immune to physical attacks, there’s always a limit to everything. Once a physical attack reaches sufficient strength, even the world could be destroyed; how could immunity exist then?
But the current problem was that even though he possessed this Innate Spiritual Treasure, Xin Yun simply couldn’t activate it. Though Innate Spiritual Treasures are powerful, they cannot be used by just anyone. In the hands of an ordinary person, they are nothing more than mundane items that can’t unleash their true power.
To make an analogy, if we compare a magical treasure to a missile, then to make the missile demonstrate its power, it must be launched and travel millions of miles before it can detonate. Now, the issue is that Xin Yun is holding a nuclear warhead, but he’s unable to launch it. His energy is still insufficient to fully drive this Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Xin Yun had tried before. Once he summoned the Kongtong Seal, it would expand in an instant into a Great Seal with a diameter of over ten meters and smash down from the air. Its power was definitely not small, but such might was still not enough to threaten a crystal-tier expert.
Although Xin Yun had energy, and it was of the gold-tier level, attempting to wield the Kongtong Seal was a bit of a stretch. He couldn’t bring out all of its power.
Of course, the main reason was that Xin Yun wasn’t using the laws contained within the Kongtong Seal. The Power of Laws contained within don’t require much energy to drive; just a trigger is needed to unfold them, unleashing huge power that is irresistible.
Take the Sea-Calming Pearl as an example: using it to hit someone requires a substantial amount of energy, but to use it to simulate the heavens, it just needs to be paired with the Qiankun Ruler to be activated. If it were to be evolved by human strength, even an ancient sage wouldn’t be capable of instantaneously creating the twenty-four heavens.
For Xin Yun at present, using the law energy in the Kongtong Seal isn’t a problem. In fact... he has already imprinted the divine souls of four people within it. Eventually, when he has time to seal a few fierce dragons, he will be able to unleash all of the Kongtong Seal’s law energy. However, to use the Kongtong Seal to strike someone requires a powerful energy to sustain it.
For example, with the Sky-Overturning Seal, in the hands of the original Tianzun, it would instantly transform into half of Mount Buzhou. Its sheer volume is unfathomable; below the level of a saint, nobody could withstand it.
But if it ended up in the hands of Guang Chengzi, the Sky-Overturning Seal would definitely not transform that large and would only be an average giant mountain, nothing like the volume of half of Mount Buzhou. Although powerful, the Sky-Overturning Seal also requires corresponding energy to be cast.
Innate Spiritual Treasures are incredibly powerful, but the strongest part is the Power of Laws contained within. They don’t need to consume energy; they only need to be driven and turned by the True Spirit. The Power of Laws will automatically operate the energy of heaven and earth to accomplish everything. Beyond that, it’s hard to say.

Take the Copper Coin treasure as an example: using it to hunt for treasure basically requires no strength, as this is a law inherent to the Copper Coin, naturally capable of harnessing the energy of heaven and earth to capture treasures. But if you want to use the Copper Coin to harm someone, then you need energy to support it—the more robust the energy, the greater the power, and the lower the energy, the lesser the damage. If it were in the hands of an ordinary person, it would be nothing more than a regular coin.
Looking at the Kongtong Seal in his hand, Xin Yun faced a choice. It could be said... that the Kongtong Seal was Xin Yun’s only dependence at the moment, but he had no way to control it—his energy was too low to bring out the power of the Seal Character Technique.
However, it wasn’t entirely without a solution. After all, Xin Yun had the spirit of the Sky-opening Axe within him. As long as he first filled the Kongtong Seal with energy, it could be used when needed. By simply triggering it with his energy, he could naturally activate the pre-charged energy, thereby unleashing the Sky-Overturning Seal’s most formidable power.
The issue now was that the Kongtong Seal was an Innate Spiritual Treasure, which could only be driven by Innate Spiritual Qi. Therefore... if Xin Yun wanted to charge it with energy, he could only use the colorful Immortal Stone to do so, and moreover, it’s a one-time use—once used up, it would be depleted and not recover.
