Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 495: The secret realm of national destiny?

The next day

Yu Cang, Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er came to the new location of Tianmen Secret Realm.

This is a deep mountain. Yu Cang calculated in his mind that it is to the east and west of the original site of Zixu Lake, and is quite far away.

The Lingxiao Tower hadn't changed at all. It looked the same as it did on Zixu Lake. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking around, there was no lake, not even a drop of water.

It seems that the association is also afraid.

The incident happened two days ago, and the association is now conducting expedited research on the Starry Sky Evil God and the water of Zixu Lake, but no traces have been found so far, and no one knows what means the Desolate Sect used to summon the evil god.

Ye Lai had handed over all the water in [Nightfall] to the association. Now, the water had turned into ordinary Zixu Lake water. The evil god's gaze could no longer be seen in it, but nothing could be researched either.

The totem thrown into the lake by Duan Zai melted into water without a trace. The association studied it for a long time but could not find any remaining power of the totem, let alone crack the power within.

However, the director of the Imperial Capital Reception Bureau asserted that the person who created that totem must be a card banner with extremely high attainments in card banning!

Today, the lake water has been collected in a nearby treatment center, and is being stored and studied with the highest card ban standards...but water is just water. After the lake water has been collected indoors, even the original purple starry sky can no longer be seen.

The lake water was quite large...it directly occupied an entire room in the treatment center.

If someone passed through the layers of strict security of the Imperial Capital Treatment Bureau, passed through various identity identification and counter-traps along the way, and came to the depths of the treatment bureau... then they would see a lake of ordinary water.

Then his expression must have been very strange.

Climbing up the mountain road, Yu Cang arrived at the foot of Lingxiao Tower and met Ling E.

This mountain is towering into the clouds, and the Lingxiao Tower is located on the top of the mountain, which is worthy of the name "Lingxiao".

"You're here." Ling E said with a smile.

"Hmm... Is today's procedure the same as the day before yesterday?"

"To be on the safe side, the necessary procedures must be followed." Ling E nodded.

This process refers to the decomposition of the talisman.

A lot of things happened the day before yesterday, and a lot of wild energy erupted. As someone who had close contact with it, Yu Cang must have it checked.

Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er stayed outside together, and then Yu Cang and Ling E entered the Tianmen Secret Realm again.

……

In the secret realm of Tianmen.

Ling E pasted a brand new talisman on Yu Cang.

In fact, as soon as the talisman was put up, Ling E already knew that Yu Cang would be fine now... but there was still a two-hour waiting time, which was safer.

Yu Cang had no objection to this.

The blood-colored bead condensed by Yaoqi is not on him now. He put it in a portable fragment and asked Lin Yunqing to keep it for him, so there will be no source of pollution on his body now.

Two hours, just wait.

Anyway, this talisman was successful the first time, and it will remain effective for the next month, so he won't have to go through so much trouble next time he comes in.

Just as Yu Cang guessed, making a talisman requires a lot of precious materials - in fact, a simple talisman does not require so many materials, but a talisman that can defend against Huang is very precious.

After pasting, Ling E looked at Yu Cang and suddenly asked: "What is your current card making level?"

He also saw the scene of Yu Cang making the heirloom soul card in Lingxiao Tower that day.

That level of proficiency... is definitely not something that someone who has just entered the Grandmaster realm can match.

"Ah? Me?" Yu Cang was stunned. "I am the card-making master."

"Really?" Ling E suddenly smiled, "I don't believe it."

"Uh...it can't be the guardian of the country."

Yu Cang knows his own level clearly.

Above the Grandmaster is the Guardian of the Nation, and the Guardian of the Nation needs to have the ability to modify mythical soul cards... He does have this ability, but it relies purely on the entry recorder and is quite dependent on luck.

He was quite skilled in making soul cards below the super-level heritage, but as for myths... he had no idea at all.

Even though he had been exposed to many mythological rhythms in the Starry Sky Vision and had many mythological entries, he still had no ideas.

I picked up the pen, but I didn't understand and couldn't write even a single stroke.

But Ling E obviously didn't think so.

"Isn't it?"

Ling E's eyes seemed to say "I've seen through you a long time ago".

All of Yu Cang’s soul cards... were made by him.

in other words.

The power-raising spell that directly summoned the myth in the Tianmen Secret Realm was also created by Yu Cang himself!
A spell card that can summon a myth, even if it only has one hit... it's not justifiable that the quality is lower than that of a super-level legendary. It's most likely a myth.

With this level of ability, if you are not the guardian of the country, who will be?
He didn't directly say that you were a myth, which was already a very conservative guess on his part.

Yu Cang: "..."

He didn't know how to defend himself for a moment.

It seemed that... he had indeed demonstrated his ability to use mythical rhythms in front of others many times before. Now he was printing cards right in front of everyone...

It is indeed normal for Ling E to have such a misunderstanding now.

But he is really not some myth...he doesn't have that ability.

"If you are confident that you can be promoted to the guardian of the country, then apply for the test immediately."

Seeing Yu Cang's silence, Ling E thought that he had agreed, so he tried to persuade him:
"The association's promotion process to a national guardian is very complicated... Even if you are Yu Cang, you can't avoid those procedures... If you apply now when you need to use your national guardian status, it will most likely be too late."

There are more than a hundred national-level card makers in Yan Country. This may seem like a lot, but considering the number of people in the entire Yan Country... it is too few.

In fact, it’s not that many people don’t have the ability, but there is no way, there are only so many places... For example, Guan Qingrui actually has the corresponding ability, but cannot take the exam.

The root cause is that the national examination consumes too many resources.

A hard requirement for being a national card maker is to have the ability to modify mythical soul cards...but where do so many mythical soul cards come from for you to modify?
There are only so many myths in Yan Country, how can you use them in the exam... If you succeed, it's fine, but if you fail, who will be responsible for the loss? No one can afford to pay.

As a second best option, the "material" for the national examination is a mythical incomplete rhythm... If you can modify this rhythm, you will succeed.

However, even if it is an incomplete rhythm, no one knows how many natural treasures such a rhythm would consume... to make a carrier that is qualified to carry the rhythm.

There is no way, this is a myth, even if it is incomplete, it is still a myth.

And most importantly, there aren’t many card makers who can write this rhythm… ordinary state guardians simply can’t do this job.

Therefore, places in the national examination are extremely valuable, and you cannot apply for them simply because you have enough strength and influence... You must pass multiple levels of review before you can be given a place.

Yu Cang estimated that even if he applied himself, he might not be able to get it.

After all, considering his current situation, even if he had this status as a national guardian, it would only be icing on the cake and would not have any practical significance. Yu Cang did not seem to need it... so he might not be able to get it approved.

Zhenguo is not like a master. Once the association asks, they will add you without any examination.

"Ling Zhenguo, I'm still young, there's no rush."

"Why not? The sooner the better." Ling E's expression became serious. "A secret realm will be opened in the second half of the year... Only the guardians of the country can enter. During this period, you may not be qualified."

“Uh…” Yu Cang scratched his head. “If it’s just for a secret realm… it shouldn’t be necessary, right?” If he really wanted to enter a secret realm, could the association stop him?

This Zhenguojing is, after all, just an empty title, and has nothing to do with his own strength. If he objectively cannot enter the secret realm due to lack of strength, then he cannot enter even if he passes the certificate.

"I know what you are thinking, but it is different." Ling E shook his head, "This secret realm... is related to the 'national destiny'. Although the guardian of the country is a nominal position, this secret realm requires this nominal position to successfully enter."

Ok?
Yu Cang's expression changed.

Is there such a secret place?

National destiny... He seemed to have heard of this thing from Jie Ting.

The national oath made by Emperor Wu is related to the fate of the country!
"Yu Cang, why do you think the title of 'Zhenguo' is called 'Zhenguo'?" Ling E said, "The evaluation criteria for the Zhenguo are different in each era... But no matter what, as long as you have this honorary position, it is connected with the national destiny. It is with this connection that you are qualified to enter that secret realm."

"I see..." Yu Cang's eyes flashed with curiosity, "What if the association directly gives me a 'National Defense' certificate... isn't that possible?"

"No." Ling E shook his head. "When a country of an era sets a standard for maintaining its national security, then the country's destiny will only recognize that standard...all other methods will not work."

"Is that so?" Yu Cang said with a click of his tongue, "Okay... I'll pay attention."

"Well, then you should hurry up." Ling E said, "I'll go out first."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Tianmen Secret Realm.

"what……"

Yu Cang stretched lazily.

"Chao Ci...is there?"

"…Why are you calling me?"

"That secret realm of national destiny... do you know about it?"

"What Ling E said is indeed true." Chao Ci nodded in agreement, "But...his perspective is limited to himself after all, so what he said is not accurate."

"What about the reality?" Yu Cang asked curiously.

"'National Destiny' does exist, this is... forget it." Chao Ci shook his head and said, "In short, obtaining the position of 'Guardian of the Country' is just the simplest way to resonate with the National Destiny - Yu Cang, you have already obtained the qualifications to enter the secret realm of National Destiny."

"Ah?" Yu Cang blinked, "Why didn't I know... Wait, is it that?"

"Yes, the Flame Emperor Medal." Chao Ci said lazily, "The national destiny lingering on the Flame Emperor Medal is much more than the two words 'guarding the country'."

"So that's how it is." Yu Cang suddenly realized.

It’s not Ling E’s fault that he was wrong.

In the past, those who received the Flame Emperor Medal had long since become guardians of the country.

How could anyone get it at such a young age like him?

Ling'e is just an ordinary town guarding the country, with a lifespan of no more than a hundred years. It is normal that he cannot imagine such things that he has never seen before.

Di Changan didn't mention this to him, probably because he knew that he would definitely be able to enter the secret realm of national destiny.

"No problem." Yu Cang yawned, "Then I won't waste those resources..."

There are already few places available, and it is really inappropriate for him to take up another one.

It would be better to give it to Mr. Guan Qingrui than to use it yourself.

Besides, he was not sure he could pass the test.

In the aurora, Chao Ci slowly turned into a human form. Her snow-white feet gently landed on the grass. She looked at the clouds in the sky.

"Don't forget about the soul card space."

"Don't worry...I won't forget it."

Still leaning on the stone from the day before, he agreed and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Is there...something missing?
"...That's right." Chao Ci said, "The battle area from the day before yesterday has been completely separated from this space - to be precise, the entire tenth floor, and part of the space on the adjacent floors."

"Is that so..." Yu Cang narrowed his eyes slightly.

The battle the day before yesterday affected an area of ​​tens or hundreds of kilometers, and the actual space on the tenth floor was much larger than this.

Just because of a battle, such a vast space was completely divided... If it was a myth, it seems reasonable to be able to do this.

Obviously, this was the work of Di Changan.

There are only thirty-three layers in the Tianmen Secret Realm, and the layers on the edges are extremely thin, and not many spirit beasts would go there. This time, one-third of the thirty-three layers were cut off and taken away.

However... considering that the Tianmen Secret Realm is just a world in a mythical totem, it doesn't seem surprising that Di Chang'an can do this.

I had wanted to go back to the vicinity of the battlefield and feel the rhythm of that area.

A great battle would greatly stimulate the surrounding rhythm, so gaining insights in the vicinity would often achieve twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, many of the remaining rhythms from the battle were what Yu Cang needed.

However, since it has been stripped away, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, the environment of Tianmen itself is good enough.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang slowly closed his eyes.

The idea of ​​improving the soul card space... He had a hunch that he would definitely find inspiration here.

Suddenly, he felt something in his heart.

This feeling...

……

Outside the Lingxiao Tower
Ling E looked at Gu Jieshuang who was playing with Qi'er and suddenly said.

"It's thaw."

"Hmm?" Gu Jieshuang raised her head. "Senior Ling, what's wrong?"

"I saw your sword skills in the fight the day before yesterday. It just so happens that I know some sword skills. Would you like to spar with me?"

There was a smile on Ling E's face.

It is said to be an exchange of ideas, but in fact it is just guidance.

Gu Jieshuang's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Senior, you also know sword intent?"

As soon as these words came out, Ling E's face froze visibly: "That... isn't the case. He is still not as good as Ning Xingyi."

"Is that so..." Gu Jieshuang nodded, "It doesn't matter. It's my honor to receive guidance from you, my senior!"

Ling E: ...

What the hell is that disappointment in your eyes?

You look down on old people, don’t you?
Ling E took a deep breath, his mind and spirit were lifted.

Gu Jieshuang...I heard that you practiced with Ning Xingyi?
Come on, during the few days you spend with me, I will definitely make sure you gain more than you did with him!

The elderly’s desire to win has risen!
