[Life Divine Talisman: Second (10,000/10,000) (Can be broken through)]

He looked at the words “breakthrough” on the Life Divine Talisman below the purple crown frame. Shen Ping did not hesitate at all. He chanted in his heart, “Breakthrough!”

Boom!

The virtual frame shook violently. All the experience accumulated by his attributes was instantly consumed. Immediately after, a large number of Talisman Dao and the accumulation of studying the Green Talisman Sutra and the Talisman Beast Scripture crazily gathered in Shen Ping’s spiritual sea at this moment. The Life Divine Talisman that was originally hidden in the depths shook.

Buzz-

Almost instantly, Shen Ping’s surroundings became empty, and all the sounds in his ears disappeared. He looked up. The Life Talisman that emitted an ancient and vast aura was refracting rays of light.

Enveloped in this light, the comprehension information of the Dao of Talismans and the Talisman Sutra quickly fused and intertwined like water droplets, condensing a new talisman spirit rune.

Swoosh!

The moment the new talisman spirit rune condensed, an even more ancient and primitive aura emitted from the spirit rune.

Shen Ping’s eyes widened. Before he could react, the two talisman spirit runes suddenly collided. In the blink of an eye, they fused to form a huge talisman that seemed to have existed since ancient times. On this talisman, two spirit runes reflected each other, vaguely revealing the phantom of a huge creature.

He even heard a soul-stirring beast roar!

When he came back to his senses, the environment of the simple main meditation room gradually became clear. However, Shen Ping’s emotions fluctuated. He did not expect the second Life Divine Talisman to fuse with the first. Although he did not know the effect, he could tell that this new Life Divine Talisman was extraordinary from the aura emitted by the talisman.

Phew.

Ha.

He took a few long and deep breaths to suppress his fluttering emotions. He cleared his mind of distracting thoughts. Then, his divine sense tried to come into contact with the new Life Divine Talisman that was flickering between his eyebrows.

Boom!!

As soon as they came into contact, a vast amount of information about the Dao of Talismans and the Talisman Scripture surged over like a tide.

Even with his powerful divine sense that had transformed to the early-stage Nascent Soul Realm, he still felt dizzy at this moment. The moment this vast amount of information surged in, Shen Ping’s pupils suddenly constricted. In the reflection of his pupils, there was actually a huge creature formed completely from 12 special spirit runes. It roared at the sky.

Whoosh.

Just one look at this huge creature and his Niwan Palace’s mental strength was completely exhausted. He fainted.

It was almost noon the next day when Shen Ping regained consciousness. However, there was still shock on his face. At this point, he had long understood that when he dual cultivated with Qiu Ying, who had the Sea Anemone Body, the huge creature he saw was the strange beast in the True Treasure Pavilion’s Beast Scripture.

And the first scroll of the Talisman Beast Scripture, the pattern talisman diagram, was the outline of a portion of the strange beast’s scales. However, it was very difficult to really outline this portion of the scales perfectly. Even if he used the Qian, Stacked, and Return Runes, these three special spirit runes, to create the new Talisman Beast Diagram, he had only copied a portion of its form and had not even touched its true charm.

Originally, Shen Ping had almost given up on continuing to increase the level of copying. This was because he knew very well how difficult it was. Even if he could often clearly see the outline of the strange beast’s scales, he did not have the slightest confidence.

After all, there was no experience to follow. He was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Being able to create a new Talisman Beast Diagram was already the limit caused by many factors.

But now, a new Life Divine Talisman has been condensed. He could actually see the complete strange beast formed by special spirit runes through contact.

This meant that Shen Ping no longer needed to explore on his own in the future. As long as he copied the special combination of spirit runes presented by the talisman scripture, he could continuously advance.

Most importantly, the strange beast formed by the spirit runes of the talisman scriptures was almost a real strange beast in terms of form and charm. It was not something that the scriptures given by the headquarters could compare to.

“From now on, there will be no more questions about the future of the Talisman Scripture! This… is the effect of the second Life Divine Talisman! Shen Ping stood up and paced around the quiet room. His pace became faster and faster. The shock on his face gradually turned into excitement. The excitement that could not be suppressed quietly surged out.

With the new Life Divine Talisman, charging into the top ten of the Glory Ranking was no longer an illusory dream.

A moment later, he stood at the door of the main quiet room. He looked at the hall. His wife and concubines were already waiting there. He smelled the fragrance of the food. Shen Ping could not help but take a deep breath. He immediately felt that today’s meal was especially delicious. He knew that this was a relaxed and stress-free taste.

He walked slowly to the jade table. After sitting down, his eyes swept across his wife, concubine, and Dao companions who each had their own merits. Shen Ping smiled and said, “Let’s eat!” As he spoke, he said silently in his heart, “No matter how difficult the road ahead is, no matter how difficult the future is, as your husband, 1 will protect you.”

True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters

Flying ships descended one after another in the white jade square in front of the endless grassland illusion array.

In the past few days, be it the new core members or the old core members of the Nascent Soul Realm who had cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years, they all rushed back to the headquarters. Although they could see the rare defensive arrays above the hall every day, most of the core members did not feel too afraid. After all, the True Treasure Pavilion was a top faction that spanned the five continents and four seas. It had a strong foundation and abundant resources. It had even experienced countless years without falling.

They firmly believed that with the strength of the headquarters, they could definitely easily deal with this calamity. If the True Treasure Pavilion could not resist, it was useless to be afraid with their cultivation and strength.

It was precisely because of this that not only did the atmosphere in the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion not become oppressive, but it also became lively because of the arrival of many core members.

Many members gathered together and discussed in the hall of Mountain Fire Hall in front of the huge Glory Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

“Third place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!”

“Talisman Master Jing Yu’s progress is too fast. He advanced again after two years of silence!”

“That’s right. He should have passed the fourth level of the trial. He needs to completely master the five volumes of the Talisman Beast Diagram to do that.”

“1 didn’t expect such a monstrous Talisman Dao genius to appear in our Mountain Fire Hall. He’s also a core disciple. I’ve only comprehended the first volume of the beast skin until now!”

“Talisman Master Jing Yu is indeed a rare genius. Unfortunately, he can’t compare to Talisman Master Shen!”

“It’s not that he can’t compare, but he can’t compare at all.”

“Talisman Master Shen was able to comprehend the ultimate beast form from the first scroll of the Talisman Beast Diagram without any help and resources. This is no longer the category of geniuses.”

Hearing the sighs in his ears, Li Yin’s expression was calm, but there was a smile on his lips. However, when he thought about how Shen Ping was still in the Linhai Immortal City, he felt helpless.

Although there was still a long time before the calamity arrived, who knew if it would be brought forward? If an accident happened, no matter how good his Talisman Dao talent was or how great his potential was, it would be meaningless.

“Three more years! As long as Talisman Master Shen can’t comprehend the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram, 1 have to bring him to the headquarters no matter what!”

Actually, he was not the only one. Now, many members and higher-ups of the various halls in the headquarters were paying attention to Shen Ping. For the fact that he did not return to headquarters, many cultivators were puzzled. Some of the higher-ups even sent a message to Li Yin’s master to ask about the reason. Li Yin’s master could only say that Shen Ping still had some matters to deal with.

The discussion in the hall continued.

It’s been two years since Talisman Master Shen returned to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. I heard from Fellow Daoist Li that he has already comprehended the first four volumes of the Green Talisman Sutra and is preparing to study the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture. How long do you think Talisman Master Shen will take to comprehend it?”

“It took Talisman Master Jing Yu five months back then, but he only comprehended the most basic talisman diagram. He didn’t even comprehend the essence, let alone the beast form. Talisman Master Shen was able to comprehend the beast form in the first volume, so he should continue with the second volume. I reckon it will take a longer time.”

“That’s right. The difficulty of the second volume is too high. I’m afraid it will take five to six years.”

n

It’s already very fast to comprehend a trace of beast form in five to six years. I think it will take at least seven years, which is when the headquarters reviews and evaluates!”

“In that case, it will take Talisman Master Shen seven to eight years to enter the Glory Ranking?”

“The Glory Ranking only shows the top 100 members, and all these core members have cultivated for more than four to five hundred years. If Talisman Master Shen can really do it, it’s very unbelievable!”

Their voices echoed in the hall.

Talisman Master Jing Yu, who had a determined expression and was wearing a long robe embroidered with white brocade patterns, passed by the entrance of the hall at this moment. When he heard these discussions, the joy in his heart because he had rushed to the top three instantly disappeared.

He gritted his teeth and walked towards the hall where Mountain Fire Hall Master was.

Beast Scripture Pavilion. No matter what, he had to go in again.

Half a month later, Linhai Immortal City, Yongyang Workshop.

Qiu Ying was wearing a jade-colored gauze dress. Her graceful and plump curves were faintly visible under the crystal light. Her arms were propped on the ground, and the straight lines of her legs were maintained.

Shen Ping couldn’t help but praise her, “Not only is Ying’er proficient in this set of body techniques, but you seem to have formed an instinct.”

Qiu Ying said coquettishly, “It’s all thanks to my husband’s exquisite painting skills that I can constantly improve.”

Hearing this, Shen Ping glanced at the beautiful scenery of the valley hanging on the wall and said with a smile, “Other than painting skills, I’m also very good at the bamboo flute. If you want to play the natural sound of a person, the most important thing is to find the hole in the flute.”

Qiu Ying’s legs tensed, and her charming voice sounded. “How do we find the flute holes?”

H

I’ll show you now.”

He took out the bamboo flute. Shen Ping first used his fingertips to touch the bamboo tube carefully. After grasping the subtle traces of the flute hole, he blew on it with his lips. The sound of the flute lingered in the air. It was as urgent as a sudden rain, but also as heavy as a drum.

However, that pleasant voice was like the spring water in the mountain stream, making people unable to stop listening.

Qiu Ying’s eyes were filled with desire. Just as the flute was about to reach the highest melody of the tune, she could not help but blurt out, “Husband’s bamboo flute skills are really superb. It really blew the mountains and rivers..”
