Pei Huoyu could not react for a moment. When she came back to her senses, the broad figure had already put away the Talisman Beast Scripture and walked out of the Cloud Beast Carriage. She took a deep breath and hurriedly followed.
However, just as she was about to ask Shen Ping what he meant, the other party turned around and said with a smile, “Perfected Pei, in the past, we used to walk too quickly from the entrance of Yongyang Market to the courtyard. We didn’t seriously admire the scenery along the way. Why don’t we walk slower today? Let’s walk for an hour.” With that, he flicked his sleeve and took a small step.
Pei Huoyu looked at the snail-like footsteps and shock surged on her valiant face. Her heart was in turmoil. Because she knew that the time limit for the fifth level of the trial space was an hour. Which meant, Shen Ping wanted to challenge the fifth level of the trial space between the entrance of the street and the courtyard.
She recalled what she had said when he got out of the car. Coupled with these words, Pei Huoyu was completely silent. After a long while, she raised her eyes with difficulty and looked at the figure walking slowly. Then, she took out her identity jade token and sent a message to Li Yin. “Senior Brother, among the past core members of the True Treasure Pavilion, what’s the shortest time one takes to comprehend the second volume of the various scriptures derived from the Beast Scripture?”
Her identity jade token quickly lit up and Li Yin’s voice sounded. “Three months.”
The True Treasure Pavilion’s scriptures were very precious. Only by comprehending one scripture could one apply for the next. Therefore, the progress of the core members’ comprehension was basically recorded.
Pei Huoyu’s eyelids trembled slightly. She bit the corner of her lips and tried her best to make her voice calm. She asked again, “Senior Brother, do you think… one can completely comprehend the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture in four hours?”
“How is this possible!” Li Yin could not help but laugh and say, “Junior Sister, that’s the Talisman Beast Scripture. Moreover, the second volume is extremely difficult. Not to mention four hours of comprehension, it will take a long time to see through the talisman diagram on the scroll. It’s said that it took Talisman Master Jing Yu more than a month to see the shape of the second volume.”
Pei Huoyu replied, “What if—1 mean, what if someone manages to do it?”
“Junior Sister, you’ve always been rational and calm. Why did you make such a joke with me… Wait, if I remember correctly, half a month has passed since the day the rewards of the Glory Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking were distributed. According to the speed of the flying ship, the sword envoy of the Sword Hall has already arrived at the Linhai Immortal City. Other than the reward, he should also have the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture.”
When Li Yin spoke up to this point, his voice suddenly lowered. “Junior Sister, you can’t be referring to Talisman Master Shen, right? That’s impossible. No matter how talented he is in Talisman Daoism, he can’t understand the second volume in four hours. Not only does he have to see through the talisman diagram, but he also has to make an outline of it. The second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram is complicated and varied. It will probably take an hour to make an outline. It’s considered fast if he can try to make five or six in four hours!”
Seeing that there was no response from the identity jade token, Li Yin remembered that his junior sister never seemed to lie. His voice could not help but change. “Junior Sister, is this true?”
Pei Huoyu shook his head. “I don’t know, but Fellow Daoist Shen should have begun to challenge the fifth level of the trial space. Master once said that if he comprehends the second volume, he might be able to enter the Glory Ranking with his talisman Dao techniques!”
Li Yin ended the transmission and came to the hall of the Mountain Fire as quickly as possible. He stared intently at the two huge floating lists. His mind fluctuated. He comprehended the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram in four hours.
This was simply a fantasy. However, if Talisman Master Shen really entered the Glory Ranking, Li Yin did not dare to imagine what it would mean.
In the assessment space.
Shen Ping stood in the center of the palace that was carved with the pattern of a strange beast. A gentle voice sounded in her ears. “The new core member, Shen Ping. Please choose the skill you want to train in.”
“Talisman Dao.” As his voice fell, the talismans on the wall of the palace immediately lit up.
“The trial space you can currently reach is the fifth level. Please choose.”
“I choose the fifth level!
■I
Whoosh.
A gentle light surged out of the strange beast pattern and enveloped Shen Ping in the blink of an eye. As his vision returned, he was already in the environment of Lake Heart Island that was hundreds of feet wide. When he looked up, he saw a lake that was like a mirror.
As the lake water rippled, a gentle voice sounded in the sky again. “The fifth level of the trial is about to begin. Please be ready.”
Five breaths passed. The edge of the island instantly flickered with rune array lights. These lights quickly condensed into a defensive spiritual light barrier.
Swish, swish, swish.
Almost instantly, a large number of strange snakes with triangular patterns on their heads jumped out of the surrounding lake. Moreover, there were four snakes with cicada wings on their backs. There were 5,000 of them. When they swept their gazes, they felt like they could blot out the sky.
Shen Ping calmly took out the talisman material.
“Qian, Stack, Return, Run, Cocoon… There are a total of 100 spirit runes derived from the fusion of the five special spirit runes. It’s much less than the 800 spirit runes derived from the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture. An hour is enough to complete it!
“However, when I copied for four hours previously, I could only barely make a simple outline. I still need to familiarize myself with the details so that 1 can do it more smoothly in one go. In that case, 1’11 slowly outline it this time.”
Although he wanted to challenge the fifth level of the trial space, he wasn’t nervous at all. Instead, he treated this trial as his own tempering. As his divine sense thought about the Life Divine Talisman in the depths of his sea of consciousness,
The strange talisman scripture beast that was clearly visible like the patterns on his palm immediately appeared in his eyes. His eyes landed on the outline of the horn’s surface. He picked up the talisman brush and began to draw.
As he became proficient in the copying within that four hours, this time, he wasn’t rusty at all. The spirit runes derived from the five superimposed special spirit runes became smooth and didn’t look like stiff copying anymore.
Bam! Bam!
The attacks of the 5,000 densely packed triangular snakes became faster and faster. The energy of the rune arrays flickering on the surface of the island’s defensive spiritual light was constantly consumed, and the light gradually dimmed.
However, Shen Ping acted as if he did not see it. He was fully focused on making the new talisman beast’s single horn diagram. Although he was not very familiar with each step, he did not stop.
Time passed slowly. Shen Ping’s drawing speed became faster and faster. Even without looking at the strange beast’s horn, the patterns on its surface seemed to have been imprinted in his heart. The key to the combination of the five special spirit runes was almost engraved in his muscle memory.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of spirit runes appeared on the paper. As the talisman brush stopped, a single-horned drawing of a strange beast was done.
Roar!
Before Shen Ping could admire his achievements, a faint beast roar came from the Single-Horned Talisman Beast Diagram. His heart shook. He immediately felt dizzy and dazzled.
At this moment, the Life Divine Talisman hidden in the depths of his sea of consciousness shook. It immediately suppressed the power of the talisman diagram that could not be restrained. Only then did Shen Ping relax a lot. He looked at the vivid outline of a single horn on the special talisman. Satisfaction appeared on his face.
After all, it could activate the Life Divine Talisman. This undoubtedly meant that the Single-Horned Talisman Beast Diagram he copied this time was very powerful. It should already have some true strange beast charm. Although it had yet to reach the perfect Single-Horned Talisman Scripture, the overall copy exceeded 60%.
He turned his gaze. Shen Ping’s eyes landed on the large number of strange snake beasts outside the defensive spiritual light. Without any hesitation, he directly controlled the Single-Horned Talisman Diagram of the strange beast and threw it out.
Swoosh.
As soon as the Talisman Beast Diagram floated outside the defensive spiritual light, the special talisman paper could no longer restrain the power of the Single-Horned Talisman Diagram.
Psst. As the talisman burned, the power released by the single-horn talisman diagram vaguely condensed into the phantom of a huge creature. Although it looked very faint, the aura emitted by its phantom actually made these strange snakes dispirited.
Roar! A shocking beast roar sounded again.
Puff, puff, puff! The flesh and blood of a large number of dispirited strange snakes instantly shattered under this beast roar, turning into a rain of blood that sprinkled on the mirror-like lake.
“The new core member, Shen Ping. Congratulations on passing the fifth level of the trial! Please rest for a while and head to the next level.”
He heard a gentle voice in the air. Shen Ping was stunned. He had never expected that just copying 60% of the Talisman Scripture’s strange beast horn could actually cause such terrifying power.
One had to know that the defense of the lake snakes was much stronger than that of the swamp beasts on the fourth level. He originally estimated that he would only use the new Single-Horned Talisman Beast Diagram to kill three to four hundred strange snake beasts, but in the end, he actually passed.
In the hall of Mountain Fire Hall.
Only Li Yin and a small number of members were on duty in front of the huge list floating. Usually, before the rewards of the rankings were distributed, many cultivators in the hall would come to the main hall to look at the rankings. This was because at this time, the rankings would usually change.
And now, basically no one would rush to the rankings. There was no change in the ranking. Even cultivators who wanted to relax and cultivate their mental state would not come.
“Fellow Daoist Li. Didn’t that Talisman Master Shen just apply to comprehend the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture? It’s useless for you to look at the rankings now.”
“Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li is paying attention to the other core members?”
The few members on duty in Mountain Fire Hall teased with a smile. They all knew that Li Yin only cared about Talisman Master Shen. After all, his junior sister was his Dao Protector, so their relationship was naturally much closer.
Under normal circumstances, Li Yin had to chat with these members, but he was not in the mood. The fifth level of the trial space was an hour. It was about to end.
Whoosh.
At this moment, the top 100 of the Glory Ranking suddenly changed. Li Yin, who was staring at the rankings, looked at the bottom of the Glory Ranking. At first glance, nothing! The second time, the third time… he looked at it repeatedly for more than ten breaths.
Li Yin did not even see Shen Ping’s name. He shook his head helplessly. He wondered what was wrong with him. Could it be that he really believed his junior sister’s words about comprehending the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram in four hours?!
This was simply impossible. It was already confirmed that Shen Ping was not at the bottom of the top 100 of the Glory Ranking.
“Eh, there’s really a change in the top hundred of the Glory Ranking.” The members on duty also noticed the difference in the rankings. They looked over. They first looked at the end and then continued to look up.
Ranked 65th—Shen Ping.
When they saw this familiar name, these members were all stunned. However, very quickly, they rubbed their eyes hard and focused again.
It was really Shen Ping!
Oh my god. This was the Glory Ranking! The top 100 represented the most talented Nascent Soul core members of the True Treasure Pavilion!
New cores wanting to be at the end of the list was difficult! Real difficult! Not to mention the 65th place was much higher. But what did they see?
A Hidden Dragon Rank leader who should not have appeared in this position suddenly stood here..
