Talisman Emperor
Chapter 263 – Writing Heavenly Talismans
Chen Xi sat cross-legged in the star realm. The sky here was extremely magical, as if an invisible layer of earth had been laid in the sky, and there was not the slightest bit of discomfort when he sat on it.
In front of him was an ancient and simple sword base.
After a long time and once there was no trace of disturbing thoughts residing in his mind, Chen Xi's hand moved abruptly. His fingers fluttered as the edges turned into layers upon layers of images in the air, and they looked like butterflies that flashed past the flowers and had an incomparable speed.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A voice as if a swarm of bees flapping their wings sounded, while Chen Xi's fingers were circled by a circle after a misty circle of light that looked like layer after layer of circular-shaped ripples appearing on the lake, and they're very pretty
This was the equipment refinement technique that Ji Yu had passed down to him, and the effect was very simple: it would open up enough space to inscribe the heavenly talisman at the base of the sword.
Many profound seals were imprinted onto the base of the sword, causing a space to gradually open within the base of the sword, and if one's mind immersed itself into this space, it would, one would see that this space was 3 km wide and completely empty. However when looking from the outside, the sword base was only 1 m long.
His theory was similar to the placement of large objects in small objects, such as the technique used when repairing Magic Treasures storage, and all of them developed a large space within a small area.
The Azurewood Divine Talisman was able to cultivate sword intelligence when it was at the base of the sword, so I will start from here. Chen Xi took a deep breath before once again recalling the structure of the various talisman marks contained within the Azurewood Divine Talisman, and then he rode his heavenly Sense to gush into the space developed within the base of the sword.
It's a completely empty space. Chen Xi measured it for a moment before circulating the True Essence on his body and turning it into a fine line like cow hair, and under the control of his Divine Sense, it was, this line slowly moved to write down this space.
This method of writing talisman marks was actually exactly the same as using talisman paper and a brush to draw talismans. Just because Heavenly Sense had replaced his hand, True Essence replaced the ink, and the space instead replaced the talisman paper.
Hiss ~ Hiss ~ Hiss ~ Hiss ~
By the time the profound and clear talisman marks appeared in this space, they were tainted by a green and luxurious light that gradually hid itself along with the talisman mark. This blue-colored talisman marked the lines that had appeared starting to fuse into different structures, yet it was not the slightest bit disorganized and revealed a sense of orderly beauty.
When viewed from afar, the talisman mark that was gradually incised within the room was like a small tree stretching out its long, thin, branches, and dense as he made great efforts to spread into the environment, and then many by many leaves and many blue-colored flowers grew. The whole process was very natural, profound, and graceful, and did not have the slightest mark of artificial work.
This was merely a single talisman marking structure in the Azurewood Divine Talisman, and there were at least several hundred thousand talisman marks with this kind of structure throughout the Azurewood Divine Talisman, causing it to become extremely dense, complicated, and complex, and as wide as the sea.
Fortunately, after experiencing the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture, Chen Xi's deduction ability had reached an extremely great level. Moreover, he had very high achievements in the craft of talismans. Otherwise, just by looking at the signs of this talisman would cause one's vision to become blurred, let alone be able to discern the difference and use of each.
But even then, Chen Xi had to be careful, and her mind had never been centered. Even though he had only written down the structure of the Azisewood Divine Talisman talisman mark, as long as the slightest mistake appeared, he had to start writing it down from the beginning, and such an outcome was something that he absolutely could not accept.
Just think about it, a single Azurewood Divine Talisman marking structure took five years to write. If the errors appear in a row, then how much time is wasted?
So Chen Xi had decided early on that he could only succeed and would absolutely not allow failure!
It was precisely because of this pressure that his entire mind would be so concentrated, and there was not even the slightest intrusive thought in his mind. Only a large number of talismans marking the buildings walking along the graceful path remained in his eyes. At this moment, even if an ordinary person were to approach Chen Xi, he might not have noticed the arrival of that person at all.
"Hmm?" After six hours, a sense of familiarity suddenly enveloped his heart when he saw the pattern of talisman marks he wrote in the deep space at the base of the sword.
This talisman marking pattern brings together 100 kinds of talisman marking structure. When viewed from afar, it was like a green and dense leaf swaying from the wind, and the veins on its surface were extremely detailed and showed an overflowing sense of spirit.
Where exactly did I see it?
Chen Xi's brows were tightly intertwined. A flash of memory suddenly appeared in his mind, allowing him to recall immediately. Wasn't the Second Wood Shaman Marking on my back exactly in this leaf shape?
No wonder it's so familiar. This Second Wood Shaman marking is actually a kind of talisman marking pattern. Moreover, it was contained within the Azurewood Divine Talisman. Could it be that Senior Fuxi had taken the reference of this heavenly Talisman to create the Star Universe Bodybuilding Art? Or maybe it was because of the Second Wood Shaman Marker that Senior Fuxi understood about the Azurewood Sacred Talisman? Chen Xi vaguely felt that it was not just the Azurewood Divine Talisman and the other four types of Divine Talismans might be strongly related to the Universe Starslayer Bodyforging Arts.
Perhaps, since I have already mastered the essence of these five heavenly talismans, it will be able to inflict an unexpected beneficial effect on my body refinement cultivation … Chen Xi did not continue pondering and once again immersed himself into writing the sign talisman.
Time passed by bit by bit, and seven full days passed by unknowingly.
During these seven days, Chen Xi was like a stone that did not have the slightest perception of the outside world, and she focused her attention on writing the talisman signs and working completely tirelessly. Only when the heavenly sense in his sea of consciousness dried up and the True Essence in his Dantian dried up did he instantly awaken from his concentrated state.
Without the slightest delay, he began cultivating while sitting cross-legged to recover his strength. Fortunately, there was a lot of spirit liquid inside the Buddha Pagoda, and it was enough for him to recover the True Essence in a short period of time, whereas, it was, the recovery of his soul force only required him to meditate and visualize the Fuxi Divine Statue.
In seven days, I have written less than 2,000 kinds of talisman marking structures. According to this speed, as long as nothing unexpected happened, I was indeed able to successfully write down the Azurewood Divine Talisman within five years, and he sensed his soul force and True Essence had already recovered to an optimal state. There was no discomfort in his body and mind, so he once again immersed himself in the talisman signs writing.
Chen Xi was completely unaware that as the number of talisman marking structures he wrote increased, the knowledge and deduction abilities within the Dao of Talismans subconsciously advanced by leaps and bounds.
Perhaps when he finished writing these five types of heavenly talismans, his understanding of the Dao Talisman would be able to reach incredible heights.
Of course, although the Dao of Talismans was vague, difficult, and extremely complicated, its use encompassed many things, such as equipment refinement, pill refinement, puppet crafts, setting up a grand formation … All of them needed the Dao of Talismans to support them.
Take for example equipment repair. Just having a furnace and materials was not enough, and it also required the cooperation of the various talisman formations and the writing of various talisman marks before it could be refined into a first-rate Magic Treasure.
In the cultivation world, a formidable equipment repair grandmaster would definitely be proficient in talisman formations, but talisman formation grandmasters were capable of becoming a competent equipment distiller, alchemist, and various other professions.
But the grandmaster and grandmaster repair equipment in alchemy was very few. For example, in the Darchu Dynasty, there were only ten plus people who were grandmasters of refining equipment that were a bit formidable, and could be said to be rare like phoenix feathers and qilin horns. But precisely because of their rarity, the equipment refinement grandmasters had extremely high status and received a deep respect from the cultivators of the world.
Under ordinary circumstances, there was absolutely no one willing to offend a great figure of the same class as an equipment repair grandmaster. After all, everyone lived in the cultivation world, and one could not avoid lacking some suitable treasures and magic equipment. If they offended the equipment repair grandmaster, then who would refine the Magic Treasure for them?
It was precisely because the Dao of Talismans encompassed such a wide range that it would seem so complicated and contain everything in the world.
Time passed, and unknowingly, three years had passed.
During these three years, other than writing down the talisman marks, Chen Xi was meditating and cultivating. Although his cultivation had not gained a great improvement, his heavenly sense had clearly advanced. Right now, his Divine Sense strength was enough to compare to a Rebirth Realm cultivator, and when extended, all the movements within the 500km area would clearly be reflected in his heart.
Moreover, along with the increase in the number of talisman marks he had written, Chen Xi's understanding of the Azurewood Divine Talisman grew deeper and deeper, and the speed at which he wrote down the structure of the talisman mark grew faster and faster as well.
This also made him understand the words Ji Yu spoke that day. Refining the Talisman Armament was the most direct method to cultivate the five heavenly Talismans, and it was also the fastest method to master the five heavenly Talismans.
During this period of time, Ji Yu came to the star realm on many occasions to visit Chen Xi, who was, and when he saw Chen Xi ignoring the food and sleeping to write down the talisman marks and not paying any attention at all to the movements in the outside world, Ji Yu felt extremely grateful in her heart and increasingly admired Chen Xi.
It could be said that for the past one million years, Chen Xi was the only person Ji Yu had recognized. Moreover, Ji Yu seemed to have regarded Chen Xi as the heir disciple of his master in his heart.
As for the other people who entered the Manor, most of them did not obtain the Manor's recognition, and even if it crossed the 18 levels of the Heavenpeak of Trials, there had never been a single person who had succeeded.
Time continued to travel like a shuttle flashing in the sky, and unknowingly, two years had passed quickly.
On this day, after Chen Xi woke up from his meditation, he did not anxiously start writing down the structure of the talisman mark, but instead he took a deep breath and quietly rested his mind and soul.
Only the last talisman marking structure was left in the entire Azurewood Divine Talisman, and it was also the most difficult talisman marking structure. It took Chen Xi to immediately finish writing the 108 talisman marks to form a new talisman mark structure. Thus he would cooperate with the other marking talismans to perfectly merge into the entire heavenly Talisman, and at this point, the Azurewood Heavenly Talisman could be said to be successfully completed.
The achievement to complete the inscription of these 108 talisman marks had extremely harsh requirements towards Divine Sense and True Essence Chen Xi. His Divine Sense Energy had to instantly capture the paths of the 108 talisman marks, whereas, his True Essence had to be evenly separated into 108 pieces to draw the talisman marks at the same time.
All of this is not difficult, and the difficulty lies in getting it done instantly. If an accident were to occur at one of the steps, the entire heavenly Talisman would collapse, and the result was that all the hard work he had put in over five years would be in vain!
"Do you want to rest for a few days?" Suddenly, Ji Yu appeared at Chen Xi's side, and his gaze swept across the base of the sword and seemed to have already seen Chen Xi's current situation.
"no need. I am at peak condition now. The only thing I have to do is to let go of this state completely at this point. '' Chen Xi shook her head as she spoke.
Ji Yu had actually noticed that Chen Xi's disposition was so calm that it far surpassed his estimate. It felt like Chen Xi was completely confident and had everything in her control a long time ago, and her calmness revealed an extremely strong confidence.
Ji Yu did not advise Chen Xi anymore, and he stood by the side with his hands behind his back as he waited for Chen Xi to complete the final step.
After 15 minutes had passed, Chen Xi once again sat cross-legged on the ground with a relaxed and indifferent expression, and his eyes were clear and deep like a starry sky, whereas, his, His heavenly sense and True Essence had turned into 108 fine lines like a strand of hair at the same time before stretching out into the space within the sword base.
At this moment, the space was not completely empty anymore, and was instead covered with layers of talisman mark patterns that were dense like a starry sky. Foggy blue rays flowed endlessly and they looked a raging green color that was filled with vitality. Only the tip of the pattern still had a residual void that was hard to find with the naked eye, and it caused the entire pattern to be slightly incomplete.
Swooshes!
The 108 strands of True Essence and Heavenly Sense looked like countless agile tentacles from an octopus. By the time they appeared in this space, they practically did not hesitate in the slightest before following along a path that seemed to have been measured long ago, and they drilled an incomplete blank trail.
This series of moments only happened in an instant, and it was as if it had never happened at all.
Om!
Within the entire space, the dense talisman mark pattern like a starry sky was suddenly encompassed by countless dazzling and brilliant green lights that shone like waterfalls, and it seemed as if the surface of the deadly silent ocean suddenly surged as signs of talismans flickered.
A wisp of intelligence suddenly appeared at the base of the pitch-black and simple sword, and it was like a wooden puppet possessing a soul, causing it to echo with a cold and melodious howl of a sword.
Clearly, the Azurewood Sacred Talisman had been successfully carved!
