Chapter 181: Might of the Divine Power of the Talisman Beast Diagram
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the second floor of the training space inside the jade token, Shen Ping looked around. The pitch-black environment was extremely oppressive. Densely packed strange rocks spread into the depths. There were more of them than on the first level, as if there was no end to them.
“The new core member, Shen Ping. The content of the second level’s assessment is to kill all…”
As the gentle voice sounded, A semi-circular defensive spiritual light of rune arrays surged out from the dark ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The moment the spiritual light enveloped Shen Ping, three strange stone beasts came alive and crashed into the defensive spiritual light like meteors. Layers of energy ripples immediately appeared on the surface, and the light dimmed a lot.
Shen Ping’s eyelids twitched.
Good God.
Not only did the number of jagged rocks on the second level skyrocket, but even their offensive power seemed to have increased by several times. He estimated that the defensive spiritual light could last for at most two hours. If he still made the first scroll of the Talisman Beast Diagram, it was impossible for him to pass the second level.
What should he do? Shen Ping’s thoughts raced. Currently, other than the Talisman Beast Diagram, he only has Talisman Dao Mystique. But the problem was, even if he made ordinary Lightning Talismans, he could only make ten at most after two hours. At that time, he might not be able to kill so many strange rocks with his divine power.
Bang!
In just a dozen breaths of thought, the defensive spiritual light shook non-stop, and the surrounding strange rocks attacked crazily like moths to a flame.
“I can only try to use the talisman beast diagram to unleash my divine power!”
The talisman beast diagram was extremely powerful. Five or six of them could kill 500 strange rocks.
However, the talisman beast diagram was also extremely unstable. Even if it was drawn on a talisman paper, it would easily explode. If it was a talisman master like Perfected Yun Ya, he would naturally be able to easily control the talisman beast diagram and make it like ordinary talismans that would not explode easily.
But Shen Ping could not. This was because after the talisman beast diagram was outlined with special beast blood and talismans, its power far exceeded that of using magic power in the void. His cultivation and divine sense were simply insufficient, and he had never tried to do this.
However, time was too tight now. There was no time for Shen Ping to carefully consider this possibility. He calmed his mind and prayed. He immediately buried his head in making the talisman beast diagram.
Whether he could succeed or not, he had to give it a try.
As time passed, the ranking members of the Glory Ranking and the Hidden Dragon Ranking gradually stabilized, but there were still many core members rushing for the rankings, especially the older members of the previous batches. After the initial conservative probing, they began to truly show their skills on the second level.
After all, this was the first time the True Treasure Pavilion had used it in a jade token. Many members would not completely erupt from the beginning. Instead, they would do all kinds of exploring. When they understood, they would not hold back.
Mountain Fire Hall.
Li Yin, the purple-robed Nascent Soul expert in charge of Shen Ping’s assessment, had been paying attention to the changes in the rankings. Apart from being displayed in the jade token space, the rankings would also be displayed in the main halls of the various halls and pavilions.
Because the new Talisman Dao genius disciple recruited by Mountain Fire Hall Master was charging for the rankings, many members, including Li Yin, were staring at the rankings.
“It’s falling again!”
“In the beginning, Talisman Master Jing Yu was ranked first. In the end, he fell to fifth place!”
“Talisman Master Jing Yu is a new core. He knows that he can’t compete with some members of the previous batch, so he will definitely use his strongest strength to rush to the rankings. However, with the talent of Talisman Master Jing Yu, he should be able to be in the top ten in the first half of the year.”
“Yes, this is only the beginning. It’s normal to fall behind.”
Listening to the discussions of the other members in the hall, Li Yin remained silent. He stared at Shen Ping, who was also falling, and his eyes revealed excitement. “Although he only rushed to second place for a short period of time, it’s already very good. As long as he can stabilize his rankings on the Hidden Dragon Rankings after today, his future is promising!”
Suddenly, the identity jade token in his arms vibrated slightly. He took it out and scanned it. It was a message from his junior sister. “Senior Brother, can you see the rankings? H-has Fellow Daoist Shen rushed to the Hidden Dragon Ranking?”
Hearing the voice, Li Yin smiled and walked out of the hall before replying, “Junior Sister, when you come to the headquarters next time, you have to treat me to a drink.”
At the same time, in the quiet room of the small courtyard of the Linhai Immortal City’s Yongyang Market.
When Pei Huoyu heard this, a smile appeared on her valiant face. “Senior Brother, it seems like Fellow Daoist Shen has already rushed to the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Furthermore, his ranking is not low.”
“Junior Sister is smart. That’s right. Currently, Talisman Master Shen is ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Although it will definitely continue to fall in the future, looking at his momentum, there’s a high chance that he can stay on the Hidden Dragon Ranking steadily in the end. Of course, it doesn’t matter even if he doesn’t succeed. After studying and comprehending for a few more years, he will definitely be on the rankings!”
They chatted for a while before Pei Huoyu put away the jade token and looked at the main quiet room with anticipation in her eyes. “Sixth place… Fellow Daoist Shen, whether I can take off this light armor dress depends on your future efforts!”
A wisp of relief appeared on the corners of her mouth. Incentives were incentives. In her heart, it was enough as long as Shen Ping could stabilize his rankings on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Continuous access to restricted resources for more than a decade. Even low-level resources were enough to allow his cultivation path to undergo a huge transformation.
On the second floor of the training space.
Jing Yu looked at the strange rocks that were attacking the defensive spiritual light crazily and frowned deeply. After nearly two hours of making talismans, he had already made three more powerful second volume Talisman Beast Diagrams, but he had only killed seven hundred strange rocks.
And there were still 300 outside the defensive spiritual light!
Bam! Bam!
The remaining jagged rocks were still colliding fiercely, causing the spiritual light to dim every time. The defense was about to collapse. However, Jing Yu could only grit his teeth and continue to make talismans. He had no other choice.
Any ordinary talisman, even a Level 3 offensive talisman, would find it difficult to affect these strange stone demon beasts.
Five minutes passed.
Bam.
The defensive spiritual light shattered.
Jing Yu’s body immediately surged with the light of the shield talisman, but the strange rock easily shattered the defense of the shield talisman that could withstand the continuous attacks of a Golden Core expert.
The moment his consciousness went dark, there was only one thought in his mind. “The second level of the trial is too f*cking difficult!”
In Shen Ping’s training space.
The strange rock demon beasts that were like locusts kept colliding. There was not much energy left in the rune array on the surface of the defensive spiritual light. The entire defense was dim and only a little light was left.
Shen Ping was still holding the talisman brush and drawing with all his attention. However, his every move was very slow, as if he was enduring the pressure with all his might. Beside him, the four talisman beast diagrams trembled. It seemed like it could explode at any moment.
It was relatively easy for him to control one talisman beast diagram with his powerful divine sense at the Golden Core Realm, but it would be difficult if it was the second and third one. When it came to the fourth one, Shen Ping felt that he had reached his limit. However, this was his divine sense body after all, and there was no physical restriction. Although his mind was exhausted, he could still continue to endure it under the drive of his will.
Bam! Bam!
The defensive spiritual light swayed. Even the dark rocky ground was trembling. As the last stroke landed, the fifth talisman beast diagram was finally completed. Shen Ping raised his eyes and looked at the defensive rune array that was about to completely dissipate. He muttered softly—Sea of Talisman!
Boom!
The moment the Talisman Dao Mystique was activated, the five talisman beast diagrams circled around Shen Ping and quickly condensed into a circular talisman light above and behind him.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The moment the talisman light spun, the five powerful talisman beast diagrams were completely burned, emitting an incomparably dazzling pillar of light.
Boom!!
This pillar of light immediately produced an indescribably terrifying power. It rushed forward at a destructive speed. The rune array that was about to collapse completely dissipated. A large number of strange rocks rushed towards Shen Ping crazily. However, as soon as they came into contact with the pillar of light, their thick defense shattered.
In just a few breaths, thousands of strange stone demon beasts were completely annihilated. The entire dark environment fell silent.
“Congratulations to the new core member, Shen Ping! You have successfully passed the second level of the trial. Please rest for a moment and head to the next level.” A gentle voice sounded.
Exhausted to the extreme, Shen Ping could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. But at this moment, the ground gradually emitted a strange light that enveloped Shen Ping. His spirit and magic power quickly recovered.
At the same time.
In the hall of the Mountain Fire Hall. Many members who were staring at the Hidden Dragon Rankings noticed a name that had already fallen to more than 30. It was charging forward at an extremely fast speed.
It’s Shen Ping, who was ranked second at the beginning!”
“He actually rushed to the top ten again… He’s still charging. Fifth, third, second, he’s back to second place!”
“H-how is this possible? Isn’t he a new member who just passed the headquarters’ assessment a few years ago?!”
“A new member from a few years ago? Isn’t he in the same batch as Talisman Master Jing Yu?”
The members in the hall who were looking at the rankings were stunned when they heard the discussion.
Talisman Master Jing Yu could be said to be a monstrous Talisman Dao genius. Even their Hall Master had personally taken him in as a disciple and focused on nurturing him. His ranking on the Hidden Dragon Ranking had fallen to 16th place. Although it seemed to have stabilized, they knew that Talisman Master Jing Yu had stopped at the second level of the Trial Assessment Space and could not continue to fight for the ranking for the time being.
And now, a new core disciple who was in the same batch as Talisman Master
Jing Yu had actually rushed back to second place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!
This was simply unbelievable..
