Chapter 322: Completed the Last Volume of the Beast Form (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“The fifth volume of the beast form is the most difficult volume to comprehend and study. There are more than 13,000 derived spirit runes, and their combination is complicated and varied. Just completely comprehending every single one will take a long time. Most of the skill cores in the headquarters have been delayed by this volume for many years. Under normal circumstances, core members at the C levels will need a hundred years to comprehend it, while B-level cores will need a sixty-year period. Outstanding people in A-level will also have to experience dozens of years.
“The fastest time for the headquarters to comprehend and outline this ordinary talisman diagram is twelve years.” There was a hint of a smile in Perfected Yu’s voice. “Talisman Master Shen, 1 believe that with your talent and comprehension, you should be able to break this record.” He sounded quite confident in Shen Ping. After all, he had been teaching for many days. He had already fully realized Shen Ping’s monstrous talent.
“Senior Yu, you’re too kind.” Shen Ping hurriedly said humbly.
Perfected Yu smiled and continued, “This fifth volume is a beast-shaped outline of the entire strange beast. If you just want to outline ordinary talismans, you only need to understand the complicated combination of more than 13,000 derived spirit runes. However, if you want to comprehend the final beast form, you have to integrate the charm and concept of the final form of the hoof, claw, and whip tail into it.
“In the past, you have always created your own spirit runes. It’s even more difficult to rely on your own creation for this volume. And only the top 30 members of the Glory Ranking can make it take shape and has a charm!” Speaking of this, he turned around and followed the usual practice of his previous teachings. His fingertips surged with magic power as he outlined the final beast form talisman diagram of the fifth volume in the hall.
Twenty minutes passed, a lifelike behemoth appeared in the void. A low roar sounded from the hall. The moment the voice sounded, space trembled.
The array formation in the side hall instantly enveloped Shen Ping, Ying Yue, and Yu Qingling. Moreover, energy light that looked like chains extended out and wrapped around the fifth beast-shaped talisman diagram outlined by Perfected Yu.
“Talisman Master Shen, you can comprehend it yourself. If you have any questions, you can ask outside the hall at any time.”
With that, Perfected Yu left the side hall. In the long pavilion in the corridor, Hall Master Dan Hai was sitting at the stone table and drinking tea. Today was the fifth volume of teaching. It was important.
This was because as long as he understood the final state of the beast-shaped talisman diagram, Shen Ping might be able to rely on his talisman techniques to rush to the top three of the Glory Ranking. At that time, he would really have the possibility of competing for the inheritance of the Beast Scripture.
Hearing footsteps, Hall Master Dan Hai asked without raising his head, “Yu Gang, how long do you think it will take for Talisman Master Shen to understand the final state?”
Perfected Yu sat down and said, “Given his talent, three to five years of cold and summer will do.”
“Three to five years… is already very shocking. The arrangements of the Mountain Fire Hall regarding puppet techniques have come to an end. Talisman Master Shen can practice puppets in my Dan Hai Hall, but my Dan Hai Hall can’t have any cultivators accompanying him.” Hall Master Dan Hai smiled and said, “Mountain Fire Hall has already made a huge concession to be able to do this.”
Perfected Yu nodded. “I understand.”
“Will it affect him if he cultivates puppets as well?”
“It won’t, the fifth volume involves too many spirit runes, and the combination is even more complicated. If he wants to understand it, he needs time and comprehension and inspiration. Therefore, it’s not good to cultivate diligently. If he combines it with puppet techniques to study it, it might be beneficial.” Hall Master Dan Hai stood up. “In five days, the main hall will arrange for the instructor of puppet techniques to come. If Talisman Master Shen also has such talent in puppet techniques, then…”
Perfected Yu said helplessly, “Hall Master, it’s rare for Talisman Master Shen to have such natural talent in the Dao of Talismans. As for other techniques, Hall Master shouldn’t have too many expectations.”
In the side hall.
The Holy Maiden looked at the beast-shaped talisman diagram that emitted a strange and powerful power in the void and was rather shocked. “This is the strongest foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion. What is that strange beast? Just by outlining its shape with technique, it has such power!”
Shen Ping did not know what the Holy Maiden behind him was thinking. At this moment, he was already sitting cross-legged in front of the jade table, looking at the open scripture and studying it with all his attention.
To him, as long as he could see the types of basic special spirit runes contained in the scripture, he could copy them by reference to the strange beast in his sea of consciousness. Compared to the claws and whip tail, copying the entire beast-shaped outline and charm was even simpler in Shen Ping’s opinion. This was because he could clearly see the huge creature through sex with Qiu Ying.
Time passed slowly. If one wanted to see the types of basic spirit runes from the tens of thousands of derived spirit runes, it would test the basic understanding and research ability of the talisman scripture.
“Qian, Stack, Return, Lock, Kan, Vibration… Hidden, Rush, Stab, Cocoon, Channel, Life… This volume actually contains all the basic special spirit runes!”
It was almost evening. Shen Ping could see the basic spirit runes contained in the fifth volume. He could not help but be grateful for Perfected Yun Ya’s guidance again. If he had not cultivated in Linhai Immortal City during that period of time, it would probably be very difficult for him to see the basic types of spirit runes in such a short period of time with so many derived spirit runes.
The cultivation ended.
After returning to the Fire Spirit Hall, he entered the trial assessment space of the core jade token without eating or sleeping and began to copy. Although he had the help of the strange beast manifested by the Life Divine Talisman, if he did not understand the principle of every line and outline, it would be very difficult to copy it completely.
Shen Ping was already experienced at this point. Therefore, he had mainly studied the superposition state of the 12 basic special spirit runes previously. If he didn’t have the talisman scripture and strange beast, it was basically impossible for him to create the superposition state by himself.
However, the talisman scriptures and strange beast were equivalent to the result of overlapping. It was much easier to follow the result and deduce the beginning.
Even so, it took him a full three days to finally understand the principle. Initially, Shen Ping thought that it would take more time to copy the outline and charm of the entire beast form. In the end, he, who had already seen the colossus countless times in his sea of consciousness, was unexpectedly able to copy it in one go.
It was as if the outline of the strange beast had long been engraved in his bones. This surprised him.
On the fifth day at seven o’clock in the morning. They had just eaten when Shen Ping stepped into the quiet room and sat cross-legged behind a cushion. His divine sense entered the narrow wooden house in the jade token space. He pushed open the door to the assessment space. The familiar gentle voice sounded. “New core disciple Shen Ping, please choose your skills for the assessment.”
“Talisman Dao.”
Soon, as the strange beast pattern in the hall lit up, a gentle light enveloped Shen Ping. When he appeared again, he was already standing on the island in the sixth level. Last time, he stopped at this level.
Now that he had successfully comprehended the entire fifth volume of the beast form through copying the Talisman Dao Mystique, Shen Ping really wanted to see if he could rush to the top three of the Glory Ranking with the Talisman Dao Mystique.
“The countdown to the sixth level of the trial begins.” A gentle voice sounded in the space.
Light gradually appeared on the edge of the island. Whoosh. The moment the defense rune array completely covered the island, densely packed strange snakes jumped out of the lake like locusts. Every strange snake’s wings that were as thin as cicada wings had strange patterns. If one looked carefully, they would discover that these patterns were similar to the strange beast pattern talisman diagram. Although their size did not change compared to the fifth level, their speed was dozens of times faster. Even the space on the island seemed to tremble under these wings..
