As Su Chen initially learned the 'True Solution of Ten Thousand Talismans', a wealth of talisman knowledge immediately flooded his mind, as if he had been practicing talismans for a long time.
After absorbing this insight, Su Chen opened his eyes once again and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Huh… This talisman is much more complicated than I imagined."
The essence of the so-called talisman is to use a special method to store the running patterns of various spells on a specific talisman paper. This allows these spells to be preserved for an extended period, activated when needed, and function properly.
Of course, even without talisman paper, talisman practitioners can use the method of drawing talismans in the air to perform specific spells. It's just that the power of these spells will be diminished to a certain extent.
Compared to other talisman techniques, the biggest advantage of the True Solution of Ten Thousand Talismans is its unique technique of drawing talismans in the air.
Not only do ordinary talisman masters rarely master the ability to draw talismans in the air, but even those who have achieved it typically find that the talismans they draw in the air are only one-tenth or one-twelfth as effective as the original talismans.
However, when the True Solution of Ten Thousand Talismans is perfected, it can fully unleash the complete power of the talismans. This highlights the unique nature of the True Solution of Ten Thousand Talismans.
The contents of the Ten Thousand Talismans Explanation are divided into three parts:
1. The Method of Drawing Talismans from a Distance: This section provides pure skill techniques that teach practitioners how to draw talismans.
2. The Method of Refining Ten Thousand Talismans: This part records the various talismans that have appeared in the history of the Wanfu Peak of Qingyun Sect and their refining techniques.
3. The Method of Magical Talismans: This section details the method of manifesting talismans related to certain magical powers.
Among these three parts, Su Chen only acquired the first step, which is the method of drawing talismans from a distance. He did not obtain the second and third parts, so the knowledge he currently holds is limited to how to draw talismans from afar.
As for the talismans he can refine now, they originate from the original Immortal Alliance Five Elements Basic Talismans. This is also the reason why he needed to upgrade the skill level of the basic talismans to a Large Success Level before he could learn the True Solution of Ten Thousand Talismans.
After all, if he couldn't even draw a talisman, then learning to draw them remotely would be useless.
Once he understood the distinctive nature of talismans, Su Chen quickly realized how much the True Solution of Ten Thousand Talismans could assist him. Drawing talismans remotely was particularly useful for someone like him who couldn't bring physical objects into the dungeon game.
Among the basic talismans he had mastered, several stood out as particularly beneficial.
—
[God Travel Talisman]
[Effect: Slightly improves body speed.]
—
—
[Eagle Eye Talisman]
[Effect: Slightly improves dynamic vision.]
—
—
[Giant Strength Talisman]
[Effect: Slightly improves strength.]
—
In addition to these three, there are many other talismans in the Immortal Alliance Five Elements Basic Talisman, but the others are not particularly useful to him at this moment.
For example, the 'Explosive Flame Talisman' and 'Calming Talisman' either lack power compared to his own swordsmanship or the Purple Cloud Divine Fire or are only somewhat useful.
Thus, for Su Chen right now, the three talismans—the God Travel Talisman, Eagle Eye Talisman, and Giant Strength Talisman—are the most beneficial.
"Let's test the effects of these three talismans first…"
Standing in front of the door on the second floor, Su Chen began to utilize the True Solution of Ten Thousand Talismans and cast various talismans on himself.
His fingers flickered and glided through the air. Soon, a golden spiritual power talisman floated before him.
With a light tap from Su Chen, the golden talisman flew toward his body and activated its effect.
After feeling the changes within himself, Su Chen quickly began to draw the next talismans.
Not long after, he had successfully activated the God Travel Talisman, Eagle Eye Talisman, and Giant Strength Talisman simultaneously.
After refining the spiritual power talisman several times, Su Chen finally paused.
"I thought that the effects of the same talisman could stack."
"But after using them, I found I had simplified the talisman too much."
"Auxiliary talismans like the God Travel Talisman and Eagle Eye Talisman can only be used one at a time. More would only extend their duration without enhancing their original effects."
"Well, these three talismans are sufficient for now."
"After all, they have at least boosted my strength by 20 to 30%. I believe I should be able to see Fang Heng's movements this time."
The duration of the three talismans lasts for one incense stick. While not a long time, it is enough for Su Chen.
With this thought in mind, Su Chen activated the door on the second floor of the Sword Pavilion once more and pushed it open.
Having obtained substantial information from Fang Heng before, Su Chen refrained from asking his previous questions this time. Instead, he inquired about incidents that occurred in Qingyun Sect that year.
In response, Fang Heng, who was still somewhat conscious, answered one question after another. Through him, Su Chen roughly grasped what had transpired in Qingyun Sect.
It seemed that since Fang Heng's generation, a significant number of heretic cultivators began to emerge around Qingyun Sect.
Initially, Qingyun Sect did not take these individuals seriously, believing they would pose no trouble. As a result, they frequently surrounded and suppressed these heretic cultivators, yet they never truly regarded them as a threat.
However, not long after, Qingyun Sect faced dire consequences for their negligence, as some heretic cultivators had infiltrated from within the sect.
Under internal and external turmoil, the once powerful Qingyun Sect began to decline.
This culminated on the day known as the 'breaking of the sky'.
Su Chen had previously asked Fang Heng many times about what this "breaking of the sky" meant, but Fang Heng could never recall the meaning behind those words.
He only knew that it served as the catalyst for Qingyun Sect's complete decline.
While Su Chen yearned to uncover the truth behind the sect's downfall, he also understood that Fang Heng had said all he could, and thus he had to let it go.
After all, the being before him was not the actual Fang Heng but merely a half-corpse, half-demon who retained some memories of his past.
As before, Fang Heng maintained his consciousness for a moment before being completely overtaken by the external power within him, losing himself once more.
In the Sword Pavilion's second floor, Su Chen observed Fang Heng's expression grow increasingly ferocious.
He understood that the other party would soon strike.
Adopting a strategy of preemptive strike, Su Chen fiercely drew the Black Dragon sword he held.
However, the Dragon Roar Sword Technique—previously invincible—was effortlessly blocked by 'Fang Heng' at this time.
Fang Heng raised his right hand, which had fully transformed into a long sword made of flesh and blood, and parried Su Chen's Black Dragon Sword with one hand.
"You really are despicable for attacking without declaring war."
Listening to what 'Fang Heng' said, Su Chen replied expressionlessly, "You take without asking and play with the dead. For you evil demons, morality is nothing but hypocritical kindness."
Amused by Su Chen's words, 'Fang Heng' laughed oddly.
He flicked away Su Chen's Black Dragon Sword, leaning on the body of the heretic demon, towering over him with contempt.
The twisted expression and arrogant eyes reflected his disdain for Su Chen.
"You are just an ant in the Qi training stage. I hope you remain so stubborn after I sever your limbs."
"You call me an evil demon? How can you be considered righteous if you are slain by an evil demon? Hahaha!"
After laughing, Fang Heng lowered his head, gazing at Su Chen with murderous intent.
"The remnants of the Qingyun Sect should be completely eradicated..."
As he said this, Fang Heng's right hand, transformed into a flesh-and-blood sword, began to gather power.
In response, Su Chen's lotus-shaped pupils began to rotate continuously, as if recording something...
