Killing God - Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Four Years
Talisman Dao was born for the Five Elements Technique, and it originated from when and where, and was created by who. It was also the same as the Five Elements Technique, because it had been passed down for too long, and it was already impossible to verify it.

In the past, It was said that the Five Elements Technique had once flourished for a short period of time, and the accompanying talisman also shone with brilliance. However, today, with the Five Elements Technique for a few years, a great divine ability sect that had faintly been comparable to other immortal techniques and dao techniques in the past had become a small path that was too unrealistic, too difficult, and impractical.

As the backbone of the Five Elements Technique, one talisman was naturally not much better. Over the years, other than those rogue cultivators at the bottom of the Primordial Chaos Realm, few cultivators had seen anyone use the Five Elements Technique, and even fewer had used talismans.

Shen Shi used the lowest-grade yellow talisman paper in his hand. On the three-inch wide and four-inch long talisman paper, there were eight circles that formed a circle. From the looks of it, its position was exactly the eight positions in the Eight Trigrams. Three Yang Water Talismans were drawn on Yu Kan, Kun, and Zhen, forming a strange talisman formation.

That day, in the Five Elements Hall, Shen Shi owed a debt to Senior Brother Zhang Yihui and learned this Talisman Dao Art in advance. In fact, he had made a long-term plan in his heart, but after returning to practice for a period of time, Shen Shi discovered that things were a little unexpected.

There were three main difficulties in the formation of talismans. The first was that the formation of talismans was too complicated, and the combination of talisman formations corresponding to each technique was different. If one really wanted to study this Dao carefully, it would take too much effort; The second reason was that although the consumption of this Dao Art was not as large as that of the pill refining and artifact refining formations, the consumption of materials was actually not small. Talisman papers, talismans, brushes, cinnabar, and the like all required spirit crystals, and because talismans were complicated, it was easy to write wrongly, and the accidental consumption rate was actually not small.

The last point, the third difficulty, was the final stage of creating talismans to refresh one’s spirit. Spirit irrigation was simply the process of activating the corresponding Five Elements Spell Technique with Spiritual Energy on the Talisman Paper that had already been drawn up. Using a special technique on the Talisman Paper, one could wait for it to be stored in advance. When he activated this talisman in the future, he only needed 20% of his usual spiritual energy, and his casting speed was several times faster. Of course, the amount of spiritual energy he consumed was the same as usual when he poured his spiritual energy into the talisman.

Spirit Irrigation was simple, However, there were countless cultivators who were stumped by this entrance. What they were paying attention to here was the control of the Five Elements Spell Technique. Only by grasping it carefully could they turn the powerful Spiritual Energy into a spell and compress it onto a specially made talisman paper. The difficulty was truly unimaginable for cultivators who did not come into contact with this spell.

Under the heavens, cultivators who had learned the Five Elements Technique rarely used talismans. When they accidentally needed to use talismans, they would often go directly to the shop to purchase a corresponding talisman. It was obvious how rare it was to make talismans.

Shen Shi was forced to come into contact with this path by his father. After more than a decade of hard work, He had crossed the first obstacle, He was mentally prepared for the second difficulty in consuming spirit materials. He had also bought some talismans, talismans, brushes, and cinnabar from the beginning. He had long-term plans because he had never tried the Spirit Irrigation Pass before. However, according to Senior Brother Zhang Yihui, if a rookie came into contact with a talisman, they would need several years or even longer to temper themselves to pass the Spirit Irrigation Pass.

However, Shen Shi returned to his cave residence to cultivate for a period of time. However, he was surprised to discover that, The mysterious spiritual energy between his eyebrows seemed to be very handy in controlling the Five Elements Spell Technique. Not only was he able to cast it very quickly, he was also able to easily manipulate the Spiritual Energy of the Spiritual Arrow Technique when trying to consume the Spiritual Arrow Talisman. In less than half a day, he discovered that he had actually successfully created the first Water Arrow Spell Talisman …

If outsiders knew the speed of learning talismans, It could be described as shocking. Even Shen Shi himself was shocked. He truly couldn’t believe it. However, the following few attempts had succeeded in succession. Finally, he confirmed that he seemed to be somewhat different from others in the Five Elements Spell and Talisman.

Was all of this due to the use of the Heart Cleansing Curse’s mysterious technique, or was it because he had some talent in the Five Elements Technique?

Shen Shi himself was a little confused.

Naturally, he couldn’t easily tell others about such a strange matter. Otherwise, if he wasn’t careful, he would probably expose the secret technique of the demon race that he had hidden in the past. It would be quite troublesome. It was because when Gan Ze suggested that Shen Shi go with him to the Demon Island to hunt for high-grade demonic beasts, Shen Shi was not unmoved, but in the end, he still thought of this matter and refused to leave.

At this moment, he held the water archery talisman in his hand and walked on the beach at the edge of the demon island. His heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. He kept turning his eyes to look around, searching for his prey.

It seemed to correspond to his intentions, After about half a cup of tea, a low-grade demonic beast, the Wind Bird, flew down from a large tree at the edge of the forest. It looked like it was looking for food. It soon discovered Shen Shi, and its eyes revealed a fierce light. After letting out a sharp cry, it flapped its wings and flew towards Shen Shi, rolling up a pile of sand like a small tornado.

Shen Shi took a deep breath and took half a step back. His expression was solemn as he looked ahead. He did not make any big movements, only lifting his right hand. Normally, he had hunted on Demon Island. He had encountered demonic beasts like the Wind Bird many times, and he wasn’t unexpectedly nervous. At this moment, the demonic beasts that pounced towards him had waited a little longer than usual. Seeing that the sharp bird claws were about to rush in front of him, Shen Shi’s right hand suddenly shook.

In that instant, a ray of spiritual energy separated from the space between his eyebrows. It was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed through the qi veins around his body and directly into his palm, pouring into the water archery talisman. Almost at the same time, the three Yang Water Talismans on the talisman lit up at the same time. An abundant Spiritual Energy rumbled out. The talisman paper turned into fragments and scattered in the wind in an instant. The Spiritual Energy turned into a sharp water arrow that shot out from within the lightning and stone flames.

The Wind Bird almost didn’t react at all. In the blink of an eye, its huge body was directly hit in the chest by the water archery. After letting out a strange cry of sorrow, it heavily fell to the ground. Its feathers exploded, blood flowed, and it died in a twitch not long after.

Shen Shi slowly approached the demonic beast. There was a hint of joy on his face. At the same time, there was no sign of fatigue. At this moment, the Spiritual Energy consumed through the Dao of Talismans was only 20% of what he normally used to cast spells.

He flipped over the corpse of the Wind Bird and took the spiritual feathers from its neck. Then, he smiled and stood up. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sky above the Demon Island was blue. A few white clouds floated far away. It was a beautiful day with a sky high and a sea wide.

On this day, he didn’t return to the boat until dusk. The little Ruyi Ring on his left hand contained three times more harvests than usual.

To Shen Shi, after this day, he faintly felt that he could be considered as having a skill to lean against his body. However, to the huge Green Fish Island, the days were still the same.

The things that happened on the Demon Island gradually faded away as time passed. At the end of September and the beginning of October, another Qi Refining Realm high-level disciple returned to the Demon Island and began to do some demon hunting missions. The ship heading for Demon Island was also bustling with activity.

Apart from that, many disciples in Qingyu Island seemed to be working hard towards the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation.

Just like that, as the days passed, they finally entered their fourth year.

Shen Shi was sixteen years old.

By the fourth year, the atmosphere in Qingyu Island had obviously become a little tense. The reason was very simple. There wasn’t much time left for everyone. Normally speaking, there was a universally accepted principle in Lingxiao Sect that only disciples who broke through to the Qi Refining Realm and cultivated to the Origin Condensation Realm within five years could be considered worthy of cultivation by the sect.

According to the experience of previous years, by the fourth year, he would have to at least reach the high-level of the Qi Refining Realm, and then in the fifth year, he would have to make a full-blown attempt to break through to the Origin Condensation Realm.

More than 400 rookie disciples, their future status in life, the direction of the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation, to a large extent, had been decided in just one or two years.

Perhaps everyone was nervous except for that fellow named Gan Ze.

Including Shen Shi.

In the third year, there were almost a hundred people who had reached the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm. After entering the fourth year, the atmosphere on the island became even more tense, and this emotion finally reached its climax in May.

On the second day of the fifth month, after Gan Ze, the second rookie disciple to reach the high-level of the Qi Refining Realm finally appeared, shaking the entire island. Although Gan Ze did not possess such incredible talent, his speed was astonishing enough. In the future, as long as he took a step further, he would definitely be able to obtain the full cultivation of the Soaring Firmament Sect.

For a moment, this lucky person attracted the attention of countless people. At the same time, her identity shocked everyone around her.

Her name was Zhong Qingzhu.

No one would have thought of this. Even in the third year, Zhong Qingzhu was one of the more than a hundred mid-Qi Refining Realm cultivators. However, she could only be considered to be in the middle and lower realms. No one had expected her to enter this realm so quickly a year later. Even the few friends she had made with every day did not expect her to be so fast.

However, after that, Zhong Qingzhu’s successful breakthrough seemed to have opened up a hole. Subsequent examples began to spread. Compared to previous years, this round of rookies actually had a faint gathering of geniuses. One had to know that most of the years, the vast majority of people were only able to reach the high-level of the Qi Refining Realm in the fifth year of the Monster Island.

On the 15th of May, the third high-level Qi Refining Realm appeared. On the first day of the sixth month, the fourth; On the sixth day of the sixth month, the fifth; June 23, the sixth …

Suddenly, Qingyu Island seemed to be enveloped by a faint fanatical atmosphere. Everyone was immersed in this somewhat fanatical competition, cultivating with a bit of madness and desperation. Young people who could be called geniuses in the past were still emerging.

In July and August, twenty-four rookies had already broken through to the Qi Refining Realm. On the eighth day of the ninth month, on this happy autumn day, news that had been considered a major event in the past had already spread out.

The 25th high-level Qi Refining Realm rookie disciple appeared on Bluefish Island.

His name was Shen Shi.
