Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 1546
Chapter 1546 Talisman Dao Competition
Facing the constant ridicule from Huangji Sect, the Dragon Talisman Sect finally selected five people.
Four ninth grade Celestial Immortals and one eighth grade Celestial Immortal. Judging from the fluctuations of the runes on their bodies, they were far too different from Huangji Sect’s.
The ten of them quickly walked to the table in front of them and stood still, preparing to compete with each other in the Talisman Dao.
“This year is still the same. I would like to invite a few elders to make an appraisal.”
Every year, the Fu Dao Tournament would invite a few respected seniors from the Immortal Dimension as appraisers, and this year was no exception.
Very quickly, five old men walked out of the crowd. They were all immortals, and they had already arrived here. They were not very interested in the battle between them.
What they were interested in was talisman dao, hoping to meet a true talisman dao genius.
“Greetings, five seniors!”
Wei De Sheng bowed to the five seniors first. These five were all Ninth Grade Immortal Kings and did not belong to any sect. Using them to be firm, they would definitely not take sides.
Moreover, experts from other sects would also be invited to participate in the appraisal, the purpose of which was to ensure the fairness of the competition.
There were hundreds of chairs on both sides. It seemed that quite a few people had been invited this time. They were all witnesses to the duel between the two sides.
Among the five old men, the elder was called Wuwei, the second was called Wuzhi, the third was Wuxin, the fourth was Wuji, and the fifth was Wuwei.
They were a legend in the Immortal Dimension. They seemed to be brothers, but in reality, they were not brothers. They had only grown up together and cultivated together when they were young. They were brothers.
More than a hundred people quickly walked out of the crowd. They were all experts invited by both sides. There were experts from the Mystic Moon Sect, experts from the Azure Cloud Sect, the Wang Clan, the Li Clan, the Flying Star Clan, Flower Sect, and so on.
As a linesman, they also had the right to speak, deciding which of the five elders had the higher level of the Void Symbols.
Even though Huangji Sect had plotted before the competition, everyone was still looking forward to it. The annual competition between these two great sects involved many people’s nerves, and they could see many old-fashioned figures in the Immortal Dimension.
Ye Feng’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He actually saw a familiar shadow. Fairy Baihua actually came as well. Together with the Sect Leader of Flower Sect, he also ascended to the linesman’s seat as one of the invited guests.
Fairy Baihua did not notice Ye Feng. After all, there were tens of thousands of people. Ye Feng was just a tiny shadow hiding in the crowd. How could he attract Fairy Baihua’s attention?
When Fairy Baihua appeared, many men let out screams, wanting to see Fairy Baihua’s true appearance.
“Look, why did Fairy Baihua change into a pink scarf?”
Someone noticed that Fairy Baihua was different. He had actually changed into a pink scarf, which was very different from the appearance of white in the past.
“You still don’t know this. Once a female disciple of Flower Sect has a heart, she will replace the white one. She already has a lover in her heart.”
Someone quickly explained that Fairy Baihua must have a sweetheart in his heart, so he changed his masked scarf.
“That’s impossible. With Fairy Baihua’s talent and appearance, who is worthy of her? In the future, she will be Flower Sect’s most promising successor. Furthermore, she will be Hua Xian’s reincarnation.”
Some people didn’t believe that Fairy Hua had been wanting to see her true appearance for several years. How could she have a sweetheart so quickly?
“Probably the Hundred Flowers Convention a month ago.”
Someone quickly mentioned that there was a Hundred Flowers Convention in Flower Sect every year. Although some low-grade immortals participated and Fairy Baihua would also appear, there were only a handful of people who could really attract Fairy Baihua’s attention.
“I heard that the first place in the Hundred Flowers Convention was won by an unknown brat a month ago. Do you think the person in Fairy Hua’s heart is some brat?”
Although many people did not participate in the Hundred Flowers Convention, they received news that the first place was taken by a nobody.
Under the gaze of countless gazes, the hundred linesmen sat down one after another, waiting for the Talisman Dao Tournament to officially begin.
“We can start the competition now!”
The fearless old man glanced at the two sides. The competition could officially begin. There were a total of five rounds. The winner of three rounds was the winner, while the loser of three rounds was the opposite.
If one side wins the first three rounds, then the next two rounds can stop competing and end the match ahead of schedule.
“I’ll go first!”
A young man walked out of the Dragon Talisman Sect. He was in his twenties and had actually reached the level of a rank nine Celestial Immortal. He took a big step forward and stood in front of a table.
This was the best talisman dao genius of the younger generation of the Dragon Talisman Sect. His name was Lu Mingyu, and he hoped to get a good start.
“Let me do this!”
On Huangji Sect’s side, a figure quickly appeared. His name was Bai Siyuan. Of the five people, he was neither the highest nor the lowest. He could be considered to be in the middle.
Both sides stood still, their eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit. The first round was of utmost importance, and there was a certain amount of psychological pressure on the upcoming matches.
If he got off to a good start, the second round would be much easier. If he lost the first round, the second round would be very difficult.
This was also the reason why Lu Mingyu had appeared in the first round of the Dragon Talisman Sect, hoping to suppress his opponent.
Everyone stared fixedly at the two of them. Although most of the people present were Divine Realm and had long looked down on the Heavenly Talisman Rank, this battle was not just a battle of talismans, it was also a clash between the two sects.
Because they were involved in the fate of the entire sect, if they lost, tens of thousands of people would be buried with them, so they could not afford to lose.
Take out the items that you used to carve the Void Symbols. All the materials must be prepared by yourself. No matter what kind of Heavenly Symbols you carve, you can use them to determine the quality of the Heavenly Symbols.
The Dao of Talismans competition was not about the level of the Void Talisman, but the quality of the Void Talisman. Unless it was a battle at the same level, it was about the grade of the Void Talisman.
If it was a first-grade Celestial Immortal, it would still be able to surpass a high-grade Celestial Talisman carved by a ninth-grade Celestial Immortal. This was because the talisman dao was focused on the patterns and the compatibility with heaven and earth.
This was a little different from martial arts. Martial arts emphasized Immortal energy, martial skills, and mysteries. Whoever had a higher realm would naturally be stronger in martial arts.
Once a talisman cultivator’s strength was equal, whoever comprehended more talismans would naturally be an expert.
The two of them walked like pens and dragons, carving lines of heaven and earth on the talisman paper. Each line seemed to be perfectly natural, and they were indeed worthy of being the top geniuses of the two great sects.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe for fear of interrupting their rhythm.
Especially on the side of the Dragon Talisman Sect. Everyone’s hearts were tightened. If Lu Mingyu could not take the first round, then the remaining matches could be announced to be over in advance.
The eyes of the five old men narrowed into a crack. They watched the two of them write like knives and nodded in approval. Now that there were fewer and fewer Talisman Cultivators in the Immortal Dimension, the five of them were extremely gratified to see such a genius.
“Drink!”
Lu Mingyu suddenly shouted coldly. The last line jumped onto the paper. A ninth-grade Heavenly Talisman appeared. The lines on it were lifelike, like a flood dragon galloping out. This was a Soaring Dragon Talisman.
Heavenly Talismans were divided into many types. Dragon Talismans, Phoenix Talismans, Wind Talismans, Lightning Talismans, and so on. There were also five attributes, mainly depending on the attributes of the person being depicted.
The moment Lu Mingyu finished, Bai Siyuan’s Heavenly Talisman also ended. A phantom figure suddenly flew out of the sky, wanting to break through the talisman paper and soar into the sky.
“Talisman Shadow Transformation!”
Someone cried out in shock. He couldn’t believe that Bai Siyuan had actually carved out an existence that was infinite and close to an immortal talisman.
Immortal talismans were living creatures. They could even turn into immortal cranes, demonic beasts, and so on. They could even turn into puppets to help him fight. It was simply unfathomable.
That phantom image just now clearly had the potential to become an immortal talisman. The sudden appearance of the phantom image caused the entire Dragon Talisman Sect to be covered in a layer of shadow.
On the periphery, there were naturally many disciples of the Dragon Talisman Sect. Their hearts were tightened. This was related to the fate of the Dragon Talisman Sect’s generals. They prayed in secret. If they won this year’s competition, the Dragon Talisman Sect might sweep away their shame and rise in an instant.
Above the clouds, Dragon Talisman Sect Master Zhuang Chengyang’s face revealed a trace of worry. He looked at the starry sky, and his fingers moved together. He was actually calculating something.
“The star pivot has shifted. The heavens have descended upon the blessed star. My Dragon Talisman Sect should not be extinguished. Could it be that my calculations are wrong?”
Zhuang Chengyang saw a trace of mystery from the stars. The aura of the Dragon Talisman Sect had yet to reach its end. Furthermore, from the stars, there was a blessing star descending. Why couldn’t he see where the blessing star was?
“Now, let’s proceed to the first round of appraisal!”
The two carefully sent the carved Heavenly Talismans to the five elders and appraised them one by one.
Lu Mingyu’s Heavenly Talisman was appraised from left to right, while Bai Siyuan’s talent was appraised from right to left. The five old men appraised it very carefully.
Wuwei even took out a magnifying glass and carefully looked at it. Wuxin, Wuji, Wuwei, Wuzhi were all carefully looking at it. Moreover, as they watched, they nodded their heads repeatedly.
“The runes are clear. There is a trace of the Concept of the Soaring Dragon Nine Heavens. It is a rare good talisman. This is a high-grade Heavenly Talisman.”
Fearless had given Lu Mingyu a high-grade Void Talisman, which could not be considered a top-grade Heavenly Talisman.
Bai Siyuan’s evaluation of the Heavenly Talisman was also very quick. The lines were clear, and there was a trace of the Heaven and Earth lines. In addition, the Talisman Shadow Transformation could be considered a good talisman. If one took a step further, it would be a top-grade Heavenly Talisman. Unfortunately, it was still a step away from a top-grade Heavenly Talisman.
The two of them were basically the same in terms of grade and appearance, but they could still see some differences in some details. After discussing for a while, the five of them quickly came to a conclusion.
Lu Mingyu’s Heavenly Talisman had 98 points, which was almost perfect, while Bai Siyuan’s Heavenly Talisman had actually given him 98.8 points, which was 0.8 points higher than Lu Mingyu’s.
However, the scores of the five old men were not necessarily the final result. The linesman had to make a judgment. He had one point to decide. If the linesman gave one point to Lu Mingyu, this round would still be Lu Mingyu winning the first round with 0.2 points.
More than a hundred linesmen quickly examined the two Heavenly Talismans carefully. They didn’t rule out that many of them were biased towards Huangji Sect, while others were biased towards the Dragon Talisman Sect. This was also a helpless move.
In the end, more than a hundred people discussed, and they each gave 0.5 points. No one was offended, so Huangji Sect got off to a good start in the first inning.
The Dragon Talisman Sect found it hard to accept. They even went forward to find five old men to argue. Unfortunately, the final result could not be changed. Fortunately, the people from the Dragon Talisman Sect were also experts in the Dao of Talismans. They could tell the subtle difference between the two with a single glance.
