Chapter 818: All Techniques Return to One, Resolving Karma (4)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Talismans were a spiritual technique of life.
Starting from a small technique to treat illnesses and help others, it slowly degenerated into a tool. In the end, it became a spotless heart of cultivation.
Everything in the world was infinitely big. There were sun, moon, and stars in the sky, mountains, rivers, and seas on the ground. With Yin and Yang, there were all things inherent in the world. The talisman was the condensation of everything in the world.
Turning everything in the world into symbols and operating the universe was a talisman.
The extraordinary aura itself was the most primitive and fundamental power in the world. It hid Yin and Yang and secretly fused with the universe. Although talismans had existed since the ancient Xuanyuan family, Wang Chongyang’s new comprehension of talismans engraved on the wall made Su Yun more transparent.
Su Yun immersed himself in the mental world for a long time. There were also many supernatural auras around him, and the charms condensed became clearer.
With everything still in place, Su Yun slowly opened his eyes. Although he had no power, the mountain was silent. Looking at the people in the mountain, his Dao voice echoed on the mountain peak.
Although everyone had already had a mentality and was prepared to know that they would definitely be left with a test this time, when the test really descended, it shocked all of them. They saw a talisman between Su Yun’s fingers. On the talisman was a pattern that looked like a scribble.
The test this time sounded very simple. All they needed to do was reach the jade pillar where Su Yun was and touch the dragon’s head. In front of everyone was an empty space with a row of wooden puppets. Although it was called a puppet, it was actually more crude. It only had some movable joints.
These puppets were originally decorations placed in the Chongyang Palace to show tourists the scene of Wang Chongyang’s rise back then. And now, these puppets were placed in front of everyone, but even so, they did not look threatening.
However, with a flick of Su Yun’s wrist, the few talismans in his hand tore through the air and headed straight for the doll. These talismans were stuck to the back of the doll, but there were no changes after that.
Everyone slowly walked forward with uneasy hearts. A few bold people wanted to rely on their explosive power to quickly run past these puppets. The moment they were about to approach the puppets, they were shocked to discover that the puppets seemed to have come alive and suddenly attacked them.
Everything happened too suddenly. A few people who were the first to run forward to try were sent flying and fell heavily to the ground. These puppets stood on the spot again and maintained their previous posture, as if nothing had happened.
Everyone rubbed their eyes and wondered if they had seen wrongly just now. What they did not know was that the talismans that they did not take seriously just now were the key to this test.
On the way to the sermon, Su Yun had never stopped being strict with himself. The new discovery in the Tomb of the Living Dead made him immerse himself in his mental world until he completely grasped the talisman technique.
He drew his blood that contained an extraordinary aura on the yellow talisman paper and left a portion of his mental strength in it. When the yellow talisman paper was stuck to the puppet, as long as it was within the domain, Su Yun could control the doll with his mental strength.
This was only the beginning of the Dao of talismans for Su Yun. It was temporarily difficult for him to reach the level of drawing talismans and casting spells. For example, he did not know how to draw lightning talismans, five-element talismans, or fast talismans.
Currently, talisman drawing was only used as a medium for mental strength or supernatural aura. However, it could be seen that the prospects of developing talismans were very broad. And to those who did not understand, this was simply a miracle of injecting life into dead things.
More and more people tried, but under the puppet’s attack, they were unable to break through half a step. Batch after batch of people tried, but in the end, they still could not change the failure. In the end, no one in the team of more than a hundred thousand people had really broken through this defense line.
Everyone had the thought of retreating. They stood not far away and watched. Although they felt that it was a pity to leave like this, they also knew that it would probably be very difficult for anyone to break through this defense line.
At this moment, five to six people in Daoist robes suddenly appeared on the mountain path. Among them was the old Daoist priest Su Yun had seen in the Tomb of the Living Dead. The few people behind the old Daoist priest looked to be over 50 years old. These people were all the fellow disciples that the old Daoist priest mentioned.
Some of them guarded Chongyang Palace, some were in the Tomb of the Living Dead, and some were in the Quanzhen Sect. They all followed their master’s words and never dared to neglect the responsibilities they bore. The reason why the old Daoist priest brought these people here was because of what Su Yun had said to the old Daoist priest in the Tomb of the Living Dead yesterday.
“Your sect’s grandmaster has done me a favor. I have to repay this favor. Everyone in this lineage could gather at the top of Mount Zhongnan tomorrow. There’s no need for a test. I’ll naturally open up a convenient cultivation technique for you!”
The old Daoist priest and company passed through the crowd agitatedly. Su Yun’s eyes were clearly closed, but the puppets standing in a row below made way. The old Daoist priest and the others hurriedly bowed to Su Yun before quickly walking past the puppet.
Everyone was very surprised by this scene. Some even wanted to follow this team in, but the puppet’s heavy blow almost broke his bones.
