"It's about the candidates for the trial in a secret realm, so today I want to test your attainments in talismans." The guardian elder said slowly to everyone, "Next, I will show you the power of various talismans, and you need to according to the Come and draw this talisman again."
"Tao test?"
These words made everyone present a little surprised.
Regarding the skills of weapon refining, alchemy tripods, talismans, formations... among the various arts of cultivating immortals, Shushan has always given its disciples a great deal of freedom. If you want to learn, you can naturally go to the corresponding hall or classics to practice; if you don't want to learn, unless your talent is very dazzling, there is generally no compulsion.
It is indeed the first time that we suddenly do such a large-scale Fu Dao test today.
What kind of secret realm needs to select people like this?
But doubts remain doubts, and we must go all out in the face of tests. Especially those present were all Shushan's best disciples, and it only took an instant to ignite the raging desire to win.
But this topic...
According to the power of a talisman, let's draw this talisman again.
Is it too difficult?
Runes are the words of heaven. They are composed of multiple runes that form a talisman, and multiple talismans can form a talisman array. Theoretically speaking, looking at the power of a talisman can indeed determine which rhyme it triggers and which runes it contains.
But this can only give a rough idea. It is extremely difficult to completely guess how the runes used in it are combined. After all, how can such a complicated talisman be seen through at a glance?
It would be even more difficult to draw this talisman again.
There are many complete talismans in "True Interpretation of Talismans" that are difficult to draw even if you follow the drawings. Drawing a complete talisman requires a high degree of control over one's spiritual thoughts. If one does not specialize in this way, one will definitely feel weak.
So the Shushan disciples here are actually beating drums in their hearts.
But the Dharma Protector Elder didn't seem to care about this. He led everyone to the open space behind the Dharma Protector Hall, and everyone was given a piece of yellow paper and cinnabar.
"Everyone, get ready, our test will begin now."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and a yellow talisman was already clamped on his fingertips. Raising his hand again, the yellow talisman suddenly flashed in the air and turned into several streaks of lightning that struck down in the air!
Click, click, click——
As the lightning flashed around, everyone immediately recognized the talisman.
"Five thunder evil-killing talisman." Someone blurted out.
This Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman is a relatively common basic talisman. It is not too high-end, but it is very useful. It is often used by practitioners in the first three realms to deal with yin objects, and it is extremely restrained.
This talisman doesn't even need to be demonstrated. People who have studied the talismans carefully can draw it just by hearing the name.
Everyone present waved their cinnabar pens one after another, leaving complex traces on the yellow paper, with restrained auras.
It can be seen that there are still some disciples present who cannot draw talisman at all. They were having trouble holding the cinnabar pen, but they didn't want to give up, so they peeked at other people's handwriting and tried to imitate it.
But how can the talismans be easily copied?
So they could only make a few gestures and then hang their heads in despair... A certain disciple named Lin from Jade Sword Peak with thick eyebrows and big eyes was the typical representative.
And some disciples simply drew the talisman with a restrained aura without thinking at once, with a stroke of brush strokes... represented by a certain Silver Sword Peak disciple.
After a while, everyone on the field stopped writing.
The elder protector smiled and said: "Those who have not completed the talisman should step back for now, and those who have completed the talisman should step forward to display the power of the talisman."
A group of disciples came forward to show off.
The first one by Mu Yueting was quite amazing. The Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman she drew in a short time was no less powerful than the one used by the protector elder before. It was obvious that she had put a lot of effort into it.
There were waves of admiration in the audience, and the guardian elders nodded with satisfaction.
But unfortunately, Jiang Yuebai was closely followed.
But when Jiang Yuebai walked to the front, he raised his hand and unfolded the talisman. In an instant, five thunders soared into the sky and golden dragons danced wildly. The power was far beyond the ordinary Five Thunder Evil-killing Talisman!
Everyone present couldn't help but their eyelids twitched.
What a powerful force!
The most frightening thing is that Jiang Yuebai has not shown any strong attainments in the Tao of Talisman before, and it is very likely that she has not practiced this Tao intensively. It's just that because of the fairy spirit body's affinity for Dao and spiritual energy, it can naturally use Talisman Dao better.
Is this the charm of talent?
After Jiang Yuebai unfolded this talisman, bursts of cheers and cheers erupted from the venue.
At the moment, everyone feels that the remaining people may be competing for second place.
But Jiang Yuebai didn't show a trace of pride, but stood quietly aside and looked around, looking at Chu Liang who was coming next.
But seeing a confident smile on Chu Liang's face, he gently and deftly released his talisman.
Chi chi chi chi chi——
Five tiny bolts of lightning flashed past.
There was a moment of silence.
Although no one expects Chu Liang to draw better talismans than Jiang Yuebai, he is at least second in the Shushan Summit. He should at least perform better than others, right?
Why is this...thin and short...
It was over before I could feel the power.
But he couldn't deny that this was indeed a complete Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman. It can be said that the painting was successful, but it seems that it was not completely successful.
"Hmm..." The elder protector also hesitated for a moment before nodding, indicating that Chu Liang also passed.
It can be seen that it seems that this is the first time he has come into contact with the Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman. He really relied on observation to decipher the runes and then drew this talisman for the first time.
So despite being very unskilled, he chose to inject only a very small amount of Qi to avoid losing control.
It might not be a smart approach.
After that, they continued to use it one after another. Although some disciples drew the talisman, no lightning was struck, and they fell to the ground with only a puff of smoke.
This is naturally unqualified.
Xu Ziyang's talisman once again amazed everyone. In terms of power, it was not weaker than Jiang Yuebai's. Senior Brother Yujianfeng has always been an all-rounder, so it is not surprising that he has profound attainments in Talismans.
After the first round of testing, ten disciples passed. Those who failed also stood aside and watched the excitement, not ready to leave for the time being.
"That's right." The protector elder nodded lightly, then stepped forward and said, "Then we will start the second round of testing. The requirements are the same as before."
With that said, he raised his hand and played a talisman.
This time the talisman is much stronger. After you play it, you can hear the roar of heaven and earth. Not only are huge thunders as thick as buckets falling from the sky, but also raging flames are rising from the ground! For a time, the momentum was very huge, and it was a great threat to practitioners in the fourth realm.
Immediately, the remaining disciples frowned.
"Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Talisman..." Someone also recognized it.
The power of this talisman is much greater, but the difficulty is also much higher. The mixture of thunder, earth and fire instantly greatly increases the complexity of the talisman.
For the young disciples of their generation, even if they study Talisman Dao intensively, it is difficult for them to come into contact with complex Talismans at this level for the time being.
This time everyone's status was slightly different.
Mu Yueting stopped writing and stood, Jiang Yuebai was thoughtful, and Xu Ziyang was still writing quickly, looking very confident.
Chu Liang's eyes dimmed slightly, as if he was recalling the scene just now.
Several disciples watching the excitement couldn't help but wonder, he wasn't really dismantling the runes contained in this talisman, was he?
Although the purpose of the title seems to be this...
But everyone thinks it’s just talk, right?
Even those who succeeded in drawing in the last round were basically able to draw the Five Thunder Evil-killing Talisman. Faced with the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Talisman that he had no control over, he felt a little at a loss.
A moment later, Jiang Yuebai and Chu Liang started writing at the same time, and it was done in one go.
When everyone stopped writing, only three people had finished drawing the talismans.
Jiang Yuebai, Xu Ziyang, Chu Liang...
Sure enough, it was the three of them again.
Senior Sister Biluofeng, Senior Brother Yujianfeng, and Senior Brother Yinjianfeng. The first two have always been the twin talents of Shushan's generation, while Chuliang has gradually emerged as a new force and has now become one of the most talented people in the world.
It seems that this generation of Shushan is always a battle between dragons and tigers.
"Okay." The guardian elder smiled and said, "Those who have drawn the talismans will come to cast them in turn."
This time it was Jiang Yuebai's turn to be the first.
She stepped forward slowly and raised her hand to play the talisman.
boom--
In an instant, thunder, earth and fire mingled!
The power was still not inferior to that of the protector elders. It was already extremely difficult to complete, and suddenly there was an uproar.
The voice of "As expected of Senior Sister Jiang" also filled my ears.
Then it was Chu Liang’s turn.
Still smiling, he walked forward and raised his hand slightly.
Bang! call--
There was a muffled sound, and a ball of virtual thunder fell to the ground; a thin layer of flames on the ground ignited, and was blown out by the wind in the blink of an eye.
There was silence again.
All the disciples frowned.
You may say that he is not powerful, but he was actually drawn after being dismantled; you may say that he is powerful, but to a practitioner, his power is nothing more than a fart...
It's really hard to evaluate.
