629: Eighth-rank Forbidden Master, Eighth-rank Talisman Master
After leaving the Scripture Hall, Xie Weilou headed towards a certain location on Talismans Peak, intending to find a place to open up a grotto-heaven.
After walking for a while, Xie Weilou saw a desolate area where a gray stone tablet stood, imbued with numerous mysterious ancient talismans and Restriction.
"Hmm?"
Xie Weilou's figure moved, appearing before the gray stone tablet.
He stared at the gray stone tablet in front of him, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
The talismans and Restriction contained within this stone tablet were extremely profound, all of them Grade Seven.
And within the stone tablet, there seemed to be even more terrifying talismans and Restriction, estimated to have reached Grade Eight, or even Grade Nine!
...
Xie Weilou gazed at the stone tablet before him.
The talismans and Restriction on the outside of the stone tablet suppressed its true power; if these talismans and Restriction were removed, perhaps the stone tablet could reveal an even more extraordinary side.
Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, extending his fingers.
Boom!
Streams of profound talisman and Restriction power surged directly towards the stone tablet, continuously eroding the talismans and Restriction on it.
Night fell.
In the sky, stars shone down, and the stone tablet glowed with a sapphire blue light, as a magnificent power of talismans and Restriction erupted.
The talismans and Restriction on the surface of the stone tablet had been eroded, and now the more powerful talismans and Restriction within were revealed, their might terrifying.
Xie Weilou stared at the stone tablet before him, his eyes flashing with brilliant light, continuously deducing and comprehending, while within his Dantian, his Four Great Xuanxiang also simultaneously performed deductions.
Buzz!
The talismans and Restriction on the stone tablet seemed to come alive, floating up and continuously imprinting themselves deep within Xie Weilou's soul.
Deep within his mind, two Mysterious Persons appeared, frantically drawing talismans and carving Restriction.
Each time they carved, it was as if Xie Weilou was personally doing it, directly imprinting... Meanwhile, a hundred meters away, an old man in a Daoist robe with white hair stood with his hands behind his back, silently watching Xie Weilou, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"To possess the strength of a Grade Seven Talisman Master and a Grade Seven Restriction Master at such a young age is indeed an extraordinary talent. If he obtains the fortune here, I'm afraid he might directly enter Grade Eight."
The old Daoist muttered to himself, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.
Buzz!
He waved his sleeve, and a surge of power directly sealed off this area.
The paths of Restriction and talismans are different from ordinary cultivation.
If a young man in the Dongxuan Realm appeared before him, it wouldn't surprise him in the slightest, because this world never lacks cultivation geniuses.
However, this world lacks certain special groups, such as Talisman Masters, Restriction Masters, Formation Masters, Alchemists, Artificers, and so on!
The appearance of such a young Grade Seven Restriction Master and Grade Seven Talisman Master truly surprised him greatly.
Time passed by minute by minute, the stars in the sky continuously flickered, appearing and disappearing, and some stars quietly vanished. The cycle of falling stars in the cosmos is eternal.
It was unknown how much time had passed.
...
Xie Weilou suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment, an ancient scripture had appeared in his mind, like a grand imprint, tempered a hundred times, etched deep into his divine soul.
His Restriction and Talisman Dao had clearly improved significantly.
The two scriptures were the "Talisman Scripture" and the "Restriction Scripture" respectively.
The Talisman Scripture was a Talisman Dao scripture, reaching up to Grade Nine Talismans.
The Restriction Scripture was a Restriction scripture, reaching up to Grade Nine.
Having obtained these two scriptures this time, in addition to the scroll given by Fourth Mr., his understanding of talismans and Restriction had advanced another level.
He had already stepped through the door of Grade Eight, and not just simple Grade Eight, but High-Grade Eight.
With the deductions of his Four Great Xuanxiang, and having already viewed a Grade Nine scroll, his Restriction and talismans had now greatly improved; otherwise, it would have been difficult to directly enter High-Grade Eight.
Thinking of this, Xie Weilou immediately took out a precious jade and a spirit brush. He directly began carving High-Grade Eight Restriction onto the precious jade.
The first Forbidden Art was etched with extreme ease, without any difficulty at all, so he immediately sped up.
The second.
The third.
The fourth... He carved eight in a row without any problems. When carving the ninth, the precious jade shattered, unable to withstand the power of the High-Grade Eight Forbidden Art.
"It's done!"
Xie Weilou, however, revealed a smile.
Carving High-Grade Eight Restriction posed no problem at all.
He had originally planned to seclude himself for cultivation, but unexpectedly he had gained a great fortune here. This saved him a lot of time; coming to this Lingyuan Grotto-Heaven was indeed the right choice.
He didn't hesitate, again taking out talisman paper, spiritual ink, and a talisman brush.
"Heaven is round, Earth is square, the nine chapters of the law, as I now put brush to paper, all ghosts shall hide!"
Xie Weilou took a deep breath and directly drew a Grade Eight Ice Talisman.
He drew this talisman extremely quickly; in just a few breaths, Xie Weilou had finished drawing a High-Grade Eight Ice Talisman.
"Go!"
Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and the Ice Talisman shot out, instantly striking a distant mountain peak. The mountain peak was frozen in an instant, then exploded, turning into dust.
"Grade Eight Talismans possess immense power."
Xie Weilou's face was full of smiles.
"Cough, cough!"
A cough sounded, and the old Daoist quietly appeared beside Xie Weilou.
He looked at Xie Weilou and said calmly, "A Grade Eight Restriction Master and a Grade Eight Talisman Master, that's quite impressive. From the Restriction you just carved and the talismans you drew, you should have reached the High-Grade Eight level."
Originally, he thought that Xie Weilou, having obtained the fortune here, would only be able to enter Low-Grade Eight.
He didn't expect this young man to directly skip over that and enter High-Grade Eight; it was simply bizarre.
It seemed that this young man had already been exposed to Grade Nine Restriction and talismans before this, and had even comprehended them in advance, otherwise, it would have been impossible to progress so quickly.
Back then, he himself was a peak Grade Seven Restriction Master and Talisman Master, and only after obtaining the fortune here did he barely step into early Grade Eight, never reaching High-Grade Eight.
All things considered, this young man was a prodigy!
Xie Weilou stood up and bowed, saying, "Many thanks for your assistance earlier, Senior."
He had sensed the appearance of this old Daoist earlier; the other party had been watching him the entire time.
This was also an unfathomable existence; he couldn't see through him.
The old Daoist waved his hand and said, "No need for such courtesy. I am Saint Master Zhou Buyi, the Peak Master of Talismans Peak. Whether it's the Talisman Dao or Restriction, the two are equally effective, with no great difference. As a Talisman Master and Restriction Master, you should not be limited to the paper and brush or spiritual items in your hand. Remember one thing: all things in heaven and earth can be the Dao!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and directly drew talismans in space, using his hand as a brush, spiritual energy as ink, and heaven and earth as paper, quickly sketching.
A few breaths later, a blood-colored talisman appeared in the void. He waved his sleeve, and the talisman shot towards the nine heavens, instantly exploding, causing the sky to shake and even twisting the starlight.
"Many thanks for your guidance, Peak Master."
Xie Weilou, seeing this display, was greatly inspired and bowed to Saint Master Zhou Buyi.
But he knew that he had not yet reached such a realm. He could barely manage to draw talismans without basic materials, but their power would be very weak.
This Peak Master's Talisman Dao was undoubtedly terrifying.
Saint Master Zhou Buyi shook his head and said, "Grade Nine is not the peak either. Young man, you still have a long way to go!"
"Understood."
Xie Weilou bowed again.
...
Saint Master Zhou Buyi said no more, his figure instantly vanishing from the spot.
