#164 - Magic power is the greatest wonder!
This Great自在Heavenly Demon doesn't even have a clue. He's already a prisoner, yet he dares to mock me.
Seeing Zhang Chen get agitated, the Great自在Heavenly Demon didn't dare to continue provoking him. Instead, he went to the desk and looked at the first page of the book, "Oh, it's an invisibility talisman."
"Invisibility talisman?" Zhang Chen's interest was piqued, and he hurriedly came closer to observe.
The Great自在Heavenly Demon outlined with his finger in the void: "Kid, drawing talismans has five key points: the talisman head, body, aperture, core, and foot. Look at this invisibility talisman, let me break it down and explain it to you in detail."
The Great自在Heavenly Demon didn't try to mystify things. Instead, he directly drew the talisman in the void, explaining the drawing method and various key points without holding anything back.
After hearing the Great自在Heavenly Demon's explanation, Zhang Chen finally understood why he was being mocked. He didn't know how to draw talismans at all. He was simply copying blindly, guessing the order of the lines. After a preliminary introduction, he relied entirely on experience points to level up.
With the Great自在Heavenly Demon's explanation, Zhang Chen finally gained some understanding of the method of drawing invisibility talismans, making rapid progress in the art of talismans.
Both of them were focused and attentive, one lecturing earnestly and the other listening intently.
An hour later, the Great自在Heavenly Demon stopped his movements:
"The explanation of the invisibility talisman is complete. You also have magic power, so whether you can create an invisibility talisman depends entirely on yourself."
Hearing this, Zhang Chen turned to look at the Great自在Heavenly Demon. This guy could actually see that he had magic power. He was not simple. He had some doubts in his heart and wanted to ask the Great自在Heavenly Demon to see if he could solve them.
"Why is it that no one else in this world can cultivate magic power except for me?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在Heavenly Demon and asked the question in his heart.
"Kid, if you want me to answer your question, there has to be a price," the Great自在Heavenly Demon said with a smile.
"What price?" Zhang Chen asked.
"If you teach me to stay by your side and not seal me in the jar, I can tell you all the secrets I know," the Great自在Heavenly Demon said with a smile.
"You're asking for a beating," Zhang Chen stared at the Great自在Heavenly Demon, his eyes revealing a dangerous glint.
"I can only be by your side, I can't run away anyway. Are you afraid I'll run?" the Great自在Heavenly Demon said unhappily.
"I'm not afraid of you running away, I'm afraid you'll harm ordinary people. What if you attack ordinary people? Wouldn't that be terrible?" Zhang Chen retorted.
Hearing this, the Great自在Heavenly Demon shook his head: "You overestimate me. I can only function with the help of mysterious power. To ordinary people, even if I invade their bodies, I'm just an emotion and completely useless. Ordinary people's bodies don't have extraordinary power. Greed, anger, and ignorance are just emotions. I can't do anything to ordinary people."
Zhang Chen looked at the Great自在Heavenly Demon but didn't quite believe his words: "If you don't tell me, forget it. Just obediently go back to your jar."
The Great自在Heavenly Demon was too dangerous. Zhang Chen didn't dare to let the Great自在Heavenly Demon roam outside alone. If he accidentally didn't keep a close eye on him and something went wrong, it would be too late to regret it.
"You're a dog who turns his back on people, even more dog-like than me!" Facing the unfeeling Zhang Chen, the Great自在Heavenly Demon immediately cursed: "I'll answer one question for you, can you let me stay outside for one day?"
"If you don't agree, I'll just obediently go back to the jar," the Great自在Heavenly Demon said, moving towards the jar.
"Alright, I'll let you stay for one day, but you can't leave my sight," Zhang Chen said, relenting because he had too many questions about the mysterious and urgently needed answers.
"Good! That's great!" The Great自在Heavenly Demon stopped and turned back, smiling: "The reason why no one in this world can cultivate magic power, do you know what the essence of magic power is?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen shook his head. How would he know the essence of magic power? He was just a newbie.
"The essence of magic power is law, a unique law, and this world doesn't have that kind of law, so no one can cultivate it successfully. I'm curious about you, how did you get that kind of law and how did you cultivate it successfully? You kid are simply the biggest variable and the most incredible thing in the world," the Great自在Heavenly Demon's voice was full of curiosity.
The Great自在Heavenly Demon's answer exceeded Zhang Chen's expectations. Zhang Chen thoughtfully said: "There's no such law?"
"There's no such law," the Great自在Heavenly Demon said.
"What about the Primordial Tomb? What about the Primordial Transcendents? What about the people who invented Qi cultivation? How did those Primordial Gods and Demons cultivate magic power? Could it be that there was such a law in the Primordial Era?" Zhang Chen asked about the origin of Qi cultivation.
"That's not one question anymore," the Great自在Heavenly Demon said with a smile.
"Just tell me, how could I possibly go back on my word?" Zhang Chen said.
"This world has never had Qi cultivators! The so-called Primordial Gods and Demons you speak of are just human ancestors who obtained the mystery of heaven and earth, merged with the mystery, and mastered powerful power," the Great自在Heavenly Demon said.
"Impossible! If there were no Qi cultivators, how could the art of Qi cultivation have been born in this world?" Zhang Chen was stunned.
Hearing this, the Great自在Heavenly Demon pondered for a moment, as if considering how to answer this question. After a long time, he said: "All your doubts are actually related to one place. If you can reach that place one day, you may have a chance to solve your doubts. Because there are many things I can't say. There is a shackle in this world that seals my memory. If I hadn't mastered the power of immortality, I would have been buried long ago. In short, you being able to become a Qi cultivator is the most incredible thing in this world, and you will even change the course of the world..."
Crack~
The Great自在Heavenly Demon was halfway through his words when a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the clear sky, striking the lightning rod at the top of the Taoist temple, startling the Great自在Heavenly Demon into silence.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Zhang Chen was also stunned. He looked at the silent Great自在Heavenly Demon, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.
"Where is the place you mentioned? Can you say it?" Zhang Chen asked.
"The Thirty-Three Heavens!" the Great自在Heavenly Demon said.
"The Thirty-Three Heavens of the mental world?" Zhang Chen tentatively asked.
"You actually know about this?" The Great自在Heavenly Demon revealed a surprised expression: "It seems you understand a little, not as ignorant as I imagined. But you should give up on the idea of your spiritual world. Since ancient times, eight people in this world have reached the spiritual world, and all eight of them were amazingly talented geniuses who left their mark on time. You want to glimpse the creation of the spiritual world... To be honest, it's not that I look down on you, even I, your ancestor, can't reach that level of mental state. Even ten thousand of you can't compare to a single hair of mine, you have no hope."
Zhang Chen was unhappy when he heard the words of the Great自在Heavenly Demon, who was too capable of burying people.
"Isn't it just the spiritual world? What's so great about it?" Zhang Chen retorted.
"How would an ant sitting in a well know how great the people who can reach the spiritual world are? If you can reach the spiritual world one day, I'll even be your mount." The Great自在Heavenly Demon looked at Zhang Chen with a face full of mockery: "I'll kneel down and carry you three hundred and sixty degrees. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. If you tell me to hit a dog, I'll never chase a chicken."
Zhang Chen glanced at the Great自在Heavenly Demon. This thing was just a mass of illusory mental power, how could it carry him?
"Stay in the house and don't get close to strangers, and especially don't get close to my senior sister. My senior sister has a talisman that I gave her. If it accidentally hurts you, don't blame me for not reminding you." Zhang Chen warned the Great自在Heavenly Demon: "If the light on my senior sister's body is activated, don't blame me for turning against you."
The Great自在Heavenly Demon didn't seem to care, and directly floated to the threshold, not afraid of the sun, raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky silently, seemingly thinking about something with a heavy heart.
Zhang Chen activated the chain coordinates, constantly sensing the Great自在Heavenly Demon. As Zhang Chen activated the coordinates, the Great自在Heavenly Demon suddenly felt something, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Chen: "I say, what the hell is this evil method? It's simply unreasonable. I, your ancestor, have lived for who knows how many years, and I can be considered knowledgeable, but I've never seen such an incredible method. Where did you get this method from, kid?"
Zhang Chen didn't answer the Great自在Heavenly Demon's words. At this time, he lost interest in talking to the Great自在Heavenly Demon, and instead practiced the talisman technique on his own.
"The Great自在Heavenly Demon said that the first talisman is called: Invisibility Talisman..." Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, he had to grind this talisman out no matter what.
This was a good thing.
With the guidance of the Great自在Heavenly Demon, Zhang Chen drew talismans very smoothly. After drawing it more than a hundred times, it already looked decent. At this time, the golden finger panel popped up:
[New skill discovered, do you want to include it?]
"Include it." Zhang Chen said silently in his heart.
[11 Skill (Entry): Invisibility Talisman (0/100)]
[Note 1: After casting this talisman, it harmonizes with the environment, and it is difficult to recognize if you don't look closely]
[Points: 190000]
Seeing this, Zhang Chen directly added points all the way up, anyway, he now had points, and he could afford the mere consumption.
Entry points 100.
Minor success points 500.
Major success points 1000
[11 Skill (Perfection): Invisibility Talisman (0/5000)]
[Note 1: You can be in harmony with the environment, changing with the environment. Even mortals cannot see you even if they are standing in front of you.]
[Points: 188400]
"Can five thousand points be upgraded to Tier 1?" Zhang Chen didn't hesitate and directly added the points.
[11 Skill (Quasi Tier 1): Invisibility Talisman (0/10000)]
[Note 1: You will gain Tier 1 Law of Causality power. As long as you cast invisibility, Tier 1 cultivators cannot detect your form.]
[Note 2: Pay attention to your smell and footprints, they will expose you. Note that although you are visually non-existent, your body still exists, so don't bump into people, lest you scare the children.]
[Note 3: One catty of jade essence is required to complete the evolution and completely transform into a Tier 1 existence]
[Points: 183400]
Zhang Chen looked at the golden finger panel, a trace of thought revealed in his eyes: "This invisibility technique is indeed something, Tier 1 cultivators can't see it at all, but it also has shortcomings, such as form and aura. But as the invisibility talisman is upgraded, if all the flaws are hidden, wouldn't it be powerful? It's simply an supreme assassination technique!"
"Jade? Last time I searched in the city, I got a lot of jade ornaments, and a lot of high-quality jade agate, which should be enough for me to extract one catty of essence." Zhang Chen looked at the invisibility technique, he attached great importance to this divine power, this divine power was simply a weapon for escape.
Zhang Chen glanced at the Heavenly Demon standing at the door frame, looking at the sun in the sky, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to wait, wait until the time comes to lock up the Heavenly Demon, and then he would go to find jade to upgrade the talisman.
He didn't want to expose too much mystery in front of the Heavenly Demon.
Zhang Chen lowered his head and continued to read the Shangqing Handbook. His idea of grinding out all the skills in the entire book had failed. Obviously, the golden finger didn't give him a chance to exploit loopholes.
"Hey, stop spacing out, come and help me explain the second talisman." Zhang Chen shouted at the Great自在Heavenly Demon at the door.
He felt that with the help of the Great自在Heavenly Demon, it might be possible for him to grind out all three hundred and sixty talismans within a month.
A month has thirty days, twenty-four hours a day, and a month means there are seven hundred and twenty hours.
With the Great自在Heavenly Demon explaining the stroke order, it was not impossible for him to learn the correct drawing method of a talisman in half an hour.
Then he would work hard for one day and rest for half a day. Calculated in this way, the time was just right.
So he couldn't delay any longer, he had to practice quickly.
The Great自在Heavenly Demon turned his head when he heard the words, and his eyes looked at Zhang Chen: "The invisibility talisman I taught you is very complicated, involving the control of mana, and the balance of various key points, which is enough for you to study for a year. If you don't practice this talisman well, you will study a new talisman, which is simply trying to swallow more than you can chew. Don't end up learning nothing."
"Young people nowadays don't know how to be down-to-earth, and they are too impetuous." The Great自在Heavenly Demon admonished with the tone of someone who had been there.
Zhang Chen ignored the Great自在Heavenly Demon's admonition, but said unhappily: "I just want to quickly master the correct stroke drawing method of all the talismans in this book. Is there any shortcut? If there is no shortcut, I'm afraid I will have to teach you stroke by stroke. If you are not afraid of trouble, I don't mind learning from you stroke by stroke."
The Great自在Heavenly Demon looked at Zhang Chen with a surprised expression, unable to understand what tricks the kid in front of him was playing, so he earnestly persuaded: "The correct stroke order of the talisman is simple to learn, but the real core lies in the control and balance of mana. What's the use of learning more talisman drawing methods if you can't get the essence? It's better to concentrate on taking root and deeply cultivate a talisman."
