Below the Gu Ya, several figures dressed in Lotus Robes were shuttling back and forth, rummaging through the lush forest, seemingly finding nothing...
After a long while, soone exclaid, "Co quickly and see!"
Several figures around imdiately moved over, surrounding that person.
"Has the missing Secret Soldiers, along with Xu Sheng, been found?"
"No, it’s just... look here."
That disciple of the Lotus Sect pointed at a piece of empty land.
Such land was common at the canyon bottom—damp, carrying the scent of decaying plants, and with a faint moldy sll due to the lack of sunlight. Yet... the disciples could sense sothing unusual.
There were crusts of blood on the soil, remnants of flesh, severely torn fabric, and bone fragnts the size of beans...
The disciples of the Lotus Sect, who ca to find the bodies of the Cyan Lotus Secret Soldiers and Xu Sheng, fell silent, an ominous thought creeping into their minds.
"Were they all killed? Then cut up like this?"
"This is within the core territory of our Lotus Sect... Who would kill soone and then pulverize the bodies in such a manner? Isn’t that superfluous?"
"Also..."
"Unless... unless, after one strike, the Cyan Lotus Secret Soldiers couldn’t withstand his power and exploded into a mist of blood."
The disciples of the Lotus Sect suddenly felt a chill, glancing around the eerie forest, as if so mysterious creature was lurking, ready to devour them.
"Report to the Elder... We can’t handle this..."
...
...
Buzz...
Buzzing...
Buzz...
Driven by power, the Cyan Blade Long Knife emitted a humming sound like bees.
But it wasn’t a single bee; it was nurous bees.
Gradually, the buzzing disappeared, leaving a layer of hazy dark light hovering around the Cyan Blade Long Knife, a terrifying ultra-high-frequency vibration.
In the next instant, all these vibrations quieted down.
Li Yuan put away the knife, pondered over his Fifth Grade state.
In Sixth Grade, in terms of power, it’s Shadow Blood into Sand, and in operation, it’s the Visualization gained ’Talisman Seed’, with martial skills arising from it.
In Fifth Grade, the power constitutes an enhancent of Shadow Blood—Extre Yang Blood, or Source Blood, and operationally, it’s the ’Complete Ancestral Talisman.’
The Ancestral Talisman, Talisman Seed, essentially, are special thoughts that can drive one’s Shadow Blood.
Thus, using power in Sixth Grade alters the ntal realm.
Thus, after reaching Fifth Grade, because the three Talisman Seeds coalesce and integrate with oneself, forming a new personality is normal.
But for ordinary cultivators, this Ancestral Talisman is fixed in the heart, so they would develop a sense of a perfect personality, like Jing Shuixiang.
This personality might suppress their original personality, sending the original personality into slumber, but it might resurface at the Fourth Grade.
But Li Yuan, doesn’t face such troubles because his Ancestral Talisman is outside the heart, and... it seemingly can never be complete, yet it surpasses the completeness of other Ancestral Talismans.
"Husband, how goes your enlightennt?"
Lady Yan asked casually as she saw him taking a rest.
Li Yuan sheathed the knife, placing it on his back, saying, "Not bad, my power seems related to vibrations, which allow to bypass the opponent’s defenses and directly disintegrate them through the vibrations on the blade...
It not only shatters defensive armor but also vibrates the flesh and blood within their body into minuscule particles...
Simply put, with one swing of my blade, others would explode into blood mist, and their clothes would be utterly destroyed."
This small practical exercise allowed Li Yuan to further comprehend the characteristics of his power.
The essence of this power is not to ’ignore defenses’, but it is vibration.
When he embeds the Ancestral Talisman into his heart, his blade exhibits a ’vibrational force so fast it seems still’, so everything he cuts is exceptionally smooth.
Understanding the origin of his Ancestral Talisman, knowing the properties of this power, Li Yuan sought paper and brush, contemplating how to write down the ’Fifth Grade Cultivation thod.’
Of course, this thod, once written, will not be sent to the Lotus Sect but retained for when it’s the right ti to cultivate disciples in the future.
"Other cultivation skill creators, limited by themselves, can only create an Ancestral Talisman of three Talisman Seeds.
This fact is at least evidenced by the cultivation skill from the Divine Wood Hall.
Also, in the notes I saw in the Vine Pavilion at the Divine Wood Hall, there seems to be a shadow ntioning that the Ancestral Talismans of other forces also consist of three Talisman Seeds.
But I... I only created three Talisman Seeds as well.
However, these three seeds are extrely peculiar.
They are not complete seeds, but seem like so inducive objects.
Then, every cultivator thereafter can create their own Talisman Seeds.
Therefore, my Ancestral Talisman is an infinite Talisman Seed Ancestral Talisman.
No... there might be a limit, but I cannot yet see it."
Li Yuan bit his pen in thought.
"Then, can my disciples, when breaking through Fifth Grade, also not be limited to an Ancestral Talisman of three Talisman Seeds but beco holders of an Ancestral Talisman of four Talisman Seeds, even ten?"
"They should be able to."
"But my disciples would be different from .
My Ancestral Talisman is outside the heart, so even when it harbors chaotic will, it only affects when I use it.
But for my disciples, their Ancestral Talisman is within their heart, so they constantly endure such chaotic will.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will go insane."
Li Yuan rubbed his head in frustration, feeling that his path of inheritance seed to be facing a rupture.
