Chapter 180: Trial Space
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Late at night, the dazzling stars in the sky above the Linhai Immortal City were still shining as before.
On this ordinary day, a large number of rogue cultivators were either meditating, refining pills, making talismans, or buying wine to have fun. They did not know that all the core members and higher-ups of the top faction, the True Treasure Pavilion, were waiting for midnight.
As the night gradually deepened, Pei Huoyu looked at the main quiet room with an inexplicable glint in her eyes. Even though she knew very well that with the current situation of the talisman scriptures that Shen Ping had grasped, it was basically impossible for him to rush to the top of the Hidden Dragon Rankings, for some reason, she still had some expectations.
“Fellow Daoist Shen. All you need is time. 1 can’t help you. 1 can only motivate you in the way you like.” She sighed in her heart.
Time passed bit by bit. It was midnight. Everyone, including Shen Ping, took out their core jade tokens. An hour later, the jade token said, “The trial space is open.”
Whoosh.
Almost instantly, the divine sense of all the core members of the True Treasure Pavilion permeated the jade token space and pushed open the door to the trial assessment space.
In the originally dark house, it became spacious and translucent. The walls around the house seemed to be made of special materials. It looked like a palace hall. There were many complicated patterns carved on the surface of the walls. These patterns included talismans, pill furnaces, artifact cauldrons, array discs, and other immortal cultivation symbols.
However, the roof and the ground were engraved with strange beasts. An area lit up in the center of the giant beast pattern.
“New core member Shen Ping, please stand in the bright area in the center.” A gentle voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Shen Ping did as she said. Soon, he stood in the center of the Giant Beast Map.
“Please choose the skill you want to train in.”
“Talisman Dao.”
As his voice fell, the talisman pattern on the wall instantly flickered. Before Shen Ping could react, a pillar of light immediately surged out from the bright area under his feet. This pillar of light rushed to the roof and spread in all directions at a visible speed. When it completely drowned the house,
He was stunned to find that the environment in front of him had changed. Surrounding him were dark and oppressive jagged rocks. They were densely packed. As he sized it up, Shen Ping suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and could not help but be surprised. “Magic powers in the Foundation Establishment… What, what’s going on?”
Just as he was feeling surprised, the gentle voice sounded again. “New core, Shen Ping, in order to ensure that the trial space is relatively fair, all the cultivators are given magic powers and cultivation levels at the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm. You are on the first level. As you are a Talisman Master, the content of this trial…”
Shen Ping came to a realization.
The content of the first level of the Talisman Master’s trial space was quite simple. He only needed to stand on the spot and kill all the attackers. Moreover, there was a layer of defensive spiritual light within dozens of feet of him.
Therefore, what he had to do was try his best to kill all the enemies before the defensive spiritual light shattered.
Buzz.
After the gentle voice explained the rules, a layer of defensive spiritual light suddenly surged out from the edge of the ground where Shen Ping was. There were special spirit runes on the surface of this spiritual light, and at the same time, there were traces of array formations.
Bang!
However, just as Shen Ping was observing the defensive spiritual light, the surrounding strange rocks seemed to have come alive and suddenly collided with the spiritual light. Instantly, the defensive spiritual light shook violently, and the flickering light dimmed a little.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
In just a few breaths, a large number of strange rocks crashed into the defensive spiritual light like a storm.
Shen Ping could clearly sense that the defensive energy of the spiritual light was rapidly being consumed. He spread out his powerful divine sense and quickly estimated that according to this attack frequency, the defensive spiritual light could last for at most four hours.
He was not flustered. After all, this was only a trial space. If it was a real battle, perhaps even a hundred of him could not compare to Pei Huoyu.
However, if he was not afraid of death, Then his theoretical combat experience would be much richer. He glanced around. Other than his magic robe, he only had one spirit ring left.
There were all kinds of talismans and materials in the spirit ring, and more than a hundred of each had been prepared. It was obvious that the challenger had to make talismans on the spot to kill those strange rocks.
“Even the defensive spiritual light can’t withstand the attack of the strange stone. Even if 1 make a Shield Spirit Talisman, it’s probably useless. In that case, 1’11 quickly make an ordinary Lightning Talisman and see if 1 can kill the strange stone!” He thought for a moment.
Shen Ping immediately took out the talisman materials and raised the talisman brush to make it. The stronger the magic powers and divine sense, the time needed to make talismans would be shorter.
When he was outside, he had already completed making ordinary Lightning Talismans with his magic powers at the third level of the Foundation Establishment realm very quickly. Now that he was in the trial space and had the power of the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm, coupled with his powerful Golden Core divine sense, it wouldn’t even take five minutes to make them with the Vibration Rune technique.
Not long after, he made the Lightning Talisman in one go. Then, he activated his magic power. The Lightning Talisman immediately turned into a bolt of purple lightning that struck the strange rock.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
A large number of lightning snakes surrounded it. However, the surface of the jagged rock only emitted a little charred green smoke, and nothing else was affected.
This made Shen Ping frown.
Although it was just an ordinary Lightning Talisman, a second-stage demon beast would be injured. What kind of demon beast was this strange rock in front of him? It was too thick-skinned.
Seeing this situation, he did not waste any more time making ordinary talismans. Instead, he directly began to make the first volume of the strange beast pattern talisman diagram.
Compared to the Lightning Talisman, although there were only three special spirit runes that had transformed into many spirit rune circuits in the first volume of the talisman beast diagram, it was quite time-consuming to make it because there was no specific beast blood to match the talisman paper. However, when Shen Ping took out the talismans materials, he realized that they were very suitable to make the talisman beast diagram.
This made him overjoyed. It was obvious that the talisman materials prepared in the trial space had special beast blood mixed with the talisman beast diagram.
He calmed his mind and prayed. Shen Ping picked up the talisman brush again and devoted himself to making and sketching.
The spirit runes in the first volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture were similar to ordinary Level 2 talismans. When he used the Vibration Rune to outline them, his speed was only slightly slower than the Lightning Talisman.
Ten minutes later, as the talisman brush stopped, he immediately felt the intense fluctuation of the strange beast pattern on the talisman paper. This was a sign that it was about to collapse.
Shen Ping hurriedly used his powerful Golden Core divine sense to sense the balance point according to the control method of the hidden runes. Over the past few days, he had already become extremely familiar with this.
Looking at the talisman beast diagram floating in front of him, a smile appeared on his face. The previous strange beast pattern diagram did not have any power. However, this one was different. It had extremely powerful power.
Swoosh.
The moment his magic powers and divine sense were activated, the talisman beast diagram had already rushed out of the defensive spiritual light at lightning speed.
Boom!!
As the talisman beast diagram exploded, a destructive strange energy swept over and instantly destroyed more than a hundred strange rocks.
“The talisman beast diagram is still the most powerful!” Shen Ping was extremely excited. Therefore, he repeated the same trick and made four more talismans in a row to destroy the large number of strange rocks that attacked the defensive spiritual light.
Before the defensive spiritual light could collapse, he completely killed 500 strange rocks.
“Congratulations to the new core, Shen Ping, for passing the first level of the trial space. Please rest for a moment and head to the second level.” A gentle voice sounded.
A relieved smile appeared on Shen Ping’s face. At least he did not fail on the first level.
Zhongsheng Continent.
True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters
In the lofty palace that seemed to exist in an alternate space, dozens of figures sat on the throne with distorted space. In the middle of the hall, a white jade tower floated. It was half the height of a person and emitted a fluorescent light.
“Not bad. In just four hours, a member of the A-grade core has rushed to the third level. This little guy must be the personal disciple of Hall Master Tong under the Star Hall. His talent in array formations is extremely outstanding. Currently, he has already comprehended the second volume of the Array Scripture. If nothing goes wrong, he will grow to the Hall Master level in the future.”
“The others on the Glory Ranking are alright. Unfortunately, none of them are too outstanding.”
“Two people have rushed to the second level of the Hidden Dragon Rankings. The new disciple of the Mountain Fire Hall Master under the Moon Spirit Hall has performed well. After all, he has only cultivated for a short time. To be able to reach the second level so quickly, he is indeed very talented in the Dao of Talismans.”
“It’s still too early to say. We’ll be able to determine the standard after the rankings stabilize.”
As he listened to the casual discussions around him, the figure of the highest throne did not fluctuate at all..
