Chapter 1711: Astonishing Talent
n several ancient gods who have entered decay!It is impossible for a divine master to be killed, and a blood-sacrificing divine master would not awaken other ancient divine masters out of temporary im...Enlightenment!
Perhaps it is due to his strength.
It could also be due to enlightenment.
Chen Changqing's understanding of the Xuanling Fu Jing can only be described as astonishing.
In just half a month, he had officially stepped into the ranks of a first-rank Grandmaster. Outside, this level of strength would be comparable to that of a divine king.
Then.
Six months.
Shen Changqing successfully advanced to the second rank of Fu Dao Grandmaster.
In three more years.
He has already successfully advanced to the third rank of Fu Dao master.
From learning the Xuanling Fu Jing to becoming a third-rank talisman master, Shen Changqing only took three years. Four years is not enough.
Even Qingyi, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but be shocked inwardly.
"Your mastery of talismanry is unparalleled throughout history. I, in my ancient times, have encountered many gifted talismanry practitioners, but none compare to you."
If you devote yourself wholeheartedly to the Dao of talismans, you will surely have a chance to become a top-tier talisman master!
He was truly shocked.
Less than four years.
To go from knowing nothing to becoming a third-rank Rune Dao Grandmaster, even just entering the lower ranks of the third rank, is enough to show how terrifying their talent in Rune Dao is.
Don't say it won't be here in four years.
Even if this time were magnified one hundredfold, one thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold, few people would be able to achieve the rank of a third-rank Rune Dao master.
After all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Third-rank Grandmaster.
He is already at a level comparable to that of a deity.
Qingyi naturally understood that Shen Changqing had a strong talent in cultivation, but she didn't expect the other party to have a deeper understanding of talismanry.
If this talent were exposed in ancient times, it would be enough to make him a top expert in the way of talismans.
Even Shen Changqing himself didn't expect that his talent in talismanry would be so powerful.
Cultivating the Xuan Ling Fu Jing.
Everything seems clear as day now.
Shen Changqing had a premonition that if he was given some more time, within three to five years, he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Xuanling Divine Monarch of old.
"It's a pity, the rank of Xuanling Fu Jing is too low. If there was a fourth-rank master's inheritance, it would be possible to continue cultivating!"
The Classic of Xuan Ling Talisman.
The limit is to cultivate to the middle stage of the third rank Fu Dao master.
To break the boundaries of the Xuanling Fulu Jing, one must create higher-level talismans through self-creation.
But.
This approach is much more difficult than creating other cultivation techniques.
You know.
Talismans are patterns that harmonize with heaven and earth. The moment a talisman is formed, it naturally derives corresponding divine power. This is the profound mystery of talismans.
But if there is even a slight error during the drawing process, there is no possibility of successfully completing the drawing.
So.
To create one's own unique Taoist talismans, one must sense and understand the heavens and earth. It is necessary to deduce higher-order talismans from the natural world. The difficulty of this process can be imagined.
>
Now.
In Shen Changqing's cave, there were already numerous talismans piled up somewhere.
These talismans were the finished products he had drawn after four years of cultivating the Xuanling Fu Jing.
Among them, a small number of lower-order talismans, most of which are sixth-order talismans, and the rest are mainly first-order master talismans and second-order master talismans.
As for the third-rank talismans, there's only one.
As Shen Changqing's divine sense moved, a talisman with a faint golden glow, about the size of a palm, appeared in his hand.
This talisman was made from a piece of ferocious beast fur that Shen Changqing found in a storage ring belonging to another Divine Emperor.
Being able to be collected by the God Emperor, the fur of a ferocious beast is also not low in rank, it is at the level of a divine monarch's initial stage.
Only fur of this caliber, from a beast of such rank, could possibly bear the talismans of a third-tier Grandmaster.
This talisman is not another.
>
It was the divine thunder talisman.
... Just like the Shen Lei Fu he obtained from the bandit cultivator when he killed him that year.
Looking at the mighty thunderous energy contained within the talisman above, Shen Changqing shook his head slightly and tucked the Shen Lei Fu away with a turn of his hand.
For him, the third-rank inferior master talisman wasn't very useful. It was better to wait and exchange it for some resources instead of wasting the Thunder God Talisman himself.
>
In order to refine this divine thunder talisman, Shen Changqing couldn't remember how many times he had failed. Each failure meant wasting the corresponding materials.
That is to say, Shen Changqing has abundant resources at his disposal, so he can afford such extravagance. If it were an ordinary god monarch, they would have already been bankrupt.
That's it from here.
It can also be seen.
Not everyone can walk the path of talismans.
Without the corresponding financial resources to withstand losses, it is also as difficult as reaching the heavens to achieve success in this field.
Shen Changqing was able to cultivate to the third rank of inferior master within less than four years. Apart from his talent, which accounted for most of the factors, a large amount of resources accumulated through trial and error was also one of the reasons.
Meanwhile.
For over three years, Shen Changqing has been constantly comprehending the Xuanling Fu Jing. Surprisingly, this allowed his previously unshakable bottleneck to loosen ever so slightly.
Although this loosening is still far from truly breaking down the barriers.
But such changes still made Shen Changqing feel immensely pleased.
Having spent over two hundred years in seclusion, contemplating the rules and rhymes of the Dao, I had only managed to take half a step forward. Now, simply practicing the Xuanling Fu Jing and exploring the path of talismanry, I have experienced such a profound change. This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.
Even before he began cultivating the Xuanling Fu Jing, Shen Changqing couldn't be sure if specializing in talismanry would be beneficial to him.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing also didn't waste time.
Swallowed the pill.
I regained some of my lost energy.
Then.
Shen Changqing continued to comprehend the Xuanling Fu Jing.
He has already become a third-rank inferior Rune Dao Master, but the upper limit of the Xuan Ling Fu Jing is at the third-rank middle-grade Rune Dao Master. Now he doesn't consider himself to have cultivated this school to its full potential.
Both are Third Rank Fu Dao Masters.
The gap between medium and low-grade products is actually quite significant.
The upper limit of inferior quality is at the third level of the Divine Monarch, but the upper limit of medium quality is at the sixth level of the Divine Monarch.
Cultivation!
Focus on cultivation!
>
Shen Changqing comprehended the heavens and earth, pondering the advanced talismans recorded in the Xuan Ling Fu Jing.
That's how it is.
That was a full six months.
One day.
Shen Changqing woke up from his state of enlightenment, then took out a piece of ferocious beast fur from the cave and, according to the method described in the Xuanling Fu Jing, manipulated the flames to melt and refine it.
Even the fur of powerful divine beasts could not withstand the burning flames.
At last.
Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

The fur melted, turning into a pool of liquid.
The impurities contained within were gradually removed and cleaned.
Immediately after, Shen Changqing struck another incantation, causing the liquid to gradually coalesce. Afterward, his divine sense acted like a blade, slashing down towards the solidifying liquid.
After a long time.
The flames dissipated.
In Shen Changqing's hand, there was now a stack of palm-sized talisman papers, as white as paper.
There are thirteen sheets of paper in total.
Because it was made from the skins of fierce beasts bestowed by a god, these thirteen sheets of talisman paper also reached the level of the third rank, lower grade.
>
Then.
Shen Changqing took out his spirit pen and, using the blood of ferocious beasts as ink, wrote runes on it.
The spiritual pen in his hand was also something he had refined himself with other materials a few years ago. It could be considered a twelfth-rank treasure, and it was more than enough for him to write and draw talismans.
As for the ferocious beast's blood, it was also obtained from other cultivators' storage rings.
Only Shen Changqing focused intently, his spirit brush dipped in the fresh blood of ferocious beasts, scribbling talismans on blank talisman paper. His mind and the spirit brush were one, he seemed to merge with heaven and earth.

Suddenly.

The paper trembled slightly.
Only to see the half-written talisman burn into nothingness, turning to ash in an instant.
“Failed!”
Shen Changqing looked at the ashes of the burning talisman paper, his expression was quite calm.
Writing talismans is bound to fail sometimes.
For four years.
Shen Changqing couldn't remember how many times he had failed. From the beginning, he would be shaken by failure, but now, he had reached a state of tranquility.
Failure is normal.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
If it succeeds on the first try, that's what's truly strange.
After all.
This time, Shen Changqing painted a third-rank mid-grade master talisman. As long as he could successfully paint it, he would have initially stepped into the realm of a third-rank mid-grade master.
>Subsequently, you only need to continuously improve the success rate, and basically there won't be any problems.
After slightly adjusting his state, Shen Changqing began his second drawing.
Failure!
Failure!
> Another failure!

Half an hour.
Thirteen sheets of talisman paper were completely consumed, and not a single talisman was successfully drawn.
“As expected, it’s not so easy to successfully cast a Tier 3 mid-grade talisman!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing sighed.
Instead of continuing to refine new talismans, he looked back at the reasons for his failure, summarized a wave of experience, and then continued refining new talismans.
Craft talisman paper!
Failure!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Summarize the experience!
Re-refine talisman paper!
Shen Changqing suddenly realized he had entered a cycle.
For several months.
He couldn't remember how many talismans he had consumed, but so far, none of the third-rank intermediate master talisman formations had been successfully drawn.
However.
After several months, Shen Changqing couldn't say that he had no gains.
By the time he reached the third rank of master talisman practitioner, he had already accumulated quite a bit of experience.
From the very beginning, when I had only drawn half of it, I failed immediately. Now, I am just a hair's breadth away from success.
Such a growth rate is truly remarkable.
Failure!
Another failure!
Before you know it.
A month has already passed.
With another failure, Shen Changqing looked at the few remaining talismans. Instead of drawing new ones, he swallowed a pill to recover his mental exhaustion.
Then.
Shen Changqing closed his eyes, recalling all the failures he had experienced over the past few months.
Hello!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Two days!
Three days!
Shen Changqing sat cross-legged in his cave dwelling for seven days, his tightly shut eyes suddenly flew open. A flash of sharp light burst forth, and his entire aura underwent a drastic change.
Then.
Shen Changqing's gaze fell on the talisman paper. His right hand grasped the spirit pen, dipped it in the fresh blood of the ferocious beast, and then directly wrote the familiar talismans on the talisman paper.
This action was smooth and seamless, without any hesitation, perfectly executed in one go. (End of chapter) directly reach the second level of the Divine Realm within just a year without any foundation. There must be something going on.Shen Changqing, after observing many things, his face became strange.“T...
