The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 176: Chapter 174: Unexpected Discovery

“How could I forget? I can now project my divine sense outwardly. I can completely use the power of divine sense to explore what it is.” After saying this, Shen Luo brought the jade slip to his forehead, and pasted it onto his own brow.

His eyes slightly closed and his divine sense sank into the jade slip.

Immediately, Shen Luo felt a burst of white light before his eyes, and his divine sense really entered into a white space.

He looked around within, using his divine soul, and found that in the void of the space, there were fragments of golden text floating in mid-air, amassing to tens of thousands.

“This can’t be some heavenly skill!” Shen Luo was overjoyed in his heart and eagerly looked towards those characters.

However, after reading a few segments, he knew he was on the wrong track again.

“Three years of Dragon Tree, early May, just after Duan Yang, I traveled with a good friend to Mount Tanji in Eastern Victorious Divine Continent. During the mountain climbing, I heard that there was a clear spirit dew appearing near the Hunyuan Pond. Upon arrival, I saw a seven-colored tertiary-foraging fairy deer radiating with colorful light all over its body, and its demon qi disappearing, indicating that it had eaten the clear spirit dew, thus realizing its magical effect. Initially, I wanted to capture the tertiary-foraging fairy deer, either as refinement material or as a mount, but its cultivation level had increased greatly due to the effect of clear spirit dew. Even with the joint efforts of my friend and I, it remained unattainable, which was regrettable. ”

“In the spring of the 16th year of Baoli, I travelled to the Eastern Great Tang. While passing through the western part of Leizhou in Northern Ju Lu Continent, I accidentally saw a man selling swords on the street in a town. I was greatly amazed when I first noticed that the sword contained faintly embedded thunder and lightning, and I could hear the thunderous sound from tens of feet away. However, ordinary people failed to notice it and did not know it’s a treasure. After I purchased the sword from him at a high price, I only found out that it was forged by his blacksmith ancestor and was struck by thunder during the making. His ancestor died and it has been deemed unlucky ever since, which led to the sword being covered in dust. Isn’t it strange that ordinary mortals, as long as they are in harmony with the heavenly and human, can also create magical treasures? Isn’t it fortunate that I got this due to chance?”

It turns out that the text in this jade slip is a collection of travel notes, recording a series of bizarre experiences its master had encountered along the way.

Although the name of the person is not mentioned in the text, it is clear that he is an Inner Sect Disciple of Mount Fangcun.

At first, Shen Luo felt a little disappointed, but after reading a few chapters, he didn’t feel that way anymore.

He originally enjoyed reading novels of immortals’ adventures and miscellaneous notes of travelling scholars. The content of this jade slip is even more colorful and bizarre, attracting his attention naturally.

Latter in the notes, Shen Luo also saw a story about the interior of their Great Tang territory. Even though it was not personally experienced by the owner of the jade slip, it was still recorded by him.

Apparently, in Tang Qiu County City within Dazhou of the Great Tang, there was a wealthy businessman’s house that had a stepping stone at the door, within which was hidden a Thousand-Year Spirit Milk. It was bought back by the Great Tang Dynasty Government for a large amount of silver, and was processed by an old alchemist in the Astronomical Bureau into a miraculous potion that can bring bones back to life.

However, the owner of the jade slip didn’t agree with this statement, just writing at the end of the article: “When I return to the Sect, I will consult with my Master or my Ancestor, then we will know if it is true or not.”

The years recorded in the text by the owner of the jade slip were very confusing, covering almost all of the Four Great Continents. He probably used the year number of the local country each time. The timespan extends up to a hundred years.

Among these, in addition to recording these interesting events and strange things, there are also many records about the evil demons encountered during his travels, most of them were killed by him with his sword.

Although the owner of the jade slip did not mention his real cultivation level in these travel notes, one can tell through the recorded demon hunting experiences that his cultivation realm is extremely high and he should at least be a Great Mahayana Stage Cultivist.

Moreover, one can see from his words that he is very proud of his Sect, Mount Fangcun. Every time he mentioned it, he was very satisfied and had a great sense of accomplishment. As for that Ancestor of his Sect, the “Bodhi Ancestor”, he was even more generous with his praise and his writing is always filled with compliments and worship.

In some places, even Shen Luo couldn’t help but be shocked. For example, in the travel notes, it was mentioned that this Bodhi Ancestor was a true Heavenly Immortal who had achieved the status of the Great Luo fruit. He even hinted that he was a real powerful existence, on par with the Three Purities and Four Emperors.

Keep in mind, those Three Purities and Four Emperors are said to be the highest beings ruling the Heavenly Realm in the legends!

“Fortunately, you have written this in your own travel notes. If it gets out, won’t it scare tens of thousands of people to death?” Shen Luo naturally didn’t believe this. He couldn’t help but touch his nose and mockingly said.

He continued to read according to the contents of these travel notes, his eyes suddenly sparkled when he discovered something different at the end of these texts.

“Oh, there are some talismans recorded here!” @@novelbin@@

At the end of those vast amounts of text, there are five glowing golden talismans made of condensed lines, hanging in the void. Their designs are complex and each one has its own unique characteristics.

Shen Luo was overjoyed in his heart. He rubbed his hands together and began to carefully observe those talismans.

After looking at them, he found that the designs of these five glowing talismans were quite complex. Apart from the one that starts with the character “wind” that looked somewhat familiar, the other talismans were quite strange to him.

Upon closer examination, small notes were written underneath these talismans, briefly describing their names, functions and how to draw them.

The talisman that appeared slightly familiar to Shen Luo is named “Flying Talisman”. It falls under the auxiliary category of talismans, and more specifically, it belongs to the wind attribute.After seeing the function of this talisman, his heart couldn’t help but stir.

According to the description, this talisman can make a person as light as paper for a certain period of time, allowing them to rise with the wind and travel in the air.

For him as he is now, this is absolutely great!

If he had a talisman like this two years ago when his cultivation level was still low, he wouldn’t have been so desperate when he encountered the Mad Leopard.

“Speaking of which, it’s no wonder I find it somewhat familiar. It turns out to be quite similar to Bai Xiaotian’s Escape Talisman. I just don’t know which one of these two talismans is better.” Shen Luo muttered to himself with a guess.

After speaking, his divine soul retracted, focusing his gaze on the Flying Talisman, and soon imprinted it into his Sea of Knowledge.

After a moment of effort, Shen Luo engraved the drawing method of the Flying Talisman into his heart, then his gaze fell onto the first talisman on the left. Like the common talismans, it starts with the two characters “Imperial Edict,” and the lines in the patterns below are not smooth. Among them, there are many stops and breakpoints. When connected, they look a little like a human figure, and those nodes resemble human acupoints, which is quite unusual.

“Binding Talisman, can use the mana contained within the talisman to seal person’s meridians and acupoints, making their body subject to control, and they can’t move rashly for a short period of time…This is an interesting talisman, it will come in handy in the future.” Shen Luo nodded, smiling while he said it.
