C1758 Talisman Road

The talismans that descended from the tribulation clouds continued to expand, one by one, until Lin Bai's entire area was completely occupied by talismans. Every single strand of the talisman shook the heavens!

Under the attacks of the talismans, Lin Bai's body felt like it was carrying several large mountains, heavy to the point that he was almost unable to breathe. Even his bones seemed to be cracking under the pressure of these talismans.

He could not continue like this. Apart from the talisman, he could not use any other means. He had to figure out the great Dao of talismans as soon as possible. Only by possessing this great Dao could he have the power to fight against the tribulation of talismans!

If he wanted to understand the art of talismans, he would need to know what it was! Under the excruciating pain, Lin Bai chanted the Heart Cleansing Curse in a low voice, protecting his mind from the interference of the talisman markings. After that, he focused all of his attention on analyzing the great Dao of talismans.

What was a talisman? According to what Li Tian Yuan said before, talismans were written on yellow paper and silk with the brush drawn and bent, as if words were not words, as if images were not pictures; talismans were written on the yellow paper and silk with the God of Heaven's secret characters recorded between the talismans. Talismans were the language of the gods. They were talismans that conveyed the will of the gods. Using them, one could call upon the gods to impeach ghosts, suppress demons, and cure illnesses.

To be more precise, the talisman was impersonating the patterns of the heaven and earth, using the aura of the heaven and earth to exert an incredible effect! What were the five elements? The common point was metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Only when the five elements evolved would there be the existence of the world!

Talisman, rune, and brush, these three entities, in truth, were just another type of existence of the five elements. They were just means to materialize the five elements and express them in a different way! Its Essence had not changed!

The five elements were scattered throughout the world. They had created this world because they were connected to each other, and because they were connected to each other, they were the reason why this world was filled with life, death, and prosperity! Talismans, on the other hand, relied on talisman markings to condense the power of the five elements and transform them into their original form. This allowed them to gather in one place and unleash their might based on the laws of Life and Death.

Talismans were created using a talisman brush, so the brush had to be compatible with the five elements. The talisman had the power to kill and decide, so it was a combination of the five elements! Only by understanding that there was a correlation between the two would one be able to truly grasp the great Dao of talismans!

At this moment, Lin Bai did not deliberately make himself attempt to draw a talisman. Instead, he forcefully endured the intense pain in his body and mind as he continuously analyzed everything related to talismans, trying to uncover the source of the pain! Under such circumstances, he felt as if he had vaguely grasped something, as if he had seen through a speck of the great Dao of talismans!

But Lin Bai was clear that all he had done now was to peep at the panthers within his control! There were still many road talismans that he had yet to unearth! He felt that as long as he continued, he would be even stronger! Moreover, he even felt that he had been wrong before. The talisman markings that hung down from the tribulation clouds were actually incomplete and missing something!

What was wrong? What was there to not understand? What was missing? Narrowing his eyes, Lin Bai's brain continued to operate at a high speed as he pondered unceasingly about what he had missed!

Talisman, the Great Dao! These two words lingered in Lin Bai's heart. Under such intense consideration, Lin Bai had already forgotten that his body was being subjected to such an intense pressure. He even felt that he had entered an ethereal state!

Carrier! What was missing was the carrier of the talisman! At this moment, Lin Bai's heart stirred. He suddenly felt that he had grasped the truth. He had found the most crucial point of the road, the missing part of the runes within the tribulation cloud!

Although the talisman was borrowing the momentum of the heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the five elements to unleash its terrifying might, it actually needed a carrier to achieve all of this! And this carrier was the one who used the talisman!

At this very moment, the runes within the tribulation cloud, although shockingly powerful, was still incomplete because this talisman was not cast by a human. Instead, it was simply imitated by the Heavenly Dao based on the logic of the world's evolution, just like how he had imprinted the path of the Sword Pavilion's ancestor.

In fact, the reason why his Sword Truth was unable to obstruct those runes was actually only because he hadn't yet reached the level where he could imprint the teachings of the Sword Pavilion's Martial Ancestor!

Even with its power and the aura of the Great Dao, it had only gained the skin and did not obtain the true essence! The Dao is not fixed. Everyone's Dao is different. Only the Dao that suits you the most is his Dao!

The Heavenly Dao only had a simple perception, without consciousness or intelligence. As such, it had no way to choose what was most suitable for it. It could only force itself to copy and take out everything that had happened! This was the reason why he felt that the runes within the tribulation clouds were still lacking when compared to the great Dao of talismans!

"You only have a simple perception, but I am different. I am conscious and intelligent. You cannot perfectly find a Dao that suits you, but I can!" The light that radiated from his eyes had reached a terrifying level, like two torches in a dark night. He slowly raised his head, stared at the sky above him, and revealed a disdainful smile, as he said, "You are only copying the talismans, but now, I will show you what the real ones are!

What happened?! Upon hearing Lin Bai's voice, Leng Zhan's eyes widened as she stared at him in puzzlement. At that moment, she felt that the Lin Bai in her eyes had undergone some sort of change. It was as if he had fused with the world and became a part of it, yet was also independent from the rest of the world!

He was in it, but he was also independent! This was an extremely contradictory situation. However, at this moment, it made Leng Wuyan feel as if this was the way it should be. This contradiction had a sense of perfection.

Dao! This was the Dao! Suddenly, Leng Zhan suddenly thought of a term. Moreover, when she thought of this term, her palms became wet with sweat and goosebumps appeared all over her body.

"I have mastered the Dao of Talismans!" At this moment, Lin Bai's voice abruptly rang out once again. Suddenly, he raised his hand and the Innate True Divine Art seeped out of his body. It carried a talisman brush as it swiftly flew towards him before landing in his hand.
