For ten days in a row, Guo Shier buried himself in the pile of books, working hard to learn new knowledge, not daring to have the slightest delay. Gu Mu was also busy in the talisman making hall.
Guo Shier learned a new set of exercises, specially used to train the dexterity of the fingers. This was a necessary skill to use incantations. When a person had to make hundreds of gestures in a minute, the dexterity of the fingers was very important. This was still only the most basic. For a Sacred Expert like Withered Tree, his two hands could change several thousand times in a minute. If he didn't have nimble and strong hands, there was no way he could do this.
Gu Mu came to Guo Shier's side and gave him some pointers. He looked at his practice and felt satisfied. He said, "Shier, today I'll take you to a place. You have to go there often in the future … Well, it's impossible in your low-level Talisman Continent. Let's go."
Guo Shier was very curious, but he didn't ask. He followed his master out.
…
Chenxiao Sect.
Talisman Illusory Path.
Guo Shi 'er saw a path flickering with light. There were many people slowly walking along the path. There were also some people sitting cross-legged on the path as if they were silently resisting something. If one looked closely, they could see flying talisman runes flashing in the air and disappearing. This was an open-air circular path. There were a total of six circles, circling inwards one after another.
Guo Shier looked at the signboard on the side of the road and asked, "Master, what is the Talisman Illusory Path? What are those people doing? "
Gu Mu said, "There are a total of two such paths in the Chenxiao Sect. One is for talisman professions, and the other is for talisman martial professions. We can now clearly see the people on the path, but they can't see outside. This path is for cultivating talismans, and there are a total of six circles. "
"Each circle represents a stage. The outermost circle represents talisman warriors, the second circle is talisman masters, and so on. Remember, the first time you enter is the most important. It can help you build a solid foundation. The longer you persist, the better the effect."
Guo Shier said curiously, "That's it? Nothing else? "
Gu Mu said, "You'll know when you go in. It's useless no matter what I say."
At the entrance stood a large group of people, most of them wearing silver robes. They were all here to send the disciples into the talisman illusory path. There were also a few people in purple-red robes, including Zhu Juan, whom Guo Shi 'er had met before. His huge body was very conspicuous no matter where he went. Although his eyes were small, they were very sharp. He saw Gu Mu and Guo Shier at a glance.
"Gu Mu, you brought your disciple to walk the talisman illusory path? Tut tut, this is your first time. This is good stuff. Hehe, just go ahead, go as far as you can … Don't go too fast, go slowly, there will be unexpected benefits. "
Guo Shier said, "Thank you for your advice, Uncle Fat."
Zhu Zhu to Juan Zhu to say of, and, and of to say, "Master of."
Zhu Mu and of to say, "Zhu," Zhu Zhu Juan Juan Zhu.
Zhu Juan said, "Even a blockhead like you is here, why can't I? It's all for my two little disciples. I've walked three times, but I still can't meet the requirements of a talisman master. I'm stuck in the outermost circle and can't get in. Look, they're still sitting there. "
Gu Mu said, "How could you accept someone with such potential? You deserve to be involved!"
Zhu Juan was so angry that he shouted, "My disciple's potential is very good! He's only fifteen this year, and he can already become a talisman master. What kind of potential does he need? "
"Shier! Why are you here? "
Guo Shier turned his head and quickly pulled his master's sleeve. He showed an innocent and cute smile and said, "Hello, Master's wife."
Mo Nier answered and picked up Guo Shier. She said, "Shier, baby, you're also here to walk the illusory path?"
Guo Shier smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I'm about to go in. Master is telling me what to pay attention to." Although he didn't like it when Mo Nier hugged him, he didn't care about it since he was just a ten-year-old child. He could see that Monique loved him from the bottom of her heart. It was love for a child.
Mo Nier said, "This illusory path is a path of learning, testing, cultivation, and inheritance. A talisman master can only walk to the outermost circle. Once you enter the second circle, it means that you've advanced to a talisman master. The third circle is for a great talisman master, the fourth circle is for a talisman master, the fifth circle is for a talisman master, the sixth circle is for a great talisman master, and the last circle is for a great talisman master. It's very difficult to reach the last circle."
Guo Shier stared at the sixth circle. It was only a dozen meters long and there was no one inside. There was no one in the fifth circle either. There were many people in the fourth circle, and the third circle had a few hundred people. All of them were great talisman masters. In the entire Northern Talisman Sect, there were only a few people who possessed such strength. Yet, there were already several hundred of them here. It was truly shocking. As for the first and second circles, there were even more people inside.
Mo Nier said, "The number of people entering the illusory path is limited every day. The first circle can only accommodate a thousand people, the second eight hundred, and the third five hundred. The first circle is the most limited, but your master has a spot that can be used at any time."
Gu Mu said, "Alright, Shier, get ready to go."
Mo Nier put down Guo Shier and said, "I'll take you there."
The first circle was mostly filled with teenagers and a few children. Most of them were around the age of three to fifteen for Shier. If they were in the Northern Talisman Gate, they would only be at the age of an apprentice, but the children here had already advanced to become Talisman Warriors. A small number of youths could be seen in the second circle as well. Those were all extremely talented youths, disciples that the Chenxiao Sect had focused on nurturing.
At the entrance, there were people guarding it. A purple-robed old man was in charge, five or six people in silver robes were assisting him, and a dozen inner disciples were in charge of maintaining order. There were hundreds of disciples waiting in line to enter. Gu Mu said, "Old Yan, Yan Ziling, I want a spot!"
The purple-robed old man opened his eyes and saw Gu Mu. He said, "Gu Mu, why do you want a spot? You don't have a disciple. "
Gu Mu said indifferently, "Now I have one. Don't talk nonsense, give me a spot."
Yan Ziling said in surprise, "You, a cultivation madman, are actually willing to accept a disciple? Haha, let me see, who is your disciple? "
Gu Mu said, "Shier, come and meet your Martial Uncle Yan."
Guo Shier took a step forward and said, "Greetings, Martial Uncle Yan."
Yan Ziling asked, "Is this your first time entering the illusory path?"
Guo Shier found that everyone who saw him would ask this question. It seemed like the first time was really important. He had to hold on. He said, "Yes, this is my first time seeing the illusory path. I never knew about it before."
Yan Ziling nodded. He said a few words to a person in silver robes beside him and smiled, "Okay, arrange for him to enter immediately. Someone will come out soon … Okay, I'll send you in. Take this talisman. If you feel that you can't hold on any longer, just crush it. Do you understand? Come, I'll hang it around your neck. "
Mo Nier shouted, "Shier, you can do it!"
Gu Mu didn't say anything. He just stared at him deeply. Guo Shier felt the encouragement in his words. He nodded and stepped into the maze of talismans.
As soon as Guo Shier stepped onto the illusory path, he immediately stopped moving. He was very cautious and wouldn't be rash. He wanted to carefully experience this strange path.
The moment he entered the illusory path, the surroundings suddenly quieted down. He looked around in confusion. It was a vast expanse of whiteness, but there were road signs formed by talismans on the ground. The faint fluorescent light extended forward. He knew that he only needed to follow the road signs. There was no one around. It was quiet and there was no sound.
Guo Shier carefully took a step forward. When his feet landed, dozens of talisman scripts floated up from the ground. They flickered with white light and flew in a circle in the air before quickly merging with his body. At that moment, he felt that there were some extremely fine talisman scripts in his soul. They were immediately attracted by the life talisman ball and flew around it.
Guo Shier was very surprised. He closed his eyes and carefully felt it. He seemed to understand something. It was just that there were too few talisman scripts. He couldn't help but take another step forward. Dozens of talisman scripts floated up and were quickly attracted by his soul into his body. He suddenly understood that this was a special method of inheritance. It could let people quickly learn the knowledge of talismans.
From the moment Guo Shier stepped onto the illusory path, Gu Mu, Mo Nier, Zhu Juan and Yan Ziling had been staring at him. The first time they entered, they could see a child's potential. No matter if it was his willpower or learning ability, they could all be seen. They were outside and could clearly see the people inside.
After Guo Shier entered, he stood at the entrance for a whole minute before walking forward. He walked very slowly. It could be seen that he was very cautious. He wasn't like some children who desperately walked forward. Yan Ziling said in surprise: "This child is really careful. Not bad, not bad. This time is enough for him to adapt to the talisman scripts entering his body."
Mo Nier watched nervously and said: "Just walk like this, don't stop … … it doesn't matter if it's slow. As long as you walk forward, there will be benefits."
Guo Shier walked slowly and firmly. With every step he took, there would be talisman scripts floating up and the number also increased. The life talisman ball's rotation gradually sped up and started to attract the outside talisman scripts into his body. It absorbed almost all of the floating talisman scripts.
Unknowingly, he had already walked the outermost circle.
Gu Mu knew of Guo Shier's strength and knew that his level was far beyond a talisman warrior. So he looked at him with a calm expression. Mo Nier was very nervous. Even though she knew that Guo Shier's potential was amazing, she didn't know how strong he was. Potential was only potential, not strength.
Yan Ziling was very surprised. Very few children could walk the first circle on their first try. Most of them found it hard to continue halfway. He didn't think that Guo Shier could walk this far. Moreover, looking at his unhurried appearance, it didn't seem to be the slightest bit strenuous.
Zhu Juan said in surprise: "So powerful! He entered the second circle! "
Guo Shier still walked unhurriedly. Other than stopping for a minute when he first came in, he kept walking forward slowly. His speed wasn't fast, but it wasn't too slow either. He maintained a certain frequency, walking about thirty steps per minute. Even when he entered the second circle, it was still the same speed.
Yan Ziling murmured: "This … … how is this possible?" He turned his head and asked: "Gu Mu, how old is this child?"
Gu Mu said: "Ten years old!"
Yan Ziling sucked in a breath of cold air and said: "Ten years old? Simply inconceivable! Where did you find this disciple? "
Gu Mu didn't answer and only stared at Guo Shier with a satisfied expression.
