When the Beast Tide broke out in the territory of the Jiuhua Alliance, Ye Wuheng had communicated with the other fifth-rank sects. Only then did he discover that it wasn't just the Jiuhua Alliance, but the entire Sky Sword Continent was under attack.
Because of this, he had ordered the other fourth-rank sects to go to Hundred Flowers City to help. He had even sent Long Boming with some strong cultivators to help. Now that he had confirmed that the Soul race was behind this Beast Tide, for the sake of the safety of the entire Sky Sword Continent, he naturally wouldn't hold anything back. He immediately sent out the majority of the Jiuhua Alliance's strong cultivators to clear out the Beast Tide in the shortest time possible.
Although Lu Xuan wasn't dealing with the Beast Tide outside, his actions in the Hundred Thousand Mountains indirectly reduced the threat of the Beast Tide. Commanding tens of thousands of demonic beasts, Lu Xuan constantly searched the Hundred Thousand Mountains for Demon Emperors controlled by the Soul race. However, most of his time was wasted on traveling.
In more than ten days, the Soul race had already sent many Demon Emperors to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Only a few Beast Tides that were very far away were still on their way. After all, the Hundred Thousand Mountains was incomparably large. Lu Xuan had spent a full ten days using the Wind Spirit Boat to cross it. These Beast Tides could only cross on foot, which would take many times longer.
However, Lu Xuan's perception range was very wide now. Along the way, he managed to intercept a few waves of Beast Tides. Now, his Five Element Divine Patterns had all reached the third level. In addition to the three Thunderclap Divine Patterns, he had mastered the nomological laws of force. With the Dusty Sword in hand, his Body Refining Lineage alone was extremely powerful. Combined with the nine levels of Sky Sword and the second level of the Way of the Sword, he was unstoppable.
Any Demon Emperor he encountered had no chance of escaping. Only a fifth-rank Demon Emperor was a bit of a problem for Lu Xuan, but in the end, it still couldn't escape death.
Along the way, Lu Xuan and Little Tanuki had both benefited a lot. Even Hu Tong, who had done his best along the way, was rewarded with several Yao Cores by Lu Xuan. Hu Tong was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He was not very good at fighting, and it was quite difficult for him to obtain Yao Cores with his own strength. Now that he was rewarded by Lu Xuan, he was naturally happy.
After the battle, Lu Xuan held the newly obtained Soul Bead in his hand and thought to himself, As long as I fuse with this Soul Bead, I should be able to become a Nine Star Spirit Talisman Master.
The next step after the Nine Star Spirit Talisman Master was the Divine Talisman Master, which was an absolutely powerful existence. However, to reach the Divine Talisman Master realm was far more difficult than becoming a Nine Star Spirit Talisman Master. It was a leap in realms and not a simple accumulation of soul spirit power. Lu Xuan never thought that he could achieve it with just these Soul Beads.
Once again cultivating, Lu Xuan quietly absorbed the soul spirit power within the Soul Bead. His soul spirit power that was nearing completion was constantly growing. The sky gradually darkened, and the day had turned into night. A wave of soul spirit fluctuation was emitted. Nine Star Spirit Talisman Master, naturally, he had broken through!
Feeling the abundant soul spirit power, Lu Xuan felt that if he were to execute the Soul Shocking Technique with his current soul spirit power, he would probably be able to instantly kill an Origin Realm expert with a weak soul spirit power. This was the true meaning of killing the enemy without a trace.
This was merely the Soul Shocking Technique, which wasn't considered powerful among the soul arts. That Soul Race clansman was able to instantly kill the soul spirit of a Demon Emperor, which showed how powerful his methods were.
"I wonder if I can go against that Soul Race clansman with my current strength." Lu Xuan frowned slightly and muttered to himself. The Soul Race clansman was the mastermind behind the beast wave. If he wanted to completely eliminate the influence of the beast wave, he had to be eliminated.
Recalling the Demon Emperors that he had encountered along the way, Lu Xuan secretly estimated the strength of that Soul Race clansman. Along the way, he had only encountered one Rank 5 Demon Emperor, while the rest were only Rank 3 or Rank 4 Demon Emperors. If he wasn't so lucky, it should mean that the Soul Race clansman's strength was only at the level of a Rank 5 Demon Emperor.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains was so huge, and Lu Xuan didn't believe that there weren't any stronger Demon Emperors. If the Soul Race clansman had the strength to deal with those high-level Demon Emperors, he probably wouldn't waste his soul beads to command these Rank 3 or Rank 4 Demon Emperors.
However, even if that Soul Race clansman was only at the level of a Rank 5 Spirit Emperor, Lu Xuan didn't dare to guarantee that his current soul spirit power could withstand it. Otherwise, if he spent so much effort to find him, only to be killed by him, it would be like going for wool and coming home shorn. Although Lu Xuan wasn't afraid of taking risks, he wouldn't do something that would throw his life away.
"I have to think of a way to find that Soul Race clansman's hiding place first. Otherwise, even if I have enough strength, I might not be able to find him, let alone kill him," Lu Xuan muttered to himself.
However, this clearly wasn't an easy task. Although Lu Xuan was lucky and obtained a trace of the Soul Race clansman's memory, the Soul Race clansman had learned his lesson after suffering a loss. He would rather give up a soul bead than give Lu Xuan a chance to search his soul. Lu Xuan somewhat admired such a heroic decision.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan wasn't good at tracking. Even if he took the initiative to release the soul bead and let Little Tanuki use Void Travel to follow, that Soul Race clansman wouldn't be stupid enough to expose his hiding place for a soul bead. The most likely scenario was that he would fly around with Little Tanuki. After all, Little Tanuki's Void Travel also consumed her bloodline power and couldn't be used unlimitedly.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan had an idea. Although his soul spirit power had been improving, it had been a long time since he learned talismans. He didn't know if there were any talismans suitable for tracking.
He immediately calmed his mind and began to search for talismans in the ancient talisman technique. When it came to talismans, Lu Xuan had always been making last-minute efforts. He would only think of practicing when it was useful. Therefore, if he wanted to find a suitable talisman at this moment, he would really need to spend a lot of effort.
Now that he was already a Nine Star Talisman Master, he completely had the strength to inscribe Nine Star Talismans. Naturally, he wouldn't look at low-grade talismans and directly looked at the Nine Star Talismans recorded in the ancient talisman technique.
"Blazing Sky Red Lotus Talisman, Nine Star Attack-Type Talisman. Its power is incomparably powerful, comparable to a full-powered attack from an Initial Stage Absolute Void Realm martial artist."
"Golden Wings Iron Bone Talisman, Nine Star Auxiliary Talisman. It can greatly increase the defense and speed of a Talisman Master. When fighting against a martial artist, this is an excellent choice."
"Soul Lock Talisman, Nine Star Talisman. It can be used for both offense and defense. When attacking, this talisman can lock the soul of the enemy, reducing their soul energy and even killing them. When defending, it can lock one's own talisman. When the enemy attacks one's own soul, the lethality will be greatly reduced."
…
He wouldn't know if he didn't look at it, but after looking at it, he was shocked. The crowd of Nine Star Talismans dazzled Lu Xuan. This Talisman Master was indeed an existence that would become stronger the further one advanced. There were all kinds of talismans with different effects. They could be used for offense, defense, and auxiliary. In terms of methods, they were more than martial artists and body practitioners combined. He even saw the Mountain Destroying Saint Talisman that he had used to deal with the Yin specters.
For a moment, Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to look for tracking talismans. After all, these talismans were extremely powerful. If he could master a few of them, it would be of great help to him.
For the time being, Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to the ordinary offensive talismans. No matter how powerful their attacks were, how could they compare to his Heaven Sword Nine Heavens and Pulling Mountains and Rivers?
Instead, he was more interested in the auxiliary talismans. The Golden Wings Iron Bone Talisman could increase the defense and speed of the body. Although Lu Xuan's defense and speed weren't inferior, no one would complain about being stronger. Therefore, it had already been included in the list of talismans that Lu Xuan had to learn.
And the Soul Lock Talisman was what he urgently needed. It was for no other reason than to deal with the Soul race!
The Soul race's most powerful means were soul attacks. Not only could the Soul Lock Talisman reduce his soul energy, it could also protect his own soul. In this way, it would be of great help to Lu Xuan.
"Let's practice these two talismans first." Lu Xuan thought to himself. With the desire to hunt, he wasn't in a hurry to come out of seclusion. He had long forgotten the group of demonic beasts waiting outside and began to practice by himself.
The complexity of the Nine Star Talisman was far from what those talismans in the past could compare to. There were countless talismans contained in it, and the difficulty of drawing it was far higher than before. Fortunately, there were detailed records in the ancient talisman technique. Although it was a little troublesome, as long as one put in some effort, he could still learn it. After all, the most fundamental of the Talisman Dao was the soul energy.
Time passed day by day. When Little Tanuki saw that Lu Xuan hadn't come out of seclusion for a long time, she couldn't help but run over to take a look. She found that he was still attentively practicing, so she naturally didn't dare to disturb him. She slipped out quietly and went to flirt with the little white fox that she had taken a fancy to. Not knowing if it was because of Lu Xuan's influence, Little Tanuki was also a restless person. She hooked up with several beautiful fox "beauties" in a short time. Relying on her identity as Lord Little Tanuki, there was naturally no need to mention what happened after that …
Just like that, five days passed, ten days passed, and half a month passed … In this half a month, Lu Xuan didn't draw any talisman at all. However, he was already completely immersed in the world of the Talisman Dao. The entire Talisman Dao was like a new world. Countless talismans, each different, formed a complete world of the Talisman Dao.
Lu Xuan gradually understood that the Talisman Dao was also a kind of Dao. However, the threshold to comprehend this Dao was too high. Even a Nine Star Talisman Master couldn't cross the threshold before comprehending the Talisman Dao. He faintly felt that if he could comprehend the Talisman Dao one day, he would be able to become a powerful Divine Talisman Master!
This enlightenment could be said to have benefited Lu Xuan a lot. Although he couldn't successfully comprehend the Talisman Dao, he had already touched the edge of the Talisman Dao. However, at this moment, the way he looked at talismans and talismans was completely different. This feeling was like looking at a Yellow Level Martial Skill after learning a Black Level Martial Skill. Unexpectedly, it was so simple and so easy to master.
After waking up from the enlightenment, the Golden Wing Iron Bone Talisman's talisman emerged in Lu Xuan's mind. The talisman looked incomparably complicated before, and it seemed to take a long time to draw the talisman successfully. However, in his eyes, it was incomparably clear. He felt that he could even easily disassemble this talisman and reassemble it.
