The power and concept contained in the two talismans were different, but there was a similarity between them.
Similar to the first talisman in the shape of a tile, the second talisman in the shape of a bamboo slip also contained a type of defense and protection, a dignified aura.
It was not very compatible with a certain Hierarch with the surname Chen.
However, Chen Luoyang was not sure if it was because of the previous battle of guarding the gate of the vast land of the Divine Land, or because of the foundation laid by the first edict, but he did not encounter any obvious rejection when he tried to understand the second edict.
Although there were still some obstacles, it was still within a tolerable range.
This treasure was already extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for a martial artist of Emperor Wu's level to truly understand the power and concept contained within.
Xue Gu Cun possessed a precious treasure, but it did not have much of an effect. On one hand, it was because his cultivation base in the Devil Path and his gloomy and greedy style were not compatible with the treasure. On the other hand, it was because his cultivation base was not high enough.
When Chen Luoyang obtained the first talisman, the situation was not much different.
As the first person to handle it, Su Mingjue's willpower and thoughts were compatible with the talisman. That was why he could barely activate the power of the talisman.
However, his cultivation base was too low. The power that he could activate was very limited. As a result, it was easily taken down by Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang had to rely on Black Pot's help to subdue the talisman.
Even then, the talisman was still resisting his and Black Pot's suppression.
After that, with the help of Black Pot and the 'Hou Tu' form of the Divine Martial and Demon Fist, Chen Luoyang spent a long time before he finally made substantial progress.
Right now, the second talisman was much more docile in front of Chen Luoyang than the first talisman.
This seemed to be a good start.
Hence, this time, Chen Luoyang tried to refine and understand this jade talisman in the shape of a bamboo slip by himself without the help of Black Pot.
Although he wanted to test if the second talisman would help Black Pot to produce new changes, it was a troublesome matter to not be able to take out the treasure after it was placed inside Black Pot.
Since the first Talisman Decree was already inside, he might as well try to put the second Talisman Decree outside.
Chen Luoyang sat cross-legged in the dark underground world, absorbing the surrounding black fog and gathering it around him. Using this as a foundation, he summoned the bamboo-slip-like talisman.
He did not use Black Pot this time. His confidence lay mainly in the foundation laid by the first Talisman Order.
The black fog gradually surrounded the jade talisman that looked like a bamboo slip.
Then, as time passed, the black mist actually condensed into a thick layer of earth that spread out in all directions, forming a complete land.
The bamboo slip-like jade amulet had already disappeared in front of Chen Luoyang, as if it had been buried in the ground.
Chen Luoyang was not in a hurry. He sat cross-legged on this pitch-black land and meditated quietly. He was communicating with the two talismans at the same time.
It was as though he had sown a seed.
Now, this seed was buried in the soil, quietly absorbing nutrients, waiting for the moment to sprout.
Time continued to pass, but the seed remained motionless.
It was as though Chen Luoyang had planted a sapling, but it was already dead.
Chen Luoyang continued to sit still.
The surrounding world was silent, not a single sound could be heard.
Chen Luoyang waited patiently. Every day, he quietly cultivated. Occasionally, he would get up and get rid of the people from the Mortal World who came to the Divine Land to scout for information. This was to ensure that the outside world would never be able to figure out the depth of this place.
One by one, he buried them in the ground to be used as fertilizer.
Just like that, seven days later, in the quiet and dark underground world, a faint sound suddenly came.
The sound was so faint that it was easy to ignore.
But Chen Luoyang would not. Because before this sound was heard, his heart moved slightly and he sensed it.
It originated from the two talismans.
At this moment, the change had finally arrived.
Although it was very faint, a spot on the ground started to loosen slightly.
This loosened dark ground started to shake more and more violently, until it was like an earthquake.
Chen Luoyang calmly watched as the black ground in front of him split open. Then, a sapling grew out from within and shot into the sky. It quickly grew lush and tall, reaching as high as the sky.
The huge tree trunk was straight, its branches and leaves extended in all directions. Soon, it became so huge that it covered the sky. It was so huge that it was breathtaking.
Chen Luoyang looked up at this towering tree. He did not blindly approach it, but first focused his mind to feel it.
In the end, he discovered that this was the second talisman that had transformed into a giant tree.
It clearly looked like a bamboo scroll. I thought it would grow into a piece of bamboo … As Chen Luoyang complained in his heart, he stepped forward, raised his palm, and pressed it on the trunk of the giant tree. He further comprehended the concept within.
When the two of them came into contact, Chen Luoyang felt an exuberant vitality continuously flowing into his body from the tree trunk.
This feeling was different from the "Life" Heavenly Tome.
If it had to be said, the "Life" Heavenly Tome was completely objective and neutral. There was no bias, no standpoint or thought.
There was indeed an extremely strong vitality within it, but that was only because of the existence of the power itself. Therefore, there was no bias to speak of.
However, the vitality in this towering giant tree clearly revealed a will, or a sense of mission. That was to actively nourish and protect all living things, to benefit all living things, and to nurture all living things.
From this point of view, it was of the same origin as the aura of the talisman itself.
Chen Luoyang pondered over the concept in Silence. He began to understand it more and more.
However, with such a huge thing, I can't possibly carry a huge tree around with me in the future, can I?
As he thought of this, Chen Luoyang tried to further communicate with the second talisman.
The towering giant tree began to shake gently.
Its body shrunk, then grew bigger, then continued to shrink, then grew bigger again.
After repeating this a few times, the towering giant tree finally shrunk all the way until it gradually returned to the shape of a small sapling. It even continued to shrink until it finally shrunk back into the ground.
Chen Luoyang's finger lightly tapped on the ground.
Then the ground split open. The bamboo-shaped talisman reappeared in front of him.
Chen Luoyang waved his hand, and the "bamboo slip" fell back into his palm.
He began to try to deal with the "black mirror" like he had done before. His mind was slightly focused on the jade talisman that looked like a bamboo slip.
Chen Luoyang, who had already established a preliminary connection with the other party, seemed to have opened a new door in front of him.
Chen Luoyang stretched out his hand to push the door.
The first time, the door shook slightly, but did not open.
Chen Luoyang was not discouraged. He activated the power of the first talisman to help again.
Therefore, the second time, Chen Luoyang successfully pushed open the illusory door and entered it.
When his mind and consciousness entered the door, he could see that there was a huge space behind the door. It seemed to be vast and boundless.
And in this vast space, he saw the giant tree again.
Although the giant tree before him was illusory, he could still feel the strong vitality within it.
However, it was different from the giant tree he had seen before.
Chen Luoyang focused and looked carefully. He saw that there were clearly many balls of light hanging on the branches of the giant tree, like fruits.
He urged his mind and consciousness to come under the giant tree like a tangible human body. Then, he climbed up and came in front of one of the "fruits."
Chen Luoyang tried to touch this "fruit" but did not succeed.
The fruit-like ball of light was empty. There was nothing in it.
Chen Luoyang was surprised, so he tried other "fruits" but there was no reaction.
The balls of light were like lights, and did not seem to have any special function.
Chen Luoyang frowned slightly.
He retreated a little and went into the distance. Then, he turned back to look at the giant tree and slowly pondered.
A moment later, Chen Luoyang activated the power of the first talisman again.
"Earth" and "Wood" fused again.
The illusory world in front of him changed.
The dark land bore the weight of the towering trees.
The dark river flowed around the giant tree, like the legendary River of Forgetfulness.
Chen Luoyang came under the tree again. But this time, he did not try to climb. Instead, he sank down.
He sank into the soil.
He came to the roots of the giant tree.
With the Black Pot as a base, Chen Luoyang made a risky move.
He forcefully activated the power of the "Earth" talisman. With the help of the earth, he let his consciousness and consciousness try to merge into the roots of the giant tree.
Gradually, the scene in front of him changed again.
Chen Luoyang felt as if he had become one with the giant tree.
This part of his field of vision had obviously changed.
As if he had become a divine tree.
At this moment, he could feel that the lush branches and leaves of the divine tree extended in all directions in the sky. Like countless tentacles, they reached into the vast void.
In front of him, there seemed to be countless dots of light, flashing non-stop.
When Chen Luoyang saw this scene, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. He muttered in his heart.
After pondering for a while, Chen Luoyang did not act immediately. Instead, he first tried to retract this part of his consciousness and consciousness from the second talisman that looked like a "bamboo slip".
After trying and realizing that there was no effect, he once again merged his consciousness into the "bamboo slip" and merged with the giant tree.
Then, looking at the dots of light in front of him, he focused his consciousness on one of them.
Then, the other dots of light dimmed and disappeared. The dot that Chen Luoyang focused on suddenly became as bright as the sun.
This "sun", combined with a fruit-like ball of light on the divine tree.
Then, from the perspective of the divine tree, Chen Luoyang felt as if he was looking at the fruit on his body.
Inside that "fruit", there was a hazy figure.
Inside, there was a voice, "Where is this?"
Chen Luoyang looked at the "fruit" and the figure inside. For a moment, he was speechless.
His guess just now, was actually true.
This divine tree, was actually similar to the "left eye" in the black mirror.
In the real world, Chen Luoyang held his forehead with his palm.
Does this count as me having a second group?
