The subject of combining talismans and Dao patterns was not created by the Martial Emperor of Gu Mu. In fact, he was only a successor.
This subject had existed since the prehistoric era, which was before the recorded history of mankind.
Fifty million years ago, humans discovered twelve stone steles in a prehistoric site that recorded talismans and Dao patterns.
These twelve stone tablets were the origin of mankind's civilization. They were called the Twelve Tablets of the Heavenly Dao!
These twelve stone steles were absolutely different from the stone steles that ordinary people imagined.
According to the records, each of these twelve stone tablets was hundreds of feet tall. The words on them were extremely small.
Each stone tablet could print thousands of books. There were a total of twelve stone tablets, and a total of twelve thousand books were printed.
Mankind's Array Dao and Weapon Refining Dao originated from the records on these twelve stone tablets.
At that time, mankind was divided into three major factions.
The first faction chose to study Array Dao and specialized in talismans.
The second faction chose to study Dao patterns and specialized in Dao patterns.
The third faction studied both at the same time and specialized in talismans.
The talismans of talismans referred to talismans, while the talismans of talismans referred to Dao patterns.
There was no need to say anything about the following outcome. The first two had quickly achieved great success because they specialized in a single field, whereas, that portion of the members of the Talisman Faction were utterly unable to attain a high level of cultivation in their limited lifespans.
With the passage of time, the formation talismans and Dao patterns were constantly being developed and improved. Talisman patterns were gradually eliminated.
However, there were always people who were persistent. The talisman faction persisted until the end.
Unfortunately, this kind of persistence ended in failure in the end.
Thirty thousand years ago, the last legacy of talisman patterns was finally cut off at the hands of the Martial Emperor of Gu Mu.
Chu Xingyun gently closed the last book and let out a long sigh. He did not speak for a long time.
The theory of talisman patterns was absolutely correct. The reason why he had failed was because he had made two low-level mistakes.
First, he had chosen the wrong time to cultivate.
If he had become the Martial Emperor and had an unlimited lifespan, he would have been able to develop talisman patterns by now.
If one were to cultivate both the Array Dao and Dao Pattern from the beginning, one would not be able to reach a high realm in their limited lifespan.
If he learned too many things, his cultivation would be incomparably slow. It would be difficult for him to become a Martial Emperor, let alone an Emperor.
Secondly, the direction of the runes was wrong. This shouldn't be a cultivation technique, but a law of creation.
If cultivation and knowledge were separated, then the Emperor wouldn't have failed.
Chu Xingyun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at more than twenty large bookshelves filled with more than twenty-three thousand books.
These 20,000 plus books were the crystallization of over 50 million years of wisdom in the Dao of Talismans, and their value was completely immeasurable.
What made Chu Xingyun the most excited was that there were a total of 12,000 rubbings among these books.
That's right, these twelve thousand books were the original copies of the twelve stone steles. Their value was simply too high. Even if they were to be sold as cultural relics, they would definitely be priceless.
However, Chu Xingyun certainly wouldn't sell them.
Although he had already memorized them, what was in his mind couldn't be passed down to future generations. These precious materials originated from the beginning of human civilization, and were most suitable as family heirlooms.
After digesting and absorbing all the knowledge, the next step was to think and organize, and transform the knowledge into productivity.
At this moment, Bai Bing had already purchased a large amount of materials.
These materials were all cheap and ordinary materials suitable for making arrows.
In addition to the materials, she had also collected samples of various arrows used by the army.
After putting all the materials into the Samsara Space, Chu Xingyun began to experiment.
Arrows were divided into three parts: the arrowhead, the arrow shaft, and the arrow feather.
After repeated tests, the arrows used by the army were basically made of ordinary materials and were very stable.
Among them, the arrowhead was made of fine iron, the arrow shaft was made of arrowwood, and the arrow feather was made of goose feathers.
The overall cost of the arrows wasn't high, and they were all made of ordinary materials.
Because the consumption was too large, the cost had been reduced to the limit.
It was almost impossible to reduce the cost. If he forced himself to do it, he would definitely reduce the performance of the arrows.
In the Qiankun World, the war between humans and the Monster Race and Demon Race had been going on for tens of thousands of years.
And arrows were the most important strategic resource in the war against the Monster Race.
Therefore, by now, the production of arrows was already very mature, and it was extremely difficult to change it.
Regardless of the material of the arrowhead, the size of the arrow shaft, the length and angle of the arrow feather, they had all been thoroughly tempered and were almost perfect.
Since the arrows were already perfect, Chu Xingyun gave up on changing the materials and modifying the arrows. Instead, he directly started from the Dao of Runes to increase the power of the arrows.
Until now, Chu Xingyun's mastery of the Dao of Runes was still very shallow.
Although he knew what he needed to know, knowing and doing were two different things.
Casually taking a military arrow, Chu Xingyun took out a carving knife and started to carve on the arrow.
The carving knife quickly made three turns, instantly outlining a Sharp Metal Formation.
The Sharp Metal Formation could stimulate the sharpness of metal, making the arrowhead sharper, more incisive, and more penetrative.
Next, Chu Xingyun's carving knife went all the way down, carving a Swift Wind Formation on the arrow shaft.
The Swift Wind Formation could stimulate the power of the Swift Wind to push the arrow forward, making it fly faster and farther. Naturally, the impact and penetrative power of the arrow would be stronger.
Finally, the carving knife came to the end of the arrow, which was the position of the arrow feather.
The carving knife in his hand made three turns, and a Whirlwind Formation was formed in one go.
The Whirlwind Formation could stimulate a whirlwind, making the entire arrow spin at high speed. Not only did it increase the stability of the arrow, but it also greatly increased its penetrative power.
Sharp Metal Formation, Swift Wind Formation, and Whirlwind Formation. Under the superposition of these three basic formations, the arrow was no longer an ordinary item.
Although it couldn't be considered a King Item, it was definitely a treasure on the level of a Precious Item.
After the arrow was made, the next step was to test its performance.
In order to avoid any special features, Chu Xingyun made 100 Precious Item arrows in a row, and then stopped.
After leaving the Samsara Space, Chu Xingyun called Bai Bing, took the longbow, and began to test.
The first test was the ordinary arrow.
Under Chu Xingyun's gaze, Bai Bing pulled the bow and shot the arrow toward the target.
Whoosh … Toot!
An arrow shadow flashed, and about two seconds later, a muffled sound came from the distant target.
After recording the flying time of the arrow, Bai Bing picked up the arrow that Chu Xingyun had just made and put it on the longbow.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Bing pulled the bow again and aimed the arrow at the distant target.
Whoosh … Toot!
In the whistling sound, the arrow turned into a black light and went straight to the distant target.
Turning her head in surprise, Bai Bing said blankly, "The speed seems to be the same! It's even … slower than the previous one by a few tenths of a second. "
Looking at Bai Bing's blank look, Chu Xingyun looked helpless.
