When Ling Dong first saw Bai Han's father, Bai Bai Xuan, he had a brief moment of doubt. This was because Bai Bai Xuan's face was really too old.
Although his prestige was very high, he was simply too old compared to those old men who were thousands of years old. It had to be known that even in the Long Safe Territory, those who had reached the Celestial Monarch Realm, no matter how talented they were or how powerful they were, would have at least five to six hundred years old. Most of them were over a thousand years old.
For example, the group of Celestial Venerates behind Old Hai and Bai Han. Although they were over a thousand years old, their faces were glowing. Even if they weren't glowing, they were still brimming with vitality and vigor. At most, some of them had shiny white hair.
However, Bai Han's father was too old. His hair was grey and lusterless, and the wrinkles on his face were like deep ravines washed out by rain.
To put it bluntly, Bai Han's father was like a dying man, an old man who was not far from his last breath.
This was what Ling Dong found strange. Martial artists seized the essence of heaven and earth and cultivated their bodies. Even if they reached the end of their lifespan, their skin would still be filled with energy because of the support of the essence of heaven and earth in their bodies.
Only at the moment of death would the world's essence dissipate, and Bai Bai Xuan would look as old as he did now. It could be said that if an ordinary cultivator appeared like Bai Bai Xuan, it meant that they had already stepped on the road to death.
However, the strange thing was that Bai Bai Xuan's cultivation was like a mountain and the sea. In terms of Spirit, he gave Ling Dong an extreme pressure. If Ling Dong did not have the support of the Star Master Plate, he might not be able to speak so freely.
"His Spirit cultivation is at the peak of the Purple Soul Realm?" With this discovery, Ling Dong couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. This was the third person besides the Vermilion Bird Ancestor and the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch Chi Mei who could give him pressure on his Spirit without showing any hostility.
"But these eyes …" Ling Dong was puzzled when he saw Bai Bai Xuan's eyes.
The eyes were the soul of the spirit. If a person's eyes were as deep as the sea and shone brightly, then this person's spirit cultivation must be very strong. Bai Bai Xuan's eyes might be as deep as the sea but they were unexpectedly turbid.
"The damage to Island Master Bai's soul?" Seeing this, Ling Dong thought of the Bodhi Light Trees that filled the island and subconsciously blurted out these words.
Old Hai and Bai Han were already used to Ling Dong's awesomeness. However, Island Master Bai's eyes suddenly shone with a strange light. "Young Master Ling's eyesight is truly extraordinary."
By the time Ling Dong finished speaking, Bai Han had already knelt down and kowtowed to Ling Dong with a sorrowful expression. "Big Brother Ling, my father's time is coming to an end. Please allow my father to enter the Secret Palace to cultivate so that he can break through the Zhou Tian Righteous God realm as soon as possible and extend his life. As for my Bai Family, including the entire Liao Province … "
"Brother Bai, what are you doing? Quickly get up …" When Bai Han knelt down in front of Ling Dong, Ling Dong hurriedly helped him up. Ling Dong also understood Bai Han's words.
What really surprised Ling Dong was that Bai Han was actually willing to kneel down in front of him for his father. It had to be known that in terms of cultivation, Bai Han was an existence of the same generation as him. Just this loyalty was enough to make Ling Dong admire him.
Moreover, Ling Dong had always believed that those who were filial to their parents were never evil people. Ling Dong had always liked him.
"Sigh, silly child … Why are you doing this …" Seeing his son kneel down in front of Ling Dong for him, tears faintly flashed in Bai Bai Xuan's turbid eyes. Then he sighed. "Even if I break through to the Zhou Tian Righteous God realm, I can only extend my life by 300 years. For my generation, what is the use of 300 years more? "
Bai Han stubbornly said, "Being able to accompany father for one more day is my blessing!" In the end, Bai Han said to Ling Dong, "Brother Ling, please promise this little brother that you will be an ox and a horse …"
"Shut up!" Bai Han was about to say something when Ling Dong suddenly shouted, shocking Bai Han and Old Hai.
"Bai Han, what do you think I, Ling Dong, am? If you don't agree, why would I come to Liao Province? "
Seeing Bai Han's happy expression, Ling Dong sat down again and asked Bai Bai Xuan, "Island Master Bai, you just said that you can only extend your life by 300 years after breaking through to the Zhou Tian Righteous God realm? Why is that? As far as I know, as long as you break through to the Zhou Tian Shen realm, you can extend your life by at least a thousand years. If you can use this to cultivate a large number of people dao deities, you can even obtain immortality. How can it only be 300 years? "
"Sigh, Young Master Ling, you don't know. This is related to the technique I cultivate." Bai Bai Xuan sighed softly.
"Cultivation technique?" Ling Dong was puzzled. Then he asked, "Talismans?" Ling Dong vaguely remembered that Bai Han said that his father was proficient in ancient talismans.
In the end, Ling Dong was puzzled again. "Island Master Bai, although the talisman technique is indispensable, it is a minor auxiliary Dao. How can it be cultivated as a Dao?"
"Minor Dao?" Bai Bai Xuan snorted coldly. He tilted his body slightly and formed a sword with his fingers. It was as fast as flying. He stopped in an instant and shouted, "Ha!"
Almost the moment Bai Bai Xuan shouted, there was a sudden rumble of thunder in the sky. Black lightning suddenly struck down from the void toward the people on the island.
Ling Dong was shocked and wanted to resist, but Old Hai pressed down on his shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to worry. Bai Bai Xuan formed a strange seal and drew a few lines in the void. A strange fluctuation spread out and a chill appeared above their heads. A pitch-black void crack suddenly appeared out of thin air. The black lightning coincidentally struck the void crack at this time and the terrifying lightning disappeared instantly.
Looking at this miraculous skill, Ling Dong stood there in shock for a long time. In particular, the rolling pressure brought by the rolling thunder and the majestic fluctuations of the world's origin energy represented the astonishing power of this attack.
Ling Dong estimated that his pseudo Five Elements Thick Earth Flag might be able to withstand it. His Mystic Universe Godly Body might be able to withstand it for a while. However, it would only last for a few breaths of time before it would be struck by lightning and immobilized, losing its ability to fight.
"How is it? This is a minor Dao? "Bai Bai Xuan's dissatisfied voice sounded.
Ling Dong turned around in shock. "Dare I ask Island Master Bai, is this the legendary Void Finger Talisman?" Ling Dong wasn't angry at Bai Bai Xuan's behavior. The things a person worked hard for their whole life couldn't be underestimated.
"Oh, Young Master Ling's knowledge is very wide. Yes, this is indeed the Void Finger Talisman. " Seeing Ling Dong's shocked expression, Bai Bai Xuan was quite proud. Then he sighed. "This old man's success and failure in this life are due to talismans. Ah, let's not talk about it …"
Ling Dong thought to himself that he had truly broadened his horizons today. In the past, he had occasionally heard of a type of talisman called the Void Finger Talisman, and its might was unparalleled. However, this was the first time Ling Dong had seen the Void Finger Talisman in his many star realms.
"What is this? Island Master Bai, please explain." Ling Dong said.
"In fact, this mainly starts from the roots of the talisman sect. This is also the reason why the talisman technique is declining …" Bai Bai Xuan sighed and told Ling Dong the reason.
This talisman sect was extremely prosperous thousands of years ago. It was one of the three major sects in the world along with alchemy and astral cultivation. At that time, alchemy and talisman had the same status as astral cultivation. It wasn't like today, where it only had a secondary status.
However, as the older heavenly treasures became scarcer and the alchemy declined, the talisman sect also faced an unprecedented crisis.
This was because the talisman sect mainly relied on the essence of the world and even the laws of heaven and earth to act. It consumed a lot of Spirit power. Sometimes, when cultivating talismans, it would attract the backlash of the world's essence and even the laws of heaven and earth, causing the Spirit to be seriously injured.
Before alchemy, there were two miraculous pills called the Small and Small Phantom Soul Cleansing Pill. They could treat Spirit damage. The two pills had the same effect, but their effects were different.
However, after alchemy declined, the heavenly treasures used to refine the miraculous pills became rarer and rarer. Even if they could be found, the pill recipes for the Small and Large Phantom Soul Cleansing Pill were mostly lost. Even if there were pill masters who passed down the recipe, they had never refined it. The success rate of refining the pill was less than 10%.
With the disappearance of the pills used to treat Spirit injuries of cultivators who specialized in talisman, more and more talisman cultivators couldn't treat their Spirit due to the backlash and lost their talisman ability.
Then again, although talismans consumed a lot of Spirit power, their offensive and defensive abilities could be called abnormal. They only used the essence of the world or the laws of heaven and earth to attack and defend. The consumption of Spirit power was minimal.
In battle, they could often fight against several people and not be at a disadvantage. Bai Bai Xuan relied on this ability to protect the land of Liao Province. No one dared to touch it.
According to Old Hai, Bai Bai Xuan's most powerful battle record was when he fought against four half-step Zhou Tian gods by himself. In the end, he killed one of them and seriously injured the other three.
When Ling Dong first heard about this battle record, he was amazed. According to what Ling Dong said to Mountain God Yin Kang in his Sea of Consciousness, "F * ck his uncle, this battle record is stronger than the current Vermillion Bird Little Four."
"This is nothing. Ling Dong, when you fight a real battle to the death with a talisman cultivator, you will find out how terrifying they are …" Mountain God Yin Kang surprisingly didn't mention talismans or Ling Dong. Instead, he said this.
Because of the irreversible damage to their Spirit, more and more people gradually gave up on talisman cultivation and focused on cultivating aura energy. This was the reason why martial cultivation flourished. As for Bai Han, she was a freak born under such circumstances.
Talisman cultivators focused on cultivating the Spirit. Bai Han's father passed down a brilliant Spirit cultivation technique to him, which was why he had his current Spirit cultivation. However, this talisman cultivation technique wasn't passed down to him because of this.
For example, the biggest reason for Bai Bai Xuan's lifespan crisis was that his Spirit was too damaged. Although his Spirit was very powerful, his Spirit source was like a lamp that had run out of oil.
Bai Bai Xuan's Spirit source was like a porcelain jar full of water with thousands of cracks on its surface. It could break at any time.
Under normal circumstances, a Half-step Universe Righteous God would have a lifespan of at least 1,600 to 1,700 years, depending on the cultivation technique they cultivated. Some could even have a lifespan of over 2,000 years.
However, according to Old Hai, Bai Bai Xuan was less than 1,300 years old and was in the prime of his life among the half-step Zhou Tian gods. However, the truth was that Bai Han's father, Bai Bai Xuan, didn't even have seven to eight years of lifespan left, let alone ten years of lifespan.
"Old Hai, Brother Bai, I understand Island Master Bai's situation. My Secret Palace can allow Island Master Bai to enter secluded cultivation in order to break through to Zhou Tianshen Envoy. "Bai Han and Old Hai showed joy at the same time.
"However, according to what Ling knows, Island Master Bai's situation is much more difficult than imagined. Even if Island Master Bai can break through to Zhou Tianshen Envoy, the injury to his Spirit source will only be slightly improved. Let alone 300 years of lifespan, I'm afraid he won't even have a lifespan of 100 years.
Moreover, when Island Master Bai's Spirit source breaks through to Zhou Tian god, he won't be able to withstand the cleansing of the laws of heaven and earth and will die on the spot! Island Master Bai, don't you think so? "
Thinking of this, Ling Dong, who had already made a fuss, said. Truthfully speaking, Ling Dong was very interested in the Void Finger Technique.
Ling Dong's words were like an earth-shattering shock. Bai Bai Xuan was stunned on the spot. Bai Han's knees went soft and he directly knelt in front of Bai Bai Xuan. (To be continued.
