Chapter 476: Dragon Spring Purple Talisman Classic

The nineteenth sect leader of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, in terms of both talisman mastery and personal cultivation, surpassed all previous sect leaders. As a Great Power at the Late Stage of the Traveling Realm, he was a character who should have lived for a long time. However, he had not even completed a hundred years in his position and was already preparing for his final days since returning from the Moko Buddhist nation.

“I consider myself lucky to have returned to prepare for my final arrangements. It’s a pity that those old friends have turned to ash, without even a chance to return to the sect and say goodbye,” the nineteenth sect leader sat on the ritual altar, gazing gloomily at the sect. He sighed, “In the future, there will surely be a great calamity in the world. The Moko Buddhist nation has amassed immense merit, postponing the calamity, but they still cannot avoid destruction. The local sea creatures are suffering, and the Grand Xuan Dynasty has wisely imposed heavenly penalties to protect their territory. It seems that before the ancient Taichu Kingdom fell, they too were guarding against external threats!”

On this day, the nineteenth sect leader found himself at death’s door. Rarely, he had a dream in which a point of silver light approached him.

“Impossible! How could our sect dream?”

“Who? Who is it?” The nineteenth sect leader, even in his dreams, struggled to gauge the situation as his eyes glowed with runes that quickly extended into the void, forming two immense talisman formations that perceived all mysteries within a short time.

Li Hui was taken aback; he had clearly locked onto this time using the Extreme Huan Time Anchor to come and “flip through pages” in search of talisman methods. How could the other party seemingly sense him, a child of the future?

“Now I understand, it’s the Extreme Huan Time Anchor!” the nineteenth sect leader stroked his beard and said, “This Legal form is not simple. Even at the brink of death, I can encounter a future sect leader. Hahaha! How wonderful to reconnect with the lineage after many years through storms. Good lad, you even brought the Nine Maangs’ systems to the Wutu and introduced them to the Heavenly Talisman Sect! A feat I would never dare to attempt myself! Fortunately, just as the calamity began, those ruthless folks from the Nine Maangs didn’t pay you any mind.”

“Senior, you can see me and hear me?” Li Hui was utterly astonished.

“Foolish boy, remember this,” the nineteenth sect leader said earnestly, “Heaven and Earth are the reverse journey of all things! Time is the traveler across a hundred generations! I am ahead of you, and you are behind, but as you are flipping through time, a ripple has formed. Although I cannot reach your era or bring you here, we can still converse if the timing is right and I know your questions.”

“How… how is this possible? Could it be that someone can enter and exit time?”

“Yes, there should be individuals who can traverse time, but achieving that degree is extremely difficult. I’ve only heard of it by chance and have never witnessed it. Remember, using the Extreme Huan Time Anchor requires utmost caution. If someone dares to use the convenience of time to pry into past secrets within my era, I have many methods to erase them. Even if they are from a great distance away, I can leave behind measures to deal with them.”

The nineteenth sect leader mocked, “Speaking of which, the Extreme Huan Continent hides itself deeply and builds those Extreme Huan Time Anchors everywhere, obviously up to no good. They are trying to divert attention. There is great terror within the river of time, and the cultivators of the Extreme Huan Continent mastering time will require your utmost caution in the future; they are more troublesome than those from Nine Maangs.”

“Yes, I shall heed your teachings, Master!” Li Hui quickly responded; the wisdom of a senior was filled with hidden truths.

“The power of the Extreme Huan Time Anchor you are using is nearly exhausted. When I pass, I ask for nothing but to find a reliable successor for the talisman scriptures I painstakingly researched. I thought I would take it to the grave, but now fate has intervened in an unexpected manner, truly wonderful and beyond words!”

“Go! Dragon Spring Purple Talisman Classic.” The nineteenth sect leader said, “This classic nurtures the Dragon Spring and cultivates the Purple Talisman, enabling you to evolve and reflect upon all things at will. You will experience its wonders in time.”

The silver snake Legal form on Li Hui’s forehead flickered, and he felt a wave of purple scriptures filling his mind. He murmured, “To cultivate a Purple Talisman like raising a dragon? This talisman doesn’t manifest in the world but must be planted in the heart. If the Seize the Day Talisman is a Body Talisman, then this Purple Talisman is a Heart Talisman.”

A rumbling sound echoed, as if an invisible rope was dragging him, all light and shadow rapidly retreating, distancing him from the Heavenly Talisman Sect. When he regained his senses, he found that the green markings on the stone pillar and the glowing red vertical eye had completely vanished.

“Ah, Master, you’ve finally regained your consciousness! This stint took a full twelve hours,” Zhao Yuxi said, frowning.

“Oh? Has it been so long? Why did you remain so docile and not attempt to break free?” Li Hui shook his head, feeling puzzled. Knowing that this old ghost had always aimed to rebel, it was strange that he would sit quietly and wait!

“Haha, I’m just an honest ghost,” Zhao Yuxi said, even doubting his own words.

Li Hui quickly discovered the reason. As he refined his talisman methods, his spiritual sense grew with waves of power, constantly radiating pressure. The Dao Rhythm Residual Talisman had a chance to advance, seemingly peeling away the power of Yin and Yang, and the moment the old ghost moved, the dark energy would be drawn out, causing him to suffer as if under torture.

While he felt happy, he couldn’t help but have a moment of fear. “It’s fortunate I went to the Heavenly Talisman Sect; if I had dared to pry into the Jin Tian Sect, even with the title of an outer disciple and an accomplishment ranking on my command token, I fear the past sect leaders and elders of the highest order would have dealt with me harshly. Regardless, I made progress in talisman mastery; this wasn’t a wasted venture.”

“Master, has the battle outside ended? I don’t know how many of my subordinates have fallen.”

“Uncertain, let’s meditate for a while and then talk.”

Li Hui sat cross-legged, quickening the flow of time to comprehend the Dragon Spring Purple Talisman Classic. The more he read, the more astonished he became; he was in awe, “It’s so strong! It constructs a Dragon Spring with all talisman mastery, nurturing a Heart Talisman within, creating a talisman that is born from nothing. When this talisman is at the spirit talisman stage, it can stack power; one pattern doubles the strength, two patterns triple it, until Nine Patterns Three Exotics can achieve twelve times. The true terror lies in the fact that the Purple Talisman does not just stack power for the body but also for the attack power of the talismans in hand.”

“And this is just at the spirit talisman stage; if it reaches the treasure talisman stage, it will be even more powerful!”

“When the Purple Talisman gains the ability to reflect, one talisman in hand can act as two talismans. This means releasing the Bull Demon King Talisman will immediately create two Bull Demons. The second one will be weaker, but as the Purple Talisman grows, the second will become as strong as the first and could even evolve into a third or fourth.”

“Enhancing the Purple Talisman is incredibly difficult; if one truly manages to cultivate it to the Jade Symbol stage, it could potentially evolve and print upon all things with ease, reflecting anything seen or heard with just an intention, similar to the Nine-Colored Deer Talisman decree.”

“As for the Celestial Talisman stage of the Purple Talisman, it is too mysterious and unfathomable for now.”

As the purple scriptures fluctuated in his mind, Li Hui began constructing the Dragon Spring, weaving the textures according to various talisman methods, striving to draw the Dragon Spring in his heart.

To cultivate a Dragon Spring is extraordinarily difficult! So difficult!! So difficult!!! His first attempt only completed one and a half levels before collapsing, and the difficulty grew with each subsequent attempt, needing to finish all at once without interruption. A conservative estimate suggests that attempting three thousand times to navigate this path would be quite fast, requiring massive amounts of energy and time, which he simply could not afford right now.

“Let’s go, it’s time to leave this mysterious place.” Li Hui decided to depart, his form having changed significantly since he entered, as he walked, lightly shimmering with cloud patterns, drifting without a trace…
