Chapter 168 The Spirit-Summoning Talisman is Completed! The Far West!
After the ceremony, Xiao Cuier took the initiative to come and pay her respects.
"Uncle Lin!"
She bowed respectfully, tears welling in her eyes, "If it weren't for your introduction back then, I'm afraid I would never have even reached the Foundation Establishment stage in my entire life. I will never forget your great kindness!"
Lin Chuan waved his hand.
"No need for formalities. Your success today is due to your own hard work."
Xiao Cuier shook her head and insisted:
"I will forever remember your kindness, Martial Uncle. If you ever need my help, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Lin Chuan smiled slightly and said nothing more.
……
Dongfuzhong.
Lin Chuan arranged a quiet room for Zi Ling so that she could cultivate in peace and recover her magical power.
He then went into another quiet room and began to refine a special kind of talisman—
A talisman for summoning spirits.
He obtained the method for crafting this talisman from the head of the Heavenly Talisman Sect in the Netherworld. Its main ingredient requires the essence of an eighth-level transformed demon.
He possessed the essence of seven transformed demons—all obtained from hunting them in the outer seas of the Chaotic Stars.
Lin Chuan sat cross-legged and took out a small dark green bottle from his storage bag.
The bottle cap was carefully opened—
"Pfft!"
A beam of red light shot out from the bottle at an astonishing speed!
That's the soul of an eighth-level tortoise demon!
Lin Chuan's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hand and grabbed at the air—a large hand shimmering with azure light materialized out of thin air and instantly scooped the ball of light into his hand!
The red light flowed continuously, and with a slight tremor of the five fingers, the ball of light revealed its true form in the red light—it was actually a phantom of a demonic turtle a few inches in size, spinning wildly in the palm of the hand, as if it wanted to fly away at any moment.
But the faint blue light around it trapped it firmly, like a bird in a cage.
Lin Chuan opened his mouth, and a wisp of azure infant fire shot out, striking directly onto a piece of spirit skin that had been prepared beforehand.
The infant fire enveloped the spirit skin, yet strangely, it did not ignite.
Lin Chuan formed hand seals, his ten fingers flicking rapidly as he unleashed one spell after another onto the spirit skin. At the same time, several fine strands of green hair shot out from his fingertips, striking the spirit skin.
The spirit skin stopped rotating and, guided by the green silk, began to sway erratically, sometimes slowly and sometimes rapidly.
Amidst the chanting of incantations, Lin Chuan continued performing the actions with an expressionless face.
Gradually, wisps of black mist appeared on the surface of the spirit skin amidst the flames. The moment those black mist came into contact with the infant fire, they vanished instantly, leaving a faint, fishy stench in the secret chamber.
As a result, the overall size of the spirit skin shrank by one unit.
Lin Chuan ignored this and continued refining.
More than an hour later, when the last wisp of black energy on the spirit skin was also refined, Lin Chuan relaxed and let out a long breath.
He added several more ingredients to the flame and refined it for a little while longer.
"puff!"
The flames died down, revealing the spirit skin beneath.
At this moment, the spirit skin had turned blood red and was only the size of a palm.
Lin Chuan's face showed satisfaction.
He looked up at the tortoise demon soul above his head, and without further hesitation, pointed a finger at it.
The azure light surrounding the demon turtle's soul paused, then dissipated into specks of spiritual light.
The beast soul seemed to be drawn by something, shooting directly towards the blood-red spirit skin—
With a "whoosh," it disappeared into the surface of the spirit skin and vanished without a trace.
The spirit summoning talisman is complete!
Lin Chuan examined the talisman in his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
When the Spirit Summoning Talisman is used, it can temporarily enhance the power of the sealed demon beast. With his current cultivation level, using this talisman will not only greatly increase his physique in a short period of time, but also enhance the tortoise demon's astonishing defense.
It's like adding wings to a tiger!
Most importantly, he didn't just collect the essence of one transformed demon, but seven.
For the next six months, Lin Chuan stayed at home and refined five or six spirit-summoning talismans in one go.
Each one seals the essence of a great demon in human form—turtle demon, dragon demon, roc demon, python demon… each with its own unique supernatural powers.
……
Six months later, Lin Chuan emerged from the quiet room.
Outside the cave, several communication talismans floated in the air.
With a casual wave of his hand, the sound transmission talismans fell into his palm.
A quick scan with his divine sense revealed a string of visiting cards from juniors—a Core Formation cultivator wishing to pay a visit, a Foundation Establishment disciple seeking guidance, a family wanting to offer gifts…
They were all trivial social engagements.
Lin Chuan casually crushed the communication talismans and ignored them.
He looked up towards the west.
Next, he was going to a place—
The far west.
The far west, to the west of the southern sky.
Although it is right next to Tiannan, to get there, one must first pass through the countries of the Righteous Alliance and cross a vast desert that stretches for countless miles.
That desert was rather strange. For some unknown reason, fierce hurricanes raged across its skies year after year. Cultivators wishing to traverse this desert could only do so on foot. Otherwise, they would exhaust their magical power before flying very far.
Therefore, although all factions in Tiannan knew of the existence of the far west, they felt that it was not large, only the size of two medium-sized countries in Tiannan, and that its resources were relatively scarce. In addition, it was separated from Tiannan by this desert, making travel inconvenient.
Therefore, neither the righteous nor the demonic paths, nor other sects, have ever had any designs on this place.
Therefore, neither the righteous nor the demonic paths, nor other sects, have ever had any designs on this place.
The entire far west has always been occupied by the Thousand Bamboo Sect.
In the original story, it took Han Li nearly a year to reach the far west with his Nascent Soul cultivation.
Lin Chuan was naturally unafraid of the sandstorm. He possessed ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, which could instantly restore his mana in critical moments. Of course, he wouldn't use such a spiritual item unless absolutely necessary. Normally, using some high-grade spirit stones to restore his mana was sufficient.
……
Flying all the way.
Six months later, he finally arrived at the far west.
The local customs and traditions here are somewhat different from those in Tiannan, but a large number of ordinary people still live here.
This vast region, equivalent to two medium-sized countries, is controlled by only one power—the Thousand Bamboo Sect.
Lin Chuan came here to find someone.
The Great Evolutionary God.
He wanted to obtain the subsequent techniques after the fourth level of the "Great Evolution Technique" from the Great Evolution Divine Lord.
He has cultivated the Great Evolution Technique for over a hundred years, benefiting immensely from it. His current level of spiritual power owes much to this technique.
However, he only possessed the first four levels. The subsequent techniques were only available to the Great Evolution Divine Lord himself.
The Great Evolution God, an unparalleled powerhouse from ten thousand years ago.
Back then, he cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage and even created the incredibly profound "Great Evolution Technique." This technique focuses on cultivating divine consciousness and possesses boundless power.
Once, the Great Evolution Divine Lord single-handedly defeated all the top experts of the righteous and demonic paths in the Tiannan region, forcing the major forces in Tiannan to cede the far west to him, thus enabling him to establish the Thousand Bamboo Sect.
At that time, he was incredibly successful and his power was immense.
However, the Great Derivation Decision was both its strength and its weakness.
The Great Evolution God was too obsessed with the way of puppets, spending most of his time perfecting the "Great Evolution Technique" and researching new puppets, which caused his cultivation to stagnate, his lifespan to be exhausted, and ultimately he failed to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
To outsiders, the Great Evolution Divine Lord had long since passed away. After all, the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is only a thousand years, and even a Deity Transformation cultivator only has two or three thousand years. How could someone from ten thousand years ago still be alive?
But Lin Chuan, the time traveler, knew this.
The Great Evolution God Lord used the "Soul Transfer Technique" to entrust his divine soul to a puppet body, thus prolonging his existence until now.
He is still alive.
