Chapter 344: Chapter 284: Taking Over the Golden Talisman Sect, Talisman Text Origin

”This young man’s cultivation is already enough to rival a Divinity Transformation expert—we’re powerless to stop him!”

Jiang Yuyan let out a heavy sigh. Who could’ve imagined that their entire Demon Evil Sea faction would end up meeting their end at the hands of this young man, Lin Chang’sheng.

If only they’d paid more attention to him from the beginning, they never should have allowed him to rise.

”It’s over. There’s no day for our Demon Dao to see the light again!”

Nie Buping looked up to the sky and let out a long, sorrowful sigh.

He once thought that after Jiang Yuyan and the others obtained the chance at the Sea God Tower, they’d greatly advance their cultivation, kill Lin Chang’sheng and Su Changkong, and unify the Southern Realm. Unexpectedly, all hope shattered in the end.

Outside the space of the Myriad Soul Banner, Lin Chang’sheng didn’t care what they were thinking.

After killing Jiang Yuyan, he gathered her corpse and storage bag, along with Fu Junyue’s and the other Demon Dao members’ storage bags, not missing a single one.

The treasures these people possessed must be quite a haul.

He could examine them closely after returning.

”Sect Leader Zhao, hang in there!”

Lin Chang’sheng made his way to Zhao Cheng’s side, seeing him vomiting blood and pale as a ghost. He immediately channeled his magical power into Zhao Cheng’s body to temporarily stabilize his injuries.

Zhao Cheng’s body was grievously wounded; from the start he’d been terribly injured by Jiang Yuyan, then, after she used her secret technique to break into the Divinity Transformation Realm, he was struck by the aftermath.

Now he was on his last legs, with just a single breath left in him.

”N-No... it’s not necessary. I can’t hold out much longer!”

Zhao Cheng grasped Lin Chang’sheng’s hand, his mouth overflowing with blood. He opened his right palm, revealing a palm-sized golden tablet.

On it, numerous Brahma divine patterns flickered and danced.

”Th-this item... it is the original Talisman Text, handed down by generations of the Golden Talisman Sect. I... I’m passing it on to you. I hope you can take over our Golden Talisman Sect. Then, I... will have no regrets in death—”

Zhao Cheng spoke word by word, as if each sentence consumed every ounce of his strength.

Since Zhao Cheng said this, how could Lin Chang’sheng possibly refuse?

Otherwise, even in death Zhao Cheng wouldn’t rest easy.

Though Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t interacted much with Zhao Cheng, back in the Great Yu Imperial City, when Su Changkong wanted to take his life, the sect leaders all helped Lin Chang’sheng, making Su Changkong hesitant to strike.

This favor, Lin Chang’sheng had to return.

”Sect Leader Zhao, rest assured. I promise you—one day, I’ll make the Golden Talisman Sect flourish!”

Lin Chang’sheng pledged.

Hearing Lin Chang’sheng’s promise, a faint smile rose at Zhao Cheng’s lips.

”Th-Then, I can let it go now... pfft—”

As his words fell, Zhao Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his hands and head drooping as he passed away.

Witnessing Zhao Cheng’s death, Lin Chang’sheng felt a pang of sorrow.

These figures, legends comparable to Mt. Tai and the North Star in the Southern Realm, had perished two in a single day.

But now wasn’t the time for grief—Su Changkong was still alive, a massive threat.

Lin Chang’sheng stored Zhao Cheng’s body and Nascent Soul, and hurried toward the Fierce Sun Dao Sect. Along the way, he indeed discovered that the Fierce Sun Dao Venerable and several Yin Yang Dao Sect elders had perished.

He had to personally return their bodies to the respective sects for burial.

After handling Fierce Sun Dao Venerable’s affairs, Lin Chang’sheng made his way to the Golden Talisman Sect.

By the time Lin Chang’sheng arrived at the Golden Talisman Sect, five days had already passed. Elder Chen and many disciples anxiously awaited his arrival.

”Elder Lin, did you see Sect Leader Zhao?”

Though Elder Chen already knew Zhao Cheng’s fate was grim, he still held on to a sliver of hope.

He hoped Zhao Cheng could beat the odds.

But when Lin Chang’sheng revealed Zhao Cheng’s corpse and Nascent Soul, Elder Chen and all the disciples realized that Zhao Cheng had indeed died.

”Master!”

”Sect Leader!”

The Golden Talisman Sect sank into deep mourning.

”Elder Chen, though this body has perished, my Nascent Soul remains. From now on, Lin Chang’sheng will lead our Golden Talisman Sect. I hope you’ll support him well, and help our sect thrive!”

Zhao Cheng’s Nascent Soul spoke.

The Nascent Soul is the vessel of a cultivator’s divine soul; as long as a suitable host body is found, he could seize it and be reborn.

So perhaps one day, Zhao Cheng might return to the Golden Talisman Sect under a new identity.

”I’ll strictly follow the Sect Leader’s orders!”

Elder Chen said respectfully, ”Sect Leader, you asked me to investigate the Transmission Talisman incident—it’s been tracked down. It was Outer Sect Elder Gao Jin who gave Li Jiantang two Transmission Talismans, allowing Zhao Fuhu and Zhuge Buping to escape.”

Elder Chen recounted what he’d found out after returning to the sect.

”Where did they escape to?”

Lin Chang’sheng asked curiously, wanting to know where those two had fled.

”To the Yin Yang Dao Sect!”

Elder Chen replied.

This took Lin Chang’sheng by surprise—when he’d returned Fierce Sun Dao Venerable’s remains to the Yin Yang Dao Sect, he hadn’t noticed a thing.

Who would’ve thought the two were hiding right under his nose?

But those two little ants couldn’t stir up much trouble; after he comprehended the Golden Talisman Origin, he’d find them.

”Very well.”

Lin Chang’sheng responded.

After that, everyone welcomed Zhao Cheng’s body back to the sect, held a ceremony, and interred him in the mausoleum of previous sect leaders.

Lin Chang’sheng then entered the sect’s closed-door chamber to comprehend the Origin of the Talisman Text.

The mysteries within the Talisman Text Origin struck Lin Chang’sheng as incredibly profound.

The power of the runes inside was vast, but what interested Lin Chang’sheng most was the Teleportation Technique.

If he could master it, travel would be so much easier in the future.

As long as arrays were inscribed at two locations, he could teleport between them.

This profound Space Secret Technique had never been truly comprehended by any previous Sect Leader of the Golden Talisman Sect.

They could only create some Transmission Talismans, and even those were single-use expendables.

Lin Chang’sheng originally thought this closed-door session would last only a few days before he grasped it.

But unexpectedly, after more than two months of enlightenment, he hadn’t even reached the entry level.

Plenty happened in those two months.

First, two Great Immortal Sect Leaders fell, causing great upheaval throughout the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm.

Next, the Fiery Sun Scripture of the Yin Yang Dao Sect was stolen, shocking the entire sect. Over half the disciples were dispatched to recover it.

The Fiery Sun Scripture was the sect’s supreme treasure, crucial to the Yin Yang Dao Sect.

Just as the Talisman Text Origin was vital to the Golden Talisman Sect—only sect leaders could possess it.

After that, the bizarre abyss in Mu City began absorbing all the nearby spiritual energy and living creatures on a massive scale.

Within ten miles, any living creature that approached would instantly perish.

This led countless cultivators to speculate: was an enormous evil entity hiding within the abyss?

While Lin Chang’sheng was comprehending the Talisman Text Origin, five thousand miles from the Liuyun Immortal Sect, above a mountain cliff’s cave—

Streaks of lightning flashed across the heavens, gathering thick black clouds.

Such a miraculous sign drew countless cultivators to witness the spectacle.

”Isn’t this... could it be a celestial tribulation?”

A cultivator widened his eyes, not daring to believe.

After all, in the Immortal Relic Land, it had been many years since a Celestial Tribulation appeared.

Whenever a Celestial Tribulation arose, it signaled that a Divinity Transformation Stage expert was about to be born.
