Half a month later, in a pavilion halfway up the mountain on a green spiritual peak surrounded by clouds.
Perfected Yun Ya looked at Shen Ping in front of the jade table, who created the Mountain Talisman Diagram smoothly, with a hint of admiration on his refined and easy-going face.
“The speed at which Talisman Master Shen cultivates and comprehends the Green Talisman Sutra is really amazing. In just a few months, you have completely grasped the third volume. Next, as long as you study and comprehend the fourth volume, you can start to comprehend the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture.
“At this speed, I believe it won’t be difficult to master the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram in ten years.”
Shen Ping put away the talisman brush and said humbly, “It’s all thanks to Senior Yun Ya’s guidance and the Green Talisman Handbook that I can achieve this speed.” Then, he shook his head gently. “Unfortunately, if there was no calamity, this speed would not be considered slow. However, now that the calamity has descended, I’m afraid it’s difficult to bring my wife, concubine, and Dao companions to the headquarters with just the second volume of Talisman Beast Diagram. Thinking about it carefully, I can’t help but blame myself. In the end, I’m still not strong enough.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Perfected Yun Ya and asked after a moment of hesitation, “Senior Yun Ya, is there a better way to speed up the progress of your comprehension?”
Perfected Yun Ya frowned slightly when he heard that. “Talisman Master Shen, shortcuts are a taboo for cultivation. You can’t afford to be impatient at all. Your current cultivation speed of the scripture is already very fast. If it increases, it’s inevitable that the comprehension will only be superficial and it’ll be difficult for you to truly comprehend the essence of the scripture.
“I understand your eagerness to protect your wife, concubine and Dao companions, but the Dao of Talismans needs to be studied step by step. You can’t be greedy for the moment. If you’re willing to listen to my teachings, temporarily put aside your cultivation of the fourth volume of the Green Talisman Sutra for the next half a year and revise the first three volumes again. When you reach the level of completely mastering them, you can focus on studying the subsequent sutras.”
Shen Ping almost subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw Perfected Yun Ya’s serious gaze, his expression fell into hesitation and he struggled internally. After all, time was precious.
Especially in his current situation, he had to focus on cultivating the scripture every two hours and strive to comprehend and master the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram as soon as possible. Only then could he continue to go to the trial space and advance towards the Glory Ranking.
But even so, the second volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram and the Sea of Talisman were unlikely to reach the top ten of the Glory Ranking. Therefore, he was anxious and worried.
This was different from Cloud Mountain Parlour.
At that time, with the many preparations of the True Treasure Pavilion and Spring Garden, he could see the hope of leaving safely and had some confidence in his heart. However, Shen Ping did not have any confidence now. Although he appeared rather confident in front of Pei Huoyu, he knew very well that it was almost impossible to make it to the top ten of the Glory Ranking.
Perfected Yun Ya did not continue. He could tell that Shen Ping was a little impatient these days. After understanding the situation through Pei Huoyu, that was why he had this suggestion. Revising the Green Talisman Sutra was not the key. The most important thing was to accumulate during this process. Only then could the other party walk further on the Dao of Talismans.
Otherwise, if he allowed it to continue, even if he could make rapid progress in the Talisman Scripture, it would only be drinking poison to quench his thirst. In the future, he would definitely suffer a backlash.
As a Nascent Soul Perfected who was close to being a Talisman Grandmaster, he had seen too many Talisman Masters who were greedy for speed and stopped in their tracks. In the end, they were filled with regret.
And Shen Ping’s Talisman Dao talent was so monstrous. If it was destroyed because of this, it would really be a pity.
Outside the pavilion, while Shen Ping was hesitating, Li Yin was also persuading Pei Huoyu. “Junior Sister, Talisman Master Shen has only comprehended the first volume of the Talisman Beast Diagram and is already firmly at the top of the Hidden Dragon Rankings. His talent and methods in the Talisman Dao are the most monstrous I’ve ever seen. Even Master will occasionally praise him. How can such a Talisman Dao genius be in danger because of a few Dao companions?!”
Pei Huoyu’s valiant face was very calm. She said calmly, “Senior Brother, there are still ten years. There’s no hurry.”
Li Yin gritted his teeth speechlessly and said, “Junior Sister, why don’t you understand what I mean? The key is these ten years. The key is his choice. This time, if he stays in the Linhai Immortal City, then ten years later, he will still make the same choice!”
Pei Huoyu looked at Shen Ping, who was wearing a beautiful robe in the pavilion, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips. “That’s why he wants to break through to the Glory Ranking and become the core of the main hall!”
The corner of Li Yin’s mouth twitched as he said earnestly, “Junior Sister, do you think that’s possible?!”
“Back then, he was ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Senior Brother, do you think that’s possible?” Pei Huoyu asked softly.
Li Yin shook his head. “The top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking can’t be compared to the top ten of the Glory Ranking at all. If Talisman Master Shen was given a hundred years, 1 believe he would have this possibility. However, ten years… is too short. Even if he completely comprehend the true five volumes of the beast form, it would be extremely difficult for him to be ranked in the top ten!
“Junior Sister, you should know better than me how strong the core members at the top of the Glory Ranking are. Back then, when you had just cultivated a powerful divine power, Master specially invited a B-rank core member to spar with you. In the end, that battle…”
Li Yin did not continue. However, Pei Huoyu smiled and said, “The other party only used the first scroll of the beast skin and I was defeated. I was completely defeated and could not resist at all. And that member is currently ranked 50th on the Glory Ranking.”
Li Yin could not help but sigh. “B-rank cores are already so powerful, and the top ten are all A-rank cores. All of them have been at the Nascent Soul Realm for nearly a thousand years. Even the core at the tenth place has studied and cultivated to the first volume of the beast bone. As long as they comprehend the beast bone, these cores can comprehend a trace of the beast form on the five volumes..”
