Chapter 182: This Is Not My Limit

Li Yin was also stunned. Among all the members in the hall, he was the only Nascent Soul cultivator who knew about Shen Ping’s situation. It was precisely because of this that he felt even more incredulous.

After all, returning to second place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking meant that Shen Ping had definitely passed the second level of the assessment space. However, the problem was that Shen Ping had only mastered the first volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture!

And Talisman Master Jing Yu of Mountain Fire Hall had already grasped the second volume. There was such a huge difference. In the end, Shen Ping was even more monstrous than Jing Yu.

What did this mean?

Li Yin returned to his senses and stared fixedly at the ranking of the Hidden Dragon Ranking. It was only at this moment that he truly understood the meaning of the 100,000 contribution points.

So what if his comprehension of the Talisman Scripture was slow? Talisman Master Shen had already proven his Talisman Dao talent in the trial assessment now!

Second on the Hidden Dragon Rankings!

Even if his ranking fell in the future, with the strength he revealed in the Dao of Talismans in the future, he would definitely be able to return with glory and even reach the top.

Thinking of this, Li Yin could no longer suppress the excitement on his face. He quickly walked out of the hall. He took out his identity jade token and sent a message to Pei Huoyu.

Yongyang Market.

In the quiet room, Pei Huoyu was sitting cross-legged with her identity jade token floating in front of her.

Buzz, buzz.

The jade token had just vibrated when her divine sense immediately permeated and listened. The content of the message was very simple: Junior Sister, Talisman Master Shen is already ranked second on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!

However, this was all he said.

Pei Huoyu listened to it dozens of times. When her divine sense retreated, her valiant face carried a hint of moving waves.

Before the trial assessment, be it her, her senior brother Li Yin, or Perfected Yun Ya, although they all felt that with Shen Ping’s speed of comprehension of the Talisman Scripture, he would definitely be able to enter the Hidden Dragon Rankings before going to the headquarters to review and evaluate, it was very difficult for him to break through at this stage.

This was because among the core members in the past 100 years, there were as many as 30 new core members at the A and B levels. As for those who could advance to Class B, they had to master the second scroll of the Talisman Beast Scripture at the very least.

There are five batches of members in the hundred years. The closer one was to the front, the longer the cultivation time.

They naturally had a deeper understanding of the Talisman Beast Scripture. Even some of the older generation members of the C-level core had mastered the second volume. However, they had yet to meet the other conditions, so they could not advance.

Therefore, from the comprehension of the talisman scripture, Shen Ping did not have the slightest advantage.

But now, Pei Huoyu did not expect Shen Ping to have such a high ranking to the assessment. It was obvious. He had other unimaginable Talisman Dao techniques on him.

“The participants in the past were ranked in the top 30… So this is his true strength in the Dao of Talismans!”

She reacted. Pei Huoyu took a deep breath, got up, and walked out of the quiet room. However, the moment she stepped through the door of the quiet room, she looked down at the curvaceous outline of the light armor dress, then raised her head to glance at the main quiet room. Then, she suddenly laughed. “I’ve really fallen into his trap this time, but I, Pei Huoyu, can only accept this trap!”

True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters

In the lofty palace, dozens of phantoms sitting on the throne were still looking at the white jade tower floating in the middle of the hall. The trial assessment had been going on until now. The sixth floor of the tower was already lit up.

“Hall Master Tong’s personal disciple is really fast. He probably didn’t hold back anymore. With his Beast Scripture level, it won’t be difficult for him to pass the seventh level if he completely erupts.”

“That’s right. There are a total of three volumes of beast bones. It’s indeed commendable that he has studied and comprehended the second volume. I wonder which level he will be able to pass this time.”

“I think he’ll stop at the eighth level.”

“With just the second volume of the beast bone, he definitely won’t be able to pass the eighth level. Let’s see if he has any other powerful array techniques.”

“Other than this Class A core, the others are too unsatisfactory. They’re really getting worse every time.”

“There’s a second person on the Hidden Dragon Ranking who has entered the third level… Let me see. Eh, he’s actually a new core who has just passed the assessment a few years ago. He hasn’t even passed the review.”

As dozens of spatial distorted phantoms discussed, a phantom suddenly looked at the third level. After he finished speaking, the eyes of the other phantoms landed on the third level of the white jade tower.

All kinds of beast scriptures were the core of their True Treasure Pavilion.

No one could leak this scripture to the outside world. Any cultivator who was good at a certain technique had never come into contact with the scripture before entering the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion for the assessment. Although they could come into contact with supplementary scriptures like the Green Talisman Sutra in advance, its power was too weak.

Therefore, it was already very good for a new core who had yet to undergo a review to pass the first level of the trial space. If he passed the second level, he would definitely be a demon-level genius with some kind of skill. Such a genius was still relatively rare in the True Treasure Pavilion.

The white jade tower was connected to the jade token space. This was something that the True Treasure Pavilion had spent a long time researching. Although it was not perfect yet, it could already be used successfully.

At this moment, dozens of phantoms passed through the tower and saw Shen Ping in the third level of the trial space. However, they only took a few glances before they revealed puzzled expressions.

“The third level of the trial is facing a swamp beast. This kind of strange demon beast’s defense and resistance are extremely strong. It can even withstand the talisman scripture. If one wants to complete the killing, they have to create at least ten talisman beast diagrams of the third volume before the talisman formation collapses. This requires extremely high control of their divine sense and the talisman beast diagram. Currently, only two Class A core members in a hundred years can do it. One of them has comprehended the fourth volume.”

“However, this newly promoted core seems to be making the first volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture. Doesn’t he know that no matter how many people make the first volume, it’s impossible to kill the Swamp Beast?”

“It’s indeed a little strange. Although the talisman formation on the third level has increased its defense, it can only last for eight hours. It’s a complete waste of time for him to make the first volume of the talisman beast diagram now.”

“There’s no need to be anxious. It will only be a few hours. If he can pass the second level, he must have some methods.”

On the third floor in the jade token trial space, Shen Ping stood on the grassland swamp. A semicircle of defensive spiritual light flickered around him. After estimating the approximate time for the energy support of the rune array, he did not feel too relaxed. After all, after passing the second level, he already understood that it was impossible to rely on the first volume to kill those strange demon beasts.

The defense of the demon beasts on the third level was definitely stronger. Therefore, if he wanted to pass, he could only continue to rely on his Talisman Dao Mystique. However, when he reached this level, Shen Ping did not have any hopes of passing. He just wanted to do his best to see how far his limit could reach.

Swoosh.

The talisman brush continuously drew special spirit runes on the talisman paper. These spirit runes gathered and formed the lines and veins of the talisman beast diagram. After ten minutes passed, the talisman beast diagram was created.

If it was an ordinary Level 3 talisman, he wouldn’t be able to make it so quickly. This was because the higher the grade of the talisman, the more complicated the number of spirit runes and circuits involved. However, the first volume of the Talisman Beast Scroll only involved three special spirit runes.

Everything else was the derivation of vibration, stack, and return. Time passed quietly. As the number of Talisman Beast Diagrams increased, the exhaustion of squeezing his divine sense and mind to the limit swept over him again. He reached the fifth talisman.

Shen Ping wanted to grit his teeth and continue, but the talisman beast diagram controlled by his divine sense was already on the verge of exploding.

Helpless, he could only use the Talisman Dao Mystique.

Boom!

The terrifying power of the fusion and burning of the five talisman beast diagrams instantly erupted on this swamp grassland. This time, the circular pillar of light only killed 30 or so swamp demon beasts before quickly dissipating.

Shen Ping, who had collapsed on the grass, was not surprised.

After all, there was a limit to the power of a divine power. Moreover, fusing five talismans was the lowest power of a divine power. Previously, the reason why he could quickly kill more than a thousand strange rocks on the second level was mainly because the defense of the strange stone demon beasts was not strong.

However, the swamp demon beasts on the third level were different. Just now, he noticed that when the pillar of light condensed by the talisman light struck the swamp demon beasts, they were not instantly annihilated. Instead, they burned like flames for a few breaths.

Bam! Bam!

The Swamp Demon Beasts attacked crazily. The defensive spiritual light only trembled slightly, and the light of the rune array on it dimmed very slowly. However, while Shen Ping recovered his magic power and spirit, he could not help but sigh.

This… was his limit!

The limit of hard work day in and day out. The sweat he had once shed, the traces of it dripping, the bitterness he had eaten… appeared in front of his eyes.

He had worked hard for nearly fourteen years.

He endured the blandness.

He tasted loneliness.

He bore the boredom.

All these pasts finally reached their current limit.

Shen Ping could not help but ask himself. Could he still take another step forward?

“Husband, Yun’er believe you!

“Husband, you’re the best!”

“Husband, although you are afraid of death, in my heart, you are the most dazzling starlight.”

As his heart continued to calm down, he seemed to hear the voices of his wife and concubines. Their previous encouragement slowly lingered.

“This is not my limit!” Shen Ping muttered. The moment his Foundation Establishment cultivation recovered, he suddenly stood up and focused on creating talismans again.

One, two… five.

Exhaustion swept through him. It kept pulling his will and making him stop the talisman brush. This time, however, Shen Ping gritted his teeth and endured it. His eyes were filled with determination.

Buzz.

The Life Divine Talisman hidden in his sea of consciousness immediately flickered and emitted an invisible talisman light. The talisman beast diagram that was trembling endlessly seemed to have been comforted and quickly calmed down.

However, Shen Ping did not notice such a change. He was completely focused on creating talismans, and his speed and efficiency actually faintly increased.

Ten.

Fifteen.

When 20 talisman beast diagrams were completed, the defensive spiritual light around him shattered with a bang. Shen Ping’s expression did not change. However, the twenty talismans and beast diagrams were already spinning from bottom to top.

The moment they gathered, a pillar of light that was as dazzling as the sun erupted above his head..
