Why? It's because the Five Elements Formation is what Cheng Sheng is after to resurrect Fei Yin! This is what he is asking Su Yuan about, which is one of the reasons why Su Yuan is in a closed-door cultivation right now!
Hearing what Cheng Sheng has said about the talisman which will have a spell and an array, Xie Lan, Fan Wen, Chen Jing, Wu Fan, Wu Yuan, Sun Yi and Chen Han, as well as Sun Rong and Qie Shi has a foreboding feeling. Cheng Sheng… are you actually planning to use this situation to experiment with the Five Elements Formation?! They all thought with a dark face.
Now that they think about it, Cheng Sheng is currently 'forced' to make this talisman because Su Yuan, who is the third and remaining person that can see the strings of the Eating Worms, went to a closed-door cultivation so he can't work with them. But, Su Yuan went to a closed-door cultivation partly because of Cheng Sheng…
A chill suddenly ran down their spine and they subconsciously shivered when a terrifying thought suddenly flashed in their minds. It couldn't be… Cheng Sheng already planned for Su Yuan to go to a closed-door cultivation for him to be able to experiment with the Five Elements Formation and now has found a chance to do it?! They thought as they looked at Cheng Sheng with their eyes wide in horror. Horrifying! This scum is very horrifying! How can he calculate his moves to this extent?!
Unfortunately, the attention of the others has already been caught by Cheng Sheng so they didn't see their strange behavior.
"But, for you to use a spell and array and place it on a talisman… wouldn't this be too much for you?" Guo Cheng asked in concern.
Cheng Sheng turned and shook his head. "No." he answered. "I will only be drawing an array and write the spell. Inputting the spiritual energy will be left on all of you." He told them.
"Oh! Just like the teleportation arrays!" Pai Lie exclaimed.
Cheng Sheng smiled as he looked at him. "Elder Pai is right." He said before he turned to face them all. "You only need to inject your spiritual energy to the talisman and the spiritual energy will activate the array, followed by the spell." He told them before he flipped his hand and a blank talisman appeared. Then, a brush and ink appeared on the table.
Everyone watched as Cheng Sheng drawn a pentagram on the talisman and wrote words beside each point and line, inside and outside. Then, he wrote some words on the edges of the talisman.
"Here. You try it." Cheng Sheng turned and spoke as he handed the talisman to Tang Yun who was nearest to him.
Tang Yun nodded and took the talisman before he closed his eyes. Light appeared on his hand as his spiritual energy travelled from his hand to the talisman which lit up, before the light from the talisman shot towards the space between his brows.
"Open your eyes and looked at the table. See if you can see the strings." Cheng Sheng spoke.
Tang Yun opened his eyes and turned as Cheng Sheng instructed, only for his eyes to widen and he almost cursed. "What the…!" he exclaimed as he took a step back away from the table. "Strings… there are many strings!" he exclaimed as he looked at the table where the boxes and bottles containing the Eating Worms are placed.
Everyone gasped in surprise. "Really?! It worked?!" they exclaimed. Their voice and face looked excited.
Tang Yun nodded as his eyes glowed. "There are many strings attached to the boxes and the bottles." He spoke. "Transparent… red… huh?" he suddenly muttered and rubbed his eyes. "Cheng Sheng. Why do I see black strings?" he asked. "There are many of them, and most of them are all attached on the boxes…" he said.
"The black strings should be the strings of the father and mother Eating Worms, who are now dead." Cheng Sheng answered.
"Can I use it, too?" Guo Cheng asked as he curiously looked at the talisman on Tang Yun's hand.
Cheng Sheng nodded as an answer. "It can be used again, since it has no spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy came from you instead." He explained. "Try it." He spoke.
Tang Yun gave the talisman to Guo Cheng and Guo Cheng immediately injected it with his spiritual energy. Everyone silently watched with bated breaths as Guo Cheng opened his eyes and saw his eyes are glowing.
"I can also see the strings…" Guo Cheng muttered in awe.
Everyone cheered and passed the talisman to each other.
"Cheng-shidi." Li Tian called. "Since the talisman can be used again, what if some other people will use it, too?" he asked.
Cheng Sheng turned. "Li-shixiong's concern is good. But, you don't have to worry that it will be misused." He spoke. "I have already placed a restriction on it. It can't be used by just anybody else, nor can it be recreated." He said.
"'restriction'? What restriction?" Feng Mo asked.
Cheng Sheng smiled.
"Ah! Why can't I use it?!" Kang Ce exclaimed when he tried to use the talisman.
"Huh? But, we can use it…?" Shan Lu muttered.
Tang Teng nodded. "Sect leader Li, maybe you can try?" he asked.
Li Nanzi nodded and took the talisman from Kang Ce. "… I can't. it isn't working." He spoke.
"Sheng-er, what happened?" Chen Jing asked.
"Ah Sheng, I also can't use it?" Chen Han pouted.
"That's because the talisman can only be used by them four." Cheng Sheng spoke and raised his hand.
The talisman left Li Nanzi's hand and flew towards Cheng Sheng's hand. Then, Cheng Sheng flipped the talisman and they saw on the back of the talisman were five names written neatly.
"Woah… so this is the restriction Cheng-shixiong means?!" You Rou spoke.
"Yes. Only the ones whose name is written on the talisman can be able to use this." Cheng Sheng explained.
"Amazing!" they exclaimed.
"Ah Sheng! Make one for me, Sun Yi and Wu Yuan!" Chen Han excitedly said.
"Okay." Cheng Sheng nodded.
"Make one for us, too!" Jing Bai pouted.
"Xiao Sheng. Aren't you forgetting your own sect?" Xie Lan spoke as his eyes narrowed.
Cheng Sheng coldly sweated. "Li-shixiong… help me make them… QAQ" he said as he pulled Li Tian's sleeve.
Li Tian was surprised. "Eh? I can make them, too?" he said. "But, didn't you say no one can recreate them?" he asked.
Cheng Sheng scratched his head. "That is if I won't share the principle of this talisman to you." He said and turned to Lei Ling and Xiao Le. "You come here, too. And you." He added and looked at Jing Kang.
Lei Ling and Xiao Le are very excited and Jing Kang nodded as the three of them walked towards Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng raised his head and placed his index finger on their foreheads.
"I already made one for the Huakai Sect. Li-shixiong can make one for the Youxiwang Sect while Lei-shidi make one for our sect." Cheng Sheng spoke. "Jing Kang can make two for the Zunjingde Sect and Righteous Alliance while Xiao Le make two for the Nanshu Sect and Huli Sect. I will make two more for the Shanliangde Sect and Qianxu Sect." he said as he returned the talisman to the Huakai Sect.
"Cheng Sheng is really thoughtful." Qian Shan spoke.
"Many thanks." Sun Yu said.
"Thank you." Zheng Fu Gong and Pai Lie said.
"This is my duty." Cheng Sheng answered as he started writing two more while Li Tian, Lei Ling, Jing Kang and Xiao Le took their seats and started writing, too. "Everyone should be careful, though." He said as he wrote. "Be sure to carefully hide the talisman from the other people's sight. Also, be discreet in your actions, especially when you catch the Eating Worms to not alert the enemy again." He told them.
They all nodded with their expression looking solemn. "We all have learned our lesson." Jing Kang grimaced before he resumed writing. He, Li Tian, Lei Ling and Xiao Le are coldly sweating as they tried to follow what's written on the front of the talisman.
"Cheng-shixiong… this is hard. QAQ" Xiao Le spoke.
Li Tian wryly smiled and Lei Ling's hand is trembling. Meanwhile, Jing Kang's face is blanker than usual.
"You can do it, xiao Le." Shu Mu cheered for him.
Cheng Sheng ignored them and then gave the talismans to Qian Shan and Sun Yu. "Father, uncle Wu. Elder Fei." He called.
"Yes?" the four of them answered.
"Since the four of you won't watch the Intersect Competition…" Cheng Sheng spoke.
Shu Mu, Xiao Le, Xi Ming and Xi Xing are watching the Intersect Competition to cheer for their sect's disciples as elders. On the other hand, Chen Jing, Wu Fan, Fei Lin and Xi Ling are just wandering around the continent.
"I have something to ask for the four of you." Cheng Sheng spoke.
