You Started It!

The Gongsun Clan, renowned for their talismans, is located in the Jiangnan region.

Although the Gongsun Clan is a Lineage, Gongsun Clan strength is indeed extraordinary.

The Gongsun Clan, which controls talismans, receives countless people from all over the country every day seeking talismans or wanting to become their disciples.

However, recently, after the Gongsun Clan publicly announced their intention to withdraw from the three major aristocratic families, there has been much discussion from all sides.

Not to mention the outside world, even the members of the Gongsun Clan were finding it hard to accept.

Why should we withdraw from the three major families?

Of the three great families in the world today, the Huang Clan is gone... the Shi Clan exists in name only, while the Jin Clan is still increasing its influence to become one of the new three great families.

Only our Gongsun Clan has reached its zenith.

Just because Chu Xinghe specially recruited a talisman genius, our Gongsun Clan backed down?

The members of the Gongsun Clan still found this somewhat unacceptable.

Everyone speculated that the patriarch was simply getting old and had been intimidated by Chu Xinghe and the reputation of the Vast Heaven Sect.

Who is this Hu Wenhai? Others may not know, but does the Gongsun Clan not?

It's true he comes from the Hu Lineage, and the Hu Lineage was indeed the strongest talisman family in the past, but that's all in the past, okay?

Look at the state of the Hu Lineage now!

Moreover, Hu Wenhai was brought to our Gongsun Clan by his obese father Hu Buqi, to seek apprenticeship... and what was the result?

Besides being faster, what other advantages does that product have?

What kind of talent does he have for talismans?

You outsiders call this thing the Future King of Talismans?

Aren't you showing a bit of disrespect to the Gongsun Clan?

That's something our Gongsun Clan wouldn't even consider worth a second.

Therefore, the disciples of the Gongsun Clan all expressed that their patriarch was being a bit too cautious.

Yu Lineage disciples, the higher-ups of the Gongsun Clan remained silent... At this moment, in the largest talisman hall of the Gongsun Clan, the family head Gongsun Lu, along with all the elders and higher-ups of the Lineage, gathered together.

"I've heard the younger generation is quite active lately," Gongsun Lu said, sipping his tea.

"Hehe... that's how the little ones are, they can't keep their composure when something happens." Gongsun Zhen, the eldest son of the Gongsun Clan, said with a smile.

The other elders also smiled.

Compared to the clueless younger generation, the higher-ups of the Gongsun Clan clearly understood why the patriarch was doing this.

Why was the Huang Clan destroyed? Why did the Shi Clan perish?

Isn't it because they were too arrogant before?

What a colossal entity the Vast Heaven Sect is! The Huang Clan and Shi Clan completely misjudged the situation. To challenge the Vast Heaven Sect without absolute strength is simply courting death.

But our Gongsun Clan is different; we know how to keep a low profile and bide our time.

Only by avoiding direct confrontation can the Lineage develop faster and better.

What the outside world doesn't know is that the Gongsun Clan recently had a stroke of great luck; they discovered Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art in some ruins...

Although this Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art is a later adaptation, far inferior to the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art and extremely incomplete, the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art was still the most top-tier talisman.

Even if it's an adaptation, it's still far superior to the talismans we have today.

With this divine technique, given some time, Gongsun Clan will surely surpass its former glory. The Gongsun Clan's goal has never been to dominate the Jiangnan region; Gongsun Clan goal is to one day become one of the top ten Lineage in the world!

Therefore, at this time, the Gongsun Clan should not provoke the Vast Heaven Sect, but rather strive to strengthen themselves. Once everyone comprehends the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, what kind of bullshit Hu Wenhai?

The Future King of Talismans? Isn't he just a fat bastard?

If you're talking about other aspects, I wouldn't dare say the Gongsun Clan is superior, but when it comes to talismans, the Gongsun Clan is invincible, okay!

Recently, all the senior members of the Gongsun Clan have been working hard to learn the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art). With the blessing of this incomplete and modified version of the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, the strength of the Gongsun Clan's senior members has improved by leaps and bounds.

Five years! If the Gongsun Clan is given another five years, Gongsun Clan have complete control of the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art. When the Gongsun Clan emerges from seclusion again, it will be the day they enter the top ten!

The entire leadership of the Gongsun Clan naturally supported the Yu Lineage's wise decision to bide his time and conceal his abilities.

Chu Xinghe is just lucky. He thinks he can compete with the Gongsun Clan in talismans by randomly finding some fatso?

Chu Xinghe is simply courting death.

This time, the Gongsun Clan will use facts to tell the whole world that whether Chu Xinghe is the nemesis of aristocratic families is unknown, but the Gongsun Clan is definitely not someone Chu Xinghe can confront.

Moreover, five years later, once we have fully mastered this Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, our Gongsun Clan will personally ascend to the Vast Heaven Sect to challenge Hu Wenhai.

Isn't he the Future King of Talismans that Chu Xinghe found?

As long as our Gongsun Clan crushes this so-called Future king of talismans under our feet, our Gongsun Clan will surely become famous in one battle.

Today's strategy of keeping a low profile is for the sake of a future resurgence!

What about the three great families of the world? My Gongsun Clan's goal is only to be the number one family in the world!

A group of high-ranking members of the Gongsun Clan cried out, "God bless our Gongsun Clan! Our rise to the Gongsun Clan is unstoppable!"

The atmosphere was incredibly lively...

As a Lineage assembly was drawing to a close, Gongsun Lu instructed the Lineage elites to diligently study the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, for it represented the Future of the Gongsun Clan.

Just as everyone was praising the patriarch's wisdom, the door to the Talisman Hall was pushed open.

An elder of the Gongsun Clan who was away rushed in with a look of horror.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

"What nonsense are you spouting... I'm right here, aren't I?" Gongsun Lu said angrily.

But before Gongsun Lu could reprimand the elder for talking nonsense, the next piece of news brought by the elder plunged the originally lively Lineage meeting into an ice cave.

What is that? Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art?

Hu Wenhai uses the Mirror Image Talisman from the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art to control demonic beasts?

What the hell are you talking to me about?

Our Gongsun Clan risked our lives to obtain a damaged and modified version of the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, and now you're telling me Hu Wenhai has already begun studying the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art?

Are you absolutely sure that's Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, and not some random thing Hu Wenhai made up?

But very soon... the news that the demonic beasts were controllable spread throughout the world... even the Grand Elder's announcements were explained in detail.

Moreover, not only is it true that demonic beasts can be controlled, but someone has also released the news that the Great Sage possesses the complete version of the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art.

The moment the news was confirmed, the entire Gongsun Clan's talisman hall fell into complete silence...

Finally, it was Gongsun Lu, the head of the Gongsun Clan, who spoke up, "Don't panic! It's just Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art! What's there to be afraid of? Our Gongsun Clan will continue to bide our time. As long as we thoroughly study our incomplete and modified version of the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art, we will surely become the second-best talisman Lineage in the world!"

The audience. "???"

Although it was somewhat absurd for the patriarch to change the ultimate goal from becoming the number one talisman Lineage in the world to the number two talisman Lineage in the world at the drop of a hat.

But I must say, the patriarch is quite farsighted... Actually, being second in the world isn't so bad...

As human beings... we should know how to be content... but the problem is, what the hell can we do if we're not content...? They've already brought out the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art (a powerful artifact), are we, the Gongsun Clan, crazy? Are we going to fight to the death with a flawed, modified version of the Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art?

Chu Xinghe didn't know how the Gongsun Clan's goals would change; all he knew was that he probably wouldn't make it through this year...

Didn't they say that since it's the end of the year, even if God is blind this once, He should at least bless me, Chu Xinghe?

So you guys are saving this for something big, huh?

You guys ganged up on me and betrayed me without a second thought... Do you really want Senior Brother Xinghe dead that badly?

My elective course on monsters is asking you to create controllable monsters for me?

I just wanted to use up some sect resources, okay...

But now things are much better... Because of the previous frenzied cultivation of demonic beasts, the disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect have not experienced any discomfort after obtaining controllable demonic beasts, and everyone's overall combat power has increased dramatically.

Now they're all starting to study demon beast battle formations... If this trend continues, our Vast Heaven Sect won't even need to lift a finger to seize treasures anymore. We can just wave our hand and say, "Big Yellow! Charge!"

The light monsters alone can make others bleed...

And Wan Lin, why don't you just focus on researching your Art of Charm and properly teach your female classmates?

You just showed up without warning and said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, I'm sorry to disappoint you this time. I thought I could surprise Senior Brother Xinghe, but it turns out everything was exactly what you Senior Brother Xinghe..."

What the hell am I calculating?! If I knew even a little bit, I would have told you to get the hell out of here already!

Besides Wan Lin, there was also Hu Wenhai, and Junior Brother Ben, with tears in his eyes, came to him to express his gratitude to Senior Brother Xinghe for his painstaking efforts.

Previously, Senior Brother Xinghe had been preventing the Great Sage from teaching me talismans, and I thought Senior Brother Xinghe thought I wasn't talented enough. Now I know that Senior Brother Xinghe was afraid that I would be distracted while learning the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art. He wanted me to improve my speed to the maximum first before learning the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art.

Don't worry, Senior Brother Xinghe, I will increase my speed like crazy. There is a unique skill in the Ancient Heaven-Reaching Talisman Art called Nine Talismans Manifesting Together. With my speed, Nine Talismans Manifesting Together is just a piece of cake. I can totally challenge the Hundred Talismans Appearing Simultaneously!

Senior Brother Xinghe has opened up a completely new cultivation path for us talisman masters. To learn talismans, you must first learn speed!

After seeing off Junior Brother Ben, who was beaming with excitement and declared that he would never let Senior Brother Xinghe down, Chu Xinghe was completely numb.

The sect was flourishing in every aspect, it was a cause for Universal Celebration!

Um... Great Sage, all I want to do right now is curse your ancestors for eight generations... What happened to saying you knew absolutely nothing about talismans? You call this knowing absolutely nothing?

However, thinking of the Great Sage, Chu Xinghe gritted his teeth and stamped his foot.

So you're pulling this on me... Well then don't blame me Chu Xinghe, for being ruthless and unleashing my ultimate move!

You attacked first... I, Chu Xinghe, was at most on the defensive!

Great Sage, you like to play games with me, pretending to be a living encyclopedia when you don't understand talismans, huh?

You guys like to play the Universal Celebration game with me, huh... Well then, this time, I, Chu Xinghe, can only have the Great Sage lead all the Dark Moon Clan to show you what true Universal Celebration really means!

All Dark Moon Clan, get ready! Let's get this "Universal Celebration" going! All Dark Moon Clan, go on a rampage and consume them!

Without Ma Liang Mu Bai and his gang of backstabbing dogs to intervene, the Dark Moon Clan was left to indulge in their own Universal Celebrations and recklessly squander resources.

Tell me how I'm going to lose this game!
