Ground Shrinking Golden Light

"Could it be the commotion caused by someone in Foundation Establishment?" Qin Yang rubbed his head, a bit taken aback.

Before, in order to be perfect, he had completely immersed his consciousness within his body, going all out. He never expected to cause such a big commotion.

After getting up, Qin Yang immediately moved away from there. Who knew how many people the commotion might attract...

Now that he had successfully established his Dao Foundation, he needed to settle down and consolidate it for a while. He couldn't continue to be so brave and diligent. Leaving here was just right.

With a single step, his figure was already dozens of feet away. In two or three steps, he crossed over a li of ground.

Qin Yang paused, unable to contain the joy in his heart.

During the Qi Nurturing stage, True Essence floated about, unattached, like water without roots. Each time it was overused, there was a risk of a slight decrease in realm. If he suffered a serious injury, his realm would easily fall.

But now, having established his Dao Foundation with the Purple Firmament Dao Scripture, there was a sense of immovability like a mountain within his body. True Essence flowed gently, operating on its own. Even if it was consumed, it would immediately begin to recover. There was even an illusion that his Dao Foundation was indestructible.

The difference was hard to describe. The most direct thing was that the amount of True Essence was very large, many times more than the expected limit. The quality of True Essence was also terrifyingly high. The former didn't need to be elaborated on, but the most direct advantage of high True Essence quality was that consumption was lower. A secret technique that required ten portions of True Essence for others might only require one or two portions with high True Essence quality, and the power would be even stronger.

A Dao Foundation as stable as a mountain had more benefits, stronger bursts of power, and there was no need to worry about not being able to withstand it.

After feeling it for a moment, Qin Yang felt a little itchy, wanting to try if he could now use the Shangqing Cloud Piercing Lightning Guiding Secret Method.

With a thought, Qin Yang formed a hand seal, True Essence flowed, and a trace of dangerous aura floated. Clouds gathered in the sky, and there were faint crackling sounds of tiny lightning bolts in the air...

But in an instant, Qin Yang dispersed his True Essence and shook his head secretly. This secret method had even higher requirements than secret techniques. After a little experiment, he could indeed use it, but it took a bit too long and consumed a lot of True Essence. The minimum output would consume nearly half of his True Essence at once.

He had only just successfully established his Foundation Establishment, so he thought it was better to forget it...

If he couldn't test this kind of secret method, then he could only test something else...

He might as well try drawing Talisman Scripts and making Ink Talismans. He hadn't been willing to use the bark he got from the Banyan Tree Demon before, as it was too wasteful to make Talisman Scripts and the success rate of making Ink Talismans was too low...

Thinking of this, Qin Yang chose a new direction again. After running for dozens of miles, he dug out a cave again and went inside to start experimenting.

Cutting the bark and making Talisman Scripts, the materials for cinnabar and Talisman brush were not very good, but the magic Talismans he made were all high-grade magic Talismans, but there was still only one top-grade magic Talisman...

And it was a Small Cloud Rain Talisman...

"This is really..." Qin Yang looked at the top-grade Small Cloud Rain Talisman in front of him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Did he have the deepest understanding of the Small Cloud Rain Talisman?

He had directly explored the potential of the Small Cloud Rain Talisman to the extreme...

It seemed that this should be the limit of that Introduction to Talismans. If he wanted to go further, he would have to slowly study it himself using the knowledge in his mind.

He didn't make many magic Talismans, and continued to make Ink Talismans. He cut off a piece of bark three feet long and one foot wide, and waved his brush to outline it. Dense Dao patterns covered it, and then he continued to add Talisman cores at key nodes to integrate them into one.

After a while, the bark glowed, the Dao patterns retreated, and the runes also dissipated, turning into a splash-ink painting. With a few strokes, a purple Immortal Crane was outlined, lifelike, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly off the paper.

"Shape-Shifting Ink Talismans, I finally made one successfully..." Qin Yang smiled, feeling very happy.

When he first obtained the Introduction to Talismans, what he wanted to make most was Shape-Shifting Ink Talismans. Of the nine types of Ink Talismans he learned, Shape-Shifting Ink Talismans accounted for three. This one was the Immortal Crane Shape-Shifting Ink Talismans, which could summon an Immortal Crane for riding, with a speed comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator Flying with Weapon, and it didn't consume his own True Essence.

"I didn't expect that the quality of this bark is simply too good, and the quality of True Essence is also terrifyingly high. The first time I made it, I made a high-grade Ink Talismans. As long as I don't exhaust its power all at once, it can recover on its own and can be used all the time..."

The first Ink Talismans was a great success, and Qin Yang continued to make more.

He made two more of the three golden Ink Talismans, one for protection and one for running away.

After making two more Ink Talismans, Qin Yang stopped, really reluctant to continue wasting these tree barks.

All three volumes of Ink Talismans are of superior quality. Qin Yang doesn't think he has mastered them perfectly yet; the quality of the bark is excessively good, contributing greatly.

These three volumes of Ink Talismans should be sufficient for now.

After packing up his tools, Qin Yang turned and headed towards the Swamp.

He had promised the Banyan Tree Demon to take him away from here. Now that he had lost interest in other things here, it was only right to take the Banyan Tree Demon with him first, so he wouldn't have to return after finding a way to leave.

Standing by the Swamp again, it was still deathly silent, with miasma breeding and a faint murderous aura floating in the air.

Qin Yang narrowed his eyes and looked inside, circulating True Essence in his eyes. The mist in front of him was immediately pushed aside as if by a large hand, and everything before him became clearly visible.

Looking again beneath the Swamp, his eyesight was like lightning, piercing through the small puddles to see what lay beneath.

Below, they were connected into a whole, resembling a lake with lush aquatic plants. The patches of land and mud on the surface were actually floating on the water.

In it, pale and decayed corpses floated in the water, including those of humans and demons, as well as many strange races. Some were only three feet tall, with their heads occupying one foot, while others were thirty feet tall, like giants. Still others had four arms growing from their ribs and a vertical pupil on their forehead, but no lower body, making for a bizarre sight.

Besides these, there were also the monsters from before, scattered among them like the dead, mixed in with the corpses, motionless.

Qin Yang smacked his lips as he looked at the large number of corpses in the water.

"I wonder if I can still find Skill Books by touching these corpses..."

After lamenting the missed opportunity, Qin Yang didn't hesitate. He directly took out two volumes of Golden Ink Talismans, activated them slightly, and immediately, one volume hovered above his head, casting down golden light to envelop him, with countless Talisman Scripts flowing on the light screen.

The other extended out, unfurling into a golden path, stretching from beneath Qin Yang's feet all the way into the depths of the Swamp.

Instantly, the seemingly dead monsters beneath the Swamp wagged their tails and rushed upwards.

"Come on, if you can catch me, I'll stuff my head into your mouths." Qin Yang laughed and took a step, stepping onto the golden path.

In an instant, the golden path rapidly extended forward, covering a hundred zhang with each step.

This volume of Ink Talismans is said to have a great origin, being modeled after an ancient divine power, Ground Shrinking Golden Light.

It is said that in ancient times, those who cultivated this divine power could travel eight thousand miles in one step, and a casual stroll would cover hundreds of thousands of miles.

Although this volume of Ink Talismans is far from that powerful, it can still cover a hundred zhang in one step without any hesitation.

Qin Yang walked leisurely on the golden path, while the monsters in the puddles chased after him like madmen, but after only a dozen steps, they were completely out of sight
