Wall-Breaking Divine Talisman!

West City Alley.

Master Tao was diligently drawing talismans in his own courtyard.

A knock suddenly sounded.

"Who is it?" Master Tao asked, putting down his brush and walking to the door. He heard no response, so he curiously opened it. Standing at the entrance was a young man, and in the corner of the opposite wall, an old man leaned against it, his face covered in sweat.

Master Tao's expression changed drastically. "You... are you Mr. Xiao?!"

The man surnamed Xiao frowned and asked, "You recognize me?"

Master Tao said, "I heard someone was looking for a man born in a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour. This matter was only circulated among introductory Masters. If a result was found, there would be a generous reward, providing the Master with the greatest resources. The person's surname is Xiao, and he carries a rather unique sword. I recognized him at a glance."

The man surnamed Xiao nodded and said, "Master Tao's reputation is quite strong near Hun City. I didn't expect you to have heard of this matter. I happened to be passing through Hun City, and my original intention was to ask Master Tao for help. It is indeed a coincidence."

Master Tao chuckled awkwardly, "It's just a false reputation. May I ask if Mr. Xiao's promise is true?"

The man surnamed Xiao said, "Naturally, it is true."

He looked into the courtyard and then smiled, "Master Tao borrowing from demons to draw talismans is a lower-tier path. If you get too much demonic energy, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

Master Tao said embarrassedly, "A clever woman can't cook without rice. You've made a fool of me, Mr. Xiao."

Feng Linghuai, standing outside the courtyard gate, looked a little nervous. Mr. Xiao was saying so much now, it must be a very important matter. He wondered if he should listen?

However, the man surnamed Xiao showed no intention of avoiding the topic and asked, "Master Tao, do you have any leads?"

"Well..." Master Tao appeared hesitant.

The man surnamed Xiao smiled, "Then I shall give Master Tao a meeting gift."

He extended his index finger and lightly drew on the ground, revealing glowing patterns. Instantly, the Qi of heaven and earth condensed within the patterns.

He then waved his hand towards the talismans in the courtyard again. A blank talisman flew over, the patterns imprinted on the paper, and it slowly floated into Master Tao's hand.

The man surnamed Xiao said, "This talisman gathers a large amount of Qi from heaven and earth. Its power is enough to heavily injure a cultivator in the Cave Nether Realm."

Master Tao was greatly shocked.

He had never seen such a method of drawing talismans!

And the rank of this talisman...

"It's actually a perfect Wall-Breaking Divine Talisman!"

The Wall-Breaking Talisman was a powerful talisman that only a true Old Master could create.

Ultimately, Masters were still mortals. This talisman could break the boundary between mortals and heaven, allowing mortals to contend against 'gods'!

When the talisman exploded, depending on the Master's ability and the amount of Qi stolen, it could at least kill Wangliang or heavily injure a third-realm Martial Artist. At most, it could restrain monsters of Ao Yin's level, and even as the man surnamed Xiao said, with this talisman in hand, one could face peak cultivators of the Cave Nether Realm without fear.

Although this Wall-Breaking Divine Talisman was not truly perfect, for Master Tao, it was already a divine object.

It was a talisman he could never draw in his lifetime.

"Is Mr. Xiao also a fellow practitioner?"

Looking at the young man surnamed Xiao, Master Tao dared not be sure.

Although there were rumors of talismans that could help people Return to Simplicity, he had never seen one with his own eyes. Just by looking at the man surnamed Xiao's method of drawing talismans, he was likely at the pinnacle of the Master world, so being young might be normal.

The man surnamed Xiao said, "Although I understand how to draw talismans, I am not a Master."

Master Tao didn't pry further and said solemnly, "I do have some leads. It was a coincidence. The Young Marquis of the Xunyang Marquis Manor in Hun City is the person Mr. Xiao is looking for. His birth characters match perfectly."

"Jiang Wang?" The man surnamed Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

He took out a scroll from his robe and said, "This records some steps for drawing talismans, as well as my... personal insights. It's slightly different from ordinary talisman drawing methods but is more powerful. As long as Master Tao can learn it, you will surely have a place in this world."

Master Tao was very excited. He tremblingly reached out and took the scroll. The title read: Compendium of Talisman Formations.

Leaving West City Alley, the man surnamed Xiao turned his back to the bustling City God Temple Fair and gazed at the Marquis Manor on Qixia Street, murmuring softly, "Although I've found a suitable person, their character must also be considered. If they are not a good person, I can only find another way. I absolutely cannot settle for less."

Feng Linghuai followed the man surnamed Xiao like a servant.

The shock in his heart was beyond words.

He had defeated Xie Wuxing, a true disciple of the Sword Pavilion, with just one sword, possessed miraculous medical skills, and even mastered the art of drawing talismans. Mr. Xiao was simply omnipotent!

Jiang Wang lay on the rattan chair and looked at Xie Wuxing, asking, "Do you recognize that person from just now?"

Xie Wuxing was annoyed because the man surnamed Xiao had suddenly disappeared without a trace. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I only know his surname is Xiao, and his cultivation is extremely high. In the Sword Pavilion, besides my teacher and uncle, no one is likely his match."

Xie Wuxing strongly suspected that the man surnamed Xiao was a powerful cultivator in the Cleansing Snow Realm.

Jiang Wang frowned, finding Xie Wuxing's statement somewhat exaggerated.

"Brother Jiang, do you know of Liu Pian?" Xie Wuxing leaned closer and whispered.

Jiang Wang silently raised his saber, pressing it against Xie Wuxing's head, pushing him away, and said calmly, "Speak your mind from a distance. Don't get so close to me."

Xie Wuxing said indignantly, "I don't have that kind of fetish! How many times do you want me to explain!"

"Liu Pian?" The Old Butler's expression was solemn at this moment. "Is he the Jianli who gained fame in Longchan?"

Xie Wuxing turned to look at him and said, "Liu Pian is a remarkable person from the Sui Kingdom. He suddenly appeared ten years ago. I had never heard of him in previous years. He did not forge a Yellow Court, yet he possesses extremely profound cultivation. That man surnamed Xiao also does not have a Yellow Court. Although he explained that the Yellow Court is in another location, I still remain very skeptical."

The old butler glanced at his young master.

Because the Hundred Days Foundation Establishment relied purely on willpower, unless one was born with a Yellow Court already formed, it was actually difficult to discern their talent at a glance.

It's just that when a cultivator establishes their foundation, they can also channel Qi into their bodies upon sensing it, thereby determining if they have the potential to become a cultivator.

For example, Qi adhering to the skin surface indicates a Martial Artist; those without Qi themselves but able to draw Qi to create talismans are Masters. As long as one comes into contact with Qi, there will naturally be corresponding characteristics.

Those who circulate Qi merely possess the potential to become cultivators. Those who move external scenery to forge a Yellow Court are judged by the quantity of their Yellow Courts.

The Upper Yellow Court is in the brain, the Middle Yellow Court in the heart, and the Lower Yellow Court in the spleen. Most cultivators can only forge the Lower Yellow Court. Those who can see the Middle Yellow Court are absolute geniuses.

Those who can be born with a Yellow Court already forged means they possess all three. It's equivalent to others just starting, while these individuals are already lying at the finish line.

As it turned out, Jiang Wang only had one Yellow Court, and it was the Upper Yellow Court. Under normal circumstances, not only could it not be detected, but he didn't even have a trace of Qi within his body.

The old butler guessed that Jiang Wang had some kind of fortuitous encounter. If the rumors about Liu Pian not having a Yellow Court were true, and he was like his young master, then he had good reason to suspect that Jiang Wang's sudden embarkment on the path of cultivation was related to Liu Pian.

He said calmly, "Although the Yellow Court is the foundation of a cultivator, it is also the most mysterious. Perhaps someone has forged a fourth Yellow Court, who knows? Liu Pian's matter can only represent his extraordinary talent. Ancient texts mention the Dantian, proving that ancient cultivators did not necessarily cultivate the Yellow Court."

Xie Wuxing was very surprised and said, "Did Liu Pian find an ancient method?"

The old butler replied, "Although the Qingxuan Bureau couldn't find any trace of Liu Pian, they must have researched his situation thoroughly. If something truly strange had happened, why would they stop looking just because they couldn't find him?"

"Not to mention that current cultivation methods are all improved from ancient times. Even if some secret techniques are lost, they might not necessarily be that good. Even if one doesn't need to forge a Yellow Court, the foundation must be laid well. Otherwise, no matter how fast you run, if you trip and die, what's the use?"

Xie Wuxing fell into deep thought.

He felt that he was ultimately still too young.

Even if there was truly only one Liu Pian in the world, the important figures would definitely think of many things. If there was even the slightest possibility, people would spare no effort to find Liu Pian.

Despite this, Xie Wuxing was still very curious about the man surnamed Xiao.

In the following days, the City God Temple Fair continued as scheduled, and the Immortal Seekers also began their large-scale operations, making Qixia Street incredibly lively.

Cultivators soaring through the sky above Qixia Street had become an everyday occurrence.

Jiang Wang was currently wandering around in his Divine Kingdom. Ever since his battle with Dong Chongyang, mountains had risen from the ground in his Divine Kingdom, and there were now some flowers, grass, and streams. He could now directly enter the Divine Kingdom with his consciousness.

Climbing to the mountaintop and looking down at his Divine Kingdom, apart from this mountain, everything within his line of sight was like an abyss, like the chaos before the birth of heaven and earth.

He raised his hand gently, and a breeze arose. When his hand fell, the wind stopped.

Jiang Wang rubbed his chin and exclaimed, "I'm practically a god here."

The Night Roaming God lay on the grass, legs in the air, and sneered, "Look at you, acting like you've never seen the world. Only when you can bring outsiders in here will you be truly invincible. If you want someone to die, they die; if you want them to live, they live. No matter how much you summon wind and rain now, it's only for yourself to see. It's useless."

Jiang Wang ignored it, thinking that it was only a matter of time.

He also lay directly on the soft grass, feeling that even the air was sweet.

Then, he suddenly felt a bit melancholic. He glanced sideways at the Night Roaming God and said, "There's a very serious problem. I haven't truly cultivated yet. If I can't become a cultivator, I can't increase my lifespan. When the Divine Kingdom becomes even more powerful, won't I be drained dry?"

The Night Roaming God happily kicked its legs and retorted, "You're meant to become an Immortal! Can't you broaden your horizons? If you were like ordinary cultivators, what use would the Divine Kingdom have?"

Jiang Wang patted the grass and said, "Explain it to me."

The Night Roaming God did a cartwheel, trotted over with small steps, and said grandly, "Cultivators either forge a Yellow Court or are born with one. You belong to the latter. Although you only have one Upper Yellow Court, your Yellow Court hides a Divine Kingdom."

It faced Jiang Wang and said, "Simply put, you've directly skipped the Hundred Days Foundation Establishment and were born already in the Cave Nether Realm. Do you still need to cultivate?"

"It's because you are not a true Immortal that the Divine Kingdom needs to draw upon your lifespan to remain stable. If you weren't born a cultivator, the lifespan needed by the Divine Kingdom would have drained you dry right after birth. How could you have lived until now?"
