Condensing the Natal Celestial Talisman

The Demon Breaking Dragon Halberd trembled slightly, as if echoing the demonic beast carved into the mountain wall.

Long Jiuyyao touched the demonic beast carved on the mountain wall. As he made contact, he suddenly discovered that the Crimson Dragon carved on the mountain wall emitted a faint suction. Under this suction, it felt as if the Spiritual Power in his Mud Pill Palace was showing signs of leaking away.

The accident happened suddenly. Before Long Jiuyyao could resist, his Mud Pill Palace also underwent a change. The countless Spiritual Power within his Mud Pill Palace surged madly into the Golden Dragon Pattern.

Long Jiuyyao also felt the mysterious Rune within his Mud Pill Palace for the first time. Its aura was consistent with the ancestral Rune aura preserved on the Demon Breaking Dragon Halberd, which surprised him.

He had read the original work thoroughly and naturally knew that there were a total of eight ancestral Runes born in this world. However, the mysterious Rune in his Mud Pill Palace was an unknown ninth ancestral Rune.

But Long Jiuyyao could also feel that this was merely the nascent form of an ancestral Rune, not an ancestral Rune in the true sense. The difficulty of transforming it into a true ancestral Rune was no less than achieving reincarnation.

The moment the mysterious Rune appeared, the strange suction force on Long Jiuyyao's body directly disappeared.

However, the nascent ancestral Rune greedily devoured the Spiritual Power in Long Jiuyyao's Mud Pill Palace. As the ancestral Rune devoured it, the Spiritual Power was continuously consumed.

Long Jiuyyao naturally knew that he could not let it continue devouring so wantonly. He had not yet condensed his Natal Talisman Seal, and his Spiritual Power was very limited. If his Spiritual Power were completely devoured, he would be in mortal danger.

There was only one path forward: to use this nascent ancestral Rune to forcibly condense the seal and become a One-Seal Talisman Master, mastering this unformed nascent ancestral Rune.

Long Jiuyyao sat cross-legged and formed hand seals. Born into the Dragon race, he knew many methods for condensing seals, and the process of condensing them varied.

The remaining Spiritual Power in his Mud Pill Palace, under Long Jiuyyao's control, slowly resisted the devouring of the ancestral Rune and began to slowly revolve around it.

"Huala..."

As the Spiritual Power in his Mud Pill Palace continuously rotated and wore down the power of the ancestral Rune, a peculiar sound echoed in Long Jiuyyao's mind.

Long Jiuyyao's expression was solemn. Although this was the first time he was condensing his Natal Talisman Seal, and he was simultaneously trying to control an ancestral Rune, the difficulty was immense. This was not a task that could be accomplished overnight.

Long Jiuyyao was also prepared to fight it to the bitter end.

As the rotation of the Spiritual Power accelerated, faint cracks began to appear in the Golden Dragon Pattern at the center.

After one day, the originally complete Golden Dragon Pattern was already shattered into pieces, as if it would instantly disintegrate if Long Jiuyyao applied any pressure.

However, this was indeed the case. Long Jiuyyao's Spiritual Power in his Mud Pill Palace slashed at the shattered Golden Dragon Pattern like a knife. The Golden Dragon Pattern was finally worn down and annihilated by Long Jiuyyao.

But as the Golden Dragon Pattern cracked and decomposed, a colorless and violent whirlwind was exposed in Long Jiuyyao's Mud Pill Palace.

The countless tiny golden particles that decomposed integrated into the Spiritual Power, causing Long Jiuyyao's Spiritual Power to suddenly surge by more than a hundredfold.

The sudden surge in Spiritual Power further worsened the already fragile Mud Pill Palace, leaving it in ruins.

It was like a container that could only hold a bowl of water being forced to hold a basin of water; this would only cause the original container to burst.

This also made Long Jiuyyao realize that the original Golden Dragon Pattern was not the Origin of the ancestral Rune at all, but a protective membrane for the ancestral Rune. Now that the membrane had been destroyed by Long Jiuyyao, the true form of the ancestral Rune was exposed, and this allowed the ancestral Rune to break free from its restraints.

The Spiritual Power did not stop growing, and Long Jiuyyao's Mud Pill Palace was teetering on the verge of shattering.

Long Jiuyyao had no way to stop the surge of Spiritual Power, but he knew how to handle the excess surging Spiritual Power, which was to let the Ancestral Rune wear it down and devour it.

Long Jiuyyao controlled the surging Spiritual Power to slowly approach the palm-sized colorless tornado in the center of his Mud Pill Palace. Long Jiuyyao could not control so much Spiritual Power at once, so he could only control the Spiritual Power bit by bit, slowly merging it into the colorless tornado.

The colorless tornado, however, was like a bottomless black hole, constantly wearing down and devouring Long Jiuyyao's excess Spiritual Power. This finally stopped his Mud Pill Palace from forcibly expanding further.

Long Jiuyyao also knew that his current Mud Pill Palace, after being forcibly expanded by the Ancestral Rune embryonic membrane, was much wider than that of a Three-Seal Talisman Master.

As the Spiritual Power continued to surge, the golden particles were also constantly consumed and disappeared. With the devouring and absorption of the colorless tornado, the Spiritual Power remained within the bearing capacity of the Mud Pill Palace.

The newborn Ancestral Rune, having shed its embryonic membrane, treated Long Jiuyyao's Mud Pill Palace as its home, just like a newborn infant.

When the Spiritual Power stopped growing, and the Gale Ancestral Rune stopped devouring Spiritual Power, Long Jiuyyao knew the time had come.

Between heaven and earth, Talisman Masters condense their Natal Talismans with Spiritual Power. These are numerous and of various ranks.

But in heaven and earth, the most powerful is the Ancestral Rune. And now, there was a nascent Ancestral Rune in Long Jiuyyao's Mud Pill Palace. He wanted to use the Ancestral Rune as a template to condense his Natal Celestial Talisman.

"Condense!"

Long Jiuyyao stabilized his mind and let out a soft cry from his mouth. He knew this was the best time to condense the seal, so he quickly controlled the already saturated Spiritual Power vortex and compressed it fiercely!

"Buzz buzz!"

As the Spiritual Power vortex was gradually compressed to its limit, the entire Mud Pill Palace emitted a buzzing sound like that of a swarm of bees. The Spiritual Power vortex, which had calmed down, became restless once again at this moment.

Long Jiuyyao's expression was extremely solemn. He understood that this was the most crucial moment for condensing the Natal Celestial Talisman, and no mistakes could be made now!

"Condense for me!"

Taking a deep breath, a fierce roar came from Long Jiuyyao's mouth again. A powerful spiritual fluctuation suddenly spread from his mind. Inside the Mud Pill Palace, the colorless tornado released a wisp of Origin, which merged with the Spiritual Power.

The colorless tornado dimmed and lost its luster because it released a wisp of Ancestral Rune Origin. As it was a nascent Ancestral Rune, a wisp of Origin was extremely precious to it.

As the Spiritual Power vortex merged with the Origin of the Gale Ancestral Rune, a blurry Natal Celestial Talisman, the size of two fingers, flickered in the Mud Pill Palace.

When the Rune took shape, it appeared exceptionally dim and blurry. If one looked closely, they would find that the Rune resembled a quietly growing tornado.

"Hoo..."

When the tornado-like Rune took shape, Long Jiuyyao's eyes also opened completely. The moment he opened his eyes, Long Jiuyyao could clearly feel all the movements within the Stone House, and even the patterns on the mountain wall could not escape his perception.

Long Jiuyyao observed the Natal Celestial Talisman within his Mud Pill Palace. At this moment, the Natal Celestial Talisman was suspended within it. However, the Celestial Talisman looked too blurry and dim. Long Jiuyyao would need to temper it for a long time before the Natal Celestial Talisman could be considered fully solidified.

"One-Seal Talisman Master."

Looking at the Natal Celestial Talisman within his Mud Pill Palace, Long Jiuyyao couldn't help but smile. From now on, he could be considered a formal One-Seal Talisman Master, and unlike ordinary people, his Spiritual Power capacity was at least comparable to that of a Three-Seal Talisman Master.

His combat power was also comparable to a Three-Seal Talisman Master. Those who condense a Natal Celestial Talisman can wield the great power of heaven and earth.

Seven days had long passed the halfway point when Long Jiuyyao was condensing his Natal Celestial Talisman, with only three days remaining.

Long Jiuyyao did not yet control the Gale Ancestral Rune. Firstly, the rune had just lost a wisp of its Origin and was not suitable for refining at the moment. He planned to find a place rich in wind elements within the Dragon Domain for it to grow.

Secondly, using the Gale Ancestral Rune as a template to condense a Natal Celestial Talisman would allow him to slightly control the wind power within ten zhang around him. As his Spiritual Power increased, this range would also expand, which was sufficient for his current needs.

Long Jiuyyao dispelled the ripples in his heart and turned to look at the mountain wall pattern before the Demon Breaking Dragon Halberd. This time, he did not use his body to touch it but summoned the Natal Celestial Talisman from his Mud Pill Palace.

The moment the Natal Celestial Talisman appeared, a clear breeze swept through the entire room. Under Long Jiuyyao's careful control, it glided towards the Crimson Dragon on the mountain wall.

"Buzz!"

Under Long Jiuyyao's tense gaze, the Natal Celestial Talisman gradually approached the Crimson Dragon. When the distance between them closed to just one zhang, the Natal Celestial Talisman suddenly began to tremble. The Spiritual Power in Long Jiuyyao's Mud Pill Palace was forcibly drawn away and finally merged into the mountain wall.

This sudden change startled Long Jiuyyao. He hurriedly tried to recall the Natal Celestial Talisman but was horrified to find that he had lost control of it.

Within these few breaths, flames erupted from the Crimson Dragon within the mountain wall pattern. Under Long Jiuyyao's shocked gaze, it leaped out of the mountain wall and circled above his head.

As the Crimson Dragon revived, the Dragon Halberd not far away instantly appeared before it. A pit on the Dragon Halberd flashed with red light.
