Upon arriving in the System Space, Ling Wudao shouted, "Damn system, get out here."
Ding! Host, please do not insult this system, or this system will randomly reclaim one type of talisman.
"Holy shit!"
"You're pretty smart, aren't you?"
"System, what's my proficiency now?"
Ding! The host's current proficiency is 5. Please keep up the good work.
"Why is my proficiency only 5? I used hundreds of millions of Explosion Talismans before!"
Host, those hundreds of millions of Explosion Talismans were not used by you, but by your Future Self, so you cannot gain proficiency from them.
"That's not right. My Future Self is also me, so why doesn't it count?"
Because the Future Self is the Future Self, and you are you. The two cannot be confused. Besides, only different talismans can grant proficiency.
"Fine! Then tell me, how do I condense the talismans I already have?"
Host, you only need to enter the Divine Talisman Space. The runes of the talismans you obtain will be imprinted within the Divine Talisman Space. You merely need to enter it and condense them according to the runes.
Host is reminded that condensing talismans can increase proficiency. Every talisman condensed will increase proficiency by 0.01.
"So that works too. Fine, I understand."
With that, Ling Wudao directly exited the System Space and entered the Divine Talisman Space.
The moment he stepped inside, he saw that hundreds of different runes had been carved into the space's barriers. Ling Wudao stared at them all, pondered briefly, then began condensing talismans according to the runes of the Spiritless Soul Gathering Talisman.
An unknown amount of time later, Ling Wudao slowly opened his eyes.
These talismans really were hard to condense. After several attempts, he had only managed to produce twelve. Still, they should be enough.
"System, does time flow here the same way it does outside?"
Ding! Time flows differently in the Divine Talisman Space. A million years inside are only one day outside.
Since a million years inside only amounted to one day outside, he might as well craft some of every talisman here. That would make it easier to deal with unexpected situations.
With that thought, Ling Wudao looked toward the runes of the Explosion Talisman and began crafting them.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a million years had passed. On this day, Ling Wudao awoke from his meditation.
"By now, I've condensed several million talismans here. They should be enough for a while."
"System, after crafting so many talismans, my proficiency should have leveled up, right?"
Ding! The host's current proficiency is Level 2. You may randomly obtain Great Dao Level Talismans.
Great Dao Level Talismans—that was pretty good. But he still needed the system to distribute them daily. It would be nice if he could choose the talismans he wanted.
Still, it did not matter. Since they were distributed randomly every day, he would get them eventually.
It was just that the talismans randomly distributed now were basically not very useful. They were all red-grade talismans or lower. Silver- and gold-grade ones were pitifully rare. Perhaps the system would only give higher-level talismans once his proficiency kept rising.
"Forget it. No point thinking about it. I should head out first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Wudao directly exited the Divine Talisman Space.
Outside, Nüwa, Houtu, and Xuan Ming had watched Ling Wudao remain unconscious for an entire day, and worry appeared on their faces.
Houtu said, "Nüwa, he'll be all right, won't he?"
"He should be. Maybe he needs to condense a lot of Spiritless Soul Gathering Talismans, which is why he still hasn't woken up."
"Let's wait patiently a little longer."
Just as Nüwa finished speaking, Ling Wudao, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes and gradually rose to his feet.
"What are you all discussing?"
Upon hearing this, the three women all looked toward Ling Wudao.
"You're awake. We were just worried you wouldn't wake up."
"Nüwa Empress, I was only crafting talismans for one day. What was there to worry about? Talismans aren't that easy to condense."
"I condensed twelve talismans in one day. Houtu, you already have a primordial spirit, so you can decide what to do with the extra one."
"After all, I don't have time to condense a large number of talismans right now, and condensing these things consumes a great deal of mana. If I want to condense more, I'll need a large amount of heavenly treasures."
With that, Ling Wudao directly took out twelve talismans and handed them to Houtu.
At that moment, Xuan Ming, who stood to the side, said, "Wudao, does that mean that as long as you have enough heavenly treasures, you can condense a large number of talismans?"
"Yes, but heavenly treasures aren't easy to find, and I need to have the time as well."
"For now, take these twelve talismans and use them. When I have time, I'll craft more for you."
"Fine. Then we'll talk about it when you have time. I'll condense my primordial spirit first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Ming took a talisman from Houtu's hand and poured her mana into it. "Buzz!"
The Spiritless Soul Gathering Talisman emitted a ripple before directly merging into Xuan Ming's body.
Seeing this, Xuan Ming immediately sat cross-legged and began condensing her primordial spirit.
An unknown amount of time later, Xuan Ming slowly rose from the ground, then threw her arms around Ling Wudao. "Hahaha! I condensed a primordial spirit too!"
With that, she directly kissed Ling Wudao on the cheek.
"This is your big sister's advance reward. When you have time, your big sister will serve you properly."
After saying that, Xuan Ming released him. At that moment, Ling Wudao was somewhat dazed, because when Xuan Ming had hugged him just now, her two soft breasts had been pressed tightly against his chest.
Damn it, why did you let go so quickly? Couldn't you let me feel that warmth a little longer?
Ugh! I finally got a little warmth, and you couldn't let me enjoy it a bit more.
Of course, he only thought those words to himself. Nüwa and Houtu were still there, so he could not say them aloud.
Regaining his senses, Ling Wudao said, "We can talk about serving me later. For now, take the talismans back with you."
"But remember this: condensing primordial spirits must be done inside Pangu Hall. Do not let the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun discover that you possess primordial spirits, or you will run into serious trouble."
Houtu and Xuan Ming immediately nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Then Houtu said, "Husband, we'll head back first. When you have time, you can visit our Witch Race. After all, our relationship must receive the approval of our brothers."
After saying that, Houtu's face turned as red as an apple. She then grabbed Xuan Ming's hand, and the two transformed into streaks of light before leaving.
After the two women departed, Nüwa looked at Ling Wudao with a solemn expression. "Do you truly want to become Dao Companions with Houtu and Xuan Ming?"
"Yes. I truly do want to become Dao Companions with them. Houtu will become the controller of the Earthly Dao in the future, and Hongjun will plot against her, so I must help her. With the Earthly Dao's support, dealing with Hongjun will be much easier for us."
