Indeed, runes can become ineffective after the Rules of Heaven and Earth change.
However, these changes are not absolute, because even in different alternate dimensions, many basic rules are the same, and the more similar the rules of a dimension are to those of the Pan Emperor Continent, the less influence it will have on his runes.
"It seems that when creating new Rune Artifacts in the future, we need to consider issues such as dimensional compatibility and fault tolerance more."
With his experience exploring other dimensions, Chen Mu immediately came up with many ways to solve the problem of rune failure. In fact, he had already taken the issue of rune failure into account in the rune products he had made in recent years; otherwise, his Rune Puppet Flying Car would not have been partially disabled, but completely useless.
However, he used to rely purely on his own guesses, but now that he has firsthand experience, it has been of great help to his subsequent research.
"The foundation of runes is the Rules of Heaven and Earth. As long as the Rules of Heaven and Earth in the new plane are deciphered and the runes are adjusted accordingly, the rune effects should also be restored."
As Chen Mu thought this, he reached out and a rune rose up in the center of his palm.
This is the Water Condensation Talisman, the first low-level rune he mastered, and also one of the runes he was most familiar with and understood most thoroughly.
However, at this moment, the rune was dim and had clearly lost its effect.
"The function of the Water Condensation Talisman is to condense the water-elemental Spiritual Power in the air into pure water. However, this plane does not have any rules for the generation of Spiritual Power, so this talisman is naturally ineffective."
Chen Mu's right eye shone with a deep light, Biological Intelligent Brain within his sea of consciousness operated at full power, carefully analyzing the rules existing in the surrounding environment.
"Although the environment here is very different from that of the Pan Emperor Continent, the air still contains particles that can form water. Using Talisman Particle as a medium, these particles can be guided to combine, thus restoring the effect of the Water Condensation Talisman."
Chen Mu combined the cultivator's ability to perceive the world and nature with the computational ability of the Auxiliary Intelligence Brain, these two different crystallizations of civilization, to analyze the rules of this plane, directly producing a world-changing effect.
He moved his hands back and forth, slowly adjusting the structure of the Water Condensation Talisman in his hands. After a while, the light of the Water Condensation Talisman gradually brightened.
"Condense!"
With a soft shout, pure water gradually condensed around the Water Condensation Talisman in his hand, but the water droplets were trapped in mid-air and did not fall to the ground.
When Fan Jing, who was protecting the Dharma on the side, saw Chen Mu's actions, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"How... how is this possible?"
Chen Mu had no idea how incredible the thing he had accomplished was.
The Tomb of the Gods is a cursed place where creatures can only obtain water from the bodies of other creatures. Chen Mu's current actions completely shatter the common sense of this plane.
Seeing that his guess had been confirmed, Chen Mu was very happy. He put away the Water Condensation Talisman and drank all the pure water that had just been condensed.
"Hmm! It tastes good."
He was in a great mood, then turned to see Fan Jing staring blankly to the side, and looked puzzled.
"Brother Fan Jing, I have basically adapted to the environment of this plane."
Now you should tell me what you're looking for, right?
On the way to the Tomb of the Gods, Fan Jing refused to reveal what he was looking for. Chen Mu guessed that Fan Jing was probably worried about the news leaking out.
Now that they have arrived at their destination, if Fan Jing doesn't reveal anything, the exploration mission obviously can no longer continue.
"No rush! Chen Mu, what was the method you used to condense the pure water just now? Could you tell me a little about it?"
Fan Jing's attention was completely drawn to what had just happened. Although he could tell that Chen Mu had used runes to condense pure water, he couldn't understand how he had done it.
This wasn't the first time he'd encountered a talisman master in the Tomb of the Gods, but he'd never seen one do this before. Chen Mu seemed increasingly unfathomable to him.
"This is a Water Condensation Talisman! Although it failed at first, I adjusted it according to the rules of this new plane, and it regained its effect."
Chen Mu shrugged and explained casually.
"You managed to localize a rune in such a short time?"
"That's right! Modification rune texts are what I excel at."
Chen Mu looked very confident. With the help of Biological Intelligent Brain, he possessed super data storage and computing capabilities, making him truly exceptional in Rune Modification.
Fan Jing fell silent; he found Chen Mu increasingly unfathomable.
As far as he knew, if other talisman masters wanted to localize a talisman here, it would take at least ten days to half a month, not to mention it would put a huge strain on their minds. But judging from Chen Mu's case, it was completely effortless. No wonder he was able to create a Water Condensation Talisman that had no combat power.
Even if other rune masters have time, they will only modify runes that can help with reconnaissance and combat, and will never modify a Water Condensation Talisman that has no combat power. After all, as long as high-level cultivators have energy, it doesn't matter whether they drink water or not.
Moreover, the rules related to matter in the Tomb of the Gods are extremely chaotic; in any case, Fan Jing has never seen pure water in this plane.
" Chen Mu, you just said you've adapted to the environment here. So, how much of your strength can you exert now?"
Generally speaking, cultivators who enter the Tomb of the Gods for the first time can only exert less than 30% of their strength after adapting to the local environment. As time goes by, as cultivators gradually integrate into the rules here, their strength can gradually recover.
Even though Fan Jing has visited the Tomb of the Gods so many times, he can only unleash less than 50% of his strength so far.
"Probably only about 30%! The main problem is that many of my methods are no longer usable after the Rules of Heaven and Earth changed."
The core of the Battle Talisman Master System is runes; when runes become ineffective, his combat power will naturally be affected.
However, the physical properties solidified by the runes will not change, such as physical strength and Dharma Power power.
The reason why their strength cannot be fully utilized is mainly because they cannot draw upon external resources.
Besides talisman cultivators, demon beast cultivators, martial arts cultivators, and soul cultivators also rely heavily on World Power when they reach higher realms, so their strength will also be severely weakened.
"Thirty percent of that is truly a privilege!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Jing couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. When he first came here, he could only unleash 20% of his strength.
Cross-dimensional adaptability is a term used only by high-level cultivators who frequently travel between different dimensions. This is because the rules of the Heavenly Dao often differ between different dimensions, so those with strong cross-dimensional adaptability can better utilize their strength in different dimensions.
The Tomb of the Gods is a plane whose rules of Heavenly Dao are extremely unfriendly, so those with poor cross-dimensional adaptability may not be able to unleash even 10% of their strength when they first enter.
The fact that Fan Jing was able to retain 20% of its original assets demonstrates its excellent cross-industry adaptability.
Chen Mu's current performance has clearly reached the highest level.
