This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 656: Chapter 441: Did Brother Long Commit Suicide?

On February 10, 2024, the fourth day of Lunar New Year.

Xu Yang walked out of his villa, flew out of Wu City, and arrived above the Yellow River.

He dove into the water, sinking to the bottom, and activated his heavenly power, forming an underwater space about 30 meters long, wide, and approximately 5 meters high at the bottom of the river.

Hum!

With a thought from Xu Yang, a dazzling immortal light bloomed from his internal rules of Immortal Daoist, permeating his body and eventually transforming into layers of Daoist formations, laid outside this underwater space.

The 108 divine powers that Xu Yang had mastered in the 36 Malevolent-Deity Skills and 72 Earth Devils Skill had long been transformed into 108 specific rules of the Immortal Daoist, and now the “divine power talisman” had become equivalent to the rules of the Immortal Daoist, with even stronger power.

Layers of Daoist formations made the underwater space very stable.

Xu Yang then took out ten bundles of talisman paper, and using his fingers as a knife, he cut each bundle into ten equal parts.

He took out an office desk, a chair, a brush for drawing talismans, and poured out talisman ink from an ink tank, and started making talismans.

Instead of immediately practicing the Twenty-Four Ranks of Daoist Talismans of the Zhengyi Mengwei, Xu Yang first practiced the Wulei Talisman.

Since becoming an immortal, with his increasingly profound perception of the rules of the Thunderbolt, ordinary talisman paper could no longer bear the power of the Wulei Talisman. The Wulei Talismans he had made at home were like a castrated version.

It was only by deliberately controlling the power that Xu Yang managed to produce them, and with the blessing of the Supreme Purification Seal, they barely reached the power level of the heavenly realm.

But now it was different.

With this higher-grade talisman paper and ink, Xu Yang was confident that he could create stronger Wulei Talismans, which could reach the late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm power, even if they were not at the peak!

In any case, Xu Yang believed that the use of talismans should focus on winning with numbers.

Soon.

A Wulei Talisman was made.

On the Daoist talisman, flashes of lightning flickered and lingered for a long time before converging.

Xu Yang then took out the “Supreme Purification Seal” and stamped the Daoist talisman.

When the talisman ink dried, Xu Yang picked up the Wulei Talisman to carefully sense the power within it. Shaking his head with disappointment, he said, “After the blessing of the Supreme Purification Seal, this Wulei Talisman has power comparable to the mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm, but it is still far worse than I expected. It seems that after becoming an immortal, I haven’t fought enough, and my control of power is not yet proficient.”

Any cultivator.

Whether it’s a Daoist practitioner or a warrior, they all have different levels of control over their own power.

Only by perfectly controlling their own power can they unleash their strongest fighting strength.

Of course.

Perfect control of one’s own power doesn’t necessarily require accumulating experience through countless battles. For Xu Yang, drawing talismans is also a way to familiarize himself with his own power, and this approach is more efficient than repeatedly fighting.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yang began painting Wulei Talismans again.

As each Daoist talisman was successfully drawn and piled up beside the desk, they soon overflowed onto the floor.

In Xu Yang’s mind, he recalled Zhang Daoling’s insights on “talisman techniques” recorded in The Twenty-Four Ranks of Daoist Talismans of the Zhengyi Mengwei and Zhang Jiyu’s insights and experiences on “talisman techniques”.

“In talisman techniques, the symbol head serves as an order.”

“Different symbol heads represent different powers that can be summoned.”

“According to Zhang Jiyu, before making some powerful Daoist talismans, he had to take a bath, burn incense, chant sutras, and be sincere in order to summon certain forces between heaven and earth…”

The power of a Daoist talisman does not solely come from itself.

There are mysterious forces in the world that can be summoned to assist the talisman, which may come from “ghosts and gods” or “immortal beings”. It naturally requires sincerity to summon these forces.

This is similar to “Summoning Deities.”

However, Xu Yang’s case was different.

From learning to draw talismans to now, he didn’t fully understand the divisions between “symbol head”, “symbol gallbladder” and the like, and had always been merely imitating and copying.

“What is the reason for this?”

“Is it because I am special, and those ghosts and gods and immortals are willing to lend me their power?”

Xu Yang could only explain it that way.

He didn’t bother to understand the meanings of “symbol head”, “symbol gallbladder”, and “symbol foot”, and began to devote himself to making Wulei Talismans. As he successfully drew more and more Wulei Talismans, his control over his own power gradually improved.

With his increasing control, the power contained in the Wulei Talismans he made continued to grow, eventually allowing him to create a powerful Wulei Talisman that could deliver a blow comparable to that of a late-stage Heavenly Immortal at full strength.

He didn’t stop there but continued to make Wulei Talismans. Two whole days and nights later, Xu Yang had successfully made more than 120,000 Wulei Talismans.

He kept more than 70,000 for himself and put the remaining 50,000 into a storage ring to give to Niu Mang, so that Niu Mang could follow Lord Thunder and the other seventy-two immortals on a journey to the three major realms!

Niu Mang was already his pet and could help him earn merit points.

Now, by sending these 50,000 Wulei Talismans to deal with the Netherworld Demons along with Niu Mang, he could naturally earn even more merit.

This was the main reason why Xu Yang asked the seventy-two immortals, including Lord Thunder, to wait for him for seven days.

Next, Xu Yang began to study the Exorcism Talisman.

“The Exorcism Talisman is primarily used for attacking and killing. This talisman is based on the rules of sword Dao, and then integrates a large amount of pure Yang energy. Once activated, it can release ninety-nine pure Yang sword auras to slay malevolent beings…”
