Chapter 574 Heavenly Talisman (First Update)
The nine districts of Tianjiao City were like concentric circles, expanding outwards and becoming larger, but the buildings inside were taller and more magnificent. The population was even denser than the larger outer areas.
The streets of the Seventh District were still wide, but there were no carriages running on the streets anymore. No one, not even princes and dukes, could ride horses here.
People relied on the fa chariot that stretched across all the main streets of the entire district.
"The fa chariot is engraved with array patterns and talismans, powered by the earth's veins and the city's fortune, running day and night, capable of carrying countless people."
An Qisheng strolled through the streets. Tall buildings stood on both sides, far more prosperous than the Eighth and Ninth Districts. Beside him, the Fourteenth Princess introduced the city.
"My Tianding City doesn't use gold and silver as currency, nor does it use the elixirs of the three holy lands. We use the Tianding Pill developed by my father as currency, but that's only one. There's also a second type that was once introduced..."
As she spoke, the Fourteenth Princess took out a palm-sized talisman.
The talisman was drawn on white paper, with clear but sparse lines. It didn't contain much spiritual energy and didn't look very valuable.
"Talisman?"
An Qisheng took the talisman and, after a slight sense, knew its use.
'Illumination'.
"The law is for the people. My father has always been looking for a balance between ordinary people and cultivators. Similar talismans are developed by the 'Yan Fa Stage'. They are not complicated, and even ordinary people can master them."
The Fourteenth Princess tapped her finger, and the talisman in An Qisheng's palm lit up with a soft glow: "This light can be controlled. If it's only used at night, it can last for a month. The 'Yan Fa Stage' is still being improved to further lower the threshold and extend the illumination time."
"Not bad."
An Qisheng's eyes flickered slightly. This talisman was naturally not very complicated, but the idea was good.
Whether it was Jiu Fu Realm or the Human Realm, whether it was inner strength or magic power, it had nothing to do with ordinary people. Even if he promoted things like 'armor cars' in the Human Realm, ordinary people could not make them.
But this talisman could.
Because it was simple, it was possible.
Although it was only a prototype at this time, if he continued along this path, he might be able to develop a path that truly benefited the entire human race.
"It's not just illumination, is it?"
An Qisheng extinguished the light at will, and with a slight sense, he could feel a wisp of subtle spiritual energy entering his body.
This spiritual energy was insignificant to him, even less than one percent of a True Form Pill, but it really existed.
It was another different path.
"Yes, its spiritual energy can be absorbed like elixir energy!"
The Fourteenth Princess said, but then became a little黯然: "Unfortunately, it can only be used in Tianjiao City..."
The world had changed drastically. Even cultivators could not absorb spiritual energy and could only use elixirs to guide their cultivation and temper their bodies. Before condensing the blessed land, no one could absorb spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth.
They could only replace it by refining many spiritual plants and herbs into elixirs.
Emperor Tianding had tried for thousands of years, and only Tianjiao City could barely use it, making it difficult to promote it to the world.
"There is also a solution to this matter. Ordinary paper has no spiritual energy, and cinnabar is not a spiritual material. Naturally, it needs to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But if it is replaced with talisman paper refined from spiritual plants and herbs, and combined with spiritual liquid..."
An Qisheng's heart moved slightly.
He felt that this path was not impossible.
"My father naturally has this idea too, but in this way, the threshold for drawing talismans is greatly increased, and the cost is also greatly increased. Without a low threshold and流通性, it is meaningless."
The Fourteenth Princess shook her head.
If this matter were easy to solve, they would have already solved it in the past thousand years. Emperor Tianding had tried countless times in the past thousand years.
"The difficulty lies in the drastic changes in the world."
An Qisheng naturally knew this principle, and he also vaguely understood what Emperor Tianding was waiting for.
He was waiting for the world to change again, and the great fortune accumulated over countless years to flourish again. At that time, all his ideas and guesses might become reality.
And then be able to travel the world.
But he was still not optimistic. At this time, the drastic changes in the world put a lot of pressure on ordinary people, but the greatest pressure was still on cultivators.
Today, the world is suppressed, and it is difficult to be conferred as a Marquis or a King, but after the world changes drastically, it is conceivable that there will inevitably be a great world where the various kings compete for hegemony.
At that time, the many holy land sects will also usher in a huge leap, becoming more powerful and unshakable.
"The world does not allow it, what can be done?"
The Fourteenth Princess shook her head, feeling a little down.
"If this talisman can be drawn by everyone, Emperor Tianding's actions will be of great merit."
An Qisheng put away the talisman.
A single spark can start a prairie fire. Ordinary people's pursuit of cultivation has never stopped since ancient times. It is conceivable that if after the drastic changes in the world, Emperor Tianding is conferred as a Marquis or even a King in one fell swoop, suppressing the entire Eastern Continent.
If he then opens the way with this method, it will inevitably cause a shocking earthquake. I am afraid that the ordinary people in the Jingzhao area of the entire Eastern Continent will go crazy.
Even in Xuanxing, which has no spiritual energy, I don’t know how many people are pursuing longevity and the future. Not to mention a world with a future and longevity?
At this time, he also understood the reason for Emperor Tianding's 'great calamity'.
"There are many similar things. Originally, these were all unpassed secrets, because I was afraid of causing shocks in the Eastern Continent, but now that the major holy lands already know about it, there is no need to hide it."
The Fourteenth Princess twirled a strand of long hair at her temple, looked at An Qisheng and said: "Didn't sir ask what my father did? You can come and take a look with me."
Since she agreed to enter the 'Zhu Wang Platform', the Fourteenth Princess's attitude has improved.
"I would like to."
An Qisheng nodded slightly, but his eyes skipped over the long street and settled on a young man.
That was a tall, fair-skinned young man wearing black armor and holding a long halberd. He stood at the end of the long street, and an invisible肃杀 aura permeated the long street.
Buzz~
Faintly, the entire long street vibrated.
On the long street, from large buildings to every small floorboard, and even wild grasses and flowers, were all glowing with light, containing but not emitting, as if it caused the entire long street to vibrate.
As the formation moved slightly, the void of this long street seemed to be materialized. It seemed that this long street had long been integrated with the heaven and earth, and could not be shaken.
"It's Fang Lingxu, the true disciple of the Lingtian Sect!"
The long street was chaotic for a moment, and someone had already recognized who this person was.
Suddenly, there was an uproar.
The Lingtian Sect was one of the top ten sects in the Eastern Continent, but unlike the Wanfa Building's wide open mountain gate, the Lingtian Sect had very few people. There were no inner or outer sects, only true disciples.
Each generation had twelve true disciples, all of whom were geniuses.
And this Fang Lingxu was also a legendary figure. It was said that he was born with异象, and even异宝 came to投, so he was a person with great luck, and was the number one true disciple of the Lingtian Sect three hundred years ago.
It was rumored that he was a genius and had already condensed the blessed land, and faintly had the strength to compete for the first true disciple of the Lingtian Sect for thousands of years.
He had a very high status in the Lingtian Sect, and there were even rumors that he had been internally decided to be the掌教 of the Lingtian Sect.
"It is said that this Fang Lingxu was chosen by the Underworld Moon Holy Land as a Taoist companion for Xuanji."
The Fourteenth Princess calmly introduced this person to An Qisheng, but she was not worried that this person would dare to take action in Tianjiao City.
"Lingtian Sect."
An Qisheng nodded, his expression as usual.
He had offended several of the top ten sects in the Eastern Continent, and he didn't care about having one more Lingtian Sect.
"Yuanyang Daoist!"
Fang Lingxu was covered in black armor, his expression indifferent with a hint of coldness, and a undisguised murderous intent: "Where is Xuanji?"
"Yuanyang Daoist! Half a year ago, a master was born out of nowhere and suppressed many elders and true disciples of several major sects in one fell swoop. Even the Xuanji Fairy of the Underworld Moon Holy Land was suppressed by him! Could it be him?"
"It must be him! It is said that Fang Lingxu was chosen by the Underworld Moon Holy Land as a Taoist companion for the Xuanji Fairy. He came to the door, how can it be fake?"
"This Yuanyang Daoist is really bold! He dares to offend several major sects and holy lands. I'm afraid his end is worrying!"
Hearing the name 'Yuanyang Daoist', everyone watching on the long street and in the tall buildings on both sides was in an uproar.
If asked who was the most famous person these days, without a doubt, it was this Yuanyang Daoist.
At this time, hearing this name, they all looked towards the end of the long street, and countless eyes all fell on An Qisheng.
Some were amazed, some were shocked.
There were too few people who dared to offend the宗门圣地, let alone this Yuanyang Daoist who had offended the Wanfa Building, Jingyang Mountain, Taiyi Sect, and several other sects, and had also offended the Underworld Moon Holy Land!
"I heard that you are wholeheartedly seeking the Tao and do not like Taoist companions. Isn't it just right for you that Xuanji fell into my hands?"
An Qisheng indifferently looked at the black armored youth at the end of the long street.
This Fang Lingxu's aura was tyrannical. He had formed the blessed land three hundred years ago, and his talent was no less than that of the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince was nearly a thousand years old, and his aura was much stronger than him.
He didn't care about the Fourth Prince's aura, so naturally he didn't care about his imposing manner.
The Fourteenth Princess was naturally even more fearless.
But the two of them didn't care, but the people on the long street couldn't stand it. Seeing that the two sides were at daggers drawn, they retreated one after another.
"I am ambitious for the大道, and have no intention of男女之事, but my people, I don't want it, I can."
Fang Lingxu's long halberd was on the ground, his expression indifferent with arrogance:
"Others, cannot touch!"
"You are really overbearing!"
The Fourteenth Princess frowned: "Who do you think you are? A prince?"
She didn't like Xuanji, but she didn't like the霸道 in Fang Lingxu's tone.
"The great changes in the world are coming, and I will become the first Marquis, the first King in the Eastern Continent, inviting heroes to fight, competing for the Central Plains, and asking for the throne."
Fang Lingxu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the overwhelming murderous aura had already filled the sky, like the arrival of winter, with cold winds roaring and dancing wildly.
In an instant, it swept towards the Fourteenth Princess like a tide:
"A waste who relied on the remaining shade of his father to become化体, dares to talk nonsense with me?"
His eyes seemed to contain endless terrifying murderous intent and contempt. With one look, he shook the long street.
In fact, great powers have great powers, and every move can kill people.
Eyes can also kill people!
The pedestrians who had retreated on both sides of the long street felt cold in their hearts, as if a sharp sword was in their chest, and couldn't help but be shocked.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Buzz~
A divine light bloomed on the Fourteenth Princess, and she suddenly broke free from the endless murderous aura.
"How dare you!"
She didn't expect Fang Lingxu to be so overbearing that he dared to attack her in Tianjiao City, and she was also furious.
Her hands turned the magic formula, and she seemed to be about to trigger the formation of the entire Tianjiao City to suppress him.
Fang Lingxu raised his eyebrows slightly and watched coldly:
"I want to see if this Tianjiao City can do anything to me!"
Pa~
But at this moment, a palm fell on her shoulder.
Buzz~
In an instant, the ice and snow melted, and the murderous aura in the sky seemed to dissipate with it.
"The people of the Lingtian Sect are more fierce and domineering than those of the Underworld Moon Holy Land."
An Qisheng naturally had no reason to hide behind a woman. He said indifferently, and walked in front of the Fourteenth Princess, facing Fang Lingxu:
"I took the person, what do you want?"
