Chapter 1241 - 609: Pulling Strings (Part 2)
Just by looking at the question, the sun in the sky corresponds to the Heavenly Phenomenon Talisman. The deep pool appearing can correspond to the Earth Vein Talisman. Vermilion Mercury in fire is true water, and Water Silver in water is true fire, which corresponds to attributes. Lead and mercury dragons and tigers seem to correspond to the Alchemy Furnace. Water and fire in harmony, Kan water on top, Li fire below, is the hexagram image. At first glance, it seems like several talismans could be uncovered.
But if you take it lightly by following the face of the question, needless to say, it would definitely explode in an instant with thunder and fire intertwined. Because these two lines are actually the fundamentals of the Inner Elixir Technique, the summary of the "Enlightenment Chapter", which speaks of,
Medicine meets the essence to form an image, the Dao in Xi Yi aligns with nature. A single Spirit Pill swallowed into the stomach, only then you know your destiny is not ruled by heaven.
Therefore, you should uncover the Cave Scripture Talisman.
It’s quite difficult to understand, isn’t it? Not understanding is correct; if you understood, wouldn’t you have attained enlightenment? Ahem, in short, this level is difficult because although entering the array change requires profound arithmetic to solve, the final question is not arithmetic, but an ancient Taoist sect’s verse that has vanished from the mortal world, rarely found in the mountains, emphasizing wit, Zen, seeming to understand yet not, mysterious and profound, with the Dao hidden in the heart, understood with the mind, with no standard answer.
So, you have to guess based on the questioner’s intent. In layman’s terms, you have to take the exam according to the standard answers in the question bank. Whatever they say is the answer is the answer. If you obstinately argue, no matter how reasonable, they’d counter with a thunderous explosion, and you have nowhere to reason out.
Yes, that’s why they say Lingxu is an old bastard. Did you really think this is an exam? This array is set here to trap people! He traps you and then flaunts his knowledge to disgust you!
Therefore, when Lingxu says the answer is Cave Scripture, it’s Cave Scripture.
Thus, Chen Xuantian swiftly opened the scroll and answered, copying from the book, returning with a bunch right away.
"Are you picking peaches!?"
The Old Xuan Sect’s eyes almost popped out. But rubbing his eyes, he saw that the bundle of Daoist talismans wasn’t fake.
It had to be real because if there was a mistake, it would have exploded in an instant with thunder and fire intertwined a long time ago.
Chen Xuantian handed the talismans to everyone, pointing out,
"This is the Eight Palace Talisman Guardian, using the four talismans of Heaven, Earth, Human, and Object to guard the Zhen, Li, Dui, and Kan true palaces. Using the four talismans of Time, Hexagram, Elixir, and Cave to guard the Gen, Xun, Kun, and Qian four palaces. Using Spirit to illuminate the inner scene, defending the central palace. This is the Eight Talismans in Position, form and spirit combined, the Eight Palaces complete, each at their position.
This is the most top and righteous method of talisman defense. If the Eight Palaces are not broken and the Eight Talismans not seized, the central palace will not be lost. Later, there will be Eight Talismans Body Protection and Eight Palaces Guarding the Body, and then you can pass through."
Cloud Deer curiously asked,
"Fellow Daoist, if this Eight Talismans Guardian is so powerful, why have I never heard of it?"
Chen Xuantian shrugged,
"Old methods, hard to refine and draw, and they burn eight at once, with incense burning out quickly, so no one uses them. Of course, you must have heard of it, only the Mystic Sect changed its name for teaching, so you didn’t react in time. Think about what else starts with ’Eight’."
Cloud Deer, with some comprehension, realized it.
"Eight Talismans, Eight Palaces... Eight Domains?"
Chen Xuantian nodded,
"The Eight Vassal Immortal Army of the Immortal Palace, each has a military flag, with these eight talismans drawn on it. During the crusade against the Ancient Spirit Clan, this array was prepared for the army’s battle.
Unless their generals are slain, their banners captured, their army broken, and the Eight Domains completely destroyed, the central army will not be compromised. So as long as the Eight Vassal Immortal Army’s inheritance remains, the Immortal Palace will not perish.
The Hu Temple of the Mystic Sect was originally a legacy from the rebel Immortal Army, and these talismans and arrays are the military strategies of that time."
Huqian Mountain Man, this old Mystic Sect, listened with interest and said,
"Such an obscure Daoist skill, I haven’t touched it for so long, yet Fellow Daoist knows it so well? You’re the real deal Mystic Sect."
Chen Xuantian shrugged, that Lingxu was the one who commanded and arranged the army back then, so how could he not be familiar with it?
"In any case, although this talisman defense is powerful, it only lasts for an incense’s time of invincibility, and each talisman is of Divinity Transformation Level. Eight talismans activated together consume a great amount of Spiritual Qi, so everyone first take Nourishing Essence Pill, then supplement with a Power Pill, and hold half of it under your tongues, swallow slowly with saliva, guide Qi slowly, and step in my footprints to follow me into the array."
This array, so profound and dangerous, was effortlessly settled by Chen Xuantian with a flick of his sleeve, leaving no one unconvinced. So everyone followed orders, calmed their breath, took the pills, activated the Eight Talismans Body Protection, and one by one stepped on the ink-like footprints of Chen Xuantian, crossing the fourth array.
Well, smoothly, again, to the fifth...
"Boom boom boom!" "Da da da!" "Bang bang bang!" "Kuang kuang kuang!"
"Oh shit! The firepower’s intense! The protection! Protection is breaking!" "What the hell is this!" "Ancient Insect Swarm! How can there be so many Ancient Insect Swarms!"
Well, it’s not possible to jump through all the way from start to finish without shortcuts. Moreover, a cunning old ghost like Lingxu setting a lamp besides handing out Eight Talismans Guardian obviously serves a purpose.
Thus, the fifth trial directly transports you into a company-arranged insect clan great array, surrounded from all directions by tank turrets, soldier ants, soldier bees, and iron spiders, launching fierce attacks all around, crossfire washing the ground, raging bombardment blasting wildly, gunfire storm, rapid-firing artillery, plasma bombs and plasma, directly filling all attributes with damage just fighting!
"Charge forward! In narrow alleys, the brave wins! Fight if you must, no hesitation! Put in a desperate situation and then seek life! Everyone grab your weapons and follow me!"
At this moment, Chen Xuantian is not timid, charging forward with a howl all the way. Seeing their younger brother so brave, the other three also displayed their full skills, Dharma Transformation, howling as they launched an assault, charging through the gunfire to start a fight.
