Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 859: Chapter 537: Lei Province Grand Battleground, Betting on the Fate of the Clan! (Double-Chapter)

That day, as Song Changming walked out of Yiziyuan, he saw that Cang Jishi was already wearing a disciple’s Tao robe and long coat, appearing in the Talisman Tao Institute.

”Oh? Great Elder, we meet again.” When Cang Jishi saw Song Changming again, he looked very happy.

”Congratulations.” Seeing that the other party had gotten his wish and passed the assessment to enter the Celestial Tao Academy, Song Changming couldn’t help nodding.

”Thanks to you, Elder, everything went very smoothly.” Cang Jishi cupped his hands in salute.

”Did you come to the Celestial Tao Academy to study the Talisman Tao?” Song Changming asked curiously.

The vast Celestial Tao Academy was not only proficient in the Talisman Tao; there were plenty of Martial Arts Cultivators as well, and some Qimen Dunjia and Divination and Celestial Observation Skill practitioners who were all very famous among the Human Race.

If not for this, back then Li Jinyu wouldn’t have chosen to enter this Celestial Tao Academy. He didn’t know the Talisman Tao, much less Martial Arts Cultivation; what he specialized in was precisely divination and fortune-telling.

”Not entirely.” Cang Jishi shook his head and explained.

”During the Celestial Tao Academy’s assessment, the elder said my aptitude in the Talisman Tao was Upper Vehicle, and that I also had good aptitude in divination and fortune-telling. The two can be cultivated together, and they even found two guides for me...”

”Oh? Which two?” These days, Song Changming had more or less gotten familiar in the Talisman Tao Institute, having交流 with many Talisman Masters and Disciples, mutually verifying their insights into the Talisman Tao. Both sides benefited a lot; this was far better than shutting oneself away and building cars behind closed doors.

Moreover, the Talisman Masters of the Talisman Tao Institute were not exclusionary; they only acknowledged the strength or weakness of one’s Talisman Tao.

As long as your attainment in the Talisman Tao was high enough, you would be respected here, and many people would be very willing to chat with you. Otherwise, even if your Martial Tao strength was extremely strong, you would still be looked down upon here and feel greatly neglected.

Cang Jishi shook his head. Being new here, he had yet to meet those two guides of his, so he had come to wait at the Talisman Tao Institute first.

”Greetings, Elder Song. One of them is me.” At this moment, Liu Yun walked quickly over from afar. Seemingly having heard the two’s conversation, he hurriedly cupped his hands and spoke.

”So it was you, Liu Yun. You’re the one guiding him in the Talisman Tao?” Upon hearing this, Song Changming understood.

He had dealt with this person several times during this period.

Among the younger generation, this person’s attainment in the Talisman Tao was quite outstanding. At a young age, he already had the level of a Level Five Talisman Master and had even approached the threshold of a Level Six Talisman Tao.

Having him guide Cang Jishi in the Talisman Tao was more than sufficient; it could even be considered giving Cang Jishi considerable importance.

”Yes, Elder.” Liu Yun also greatly admired Song Changming’s level in the Talisman Tao; therefore, he was very polite and respectful toward Song Changming.

”Then the other one...”

”Is me, Brother Song.” Li Jinyu rubbed his head of messy long hair and walked over with a face that clearly showed reluctance.

”I only just learned of this from the old Dean...”

As he spoke, Li Jinyu also sighed.

With his current lazy temperament, he really didn’t want to do troublesome things like taking on a newcomer.

But unfortunately, since he had offended the old Dean earlier, this matter was no longer up for discussion.

”To think it even alarmed the Sect Leader. Doesn’t that mean Young Friend Cang’s talent is quite impressive?” After hearing this, Song Changming said with some surprise.

”Mm, probably.” Li Jinyu looked at Cang Jishi.

Cang Jishi immediately paid his respects and greeted Li Jinyu, whose seniority and status were both high. Li Jinyu nodded in response.

”Alright, Brother Li, Young Friend Cang has a good temperament and won’t cause you any trouble.” Having once met by fate, Song Changming spoke a few good words for Cang Jishi to comfort Li Jinyu.

”Since even Brother Li has said so, what else can I say?” Li Jinyu had long given up struggling, taking it as simply having one more person to talk to on ordinary days.

Time passed day by day. After staying for a while in the Celestial Tao Academy, Song Changming then traveled through the Land of Three Thousand Spirit Mountains, visiting Major Sects such as the Star Pavilion and Talisman Mountain Sect in turn.

These were all authoritative places of the Human Race’s Talisman Tao. Just like the Celestial Tao Academy, each had its own research成果 on the Star Sealing Array.

Thanks to the convenience provided by Emperor Yun, these Sects were all willing to give Emperor Yun face, allowing Song Changming to obtain the research成果 on the Star Sealing Array very smoothly.

Thus, he was able, in a short period of time, to raise the completeness of the Star Sealing Array to over ten percent as he wished; this progress could be considered very fast.

This ten percent progress was the condensed effort of countless predecessors’ painstaking work.

After that, with no new research成果 to study, Song Changming’s speed of studying this level Ten Array instantly plummeted.

This was only natural.

Fortunately, with his panel, as long as he maintained the Heaven Rewards Diligence state reward every day, he could, through the act of researching and Cultivation—even if in others’ eyes it was useless work—still grind out Experience Value from it and forcibly raise the completeness.

It was just that the efficiency was very low and could only ensure that he would not remain stagnant for a long time, making a little progress every day. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

During this period, aside from the research progress on this level Ten Array, Song Changming’s attainment in the Talisman Tao also made great strides.

By meeting various High level Talisman Masters every day, he could always dig out new Spiritual Light from them, and in交流 he would often feel suddenly enlightened.

He had already begun trying to create his own Level Six Rune, just like back then Cui Bai Dao’s chief Talisman Master, Qian Yuan’s signature Rune, Celestial Light.

It was only after learning this Level Six Rune under Qian Yuan’s instruction that Song Changming truly stepped into the Domain of Level Six Talisman Masters.

Being able to independently develop High level Runes was the most remarkable skill in the eyes of Talisman Masters.

In these few Major Sects, there was no shortage of such innovative talents.

Song Changming planned that after he created his own Level Six Rune, he would use it as a foundation to further create a Level Seven Rune, allowing himself to become a Level Seven Talisman Master in one stroke.
