Cultivation: Being Immortal

Our Discord Server: .gg/PazjBDkTmW

Zhongzhou, a city called Tianxian City.

The Talisman Maker from the Qing State came and humbly visited Talisman Makers from various places. She actively participated in exchange meetings among Talisman Makers’ groups. In less than a month, she became famous in Tianxian City.

"Another ordinary day in the human world."

"There are so many extraordinary geniuses in this world. What’s wrong with having one more? Sigh."

"Chen Jingyu, a member of the Chen family from the Qing State, is only three hundred years old. She has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and she is a fifth-grade high-quality Talisman Maker. I really envy her."

After several Talisman Makers and Chen Jingyu from the Chen family in the Qing State attended the exchange meeting together, they praised her endlessly. She is another top genius in the field of Talisman Making. Her talents are not inferior to Yang Luo’s, maybe just lacking some inspiration.

"Is she really that amazing?"

Lin Jiang questioned. He hasn’t met Chen Jingyu yet, so he doubts her abilities. Yang Luo has already overshadowed the Talisman Makers in Tianxian City, and now another Chen Jingyu is coming. How can ordinary people like them survive?

"Taoist Friend Li went to meet her once, and he knew how strong Chen Jingyu is. She is unbelievable. Like Yang Luo, she is recognized as a fifth-grade Talisman Maker, but she has extensive knowledge of sixth and seventh-grade talisman techniques. She even has an eighth-grade talisman pattern on her hand."

"Is there really an eighth level talisman pattern?"

"It should be correct, she is from the Chen family, one of the four major families in the Qing State."

"Taoist Friend Li probably knows the history of the Chen family, right?"

"I know, you’re talking about Chen Chen, right?"

Lin Jiang said. The four major families in the Qing State have a history of dominating the cultivation world. This history begins after the Green Emperor’s passing, and Chen Chen is the ninth generation ancestor of the Chen family, a little later than Li Yuncheng. He even lived with the Green Emperor when he was young, and the Green Emperor praised his extraordinary talent in talisman-making.

In the following years, Chen Chen truly displayed his extraordinary talent in talisman-making, becoming the unparalleled eighth level Talisman Maker, surpassing all others in the art of talisman-making.

In today’s cultivation world, it is estimated that one-third of the talisman patterns are created by Chen Chen. Even if the four major families hide from the world, Chen Chen’s name is known throughout the land, holding the esteemed title of the ancestor of Talisman Makers.

"Yes, only they have complete eighth level talisman patterns. Other sects may have collected a small number, but nowhere near as many as the Chen family."

"Chen Jingyu probably came for Yang Luo."

"Without thinking, everyone knows that Yang Luotaoist friend is the best in literature and the second in martial arts. These past two years, their fame has spread far and wide in Tianxian City. Every symbol Dao master who comes to Tianxian City wants to defeat Yang Luo, and Chen Jingyu is no exception."

"The four families from Qing State have been renowned for many years, but they have never truly fit in with the cultivation world. They probably want to use this opportunity to break the barriers."

Lin Jiang nodded. The various sects and factions in the cultivation world have always had some grievances with the four major families of Qing State. They are neither hostile nor friendly, but it feels like they are being excluded from playing with them.

This time, Holy Heavenly Sect made a name for themselves in Tianxian City, and all the major sects were eager to befriend Yang Luo. This gave the four families of Qing State an opportunity. If Chen Jingyu can defeat Yang Luo and take their place in fame and status, the other sects will also want to befriend Qing State. Qing State can use this chance to restore friendly relations with everyone.

"Taoist Friend Li, now is a great opportunity for us to broaden our horizons and improve our abilities by interacting with talented symbol Dao masters. Don’t miss out on this chance."

"Yes, Taoist Friend Li, your talisman technique is not bad, but compared to these outstanding individuals, you still have some room for improvement. We ordinary people need to interact more with talented individuals in order to enhance our abilities."

"Yes, you’re both right."

Lin Jiang nodded. He also wanted to interact with these outstanding individuals. Everyone enjoys playing with people who are better than themselves. However, he is truly afraid of Yang Luo. This woman has grand ambitions, but Lin Jiang can try to find an opportunity to get in touch with Chen Jingyu.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Interesting, really interesting."

Yang Luo’s mansion, Yang Luo held a jade scroll and kept saying it was interesting.

"Junior sister, what did you see that’s so interesting?"

"Chen Chen’s symbol-scroll of Taoism."

"That Chen Chen from the Qing State Chen family?"

"Yes."

"Is the Chen family investing so much that they show you all his symbol-scrolls?"

"Just a fragment, do you want it all?"

"Well, in your opinion, who is more talented, you or Chen Chen?"

"It’s hard to say, it’s a pity though, such a remarkable person, but not from the same era as me."

Yang Luo said. Being a master is really lonely. There are people all over the world, but only a few who understand her. She wishes for a hero to appreciate another hero, but it’s impossible.

"So, you don’t like Chen Jingyu, according to your junior sister?"

"Well, Chen Jingyu is indeed very talented, even more talented than the Talisman Makers in Tianxian City. But her thinking is heavily influenced by the Chen family, so she is limited. No matter how hard she tries, it is difficult for her to surpass Chen Chen’s achievements. Chen Chen is like her glass ceiling. Right now, we are at similar levels, but in the future, I will definitely be better than her."

"So, will there be more comparisons in the future?"

"Why not? The Chen family wants to step on me and support Chen Jingyu. I will make them lose face."

"Junior Sister, being kind to others means we may meet in the future. We are planning to teach Qing State a lesson, but let’s not go too far and give them a little face."

"That works. Let’s listen to Senior Brother and not invite anyone else. Just let Chen Jingyu come to our residence."

After thinking for a while, Yang Luo said. Yang Xiong is right. Winning on the inside is enough, but we still need to consider their reputation. Otherwise, it will be difficult to make Qing State suffer in the future.

On the next evening, Chen Jingyu came alone to Yang Luo’s mansion. Even though it wasn’t publicly announced, people in the circle knew that Chen Jingyu had been building up excitement during this time and would definitely confront Yang Luo. So, there were a lot of people paying attention.

Therefore, Lin Jiang’s home was also bustling. Dozens of Talisman Makers visited Lin Jiang’s home because it was closest to Yang Luo, right next door.

Lin Jiang didn’t refuse these people and had Small Shadiao buy fruits, snacks, tea, and drinks to entertain them. In these two years, the secondhand information he obtained from them was already invaluable.

"Tell me, in a battle between two heroes, who will lose and who will win?"

"I bet on Yang Luo."

"I also bet on Yang Luo."

"I bet Chen Jingyu, the descendant of Chen Chen, will definitely be strong."

"Yes, I also think Chen Jingyu will win. Chen Jingyu has the complete inheritance of Chen Chen and is definitely able to win. Yang Luo is not fighting against Chen Jingyu now, but against Chen Chen."

Both of them have people who think they can win, but the reasons are different. This time, it’s a real battle between gods.

"Senior Li, what do you think?"

Lin Jiang asked Li Cai, who was actually the most skilled among them at the moment. But Li Cai was well aware that his high level was only due to his experience and longevity. When it came to creativity and such, he was already behind Yang Luo and others. When he was around a hundred years old, he didn’t have that kind of strength yet.

"Hard to say, I think it’s hard to compare."

"Well, actually, the outcome doesn’t matter to us, does it?"

"That’s not necessarily true. If Chen Jingyu wins, she might want to learn from Yang Luo and exchange experiences with the Talisman Maker from all over the world. Maybe she could even reveal some of Chen Chen’s symbol-making expertise. That would be a big gain for us."

"Exactly, who wouldn’t want to take advantage?"

"They’re all a bunch of freeloaders."

Lin Jiang complained. Yang Luo’s approach had already been selfless. If it were an ordinary Talisman Maker, they wouldn’t be willing to share their experiences with the public. Just keeping it to themselves would be considered good enough. Not to mention, many people wouldn’t even reveal their personal disciples.

"Taoist Friend Li probably doesn’t know how valuable Chen Chen’s symbol-making expertise is."

"Tell me more."

"Chen Chen created many amazing magical amulets throughout his life. Some of these amulets were incredibly powerful, so he destroyed them in his old age. But perhaps there are still some records on his magical scrolls. If we could replicate those spells, maybe it would be enough to change the entire world of magic."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Not at all exaggerated. I once read a secret book about magic, and it mentioned that Chen Chen once made an eighth-level symbol for devastating heavenly fire. When this symbol was used, it would rain down heavenly fire for thousands of miles. The fire would burn for seven days and nights, destroying everything, leaving nothing but desolation. Even a hundred years later, the land would still be barren. Just imagine, if this symbol were used in the central region, what a scene it would be."

"Wow."

Lin Jiang took a deep breath. These magical amulets were too terrifying. If just ten or so were used in Yun State, it could be completely destroyed. Even if some cultivators could escape, Yun State itself would be ruined.

"Now you know how terrifying it is. Chen Chen himself felt the same. He used this symbol on the demon clan, but if it was used on humans, it might have led to their destruction in war. That’s why he personally destroyed the pattern of this world-destroying heavenly fire amulet."

"What I heard is similar. It is said that Chen Chen suffered misfortune in his later years and often recalled the countless lives he killed. That’s why he destroyed the world-destroying heavenly fire amulet. And not only that, but there were also other very evil magical amulets."

"If it was destroyed, can it still be restored?"

"It’s hard to say. Back then, all of Chen Chen’s students were there, even though they didn’t know the talisman patterns. They had many records and Chen Chen’s written notes. Yang Luo was able to restore the Taiyi Lure Immortal Formation with these clues. Maybe she can succeed again?"

"Succeeding would be a bad thing."

Lin Jiang shook his head. As long as Yang Luo wasn’t foolish, she wouldn’t reveal these spiritual talismans publicly. If they were actually created, it would be a disaster for all of them.

Yang Luo and Chen Jingyu chatted for a day and a night. Many Talisman Makers stayed at Lin Jiang’s house for a day and a night. As soon as Chen Jingyu appeared, everyone went to observe.

"If Chen Jingyu can’t tell her expression, then she lost."

"Yes, if she won, she would at least look triumphant or have a smile. But she appears calm, which means she lost."

"Yang Luo is really amazing. She’s even better than the great geniuses from the four major families."

"What do you think, how did Yang Luo manage this? Chen Jingyu is a descendant of Chen Chen, with the heritage of many people. But what does Yang Luo have? We’ve never heard of her before."

"They say that Yang Luo has a very high position in the Holy Heavenly Sect, but it seems to be unrealistically high."

Everyone discussed and focused their attention on Yang Luo. They wondered how she had achieved such amazing talent and skills. Could she possibly be a reincarnation of a great immortal?
