#795 - Talismans are Taoist texts
However, such an approach, while seemingly just simplifying things by removing unnecessary procedural parts, is actually quite troublesome to implement!
Even with Liang Yue's current realm and comprehension speed, it took him a full twenty years to achieve some results!
It's fortunate that he's currently in the River of Time, where time isn't so precious, and he's already shed the limitations of lifespan, otherwise this matter would be really troublesome~
One day, Liang Yue, having finally completed his phase of tasks, put down the pen in his hand, stretched lazily, and slowly walked out of the room.
Compared to when he first arrived, the small valley where the World Tree is located has become much more lively.
Looking up, one could see that the hills and slopes around the small valley, and even the banks of some pleasant streams, had been quietly filled with many houses.
The inside of the valley, however, remained untouched, as it was tacitly regarded as the World Tree's growing grounds.
Now, nourished by a massive amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy, the land where the World Tree was rooted has been completely transformed, turning from fertile soil into a pool of spiritual liquid containing iridescent light.
At the edge of this spiritual liquid pool, a gentle protective shield has been erected.
This is due to the World Tree's instinct, not any privately arranged supernatural power; no one can approach it except for Liang Yue and those with villager status.
Outside the small valley, the areas closest to the center are occupied by a group of young ladies.
They have now built their houses nearby, vaguely encircling the entire valley, and each manages a small area for living and seclusion.
Then, by analogy, a little further out are the residences of Liang Yue's disciples, arranged according to seniority, as well as his friends like Sam, Peter, and Gwen.
Frankly speaking, such a small difference in distance makes no difference in terms of spiritual energy resources; it only reflects a symbolic status…
After cultivating for more than twenty years, Teacher Jingxiang, Senior Saeko, Hinata, Xiao Zhao, and others are no longer what they used to be.
However, fortunately, the women are not in a hurry now, and they don't mind waiting another decade or two; there's plenty of time anyway.
Calming down, grinding slowly, and constantly making up for one's own shortcomings is the right way to go.
In addition to this, the young ladies don't have any selfish ideas; after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, they felt a great improvement in their cultivation and have once again taken up the responsibility of being elders of the sect.
They have summoned their disciples and begun to explain some of their cultivation insights and realm experiences to them.
For those personal disciples belonging to their respective factions, they are even more conscientious, selectively teaching some of the key points about the Qi-Gathering Lotus.
Liang Yue, on the other hand, didn't actively explain any cultivation problems to his disciples, but fortunately, he has Bao Yun…
This personal disciple of his is indeed a genius; relying solely on his own exploration and understanding, he has managed to figure out the Qi-Gathering Lotus method.
Before, he could even turn around and explain it to Senior Saeko and the others; he hardly needs to worry about anything in terms of cultivation.
After finishing his own practice, he can also help him teach.
Even Liang Yue's personal disciples have gradually gotten on the right track under the guidance of this senior brother, Bao Yun.
Truly a good disciple~
Of course, compared to the women around him and his disciples and grand-disciples, Liang Yue's gains in these twenty years are naturally also quite significant!
Simplifying the talismans, Dao talismans, and other Daoist symbols in hand is not a simple task; it also involves a series of complex issues.
For example, correctly recognizing which of the existing talisman Dao texts are truly effective, which are deliberately placed but more like formalism, and what their respective roles are.
Which are responsible for conduction, assistance, and description, and which are the leading parts.
In the process of this deletion and extraction, Liang Yue can naturally understand the differences and specific effects more deeply and intuitively.
Allowing him to grasp the power of talismans more clearly and definitively!
Now, after twenty years, he has finally found what he needs in these thousands of talisman templates!
……
At this time, Liang Yue was quietly sitting cross-legged in an open space in front of the wooden house.
A stout oak tree, tens of meters high, stood to the side, and as the breeze blew, the dense branches and leaves gently rubbed against each other, making rustling sounds.
Seemingly unintentionally, a few strands of Liang Yue's dark and neat hair were suddenly raised, and then they began to write around him like paintbrushes.
The strands of hair danced very quickly, yet without any disorder.
Every movement, every transition, could sow a trace of mana imprint in the void, and it was scattered just right.
Using purple-gold mana as ink, writing out mysterious characters that were both similar and dissimilar.
Some were as simple as a child's handwriting, while others were so complex that they were dazzling.
But this does not resemble the traditional Daoist runes and talismans, but rather, they are somewhat similar to the oracle bone inscriptions and witchcraft characters of more ancient times!
After each Dao text is formed, it will automatically float there like a special imprint, rippling tiny ripples in the void.
After a while, Liang Yue's surroundings were filled with these dense purple-gold talismans, and hundreds of talismans were written.
This is the result of his twenty years!
Although it seems small, the effect is extraordinary!
These seemingly only a few hundred Dao texts are all carefully selected by Liang Yue after multiple comparisons and eliminations, and each one is precious!
To put it bluntly, this is actually the most basic component of the talisman path.
Like the one, two, three, four, five in the field of mathematics, and the twenty-six letters of the English language!
As long as they are used properly, they can exert amazing effects!
However, it can also be seen from this point that Liang Yue is currently in the initial stage of understanding in the field of talisman research.
Although he has already memorized all the talisman classics and Dao talisman templates that were given as gifts by various Daoist branches in the DC world, and he can communicate with the power of heaven and earth with a wave of his hand.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg compared to Liang Yue's vision of true talisman research!
With these basic talismans, what he has to do next is to continuously innovate, superimpose, and combine them to research more advanced and even composite talisman works.
In addition, he must also take heaven and earth as his teacher, combine his own understanding and comprehension of the rules of the world, and use the power of talismans to model various natural phenomena, the power of heaven and earth, and even more profound rules!
Simply put, it is to use these basic talismans as words to depict the poems and articles of heaven and earth.
This is Liang Yue's current idea and plan in this talisman path~
