"Upgrade!"
As Liang Yue gave the order, a layer of shimmering, pale white protective shield instantly rose above the small village and the surrounding towns in the settlement world.
Immediately afterward, the world outside the shield appeared as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button on a movie.
Various plants, vegetation, and flowers began to grow wildly, with branches and leaves trembling incessantly.
In the sky, the sun and moon, like two beams of gold and silver light, completed dozens of alternations in an instant!
Rain, snow, sunshine, clouds gathering and dispersing, and the surging of wind and thunder, all kinds of celestial phenomena gathered and dissipated in a flash.
The waves on the coastline, at this moment, were beating the beaches and reefs frantically, as if seized by convulsions.
In the distant forest, seeds inadvertently scattered by birds and beasts were sprouting and growing thick at a speed visible to the naked eye.
These strange phenomena stunned the people in the town, and many disciples were seeing such a sight for the first time.
In the blink of an eye, flowers bloomed and withered, and years passed in decay and prosperity.
The various experiences of wind, frost, rain, and snow were fleeting, playing out before their eyes like dream bubbles, leaving them overwhelmed and unconsciously immersed in it.
After a long time, apart from feeling complicated emotions, they couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of the power of time.
However, compared to the disciples in the town, Liang Yue didn't feel anything special at this moment, after all, he had seen such scenes several times before.
So, after waving to the group of young ladies beside him, he lightly tapped his feet, and his whole body flew into the distant sky.
In a trance, as he passed through the layer of faint protective shield outside the town, he clearly felt a strange aura, very subtle and mysterious.
Although this shield seemed dim, only carrying a faint white light, it was a full ten feet thick and slightly viscous.
Although it was only a fleeting moment for Liang Yue, his senses clearly told him that the mysteries within were worth studying carefully.
However, Liang Yue did not act immediately.
At the moment of flying out of the shield, after hesitating slightly, he continued to flee towards the direction of the World Tree.
At this time, being in the area outside the village, the flow of time in the outside world had returned to normal, and looking back at the shield, what he saw was a completely different scene.
Everything was slowed down, as if the small town shrouded in the shield had become a prison trapped by time.
...
A moment later, Liang Yue arrived at the simple room outside the World Tree Valley.
After calming his mind for a while, he took out the "Tongtian Lu" again, as well as a series of ancient books recording the art of talisman from the DC world, and began to study them carefully.
Being in the mighty river of time, Liang Yue now had plenty of time to start from the basics, step by step, to relearn the knowledge system of another field.
The art of talismans is profound and extensive~
Although he had only just started, initially reading a few ancient books in this field, Liang Yue had already deeply realized its vastness, breadth, mysteriousness, and charm!
If, in the realm of cultivators, Dao~ is the source of everything, the foundation that constitutes the heaven, earth, nature, and all things, then talismans are the words and symbols used to record and depict the Dao.
In the eyes of cultivators who practice the art of talismans, talismans~ are Dao script!
Each correct writing and drawing of a talisman is expounding the Dao and principles of this world, depicting the wonders and magnificence of the heaven and earth.
The appearance of each talisman can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth, all things, the sun, moon, stars, elements, nature, and even the Dao itself!
Just as in the eyes of mathematicians, mathematics is the foundation of all scientific research.
If you want to study natural things, the rules of heaven and earth, and the Dao of the world more systematically, the art of talismans is the simplest and clearest shortcut!
Only after establishing such a worldview can those cultivators who want to enter this field have the qualifications to learn.
Simply put, the art of talismans is a systematic, complex, and somewhat idealistic power system.
All cultivation must start from the basics, and the field of talismans is no exception.
Therefore, if Liang Yue wants to enter this field, the most direct method is to follow the example and start by copying some of the most basic and simple finished talismans in the cultivation world.
As for the basic materials used to make talismans, such as talisman paper~
In the previous bidding for the quota of the azure small tree, along with the various inheritance classics of the Daoist sects that recorded the art of talismans, the material formulas for making paper were also sent over.
Speaking of which, the making of talisman paper is also a profound knowledge, from the shallow to the deep.
Talismans of different power require the use of various materials of different specifications and grades, from ordinary plant fibers to specific spiritual materials and metals.
In the process of making some talisman paper, the talisman maker also needs to personally adjust the proportions of various materials with mental power and the smoothness of the internal structure.
Fortunately, Liang Yue is now only practicing the most basic talisman-making techniques, and the requirements for paper are not that high, so Xiao Wu can naturally take care of this aspect.
Of course, in addition to the method of making talismans with paper, advanced goods like the Tongtian Lu also involve many methods of making paper with the void and drawing talismans with spiritual power.
The advantage of this technique is that once the skill is mastered, the writing speed is fast, and there is no need to waste any materials, but the requirements for the caster are also very high.
If it involves some high-level and complex talismans, on-site production can easily involve too much of one's own energy, putting the cultivator in an awkward situation when facing the enemy.
Moreover, in Liang Yue's view, talismans are actually more like a strategic reserve~
Since it is possible to preserve a certain specific power for a long time in the form of talisman paper, then as long as there are enough quantities, when facing the enemy, you can completely play the firepower coverage flow!
What kind of target can't be solved by ten thousand talismans?
If there is, then sprinkle another ten thousand!
Sometimes, once the quantity reaches a certain limit, it can often cross the quality and produce miraculous effects~
Just like Konan in the Naruto plot, relying on her diligence and accumulation, she almost used the detonating talisman, the basic standard equipment in the ninja world, to pile up the cheating Obito!
If that prodigal little girl hadn't planned well in advance and had serious wasteful behavior, the plot of Naruto might have been rewritten because of her!
...
About a day later, after quickly reading all the ancient books and inheritance related to the art of talismans from beginning to end, so that he had a general understanding of this field.
Liang Yue couldn't wait to take out a thick stack of talisman paper, grind the cinnabar, open a page of the most basic talisman template in the secret book, and full of expectations, began to copy and draw according to the above!
