Chapter 754: New Talisman Development

More importantly, when faced with mortal danger, a Martial Dipper Realm expert would be able to sacrifice the clone to stay alive!

However, with Shang Xia’s way of cultivation, he refined fate dipper essences rather than Origin Dippers... His way of cultivation greatly lowered the barrier of entry to the Martial Dipper Realm (Disregarding the fact that he required 10 different types of fate dipper essences), but made it such that possessing his own Fate Dipper Clone was going to be really difficult.

With Shang Xia’s current way of training where he ensured the balance of all 5 elements and their yin yang alignment in his body, he would probably have to refine 100 strands of fate dipper essence before there was any hope of that happening.

Of course, in theory, when that happened, he would be able to separate 9 Fate Dipper Clones from himself and enter the large completion stage of the Five Elements Realm.

The process would be excruciatingly long, and if he was unable to separate a Fate Dipper Clone during that time, he would be much more vulnerable compared to Martial Dipper Realm experts at the same level. The dangers he would face would be several times more than others.

In order to make up for the weaknesses, Shang Xia could only rely on the Substitution Talisman.

It was a shame a Substitution Talisman was much more difficult to craft than the Abyssal Emptiness Talisman. He might only own 2 rank five talisman inheritances, but he had a feeling that the difficulty of crafting a Substitution Talisman was up there along with the most difficult of rank five talismans.

He succeeded in crafting 2 Substitution Talismans back then, but he wasn’t exactly confident he would be able to do it again so easily.

Fortunately for him, he had great experience crafting rank four talismans. He knew dozens of rank four talismans and his mastery over them was pretty commendable. His “all-rounded” Mastery of them brought him a direct benefit when he was crafting rank five talismans. He was much more adaptable and could correct his mistakes along the way when compared to Talisman Grandmasters of the same level.

That was how he was able to maintain a certain level of success rate when crafting talismans after he successfully created the first one.

Even though he wasn’t very confident in crafting Substitution Talismans yet, Shang Xia managed to succeed on his third attempt.

Using 3 rank five talisman papers to craft a single talisman was the benchmark for a proper rank five Talisman Grandmaster.

After completing 2 rank five talismans, Shang Xia used up half of the rank five talisman papers he had in his possession. With the last 5 pieces, he planned to come up with a completely new talisman. The inspiration for it stemmed from the semi-complete rank six talisman Kou Chongxue passed him back then.

When they forced the Spirit Abundance World to retreat back then, the peak-tier experts among them had a talisman that could pull them back to the Spirit Abundance World through the vast sea of stars.

As they were activating the talisman, 4 of them were killed by the experts in the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm. Kou Chongxue’s opponent was unable to fully activate his talisman in time and a portion of it was preserved.

Shang Xia was planning to come up with his own rank five talisman with the inspiration gained from rank six talisman.

According to his experiences and what Kou Chongxue described, the main effects of the rank six talisman could be split into 2 major functions.

The first was that a spatial barrier would appear around them to prevent them from being hit by any attack unleashed by experts under the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm. Even Kou Chongxue’s Origin Yang Thousand Peak Sword Art.

The main purpose of the spatial barrier wasn’t to protect them from attacks by other experts. Instead, it was to prevent the dangers of traveling through the vast sea of stars from affecting them.

Of course, the second function was to pull them back through space.

It was vastly different from Shang Xia’s Abyssal Emptiness Talisman. The Abyssal Emptiness Talisman might have the effect of assisting one to pass through space, but it was a mere assistive talisman that would ease the travel of an expert through space. It couldn’t pull the user through space directly.

Well, the Abyssal Emptiness Talisman was also useful when it came to shattering restrictions. With the same logic, it would only assist the user and enhance one’s ability rather than doing all the work directly.

When Kou Chongxue handed him the half-preserved rank six talisman 3 years ago, Shang Xia already thought of coming up with his own rank five talisman.

He used 3 whole years to study and perfect his new talisman.

If the Substitution Talisman was able to allow one to avoid certain death, the new Teleportation Talisman would allow one to instantaneously avoid the lethal strike directed at them.

Anyone who used the Substitution Talisman along with the Teleportation Talisman would no longer have to worry about being killed instantly.

After adjusting his condition, Shang Xia didn’t hesitate as his brush landed on the talisman paper before him.

This time, he was still using the White Bone Brush. It wasn’t for any other reason than the fact that the material of the brush was much sturdier than the Purple Bamboo Brush.

Shang Xia simulated crafting the talisman countless times in his mind but when he truly started on it, he discovered that the tip of the brush wasn’t moving the way he envisioned and the talisman ink wasn’t flowing as smoothly as he had thought.

As the tip of his brush landed on the talisman paper, space started to twist and deep creases were formed. They eventually snapped, causing spatial splinters to appear everywhere. Those splinters started to spread slowly and eventually resembled spatial cracks.

The dipper qi that filled the White Bone Brush seemed to have reached its limit. Shang Xia felt that if he continued to force it through, the spatial disturbances around would probably affect the brush.

Shang Xia stared at the talisman paper that was one-third complete on the table and sighed softly. He raised his brush and no longer poured his dipper qi into it.

The spatial splinters that appeared near the surface of the paper immediately resonated with whatever remaining qi there was on the paper. The rank five talisman paper was torn to shreds and the spatial splinters expanded in the next instant. The spatial disturbance that followed seemed to want to swallow the entire chamber Shang Xia was using.

Having long been prepared, Shang Xia’s powerful dipper qi emerged and suppressed the spatial cracks that were forming and neutralized the fluctuations.

Shaking his head lightly, Shang Xia reached out before him and retrieved the items on the table. The next second, the entire table crumbled into a pile of dust.

He instructed the Talisman Hall to send another sturdy wooden table into his chamber before also calling for Ren Bainian.

Ren Bianian and his clan managed to take up residence in the You Continent and managed to meld pretty well with the rest of the powers there.

The friendship Ren Bainian built with Shang Xia gave him quite a bit of benefits in the You Continent. It was especially so after Shang Xia successfully stepped into the Martial Dipper Realm. Ren Bainian, with his great skills at repairing weapons, also experienced a significant rise in status.

After receiving Shang Xia’s invitation, Ren Bainian dropped everything he was doing and rushed over with all the equipment he might need to help Shang Xia repair his artifact.

The moment they met, Shang Xia chuckled bitterly and handed him the White Bone Brush.

Staring at the White Bone Brush that seemed fine on the outside, Ren Bainian reached out to hold it. The moment he touched the brush, he discovered what was wrong with it.

Tapping lightly on the tip of the brush, a small portion dropped off.

Staring at the fragments in his hand, Ren Bainian’s eyes widened in shock as he turned to Shang Xia. His lips quivered, but no words emerged. Whatever it was, the look of confusion on his face couldn’t be hidden.

Shang Xia forced a smile and muttered, “There’s no need to guess what happened. Something went wrong when I was trying to create a new rank five talisman.”

“Oh...” Ren Bainian mumbled once and thought to himself, Even if you’re coming up with a new talisman, you shouldn’t damage the brush to this extent, right?! With your cultivation and skill, how can something like this happen? Were you careless or was there something special about the talisman you’re crafting?

That was what he wanted to say to Shang Xia, but he didn’t dare to.

Luckily, only the tip seemed damaged. The damage was much easier to deal with than the actual body of the brush he had to restore the other time.

Being as well prepared as he was, Ren Bainian quickly located several strands of fine hair that was obtained from a spiritual beast and muttered, “The damage isn’t too serious but I will need around 7 days to restore the brush.” Pausing slightly, Ren Bainian was eventually unable to contain his curiosity and he asked, “I didn’t think that the institution would already gain a third rank five talisman inheritance. What is it called?”

Shang Xia was still contemplating what happened earlier and he replied casually, “Oh, it’s not a new inheritance. It’s something I plan to come up with.”

Clatter...

A bunch of items Ren Bainian brought with him scattered onto the ground below and he hastily reached down to pack them up.

When he finally met Shang Xia’s gaze again, he chuckled awkwardly, “My hand slipped...”
