Crack~

Halfway through the Great Freedom Celestial Demon's speech, a sudden thunderclap boomed in the clear sky, striking the lightning rod at the top of the Daoist Temple, startling the Great Freedom Celestial Demon into silence.

Zhang Chen was also taken aback by this extraordinary spectacle of Heaven and Earth, looking at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, who was as silent as a cicada in winter, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"What place were you talking about? Can you say it?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The Thirty-Three Heavens!" said the Great Freedom Celestial Demon.

"The Thirty-Three Heavens of the Spiritual World?" Zhang Chen asked tentatively upon hearing this.

"You actually know about this?" The Great Freedom Celestial Demon looked surprised: "It seems you do know a bit, not as ignorant as I thought. But still, forget about the Spiritual World. From ancient times to today, only eight people in this world have ever reached the Spiritual World, and these eight were all geniuses whose talents left imprints across time. You wish to glimpse the Creation of the Spiritual World... to be honest, it's not that I look down on you, but even your ancestor here can't achieve such a Mental Realm. Even if there were ten thousand of you, you wouldn't match a single hair of your ancestor, so you have no hope."

Zhang Chen was displeased upon hearing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon's words — he really knew how to look down on people.

"Isn't it just the Spiritual World? What's so impressive about it?" Zhang Chen retorted.

"You little frog at the bottom of a well, how could you understand how great a person whose mind can reach the Spiritual World is? If one day you can reach the Spiritual World, I would even let you ride me," the Great Freedom Celestial Demon said, looking at Zhang Chen with a face full of mockery. "I would kneel down and carry you around in a 360-degree circle; if you tell me to go east, I would never go west, if you ask me to hit a dog, I would never chase a chicken."

Looking at the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, Zhang Chen thought, how could this illusory force of mental power carry him?

"Stay well inside the house, do not casually approach strangers, and definitely do not get near my senior sister. She bears the talisman I granted her, and if you accidentally get hurt, don't blame me for not warning you." Zhang Chen warned the Great Freedom Celestial Demon: "If the light on my senior sister activates, don't blame me if I turn on you."

The Great Freedom Celestial Demon didn't seem to mind Zhang Chen's words and floated directly to the threshold, unafraid of the sunlight, and looked up silently at the sun, seemingly contemplating something deeply.

Zhang Chen activated the lock coordinate, constantly sensing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon. As Zhang Chen activated the coordinate, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon immediately felt it and turned to glance at Zhang Chen: "I say, what the hell is this wicked method? It's completely unreasonable. I have lived for who knows how many years and seen many things, yet I've never encountered such an incredible method. Where did you get this method?"

Zhang Chen did not answer the Great Freedom Celestial Demon's question, having lost interest in conversing with him, and instead focused on practicing the Talismanic Technique.

"The Great Freedom Celestial Demon says this first talisman is called: Invisibility Rune..." Zhang Chen's eyes lit up. This talisman must be meticulously completed.

This is indeed a good thing.

With guidance from the Great Freedom Celestial Demon, Zhang Chen found drawing the talisman quite smooth. After drawing it over a hundred times, it already looked decent; at this moment, the Golden Finger Interface popped up:

[New skill discovered, would you like to record it?]

"Record," Zhang Chen said to himself in his heart.

[Skill 11 (Entry-Level): Invisibility Rune (0/100)]

[Note 1: After using this talisman, you blend with the environment harmoniously, becoming hard to discern unless observed closely.]

[Points: 190000]

Seeing this, Zhang Chen directly added points all the way up, with the points he had, the trivial consumption was manageable.

Entry-Level Points 100.

Minor Achievement Points 500.

Great Success Points 1000.

[Skill 11 (Perfection): Invisibility Rune (0/5000)]

[Note 1: You can merge with the environment, changing as it changes. Even if someone stands right in front of you, they cannot see you.]

[Points: 188400]

"Can five thousand points upgrade it to the first tier?" Zhang Chen did not hesitate, directly adding the points.

[Skill 11 (Quasi First-Tier): Invisibility Rune (0/10000)]

[Note 1: You will gain the power of Level 1 Law of Cause and Effect; once you use the Invisibility Technique, a first-tier cultivator cannot detect your form.]

[Note 2: Pay attention to your scent and footprints, as they can expose you. Remember, visually you don't exist, but your body still does, so make sure not to bump into anyone to avoid frightening children.]

[Note 3: One pound of Jade Essence is needed to complete the evolution and fully become a first-tier entity.]

[Points: 183400]

Looking at the Golden Finger Interface, Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of contemplation: "This Invisibility Technique is indeed something special; first-tier cultivators can't see me, but it does have flaws, such as form and scent. But as the Invisibility Rune upgrades, if all the flaws are hidden, wouldn't that be amazing? It would be the ultimate assassination tool!"

"Jade, huh? In my last search around the city, I gathered quite a bit of jade jewelry and top-grade jade stones and agates; it should be enough to extract a pound of essence." Zhang Chen regarded the Invisibility Technique highly; it was practically a tool for escape.

He glanced at the Celestial Demon standing at the doorframe and contemplating the sun. After pondering for a moment, he decided it was best to wait, capture the demon at the right time, and then search for jade to upgrade the talisman.

He didn't want to reveal too much of his mysteriousness in front of the demon.

Zhang Chen lowered his head and continued to peruse the Upper Pure Handwriting he held. His idea of meticulously extracting all the skills from the book had fallen through; evidently, the Golden Finger didn't allow him to take shortcuts.

"Hey, stop dawdling, come help me decipher the second rune," Zhang Chen called to the Great Freedom Celestial Demon at the door.

He felt that with the Celestial Demon's help, it might even be possible to finish all three hundred and sixty talismans within a month.

A month has thirty days, twenty-four hours each day, which means seven hundred and twenty hours in a month.

With the Great Freedom Celestial Demon's explanations of the stroke order, practicing one rune every half hour was indeed possible.

Then it would just be a matter of working hard one day and resting half a day; this way, the timing would be just right.

So he couldn't afford to waste any time and had to practice quickly.

Upon hearing this, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon turned its head, looking at Zhang Chen with its eyes: "The Invisibility Rune I taught you is very complicated, involving the control of magical power and the balance of various key points, enough for you to study for a year. Instead of diligently practicing this one rune, you go on to study a new rune; this is simply biting off more than you can chew, you might end up learning nothing at all."

"Youngsters these days really don't know how to work steadily and have too restless a heart," the Great Freedom Celestial Demon lectured in a worldly tone.

Zhang Chen ignored the Great Freedom Celestial Demon's lecture, responding sullenly: "I just want to quickly master all the runes in this book. Is there a shortcut? If there's no shortcut, I'm afraid you'll have to teach me stroke by stroke. If you're not afraid of the trouble, I don't mind learning stroke by stroke with you."

The Great Freedom Celestial Demon looked at Zhang Chen with a puzzled expression, unable to figure out the tricks this young lad was playing, and thus expounded earnestly: "Learning the correct stroke order of talismans is simple, but the true essence lies in the control and balance of magical power. Learning many rune strokes without mastering the essence is useless. Better to focus deeply and cultivate one talisman thoroughly."
