During the fight between Shang Xia and Lin Chai, Shang Xia did see her transform into a paper figure cut out of talisman paper, intending to confuse Shang Xia's perception, but was easily avoided by Shang Xia.
When Shang Xia obtained the complete production method of the "Substitute Talisman" from her, he originally did not attach much importance to the inheritance of this set of talismans. It was more of a reference to the Lingyu Realm Talisman.
However, after he carefully browsed the complete "Stand-in Talisman" inheritance, he realized that he had made a mistake that he had taken for granted.
The set of "Stand-in Talismans" obtained by Shang Xia is divided into three levels of inheritance, and what Lin Chai used at that time was only the lowest-level "Paper Talisman" among the "Stand-in Talismans". Although he had a certain strength of the warrior himself,
But its more purpose is to confuse the audience.
But even the lowest-grade paper talisman itself has reached the level of a third-order martial talisman.
On top of the "Paper Man Talisman", there is a fourth-level "Incarnation Talisman".
Once this martial talisman is made, the warrior can inject his own evil spirit into it, and after being stimulated, an incarnation that is 70% or 80% similar to the warrior himself will appear.
Before the evil energy in this fourth-level martial talisman is exhausted, this incarnation can always maintain the strength of the fourth level.
If during this process, the warrior can integrate another ray of original divine will into the incarnation talisman, then this incarnation can also flexibly display some of the warrior's own martial arts, making it even more difficult to deal with.
The way this "incarnation talisman" was made reminded Shang Xia of the previous battle at Yunshuijian in the Taihang Mountains, where the fifth-level ancestors of all parties came down to fight incarnations.
At that time, several ancestors did not use their natal Yuan Gang, but each infused and condensed an avatar with fifth-level true energy to participate in the battle. No matter whether they won or lost, they would not be harmed.
Now it seems that those incarnations of vitality are similar to the incarnations condensed by the "Incarnation Talisman".
But the former is the method of the fifth-level ancestor, while the latter is just a fourth-level martial talisman.
In other words, the fourth-level "Incarnation Talisman" can allow the fourth-level warrior to have methods similar to those of the fifth-level ancestor in advance.
Of course, if you compare the strength of the two incarnations, they are not the same.
However, there is a "substitute talisman" on top of the "incarnation talisman", and this is a serious fifth-level martial talisman.
Before this, Shang Xia had only one fifth-level martial talisman, the "Linyuan Fengxu Talisman", but now Shang Xia has a specific inheritance of the second fifth-level martial talisman.
"Stand-in symbol", or its more vivid name should be "substitution symbol"!
This is a kind of martial talisman that can truly be used to replace a warrior's death when he suffers an irresistible attack!
Having a "substitute talisman" is equivalent to an extra life for the warrior himself.
When Shang Xia saw the description of the "substitute talisman", his heart felt hot and he wished he could make this talisman now.
However, he quickly calmed down. Not to mention the difficulty of making the fifth-level martial talisman itself, the meaning of Yuan Gang necessary to make the fifth-level martial talisman is not something that Shang Xia can possess today.
That would have to wait until he truly advanced to the Martial Arts Realm, or when other fifth-level ancestors cooperated with their Yuan Gang intentions, before he could try it.
Moreover, the current Shang Xia does not have even a fourth-level talisman, not to mention a fifth-level talisman. However, some third-level talismans were sent from Tianwai Qionglu before. The third-level "talisman" can be sent first.
Make "Paper Man Talisman" and practice your skills.
There are still some miscellaneous items, which are rare resources for low-level warriors. They are also quite useful for many warriors of the same level, but for the current Shang Xia, most of them are of no use.
superior.
After sorting through these items, Shang Xia finally focused on the remaining piece of Origin Gang Jade.
In fact, this time Shang Xia obtained two pieces of Origin Gang Jade from the Source Light Pillar at the center of the Yuan Qi vortex. Apart from this piece of the highest quality, there was also an extremely mottled piece of Gang Jade of poor quality.
It was only when Shang Xia finally inserted the Linyuan Knife into the Sheng Sacrifice Formation and persisted under the undercurrent of vitality until the sea of vitality dissipated, that colorful piece of Origin Gang Jade disappeared.
Shang Xia guessed that it was due to the erosion of the undercurrent of vitality that the origin contained in the piece of Gang Jade was completely absorbed by the Sifang Stele.
But why did the Sifang Monument only absorb that mottled piece of Gang Jade?
The essence of heaven and earth contained in that piece of pure and clear Gang Jade should be more pure and profound.
Shang and Xia have not yet understood this issue.
Speaking of the four-sided stele, three of its four sides are still intact, and the cracks from top to bottom on one side are clearly visible.
However, after Shang Xia's divine will seeped into the interior through the cracks on the surface of the monument, it could be felt that a lot of the space gaps inside had been filled.
However, because there are too many cracks and gaps inside the Sifang Monument, and the repairs inside completely rely on the filling of the source of heaven and earth, therefore, compared to all the damage and cracks inside the monument, these repairs are still only a small part.
It is still a long way to go to completely restore this square monument.
The reason why Shang Xia worked so tirelessly to collect and absorb the vitality of heaven and earth was not entirely to make up for the Sifang Monument, but more importantly, to accumulate the magical powers of the fourth heaven and the advanced formulas of the fifth heaven.
.
As Shang Xia's cultivation continues to improve, the Sifang Monument will inevitably cause greater consumption to the main body during the process of deducing magical powers and advanced formulas.
Moreover, Shang Xia had a hunch that the magical power of the Fourth Heaven was just enough. Once he deduced the advanced formula of the Fifth Heaven, it would probably cause an unprecedented loss to the Sifang Monument itself.
Once the Sifang Stele cannot bear the load during this deduction, it will probably completely collapse, which will be a disaster for Shang Xia.
In fact, if Shang Bo and others had not told him that the Origin Gang Jade could be transformed with the help of Yuangang Essence, I am afraid that he would have given the Origin Gang Jade to the Sifang Monument to be devoured.
After finally retaining this piece of original Gang Jade, Shang Xia began to trial-produce several third-level "paper human talismans". Perhaps because of the different production styles of martial arts talismans in the two realms, although several pieces were produced, the success rate was not the same.
Too ideal.
However, Shang Xia had obviously expected this. After all the third-level talismans were used up, Shang Xia completely calmed down and immersed himself in seclusion.
After being washed away by the undercurrent of vitality, Shang Xia completed further purification of the natal evil element in the body, and then increased the refining of the Four Seasons Spirit Evil to 70%.
If the energy flow from heaven and earth that gathered at that time had not been exhausted, Shang Xia would have lost the conditions to continue to use the undercurrent of energy to purify the evil element and refine the Four Seasons Spirit Evil. In addition, there were dangers around, and Shang Xia's refining of the Four Seasons Spirit Evil would be impossible.
May continue.
At this time, Shang Xia calmed down and practiced in seclusion. Shang Xia's refining speed of the Four Seasons Spirit Demon was still not slow.
This may also be the difference between fellow practitioners of the Four Shas of Shang and Xia and other warriors. His way of practice is difficult first and then easy.
The really difficult and dangerous time is when the seeds of the four kinds of heaven and earth spirit evils are incorporated into the origin. Once the four kinds of heaven and earth spirit evils form a balance in the origin, then the subsequent cultivation can be done step by step. If the integration can be further completed,
Then it will be a matter of course, and it may even be accomplished overnight.
Just like in Shang Xia now, after the four spiritual demons have been refined to 70%, the subsequent cultivation process not only shows no signs of slowing down, but instead feels like a rolling and unstoppable trend.
The feeling that the Spiritual Evil of the Four Seasons was being refined bit by bit, that the improvement in cultivation was visible every day, and that the growth in strength could be realized at any time, made Shang Xia so immersed in it that he couldn't extricate himself, so much so that he couldn't feel the passage of time at all.
On this day, Shang Xia unknowingly passed the 80% dividing line in refining the spirit evil spirit of the four seasons.
And at this moment, the growth of Shang Xia's own cultivation seemed to have reached a certain critical point. The natal evil element in his dantian began to boil, and the square monument in his mind rumbled, followed by an instant of heart palpitations.
Wake up with a start.
At this moment, Shang Xia didn't even have time to pay attention to the changes in the natal evil element in his dantian. Instead, he focused his divine perception completely on the body of the Sifang Monument in his mind.
The four-sided stele was trembling, but what Shang Xia was paying attention to at this time was that there were lines of writing on the stele that were flickering.
This situation is not unfamiliar to Shang and Xia. It is a prelude to the Sifang Stele's preparation to deduce when it will appear.
It's just that... the Four Seasons Spiritual Demon has not been completely refined, and there are still 20% left, so how could it be?
Shang Xia's heart moved, and the piece of Origin Gang Jade that he originally planned to keep was directly caught in his hand, just in case.
At the same time, Shang Xia relied on the connection established with the Sifang Stele with his own divine will after advancing to the fourth heaven, trying to appease the monument, and at the same time trying to figure out the reason for the turmoil in the Sifang Stele.
Shang Xia originally just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he never thought that when he suddenly thought about it, he seemed to understand something from the four-square monument.
Supernatural powers...can be deduced...
That's probably what it means.
It's not that the Sifang Monument has the ability to communicate with Shang Xia, but that Shang Xia knows what it wants to know.
Very strange, but very true!
Shang Xia felt a little energetic for a moment, and immediately thought about carrying out the deduction.
But the moment this idea arose, he suppressed it firmly.
No... no... the Spirit of the Four Seasons has not been completely refined yet, so there is no rush now!
Shang Xia murmured to himself to comfort himself and calm down his eagerness to try.
Although he has a kind of confidence derived from the Sifang Monument, even if he performs the deduction of the Four Symbol Realm magical powers at this time, it will not cause devastating damage to the Sifang Monument.
Moreover, performing the deduction of the Four Symbol Realm magical powers in advance will also allow him to make various preparations in advance, so that after he completes the refining of the Four Seasons Spirit Demon, he will not be delayed in advancing to the Four Symbol Realm Dzogchen due to lack of necessary conditions.
But there is always a voice in Shang Xia's heart, constantly reminding him that it is always better to be slower, be more prudent, and accumulate more sources of heaven and earth...
And after the Sifang Monument slowly calmed down, the original spirit evil in Shang Xia's dantian also slowly calmed down. However, the heart palpitations that woke him up from the retreat still existed!
