After Li Changan and Taihao returned to the royal city, they began to retreat.
The Way of Runes has just been created, and it contains too many places that need to be explored.
Especially when I learned about the sacred information from Taihao's mouth.
It also brought him endless motivation.
Holiness is not the end, but a new starting point.
On the other side, the place where Li Changan and Taihao had a simple duel was discovered by a group of witch soldiers.
After seeing it, everyone was too frightened to speak.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, it was as if a natural disaster had occurred. The earth was scorched black, covered with frost, and had huge pits and abyss.
Those two existences are truly terrifying!
Time passes day by day,
Runes began to appear around Li Changan's body again, but these runes were different from the previous runes.
It was previously meant to be stored and used in battle.
Now these runes, each one exuding a faint divine light, were branded by him on his Fuzu altar.
When he preaches in the future, these runes will be the fixed entry runes for the talisman practitioner.
There are thousands of runes and it is difficult to exhaust them.
Everyone's understanding of runes is different.
It can be added in the future.
However, there cannot be any deviation in the key entry-level foundation-building runes.
Especially the five-element runes and the derived runes covered by the five elements must be fixed.
Only by cultivating a complete five-element rune can one rely on the five-element synergy to sustain life after the rune merges with the five internal organs.
In addition, there are also wind, thunder, etc., which are closely related to the power of heaven and earth.
As for some special runes, they were relegated to the other side.
Such as poison, poison, etc.
There are a lot of runes, and each one needs to be carefully used.
Suddenly, Li Changan's brows moved slightly, he stopped holding the brand in his hand, and turned his gaze to the distant north.
…
The capital of the Jin Dynasty, the White Deer Holy Land,
Li Changan's cultural master's cave suddenly began to shake.
The movement was not big, but it attracted the attention of all the third-grade scholars.
"What happened? The mysterious atmosphere disappeared last time, what happened this time?"
Within the cave, the root of the building wood,
The five-element mica that gave birth to the clone quietly shattered.
A hand exuding five colors of brilliance poked out from the crack.
After a few breaths, a figure bathed in light and left the root of Jianmu.
After putting on the robe left behind in the cave, the five-color brilliance quietly dispersed.
Astonishingly, he is no different from Li Changan.
This is exactly the Five Elements clone that was left behind, and now it is finally born.
Although there are thousands of miles between the original body and the clone, there is still some kind of connection.
The nine-color talisman also appeared between the eyebrows of the Five Elements clone, but it was just a shadow.
Even the shadow of the Fu Zu Altar appeared.
Although it cannot fully exert its power, it can still exert 70% to 80%.
Li Changan's thoughts instantly came to the clone.
Walking out of the cave, he hugged his fists and said, "Chang'an has disturbed you all."
"Is this the clone left by Li Chang'an? After nearly a year of cultivation, it was finally born."
"Did something happen to me? Otherwise, what were you doing here?"
"Hard to say……"
These third-level scholars all know that Li Changan took the Five Elements Mica from Zhao Hongshan.
Various thoughts collide in the void.
Li Changan left the Holy Land and quickly walked towards the Li Family Courtyard in the Holy Land.
Each step spanned hundreds of feet, flowing like clouds and flowing water without being stained by any smoke or dust.
Arriving outside the hospital, Li Changan adjusted his breathing and stepped forward to knock on the door.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
"Here we come." A familiar and delicate voice came from inside the door.
The courtyard door creaked open, and Liu Linglong's beautiful eyes widened when she saw the person coming. Then she rushed forward with a "wow" sound and hugged Li Changan.
Big tears burst out from my eyes.
"Brother, are you back?"
Hearing the sound, the other two people in the yard also came out.
"Chang'an, you're back!?"
Annan Zhi was still dressed in white and as cold as a fairy, but after seeing Li Changan, the surprise smile on her face was like the snow melting in spring.
Liu Zhiyin was still as gentle as ever, looking at him quietly without speaking, but her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears of surprise.
"This is my clone..." Li Changan said with a smile.
Before she finished speaking, Liu Linglong immediately exclaimed, jumped away, and hid behind Liu Zhiyin, pouting dissatisfiedly.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you were back..."
Li Changan reached out helplessly and tapped Liu Linglong's smooth jade forehead, "You, the little girl who will never grow up."
He walked into the courtyard and said, "I have established a firm foothold in the hinterland of the Wu Clan, and everything is on track now."
"When enough cultivation resources are accumulated, I will come back. I think it won't be too far away."
"As slow as one year, as fast as half a year."
Liu Linglong was a little uninterested, and stretched out her hand to pinch the clone's arm, "It's really weird, just like a real person."
Li Changan looked at Annan Zhi, "Have you ever passed a letter to your ancestor?"
An Nanzhi glanced at Li Changan with a hint of resentment, nodded and said, "We just spoke some time ago."
"The war situation in Chu State is still under control, but the number of Wu Clan armies is increasing, and the front line is beginning to be tight."
"They are preparing to launch an attack to try to consume more enemy troops."
"The academy is also discussing and preparing to rotate, so that those on the front line can come back to repair, and those who are still in the academy can go to the front line to receive the baptism of war."
Li Changan stretched out his hand and squeezed Annan Zhi's hand, "Thank you for your hard work. If anything happens in the future, you can use the Thousand Miles Transmission Symbol to find me."
"My thoughts are connected with my clone, and I can come at any time."
"I just want to come over and see you this time so that you don't have to worry."
Li Changan smiled and patted Liu Linglong's head, took Liu Zhiyin's hand, "Today, let me cook you a meal as an apology."
"I obviously promised to accompany you a lot, but I am always outside. I feel wronged by you."
Although Liu Linglong knew that the person in front of her was a clone, she still couldn't help but follow Li Changan.
My brother had been away for more than half a year this time, and it was finally possible to see and talk to him.
"You, it's good to know."
"I want to eat sweet and sour fish, pot-wrapped pork..."
After one meal, Li Changan wished he could just come back from the Wu Clan.
After fighting outside for so long, one can imagine the pressure in my heart.
Home is the only real destination.
…
After eating, Li Changan promised to come back and cook a meal for them every two days before leaving reluctantly.
After walking out of the main hospital, I immediately went to find Master without stopping.
Master still did not live in the academy, but still lived in the original small courtyard.
Opening the door, the familiar thin figure appeared in front of me.
Master looks a little bit old already.
"Disciple Chang'an pays homage to Master."
Li Changan's voice trembled and he bowed respectfully.
Gu Weidao was startled for a moment, then turned around, a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he hurried forward to help Li Changan up, "Chang'an, are you back?"
Li Changan shook his head, "Master, this is the clone left behind by my disciple."
"Now that Yun is well nourished, come immediately to report that he is safe."
Gu Weidao nodded repeatedly, "As long as it's okay, it's okay..."
Then he grabbed Li Changan's arm and walked inside, "Last time, your master said that something seemed to have happened to your cave in the Holy Land, which made him restless."
"Later, it was Zhao Hongshan who said that your clone is still there and nothing will happen to him, so he persuaded him to stop."
"He has gone out to practice again in the past two days. He said that you told him at the beginning that it could help martial arts improve by leaps and bounds."
Li Changan smiled and nodded, "My disciple told me that he probably went to find the place where there was thunder."
Gu Weidao grabbed a handful of dried fruits for Li Changan and said, "Master, you are very impatient. You can't wait to reach the second level tomorrow."
"But this is normal. After all, our luck barrier is about to disappear for some reason."
Li Changan sat down and ate melon seeds. In the Wu clan, there was nothing else to eat except meat. Finally, he could try some snacks.
"How is Master's current practice?"
Gu Weidao twirled his beard and looked at Li Changan eating melon seeds with a kind smile on his face, "Not bad."
"But as a teacher, I no longer followed the literary path, but chose another path."
Li Changan stopped moving his hands and asked, "Another way?"
Gu Weidao nodded and said with pride, "Your master fought with me some time ago. Although I can't beat him, it's hard for him to hurt me."
"So powerful!?" Li Changan was really surprised.
This is no joke.
Master Shigong has both civil and military skills. He is so strong that it makes one's scalp numb. There is no shortcoming at all.
If placed in the witch clan, except for the second-grade witch king, the other witch kings would probably be no match for the master.
And even if you encounter the Witch Lord, with your grammar, you will definitely have no problem escaping.
As a result, such a ruthless master could not hurt the master.
The master is only in the fourth grade.
What kind of method can lead to such rapid progress?
Gu Weidao felt greatly relieved when he saw his apprentice's expression and explained,
"My teacher's legacy is broken. I want to completely repair it, but I always feel like something is missing."
"Later, because I learned that the human race's destiny barrier would completely disappear, I made up my mind and embarked on another path."
"Shatter the cultural relic into pieces for my master, use my soul to carry the fragments of the cultural relic, and fuse them with the ancient stars."
"I went to that ancient star when I was a teacher. When I went up there, there were only two fourth-grade life-making souls on it."
"After I drove them away, I completely occupied the ancient star."
"Now that more than half of it has been smelted, Wenlu and Yuanshen are no longer distinguishable from each other."
"When you completely merge with the ancient star, you can reach the state where the ancient star is immortal and I am immortal."
Li Changan was stunned when he heard this.
He never expected that his master, who had been stable all his life, would be so dangerous.
And he really succeeded.
An ancient star is immortal, but I am immortal.
At this moment, a familiar breath appeared in the perception.
Then the sound of heavy footsteps came.
It's the master who's back.
Li Changan quickly stood up and saluted.
When Wang Tiangang saw Li Changan, he was also extremely surprised, "What happened to your cave last time scared me."
"Are you okay?"
Li Changan shook his head and said, "Master, I'm worried. My disciple is fine. It's just because of his cultivation that he took back his soul."
"Take back the soul? Aren't you smelting ancient stars? Why take back the soul again?" When Wang Tiangang heard that it was about cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
"Did something go wrong in cultivation?"
"Don't follow the example of your master and jeopardize your future."
"The three great souls are extremely powerful. Once they reach the third level, they will be able to truly demonstrate their strength."
"Even if you are entering the third level for the first time, there are not many people in the third level who can beat you."
Li Chang'an said, "Master, don't worry, my disciple is sensible."
"But why do you say that Master has committed suicide?"
When Wang Tiangang thought of Gu Weidao's cultivation, he sighed helplessly, "How can you understand the rules of heaven and earth without your master's writing?"
"If you can't see the rules of heaven and earth, how can you integrate them? If you can't integrate the rules of heaven and earth, how can you enter the third level?"
"He seems to be very strong now, but he only has the ability to save his life, and his combat power can only be compared to the weakest level three at best."
“I don’t know how to continue to break through in the future.”
"I'm so worried..."
Wang Tiangang sighed, but Gu Weidao sat aside and smiled happily.
This pair of master and disciple complement each other perfectly.
Li Changan quickly stepped forward and comforted him, "Master, I have a way for you to see the rules without writing."
Wang Tiangang said, "You mean those magical powers similar to yours?"
He shook his head and said, "Your master's background is too weak and far inferior to yours. How much did you accumulate when you first understood the supernatural powers? Your master can't do that."
Li Changan smiled and said, "It's not about re-understanding magical powers, but another way."
"This disciple just happened to have a breakthrough in his practice recently..."
Wang Tiangang suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Changan sharply, "You are weird."
"I almost got fooled by you just now."
"What exactly are you practicing? You want to take back your soul?"
"Tell me, don't lie!"
"You spent countless efforts and accumulated immeasurable knowledge to cultivate it, so there can't be any problems!"
Li Changan's face was a little stiff, and he felt worried in his heart. Is the master going to beat me?
Suddenly, I thought, even if you want to beat me, you are just beating the clone. What does it have to do with me?
Then he felt confident in his heart and said, "This disciple has recovered all three souls from the ancient star."
"Snapped!"
The tea cup in Gu Weidao's hand fell to the ground crisply and broke into seven or eight pieces.
Wang Tiangang's expression also changed suddenly, and he grabbed Li Changan's shoulder with a slap, "What did you say? The three great souls have been taken away?"
"What exactly are you practicing now?"
"The situation is getting more and more serious now, so nothing can happen to you."
Li Changan hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry, it's a good thing. Now my disciple's cultivation level has not declined but has risen, and his combat power is also stronger."
Wang Tiangang was dubious, but under Gu Weidao's pull, he let go of Li Changan and said, "Tell me first."
"Don't fool me. If something goes wrong, I'll go directly to the Witch Clan and bring you back to beat you."
Li Changan smiled and said, "Master, master, please listen to me."
"This disciple has given up all his training in literature and martial arts, and specializes in the way of runes."
Just the first sentence scared Wang Tiangang and Gu Weidao to death.
If Li Changan hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands to comfort the two of them immediately, I'm afraid the courtyard would have been bombed.
"What is the way of runes? Please explain it carefully. I remember that you have used special runes before, saying that you learned them based on the methods of the human race and the demon race."
Wang Tiangang said, "Is it the one you said?"
Li Changan nodded and said, "Yes, but this time the disciple has sorted it out again..."
Li Changan briefly explained the cause and effect.
Hearing Wang Tiangang and Gu Weidao's expressions changing, they were all frightened.
Although Li Changan said this with a smile, it was actually extremely dangerous.
This is a big gamble!
Li Changan regarded his wealth, life, and his unrivaled spiritual foundation as a bet.
If you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed.
Not many people dare to do this.
"You..." Gu Weidao's voice was trembling, and he patted Li Changan hard on the shoulder, "Don't do this again."
Li Changan comforted him and said, "Master, don't worry, my disciple is now on the right track in cultivating the way of runes."
"Moreover, the foundation laid this time is even stronger than before."
"It turns out that the disciple seems to have a solid foundation. He has three great souls, civilized and martial arts. He is extremely powerful and has no shortcomings."
"But in fact, it is always in a loose state and cannot be perfectly condensed."
"It's different now. All the forces are gathered together, and the strength has made a qualitative leap."
"Now, this disciple has the strength to injure and even kill the third-grade Witch King."
As soon as these words came out, the two people in the room stopped breathing.
"really?"
Wang Tiangang's eyes almost widened.
How is this going?
I have only one disciple and one disciple, how come they are all so fierce?
Don’t you take the third grade seriously?
"Hurry up and talk about your runes." Wang Tiangang urged.
Li Changan took a sip of tea and began to explain the practice of runes.
The room was quiet.
Wang Tiangang and Gu Weidao became more and more shocked as they listened, and they didn't even notice that their mouths opened.
Is this the way of runes?
Oh my god, could this be a dream?
His disciple (disciple and grandson) actually created such a terrible method?
What virtue and ability am I?
Can you have such an outstanding disciple?
Especially Wang Tiangang, who is a master of both civil and military arts, and can better understand the power of the way of runes.
First of all, there is no threshold!
The threshold for literacy is too high, resulting in 90% of the human race being excluded, and the combat power of the vast majority of people has not been released.
Secondly, there are no obvious shortcomings!
Martial arts, especially the incomplete martial arts of the human race, are strong in close combat, but their strength is limited. They do not have any means of long-range attack, and their shortcomings are too obvious.
The upper limit is also extremely high!
Just hearing about the fifth-grade divine talisman realm, that talisman broke all laws, made Wang Tiangang's scalp numb.
Then to the fourth level palm star realm.
There is no need for the soul to ascend to the ancient star and face danger.
You can directly draw on the power of the ancient stars and at the same time temper your physical body.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Moreover, the natal talisman can also reflect the surrounding heaven and earth.
When the level of the talisman is high, it can not only reflect the power of heaven and earth, but also the rules of heaven and earth.
You can get in touch with the rules of heaven and earth as soon as possible without reaching the third level.
Such a method truly amazed him!
"What about the third level? What does the third level of Fu Dao correspond to?" Wang Tiangang asked impatiently.
Li Changan paused and replied, "The third grade of Fu Dao is called Tongtian."
"The rules of smelting the heaven and earth of the natal talisman mean reaching the sky. There shouldn't be any problems in this realm."
"But I haven't cultivated enough yet, so I don't dare to make any judgments."
Wang Tiangang couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, "This name is exciting."
"It's almost enough to reach the third level... What do you think, Master, if I switch to cultivating the way of runes?"
Li Changan was stunned when asked.
Gu Weidao on the side also said, "This way of runes does not have the threshold of the literary way, nor does it have the shortcomings of the martial way."
"If possible, I would also like to change my mind as a teacher."
Li Changan quickly waved his hand and said, "This is not possible. The disciple is not completely sure yet. If something goes wrong, there will be no redemption."
"And this way of runes also involves the sacred road in the future..."
Then, Li Changan told Taihao and what he said about the ancestor who opened the way.
Wang Tiangang clapped his hands and said, "Khan, what did I think was going on? What's the problem with this?"
"Your master, I practice literature and martial arts, aren't I just providing incense to others?"
"It's better to give it to others than to you! Don't you think so?"
Gu Weidao also nodded, "Yes, I would rather give it to you than to an outsider."
"Besides, the way of runes is obviously better than the civil and military ways, so why not practice it?"
Li Changan hurriedly stopped the two men and said with a wry smile, "It's not that the disciples don't want to teach, but it's that there is indeed a great danger."
"The disciple himself has only cultivated to the fourth level. I don't know whether he will reach the third level."
"As for the second level above the third level, it is completely divorced from the current path of cultivation, and the disciple himself is not sure."
"If it doesn't work, then we will be completely trapped in the third level and unable to go up."
Wang Tiangang asked, "Please explain the third level of Fu Dao in detail."
Li Changan carefully sorted it out in his mind before speaking, "The third grade of Fu Dao is called Tongtian."
"Smelt the rules of smelting heaven and earth into the natal talisman, and the natal talisman is promoted to the heavenly talisman."
"You can directly activate the rules of heaven and earth without relying on luck."
"In addition, according to the disciple's deduction, the pinnacle of the Tongtian realm is the smelting of the three-level rules of heaven and earth. The big realm will no longer be distinguished solely because of the rules of heaven and earth."
Wang Tiangang nodded, "In other words, your third grade is actually equivalent to the first grade of Wen Dao in the end?"
Li Changan nodded, "That should be the case, but the disciple is not sure yet. It is possible that some people can only smelt the first layer, or can only smelt the second layer."
"If you really can't smelt it, you can only continue to go up and enter the second level of Talisman Dao."
Wang Tiangang waved his hand,
"That's enough!"
"The third level of Fu Dao, the lowest is equivalent to the third level of civil and military, and the highest is comparable to the first level of civil and military. What are you not satisfied with?"
"Besides, if the smelting of Talisman Dao cannot reach the second level of heaven and earth rules, then even if this person practices Literary Dao, he will definitely not reach the second level of Literary Dao."
Gu Weidao also nodded and said, "The third level is already the pinnacle existence in the world."
"It would be better if we could go further, but if we can't, that's how it should be."
"However, your third-grade Talisman Dao is already comparable to the first-grade civil and military skills. Then what level should your second-grade Talisman Dao be?"
Li Changan expressed his thoughts, "After the Heavenly Talisman melts the rules of heaven and earth, it naturally contains the power of the rules of heaven and earth."
"Where do the rules of heaven and earth come from? Isn't it the origin of heaven and earth that evolved from it?"
"What the disciple wants is to go back to the origin and trace the origin."
"Based on the rules of heaven and earth smelting the Talisman of Heaven and Earth, we can trace back to our origins and reshape our own origins."
These words confused the two of them.
"Reshape one's own origin? If you want to become a saint, shouldn't you integrate the origin of heaven?"
Li Changan said, "So many saints want to integrate the origin of Heavenly Dao. If those who come after want to integrate more of the origin of Heavenly Dao, won't they have to fight with other saints?"
"The origin of the way of heaven is determined. If there are too many monks and too few rice porridge, won't we be stuck in the future?"
"So the disciple is thinking, since he doesn't integrate the origin of heaven, why not shape his own origin?"
"Replace the origin of heaven with your own origin."
"When your own origin is strong enough, you will be able to compete with the origin of Heaven."
"Master, Master, what do you think?"
The room was quiet for a while.
Wang Tiangang touched his beard and said with emotion, "As expected of my disciple, his brain is really good."
"A good one uses his own origin to replace the origin of heaven."
“Awesome!”
"Then what is the name of this realm?"
"The second grade of Fu Dao is called Bu Tian! It means to complement oneself in exchange for the Dao of Heaven!"
"What a name!" Gu Weidao said with emotion, "Your understanding of Fu Tao is quite profound now."
"Even the third and second grades have not yet practiced."
"But at least after careful consideration, there is no problem."
"The key is that the most important foundation of Talisman Dao has been established, and the remaining realms can be gradually improved."
"At least it won't affect the cultivation of the fourth level of Fu Dao."
Wang Tiangang also quite agreed with this statement.
"In this way." Gu Weidao expressed his thoughts, "Time waits for no one."
"The situation is becoming increasingly tense now. There are still four years left before the war between the five races."
"Your master's current cultivation progress is pretty good, so it's not appropriate to move around for the time being."
"But my practice as a teacher has now reached its peak. Turning to the Talisman Path can still be regarded as a path."
"Besides, there is no need to worry about our teacher's safety. The worst we can do is maintain the status quo. What do you think?"
Li Changan opened his mouth, his voice slightly choked.
Master has said so much, isn’t it because he is afraid that he will have random thoughts?
This is to use your own practice as a bet to help your disciples perfect the method.
If he really practices, then he will be the first guinea pig.
You may encounter various problems.
How could Li Changan not know about such a heart for boxing?
"How about the disciples find some people to try it out first, and then teach it to the master?" Li Changan said.
Gu Weidao shook his head directly, "Who do you want to find? The Han tribe?"
"Their cultivation talents are average and they need time to cultivate. Do you have the time?"
"And they may not understand what you are saying. If they have any questions, they can't tell you. Isn't it a waste of time?"
"Ok, deal."
"During this period, you will be here. You will record every step of my practice to ensure that there will be no problems."
"As long as it reaches the fourth level, the master will first teach the way of runes within the Han Dynasty!"
