Chapter 251: Chapter 219: Hundred Thousand Special Marks
Since the spiritual power of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage was already compressed to the level of Foundation Establishment, there was no need for the Electro-Purification Talisman to “simulate the illusion of compressed spiritual power.”
In other words, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage naturally fulfilled all the hardware requirements to summon a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Tribulation.
The only problem was, they had already been struck by lightning once and been marked as exempt from further strikes.
So, Jiang Cheng’s main mission now was to figure out a way to remove this exemption mark.
Removing the exemption mark sounded quite far-fetched.
In the entire Cultivation World, it was estimated that nobody had ever thought about getting struck by Heavenly Tribulation a second time.
However, for Jiang Cheng, the exemption mark was nothing more than a piece of code.
Find it, block or delete it, and naturally, you can create the illusion of not having been struck, thus drawing the Heavenly Tribulation once more.
But after careful consideration, Jiang Cheng realized that despite being able to use the system to create many “high-performance” talismans, code-level operations were simply beyond his capability in his current state.
What to do then?
Liu Qing, sipping on her milk tea, noticed Jiang Cheng in thought and stretched out a hand to place in his.
Because she had been holding the warm milk tea, Liu Qing’s small, white hand was warm and felt very comfortable to the touch.
“Ahem, this is a library, mind the influence.”
Yue Linger appeared beside Jiang Cheng at some point.
“Soundbox? What soundbox?”
Jiang Cheng looked up confusedly.
Yue Linger sat on the other side of Jiang Cheng, her eyes signaling him to look around.
Jiang Cheng looked up and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Turns out this was the library, not his own house!
Jiang Cheng quickly let go of Liu Qing’s hand and whispered, “We shouldn’t get too close in public.”
Liu Qing tilted her head slightly, “Why?”
“I’m afraid I might accidentally get killed by someone.”
Liu Qing sniffed Jiang Cheng and discovered he was not lying.
He indeed feared being killed.
But why?
Why would someone want to kill him?
Isn’t it normal for friends to hold hands?
Would that also make others envious and jealous?
Human society is so strange.
It wasn’t like this when she held hands with her friends on Mount Tian.
Yue Linger opened a book and said, “Jiang Cheng, regarding ‘Land Naming Charms,’ I have thought of a way to tell the size of the land in a storage bag.”
“What way?”
Yue Linger pointed to a talisman in the book and said, “Look at this.”
Jiang Cheng leaned closer to Yue Linger to see the book she was holding.
“Slow Movement Talisman?”
“Right,” Yue Linger introduced, “This type of talisman works by forming a thin film-like net that envelops the opponent, simulating the resistance of moving in water to slow down and inconvenience the opponent’s movements—a control system talisman.”
Yue Linger’s thoughts opened up, “The Land Naming Charm could also take inspiration from the Slow Movement Talisman’s idea, creating an invisible, rectangular thin film the same size as a coffin. Then, placing this block under the ground, it’s possible to determine the size of a plot of land, and finally, by collecting it in a storage bag, a burial pit could be dug out at the speed of light.”
“If you’re practiced at it, I reckon the process of using the charm and collecting the earth with the storage bag could be completed within a second,” Yue Linger counted on her fingers.
Compared to traditional methods of digging pits, Yue Linger’s method of using and collecting within just a second was indeed much faster.
“Not bad. Your idea is good, and I think my Electro-Purification Talisman can also use the film covering method,” Jiang Cheng briefly introduced his talisman drawing approach to Yue Linger.
In general, he planned to cover the middle of the talisman with a layer.
Similar to the Dayan Sect’s fitted identities.
Then, Heavenly Dao would take a look and think, “Hey, you’ve been at Foundation Establishment for so long, why haven’t you been struck yet?
I feel like striking today!
You must be struck today!”
Finally, the Emperor of Liang was cleansed by the Heavenly Tribulation and the evil repelled.
“Uh,” Yue Linger brought up a key question, “Aren’t you afraid the talisman is too powerful and might kill the emperor?”
Jiang Cheng wasn’t worried and replied, “If the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Tribulation could kill a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, then he wouldn’t have been able to reach Foundation Establishment. If he couldn’t withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, he should have perished during the Qi Cultivation Stage. It makes no sense that a cultivator, having grown much stronger after reaching Foundation Establishment, couldn’t withstand a Heavenly Tribulation that he could survive during the Qi Cultivation Stage.”
Yue Linger thought so too and didn’t ask any further.
Jiang Cheng’s actions were always reassuring, so there was no need for her to worry excessively.
Due to the difficulty of drawing talismans, Yue Linger’s assignment, a first-grade Land Naming Charm, was quickly completed.
After verifying there were no errors, Yue Linger then submitted the Land Naming Charm to her counselor, Jiang Ming.
“Teacher, my assignment, please have a look.”
Jiang Ming thought to herself, assignment? What assignment?
However, seeing that Yue Linger didn’t seem to be jesting, she took Yue Linger’s talisman with a serious face.
After seeing the function of the Land Naming Charm, she then remembered that indeed there had been such a matter.
Originally, when Li Youyuan contacted her to ask for her help to draw talismans, the spirit stones he offered weren’t much, and it wasn’t a school research project, so she didn’t take it seriously and casually passed it to the idle Yue Linger.
She hadn’t expected Yue Linger to complete the task so quickly.
Looking at the design specifications and described effects, it seemed that Yue Linger had even exceeded Li Youyuan’s requirements.
“Come with me to the empty ground downstairs, let’s test the effect.”
“Okay,” Yue Linger agreed promptly.
She inherited Jiang Cheng’s trait very well, never revealing a talisman without verifying its function repeatedly to avoid embarrassment.
Jiang Cheng once told her, “The optimal state in talisman research is to ‘use one generation, research one generation, pre-research one generation, explore one generation.’
The Land Naming Charm is the ‘equipment of one generation.’”
