Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1550 - 718: New Immortal Dao: Primordial Talisman_2

In his heart, he was somewhat doubtful. Could Grandfather's cultivation truly be enough to stand against Emperor Beiyin?

Back then, during the decisive battle with the Heavenly Venerate, Creation Little Five, due to the Rebirth Furnace of Qiankun, achieved True Immortal status, and his strength was exceedingly high. With Chen Yindou by his side all these years, his progress must have been swift.

Especially when joining forces with Chen Yindou, their strength doubled.

But even so, they couldn't possibly be a match for Emperor Beiyin!

At this moment, the voice of Chen Yindou rang out: "Little Ten."

Chen Shi followed the voice and saw Chen Yindou standing beneath the Spiritual Spring, surrounded by various peculiar Talismanic Seal diagrams hanging in the air. These Talismanic Seals weren't written on paper but hung in the air in forms of light, numbering in great abundance.

Chen Shi walked over, cautiously threading his way through the Talismanic Seals, observing that beside each Talismanic Seal were Dao Patterns and Divine Patterns of varying sizes and structures.

"Little Ten, how would you interpret Talisman, Talismanic Seal, and Seal?" Chen Yindou's voice came from ahead.

Without hesitation, Chen Shi replied: "Talisman depicts the form of Gods and Demons, Talismanic Seal draws the names of Gods and Demons, Seal is the words of Gods and Demons."

These things, since he could remember, were taught to him by his grandfather.

Chen Yindou said: "Observe your surroundings and think again on what Talismanic Seal means?"

Chen Shi paused slightly, carefully examining the Talismanic Seals in the air, only to realize that these Talismanic Seals greatly differed from those he had learned before.

The Talismanic Seals in the air seemed to exist between the state of Dao Patterns and Divine Patterns, encompassing the strengths of both while lacking their weaknesses!

"This is..."

Chen Shi's heart and spirit were greatly shaken.

After achieving success in cultivation, he also pondered carefully the reasons behind the power of Talismanic Seals.

All this originated from the Great Shang, even earlier times, from Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns. Through sacrifice, an extraordinary power gathers, generating Divine Spirits.

People recorded the forms, names, and languages of these Divine Spirits in Talismanic Seals, discovering that Talismanic Seals could harness the power of Divine Spirits, even summon deities.

The development of Talismanic Seals gave rise to the Witch Sacrifice Dao Pattern System, forming its prototype in the Great Xia era and peaking in the Great Shang era.

After reaching its peak, the Witch Sacrifice Dao Pattern System evolved into Immortal Dao Dao Patterns based on Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns.

As carriers describing the forms of gods, Talismanic Seals became foundational to the Immortal Dao, used to depict various deities in the Heavenly Court, borrowing their power.

Cultivators, upon entering cultivation, needed to comprehend these Talismanic Seals to harness the power of deities for battle.

However, after the Harmonization of Heaven and Earth, mastering Dao Power between heaven and earth, becoming Immortal, they could abandon Talismanic Seals, specializing in Dao Patterns, without needing to borrow the power of deities.

Thus, after becoming Immortal, the knowledge of Talismanic Seals learned in the past must be completely discarded!

The Talismanic Seals Chen Yindou now drew in the air seemed to address the issue of Talismanic Seals being inadequate after achieving Immortality from the source.

"Gods are people's reverence and awe of nature, worshiping Heaven and Earth Dao Power, forming spirits. Protectors are hopes placed on prominent figures after death, longing for leaders to continue wielding Natural Dao Power, still safeguarding the people. Talismanic Seals are descriptions of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, just with an extra step."

Standing among thousands of Talismanic Seals, Chen Shi's heart surged with waves.

If laws have old and new, then the laws before Chen Yindou evolved in such steps.

Reverence for the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao gives rise to incense and forms Gods, describing Gods forms Talismanic Seals, Talismanic Seals refine into Witch Sacrifice Dao Patterns, and Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns give rise to Immortal Dao Dao Patterns.

This is an evolutionary sequence of layered progression.

The evolution of the Divine Dao is the gods' own comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, lacking the steps of Talismanic Seals and Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, thus Immortal Dao and Divine Dao do not overlap; Immortals find it difficult to understand Divine Dao Patterns, and deities also find it hard to grasp Immortal Dao Patterns.

Due to several transformations, the description of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao by Immortal Dao Patterns becomes inaccurate, which is why many immortals, upon reaching a bottleneck, cannot break through and turn to seek Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, hoping to find a way to breakthrough therein.

For instance, Immortal Master Erlang broke through by learning the Undying Immortal Method, allowing his Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill to advance.

As the saying goes, an error of a millimeter can lead to a thousand-mile deviation; even a slight mistake at the source accumulates to high-level realms, potentially differing by a vast distance. To correct it, only tracing back to the source will suffice.

"The Talismanic Seals Grandfather draws are a new law. The new law changes the structure of Immortal Dao from the source!"

Chen Shi walked among these peculiar talismans, next to them were the Immortal Dao Dao Patterns and Divine Dao Patterns, serving as interpretations of these talismans.

"These talismans do not depict the Divine but directly describe the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. They draw nourishment from the Divine Dao, Immortal Dao, and Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns to evolve the talismans."

Chen Shi murmured, as he walked between the talismans, growing more and more excited.

By reducing the intermediate steps and minimizing errors, the description of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao becomes incredibly precise this way!

This is what a mature civilization should strive to do!

"Little Ten, have you noticed?" Chen Yindou's voice came from behind.

Chen Shi replied excitedly, "I noticed! Grandpa, you're undertaking an incredible task, reconstructing the Immortal Dao!"

He was thrilled, as Yindu always aimed big. In the era when the Daoist Skills in the West Bull New Continent were in decline, he worked hard to restore them to their peak, trying to complete the Talisman Seal System.

Upon ascending to the Immortal Realm, he remained low-key, but unexpectedly he advanced further based on his previous research!

Chen Yindou said, "The Immortal Dao, having developed to the present, has reached its pinnacle. It cannot remain stagnant. We must start from the source and rebuild the foundation. The foundation of the Immortal Dao has always been shaky; thus, when cultivation reaches a certain level, one inevitably finds a path ahead, but cannot proceed because it has veered off."

Chen Shi walked among the rows of talismans and said, "To correct the course, the foundation must be revamped, striving to eliminate unnecessary steps to encompass more."

Chen Yindou showed approval and said, "You haven't become just a belligerent Martial Artist, very good. Many in the Earth Immortal Realm have also noticed this and are attempting to change the Immortal Dao from the source. They've initiated various attempts, but often it's just patching up the Immortal Dao. Some even plan to restore the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern, which is foolish."

Chen Shi looked at the talismans, agreeing, "They are indeed foolish."

"But there are also wise people."

Chen Yindou changed the subject, "Recently, when I heard about your news, the Immortal Court Right Heavenly Master Hidden Dragon came seeking me. Under him is a group of people like me, targeting the talismans, ready to reconstruct the Immortal Dao from there. They aim to form the smallest structure of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, calling it the Primordial Talisman. Little Ten, that's when I realized that there are indeed people in this world as smart as us."

Chen Shi asked, "How many people?"

Chen Yindou replied, "Sixteen people."

Chen Shi expressed surprise, "So many?"

Chen Yindou was quite pleased by his surprise, "So, never underestimate the heroes of the world."

Chen Shi seriously nodded.

The grandfather and grandson met, and Chen Yindou looked Chen Shi up and down, praising, "You've matured, grown taller, and your complexion is much better than before."

Chen Shi proudly replied, "Moreover, I don't have Grandpa's flaw of being promiscuous. I am the strongest man in the Old Chen Family!"

"I'm proud of you."

Chen Yindou said, "I have also put aside worldly desires. Hence, I could surpass others in achievements related to the Primordial Talisman, becoming the foremost Talisman Master under the Right Heavenly Master Hidden Dragon."

Chen Shi sternly replied, "But Grandpa, your Primordial Talisman still has many shortcomings. This is due to your insufficient accumulation in the Divine Dao, Immortal Dao, and Outer Dao."

Chen Yindou turned his head and said, "If you can't articulate clearly today, I'll beat you as I did Chen Tang."

Chen Shi laughed, "You can't touch me. I've comprehended the Underground Green Palace entirely, fully grasping the subtleties of the Dark Sea Heavenly Dao, and can guide you effortlessly!"

He used his finger as a pen and True Yuan as ink to modify Chen Yindou's Primordial Talisman.

Chen Yindou observed these Primordial Talismans, his expression increasingly serious, nodding repeatedly.

"The Great Heavenly Venerate appointed you as the General of the World, not merely by chance; you surpass King Li in wisdom." He held great expectations for Chen Shi.

Aside, Cui Zhenzhen listened, bewildered, and asked the Creation Little Five beside her, "Do they always speak like this, grandfather and grandson?"

The Creation Little Five replied honestly, "I don't know either. I've just awakened, lost my memory, and don't remember what they were like before."

Suddenly, he transformed from a puppet into a handsome young man.

Cui Zhenzhen stared in amazement; Creation Little Five's transformation into a human resembled Chen Shi and Chen Yindou by seventy percent, but younger than Chen Yindou and more handsome than Chen Shi, carrying a hint of graceful femininity, seemingly a perfect person!

Creation Little Five said troubled, "Father always likes to place his humanity with me, maintaining absolute rationality. In his current state of divinity, he's not troubled by any emotions. Don't approach him; in his divine state, he prefers intelligent people like Little Ten, not you."
