On the Avenue.

Chapter 256: Ten Absolute Formations

Only the body above the chest of the Talisman God Tianji remained, and the lower half of the body had been rotten to pieces. Even the upper half was riddled with holes, with traces of various magic weapons, wounds left by minions, and damage caused by spells.

There was a hole in his head, a large piece of it missing from the back of his head, as if a cylinder as thick as a fist had accurately passed through his brain from the side, causing damage.

A normal person would never survive such a serious injury.

However, this talisman god Tianji survived and lived in the corridor of the True King's Tomb for many years.

He is a man of flesh and blood, but he exudes an evil aura that is unique to evil spirits.

——The things my grandfather created often have serious evil spirits.

His head seemed to be not in good condition. He looked at Chen Shi and said without any human emotion in his voice, "Chen Tang, your father wants you to come home."

He seemed to have fallen into a state of death again, lying on the ground without any breath.

However, flesh and blood were wriggling in the wound on his chest.

Fu Shen Tianji is actually repairing itself!
"Creator Xiaowu can do it too! Even stronger!"

When Chen Shi saw this scene, he was shocked and horrified, thinking that the Creator Xiaowu was beaten to death by his grandfather twice, but he was resurrected both times!
And he was resurrected by his own strength!
Fu Shen Tianji also possesses the ability to self-repair. Although Chen Shi has inherited the true teachings from his grandfather, he cannot figure out where this ability comes from.

However, the other Fu Shen Tian Ji did not repair themselves.

It can be seen that Fu Shen Tianji's repair ability is limited, and if he dies, he may be really dead.

Chen Shi walked towards the library, looked back, and thought to himself, "After all, this is my grandfather's legacy. I can't let it rot here. I'll take it with me when I leave."

The library in King Zhen's Tomb is actually a stone chamber. The portal of this stone chamber has no physical body, but is made of extremely complex talisman components. Various talisman patterns are connected to form the shape of a portal.

If you want to enter, you have to pass through these talisman patterns.

Various talisman patterns are interconnected, and large and small ones form a series of formations that are extremely complex but equally exquisite, forming a harmonious and unified whole.

There is only one solution!

Chen Shi stared at the door of the stone chamber and saw at a glance the solution to the structure of the talisman formation at the door.

His grandfather had drawn many similar talisman formations before he died, from easy to difficult, and gave them to him to decipher.

At the beginning, Chen Shi found it boring to solve this kind of talisman formation, but as he solved it more and more, he found that there was a lot of fun in it. Every time he solved the problem successfully, he felt extremely happy.

The portal to the library in the True King's Tomb was the most complicated he had ever seen, but to him, it was just complicated.

"Grandpa asked me to break a similar talisman formation back then. Was it for today?"

Chen Shi felt warm in his heart as he looked at the structure of the talisman formation, speculated on every change, and even reversed the starting points of various talismans.

All talismans have a beginning point, and are completed in one go by the talisman master who uses his energy and spirit to create them.

All talismans, though seemingly flat, are actually three-dimensional, compressed from a three-dimensional state into a flat surface. But if they are to be cracked, they must be restored to three-dimensional form.

However, the process of the talisman changing into a three-dimensional form is the process of the talisman's power exploding. If you want to crack the talisman, you can't let it explode. Therefore, you must construct the three-dimensional form of the talisman in the solver's own mind.

It is a difficult problem for many people to deduce from flat talismans to three-dimensional talismans. Therefore, although there are many talisman masters, only a few of them can decipher talismans.

The solution to the talisman portal in front of you is to find its starting point and the source of its spirit.

When Chen Shi looked around, the talisman portal was no longer a flat surface in his eyes, but a killing field formed by gods and demons fully armed!
These gods and demons are scattered throughout the space in an orderly manner.

And their starting strokes formed a complex talisman seal pattern.

Ten absolute spiritual flags!
Chen Shi was slightly startled. He had learned the Ten Absolute Spiritual Banner Talisman from his grandfather. The structure of this talisman was complicated, but it was useless and could not activate its power. His grandfather just asked him to draw it a few more times and remember the structure of the talisman, but did not explain what the talisman was used for.

Now it seems that grandpa told him the correct answer in advance!
However, when Chen Shi saw the talisman formation at the door of the library, he finally understood how to unleash the power of the Ten Absolute Spiritual Banners.

"All the talisman seals form the strokes of the Ten Absolute Spiritual Banner Talismans. There are 256 strokes in total, corresponding to 256 kinds of talisman seals, which together form the Ten Absolute Disaster Formation. So..."

Chen Shi stood in front of the door, staring in a daze at the formation formed by these talismans.

Then, by activating the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talismans, and taking each stroke of the Spirit Banner Talisman as a starting point, wouldn't it be possible to create a Ten Absolute Disaster Formation within a moment?
Instead, he was not in a hurry to enter the library, but stood in front of the door and quietly studied the various changes of the Ten Calamities Formation.

The tomb-guarding beast with goat horns and human body also knew that it was extremely difficult to break into the door, so it was in no hurry to urge him and waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Shi understood all the changes of the Ten Absolute Formation. He closed his eyes, and in his mind, the Ten Absolute Spirit Banners changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one. From one talisman, it evolved into 256 talismans, transforming into 256 gods!
The formation changed, and in an instant the murderous aura surged!
Chen Shi opened his eyes, and two streaks of blood shot out of them. It was the Ten Calamities Formation that he had just constructed in his mind, and the murderous aura had not yet completely dissipated, and it was still shooting out from his eyes.

Only then did the murderous aura completely dissipate.

Chen Shi also returned to normal. He raised his hand and pressed it on the Ten Absolute Tribulations Formation that formed the portal. In an instant, the entire portal shrank rapidly, transforming from a murderous talisman formation into a Ten Absolute Spirit Banner talisman.

Chen Shi took a step forward, passed through the Ten Absolute Spirit Banners, and walked into the stone chamber.

He was delighted in his heart that he had learned the Ten Absolute Spiritual Banners and mastered the Ten Absolute Formations. He was happier than if he had learned any magic!
Because this solved a problem that had troubled him for a long time.

In the library are scrolls of golden books, with skilled craftsmen grinding gold into pages and printing various skills on the golden pages.

Paper can weather and break, ink can fade, stone tablets can decay over time, and the writing can become blurred, but gold can last forever and is most suitable for recording important things.

"Ten Books on Cultivation".

The first volume of the golden book came into Chen Shi’s sight.

He opened it and saw that the book talked about the ten methods of cultivating the Tao, from refining Qi to building a foundation, to overcoming tribulations and ascending to heaven. It was a very complete book of ten methods!

In particular, these ten methods encompass the techniques for transcending tribulation and ascending to the realm that are unknown to today’s cultivators!
"nice one!"

Chen Shi's heart was pounding as he opened another golden book.

"The Wonderful Sutra of the Great Golden Court"!
Chen Shi flipped open the book and saw that there was no foundation-building, no golden elixir, no Nascent Soul in it. The very beginning talked about how to achieve the Dao!
He looked for a moment, felt dizzy and his head hit the ground with a thud. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly woke up, feeling horrified.

"I fainted? I just took two glances and fainted?"

He was horrified and after standing up, he quickly closed the "Tai Shang Jin Ting Miao Jing" and dared not read it again.

"The Great Light Divine Mantra of the Supreme Being".

Chen Shi looked at it for a few seconds, then fell to the ground with a thud. After a long time, his eyes moved, and he slowly woke up. He closed the golden book and walked to the next golden book.

"The Inner Secrets of the Nine True Beings of Shangqing".

After a while, Chen Shi fell on his back on the ground and slept peacefully.

"The Golden Scroll of Dantian Siming".

Fell to the ground and slept peacefully.

"The Emperor's Purple Palace Merits".

Fell to the ground and slept peacefully.

"The Seventeen Great Mantras of Compassionate Light to Purify Heaven and Earth".

Fall to the ground, peacefully.

"The Nine Heavens Chronicles of the Jade Emperor".

Fell to the ground.

……

The tomb-guarding beast with goat horns and human body watched Chen Shi fall down again and again in the treasure pavilion, fall into a deep sleep, and get up again and again to continue flipping through the books. It couldn't help but be surprised: "The Saint Envoy's mind is extremely strong. He has read so much and yet he is not dead." It has a very good temper and waits patiently.

There are indeed immortal arts in the library, but they are not for ordinary people to see, and they cannot remember them after reading them. Chen Shi is considered lucky because he fell asleep immediately after taking a look. This shows that Chen Shi has a strong mind and a pure Nascent Soul.

After seeing it, most people often die with blood coming out of all their orifices, or become insane and mentally disturbed, or become stupid and foolish like a puppet, or even become a vegetable.

Chen Yindu is such a powerful person, he took great pains to get here, but he didn't touch any of the immortal skills. He only dared to snatch away one of the "Water and Fire Refining Techniques" to practice corpse-transmigration. It can be seen how difficult the immortal skills are.

With a view like Chen Shi's, even if he was a great master who had achieved the state of spiritual cultivation, he would have died in regret long ago. But Chen Shi actually just fell asleep, which was really strange.

Finally, Chen Shi stood in front of a golden book, opened it and read it, and did not faint for a long time.

"The Merits of Emperor Xiaolang".

Although he didn't faint, Chen Shi didn't understand much either.

He opened his eyes wide, and tried hard to memorize the contents of "Xiaolang Emperor's Chapter" by rote, including the incantations and mantras.

His grandfather once told him that it was okay if he didn’t understand, just write it down and comprehend it slowly in the future.

After a long time, Chen Shi wrote down Emperor Xiaolang's achievements, closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, and after confirming that it was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked out and suddenly felt dizzy. He hurriedly held onto the wall to avoid falling.

His heart was pounding, and the scene before him seemed to have two layers, sometimes overlapping and sometimes separating.

"My mind is hurt, and my Nascent Soul is damaged!"

Chen Shi tried his best to keep himself steady, but the door to the stone chamber had been sealed again.

He took a long breath, and barely activated the Ten Absolute Spiritual Banners, but almost made a mistake.

He quickly withdrew his hand and did not try to open the portal.

There is no room for carelessness in opening the door to the stone chamber. If he makes a mistake, the Ten Deadly Formations will explode and he will be destroyed both physically and spiritually!
Chen Shi closed his eyes and rested for a while. After his body recovered a little, he tried a few more times. The Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman did not go wrong again.

Only when he was completely sure did he open the door to the stone chamber.

The goat-horned tomb guardian beast waited quietly for him to leave the stone chamber, and then said, "The Holy Envoy is extremely remarkable."

Chen Shi was still dizzy and felt like he couldn't breathe. He asked, "What's so great about that?"

The tomb guardian beast with goat horns and human body said: "After reading so many immortal books, you can still walk out alive, your state of mind is still stable, and there is no mistake, which is amazing. Even if it is a master in the Return to Void Realm, I am afraid he would have died by now."

It was quite curious about Chen Shi.

Such performance is definitely not something a young man in the Nascent Soul stage could accomplish, but Chen Shi forced himself to memorize a golden book and walked out of the library in the True King's Tomb alive. It was truly bizarre.

Chen Shi grabbed the Fu Shen Tianji and tried to drag him out of the True King's Tomb, but as soon as he exerted force, he fell to his knees.

"Can you help me drag him out?" Chen Shi staggered to his feet and asked.

"Happy to oblige."

The tomb-guarding beast with goat horns and human body gently grabbed the talisman god Tianji and walked out.

Chen Shi staggered after him. When they arrived outside the tomb of the True King, the sunlight fell into his eyes. He felt dizzy and hurried to stand firm.

The goat-horned human-shaped tomb guardian beast sent him and Fu Shen Tianji out of the ghost and god realm of the True King's Tomb. Hei Guo hurried forward and helped Chen Shi get into the car. Chen Shi almost fell into the car and didn't move.

Hei Guo looked at Fu Shen Tianji with a look of shock, and quickly dragged the disabled Fu Shen into the car.

The tomb guardian beast with goat horns and human bodies watched them go away and asked in confusion, "Strange, how can he read so many immortal books without dying..."

Chen Shi's mind was filled with noise. He struggled not to faint and said weakly, "Don't go home. Go to Jinghu Villa."

The wooden cart immediately turned and drove towards Jinghu Villa.

When they arrived outside the villa, Hei Guo immediately jumped down, rushed into the villa holding Chen Shi, opened the coffin, and sent him inside.

Chen Shi lay in the coffin and fell into a deep sleep.

The 16th day of the first lunar month arrived quickly, and Sun Yisheng had prepared his carriage and horses and was waiting at the entrance of the village. He sent someone to Chen's house, but Chen Shi was not at home.

When it was bright, Chen Shi sat in a wooden cart, which drove out of Qianyang Mountain and arrived at Huangpo Village.

Sun Yisheng rushed over and was shocked to see Chen Shi's pale face. He asked, "Master Chen's Nascent Soul was damaged?"

Chen Shi sat in the car, feeling a little exhausted, and said, "I was hurt yesterday, and my Nascent Soul was also damaged."

He lay in Jinghu Villa for a night. It was a good place to recuperate and he could quickly replenish his blood and energy, but his mind and soul were damaged, so the healing speed was a bit slow.

He has eaten countless soul-resurrection lotuses, and his soul is strong. His mind is far superior to that of ordinary people, so he will not be easily injured, but if he is injured, it will be difficult for him to recover.

"The Nascent Soul is damaged and needs to be nurtured with a scented oil lamp."

Sun Yisheng said, "Let's go to the town ahead. I'll buy some incense oil. Master Chen, take out your Nascent Soul and place it in the flame of an oil lamp. Use the pure Yang energy of the flame to nourish it."

Chen Shi thanked him and said, "My Nascent Soul is a bit big, so I need to buy a bigger oil lamp."

Sun Yisheng smiled and asked, "How big is Young Master Chen's Nascent Soul?"

Although he could tell that Chen Shi was in the Nascent Soul stage, he didn't know the progress of Chen Shi's cultivation.

Chen Shi's Nascent Soul left his body and sat in the void. There was a faint golden halo around him, giving people a sense of boundlessness.

The Yuanying was four inches tall when sitting and six or seven inches tall when standing. Its entire body was snow-white, just like a baby, but it looked sickly and listless.

Sun Yisheng was shocked. The Nascent Soul cultivation had reached this stage and was almost perfect!

Chen Tang never said that Chen Shi’s cultivation had reached such a high level!

"You are worthy of being the top scholar among the fifty provinces."

He was a little worried. Such a big Nascent Soul could not be treated by incense oil lamps. The little Yang energy emitted by a pot of burning incense oil would be immediately absorbed by Chen Shi's Nascent Soul.

If you want to cure it, the money spent on incense and oil will probably be at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.

He doesn't have that much money.

Hei Guo went into the village and helped Chen Shi pack his clothes and put them in the car. Chen Shi felt a little cold, so he put on two more pieces of clothes to keep warm.

Hei Guo looked at Sun Yisheng, who understood and nodded, "Okay, let's go to Gangzi Village first, and then go to town to have some breakfast."

He gave the order and the carriage set off.

At this moment, Sun Yisheng was suddenly stunned: "Just now, did the dog talk to me? If it didn't talk to me, how would I know to go to Gangzi Village? Strange, really strange!"

Not long after, the two cars arrived at Gangzi Village. A tall and beautiful woman came over. Seeing Chen Shi, she was surprised and asked, "Xiao Shi, how did you hurt your Nascent Soul and your mind?"

Chen Shi struggled to stand up and wanted to greet him, but was held down by the beautiful woman, who asked, "Sister Sha, do you have any way to treat it?"

"Your injuries cannot be cured by ordinary incense oil lamps. You need to use the sheep horn heavenly spirit lamp. Although this object is from ghosts and gods, its flame is the flame produced by the burning of souls. It is most suitable for healing the injuries of the mind and soul."

The beautiful woman was Granny Sha. She took out the sheep-horn heavenly spirit lamp from somewhere, put it in the car, and said with a smile, "This lamp originally belonged to you. It is just right for you to heal your wounds. I will borrow it from you when I need it."

Chen Shi thanked her, and his Nascent Soul left his body and entered the flame of the Sheep Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp, and he immediately felt much more comfortable.
