Shen Ping sat cross-legged, feeling refreshed. He began to study the basic scriptures of the Puppet Beast Scripture.

A few moments later, he was completely immersed in the annotations of the Basic Scripture and the combination of the sixth to tenth basic puppets. The words and figures in the scripture seemed to have a life of their own in his eyes at this moment. They actually automatically demonstrated every detail of the combination.

The tricks mentioned by the Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy kept repeating in his ears. It was as if he had learned something new. Streams of inspiration and understanding of the basic combination of puppets surged from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Ping almost entered a state of seif-absorption. When Yu Qingling and Ying Yue noticed this, they even held their breaths.

Psst. In the four seas of the Niwan Palace, Shen Ping’s mind was racing. Its speed even exceeded his memory speed. Even his divine sense, which had reached the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, was a little tired.

The basic puppet combination in the scripture was originally unpredictable. To understand it, not only did he need the guidance of the Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy, but he also needed to study it himself. However, at this moment, the mysteries of these combinations were completely clear.

Previously, he could not figure out the difficulty even after studying it seriously. Now, he had swept through it and understood the profundity.

Time passed bit by bit.

When it was three in the afternoon, Perfected Lord Yu arrived. Shen Ping still sat cross-legged and stared at the scripture on the jade table, not moving at all. “This is an epiphany…” While Perfected Lord Yu was in shock, he waved his sleeve and did not disturb Shen Ping from quickly leaving the side hall with his daughter and Ying Yue.

Shen Ping did not sense anything. At this moment, the Golden Core with the outline of a strange beast was slowly spinning in his dantian. Waves of light emitted from its surface. Be it his limbs or his Niwan Palace, there was a faint golden color.

The sun was setting. Half of the sky was lit up by the sunset. When the last rays of dusk shone on the long and narrow shadows in the corridor, Shen Ping’s shoulders moved slightly. His eyes regained some luster. He slowly closed the scroll spread out on the jade table, stood up, and paced around the hall.

Tens of breaths passed.

He sat cross-legged again. His divine sense seeped into the core of the jade token and quickly arrived at the trial assessment space. In the dark rocky land, the jagged rocks attacked the defensive spirit light barrier.

Shen Ping turned a blind eye to it and took out 36 basic puppet parts. Then, he quickly combined them. The first 10 basic parts kept changing into various combination patterns in his hand. In the end, they turned into part of the scale pattern of the strange beast.

He lowered his head and looked at the puppet combination. He could not help but smile. He had long been able to create the patterns of the puppet strange beast, but only now did he finally understand the logic. It could be said that as long as he continued to focus on combining them, he could really imitate the charm of the Life Divine Puppet in a few months.

The sky was dark at eight. The array above the island was shining, and a large number of palaces were brightly lit. Looking at the island from afar, it was like a pearl floating on the sea.

On the way back to the Mountain Fire Hall, Shen Ping pondered in the beast carriage. The 36 combinations of the Puppet Basic Scripture were basically the same as the 12 basic special spirit runes of the Talisman Scripture. The further one went, the more difficult it would be to comprehend them.

The first five combinations, under the Moon Spirit Sacred Envoy’s patient guidance, his progress was not slow, but it still took him a few months. The five types from the sixth to the tenth were relatively easy compared to the latter, but according to his previous comprehension speed, he would need at least a year and a half.

Although breaking through to the Golden Core realm would speed up his research, he could save at most ten days to half a month.

After all, this was the basic scripture. Shen Ping had never thought that he could comprehend the Talisman Beast Scripture at such a shocking speed. However, in just a few hours today, he had actually comprehended the complicated changes of the combination of the five basic puppets. This situation clearly did not make sense.

“Life Divine Puppet… Life Divine Talisman… Strange Beast Phantom.”

Thinking of this, Shen Ping shook his head secretly. If this kind of supplementary study of the basic scripture was not bad, he would have long comprehended the 36 basic combinations of the entire Puppet Beast Scripture.

“Speaking of which, what’s different from before is that I’m already in the Golden Core Realm. However, although Golden Core Realm cultivators can speed up their research, it’s not so exaggerated. Could it be…?”

After thinking about it, finally, he set his sights on the surface of the Golden Core. As his divine sense seeped into his body, everything in his dantian appeared in front of him.

Thick magic powers were like a boundless sea of stars. At this moment, they were revolving around the golden core that was shining with a golden luster in the center. With every revolution, purer magic powers were born. Then, they circulated through the meridians and nourished the soul, bones, blood, and bones of the Niwan Palace.

The transformation of a cultivator happened because of the subtle increase in magic power. This process was also known as metamorphosis. However, Shen Ping’s Golden Core was different from any cultivator’s Golden Core in the five continents and four seas. There were clear patterns of strange beasts on the surface, and there was a golden light circulating on these patterns.

Although Shen Ping did not know what this golden light was, he knew its power. And today’s change might be related to it.

Buzz. He activated the technique. The golden light immediately swam. The Nascent Soul’s divine sense carefully guided the wisp of light to circulate along his meridians. This was the first time he had done this.

As the golden light circulated, he immediately felt that his divine sense and mind were unprecedentedly relaxed, just like when he used the virtual interface to break through his skills. Many of his previous confusions were no longer difficult at this moment, as if he could understand them with a little thought.

Especially the final state of the Talisman Beast Scripture. In this state, many inspirations flashed. Shen Ping even had a feeling that if he continued to maintain this state, he would be able to perfectly comprehend 100% of the final state even without studying more techniques.

“It’s really because of the golden light. What is this golden light? It actually has such a magical effect!” After coming back to his senses, Shen Ping realized that the beast carriage had already stopped in front of Hall Master Shan Huo’s hall. Deacon Wang was waiting respectfully at the side. After asking for the time, it was already close to eleven.

He could not help but be shocked. He had only used his divine sense to circulate the golden light for a small circulation, but so much time had passed. Most importantly, he had yet to notice the passage of time.

“Talisman Master Shen, you are now a core disciple and have a high status. You should need a few guards to accompany you.” Deacon Wang reminded him in a low voice, “Although the headquarters is safe and sound, I’m afraid that the other members will disturb you. If there are guards beside you, it will be much less trouble. The Hall Master specially said that if you need guards, you can choose all the members in the hall, including the elders.”

Shen Ping was stunned. He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and was about to reject it when he thought of the unforeseen event today. In the future, if he activated the golden light, it was inevitable that he would be distracted like today. “Deacon Wang, to be honest, my wife, concubine, and Dao companions entered the headquarters as guards…”

Wang Yuanming smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about this, Talisman Master Shen. There are many spots for guards of personal disciples.”

“In that case, Deacon Wang will arrange it.” Shen Ping pondered. Ever since he arrived at the headquarters, Deacon Wang had taken good care of him. He was in charge of the daily cultivation resources and news from the various palaces.

When he was in seclusion to form his Golden Core, Deacon Wang often brought his Dao companion to the Mountain Fire Hall. On the surface, he was visiting, but in fact, he wanted his Dao companion to guide Wang Yun and Yu Yan in their cultivation.

The arrangement of the guards would obviously involve many people. He believed that all the members in the hall were willing to become his guards, so handing it over to Wang Yuanming was also a form of repayment.

Indeed, when Wang Yuanming heard this, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Talisman Master Shen trusts me so much, 1 will definitely do this matter well.”

Shen Ping smiled. “Deacon Wang, you’re being too serious.”

A few days later, with the assistance of the pure gold light, he had already comprehended half of the 36 basic puppet scriptures. If this speed was spread, it would definitely shock the various palaces again.

However, Shen Ping did not show it easily. Moreover, after much consideration, he decided to go to the head hall and ask his master about his situation.

The virtual interface was everything to him, so he naturally would not reveal it. However, the Golden Core was different. This concerned the future. If he did not figure out the situation, it was inevitable that his Dao heart would be affected.

Not long after Shen Ping applied to meet his master, Hall Master Yueling personally appeared and brought him to the Jingsi House again..
