Talisman Emperor

King Mo Luo chuckled and said, “Don’t worry. So long as you help me kill King Gu Yuan, then I guarantee that I’ll share the Core of Origin World with you!”

The Core of Origin World!

King Jiu Ling’s heart shook when he heard these words, and his gaze flickered.

According to rumor, King Gu Yuan had obtained the energy within the Core of Origin World, and it had allowed him to step foot into that unique peak realm of the Dao!

King Jiu Ling was naturally very clearly aware of it, and he was even aware that the Core of Origin World really did exist!

After a long time of silence, King Jiu Ling said in a low voice, “I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

An expanse of dazzling golden divine radiance surged out explosively from within him, and then rumbling resounded as his figure soared into the sky. He’d actually left as soon as he finished speaking those words.

King Mo Luo watched him leave while a wisp of a secretive smile couldn’t help but arise on the corners of his mouth. This world… is finally about to change!

…

Ancient Origin Region.

There was a verdant and luxuriant valley there. It was suffused with an ancient and primitive aura, and it was covered in dark blue and hazy light that made it seem dreamlike, mysterious, and divine.

“Variables…. Change….” King Gu Yuan’s towering and lofty figure was rooted in the depths of the valley, and his verdant branches and leaves that enveloped his surroundings had even blotted out the sky while revealing boundless divine might.

He was pondering in silence.

In the boundless years of the past, he’d been constantly worried that change would appear, but never had he imagined that this change was actually unavoidable.

Om!

King Gu Yuan suddenly stretched out a verdant and glistening branch and waved it in the air, causing an extremely dazzling and resplendent dark blue circle of light to suddenly appear here.

The dark blue circle of light was clear like a gem, clear blue like the sky, and suffused with a gentle, peaceful, and primitive aura.

As soon as it appeared here, it caused the entire valley to be covered in an indescribably mysterious aura. When looked at from afar, it caused others to be unable to help but arouse heartfelt reverence and truly wish for nothing more than to lay prostrate on the ground and kowtow in worship!

At this moment, even King Gu Yuan had become solemn, devoted, and even revealed a wisp of fervent reverence.

He was like a devoted disciple that was paying respect in front of the altar!

He stared fixedly at the circle of dark blue light, and then sorrow gradually surged throughout his body.

“Master, the prophecy seems to be about to come true. When… will you be able to wake up?” King Gu Yuan sighed with a wisp of sorrow.

“Master, this old servant of yours has disappointed you. This old servant has tried his best throughout these years, yet I’ve actually been unable to comprehend your truly inheritances and completely control the Dao of the Origin World. I’m truly unable to rest easy.

“Nevermind. If this change is impossible to turn around, then I swear to protect the Origin World to my death. Even if I’m crushed to powder!

“Master, please… wake up soon….”

…

Huff!

Late at night. Chen Xi was hidden in the shadow of a deserted mountain ridge in Brink Region, and he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief when he noticed that the danger they faced had vanished.

“How close. I almost caused a monstrous calamity to befall us.” Chen Xi muttered while he still felt a lingering fear in his heart.

While he was cultivating earlier within the underground cave, he’d become completely immersed in his cultivation and had become oblivious to everything. So, he’d actually caused such a commotion and shocked the entire Lost World, and it was even to the extent that King Mo Luo, King Jiu Ling, and King Gu Yuan had been alarmed.

If Ming hadn’t warned him in time, then the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Fortunately, at that critical moment, Chen Xi had actually been able to rely on his Origin Energy to activate the Daoseal Mark within his soul. Thus, he was able to conceal their tracks, soundlessly avoid the detection of those formidable consciousness, and resolve the calamity they faced.

When he thought up to here, Chen Xi said to Ming, “Thank you.”

At this moment, Ming felt a slight lingering fear as well, and she spoke unconsciously upon hearing this. “What exactly happened just now?”

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed bitterly and shrugged. “Even I never imagined that merely the 1st level of the Origin Creation Technique would actually cause such a huge commotion. It was truly unusual.”

Ming seemed to be lost in thought while she said, “Looks like all of this is really related to that cultivation technique that you’ve created. Perhaps it was exactly because that cultivation technique was too heaven defying that it even shocked the Heaven Dao of this world.”

Chen Xi thought for a moment, and then he shook his head and said, “It probably isn’t. I’m able to clearly sense that the energy of the Heaven Dao in this Lost World, the Origin World, is very special. Its Order and Laws are in an absolute state of silence. It feels like they’ve lost all vitality, and it’s indescribably deathly silent.”

Ming couldn’t help but feel shocked. “Really?”

The Heaven Dao was indistinct, existed everywhere, and was impossible to judge. It was the first time that she’d heard the Laws and Order of the Heaven Dao in a world was actually in a state of absolute silence.

Chen Xi nodded and said, “I’ve fought the Sovereign Sect’s Eye of Heavenly Tribulation on more than one occasion in the outside world, and I’ve experienced numerous tribulations that were sent down by the Heaven Dao as well. When compared to them, the energy of the Heaven Dao in the Origin World is simply at another extreme.”

Ming’s eyes narrowed as she seemed to have thought of something, and she said, “I understand now. The Heaven Dao of the Origin World is either on the verge of destruction or it has been sealed!”

Chen Xi said with shock, “What’s going on?”

A wisp of recollection flashed within Ming’s eyes, and she said after a long time passed, “When the Shaman Era was on the verge of obliteration, the energy of the Heaven Dao at that time had fallen into such a state. I’ve experienced it in the past, and that’s why I’m so sure.”

She paused for a moment before she continued. “However, the Origin World is unlike the Shaman Era. It possesses a unique Heaven Dao of its own, and it’s completely isolated from the outside world yet is able to survive until now. According to my deduction, it might have been because its Heaven Dao was sealed, and that was the only reason it survived until now.”

Even though he understood Ming, Chen Xi’s heart was still unable to calm down. The Heaven Dao was sealed? Could anyone in the world accomplish such a feat?

That’s the Heaven Dao!

This is truly unimaginable.

A short while later, Chen Xi sighed with emotion. “So, in this way, perhaps we have to try to break through its seal in order to leave the Origin World?”

Ming thought for a moment before she said, “I can’t say for sure. But it’s clearly a bit too early to talk about all of this right now.”

Chen Xi instantly came around, and he said with self-ridicule, “Right, our strengths can’t even compete with those three supreme kings of the Origin World, so it’s truly unnecessary worry to consider all of that now.”

Ming suddenly changed the topic. “Since cultivating with your Origin Creation Technique causes such a huge commotion, do you still intend to continue cultivating with it in the future?”

Chen Xi smiled and said, “It won’t happen again. I wasn’t aware that it would cause such a commotion, so I’ll naturally pay attention to preventing that from happening when I cultivate in the future.”

He’d created the Origin Creation Technique himself, so he was naturally clearly aware that it was entirely possibly to avoid that problem if he were to pay attention to it.

As he spoke, he directly passed the 1st level of the Origin Creation Technique to Ming via voice transmission. “Try to cultivate it for now. Feel free to ask me if you don’t understand anything.”

It was still late in the night right now, and the nine moons were still illuminating the sky and emanated boundless Origin Energy essence.

Ming didn’t hesitate, and she silently comprehended and pondered on it after she obtained the cultivation technique. Once she was sure that she’d fully comprehended it, she sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate.

Chen Xi flicked his sleeve, and then a rain of light descended and transformed into a formation that fully concealed this area.

After he cultivated with the Origin Creation Technique, Chen Xi clearly sensed that he was entirely capable of utilizing the Laws and Order of the Origin World.

Even though this world didn’t possess the Talisman Dao, it didn’t represent that the Talisman Dao didn’t exist. It was like how he’d refined and absorbed the Era Brands of the last 8 eras, he’d utilized the energy of the Talisman Dao to accomplish that.

Now, he’d grasped the Laws and Order of the Heaven Dao in the Origin World, and it was equivalent to grasping the core of Origin Energy. So, he was fully capable of controlling it at will.

Any cultivation technique of the outside world and even forces or techniques like the Sword Dao, Talisman Dao, the five elements, Yin, Yang, lightning, wind, light, darkness could be used as reference and utilized via Origin Energy. This would allow them to reveal all sorts of terrifying and unique might while being utilized through Origin Energy.

This was the benefit of comprehending the method to cultivate Origin Energy. Taking control of strength was only secondary, and it was taking control of the Laws and Order of the Heaven Dao that was the key.

Moreover, comprehending the Laws and Order of the Origin World had allowed Chen Xi to obtain a huge amount of information related to the Origin World.

For example, the Origin World had actually existed for exactly the same amount of time since the Chaos of the three dimensions had been split open. Both of them had experienced 8 eras!

This even made Chen Xi suspect that more than one Heaven Dao had been born when the Chaos of the three dimensions was split apart!

So, where did this unique Heaven Dao that filled the Origin World come from?

A further example was that while the Origin World had existed for countless years, its Heaven Dao had been in a constant state of absolute silence. This caused the cultivation system related to it to become extremely crude and simple. It was even to the extent that a civilization of cultivation and cultivation system hadn’t even been formed.

This meant that it was utterly impossible for sects to exist within the Origin World.

Without sects, it was naturally impossible for it to possess all sorts of cultivation techniques, combat techniques, paths of cultivation, and so on and so forth.

In other words, the entire Origin World was in a state of early beginning when techniques hadn’t even been born. Everything related to cultivating had been formed naturally, and it seemed to be extremely disorderly.

For example, the living beings within Origin World were only able to cultivate because they were cultivating naturally as an effect of the bloodline and natural talent their possessed, and they’d never considered that there was a system to cultivate or that they could learn and create.

Of course, Chen Xi had seized a cultivation technique from the Golden Armored Ant King. But in Chen Xi’s opinion, that cultivation technique was simply crude to the extreme. Most importantly, it was made specially for the Golden Armored Ant King, and it was utterly unsuitable for any other living beings.

This meant that a small portion of the living beings in the Origin World were consciously trying to create cultivation techniques, but it was far from sufficient to form a true cultivation system.

It was a very strange feeling. It was like laying eyes on an ancient place that could clearly give birth to all sorts of prosperous civilizations of cultivation. However, the Heaven Dao was in a state of absolute deathly silence, so this ancient place hadn’t been able to form a true cultivation system of its own until now.

Chen Xi couldn’t help but be slightly surprised when he found out about all of this. Exactly what force was capable of putting the Origin World’s Heaven Dao into such a state and caused the Origin World to fall into such a state?
