Chapter 7: Evolution of Talismans

  Jiu slowly walked towards the alien beast, his eyes fixed intently on the soul fire that was boiling and burning in the beast's eye sockets.

  When approaching within a dozen meters, the mysterious pale green skeleton beast remained motionless, with only the soul fire burning more turbulently.

  Jiu's heart had a thread of tension, as he gradually approached, he could more clearly feel the fierce and sinister aura in front of him, and within the extremely sturdy and strange skeletal frame, there seemed to be an endless surge of mysterious power.

  The skull of the alien beast has sharp, angular ridges and a thick, horizontal spine with several bony spines standing at an angle, making what was originally the weakest part of its vertebral column - the lumbar vertebrae - into a deadly weapon for attacking and killing enemies. The pale green bony tail swishes back and forth lightly, occasionally sweeping across the ground, instantly creating deep gullies on the hard surface, rendering it extremely fragile.

  The scarlet soul fire in the skull corresponds with the lustrous green of the body, reaching an extreme of eerie and evil charm, yet containing a fierce and violent energy within.

  If this guy were to suddenly attack, he would probably be dead in an instant.

  Jiǔ slowly stretched out his left hand, which was supporting the Town Soul Green Copper, and concentrated his mind to sense the response of the Green Copper in the palm with the Sea of Recognition Talisman.

  The green bronze held in the palm of his hand suddenly reacted, leaving his hand and floating towards the position of the alien beast.

  Jiu heard his heart pounding like a drum, and his gaze turned to the Town Soul Green Copper. The small green copper block had already floated to the position of the alien beast's forehead, suspended in mid-air.

  A strange beast's skull suddenly lit up with a soul fire, and for an instant it seemed like lightning flashed across the sky, blocking people's eyes. The soul fire surged instantly, wrapping around the suspended Town Soul Green Copper in mid-air, before shrinking back into the skull once again.

  Jiǔ's hollow eye sockets could see the soul fire wrapped in green copper, as if it had received the best fuel, burning fiercely, and the rising soul flames filled the entire skull space.

  The color of the soul fire was even brighter and more condensed, with a stronger spiritual aura than before absorbing the Soul Calming Copper, and had already reached the peak of mid-grade corpses.

  A mysterious connection has formed between the strange beast and Zhu Jiu, but instead of feeling joyful, a faint sense of foreboding rises from the bottom of Zhu Jiu's heart. According to the explanation provided by the demon corpse, after absorbing the Town Soul Green Copper, the demon corpse should be able to clearly sense all thought activities of the owner of the talisman, and the demon corpse will obey all commands without exception.

  But Jiǔ tried it out, and it wasn't just that he couldn't control the beast in front of him, he couldn't even sense its existence clearly. What was going wrong?

  Suddenly, a fierce and violent aura burst forth, covering the sky and sweeping across the land. This aura seemed to condense the most ferocious evil energy in the world, mixed with an unyielding will to survive at all costs. It came suddenly, striking Zhou Ji's head with a splitting pain, causing his spiritual sea to churn and his symbols to shake violently. Only then did this extremely fierce consciousness gradually weaken.

  Zhu Jiu's face was covered in cold sweat as he looked up to stare at the alien beast, only to find that its empty eye sockets seemed to be staring back at him. He couldn't understand why. Zhu Jiu felt a hint of mockery hidden within, and the extremely evil consciousness from earlier should have been this guy's soul form. Who would have thought it was so purely ferocious, like the source of all evil.

  The strange beast's skeleton stood quietly in place, the Soulfire wrapped around the tranquil green copper as it floated and sank. The Soulfire suddenly expanded and contracted several times, and the tranquil green copper disappeared into the depths of the crimson Soulfire, never to be seen again.

  This mysterious and powerful alien manipulated the soul fire to swallow the Town Soul Green Copper, then quickly turned over its body, taking steady and crazy steps to gradually move away, neither attacking Zhu Jiu nor becoming Zhu Jiu's underling ghost.

  The Town Soul Green Copper surprisingly had no effect, no, it still had a hint of effect, at least there was a faint connection between the beasts, perhaps this weak connection made the guy choose to leave instead of attacking.

  Jiǔ Dāi stood frozen in place, watching as the strange beast slowly disappeared into the distance, a hint of despair and regret in his heart.

  The Town Soul Green Copper did not play its due role. Is it because of the problem with the method of manipulating the green copper, or is it because of the alien beast itself?

  Jiu didn't continue acting rashly, but stood still, took out the Soul-Calm Green Copper and the Subdue Corpse Demon's operation manual again, carefully read it once more, and found that his method was flawless, completely matching the manual.

  The reason for the failure is that this unusual beast is different from others, and Jiuxin's heart hopes to reignite. Since there is an opportunity to be reborn in such a cultivation world, one should have something to pursue, being different from ordinary people is what it means to be, and such a beast is exactly what one should pursue.

  While pondering, Zhu Jiu suddenly had an epiphany and remembered that in his past life, he had studied the Xiangxi Corpse-Herding Technique, which included a Control Corpse Talisman. Its effect was to effectively manipulate corpses. If it were used with the Evil Spirit Brush on Townsoul Green Copper, who knows what kind of effect it would have?

  Jiu took out a piece of uncarved soul-green bronze, held the evil spirit pen, and slowly carved it according to the memory of the corpse-driving talisman.

  He slowly fell into a strange and focused state, recalling the control of the corpse talisman he had learned in his past life. The evil spirit pen in his hand drew the talismans he had painted countless times in his mind onto the small surface of the soul-fixing green copper without any errors.

  When he recalled this talisman that he had studied in his previous life, the talisman that had just been generated in his sea of consciousness also underwent a mysterious change.

  Quanzheng's concentrated attention to the Nine didn't notice this point until he stopped writing, and suddenly a burst of Sanskrit sounds echoed in his mind, as if a divine being was reciting scriptures in his mind. The golden light flashing symbol in the sea of knowledge had undergone an unknown new change.

  The chanting voice that suddenly echoed in his mind caught Zhu Jiu's attention, and he focused his mind to look inward, only to discover that the originally complex recognition sea symbols now had many more dazzling new marks.

  It's amazing that these new strokes that make people unable to distinguish the beginning and end, Zhu Jiu himself can clearly grasp the order and position of each stroke, even including the distribution of lightness and heaviness when each stroke is running, not a bit messy. This feeling is still fresh and wonderful for Zhu Jiu.

  He repeatedly tried, carefully watching every change, and found that the new change of Shihai Fu was actually automatically absorbing the contents of the Hurried Corpse Symbol he recalled earlier, merging the strokes of the Corpse Control Symbol into the Shihai Fu.

  The Sea of Knowledge Token is incredibly mysterious and can absorb knowledge that benefits itself, evolving and growing in power and spirituality!

  Right after that, Zhu Jiu was shocked to discover that the talismans on his Shenghun Green Copper had also changed on their own, rearranging and recombining, finally becoming identical to the new Shen Hai talisman. It was neither a Corpse-Chasing Talisman nor the original Shen Hai Talisman, but a completely new mysterious talisman.

  At the same time, the originally weak sense of connection between him and the alien beasts suddenly became clear and distinct, it seemed that this newly generated sea of consciousness symbol had extraordinary power.

  Wishing the nine Zhang's eyes, which were slightly open and closed, to be on guard against the killing intent lurking in the demon corpse realm. The secrets of the evolved talismans can be studied later, but for now, the priority is to find one's own first demon corpse.

  Following the connection that had become clear in his soul, Zhu Jiu lifted his foot and chased after the direction where the strange beast had disappeared, tightly grasping the newly carved Soul-Clearing Green Copper in his hand, he was going to try again.

  I hope everyone can support and help, recommend and collect, it's really needed, thank you sincerely!
