Chapter 374: 371: Three Major Forbidden Talismans_1

Having received such great kindness, there was really nothing more to say.

Moreover, Huang Taiji was already a dead man. As his successor, it was only natural for Yang Chen to help where he could.

“Very simple, since you have obtained my Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts, I am qualified to ask you for this favor. Of course, I am not expecting you to avenge me against Wu Changkong. It has been a thousand years, and it is difficult to fathom the extent of Wu Changkong’s current strength,” Huang Taiji said coldly. “With your strength, seeking trouble with him is undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock.”

“Then, what does senior want me to do?” Yang Chen asked, puzzled.

He initially thought that Huang Taiji was about to speak of his unwillingness for revenge against Wu Changkong, but he didn’t expect him to truly let it go and not ask Yang Chen for revenge. In fact, even if he did ask for revenge, Yang Chen wouldn’t have been unwilling to agree.

It was because the Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts were worth the price. If he couldn’t avenge today, then ten years later, or even a hundred years later, there would always be opportunities.

Huang Taiji sighed, “After you leave here, I hope you can help me investigate the events surrounding my death back then. I want to know what choices Beishan Main City made after learning about my death. If Beishan really abandoned me back then, I hope you can teach them a lesson to some extent. It doesn’t need to be severe, just a lesson.”

“If they didn’t abandon me back then, it means I still have a connection with Beishan Main City. I hope you can pass on the Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts to someone from the future generations of Beishan Main City.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh internally.

He didn’t expect that even at this point, Huang Taiji was still looking out for Beishan Main City. This man was not only incredibly talented but also possessed great loyalty. After a thousand years, he still hadn’t forgotten Beishan Main City. Despite having his heart hurt by them, he still wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly and pass on the Dao of Talismans to Beishan Main City.

With this in mind, how could Yang Chen refuse to help fulfill Huang Taiji’s dying wish?

He bowed respectfully and said, “Senior, I swear that I will investigate everything about the events back then and follow your instructions accordingly.”

“Good, good… With this, I can rest easy.” Huang Taiji slowly closed his eyes, and the force of his divine soul gradually faded, disappearing layer by layer.

Seeing Huang Taiji’s soul fade away, Yang Chen let out a soft sigh. Such an extraordinary figure had met such a tragic end, evoking both pity and lament.

He found a resonance with Huang Taiji: the unwillingness and sorrow of a fallen genius.

Now, as he watched the last remaining proof of Huang Taiji’s existence vanish into smoke and ashes, Yang Chen couldn’t help but bow in tribute towards the direction where Huang Taiji had disappeared, filled with respect.

Not for anything else, but for the incredible Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts that Huang Taiji had created and passed on to him without reservation.

Without obtaining the Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts, it would be very difficult to understand and comprehend their vast and profound nature.

In his previous life, Yang Chen was quite knowledgeable. Common things hardly caught his eye, but he had to admit that Huang Taiji was indeed a rare and extraordinary figure. The Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts were mysterious beyond mysterious, with layers upon layers of profound secrets, representing endless potential to explore.

After a moment of sadness, Yang Chen began to ponder over the Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts and couldn’t help but reveal a hint of joy.

He couldn’t help but smile to himself, not expecting to stumble upon the legacy left by Huang Taiji. If the people of Beishan Main City knew that such an astonishing treasure had been hidden in their land for so many years, and that they had isolated themselves from it, he couldn’t help but wonder how their expressions would change.

Yang Chen was too lazy to think about what Beishan Main City had in mind. After tidying up the temple a little, he ensured that Huang Taiji’s soul would have a good place to rest as it dispersed into the ether.

Afterward, he returned to his resting place and began to carefully study the Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts.

“Huang Taiji’s incorporation of talismans into Martial Arts indeed demonstrates his profound wisdom. The most crucial aspect is that he considered a wide range of possibilities, allowing the talismans to be used in numerous ways.”

Yang Chen searched through his memories and eventually made a rough judgment, putting the Dao of Talismans into five categories.

The first was the ‘Talisman Soldier Scroll’ – Spirit Talisman Crafting Technique.

What was this Spirit Talisman Crafting Technique? For example, the Rune Sword Technique of the Zhou Family, which involved creating talismans to fuse with weapons, and then combining them with Cultivation Methods to produce astounding power. This Spirit Talisman Crafting Technique had a complete description of how to combine weapons and talismans. However, unlike the Rune Sword Technique, which was solely focused on swords…

This Spirit Talisman Crafting Technique could be applied to any weapon.

The second category was the ‘Self-protection Scroll.’

As the name suggests, the Self-protection Scroll was for the creation of protective talismans. Yang Chen searched his memory and found that there were at least a thousand different types of talismans in this category alone. This meant that back then, Huang Taiji had thousands of life-saving techniques in the realm of talismans, which was truly terrifying.

However, the difficulty lay in the fact that even if you had the idea to create such talismans, it wasn’t easy to actually do so. The materials required were too high. It was likely that back then, Huang Taiji could only create up to a third of these talismans at most.

The third category was the ‘Killing Scroll.’

The Killing Scroll, in contrast to the Self-protection Scroll, was all about offensive talismans. The talismans created by this scroll were designed for the purpose of killing.

The fourth category was the ‘Strange Door Scroll.’

This Strange Door Scroll was, in fact, the most unfathomable and profound part of the Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts and could be considered a deviation from the traditional world of talismans. It couldn’t be compared to the simpler talismans from the first three categories at all.

Why?

Because although the first three categories, despite their ingenuity, were still quite conventional talismans, each one within the Strange Door Scroll was incredibly unique and not bound by the usual theories of talismans.

For example, there was the Bean Soldiers Talisman!

Yang Chen was quite shocked to learn that after using specific materials and methods to create this talisman, it could transform into talisman soldiers to assist martial artists in combat. As long as there were enough materials, it wouldn’t be a problem to summon talisman soldiers beyond the True Martial Realm to help oneself.

In addition to the Bean Soldiers Talisman, there were also the Fixing Body Talisman, Thunder Palace, and the Thousand Miles Instant-Travel Talisman…

And as Huang Taiji had mentioned, there were talismans capable of storing and instantly restoring one’s True Qi.

The talismans within the Strange Door Scroll were all about the word ‘strange’ in every aspect!

Of course, that wasn’t the most terrifying part.

The most terrifying part was the fifth category, the ‘Three Major Forbidden Talismans’!

These Three Major Forbidden Talismans were the most frightening secret arts within the realm of Spirit-Talisman Martial Arts. A single ‘forbidden’ character represented everything about them.
