403 9 Talisman Return to Sun (1/2)

”Oh? I think I can form this stack word true talisman today...”

Within the main hall of the courtyard, Zong Shou closed the thick book in his hand. He was deep in thought.

The many books in the Book Hiding Building were left during the ancient era. There wasn't paper at that time and they used bamboo and beast leather.

The book in his hand was exactly that. It was called the spirit ocean stack talisman record. It was something he had flipped out 2 days ago from a corner of the Book Hiding Building B.

Within the Book Hiding Building of the common people path, there were spiritual formations to get rid of bugs. The temperature was also really warm such that the book inside wouldn't decompose even in a hundred thousand years.

However, who knew how many years had passed since this book was read by someone. When Zong Shou flopped it open, it was filled with an unbearable wooden smell.

This book was left by a person known as Linghai Zhenren ten thousand years ago. It was a rare chance and he found the secrets behind the stack word, he tried to stack up spells and talisman to use them.

In the end, Linghai Zhenren had failed. However, before he died he recorded all his understandings and all his trials within this book which fell into the hands of the common people path and was taken out by Zong Shou.

It was not a successful piece, which was why it was buried in dust.

Zong Shou spent 2 full days before he was done with it. There were just 20 thousand words but the words and sentences held deep meaning and he had to understand the meaning within. Within his heart, some of his unclear thoughts were much clearer now.

”So it seems like not only master wanted to use this stack word...”

Breaking into a laugh, Zong Shou's heart calmed down, entering a meditative state. He looked into his soul ocean, and suddenly spiritual energy surged. When such thoughts rose up, he was unable to stop it anymore as they swept about within his soul.

As expected!

Zong Shou didn't hesitate at all and he knew that at this moment he reached the best time to form the true spiritual talisman.

With a thought in his mind, those close to a hundred true spiritual charms in his soul ocean flew up from that soul power ocean.

Then they merged one by one. The entire process was extremely smooth, looking out there was a stack word in the sky above the soul ocean.

It also displayed out numerous spiritual marks which connected to the other 7 talismans.

There was even one spiritual vein that was formed and laid out horizontally within the soul ocean. A full 8 spiritual veins, corresponding to the 8 true spiritual charms causing the soul ocean to become more condensed and have more potential. The vast source spirit was replenishing the spiritual energy within at every moment.

There was even a portion which seeped outside of the body.

”Success!”

When the last stack word talisman was formed, Zong Shou felt his soul ocean whirlpool expand once more. It wasn't as exaggerated as when he advanced to the Return to Sun stage but he increased close to 70% of his spiritual energy!

Even his monster body sensed something. 2 fox ears popped out of his head and there were 6 foxtails that charged out of his back.

”Why did another tail grow? Is there any end to this?”

Regarding his monster body, Zong Shou felt his head hurt. On one side, it was indeed of great help whilst on the other, it was something he wasn't happy about.

Just as he wanted to retract the foxtails, he felt that the seven tail fox illusionary image in his soul ocean started to change.

It was originally the image of the seven tail fox but at this moment, there was suddenly one more tail.

There was also some message which charged into his mind like a wave, causing his brain to feel giddy.

”It's the eight tail sky fox? Did my fox race bloodline already evolve?”

Just when such a thought rose up in his head, Zong Shou knew that something was wrong. As expected in the next moment all around his body, those meridians were all twisting and turning, like it was undergoing a huge change.

Within his soul ocean, the eight tail skyfox and the image of the lightning phoenix seemed to have merged together and started to suppress the flames, like it was trying to swallow it!

Zong Shou's heart was sinking to the bottom, and he knew that the eight tail sky fox and the lightning phoenix—the bloodline which came from god beasts—were working together to get rid of the part of his body which belonged to the human race. Both sides were fighting to the death, the foundations of his world shocking spiritual art were also shaking!

Zong Shou didn't have the time to bother about the pain which was spreading out of his 4 limbs. He only went all out to try to suppress the swallowing of the bloodline. However, the effects were really minuscule.

Slowly it wasn't calm between the eight tail skyfox and the lightning phoenix as both of them started to fight and conflict.

He could only laugh bitterly. Who knew that just gathering this 8th talisman would actually cause such a change…

However in the next moment just as the fire element true qi meridian out of his dual meridians were showing signs of weakening.
