The Pegasus was violent by nature. Because Xu Chengyu was blocking it, it immediately changed its target, flapped its wings vigorously, and stirred up a stream of spiritual energy in an attempt to knock Xu Chengyu away.
Xu Chengyu dodged and turned his head to the side. The next moment, the spiritual energy flow brought by the Pegasus beast hit the stone wall in the distance, blasting a big hole.
He raised his hand and wiped the side of his face with two fingers, where he was scratched by a thorn thrown out by Pegasus's wing.
Xu Chengyu turned his right hand, raised the sword and swung it, the sword's intent was sharp and awe-inspiring, pointing directly at one of the wings of the Pegasus.
The man and the beast fought fiercely on top of the umbrella. If Cheng Huaian hadn't pasted the talisman, the hanging basket would have been even more shaky.
"It seems that Brother Xu can deal with this monster." Ye Su concluded through the mirror beside him.
"We should think about how to get out." Cheng Huaian said.
There was a bottomless area below, surrounded by gray-yellow mud and stone walls. All they knew was that they kept descending, and when they looked up, they found that the ground was getting farther and farther away from them. They couldn't see anything in front or behind, as if they had fallen into a long crack in the ground.
"That's..." Lu Jiu pointed to something not too far away and suddenly said, "A group of Pegasus beasts!"
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and were all dumbfounded. A group of Pegasus were flying towards them from the opposite direction.
Xu Chengyu could still deal with one Pegasus, but this group of beasts could easily trample them into meat paste.
Ma Congqiu said anxiously: "We are really finished this time."
Cheng Huaian glanced around the hanging basket and said, "How long can the barrier block it?"
They couldn't go up, and they weren't fast enough to go down, so when the group of Pegasus came over, they would just bump into them.
"We need to descend quickly." Ye Su said. If they couldn't go up, they could only risk sinking to the bottom. Perhaps after reaching the bottom, they would find something unexpected.
Lian Lian leaned against the hanging basket, with an expressionless face: "Use the Qianjin Talisman."
The Qianjin Talisman can exert gravity, and if it is attached to a person with a low level of cultivation, it can even crush them to death. However, to draw this kind of talisman, one must be at least in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
"I'll draw it." Cheng Huaian walked to the middle of the hanging basket, knelt on one knee, waved one hand to attract the surrounding spiritual energy, and began to draw the Qianjin Talisman at the bottom of the hanging basket.
Ye Su stood beside him and watched him. With every stroke, the hands hanging by his side moved unconsciously, stirring the spiritual energy soundlessly.
No one else noticed it, only Lian Lian felt the deep and shallow fluctuations of spiritual energy. She looked around and finally her eyes fell on Ye Su's fingers moving sideways.
She frowned. He could draw Qi without the help of any Taoist artifact. Was he just in the early stage of Jindan? Although she couldn't draw a complete Qianjin Talisman, she could vaguely see the shape of the Talisman.
Cheng Huaian, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, suddenly cut his index finger when drawing the last stroke and sealed the talisman with blood.
That stroke seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His face turned pale in an instant and he had to support himself on the ground with his other hand to avoid falling to the ground.
At the same time, a white light suddenly appeared on the ground, and the entire hanging basket began to fall madly, and even the umbrella could not stop it.
"Senior Brother, come in!" Zhou Yun shouted upwards.
Xu Chengyu on the top did not hold on. He injured the Pegasus beast with a sword and then jumped to the side.
Ye Su removed the barrier in time, but a moment later, the mad Pegasus stomped hard on the umbrella, making a big hole.
Fortunately, the basket descended too fast and quickly moved away from it. Ye Su reopened the barrier, looked up and saw the hole in the umbrella, feeling a little sorry.
I had been planning to take it apart after rappelling so I could use it again later, but it got stepped on and broken.
"Friend Cheng Dao?" As soon as Xu Chengyu came in, he saw Cheng Huaian half-kneeling on the ground. Seeing that his face was extremely pale, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
"Forcibly drawing talismans of a higher level will consume the talisman master's spiritual blood. It will heal after a while." Lian Lian helped Cheng Huaian up, fed him a healing pill, and said calmly.
Xu Chengyu was also injured. There were many short and thick thorns stuck in his shoulders. Zhou Yun went over to help him take out all the thorns and then applied external medicine.
"We are still going down." Ye Su looked in the mirror, "Pegasus didn't catch up with us."
"Is there a different monster in each section?" Lu Jiu guessed.
"Maybe." Ye Su looked outside. With the Qianjin Talisman, their descent speed indeed became extremely fast, and they could hardly see the mud and stone walls on both sides clearly.
Cheng Huaian calmed down the trauma in his soul and said to everyone, "When I sealed the talisman just now, I seemed to feel an extremely powerful talisman meaning."
He is a rare genius among talisman practitioners. Using the spirit blood sealing talisman, he can not only draw a thousand-jin talisman, but at the same time he can borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to transform it into the meaning of talismans.
However, Cheng Huaian felt that what he had borrowed at that time was not just the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but he also plundered a trace of unknown spiritual energy from below.
After listening to what Cheng Huaian said, Lian Lian also had a guess: "There is only one reason why this place is endless."
"What?" Ma Congqiu asked.
"This is the road to the world, but we haven't discovered how to reach the world, so we've fallen into an endless abyss." Lian Lian said.
Ma Congqiu frowned and thought for a while: "But... in what realm are there various monsters on the path?"
"A great man can fill up the sea and move mountains. What can't he do?" Lian Lian asked back.
This is not wrong. Not to mention those gods who ascended to heaven before the period of god's death, just the powerful people in the world today all have tremendous abilities.
Ye Su listened to their conversation and subconsciously thought of the Dark Realm. It was also a realm, but she had not yet felt any danger from it. It was more like a realm that provided task teaching.
"If we can't find a way to enter the world, won't we just keep falling here for the rest of our lives?" Ma Congqiu looked around, "How can we find it?"
Cheng Huaian stepped forward and said, "Since I was able to vaguely sense something when I drew the talisman just now, I can try a few more times until I grasp the complete meaning of the talisman. Then, perhaps we can get out."
"You will get hurt." Xu Chengyu said.
Cheng Huaian raised his hand to gather his hair from his shoulders and gently threw it behind his back, then half-knelt down as usual and said with a smile, "It's better to get hurt than to stay here forever."
What he drew was a search symbol.
One?, two?... Each one? consumes a lot of energy from the talisman master.
Cheng Huaian looked as if he had been pulled out of cold water. His whole body was soaking wet. Even though he was shaking violently, the hand that was drawing the talisman was still as steady as a rock and could move flexibly.
"Tao gives birth to Tao, the talisman connects the intention, and it's sealed!" His index finger was stained with blood, and he sealed the talisman with the last stroke, then pressed the talisman to the ground with his palm.
"Found it!" Cheng Huaian held back a mouthful of blood, gritted his teeth and shouted to Lian Lian beside him, "Senior Sister, lead him out!"
When everyone was confused, Lian Lian quickly stepped forward, held Cheng Huaian's shoulder with one hand, and took out a jade pen inlaid with gold with the other hand, and drew talismans in the air.
She is only in the late Jindan stage and still needs the help of Taoist objects. This pen is the medium, and there is golden sand in the pen tube.
Even so, Lian Lian found it very difficult to draw, and his hands were shaking violently. After just finishing drawing a talisman, his face looked so bad that it could be compared to that of Cheng Huaian who was half-kneeling on the ground.
The other people in the hanging basket saw the situation and although they were anxious, they were unable to help at all.
Lian Lian could only draw a talisman with difficulty. She had no way to continue. Her bright and beautiful face turned pale. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Ye Su: "You draw it."
"What to draw?" Ye Su was stunned when she saw the pen handed to her.
Lian Lian stared at her: "I know you remember the talisman I drew just now, draw this."
Therefore, Ye Su was forced to do nothing but pick up the jade pen inlaid with gold.
"Painting." Lian Lian took a step back and said.
At the critical moment, Ye Su did not ask any more questions. He followed Lian Lian's painting method, guided the Qi into the brush, and then connected the runes of heaven and earth, turning the virtual into the real. He waved the brush in the air, and golden runes appeared little by little.
This was the first time that she truly felt the aura of talismans through the pen in her hand. The pens she had used in the past were just ordinary pens, completely different from the jade and gold-inlaid pen in her hand at this moment.
"Draw this again." Lian Lian took out a book of talismans from his Qiankun bag, turned to a page, and handed it to Ye Su.
Ye Su: “…” That’s too hasty.
"How can you learn talismans on the spot?" Zhou Yun couldn't bear to watch any longer, "What if there is no painting..."
Before she finished her words, she saw Ye Su had already started painting.
Can you really draw it? It's outrageous.
The three sword-cultivating disciples of our sword sect often deal with talisman practitioners, but they have never seen Ye Su draw talismans so skillfully.
Those talisman practitioners? Do you mean that one needs to learn a talisman for a long time before one can master it
Lian Lian saw Ye Su finished drawing, and flipped through a few pages of the talisman book, and finally stopped: "And this, the three-talisman formation, you draw it all."
Ye Su took a quick look and found that the talisman array was not very different from the talisman. It was round on the outside and square on the inside, connected by three points, and each point was a miniature version of the talisman.
She stared at it for less than a quarter of an hour, then looked away, closed her eyes and concentrated, and finally opened her eyes and picked up the pen to draw the talisman.
The Three Talisman Formation is a talisman that can only be drawn in the late Jindan stage. Even in the middle stage, spiritual blood must be used to cross the level.
This Ye Su had just reached the Golden Core Stage, but she had memorized the Three Talisman Formation in such a short time and even started to draw talismans.
However, Lian Lian didn't have time to think about it at the moment. She stared at the pen in Ye Su's hand, watching the runes she drew, worried that there would be mistakes.
If a talisman practitioner draws a wrong talisman, at best the talisman will be destroyed, at worst he will hurt himself.
Fortunately, Ye Su's every stroke was extremely steady and there were no mistakes.
After all, they were practiced in the dark world. There are hundreds of talismans, each with different patterns and even different styles. If Ye Su wants to draw each one, he needs to spend a lot of time practicing.
On the surface, she had not been in contact with talismans for a long time, but in the dark world, she had spent countless hours drawing talismans.
The more you practice, the better you will get.
Learning an unfamiliar talisman is a common thing for Ye Su.
After all, the Three Talisman Formation requires a talisman practitioner in the late Jindan stage to draw. When Ye Su drew the last talisman, the jade pen inlaid with gold had great difficulty moving.
She wanted to learn how to use spiritual blood like Cheng Huaian, but she had no idea how to mobilize it.
Just at this moment, her sea of consciousness began to boil for no reason, causing chaos in her spiritual palace.
Ye Su kept regulating his breathing, trying to stabilize the sea of consciousness in his spiritual palace.
"What's going on?" Lian Lian saw that her writing slowed down, and a hint of anxiety flashed in her eyes. Then she chanted beside Ye Su, "The way of heaven corrects the shape, the meaning of the talisman follows the heart, the qi purifies the spirit, and transforms!"
Ye Su unconsciously followed Lian Lian's recitation, his spiritual sea of consciousness gradually calmed down, and the brush in his hand moved downwards again, finally reaching the Sealing Talisman Array.
Lian Lian saw the situation and said: "Drive the blood to raise the realm, gather the energy to form a talisman, it's done!"
Ye Su did as she said, with spiritual blood dripping from his fingertips, and he sealed the talisman and formed an array.
For a moment, the light in the hanging basket was so bright that no one could open their eyes, and it was shaking violently at the same time.
Ye Su was about to hold onto something to support himself, but was held by a slightly cold hand.
