Old Twelve's eyes were shining with excitement and agitation, and his body was shaking as if he was looking at a monster.
"Ninth-level soul power?"
Seeing the look on Old Twelve's face, Wutan was extremely confused.
The little fellow woke up from his sleep, and as his golden scales opened and closed, he swallowed the last ray of lightning power. Then he stood up, stretched himself, and teased, "Old man, are you having epilepsy? You keep shaking."
"Go away, you are the one having epilepsy. I am just excited, do you understand?" Old Twelve rarely showed any anger or glare. He stared at Wutan closely, like a weasel seeing a chick, with a burning gaze.
Being stared at like this by an old man, Wu Tian got goosebumps all over the floor, and hurriedly asked: "Senior, what is ninth-order soul power? Can you explain it clearly first?"
In fact, Wu Tian was trying to change the subject.
The Twelve Elder seemed to have also noticed his own inappropriate behavior. He coughed and in the blink of an eye, he recovered his immortal appearance and said, "Wutian, you really surprised me. Even the most talented people can only condense the soul power of the third or fourth level at the beginning, but you have directly reached the ninth level of soul power. Such talent is rare, rare!"
The little guy said, "Old man, calm down, talk slowly, don't be anxious."
The Twelve Old Man shook his head. How could he remain calm about such a thing? He explained, "The level of soul power is closely related to the engraving of forbidden talismans. For example, a first-level soul power can engrave a first-level forbidden talisman, a second-level soul power can engrave a second-level forbidden talisman, and so on."
"So that's how it is. As you said, the little emperor possesses ninth-level soul power. Can he directly carve a ninth-level forbidden talisman? In other words, he is now a ninth-level great forbidden master and can cast a ninth-level restriction?" said the little guy.
"The way of prohibition is profound and unfathomable. You think it's too simple." Old Twelve sneered and said, "Possessing soul power is one thing, and engraving forbidden talismans is another."
The Twelve Old Men said that the emergence of soul power only meant that you had a talent for the way of prohibition and had gone higher than others, while engraving the forbidden talismans still required comprehension, and one had to comprehend it step by step and advance gradually.
For example, when the first-level restrictions are thoroughly comprehended and one can easily carve out forbidden talismans, one can then begin to practice the second-level restrictions.
“However, Wujitian’s soul power has just been condensed, but it has already reached the ninth-level quality. There is no doubt about his talent. As long as he perseveres in the future, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the ninth-level great forbidden master.” said Old Twelve.
Wutan understood that the way of prohibition is similar to the way of cultivation. The higher the initial foundation, the higher the level that can be achieved in the future. But the prerequisite is to work hard. If you don’t work hard, no matter how good your talent is, it will only be a decoration.
Immediately, he asked again in confusion: "Senior, what level is your newborn soul power?"
When Old Twelve heard this, a blush appeared on his face. He hesitated for a while before slowly speaking: "When I was born, my soul power was at the third level. However, after these years of hard work, I have reached the ninth level of soul power. I am also a well-known existence in Qinglongzhou."
To be honest, Old Twelve felt quite embarrassed. He had practiced hard for hundreds of years before his soul power broke through to the ninth level and became a ninth-level great forbidden master. However, the wild boy in front of him had the same soul power as himself at the beginning. He was really a little monster.
This also confirms the old saying: comparing yourself with others will only make you feel nauseous!
"Hey, old man, I know you're feeling bad. You must be jealous, envious and resentful of the little emperor. Hurry up and vent all your dissatisfaction. Otherwise, it will hurt your body."
The little fellow did not forget to strike when he got the chance, laughing shamelessly, which made Old Twelve, who was standing by, glare at him angrily, wishing he could pluck out its skin and make it into gloves.
"Old man, why are you glaring at us? We haven't come to you to settle the score for the lightning that struck us."
The Twelve Old Man snorted coldly, "I did that for your own good. Don't judge others by your own standards."
"Alas! Some people pretend to be virtuous and wise all day long, but they secretly plot against the two juniors. However, they can't do anything about it. Then they try to save face and say it's for their own good. But in fact, they are useless!" said the little guy sarcastically.
The twelfth elder was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He angrily said, "Little bastard, are you tired of living?"
"Come here, Mr. Frog's neck is right here, you can take it. But if I die, the little emperor will definitely be sad. Once he's sad, he might commit suicide. If he commits suicide, some people will have no chance to perform!"
"Calm down, you must stay calm, or else people will say that I am bullying the weak."
Old Twelve said silently in his heart, trying to keep himself calm. With a wave of his hand, the three of them instantly came to the eighth floor of the stone tower, and then sat on the ground, motioning the two to sit down.
After Wu Tian and the other man sat down, Old Twelve glared at the little fellow and went straight to the point: "Wutian, you already have the soul power, and now I will teach you how to carve the forbidden talisman.
The first is the 'forbidden stone'. The quality of the forbidden stone will affect the number of times the ban is used.
A poor quality forbidden stone can only be used once or twice after the forbidden words are engraved on it, but a good forbidden stone can be used more than ten times without breaking, so the forbidden stone is extremely important!"
As he spoke, he took out several white stones from his mustard seed bag and said, "This is a first-level forbidden stone that can be engraved with a first-level restriction. Although it is only the lowest level, it is hard to break and is no worse than iron rock. It has the effect of keeping the soul power from dissipating."
Wutan picked up a forbidden stone and placed it in the palm of his hand. It was rectangular in shape, about the size of a baby's palm, with a flat and smooth surface and a faint white glow.
However, when he infused his soul power into it, he felt as if he was imprisoned, as if he was stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate himself.
The Twelveth Old Man jokingly asked, “How does it feel?”
Wu Tian shook his head and motioned for him to continue.
"The second is the forbidden talisman. With the forbidden talisman, you can simulate and comprehend it. Once you have comprehended the restrictions within the forbidden talisman, you can use your soul power to learn how to carve the forbidden talisman."
The Twelveth Elder took out a forbidden talisman from his bosom and handed it to Wu Tian: "This is a first-level 'confinement' forbidden talisman, which can trap cultivators below the rebirth stage. If you sink your soul power into it, you can comprehend it. When you can successfully carve it out, come and ask me for a second-level forbidden talisman."
Then, Old Twelve waved his hand, and a ban flew out, hovering above Wutan and the other man, and a purple light curtain immediately covered the place.
This is exactly the eighth-level restriction that Old Twelve used to destroy the Yan Sect’s base, trapping one side!
Seeing this, the little guy hurriedly asked: "Old man, what are you doing? Do you want to imprison us?"
The Twelveth Elder said, "I have something else to do and need to go out for a while. You all stay inside obediently."
"It's none of my business! It's the little emperor who wants to learn the way of prohibition, not me. Let Grandpa Frog out!" The little guy shouted. With his active personality, if he was locked up here for a long time, wouldn't it be worse than death
"Hmph, little bastard, I'm mainly targeting you, so just behave yourself." Old Twelve snorted coldly, took a step forward, soared into the sky over the stone window, and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
"You old bastard, you old fool, you old bastard, you better not fall into the hands of Frog Master in the future, or I will rip off your old skin and use it as pants!"
The little guy cursed and said harsh words.
Then, he looked at the tiny space and thought that this would be the range where he could move around in the future. He suddenly became unhappy and lay listlessly on the mat. In his heart, he cursed all of Old Twelve's ancestors one by one, but he still didn't feel relieved.
Wu Tian looked at the little fellow with sympathy. He glared back at him angrily and said, "What are you looking at? It's all because you wanted to learn some bullshit restriction. Otherwise, I might be living happily somewhere now. No matter what, you have to compensate me this time."
Shaking his head, Wutan withdrew his gaze, sank a trace of soul power into the forbidden talisman, and began to ponder and comprehend.
Inside the forbidden talisman, there were countless rays of light, like strands of silk threads tangled together, intertwined and complicated.
This is the soul power of Old Twelve!
As long as you slowly sort out these soul power rays and finally stretch them into a straight line, you will be able to understand how Old Twelve operates step by step and carves the talismans step by step.
In addition, remember the steps of sorting out these soul powers deeply in your mind, and then use the same method to carve the restriction on the forbidden stone, and the restriction talisman will be completed.
This is a job that requires endurance and tests one's patience. If one lacks patience, one will give up halfway and all previous efforts will be wasted. It also requires a calm mind and a strong memory.
The most important thing is time. It takes a long time to fully understand a restriction and it cannot be achieved in a short time.
Therefore, Wutan didn't want to waste time. While trying to figure out the forbidden talisman, he practiced the God and Demon Body Refining Technique to absorb the rich essence and temper his body.
The holy land is located on a spiritual vein, and its energy has reached an alarming level. The effect of practicing here for one day is comparable to that of practicing for a month outside!
Just like that, Wutan entered into a deep retreat again, except for the little guy, who sometimes looked here and sometimes looked there, and could never calm down to practice.
Shura Palace, the palace of the Great Venerable, where the twelve Great Venerables gathered.
The Twelve Elders stood in the center, recounting all the stories about Wujitian. When he mentioned the little guy, he couldn't help but show anger on his face, which made the eleven venerables laugh and cry.
"It's incredible. His newly formed soul power has actually reached the ninth level. What kind of monster is this kid? If he grows up, he may become an imperial-level forbidden master, or even a saint-level forbidden master in the future!"
After listening to Old Twelve's story, the woman in colorful clothes spoke in surprise.
The beautiful woman said: "Wutian is indeed a rare genius. Whether in the way of cultivation, the way of prohibition, or the aspect of character, he is countless times better than ordinary people."
The Third Venerable looked at Old Twelve with a red face. He was the Twelfth Venerable of Shura Palace, but he was teased by a small beast. It would be strange if people didn't laugh out loud if this got out.
"Hmm?" Old Twelve looked at him unkindly.
“Ahem!”
The Third Venerable coughed dryly, his face straightened, and he said, "Isn't this better? As long as the possession of the body is successful, everything this boy has will belong to the Palace Master. In the future, the Shura Palace is bound to reach an unprecedented height!"
