“He has another way to help me, told me not to force the divine summoning, so… so I…”

Qin Moran’s voice grew softer and softer. Lu Qingyao didn’t catch it clearly and asked curiously, “Senior Sister, what did you say?”

“I… I said…” Qin Moran hesitated, but finally a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and was about to speak.

“I said, back then, before I forced the divine summoning, Gu Xiu actually…”

Before she could finish, Qin Moran suddenly froze.

Because she sensed that at this very moment, the Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth suddenly began to fluctuate rapidly. Immediately after, one after another invisible Dao Rhythms flowing between heaven and earth began to manifest one by one!

This made her swallow her next words, her gaze filled with disbelief as she watched the scene before her. She had seen this scene before.

“Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage!”

“It’s Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage!”

“Why has Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage appeared again!”

“What on earth is going on?”

Shouts of astonishment rang out. Countless disciples of Moshu Peak rushed out of their rooms as if mad, utterly terrified! They were all shocked by the sight before them!

Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage had occurred once before. But that time, many low-level talisman masters hadn’t noticed it because their cultivation was insufficient; they couldn’t perceive it. Only those with profound cultivation and a deeper understanding of Dao Rhythms could truly sense it.

But this time… even ordinary talisman masters noticed it.

This scene was too shocking for them, plunging everyone into astonishment. All… into fear!

“I can’t write talismans anymore! My… my faint connection to the Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth is severed!”

“The Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth seem to be waiting for someone’s summons. No matter how I try to summon them, I cannot call them forth. I cannot write a single talisman!”

“What exactly is happening? Is it an anomaly in heaven and earth, or has some terrifying existence descended into the world? Why is this happening?”

“Could it be… could it be that the incident where Junior Martial Uncle’s Heaven-grade sword suffered heavenly punishment is true? Has our Qingxuan Sacred Land truly been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao?”

“…”

Countless talisman masters of the Qingxuan Sacred Land felt unprecedented fear at this moment.

Their greatest strength lay in their ability to communicate with the Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth, making them serve their purposes. They could borrow the power of these rhythms to write talismans and become talisman masters.

But… at this very moment, they found it difficult to write even a single talisman!

Because the Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth ignored their summons!!!

Even Qin Moran looked horrified. She was also trying to write a talisman.

But…

Azure Thunder Talisman—impossible to write!

Fire Dragon Talisman—impossible to write!!

Divine Movement Talisman—impossible to write!!!

After trying dozens of different talismans in succession, Qin Moran discovered in terror that not only ordinary talisman masters, but even she, a sixth-rank talisman master… could not write a single talisman either!!!

Her previous speculation had come true! Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage truly prevented talisman masters from writing even the slightest bit of a talisman!!!

“This matter must be thoroughly investigated!”

“It absolutely must be investigated clearly!!!”

“If this is caused by some treasure descending into the world, then our Qingxuan Sacred Land must obtain it!”

“And if this is caused by a person…”

“That person must be recruited as soon as possible, or else…”

“Eliminate him!!!”

…

While the Qingxuan Sacred Land was plunged into fear, countless talisman masters outside also discovered this heart-stopping phenomenon of Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage!

This scene was too shocking. So much so that all talisman masters in the world found it difficult to remain calm!

However.

Unlike the Qingxuan Sacred Land’s situation where not a single talisman could be written, some other talisman masters had a different feeling during this Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage.

“During Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage, writing talismans becomes more difficult. But each attempt brings new insights!”

“This is an opportunity bestowed by heaven and earth! This is the Heavenly Dao showing favor!”

“I’ve discovered that Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage is a better chance to cultivate the path of talismans! By observing it, I can gain more insights and deepen my understanding of the Talisman Dao!”

“Has a Talisman Dao Supreme descended? Or is the Talisman Dao about to flourish greatly? Otherwise, how could there be such grandeur?”

“It can be predicted that the path of talismans will flourish greatly in the future! We practitioners will return to the peak of the Six Paths!!!”

“…”

It’s often said that joys and sorrows differ from person to person. While a group of talisman masters in the Qingxuan Sacred Land were terrified out of their wits, even more talisman masters were overjoyed.

This matter cannot be spoken of, cannot be described. Yet… it has its own unique flavor.

However, all of this seemed completely unrelated to Gu Xiu. Because at this moment, he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in his room.

Making talismans!

To tell the truth, he wasn’t actually writing talismans. Ever since he returned and started making them, he hadn’t made any movements. He just sat quietly. Anyone seeing him might suspect he had no interest in making talismans and was simply cultivating.

But in reality… if someone could see Gu Xiu’s surroundings, they would discover an extremely miraculous scene unfolding around him.

Those sheets of Qi-Ling Talisman Paper specifically used for inscribing talismans were now floating one by one before Gu Xiu. And the Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth manifested by Ten Thousand Rhythms Paying Homage were eagerly rushing towards those sheets.

What was even more astonishing was… these Dao Rhythms seemed to realize that this method was somewhat clumsy and couldn’t truly transform into talismans. So they drifted up again, rolled around in the nearby high-quality cinnabar ink paste beside them, and then landed back on the talisman paper.

If any talisman master saw this scene, they would probably be so shocked their jaws would drop on the spot.

Or perhaps… burst into wailing tears???

After all, everyone is a talisman master. To write out a single talisman themselves requires carefully coaxing the Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth. They need to beg politely for their pity. They plead for these rhythms to take pity on their diligence and wretchedness so they can imprint inscriptions onto the paper.

It’s almost like groveling and begging miserably.

But Gu Xiu?

Good heavens! He isn’t writing talismans at all! Clearly, it’s the Dao Rhythms of heaven and earth actively begging Gu Xiu to write them down!

Even more… as if afraid Gu Xiu might not want to write them down at all! Each one is incredibly eager, actively throwing itself at him!

No action from Gu Xiu is needed. Not even a talisman brush is required! They actively rush forward on their own initiative to help make the talismans!

This… what kind of affair is this??? The contrast is simply too great!!!

Fortunately, no one has noticed this scene for now. Otherwise, Gu Xiu might become public enemy number one…

But regardless of whether anyone sees it or not, at least one thing is certain: Gu Xiu’s speed at making talismans can be called godly!

Qin Moran being able to refine three talismans simultaneously already left countless other masters far behind her in admiration. They exclaimed at her exceptional talent.

But Gu Xiu?

Thirty sheets?

No!

Three hundred sheets!!!

Those densely packed three hundred sheets don’t require Gu Xiu to lift a finger; they begin batch inscription directly!

What’s more important… this isn’t even Gu Xiu’s limit!

The reason he can only write three hundred simultaneously is simply because… he doesn’t want others to see this spectacle!

It’s just that… this room can only accommodate so many sheets being inscribed at once!!!
