Chapter 545: Deduction and Refining of Talismans, Arrangement and Curse Removal

[Download started, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.]

[Download completed, do you want to start simulating?]

Lu Qing chose Simulate.

[Simulation started, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%.]

[Simulation completed, do you want to start learning?]

After seeing the prompt from his supernatural power, Lu Qing didn’t immediately choose to learn.

Instead, he withdrew his gaze and straightened up.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, what’s going on?”

Mo Hongyun was puzzled.

Although she saw Lu Qing staring at the curse seal on her heart, she didn’t feel anything. Besides that, Lu Qing wasn’t making any other movements.

He hadn’t touched the seal, nor had he used his spiritual power to check its condition.

Now, seeing him stand up, she couldn’t help but ask.

“I haven’t figured it out yet, but I have some clues. It will take a little more time to comprehend,” Lu Qing replied. “Please don’t bother me for now.”

“You have a clue?”

Mo Hongyun’s eyes lit up with surprise.

During their interactions over the past few days, although she still found Lu Qing as mysterious as a fog, she could vaguely gauge his personality.

She knew he generally didn’t like to boast, so now that he said he had a clue, it must be true.

The Canglan City Lord, standing nearby, also beamed with joy upon hearing this.

“Hmm,”

Lu Qing nodded, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to study his supernatural powers.

The next moment, a flood of insights regarding the [Joyful Heart-Erosion Mantra] surged from the depths of his mind.

Lu Qing rapidly absorbed

this information, and his understanding of the [Joyful Heart-Erosion Mantra] was improving at an astonishing rate.

“Is this, enlightenment? Entering enlightenment so easily?”

The Canglan City Lord’s eyes widened as he observed the strange aura emanating from Lu Qing.

Disbelief crossed his eyes.

He could tell that Lu Qing seemed to be in a state of enlightenment.

But was enlightenment so easy to enter?

You know, even for someone like him at the Soul Realm, achieving a sudden enlightenment requires long-term accumulation, only possible after a burst of accumulated experience.

Yet, Lu Qing achieved this enlightenment effortlessly, simply by entering a state of meditation.

How could this not astonish the Canglan City Lord?

“What kind of freak is this Little Daoist Fellow Lu? Such a person is likely a monstrous, peerless genius, a core Daoist within the Immortal Dao Holy Land!”

In the Canglan City Lord’s mind, Lu Qing’s origins grew increasingly mysterious.

Mo Hongyun hadn’t noticed Lu Qing was in a state of sudden enlightenment.

Her realm was still somewhat lacking.

However, she could see that Lu Qing was genuinely trying to help her find a solution, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes.

She had witnessed Fellow Daoist Lu’s miraculous abilities many times before.

She only hoped that this time, he could perform a similar miracle and rescue her from this endless abyss.

Under the gaze of the two, Lu Qing’s receiving of the enlightenment information reached its end.

As the final ray of enlightenment was received, a surge of enlightenment arose within him.

“So that’s how it is. This [Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra] is a curse seal formed from runes transformed from the power of the primordial spirit.

Essentially, it’s not much different from a talisman array.

It’s just that, because it’s formed from the power of the primordial spirit, it’s endlessly regenerate.

Like a living being, it can entangle with the spirit, energy, and spirit of the one struck by the curse, making it particularly difficult to control.”

After absorbing the information in his mind, Lu Qing finally understood the essence of the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra].

He even understood the casting process and the composition of the primordial spirit runes.

It could be said that the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra] no longer held any secrets in his eyes.

However, understanding it was one thing; breaking it for Mo Hongyun was another. The

[Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra] was, after all, a curse seal cast personally by a Four Tribulations Primordial Spirit Master.

The power of a Four Tribulations Primordial Spirit Master was truly formidable.

Even if the primordial spirit power that formed this seal was a mere fraction of the primordial spirit of the Supreme Desire Master,

it was not something that someone like Lu Qing, at the Jindan stage, could easily dispel.

Direct action was clearly not an option. To break the curse, he needed to find another way.

Without opening his eyes, Lu Qing continued to study his supernatural powers.

He began to deduce how to most reliably break the curse.

Time passed slowly, and with the help of his supernatural powers, Lu Qing continued to comprehend and deduce.

His understanding of the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra] deepened.

Finally, a sense of enlightenment arose within him.

He had completely mastered the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra].

If he performed it, it would certainly not be as powerful as that of the Supreme Master Miaoyu, but its sophistication was uncertain.

After fully mastering the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra], Lu Qing had some idea of how to break the curse.

To put it simply, the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Mantra] was composed of runes simulated by the power of the primordial spirit, and thus belonged to the realm of runes.

Lu Qing was now a master of rune formations, so finding a way to break through them wasn’t impossible.

Following this line of thought, Lu Qing continued his deduction.

“This Daoist Fellow Lu, this enlightenment period has been taking a long time, hasn’t it?”

Seeing Lu Qing still contemplating with his eyes closed, the strange Dao essence emanating from him lingering for a long time,

Canglan City Lord’s gaze grew increasingly astonished. This

was because Lu Qing’s enlightenment had lasted so long.

Even if ordinary practitioners accumulated a lot of experience and managed to achieve enlightenment, their time wouldn’t last long.

Even a quarter of an hour was already quite remarkable.

And yet, Lu Qing had been in this state for almost half an hour, and still hadn’t regained consciousness.

He couldn’t imagine how Lu Qing had managed to maintain this state for so long.

“This man’s aptitude for cultivation is truly unimaginable. No wonder Gongshu Yu was no match for him.

How could a mere direct descendant of a high clan compare to such a monstrous evil?”

The Canglan City Lord couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.

He became increasingly certain that Lu Qing must have come from some incredibly remarkable sacred place for cultivation.

It was even possible that it was some legendary, mystical land that even the Nangong family admired.

Mo Hongyun’s hope grew as she watched Lu Qing meditate with his eyes closed.

The longer Lu Qing meditated, the more likely he had found a solution.

After another quarter of an hour, the two of them waited patiently before Lu Qing finally opened his eyes.

A hint of fatigue lingered in his eyes. The

intense effort of deducing the Daoist arts of the Soul Realm was a strain even for him.

Fortunately, his foundation was incredibly strong, and his Perfect Golden Elixir possessed numerous miraculous uses.

With just a little practice, the mental and physical energy he had expended began to rapidly recover.

“Little Daoist Fellow Lu, how are you?”

the Canglan City Lord asked hurriedly upon seeing Lu Qing awake.

“Thank goodness, I’ve managed to come up with a solution. But I’ll have to try it out to see if it works,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“You’ve really figured it out?”

Mo Hongyun was stunned, a little disbelieving at the sudden surprise.

“We’ll have to try it out to see if it works. It might not work.

And once the curse is triggered, it’s very likely to alert the Supreme Master of Wonderful Desire. You should be prepared,”

Lu Qing said sternly.

“Go ahead and try it. No matter how bad it gets, the worst you can do is die. How much worse can it get?”

Mo Hongyun said firmly, her eyes gleaming with determination.

This was the only time in all these years she’d seen hope.

If it didn’t work this time, it would mean it was her fate. It would be better to just die.

“It’s not that serious,” Lu Qing smiled. “Even if I can’t completely break the [Joyful Heart-Erosion Curse], it won’t kill you.”

With Lu Qing’s current level of comprehension of the [Joyful Heart-Erosion Curse], he still had some confidence.

“But I still need to make some preparations. Please wait a moment. Also, Lord City Lord, I need some high-quality spiritual jade to refine some things. Is that possible?”

“Of course, I’ll send someone to the storehouse to get it immediately!”

The Canglan City Lord said quickly.

At his command, the old servant from earlier quickly retrieved a jade box from the storehouse and handed it to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing opened it and saw hundreds of pieces of superb spiritual jade inside, all of the highest quality.

“Young Daoist Fellow Lu, please feel free to use as much as you want. If you don’t have enough, I’ll send someone for more!”

“I don’t need that much,”

Lu Qing sighed inwardly. As expected of a city lord with such wealth, he could easily afford hundreds of pieces of top-grade spiritual jade.

He picked up a piece of spiritual jade and hovered it in front of him. With his mind, he began to sketch mysterious runes in the air, sinking them into the jade.

“Void-drawing talismans! This young Daoist Fellow Lu has achieved such mastery in the art of runes.”

The Canglan City Lord was slightly shocked upon seeing this scene.

He had been in seclusion in the City Lord’s Mansion recently, leaving city affairs to the steward.

If he hadn’t been awakened by the demonic energy, he might not have made it to the Treasure House in time.

Therefore, he was not fully aware of the turmoil in the city over the past month.

He was even less aware that Lu Qing was a master talisman maker.

Lu Qing was refining the jade talismans with remarkable speed.

According to the Canglan City Lord, the Gongshu clan’s men were likely to descend tomorrow.

With time running out, he couldn’t afford to hide his abilities.

Except for not using the distraction technique, he refined the talismans at top speed.

Lu Qing produced one talisman after another

at a speed that stunned the Canglan City Lord.

He had never seen anyone refine talismans so swiftly before.

An hour later, Lu Qing had refined a full 108 jade talismans before finally stopping.

Fortunately, he had condensed a rare and perfect golden elixir, with incredibly powerful recovery abilities.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to sustain the effort of refining so many jade talismans at once.

After refining the jade talismans, Lu Qing didn’t rest, but instead drew a short sword.

He displayed his acrobatic skills, stepping into the Heavenly Gang Step. The short sword in his hand, like a dragon and a snake, traced runes on the jade tiles on the ground.

Soon, he had carved a profound and complex formation.

“Master, please go to the center of the formation and complete it,”

Lu Qing said solemnly after carving the formation.

Mo Hongyun followed his instructions, walked into the center of the formation, and sat down.

At this moment, her confidence in Lu Qing was stronger than ever.

After all, the formation Lu Qing had set up was clearly the product of extremely thorough preparation.

For another thing, the formation beneath her feet alone was completely incomprehensible to her.

It simply seemed so profound, it didn’t seem like a formation at the Golden Core level at all.

Seeing Mo Hongyun finished, Lu Qing waved his hand.

The one hundred and eight jade talismans he had previously refined flew up, scattering and embedding themselves in the various nodes of the magic circle.

“Master, this magic circle is specially arranged by me. Once activated, it will isolate the inside and outside, suppressing the curse within you.

This way, when we remove the curse later, the Supreme Master Miaoyu may not be able to immediately detect the changes here,”

Lu Qing explained.

“Yes.” Mo Hongyun nodded gently.

“Then please calm your mind and concentrate. When I remove the curse later, there may be considerable pain, so please be patient,”

Lu Qing warned.

“Go ahead, don’t worry about me,”

Mo Hongyun said firmly.

Then, following Lu Qing’s instructions, he began to calm his mind and prepare for what was to come.

“Lord City Lord, no matter what happens, please do not let outsiders in to disturb you.”

“Don’t worry, no one can enter this room without my permission,”

the Canglan City Lord said confidently.

Lu Qing nodded, and after Mo Hongyun was ready, he pinched the magic formula in his hand, and a wisp of his mind fell on the magic circle under his feet.

The next moment, the 108 jade talismans on the formation flickered faintly, and a light curtain suddenly illuminated, enveloping him and Mo Hongyun.

As the light curtain illuminated, the Canglan City Lord, standing outside the formation, suddenly felt that he had lost the ability to sense Lu Qing and Mo Hongyun’s presence.

They were clearly before his eyes, yet to his senses, they seemed to be in another dimension.

He could only see their figures, but could not sense their presence at all.

“This formation has the ability to block auras and isolate space?”

Canglan City Lord’s eyes flashed with shock.

The ways of space are generally only accessible to those at the highest level of the Soul Realm, those who have advanced far beyond the boundaries of the Soul Realm.

And yet, Lu Qing, at only the Golden Core Realm, had set up a formation that even vaguely touched upon the laws of space.

How incredible!

The Canglan City Lord recalled the question Lu Qing had asked him earlier.

A sudden thought occurred to him, one he couldn’t even believe.

“Could it be that the reason why Fellow Daoist Lu asked such a question

was not because he heard it from his master, but because he really touched the law of space?”

Under the shocked eyes of Canglan City Lord, Lu Qing in the magic circle finally began to move.

He stepped on the two important nodes of the magic circle below his feet, and with the help of the power of the magic circle, he urged his mind.

An extremely pure soul power fell on the strange curse seal on Mo Hongyun’s heart.

Stimulated by this, the strange curse seal, which was originally like a living thing and trembling, immediately responded.

Not only did it twist violently, but a majestic voice, which could not be distinguished from male or female,

suddenly came from the curse seal: “Who is so bold as to dare to touch the curse seal laid by this deity!”
