Chapter 79: Chapter 79 True Form Talisman Chapter 79: Chapter 79 True Form Talisman In Zhang’s small courtyard. “Small reward?” Sun Daoyu looked at Zhang, murmuring the words ‘small reward’: “The talismanic Dao Foundation Establishment Method that you, Sister, claim to be the fastest within the Hundred Immortals Alliance, can only be considered a small reward?” Zhang glanced at him, saying: “This Ancestor’s temperament is fickle yet his status is exceptional, so much so that even Nascent Soul real beings have to cajole him. If he is displeased, you might not even get to see Jiushan’s true treasures. What’s the big deal about a method for Foundation Establishment?” “Then Zheng...” “I don’t think he seems like a nice person.” “Really?” “The Jiushan Ancestor likes this kind of person the most.” “...” “Too simple?” The Jiushan Ancestor felt unconvinced when he heard Zheng Fa say this. Zheng Fa had never imagined that such an aggrieved expression could appear on Zhang’s face. “Do you know that this pathway represents the culmination of a thousand years of painstaking effort?” he said angrily: “You call it too simple?” He spoke as if Zheng Fa was insulting him. “I didn’t mean the pathway lacks creativity, but that there is... room for improvement,” Zheng Fa said calmly. “Really? Do tell,” the Jiushan Ancestor looked at Zheng Fa with suspicion, seemingly skeptical that he would have any good suggestions. “Ancestor, may I ask what the ‘small reward’ was for that disciple?” Zheng Fa decided to see what his conscience was worth. “Her? She did have some ambition, asking for a talismanic Dao Foundation Establishment Method.” Recalling Zhang, a trace of admiration appeared on the Jiushan Ancestor’s face: “That method was created by me in my early years, but it wasn’t perfect.” Zheng Fa believed in Zhang’s discernment—any Foundation Establishment method she valued couldn’t be ordinary. Zheng Fa swiftly betrayed his conscience: “I think that pathway is still too stable!” “Stable?” The Jiushan Ancestor looked at the pathway behind Zheng Fa with confusion. As the mountain wind blew, the pathway swayed. “I mean—why can’t it move a bit?” “Move?” “Move on its own, like occasionally shaking up and down, swinging from side to side, and, hmm, maybe add a countdown to remind these disciples how much time they have before the pathway beneath their feet vanishes.” Psychological warfare, who doesn’t know it! “Hmm, that makes sense. Anything else?” The Jiushan Ancestor started to ponder. “Disciple thinks that this mountain wind is also too monotonous. It could use some rain, some thunder, some snowflakes and hail, even some landslides and earthquakes, wouldn’t that also follow the natural order?” “...” The Jiushan Ancestor glanced at him but didn’t say anything; he just asked, “Anything else?” Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Zheng Fa gritted his teeth and sincerely apologized to those who would come after: “I think, the biggest problem with this pathway is that it’s not realistic enough!” “Realistic?” “Where does the greatest danger for a disciple of the Immortal Sect come from?” “What?” “People!” Zheng Fa pointed at the pathway behind him: “Why should each pathway be separated? It’s better to let some of them intertwine.” “To make them fight for it?” The eyes of the Jiushan Ancestor brightened, and he urged eagerly: “Go on, elaborate.” Zheng Fa remained silent, his lips tightly sealed, as if he had a cramp. The Jiushan Ancestor was obviously a sensible person; he took out a jade tube and placed it in front of Zheng Fa: “Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method!” Zheng Fa’s mouth miraculously recovered: “For example, have two disciples search for the same talismanic diagram, but there is only one pathway ahead.” “Keep going, keep going!” “It would be best to specify a range, draw a circle or something. If they don’t reach inside the circle within the set time, they’re all eliminated.” “That’s good! That’s good! They won’t dare not to compete; if they don’t, they’ll be too late!” Jiushan Ancestor clapped his hands, obviously feeling that this mode was very much to his liking: “You’re really naughty, I like it!” “...” That sounded a bit weird. As Jiushan Ancestor was laughing, he suddenly transformed into Zheng Fa’s appearance. “?” “That female disciple told me earlier that the path should be transparent, and I thought she was talented!” exclaimed Jiushan Ancestor: “So I took on her appearance, to let future generations know it was her clever idea that perfected this pathway. Now I feel, this chance to be remembered for aeons should be given to you!” No, isn’t this violating portrait rights? Zhang knows about this, right? Living in eternal glory? Letting future generations know all these nasty ideas came from him? More like an eternal stench! Zheng Fa hurriedly waved his hands: “It’s just a little suggestion, I can’t claim the credit! I dare not claim the credit!” Jiushan Ancestor gave him a deep look, then suddenly said: “With your temperament, you’re truly meant to be part of our Jiushan Sect!” “?” Zheng Fa felt something might be wrong: “Are there many people like me in the Jiushan Sect?” Could he really stay in such a sect? “Not many, most of them were beaten to death,” said Jiushan Ancestor enthusiastically. “Come on, let me show you something nice.” Zheng Fa followed Jiushan Ancestor up the mountain, curious about where they were going. However, they didn’t go far before stopping on the slope on the side opposite to where the people were, at the ninth peak. “Look up.” Seeing Zheng Fa looking puzzled, Jiushan Ancestor pointed towards the top of the mountain. Atop the mountain, the snow was white as jade, shimmering with a golden radiance in the sunshine. Huh? A golden radiance? Zheng Fa looked up and noticed four patterns on the mountaintop that looked like neither characters nor talismanic diagrams. “This is...” “This was originally my true form!” announced Jiushan Ancestor: “The Mountain and River True Form Talisman!” “A talismanic rune can achieve enlightenment?” This was indeed beyond Zheng Fa’s comprehension. “Do you know the origins of Jiushan Sect?” Jiushan Ancestor suddenly changed the topic. “Jiushan... is it nine mountains?” “Yes and no. I originally was a Spirit Vein, but due to natural creation, the flow of Spiritual Energy within the vein accidentally formed a profoundly mysterious talismanic rune, which is this Mountain and River True Form Talisman.” “Over time, I developed some spiritual wisdom thanks to this rune. Later on, I even meditated upon the True Form of the mountains and rivers, transforming into nine Spirit Mountains – so the Jiushan of Jiushan Sect refers not only to those nine mountains but also to me.” “Even I don’t know what I originally was—was it the Spirit Vein, this talismanic diagram, or those nine mountains.” Jiushan Ancestor shook his head: “What I do know is that this talismanic diagram conceals the ultimate truths of the world, otherwise I would have just been an ordinary Spirit Vein all my life.” Zheng Fa looked up at the four mysterious patterns overhead, also feeling a bit astonished. He had long realized the profundity of the Xuanwei Realm, but this talismanic diagram that could endow a Spirit Vein with spiritual wisdom and even establish a Nascent Soul Sect was beyond his imagination. “All my life, I’ve used the Mountain and River True Form Talisman instinctively, as if it was my symbiotic Spiritual Treasure. Even upon my passing, I might not have understood even a tenth of its mysteries.” “Then, ancestor, are you?” “I? As I said, I am Jiushan, the Spirit Vein, but I am no longer the Mountain and River True Form Talisman.” said Jiushan Ancestor, uttering words that Zheng Fa couldn’t understand, before suddenly saying: “That old man... he went mad.” “Huh?” Jiushan Ancestor waved his hand, pointing towards the Mountain and River True Form Talisman: “His time was running out, and he couldn’t bear to merely pass away. He split himself into two, a smaller part was me—also these nine mountains and Spirit Vein—and the larger part are asleep within this True Form Talisman, absorbing the understanding of Jiushan Sect disciples towards this talismanic diagram in future, to fully integrate himself with this True Form Talisman— he thinks that compared to this profound True Form Talisman, the nine mountains and Spirit Vein are burdens, now he has abandoned me, hoping to reshape and reincarnate through the True Form Talisman.” “This...” “In this True Form Talisman, that old man’s treasures are hidden, Divine Skills and even himself — as long as you can gain some enlightenment, you can obtain them.”
