Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1050: Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman, Complete!

Since Shang Xia started crafting talismans in the past, it wasn’t as though he never failed thrice in a row. However, it was something that rarely happened.

With 3 consecutive failures to craft the Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman, Shang Xia not only wasted 3 sheets of rank six talisman paper, he even destroyed 3 talisman brushes! There was also a wasted high-grade inkstone and the top floor of the Talisman Pagoda basically had to be rebuilt.

Even if he wanted to, there was no way for him to craft rank six talismans. No… he couldn’t craft any talismans even if he wanted to. As for his cultivation… He barely stepped into the second tier for several months. It wouldn’t be easy to improve quickly. He wanted to leave the Spirit Luxuriant World, but because he didn’t know where the hell Kou Chongxue was, he didn’t dare to step out easily.

It wasn’t just the Spirit Luxuriant World. He didn’t even dare to leave the You Continent at the moment!

Everything stemmed from the fact that the Tongyou Elysium had no Elysium True Immortal! They didn’t have a rank six protection formation either. It wasn’t just the Tongyou Elysium. Even the Tongyou City didn’t have a rank six protection formation!

If Shang Xia were to leave the Spirit Luxuriant World under such circumstances, or even the You Continent for that matter, if a True Immortal were to attack the Tongyou Elysium or enter the city by hiding from their rank five protection formation and infiltrate the Elysium, it would most likely be taken over since Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue wouldn’t be able to make it back in time.

No matter how small the possibility of that happening was, from the current situation in the Spirit Luxuriant World, it wasn’t exactly impossible for that to happen.

Of course, they weren’t exactly preventing foreign experts from doing so. They were more concerned about experts in their world…

The advantage of having an Elysium True Immortal was pretty clear. Because of how they advanced into the Martial Void Realm, the moment an Elysium True Immortal was born, there was pretty much no chance for others to sneak into their territory and attempt to silently take over their Elysium.

The moment anyone tries to enter, an Elysium True Immortal would be able to return instantly.

Even if someone were to conceal themselves, an Elysium True Immortal would be able to detect their presence.

With the Tongyou Institution unable to produce a candidate to become an Elysium True Immortal, Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia had been turning their focus to Chu Jia and the Formation Hall.

Once Chu Jia completed the development of the Formation Divine Artifact, she would be able to borrow the strength of both Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia and it was extremely likely for her to be able to lay down a rank six protection formation.

The moment she succeeds, they wouldn’t be afraid that a True Immortal would be able to easily infiltrate or break into the Tongyou Elysium. When that happened, Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia wouldn’t need to stay in the You Continent all the time.

The mighty True Immortal Shang, Talisman Hall Master actually had nothing to do!

In the 3 months that passed, Shang Xia strolled about the You Continent as he was in no mood to enter seclusion to cultivate. Other than better understanding the current state of the You Continent, he would also pretend to be a wandering hero who helped those he came across. He would even give pointers here and there, and he would play the pig to eat the tiger when he felt like it. There were times when he even demonstrated a portion of his technique or even created a new one on the spot. Conferring a set of inner qi training methods to people with potential was also one of the things he did. If he felt like it, he would leave behind a few talismans or describe an advancement formula or two. He would appear on the eastern shore of the You Continent one day and he might show himself in the depths of the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range the next. The day after that, he might run all the way to the north. It didn’t take long for a legend to form about a young master in white robes roaming the You Continent.

With his cultivation level and insight, any pointers he gave could enlighten a Martial Intent Realm cultivator. The techniques he made on the spot could be an inheritance passed down by families with a Martial Extermination Realm expert leading them.

Those talisman jades he tossed out could even allow those who had them to become students of the Inner Division in the Tongyou Institution.

Even though he didn’t reveal his identity during the entire process, Shang Xia gained a lot of satisfaction with his dumbass sense of humor.

After 3 months, the Talisman Pagoda was restored, but Shang Xia didn’t seem to care about it at all.

Ren Huan managed to obtain a pretty high-grade inkstone from Three Unity Island, but Shang Xia didn’t seem to care too much about it.

Only when Ren Bainian sent news that the White Bone Brush could be used again did Shang Xia tear open the void to return to the institution.

Looking at the White Bone Brush that no longer had the same appearance as before, he couldn’t help but gasp, “Senior Ren, You… Did you craft a new brush instead of repairing the old one?”

Ren Bainian’s face flushed red in embarrassment and he sighed, “It’s a shame I don’t have that kind of ability. The brush was just too damaged when you sent it over. My skills aren’t that great and I thought of this to allow the brush to hold out just a little bit more…”

Shang Xia burst out laughing, “Senior Ren, your skills in restoring treasures are top-notch! If you don’t think you’re good enough, there won’t be many people in the institution with sufficient skills!”

“My apologies… Even though you can continue to use the brush, it is truly too damaged. You won’t be able to use it for long.” Ren Bainian continued.

Holding the brush in his hand, Shang Xia played with it a little before letting out a soft sigh. “I understand. Many thanks, Senior Ren!”

Ren Bainian cupped his fists and took his leave.

Finally… The talisman brush, talisman ink, talisman paper, and high-grade inkstone had been gathered. Along with the peak-tier Talisman Grandmaster that was Shang Xia, he prepared his fourth attempt.

His fourth attempt would most likely be his last attempt at crafting a rank six talisman for a long, long time. After all, gathering rank six talisman paper wasn’t easy.

Even though Ren Bainian said that he would be able to use the White Bone Brush for some time, Shang Xia understood that it was most likely going to be his last chance to use the brush.

On his third attempt, Shang Xia managed to complete 90 percent of the talisman. It was just one step away from completion and everything else had to be left to Shang Xia.

After adjusting his condition once again, Shang Xia dipped the brush in rank six talisman ink and brushed it against the side of the inkstone as he prepared to craft the talisman.

Maybe because he was being a lot more serious than before, he didn’t rush through the process at the start. He completed half the talisman in 3 days. However, he managed to reach the 80 percent mark after 2 more days… It wasn’t because he hastened the process, but he was getting too familiar with it.

After one more day… Shang Xia reached the part where he failed last time and the only thing he had to do was to wrap everything up.

Finally, with the last stroke of his brush, Shang Xia completed a real rank six talisman!

A loud snap rang in his ears the next moment as the White Bone Brush shattered completely. It turned into powder as it scattered through the gaps of his fingers. Even the tip of the brush disintegrated.

Like what happened to the Purple Bamboo Brush, there was no restoring it this time!
