Chapter 1330 - 1330: Meeting Your Demands

Everyone was startled.

His talisman-making ability is really gone?

Can such a thing really happen?

Moreover, from what Ling Que Daoist Venerable implied, all his rune insights are still there, but he just can't perform when he tries.

This is too bizarre and beyond everyone's imagination.

"I don't believe it!"

Beside him, Qingzhi Daoist Venerable's face also changed drastically.

"This is absolutely impossible!"

He activated his combat power, and all the ropes around him instantly crumbled to ash.

"How easy is it to make a mere Spirit Talisman?"

He also waved his hand, laying out a pile of talisman-making materials and array tools.

"Creating a low-tier talisman for someone like us is effortless, even with eyes closed and senses shut off!"

"Still a Spirit Talisman?"

"Who do you think you're looking down on?"

"If we're going to do it, let's do an Immortal Talisman!"

He actually closed his eyes, and his hands moved so swiftly they seemed to leave afterimages, causing the materials to quickly float in mid-air.

Then, as if imbued with life, they flew into the talisman array below.

A jade brush drifted down, scattering rays of light and making the scene exceedingly beautiful.

Many Tier Six and Tier Seven talisman makers couldn't help but widen their eyes.

The Immortal Talisman might be considered lowly for them, but with Qingzhi Daoist Venerable, an Eighth-Grade Grandmaster, personally crafting it, it carried a special Daoist Rhyme.

Both the sealing techniques and the rhythm contained within held a profound mental realm.

It was like a naturally perfect and breathtaking scene...

In just a few seconds, a Third Grade Immortal Talisman rapidly formed right in front of everyone.

No, it should be said it grew out of thin air.

Truly incredible!

While crafting the talisman, Qingzhi Daoist Venerable even had the time to curse and mutter.

"My talisman-making talent is innate, and all rune concepts and skills are my own comprehension, who can take them away?"

"Take them back?"

"I'm crafting a talisman right before your eyes, try to take one back!"

Brother Cheng laughed wryly.

"Since you insist so strongly, let's give it a try."

He pulled out a token again, adding special effects, and recited some incomprehensible spells.

Anyway, he tried his best to act mysteriously.

"Qingzhi Daoist Venerable, obstinate and foolish, attempts to ignite war, disrespectful to the Refining Heart Dao Incarnation..."

"This Divine Lord decrees divine retribution, retracting his talisman-making ability!"

Then, the token above Qingzhi Daoist Venerable's head transformed into halos of light, casting down like rings of negative buffs.

The old man immediately lost the ability to make talismans.

His hands, which had been tracing afterimages, suddenly became clumsy.

The previously smooth talisman-making process suddenly stalled.

The rapidly 'grown' Third Grade Immortal Talisman gave a light pop and then exploded on the spot, turning into specks of stardust.

He failed to craft the talisman this time.

"You! What did you do?"

Qingzhi Daoist Venerable also switched to a state of shock and anger.

Suddenly losing his talisman-making ability left him at a loss, even making his mind feel a bit short-circuited.

"Alas!"

Brother Cheng spread his hands innocently toward everyone.

"You all heard it just now, he asked me to take it back."

"Such a strange request, I've never heard of it in my life, not fulfilling it felt a bit disrespectful to him."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, not knowing what to say for a while.

Upon reflection, it was indeed Qingzhi Daoist Venerable who had loudly shouted that.

Who knew the slap in the face would come so quickly.

"Impossible!"

"This cannot be!"

Qingzhi Daoist Venerable was about to go mad, fiddling frantically with the materials and arrays in front of him.

"My talisman-making technique cannot just disappear without a trace..."

Brother Cheng sighed.

"You were so confident and full of assurance just now, I thought you could really do it."

He was a bit disappointed.

"Who knew you weren't that great."

"I don't believe it!"

Qingzhi Daoist Venerable activated his combat power and released powerful Qi directly forward.

"My combat power is still here!"

"Which means my talisman-making technique wasn't taken away!"

It was fortunate he didn't make a move earlier, once he did, everyone saw through it.

Qingzhi Daoist Venerable originally had over seven thousand combat power, but these recent attacks didn't even reach three thousand.

Precisely because the part of the combat power involving runes was missing.

So he really wasn't an Eighth-Grade Imperial Talisman Master anymore.

In the crowd, Venerable Lian Xiao suddenly realized.

"I get it now, that's how it was, my combat power was also suddenly gone outside before!"

"It was really him who did it!"

Hearing this, many people finally understood the truth of the matter.

After all this time, was the Spiritual Clarity Talisman Tower incident orchestrated by Divine Lord Jiang?

The Purple Nether Palace Sect Leader, Li Yang Daoist Venerable, looked at Brother Cheng with a face full of resentment, almost sparking a war between the two factions, are you trying to ruin us?

But at this moment, he only dared to grumble inwardly.

He dared not say it out loud.

He even decided to thoroughly investigate the events at the entrance afterward, to see what was going on with those gatekeeper disciples?

Whether it was him or the nearby Chengshan, Yun Ying, or Ye Ting, their old eyes harbored deep fear.

Jiang Cheng being able to casually retract the talisman-making techniques of those two Daoist Venerables suggested he could also retract their alchemy and artifact refining techniques.

Thinking about it, if their signature skills were taken back, their mindset would definitely explode on the spot, more painful than death.

Initially, they were intimidated by Jiang Cheng's overwhelming combat power.

Later, they were tempted by the prospect of the Divine Envoy position.

But now, seeing Jiang Cheng capable of effortlessly retracting everything they had, they finally developed a mentality of reverence as if facing a deity.

It was like facing a mysterious existence several levels above them, able to control them at will.

There was no intention of resistance at all.

Brother Cheng quietly opened the system, checking the records of Reputation Value.

Indeed, the emotions of most people present had shifted from previous worship to submission.

The resulting Immortal Yuan Points also soared nearly tenfold.

This wave reached as much as 85.5 billion.

"That's quite a deal!"

Even he couldn't help but feel a bit impressed with himself.

Eliminating the people from the Spiritual Clarity Talisman Tower was easy.

But aside from scaring the crowd, it served no other purpose.

But now, spending tens of billions of Immortal Yuan Points on deprivation, after making his image as a Divine Lord seem more 'omnipotent', the gains were massive.

"So pretending to be mysterious can be this fruitful too."

While he was silently summarizing his insights on the Reputation Value System, the people from the Spiritual Clarity Talisman Tower had either fallen into despair or madness.

Crafting a Spirit Talisman would allow them to leave.

But they couldn't even accomplish that.

This caused the rest to feel mentally shattered.

As for the people involved, Qingzhi Daoist Venerable and Ling Que Daoist Venerable seemed even more lost in spirit.

Especially the latter, slumped to the ground with a lifeless expression, like a clay sculpture devoid of vitality.

Without the talisman-making technique, it was as if his soul had been extracted.

"What do you think of me as a charlatan now?" Brother Cheng mercilessly retorted.
