Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 1638 - 990: Divine Talisman (Part 2)
Ying Ji pondered: "Fortunately, he is using the identity of a Taixuan Sect disciple at the moment, even if someone wants to pay excessive attention, they wouldn’t dare to be too blatant..."
Halfway through her sentence, Ying Ji fell into a subtle silence.
Perceiving something unusual, Yin Baishuang straightened up and followed Ying Ji’s deeply narrowed gaze into the distance.
On the right-side pavilion, there was a glamorous and charming woman holding a plump rabbit, staring eagerly at Baili An on the altar.
Her gaze was like a hooked knife, wishing to scrape a chunk of flesh off him.
This look was beyond what "blatant" could describe.
The dazzling beauty, with alluring charm in countless forms, had a vacant stare, and the Hada from her mouth was about to fall onto the rabbit’s fat head.
She looked like a ravenous stray dog who hadn’t eaten for days, suddenly seeing a fragrant, large meat bun on a cold winter day.
If they weren’t far away, Yin Baishuang almost suspected she wished to pounce and take a bite out of Baili An.
In all her years, she had never seen a woman show such Divine Soul-foolish... a fangirl look towards a man.
Yin Baishuang and Ying Ji exchanged glances, both thinking silently, daring to act so brazenly and covetously towards someone else’s husband (son).
"Hiss... hah... hiss... hah hiss hah..."
Shu Ci, with her distinctive seven-tailed demon fox seductive face, was marked by an obsessed, sickly scarlet color, with reddened eyes like peach blossoms, her gaze entranced, almost intoxicated.
In that graceful, soft body, there seemed to be an excited and restless blood stirring restlessly.
Her body squirmed uneasily as if her skin was crawling with small bugs, her soft and seductive figure collapsing onto the railing as if boneless.
"Ah... ah... so fragrant, after just a few days, how did he suddenly become so fragrant, this little corpse demon... did this little corpse demon sprinkle salt and spices on himself? He’s making me crave him... I almost can’t resist..."
Afu Tu, being held by the ears, moved its three-petaled mouth rapidly, its pair of red eyes cold and indifferent, with an extremely annoyed look.
Inside a golden carriage, Fang Geyu’s expression was also immensely moved and shocked.
Although she had much confidence in Baili An, merely awakening a talisman spirit would be enough to show Mu Yunye.
Yet unexpectedly, he could be so astonishing, awakening the Divine Talisman ’Qingluan.’
Since her mother’s death, in all Shifang Mortal World, there had been no trace of a Divine Talisman.
Who could have thought that today, one could witness the birth of a Divine Talisman.
"Miss, the one named Ji seems to have awakened... a Divine Talisman, what should we do now?"
Qin Muqing’s maid said anxiously.
They had seen with their own eyes that the kid walked out from Fang Geyu’s carriage, and during the night banquet, he expressed his desire to wed multiple times.
Given that Fang Geyu allowed him into her golden carriage, does it mean she already saw his extraordinariness, and today he could stun the crowd at the Sea God Festival?
What’s more concerning is that, originally proud Fang Geyu, Qin Muqing had no worries that she and the young geniuses of Immortal World would truly succeed in matrimony.
With her stubborn nature, a good marriage might not necessarily be seen as a perfect thing.
But if she accepted this person, it would be a different matter altogether.
Qin Muqing, who originally focused solely on Mu Yunye, never expected to overlook this aspect.
With the support of the Divine Talisman, it would be enough to transcend his mortal origins and instantly close the gap between him and Mu Immortal Lord.
Qin Muqing forcibly suppressed the bitterness in her heart, her eyes darkened with conflicting emotions, gritted her teeth, and murmured:
"Divine Talisman? Divine Talisman or not, it’s just luck, if one expects to compete on equal footing with the son of a Golden Immortal solely relying on a Divine Talisman, that’s too naive.
Who Fang Geyu favors, someone truly competing against higher-ups, really only has luck, ultimately too provincial."
Despite speaking with such forced logic, though Mu Yunye’s status was extremely noble, every talisman master in Shifang City knew well what a Divine Talisman means to Shifang City.
"But... Miss, the altar over there, seems not yet finished..." The maid’s trembling voice sounded beside her.
How could it not be finished?
The Scale Stone spirit test, spiritual emergence, and talisman activation form a perfect cycle, and with the appearance of a Divine Talisman, the spirit test should conclude, allowing others to ascend the stage.
So how come it hasn’t ended?
Unless...
Qin Muqing harbored a terrifying thought, staring distantly with rigid gaze.
On the sacrificial altar, the Scale Stone, freed from ice and snow, remained resplendent with dazzling spiritual light, gathering but not dispersing. Before one could take a closer look, a blinding light shot up, merging into the sky like a comet.
The horrifying power of the talisman spread out, and the world changed color as the winds and clouds gathered.
A jade-colored mystical beast consumed clouds and exhaled rain, stepping on heavenly light and cold waves, nearly dyeing the entire sky with its green radiance.
Mu Yunye, the son of the Golden Immortal in front of the golden chariot, had his face turned a ghastly green by the celestial light, his eyes faintly hollow.
Qin Muqing lost his voice: "It’s a Divine Talisman... ’Qingcang’?!"
How is that possible!
How could a person awaken two Divine Talismans?!
Even the former Lord Xue, who single-handedly built Shifang City, could not accomplish such a miracle.
Before people could continue to process such shocking emotions.
The spiritual light in the sky did not dissipate; another intense spiritual flow brightness shot to the heavens, the sky like ice.
The spirit light, like a giant silver snake, meandered, connecting heaven and earth, its grandeur akin to an ice age descending.
Upon the terrace, most people were already unsteady, their hairs standing on end, as if chilled to the bone by the scene before them.
"Divine Talisman... ’Silver Jade’?!"
The enormous shock won’t cease just because people find it hard to comprehend or accept.
Another column-like purple light surged into the clouds, and the world instantly darkened as thunder rumbled like the celestial sound.
"Divine Talisman... ’Purple Lightning’?!"
Then, a bright yellow Xuanhuang light poured over like sea waves, no longer toward the sky but as if nourishing the earth with spiritual radiance.
"Divine Talisman ’Xuanhuang’?!"
Qin Muqing’s whole body turned limp with shock, and even the maid beside him forgot to support him in face of this overwhelming impact.
A fierce wind arose, suddenly making the sky above the Scale Stone glow with exuberant colors, dazzling and resplendent.
Amidst the rolling clouds, another enormous light and shadow appeared, as if summoned from an ancient slumber.
Baili An lifted his trembling brow, seeing that heavenly horse half-formed, fluttering like a swallow, with phoenix among birds and kun among fishes, striking straight to ninety thousand miles.
In the absolute clouds, bearing the azure sky, soaring above, it is the Dragon Sparrow!
"Crack!" A crisp sound was heard.
The ritual scepter in the always silent Fang Chi, the steward’s hand, was snapped and turned to powder. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
He raised a dim gaze, speaking in a raw but sharp voice:
"Divine Talisman, Dragon Sparrow."
The celestial phenomena of the five types of talisman spirits alternated continuously, rolling and incessant, until the clouds receded, snow dispersed, and thunder faded, then transformed into five colors, their shape ever-changing, the talisman seals retracted, disappearing into the spirit platform at the center of Baili An’s brow along with the initial Divine Talisman Qingluan.
Only then did the commotion atop the sacrificial altar gradually return to calm, and the Scale Stone dimmed accordingly.
As if deliberately concealing the rings of the years past, the surface of the crystal-glazed Scale Stone began to be covered anew with a thick layer of snow.
Qin Lou held onto the terrace railing, dizzy with shock.
If not for the painful slap of the Gale on her cheeks, she’d almost suspect she had a nightmare.
Six! A full six Divine Talismans?!
And not talisman spirits.
What on earth is this boy’s background? Disciples from Taixuan Sect never held such capabilities, yet he ignited and awakened six Divine Talismans in one day.
They are Divine Talismans! Not talisman spirits!
This is a talent even the previous Lord Xue never achieved, now merely relying on the manifestation of six Divine Talismans within his body.
Let alone marrying Fang Geyu, if he declared here for the position of City Lord.
At this moment, it seems a lot of high-ranking individuals would go to great lengths to be the first to support and elevate him.
