Chapter 326: Absolute Domain Talisman

“Let me try it out first.” The man said, and without waiting for the double’s reply, he entered the space.

Three real days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Shen Xu was pacing on the ship deck while the others continued to watch the village entrance.

“Master, you are going to tear down the floor.” Yang Shi teased, but Shen Xu turned around with an annoyed face.

“Did you refine it or did I refine this ship?” He questioned, and Yang Shi rolled his eyes.

’Crazy.’ He thought and decided to steer clear of his agitated master.

Fortunately, the medicine arrived half an hour later.

“Ayuan, you are finally out.” The double exclaimed, throwing himself into his lover’s arms.

“I am back.” Zhen Yuan nodded and tightened his arms around Shen Xu.

After hugging each other for thirty breaths, the two separated and sat on the deck.

“How?” Shen Xu questioned in an anxious voice.

Hearing the question, Zhen Yuan smiled, took out his law scripting brush and drew a rune in the air.

“This is my self-created talisman. I call it the absolute domain talisman.” He said, and the others curiously looked at the rune.

At a glance, the rune looked simple and no different from ordinary talisman runes.

However, on closer look, Shen Xu and the others noticed that it contained hundreds, if not thousands, of strokes.

“I based it on my heavenly law domain.” Zhen Yuan explained.

“What does it do?” Yang Shi asked.

“The absolute domain talisman is a combination of defensive, isolation, and rebound talismans. However, its functions are absolute.”

“What do you mean?” Shen Xu asked in a confused voice.

“The domain created by the talisman cannot be broken or seen through and can rebound any attack regardless of cultivation level. However, its activation time is only a cup of tea. Also, I can only draw one talisman every day.”

Shen Xu narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

A moment later, he turned to Zhen Yuan with a worried expression.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

“I am exhausted.” Zhen Yuan revealed.

Drawing the absolute domain talisman was extremely exhausting.

However, he was nine points certain that the talisman could let them wade among the nether fiends and yellow water without facing certain death.

“Why don’t you return to the space to have a good rest?” Shen Xu suggested, and Zhen Yuan didn’t refuse.

However, before he could enter the space, he remembered the rune that was still floating before them

“Xiaoxu, I will give this one to you.” He said, waved his brush, and the rune flew into Shen Xu’s body.

A moment later, the double felt a sudden warmth on his chest, and when he looked, he saw the rune.

“This…” He muttered.

“I have tried using rune liquid and talisman paper to draw the Absolute Domain Talisman. Unfortunately, neither can be used. Only by using soul power and the law scripting brush can I barely draw the rune in the air.” Zhen Yuan said with a helpless expression.

“How do I use it?” Shen Xu asked.

“You can inject qi or soul power to activate it. Alternatively, it will automatically activate when you are attacked.”

“I see.”

Every day until the next full moon, Zhen Yuan drew an absolute domain talisman and gave it to a member of the group.

As a result, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu had seventy each, and the others had sixty each.

Looking at the runes on his body, Shen Xu nodded in satisfaction.

’Thank god for the space.’ He thought.

However, they accumulated the runes but could only use one talisman every day. Otherwise, their innate qi would be consumed, and their realm would fall if the matter was not properly handled.

At this time, Zhen Yuan stripped a rune from his body and pushed it into a rabbit.

“Poor rabbit.” Yang Shi said, and Shen Xu snorted.

“Are you pitying it? In fact, we don’t have to use it to check whether the talismans work.” The double said with a meaningful expression.

Seeing the look, Yang Shi shuddered and subconsciously stepped back.

Ten breaths later, Zhen Yuan activated the rune and sent the rabbit to the Ghost Village.

It was the full moon, and the Ghost Village was flooded with yellow water and nether fiends.

However, neither the nether fiends nor the yellow water reacted when the rabbit ran in.

In this way, the rabbit ran around the Ghost Village but still didn’t attract any reaction from the nether fiends.

Unfortunately, a cup of tea was a short time.

When the time came, the talisman effect broke, and the rabbit immediately fell into the yellow water.

Simultaneously, a nether fiend descended on it and waved its scythe to harvest the unsuspecting soul.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and when it was over, nothing was left of the rabbit.

Seeing this, Shen Xu sighed, but he was happy.

“At least we know the talisman works.” He said, and the others nodded.

“There is no room for error.” Zhen Yuan reminded.

After that, each of the five activated an absolute domain talisman and entered the village.

From the entrance, they began collecting nether stones and nether lotuses.

However, before long, the nether fiends noticed the situation.

Although they could not see or sense the culprits, they could see the disappearing treasures.

As a result, the nearby nether fiends began to randomly swing their scythes, wanting to kill whatever was stealing the goods.

A game of cat and mouse began in this way.

After collecting a stone or lotus, Shen Xu and the others would immediately leave the area to avoid attacks.

After all, even though they had the absolute domain talisman, no one wanted to get hit if they could avoid it.

Time passed, and the deadline rapidly neared.

However, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan didn’t plan to wait for time to run out before reacting.

Instead, when the clock had thirty breaths on it, Shen Xu gathered everyone and pulled them into the space.

“Our six months of watching and waiting were not wasted.” The double said, looking at a pile of nether stones and nether lotuses.

However, he soon frowned.

“Will these things disappear after the moon sets?” He asked, but Feng Xue shook her head before explaining.

“In fact, the nether stones and nether lotuses in the Ghost Village don’t actually disappear after the moon sets. They are just invisible to us due to the weakened connection between the living and nether worlds.”

After saying this, she turned to Shen Xu.

“Don’t worry, master. Our loot won’t disappear.”

“That’s good.” The double nodded and began tallying the treasures.

“Six nether lotuses and one thousand, three hundred and two nether stones.”

Six Nether lotuses and more than one thousand Nether stones were a great harvest.

However, Shen Xu and the others were not satisfied.

In the end, they decided to stay longer in the Ghost Village to collect as many nether stones and nether lotuses as possible.

When it was not the full moon, Shen Xu and the others practised in the gravity formation.

As a result, they all stabilised their cultivation and could retreat at any time.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Shen Xu and the others sat at the table in the peach garden.

“Xiaoxu, will you retreat?” Zhen Yuan asked.

Shen Xu frowned when he heard the question.

Although he had enough resources, he was worried about time.

After all, they had planned two rendezvous in the near future.

Seeing the double’s conflicted expression, Zhen Yuan smiled and rubbed his hair.

“We still have more than ninety years before we have to meet Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi.” He said, and Shen Xu nodded before speaking.

“I know, but I am advancing a major realm. It will take at least two thousand years even if I retreat in the space.”

“We can ask Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi to push the meeting by twenty to thirty years.”

“That works.” Shen Xu immediately nodded.

If the meeting was pushed, he could confidently advance, and after coming out of seclusion, they could hit the remaining towers, and explore the black lake, space desert, and the forbidden zone.

After deciding, the group didn’t waste time and each went to the seclusion areas.

Yang Shi and Feng Xue went to the ice land, Li Wenqiang returned to his tower, and Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu went to their bamboo hut.

For this retreat, Shen Xu planned to refine Xiaolei.

Since Xiaolei was a peak-stage level seven fire, the double hoped to break through to the mid-stage of the fusion realm.

However, he wasn’t stuck on this and entered seclusion with a calm state of mind.

Shen Xu refined Xiaolei, Feng Xue refined a drop of phoenix blood essence, Yang Shi continued to absorb the blood essence crystal, Li Wenqiang absorbed the nether stones, and Zhen Yuan comprehended the laws he had accumulated since their last seclusion.
