Dark Blood Age

Chapter 286

It was precisely the difference in the use of energy that enabled Chu Yunsheng to make a powerful talisman on just a piece of white paper or even in the thin air.

Compared to talismans, Xuan Bo energy shield was activated by a very complicated device and the device itself was also made of the material that even Pan An also did not know what it was.

So the advantages of talismans were extremely clear. There was no need for special materials or complicated devices, as long as anyone understood the ancient book’s cultivation rules, they could use the power of talismans.

...

This type of inspiration made Chu Yunsheng extremely excited. He could not wait to make a special talisman just for Xuan Bo energy shield.

If what Chu Yunsheng did before was considered as simply following the instruction of the ancient book, then what he was going to do now was innovation!

Using the knowledge of the ancient book as guidelines and Pan An’s data as references, combining with his experiences in making talismans to invent a new talisman.

This new talisman not only needed to create a channel to allow the smooth flow of his energy between him and the device, but it also needed to convert his energy into the energy that was needed by the device.

Chu Yunsheng was familiar with the process of drawing the function of creating the channel, a lot of talismans had this function, so he just needed to copy them.

The difficulty was to innovate a new energy sequence or a new particle combination.

Chu Yunsheng laid a piece of white paper on top of a table. He didn’t want to test it using his energy. Instead, he used a pencil to draw all kinds of talismans and used his own knowledge to infer the possibility of each character combination. Then he selected a few talismans that he thought might have the highest probability and only then did he start to use his own energy to test them.

He failed once, twice, three times...

Chu Yunsheng was drawing the possibilities on the table tirelessly, and the ideas constantly popped into his mind, slowly he went into a state where he didn’t even realize what he was doing, and he just let the inspiration do the work itself.

But that status didn’t last long, in fact, it only lasted for a few minutes. He had not slept for two days, even though he didn’t want to take a break, but his body started to stop working properly. So the exhaustion instantly pulled him back to reality.

Chu Yunsheng let out a bitter laugh, he was almost there. Although the new talisman was completed, it seemed like it was still missing something, something like a “soul”.

Although he didn’t know why he had that feeling, he knew that something was off about the new talisman, it didn’t seem to reach its perfect status.

...

Chu Yunsheng didn’t give the new talisman a name immediately, although he really wanted to do it. After all, that was a complete new talisman, and he was the inventor.

After examining the talisman more closely and carefully, Chu Yunsheng believed that the talisman still had two areas that needed to be improved.

The first area was that although the new talisman was used to help him using Xuan Bo energy shield device, if he understood the mechanism of the device, he could implement the mechanism into the talisman to make the talisman become a standalone energy shield.

And the second area of improvement was that if the first one could work, then he could try to overlap Xuan Bo energy shield’s effect with Liu Jia energy shield or even combine them as one talisman. He believed that the defensive power of the energy shield would definitely be doubled.

Despite the exhaustion, Chu Yunsheng carefully cast the new talisman on Xuan Bo energy shield device. He left out a sigh of relief when he saw the device was covered with symbols.

Two third of his experiment was completed successfully, now it was down to the last one. The success of this whole experiment all depended on if the talisman could work or not.

Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath and started to infuse his energy into the device.

“Great! The energy didn’t bounce back! It went all into the device!” Chu Yunsheng was happy to see the result.

Then he infused the energy into the device again without stopping...

When Chu Yunsheng almost used up his energy, a glare suddenly flashed over the dark surface of Xuan Bo energy shield device, and then it flashed the second time, the third time.... It was flashing faster and faster until suddenly the space around him was distorted for a few seconds.

Chu Yunsheng smiled, finally, the shield was completed. In the next second, he collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep...

...

When he woke up, it was already the third day, and Cao Zhengyi was already waiting for him urgently outside the room.

“What is the matter?” Chu Yunsheng asked while eating the food that Xiao Zhen passed to him in the hall of the palace.

“Grandpa, outside... Outside...” Cao Zhengyi stuttered.

“What’s wrong outside? You were rushing me earlier, but you are stuttering now,” Chu Yunsheng just woke up, so he wasn’t in a good mood.

Cao Zhengyi secretly peaked over Chu Yunsheng’s shoulder and looked at the place where the fire messenger was staying. He lowered his voice and said, “Grandpa, there are rumors saying that the savior of mankind will come to this world soon!”

Chu Yunsheng was startled and immediately stopped eating, “what!’

Cao Zhengyi nervously looked at the room inside the palace again and said with concern, “Grandpa, lower your voice... I know you have gained the trust of the fire messenger, but rumours also said that the saviour of mankind is even more powerful than the fire messenger and the ice messenger, and the saviour will eventually deal with the fire messenger and the ice messenger.”

Chu Yunsheng was unusually silent, he was staring at Cao Zhengyi not talking. It made Cao Zhengyi’s hair stand on end.

“Grandpa... It wasn’t me... it wasn’t me...” Cao Zhengyi was scared.

Chu Yunsheng stopped him and said, “Old Cao, we have known each other for a while now right?”

The timid Cao Zhengyi didn’t know what Chu Yunsheng was talking about, he almost wanted to kneel down to prove that he was innocent, “Grandpa, I did not betray you and the Fire messenger.”

Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said, “Old Cao, don’t be scared, I trust your loyalty. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to tell me this, right?”

Cao Zhengyi didn’t dare to answer Chu Yunsheng. In fact, he had mixed feelings. On one hand, he hoped that the rumour was true, on the other hand, he hoped the rumour was fake. He didn’t know which one he should choose to believe.
