Chapter 229: Golden Seal and Silver Seal
This talisman was about twice the width of the common talismans like the Golden Wind Dispersion Talisman and the Mystic Bird Flame Talisman. Holding it in hand gave an extremely icy feeling.
Liu Yu could sense that the talisman contained a rich spatial power sealed within a small piece of talisman paper.
It was far more advanced than the spatial attributes of a storage bag, yet it could be stored within one, which was truly incredible.
The silver runes depicted on the talisman were completely different from those in the current cultivation world, imbued with an ancient and distant flavor, seemingly reflecting the vicissitudes of time after enduring a long history.
"Truly formidable and terrifying," Liu Yu thought as he gazed at the ancient runes, his heart surging with tumultuous emotions.
He was already quite certain that this talisman had at least been passed down from the Middle Ages, if not the Ancient Era.
These silver runes, known as "Silver Seal Script," were said to be simplified from the "Golden Seal Script" passed down by true immortals.
The Golden Seal Script itself contained incredible power, capable of recording the laws and truths of the universe. It was said to be the script used by true immortals in the immortal realm.
Because the Golden Seal Script contained the power of laws, it inherently held a hint of the might of a true immortal, which could not be comprehended by cultivators below the mahāyāna stage.
If cultivators below the mahāyāna stage attempted to comprehend it forcefully, they often met a tragic end, their bodies bursting apart from the overwhelming power.
Thus, sages simplified the Golden Seal Script to create the Silver Seal Script.
In doing so, the might of the true immortal was eliminated, and it could no longer be used to record laws and truths.
However, it still retained various mysterious and incredible powers, and the threshold for learning it had been significantly lowered, allowing cultivators above the void refinement stage and below the mahāyāna stage to comprehend and use it.
In ancient times, the cultivation world was prosperous, naturally housing experts of the void refinement stage.
But after the prolonged "Ancient War," the spiritual energy concentration of the entire cultivation world inevitably began to decline, and top-tier cultivation resources gradually diminished.
Until the last void refinement stage expert of the Middle Ages passed away, no new void refinement stage experts were born, and now divine transformation stage cultivators had become a legend, while nascent soul stage cultivators could be referred to as "great powers."
Liu Yu had seen descriptions of the "Golden Seal Script" and "Silver Seal Script" in an ancient text without a cover, learning about the glory of ancient times, which was why he felt it was formidable and terrifying.
"This is actually a talisman personally drawn by a void refinement stage expert?"
Liu Yu maintained a calm exterior, but his heart was extremely shaken, and his breathing began to feel heavy.
"What is the function of this talisman? How is it used?"
He spoke lightly, inquiring about information related to the talisman.
"In response to Uncle Liu, I also do not know the name of this talisman, but I presumptuously call it the Instantaneous Travel Talisman," Yan Kai replied respectfully.
"This talisman allows for instantaneous teleportation to a location up to a thousand miles away."
"As long as it is within a thousand miles, one can reach the marked location instantly. If there is no mark, it will randomly teleport a thousand miles away."
"It can be activated simply by tearing it apart."
Yan Kai did not dare to hide anything, responding with utmost respect.
Liu Yu nodded and continued to scrutinize the Instantaneous Travel Talisman in his hand for a while before asking, "Then tell me, how did you come by this talisman? Do you have any other talismans?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Kai broke into a sweat, the perspiration soaking his clothes and sticking uncomfortably to his back.
