"Master, those people are not dead."
In a blue cave, a translucent mechanical beast detached itself from a root-like object that looked like a blue crystal and flew to the Talisman Master's side.
This blue cave was made of talisman material that looked like a blue crystal. The Talisman Master was sitting in the middle of the cave with his eyes closed.
Beneath him, there was a talisman array that had just been drawn. Invisible energy continued to flow into the Talisman Master's body.
After half a day, the Talisman Master's appearance had changed again.
Previously, he looked like he was in his early twenties. Now, he looked like he was in his thirties.
This translucent mechanical beast that looked like a mechanical spider was the second generation of talisman program that the Talisman Master had mentioned. It was called "Little Talisman."
The Talisman Master opened his eyes and took out a mirror from his storage bracelet. He looked at his current appearance in the mirror.
The Talisman Master was very dissatisfied with his current appearance. Suddenly, anger appeared on his face and he smashed the mirror on the ground.
Smack!
The mirror made of metal did not break. It bounced to a corner of the cave.
"Just a little bit more!
Sigh … "The Talisman Master sighed helplessly.
In his plan, the perfect body should be his youthful appearance. Now, with the passage of time, his appearance was developing into that of an old man. Soon, he would return to his previous appearance when his physical body was destroyed.
Although he could use the powerful energy in his body to change his current appearance, it was just a disguise. It was no different from plastic surgery.
If his plan could not be completed, he would still die soon.
After working for hundreds of thousands of years, he could only live for a few more years.
The process of the Talisman Master and Yang Tian's "rebirth" was almost the same. However, Yang Tian only used a very short time to obtain a new physical body, a young physical body.
And the Talisman Master?
It took him tens of thousands of years to "live" again.
The reason for this was that Yang Tian was young and had not reached the end of his life. The Talisman Master had snatched his lifespan from the heavens.
It could be said that the Talisman Master's actions were against the heavens and the rules of this world.
From the Talisman Master's point of view, Yang Tian had ruined his plan. In fact, it was the rules of this world that had set him up.
Fortunately, he still had a chance to make up for it.
In the Talisman Master's opinion, it was very normal that Yang Tian and the others could successfully overcome his trap and survive.
He knew that Yang Tian was most likely his nemesis.
The root-like object that Xiaofu had climbed earlier was one of the energy lines of the natural rune array.
The natural rune arrays of this world, after countless years of 'growth', had taken root in the entire continent and even extended to the sea of stars outside the continent.
Through a branch of the natural glyph array, Xiaofu was able to know everything that was going on around him.
The actions of Yang Tian and the rest naturally could not be concealed from the Talisman Master.
Rune Masters were reborn using the energy of natural rune arrays. Before their bodies were fully grown, they were like premature babies that were unavoidably affected by the natural rune arrays.
The Talisman Master's next plan was to sever the connection between himself and the natural talisman array. At the same time, he had to absorb the natural talisman array's energy for his own use.
If he succeeded, he would become the most powerful cultivator in this world. Even the gods would not be able to compare to him.
At that time, he would obtain an endless lifespan.
"It's best that he's not dead. I hope he can do as I wish …"
After throwing away the mirror in his hand, the Talisman Master looked in Yang Tian's direction and muttered to himself. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of stone walls and see Yang Tian.
The Talisman Master quietly 'looked' at Yang Tian and the rest. When the Little Blue Dragon woke up and Yang Tian arrived in a red world, the Talisman Master smiled.
All of Yang Tian and the rest's actions seemed to be under the Talisman Master's control.
… …
"What is this place?"
After 'passing' through the stone walls, Yang Tian and the rest arrived in a world filled with countless red 'roots'.
These 'roots' were like rubies, but they were also the energy lines of the natural rune array. They were formed from pure runic energy.
Even without the strange program's reminder, Yang Tian could sense the chaotic runic energy ripples coming from these red 'roots'.
When they arrived, Yang Tian and Huie Miaomiao were standing on top of a clump of red 'roots'. Both of them looked behind them and saw that the stone walls had disappeared.
Faced with Huie Miaomiao's question, Yang Tian could only shake his head. He did not know where they were either.
Now, they could only take one step at a time.
Yang Tian did not understand the situation here. Naturally, he would not move recklessly.
But just because he did not move, it did not mean that the environment would not change.
"Roar ~"
Suddenly, the scene around Yang Tian and the rest changed. It became a world of ice and snow.
The temperature dropped to an unbearable level. An ice beast let out a furious roar and pounced toward Yang Tian.
"Tch ~"
Yang Tian quickly swung his saber and sliced the ice beast into two with a single slash.
After killing the ice beast, the scene returned to normal. It was still a red world.
Was it an illusion?
Soon, Yang Tian knew that it was not an illusion.
After the ice beast was killed, its carcass was still there. It was floating a few meters in front of them. As it had just been killed, Yang Tian could clearly feel the cold air coming out of its carcass.
The Little Blue Dragon had sharp eyes. It saw a fist-sized black Life Crystal in the ice beast's carcass.
The Little Blue Dragon immediately leaped from Yang Tian's shoulder and grabbed the black Life Crystal with both of its claws. It returned to Yang Tian's shoulder and began to chew on it.
There was a series of chuckles.
After chomping on the black Life Crystal, the Little Blue Dragon told Yang Tian that the Life Crystal was real.
Yang Tian was shocked!
He thought it was an illusion, but he did not expect it to be real.
No, it was not all real. At least, the scene of ice and snow was fake.
With the Talisman Master around, the strange program would not appear in public. Although that was the case, it maintained contact with Yang Tian at all times.
Just when Yang Tian was in disbelief, the strange program said, "The natural talisman array has infiltrated the entire land. It should have a certain level of intelligence. This ice beast must have been sent here by it.
This is one of the natural talisman array's defense methods. "
Yang Tian understood that it was just a guess by the strange program.
"So, what do we do now?"
Yang Tian asked the strange program in his mind.
The strange program said, "We can only wait and see. I can try to intercept the natural talisman array's information …"
Of course, Yang Tian agreed with the strange program's suggestion. He pulled Huie Miaomiao and sat down.
If what the strange program said was correct, the natural talisman array would not attack them as long as they did not move.
Yang Tian did not move, but the Talisman Master became anxious.
There were some things that were not convenient for him to do now. He could only rely on others. In order to get Yang Tian to move, the Talisman Master said, "This is an illusion in the sea of stars. If you can destroy it, you will gain great benefits."
Yang Tian did not expect the Talisman Master's voice to appear in this space. Although he was surprised, he did not find it strange.
"What benefits?" Yang Tian asked with a smile as soon as the Talisman Master's voice disappeared.
The Talisman Master said, "This is the best training ground."
"Since there are benefits, why don't you do it yourself?" Yang Tian asked with a smile.
The Talisman Master said, "Because my power comes from this talisman array. There are some places where my power is useless."
This should be the truth. If the Talisman Master's power and the natural talisman array's power came from the same source, his attacks would naturally not cause damage to the natural talisman array.
"You want to destroy the natural talisman array?"
Yang Tian asked again. He heard another meaning in the Talisman Master's words.
The Talisman Master answered honestly, "That's right!"
They were all smart people. There were some things that did not need to be hidden.
This was something that Yang Tian liked.
He also knew that this was because the Talisman Master was very confident. Even if he knew the answer, he had to do as the Talisman Master asked.
