What exactly is hidden in mystery?
The Talisman Vengeful God is already giving him a headache, and there's another incredibly terrifying crisis?
Even the Celestial Summit Pavilion finds it frightening?
They have to deploy the eleventh and thirteenth ranked Godslaying Squads to guard?
In previous years, squads ranked fiftieth were sufficient.
This time, it's unexpectedly two squads...
Ye Ping was even more curious; the Talisman Vengeful God shouldn't be that terrifying, right?
We've disrupted its arrangements several times!
But well.
Though surprised, he didn't say much and followed the Godslaying Squad as they flew.
Half an hour later.
The exclusive resting suite for the Godslaying Squad.
Lin Feng spoke slowly: "The Celestial Summit Pavilion's ten-year prediction period has arrived. The crisis facing Huaxia Divine Land is even more severe than two hundred years ago."
Ye Ping: "What is the reason? What exactly is the crisis?"
Lin Feng appeared serious: "That's the most terrifying part—the Celestial Summit Pavilion can't predict the exact crisis; it's shrouded in fog, only knowing it concerns survival!!"
"The Talisman Vengeful God you reported might be one of the elements.
Moreover, until now, we don't know!! The Nightmare Vengeful Mother and Talisman Vengeful God managed to transcend the Exotic Star Battlefield's safe zone, arriving at Blue Star!"
"They must have used some means beyond human understanding, attempting a sinister plan. If we can't stop them... the consequences will be unimaginable."
Ye Ping frowned: "Are they targeting this generation's super geniuses? If this generation's high-quality geniuses are eliminated, then Huaxia's prosperity will be halved!"
"How about changing the selection competition's venue to another province?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "The Celestial Summit Pavilion already said, the only place with even a sliver of one percent chance of survival is Jing Province."
Ye Ping was speechless.
Alright then...
Even Xu Ran was fooled.
A terrifying crisis... a sliver of one percent chance of survival... Is it another high-level game?
A bit nerve-wracking...
At five years old, I played high-level games...
At eight years old, I have to play high-level games again...
Alright, alright.
Xu Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
Everyone looked at Xu Ran.
'Prime Minister' why do you laugh?
Xu Ran spread his hands: "Nothing, I was just thinking about how at five years old, I faced the Nightmare Vengeful Mother... and at eight years old, there's another terrifying crisis..."
No wonder on the day I was born, I went crazy with self-discipline—without it, where would there be 'Do not scorn the poverty of youth'? I'd be resting in peace long ago.
Everyone: "..."
It seems... that's true... The last dance of the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was indeed in Jing City.
It's said that at that time, the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was extremely arrogant.
She was confident enough to think that she'd win riding a Flying Dragon.
And then...
And then she was shattered by Xu Ran.
After a moment of silence, Ah Hao suddenly let out a hearty laugh, breaking the ominous atmosphere: "Maybe this time, the sliver of one percent hope lies with you."
Xu Ran: "..."
The familiar absurdity...
And the tone almost like a wish...
Xu Ran, helplessly: "It must be more than two Godslaying Squads, right? I reckon they've secretly infiltrated a few more powerful squads. So... even if divine-level beings come, they might not benefit."
Lin Feng's eyes brightened: "... Gotta give it to you, you are smart."
"The Celestial Summit Pavilion's arrangements are entirely prepared to slaughter three divine beings. However, when facing Mechanism Gods, they might be limited in actions..."
Xu Ran spread his hands: "It should be enough; they can't reach the heavens. If they could, why bother with schemes and conspiracies? Thus, divine beings entering Huaxia Divine Land won't have overwhelming strength."
"By denying them the chance to grow, their bodies can be stripped, and then I can completely kill them."
Xu Ran's words drew burning gazes from everyone.
Lin Feng: "In that sense, it makes sense. The pollution in Huaxia Divine Land is far less severe than the secondary polluted zones, and nowhere near the primary polluted zones or Celestial Calamity zones. Where there's no pollution, divine beings are like fish out of water... They truly can't reach the heavens."
"Yes, if they could reach the heavens, why not come out directly slaughtering like the divine alien beasts of the Exotic Star Battlefield wreak havoc? Is it because they don't want to?"
Xu Ran nodded, just schemes and plots played by mechanism monsters.
However.
The Celestial Summit Pavilion's predictions warrant appropriate caution.
Apart from the Talisman Vengeful God, there are probably other divine beings.
"We must hurry to manufacture talismans... Feed ten thousand Talisman Papers; it can issue a Godslaying-level Instant Annihilation... In about three months, I can accumulate for one Super Annihilation Cannon."
"I will give the Talisman Vengeful God a surprise."
As for what the surprise will be.
Leave it to the Talisman Vengeful God to figure out.
A slight smile.
Xu Ran shifted the topic.
"By the way, I've been working on some new things recently... You guys go take a shower first; your scent is kind of overpowering."
"Come out after and I'll give you a surprise."
The Purifying Soul Godslaying Squad members looked at each other.
Then lifted their arms to sniff: "Don't feel it... Is there a smell? No smell, have we gotten used to it?"
Xu Ran's expression was odd: "A bit overpowering."
"Alright, alright, let's shower!"
Everyone rushed to their respective rooms.
Xu Ran, meanwhile, was engraving talismans in the living room.
Little Doubling Treasure Talisman, Minor Circulation Treasure Talisman, Little Purification Treasure Talisman, Little Vajra Treasure Talisman...
Ah Hao was the first to come out.
"What surprise, what surprise?"
He hadn't even dried his hair properly, though fortunately, his hair wasn't long, just a crew cut.
Xu Ran raised an eyebrow: "That was quick... Try this Little Doubling Treasure Talisman... Ye Shu, teach him."
Xu Ran quickly engraved talismans.
Ye Ping got up, picked up the activated Little Doubling Treasure Talisman.
"It has to be attached to the back. Lift your shirt."
Ah Hao lifted his shirt.
Exposing the muscle-packed ghost back.
"Slap—"
"Slap—"
"Slap—"
After three successive cracks.
Ah Hao almost exclaimed, "What... what... what's going on? What's going on? What kind of treasure is this?"
"My cultivation speed has actually doubled!!!!"
"I haven't felt such smooth cultivation speed in a long time!"
Amazing!
Truly amazing!
Ever since passing fifty, even someone like him, a super genius, has felt a precipitous drop in cultivation speed, far from when he was twenty.
Therefore.
His Qi Blood Value stayed at nine million.
Ten million Qi Blood Value seemed like the fourth shackle for humans.
In the past two hundred years, even though Huaxia's nurturing level has been growing steadily, no super genius has touched the threshold of ten million Qi Blood Value before fifty.
Often just falling short by one million.
If you can't even touch ten million, don't even think about becoming a god.
Missing by a tiny bit can lead to a thousand miles of difference.
However!
The golden talisman paper drawn by Xu Ran, which seemed to be called "Small Doubling Treasure Talisman," seemed capable of shattering the fourth shackle.
Ah Hao's blood accelerated, "If I could have enjoyed such a treasure talisman when I was a teenager, I would definitely have ten million Qi Blood Value!!"
"This is too defiant of the natural order! Outrageously defiant! Completely, truly, an undeniable amplification."
Ah Hao looked at Xu Ran with a shocked gaze.
What exactly has this kid invented?
A genius of the same age as him is having too much fun?
No.
Even geniuses under fifty are having fun.
Those just turning thirty are even more thrilled.
This is simply ushering in a grand era of cultivation.
From this moment on.
Can super geniuses now touch the threshold of ten million Qi Blood Value?
At this very moment, Ah Hao was so excited he wanted to howl, but seeing Xu Ran focused on drawing talismans, he held back his excitement.
Before long.
Lin Feng came out.
Uncle Ye Ping pasted three talismans on him.
"What the?!"
The moment the talisman took effect, Lin Feng couldn't help but curse.
"What the heck?!"
Ye Ping, "The talismans Xu Ran learned can increase cultivation speed. A single 'Small Doubling Treasure Talisman' boosts efficiency by 50%. The Minor Circulation Treasure Talisman can draw in spiritual qi, purify it, and press it into the body, so... it's a combination talisman that enhances cultivation speed."
Lin Feng opened his mouth.
Looking at Xu Ran with an expression like looking at a freak.
Although he's already witnessed Xu Ran's monstrous level, but—
The talismanic system still shocked him.
"It's way too defiant of the natural order! How does this kid's brain work? I can't comprehend it!"
Ah Hao shrugged, as if saying he felt the same.
And just as Lin Feng was in shock, other teammates came out one after another. After trying it, the seven of them looked at each other, eyes wide in astonishment.
"Alright, let me draw a 'Little Sleep Treasure Talisman' for you all to have a good night's sleep."
Xu Ran quickly drew it.
A few minutes later.
Seven 'Little Sleep Treasure Talismans' were handed to Lin Feng and the others.
This is a new talisman he learned from the Light Turtle Shell. One use makes people sleep, but with a different drawing method, it can make enemies drowsy and overwhelmed by fatigue after hitting them.
However.
After witnessing Xu Ran's defiant way of mastering talismans.
How could the seven of them sleep? Suddenly they were all energized, their curiosity piqued to the fullest.
Faced with questions coming from all directions.
Xu Ran shrugged, "I comprehended some from the Talisman Vengeful God and some from the Light Turtle Shell."
As he spoke.
He also showed them the Light Turtle Shell.
All members of the Purifying Soul Godslaying Squad, "No... no way... you even took this?"
"Celestial Summit Pavilion allows it?"
Ah Hao, "And you can actually take it into your body?"
Ah Hao's words made the other members jump from one pit of shock to another.
Yes, taking it away defies common sense.
But being able to hide the Light Turtle Shell inside the body is the most defiant!!
It means Xu Ran got the Light Turtle Shell's recognition.
In the past two hundred years.
He's the first human cultivator to receive recognition from a treasure-level treasure!!
Unprecedented!!
The expressions of the Purifying Soul Godslaying Squad were more and more astounded.
Without a doubt.
Xu Ran's talent must have reached some transcendental height.
Xu Ran waved his hand, "No need to be so amazed. I'm going to hunt extraterrestrial beasts. Once you've slept enough and if I haven't achieved my goal, then please take me to the Contaminated Area..."
Lin Feng rubbed his eyelids.
"I am indeed sleepy. You can go to the battlefield outside the safe zone, just be careful. You're now a strategic-level genius; nothing must happen to you."
Xu Ran, "Okay."
They watched Xu Ran leave the suite.
The members of the Godslaying Squad started cursing out the words they had been holding back.
"What the hell, starting a whole talismanic system. That's insanely awesome!"
"Those damn exotic star creatures have been oppressing us for two hundred years; is it finally our time to rise?!"
"This generation's super genius, Xu Ran, is definitely going to crush those exotic star bastards!!"
"Beat the hell out of them, damn it!"
The cursing echoed throughout the suite.
Suddenly.
Someone changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, should we go protect Xu Ran now?"
"Didn't he just encounter the 'Unyielding Celestial Calamity' last time he trained? What if he encounters other types of celestial calamities... wouldn't that be incredibly dangerous?"
