Chapter 1326: The Puzzle That Consists of 7 Variant Formation Talismans

Ever since getting his hands on the formula of the Variant Formation Formation from Tong Yutang, he could already tell that it was an extraordinary talisman. He also knew that there were other Formation Talismans in the same series.

Tong Yutang’s attempt to silence him further proved his conjecture.

Shang Xia had never given up his research on his talisman. It had always been on the back of his mind whenever he was crafting or studying talismans.

The only problem back then was that he only knew 1 Variant Formation Talisman in the entire series and coming up with the rest was extremely difficult. As such, he didn’t progress much into the creation.

Only after obtaining the Star Origin Lord Robe did things take a turn for the better. He discovered 3 Variant Formation Talismans used to make it easily, and he already knew 1 of them.

That wasn’t what Shang Xia was celebrating at the moment. From the looks of it, the most important part of the robes was how the Variant Formation Talismans interacted with each other and brought out each other’s might.

It also greatly accelerated his progress in his development of the Variant Formation Talismans. During the process, he got his hands on the crafting method of the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman. Understanding more about how different talismans interacted with each other, he became even more sure that the Variant Formation Talismans were parts of a rank seven talisman.

His research reached a new level, and he understood it was time for him to prepare to become a rank seven Talisman Grandmaster.

As he grew stronger, so did Feng Ziying, which also increased his position in the Star Origin Guards. The information he brought back greatly assisted Shang Xia.

During the meeting of the high-level True Immortals of the 3 Spirit Worlds, Shang Xia had the confidence to ask about replicating the Star Origin Guards’ battle formation was because his research into the Variant Formation Talisman was close to concluding.

True Immortal Shao’s replica Star Robes also contained a Variant Formation Talisman, and with it, Shang Xia’s progress in its recreation grew rapidly.

After the meeting in the Spirit Thistle World, Shagn Xia quickly returned to Star Beast Nest No.2 and threw himself into his research of the Variant Formation Talismans, spending an entire year to create all 7 of them.

With the talismans, all that was left was the battle formation and how they would recreate Star Robes with the Variant Formation Talismans.

What Shang Xia was interested in was how he should fuse those talismans together. After all, the moment it was done, a rank seven talisman would be produced!

He had the example on the Star Origin Lord Robes, and he could use it as a reference when he started the fusion process. With additional attempts, he finally found a way to introduce the fourth talisman into the mix. When he was introducing the fifth, he discovered his greatest problem. Rank six talisman paper could no longer contain the power of the superimposition of 5 talismans!

He was placed in a really difficult spot. He could tell that even if he fused 5 talismans together, it wouldn’t reach the standard of a rank seven talisman yet.

That meant that he needed additional treasures in order to withstand the power of the talismans such that they could be fused...

His gaze landed on the Star Origin Lord Robe. The Tongyou Institution had no idea what it was made of yet, and he had been asking the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle Worlds for any information about it. Unfortunately, they didn’t seem like they would reveal it easily.

Helpless, Shang Xia decided to place his hopes onto the special talisman paper used to make Myriad Tinted Cloud Talismans.

Even though Ren Huan had already started his research into it, it wasn’t something he could replicate easily. From what Shang Xia could understand, Ren Huan was stuck on something.

He only gained inspiration after thinking about the Star Chart he obtained from the second tier True Immortal of the Essence Ming World. That was how he thought about the special talisman paper the Wanyun association provided.

Even though he knew that the special talisman paper he would need would be different from the one provided by the Wanyun Association, it was true that both talisman papers were of special quality.

In the end, Shang Xia couldn’t help but think about the possibility of obtaining special talisman paper from the Essence Ming World.

Before that... he still had a few special talisman papers he could use to test out the feasibility of fusing the fifth talisman into the rest.

Wasting 4 sheets of special talisman paper, he finally completed the fusion. Unfortunately, that also stopped his progress of fusing the rest of the Variant Formation Talismans as he had run out of special rank six talisman paper.

Originally, he planned to save the special talisman paper used to craft Myriad Tinted Cloud Talismans. However, he ended up using them to craft Variant Formation Talismans.

Handing 2 semi-complete talismans that were made up of 5 Variant Formation Talismans to Hai Yuanyuan and ordering her to send it back to the Star Observatory in the institution, he wanted to get Yuan Qiuyuan and the rest to test out its abilities.

The reason he sent it back to the Star Observatory to be tested was because he had his suspicions. There were 3 Variant Formation Talismans that could be observed in the Star Origin Lord Robe, but when he wore it, his cultivation could reach the peak of the fifth tier! In Kou Chongxue’s hands, it could allow him to possess the strength of an expert at the fifth tier of the Martial Void Realm, albeit not at its peak.

However... During his fusion process, even though his semi-complete talisman was made up of 5 Variant Formation Talismans, it didn’t have an effect of raising his cultivation at all.

He was disappointed, but he also realized that there were many more secrets on the Star Robes.

...

The fused talisman might not show the full effects of the Star Robes, but it wasn’t completely useless. At the very least, the Star Observatory learned that it could greatly increase the strength of purification of the power of starlight they could draw. The more Variant Formation Talismans he fused, the stronger the purification...

After using the power of starlight that had been purified, Yuan Qiuyuan was able to create Three Lights Water more easily, and gathering star elemental extermination origins and Origin Dippers became much faster than before. It greatly assisted Yuan Qiuyuan’s cultivation.
