Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Even Gu Li was intrigued now.

"The Primordial Talisman Scripture... I wonder what mysteries it holds."

Qiu Xin on the high platform smiled.

"Of course, since the participants are all talisman masters, other rewards are indispensable."

"We do have cinnabar and talisman paper, but those aren't the most important."

With that, Qiu Xin held up a radiant talisman pen, tinged with cyan and gold.

Numerous intricate, luminous runes flickered on the pen's shaft.

The bristles were white and slightly longer than those of ordinary talisman pens.

"Hahaha, this talisman pen is made from Azure Firmament Spirit Bamboo, and the tip is made from the tail fur of a Wind Spirit Enchanting Fox."

"A Profound Spirit Jade is also embedded in the shaft."

"It's crafted by Qing Xiaozhi, a master artificer from our Lingyi Prefecture!"

Li Guanqi noticed the longing in Gu Li's eyes, indicating that this talisman pen was indeed very attractive to Gu Li.

However, he was secretly wondering if it would be very powerful to make a pen shaft from烛龙 Dragon Bone and the bristles from Dragon Whisker?

Li Guanqi secretly kept this matter in mind, thinking that if he had the opportunity to find a more skilled artificer in the future, he could inquire about it.

Qiu Xin smiled and raised his hand slightly, suppressing the surrounding noisy discussions.

The man formed a talisman seal with both hands and cast a rune.

Rumble!!!

Instantly, the ground of the entire vast square, nearly two thousand feet in radius, trembled violently.

The talisman's spiritual light seemed to merge with the art of formations, and golden纹路 patterns flickered on the square's surface.

In an instant, a huge maze wall slowly rose.

The golden rune walls were a full ten feet high, intricately crisscrossing and extremely complex.

There were nearly a hundred circular maze entrances.

Moreover, Gu Li keenly sensed that this maze was not simple; each intersection contained extremely dense talisman fluctuations.

Zhao Chenze couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile upon seeing this.

"Good heavens, I didn't expect the sect master to bring this out as well."

Gu Li didn't ask much, and he heard a voice inviting the disciples of each sect to enter.

Gu Li got up, a smile on his lips.

"Big brother, I'm going."

Immediately afterward, many sect disciples flew down from the stands of the six sects one after another.

Nearly a hundred disciples from all the sects landed at the outermost entrances of the maze.

Zhao Chenze was dozens of feet away from Gu Li, and on the other side were Yang Xiu and Ding Lu.

Zhao Chenze narrowed his eyes and said to Yang Xiu with a gloomy expression.

"Yang Xiu, I advise you not to have any crooked thoughts."

Zhao Chenze had heard about what happened at Qingbei Peak before, and he was afraid that the other party would attack Gu Li in this maze.

Gu Li folded his sleeves, turned his head to look at Yang Xiu, and narrowed his eyes with a bright smile.

"Was it my second brother who chopped you up a few days ago?"

Yang Xiu's face darkened upon hearing this, revealing a hint of coldness.

"I hope your talisman skills are as impressive as your mouth."

Gu Li showed a surprised expression.

"You're praising me just because I poked at your wound?"

Gu Li's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"To be honest, you should be grateful."

"After all, my second brother held back; otherwise, your head would have been separated from your body long ago."

Yang Xiu gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.

"Hmph, it's useless to say more. You and I are both talisman cultivators; let's compete in the art of talismans!"

Gu Li imitated Yang Xiu's tone in a strange and sarcastic manner, shaking his head.

"Compete in the art of talismans～"

"You!"

"You what, you coward? Consider yourself lucky. My second brother still considered the reputation of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, or he would have chopped you up long ago."

Zhao Chenze watched this scene with a smile.

Ding Lu, who was not far away, looked at Gu Li with a solemn expression.

"The talismanic Dao rhythm on his body is truly terrifying..."

Yang Xiu snorted coldly and ignored Gu Li.

Zhao Chenze looked at the maze in front of him and said softly.

"This maze is a series of talismanic tests. You have to break the formation with talismans, identify the dead ends, and there are likely to be confusing篆符 talismans in those dead ends..."

"In short, it's not easy to reach the center and get that stack of fourth-order talisman paper..."

Gu Li's eyes widened.

"What? Fourth-order talisman paper???"

Zhao Chenze nodded with a smile.

"Yes, it should be the same as last time, ten sheets of fourth-order talisman paper."

Gu Li didn't take it seriously at first, but upon hearing this, he felt like he had inexhaustible energy.

Gu Li got into a sprinting stance, rubbing his fists.

"Mine, mine!! It's all mine!!!"

He faintly heard Qiu Xin's explanation, which was roughly the same as what Zhao Chenze said.

A sandalwood incense stick was lit and stuck in mid-air.

"The time limit is half an hour, begin!!"

Dong!!!

Gu Li raised his hand and placed three篆符 talismans on his chest!

"Profound篆·Origin!"

"Azure篆·Speed!"

"Crimson篆·Strength!"

Under the blessing of the three篆符 talismans, Gu Li shot out like an arrow from a bow.

With the Nirvana Spiritual Feathers unfolding behind him, he instantly rushed into the maze!!

The walls were towering, and Gu Li rushed in alone.

Immediately afterward, two篆符 talismans floating in mid-air burst out with huge fireballs, rushing towards Gu Li!!

However, at this moment...

The Nirvana Spiritual Feathers behind Gu Li suddenly disappeared, and the power in his body was suppressed and could not be mobilized at all.

Ye Feng frowned upon seeing this.

"Suppression and sealing power?"

"Could it be... that only the power of篆符 talismans can be mobilized inside the maze?"

Boom!!!

An ice wall appeared out of thin air!!

Gu Li soared into the air and kicked the wall, suddenly jumping out!!

Gu Li pinched a篆符 talisman in his left hand and quickly drew a new篆符 talisman in his right hand.

"Interesting, can we only use the power of篆符 talismans to find a way to break through the maze?"

The spiritual power of the sea of consciousness was suppressed and could not be released.

In other words, they could not mobilize their divine sense to explore where the correct path was.

Gu Li's pen moved like a dragon and a snake, and dozens of篆符 talismans were formed in the blink of an eye!

With a wave of his left hand, the篆符 talismans burned and turned into countless specks of spiritual light, frantically rushing to other branches.

Once they encountered a wall or a dead end, those spiritual lights would instantly dissipate, and Gu Li would feel it in his heart.

Yang Xiu broke through several attacks composed of篆符 talismans in a row and moved extremely fast.

Throwing out one篆符 talisman after another, accurately finding the path belonging to his entrance that led to the center.

Others were also showing their special skills.

Qiu Xin and Jiang Canghe and others gathered together to observe the situation of Gu Li and others below.

"Gu Li's speed of drawing篆符 talismans is so fast!"

"Yes, and his talisman pen doesn't have any blessing, it all depends on his own speed."

Boom boom boom!!!!

A violent explosion sounded, and Gu Li pressed his left hand on the wall, soared into the air, and once again broke through several strands of strangling power of篆符 talismans.

The runes flickered, and he seemed to be covered in golden armor, unstoppable!!

At this time, Gu Li and others had traveled more than a hundred feet!

The fastest of the other disciples was only forty feet, and most of them were still trapped at about twenty feet.

The entrance paths of the four people were adjacent, and the speed of the four people was seen by everyone when looking down from a high place.
