Cultivation: I Have a Golden Talisman

Inside the dimly lit bedchamber.

The warm canopy felt like spring, and a soft fragrance filled the air.

Clothes lay scattered beneath the bed.

Suddenly, a Talisman Decree slowly rose from the scattered clothes, hovering in midair and emitting a brilliant glow.

From the bed, a strand of Divine Sense swept over it. There was no need to look; its contents were already known.

"Ling Yan wants me to go see her."

Fang Cheng’s refreshed and clear voice came from within the warm canopy.

"Mmm..."

The response was a delicate, languid, and alluring hum.

Then, a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs extended from the canopy, and smooth feet touched the floor.

Mu Xueling sat on the edge of the bed and stretched languidly.

"Where are you going?"

Fang Cheng asked curiously.

Mu Xueling glanced back with a smile. "If Ling Yan is calling you over, it must be about the Feather Divine Soldiers. Naturally, I’ll be returning to my own residence."

Fang Cheng sat up, his gaze traveling from Mu Xueling’s smooth shoulders, down the gentle curve of her spine and slender waist, to the sudden flare of her hips, and finally to her round bottom pressed against the bed.

"That Secret Technique of yours is quite profound. Why not stay here a few more days so we can study it properly?" Fang Cheng said, trying to persuade her to stay.

Mu Xueling’s Demon Secret Technique had indeed brought him many new and peculiar experiences. He savored the memory of the female cultivator’s recent heated, unrestrained trembling, feeling a little reluctant to let her go.

Mu Xueling stood up, put on her dress, and smiled lightly. "Your skills are too profound, sir. I’m afraid I can’t handle much more. We should practice again another day."

With that, she turned and left.

Fang Cheng watched the beautiful woman’s departing figure with a somewhat peculiar expression.

...

「Lingyan Mansion.」

Fang Cheng presented the Talisman Decree and was led by a servant to the entrance of a palace.

’A Pocket World Spiritual Building?’

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he discovered that this palace was completely different from the surrounding buildings. In fact, it was very similar to the Pocket World Spiritual Buildings he had encountered before.

The Mo Luo Realm was a Cultivation World even more prosperous than the Red Profound Realm, so it wasn’t surprising that it would have inherited such pocket world treasures.

He stepped into the palace and was met with a vast expanse of gray fog from which waves of spatial fluctuations emanated.

His expression remained calm as he strode through the gray fog and emerged onto a vast green field.

The grass was like a lush carpet, and gently rolling hills could be seen in the distance. A bright, runic sun hung in the sky, and a warm breeze blew against his face.

On the grass stood a massive, hundred-zhang-tall Feather Divine Soldier, towering proudly.

This Feather Divine Soldier was completely different from any he had seen before. It had a phoenix’s beak and silver fangs, crimson hair on a blue body, wings sprouting from its armpits, eyes blazing with fire, and the claws of a dragon for both hands and feet.

Its indigo Profound Iron Body was clad in grand, ancient-looking golden armor covered in dense Profound Patterns that flowed with divine light.

The twin wings on its back looked as if they were forged from a thousand incomparably sharp swords. Along its spine, nineteen snowflake-shaped Spirit Flame vents shimmered with a dazzling light.

Beneath the Feather Divine Soldier stood a tall, graceful beauty of the Feather Race with a cold and stunning aura.

It was none other than Ling Yan.

Fang Cheng walked forward and greeted her.

Without turning her head, Ling Yan said, "Of the nine Tier Four Feather Divine Soldiers my master, Master Shengyu, has refined, this is his proudest creation: Marshal Deng of the Fire Law Order."

Fang Cheng’s expression flickered. "Marshal Deng, is that the name of this Feather Divine Soldier?"

Ling Yan nodded and pointed at the Feather Divine Soldier. "From now on, you are the Commander of this Feather Divine Soldier."

Fang Cheng took a deep breath and cupped his hands. "Thank you."

Ling Yan’s expression was as cool as ever. She said faintly, "Don’t be so quick to thank me. Before you can take command of this Feather Divine Soldier, you must first agree to two conditions."

"Please, go ahead."

Ling Yan turned her head to look at him. "First, you will obey Madam Qi and periodically hunt the Tier Four Celestial Demons around the Profound Celestial Demon City to ensure the Demon City’s safety."

"Second, you will assist Madam Qi in suppressing the core of the Profound City Five Spirits Grand Array and help her refine a treasure."

Fang Cheng nodded. "Consider it done."

Ling Yan said, "I hold the Divine Seal to this Feather Divine Soldier. If you go back on your word today, I can reclaim this treasure at any time."

Fang Cheng readily agreed.

Ling Yan then began to explain how to pilot the Feather Divine Soldier.

This Feather Divine Soldier was a treasure created through the joint efforts of the Feather Race’s sage, Master Shengyu, and the peerless genius, Marquis Li. It was the grand culmination of the Xuanyu Realm’s Feather God Dao Pattern and the Mo Luo Realm’s Artifact Refining Technique.

The Feather Divine Soldier controls Thunder Power. Its core components are the Thunder Pool located in its chest and the nineteen snowflake-shaped Spirit Flame vents on its back.

The Thunder Pool is the furnace, and Celestial Demon Relics are the fuel. The Thunder Power of a Feather Divine Soldier is measured by the number of Celestial Demon Relics in the Thunder Pool and how many Spirit Flame vents on its back are ignited.

Furthermore, within the Feather Divine Soldier is a core Fourth-rank Talisman named the Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Pure Great Brahman Purple Star Xuan Du Jade Talisman!

This talisman contains numerous Thunder Divine Techniques. As for how many Divine Techniques the Commander can use, it all depends on their personal comprehension.

Inside the Pocket World Spiritual Building.

Once Ling Yan finished her explanation, Fang Cheng’s figure flashed. He flew into the sky and arrived in front of the Feather Divine Soldier’s head.

CLICK! A seam opened on its brow, revealing the cockpit inside.

Fang Cheng sat down inside, and the cockpit sealed shut.

The cockpit’s interior was spherical, about a zhang in diameter, and housed a magnificent, stately throne.

The spherical walls of the cockpit were a lustrous white, covered with countless abstruse and intricate Spirit Patterns. With a mere thought, Fang Cheng’s Divine Sense connected and merged with the sphere’s surface!

In the next moment, the entire sphere became transparent. From Fang Cheng’s perspective, it was as if the Feather Divine Soldier had vanished, leaving his view completely unobstructed.

He looked down and saw Ling Yan still standing at the foot of the Feather Divine Soldier, her hands behind her back as she looked up at him.

At the same time, his mind became intimately connected with the Feather Divine Soldier, moving it as easily as his own limbs. The status of the Feather Divine Soldier also appeared clearly in his mind.

The "Thunder Pool" representing Magical Power was empty...

The "Profound Iron Vajra Body" representing the physical body was completely intact...

The "Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Pure Great Brahman Purple Star Xuan Du Jade Talisman" representing Divine Techniques was integrated with the Feather Divine Soldier in a peculiar state.

Thunder Nine Slashes, Thunder Shock Escape Technique, Thunderfire World-Ending Seal...

Information on numerous Thunder Divine Techniques flooded his mind, but it was all vague and indistinct.

He would need to diligently study and comprehend them before he could fully unleash the true power of this Feather Divine Soldier.

In other words, as long as he had enough Celestial Demon Relics, he could use this Feather Divine Soldier to unleash power comparable to a Dharma Realm master.

Sitting inside the Feather Divine Soldier, Fang Cheng contemplated the similarities and differences between this treasure and the Mechanical Battle Armor from the Red Flame Immortal Palace.

Both could elevate a Cultivator’s strength to a higher level.

The Mechanical Battle Armor was more like a full suit of armor, while the Feather Divine Soldier was like a giant puppet.

Beyond the enhancement of Divine Power, it also had a sense of being an extension of one’s Body Refining, making it a better fit for the combat styles of Demon Cultivators and even some of the giant Celestial Demons.

It was difficult to distinguish the pros and cons of the two at a glance, but it was undeniable that the Feather Divine Soldier was of a higher grade. It didn’t just have Tier Four versions, but Tier Five as well!

As for the Mechanical Battle Armor, he had yet to hear of a Tier Four version being created.

’I need to find a chance to properly test the power of this Feather Divine Soldier.’

With a thought, Fang Cheng made the Feather Divine Soldier vanish, refining and storing it away.

He slowly descended and said to Ling Yan, "Spirit Friend, if there is nothing else, Fang Mou will take his leave now."
