Chapter 29 Visualization Diagram: Five-Colored Stones, Ambition to Mend the Sky
Over the next three days, the Qingjiang City Bureau of Supernatural Affairs conducted a large-scale purge of cults such as the Ghostly Soul Cult and the Five Gu Cult within the Ghost Realm.
Jiang Jun deliberately avoided the most intense battles, focusing solely on hunting the Azure Fish Ghost Child.
When the seven-day period was up, Jiang Jun was sent back to reality by the Mirror World.
In the instant he vanished from the realm of the spirits, he saw Cai Liang's figure also become illusory, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: 'He shouldn't have perished in the realm of the spirits.'
Back home, the "Ghostly Prohibition" sign on the window emitted a shimmering, clear light, and the eerie aura that Jiang Jun had been tainted with dissipated.
He communicated with the spirit of "Gui Bu Xu" for a while, then put "Gui Jian Chou" and "Shen Ji Fu" back in their original places, and put away the strange stones and strange objects he had collected before coming to the desk.
The folk notebook opened on its own, landing on the page of "The Divine Rooster Catches the Five Poisons Talisman," where a progress bar that was a million records long had already overflowed.
"It seems the Five Gu Sect has thoroughly angered the Department of Divine Mysteries," Jiang Jun mused. "To produce a million divine rooster talismans in less than a month—their execution is simply astonishing."
Unfortunately, no golden light of merit descended, and the back of the divine rooster talisman remained blank, without any colorful depiction.
Jiang Jun was thus unable to communicate remotely with the original "Divine Rooster Talisman" and could only carry it with him in case of unforeseen circumstances.
The progress bar on the third page is full, and Jiang Jun has unlocked the editing permissions for the fourth item.
However, given the inability to unlock more pages, he was cautious and did not rush to write.
For the next month, Jiang Jun stayed at home, meditating daily on the "Shi Gandang" visualization diagram, and completed the cultivation of the Spiritual Realm: Calming the Mind Chapter.
During breaks in his cultivation, he would take out the cultivation methods given to him by Lin Zhengyang and compare them with those of the Department of Divine Wonders.
The method consists of three volumes, corresponding to the three realms of spiritual communication, fusion, and refinement. Jiang Jun only skimmed the last two volumes, focusing mainly on the first volume.
The first volume is also divided into three parts: the Concentration section contains the visualization "Water, Clouds, and Bamboo," the Mind-Calming section contains the visualization "Clear Sound Bell," and the Spiritual Communication section is almost identical to the Department of Divine Wonders.
After comparing the two, Jiang Jun found that although the Qingzhu Temple's method had its own characteristics, its essence was slightly inferior to that of the Shenyisi's method. Therefore, he only used it as a reference and did not switch to it.
On this day, the study was filled with alternating flashes of light: clear light, purple light, white light, and firelight. The phantom of the divine rooster appeared, and the three talismans resonated together.
Within Jiang Jun's sea of consciousness, all the power to suppress things had been transformed into true energy, which fell beneath the Pure Lotus, shimmering brightly.
The next moment, the "Shi Gandang" outlined by true energy completely manifested and took shape, turning into a small pebble.
This small pebble is quite different from the image of Shi Gandang, and it does not have the aura of suppressing monsters and remaining as immovable as a mountain.
It is only a tiny piece, like a dazzling crystal, constantly revolving around the pure lotus, each facet refracting a hazy firelight.
With each rotation of the pebble, a ripple would emanate, making Jiang Jun appear ethereal and otherworldly.
"Just added a layer of temperament filter?" Jiang Jun frowned slightly, feeling that the function of this visualization was more than that.
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and took an elite-grade strange stone in his hand.
Within his sea of consciousness, the small pebble slowly rotated, its fiery colors flickering and emitting wondrous fluctuations.
Jiang Jun was delighted to discover that the dense eerie energy on the strange stone was showing a tendency to be purified into yin energy—although very slowly, it was a good start.
Before this, it was already a consensus among all those who controlled supernatural beings that "only divine objects can purify supernatural beings."
"I've become a humanoid supernatural being?" Jiang Jun was both amused and exasperated, but his confidence in his ability to suppress supernatural beings grew even stronger.
"If we can overcome the limitation that the power of suppressing objects cannot be cultivated on its own, then the way of suppressing objects will truly sweep across the entire cultivation world!"
He took a deep breath, the lotus swaying gently, and finally calmed himself down: "The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit."
He put the strange stone back and sensed the dazzling little pebble in his sea of consciousness: "Since it is not in the same category as Shi Gandang, then it should be called something else."
After much thought, he decided to choose a name with lofty aspirations: "How about... Five-Colored Stone?"
Legend has it that the goddess Nuwa refined five-colored stones to mend the sky.
Although Jiang Jun considers himself a humble college student with a mere three feet of life, since he has the opportunity to create a folk notebook, he also has the ambition to establish a school of thought and refute evil and rectify wrongdoing.
Smoothing out the strange and bizarre, restoring clarity to the world—isn't this a kind of "mending the sky"?
After naming his new visualization "Five-Colored Stone," he was filled with excitement and prepared to complete the third stage of the Spirit Communication Realm—the Spirit Communication Chapter—in one fell swoop.
In the system of the Ghost Masters, whether it is cultivating visualization diagrams or refining Yin energy, they are just means. The fundamental purpose is to use them as a foundation to communicate with spirits, integrate with them, and refine ghosts.
Switching to the method of suppressing objects means communicating with and merging with the spirituality within the object, and finally refining it completely.
Jiang Jun has long been able to achieve spiritual communication, but he lacks systematic practice.
He took out the booklet from the Department of Mysteries and carefully studied the incantations within.
"Blood is the guide, intention is the bridge. With a clear mind, one can see into the other's heart. Not with the eyes, not with the ears, but with heart to heart, a spiritual connection is formed."
This is the process in the Demon Hunter system where a blood pact is used to elevate a spiritual pact.
Following the detailed instructions, Jiang Jun began to communicate with the original deities of the three protective objects.
According to those who wield supernatural creatures, they place a great burden on the human body. It is best to communicate with only one supernatural creature, focus on nurturing it, and then expand upon it only after advancing to the Refinement Realm.
But Jiang Jun was now in a dilemma.
Within the sea of consciousness, the pure lotus swayed and shone brightly, and the five-colored sparks of fire shimmered.
Jiang Jun's divine sense naturally spread out, and without any special sensing, it connected with the original forms of the three protective objects.
The spirit of "Gui Bu Xu" is like a pool of clear water, with a few green leaves floating gently in it, quiet and peaceful, with a touch of shyness.
When Jiang Jun's consciousness interacts with it, it shyly shrinks into a ball of water, but quickly expands again, soaking Jiang Jun's consciousness with a secret joy and affection.
The spirit of "Ghostly Sorrow" is a purple light sword inlaid with a white jade bead, flamboyant, sharp, and full of brilliance.
As Jiang Jun's divine sense swept over it, the light sword shone brightly, like a confident and cheerful child showing off to a respected elder.
The spirit of the "Divine Rooster Talisman" is a little rooster surrounded by blazing flames, proudly holding its head high, exuding an aura of domineering majesty.
Jiang Jun's consciousness resonated with it, and it held its head high, seemingly disdainful. But when it sensed his communication with the other two, it paced around somewhat irritably, spitting sparks from its mouth and nose.
As the master of the guardian spirits, he could sense their affection for him.
As the saying goes, both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, let alone three of them.
Seeing that Jiang Jun was hesitant to make a choice, the clear water gradually shrank into a ball, losing its previous clarity.
The purple sword's radiance gradually dimmed, as if covered with a layer of dust.
The little rooster lowered its proud head, and the flames around it gradually died down.
Jiang Jun was hesitant when he suddenly realized: the reason why a monster tamer only contracts with one monster is because the monster is harmful to them and they cannot bear more.
However, the power of suppressing objects can also nourish the body and improve physical strength. In theory, it should complement the cultivator, so there is no need to be bound by this.
A glint flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the three original artifacts: "Only those who control demons make choices. My way of controlling artifacts is to have them all!"
The next moment, "Ghostly Prohibition", "Ghostly Sorrow", and "Divine Chicken Catches Five Poisons Talisman" all emitted light and then transformed into streams of light, entering Jiang Jun's arms.
