Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 405: Reassurance in Advance

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Reassurance in Advance

“…”

Lu Ran stared at Cen Yunuo, then looked again at the Talisman in Yunuo’s hand.

He couldn’t understand, simply couldn’t understand at all.

“I don’t understand, but it sounds impressive,” Lu Ran pondered and said.

“It’s normal not to understand. You’re not a real Daoist; it’d be weird if you did. Just wanted you to see if it’s useful or not. Isn’t this Taoist Skill something you haven’t acquired? I’m giving it to you; does this count as acquiring it?” Yunuo said.

In the former Daluo Palace, the process of passing on talismans was a very long one.

Not this simple at all.

Lu Ran reached out to take it.

He asked, “It’s that simple? Can anyone do it? The lines look a bit complex, but with some practice, it shouldn’t be too difficult to draw, right?”

Upon hearing this.

Cen Yunuo couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Do you think the Taoist Sect is an art class? Talismans can be copied, but their effects will be gone.”

According to Cen Yunuo’s explanation.

The use of Talismans involves more than just being able to draw them.

This is one of the hardest points in learning Taoist Skills.

In the Daluo Palace, passing on a talisman requires setting an altar, circulating qi, and cultivating at the Thunder Altar.

“To what extent should one cultivate?” Lu Ran asked.

“Transform oneself into a god, observing the celestial phenomena of Daluo,” Cen Yunuo said.

“Sounds awesome!” Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.

“So, merely copying a drawing is useless. You need to use Divine Thought to communicate with the universe. The true effect of a talisman is more like an edict, commanding the Power of Nine Heavens Divine Slaughter with a human body,” Cen Yunuo said.

Only then did Lu Ran understand.

Simply copying the talisman is just drawing.

You still need understanding and cultivation to use it.

Depending on the user’s level of cultivation and the depth of Taoist Skill, the power and effect of the Talisman can vary greatly.

“I see. If that’s the case, and given that I haven’t cultivated at all, this thing is just like a ghost scribble in my hands. What use does it have? Cultivating Taoist Skills is so difficult. I think I’ll just pass…” Lu Ran sighed and said.

But before he finished speaking.

He suddenly froze.

Staring at the Talisman in his hand.

The font was twisted, with the four large characters “Fengle Xuantian” on top, connected to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper below, with a complex, twisted “Wind” character in the middle!

The most crucial thing was.

This thing had attributes!

“Yunuo, does this thing have attributes? Is it an item?” Lu Ran asked with surprise.

“Ah? Where would attributes come from? Taoist Skills aren’t data-based,” Cen Yunuo said.

She also looked at the Talisman in Lu Ran’s hand.

Couldn’t see any attributes.

It’s just a piece of talisman paper.

“But I can see the attributes,” Lu Ran pondered.

[Item: Shenxiao Celestial Cloak Curse]

[Description: Top-grade Talisman from the Three Mountains Talisman in the Shenxiao Sect]

[Effect: Summon the Great Celestial Cloak for your use!]

“Wow, it looks awesome, it’s a Summoning Series Taoist Skill!” Lu Ran exclaimed.

Although he didn’t know what would be summoned.

Or how powerful it would be.

But just from the description, he could feel its awesomeness!

And most importantly.

At the very bottom, it was marked with: [Learnable]!

Lu Ran’s heart beat wildly.

This thing can be learned directly?

It’s practically like a Skill Book.

Lu Ran immediately chose to learn it.

Then…

“Why is there no reaction? Did I learn it or not?” Lu Ran said in astonishment.

He glanced around, then looked down at his own body.

No change at all.

No Taoist Skill in his mind.

Lu Ran informed Cen Yunuo of his discovery.

“You can learn it? And you learned it too? Is it that simple?” Yunuo was dumbfounded.

God knows how difficult it was when Yunuo entered the Taoist Sect and learned Taoist Skills.

How did it become so simple for Lu Ran?

“But it doesn’t seem useful. I learned it, but I don’t have anything in my mind,” Lu Ran said helplessly.

“Since the Taoist Skill has been data-based for you, it should be in the Skills. Check if it is there,” Cen Yunuo suggested after thinking for a moment.

Prompted by Yunuo.

Lu Ran quickly opened the Skills panel to check.

Upon looking.

It really was there!

The previously empty Daoist Skills panel.

Now had a skill!

It was the Shenxiao Celestial Cloak Curse!

“Got it, got it, wow, I have a Taoist Skill now!” Lu Ran said excitedly.

Then he chose to use the skill.

But…

Nothing happened around him.

“Darn it, this thing turned into a skill but can’t be used,” Lu Ran muttered.

“I don’t know, maybe… might be like me, using the way of casting Taoist Skills to use the skill?” Cen Yunuo guessed.

“How do I use it?” Lu Ran asked.

Cen Yunuo looked at the Celestial Cloak Curse in Lu Ran’s hand.

Then she also took out an identical one.

“This Celestial Cloak Curse is actually not a Talisman from the Daluo Palace but from the Shenxiao Sect. Still, the talismans from the Three Mountains share the same origin, so I learned related ones. It’s a top-grade Talisman from the Shenxiao Sect, and it’s quite simple to use,” she said.

After saying that.

She held the Talisman with sword fingers pinched in front of her.

“Communicate with the Talisman using Divine Thought, and activate it,” Yunuo said.

As soon as she finished speaking.

Buzz~

The Talisman in Yunuo’s hand shattered immediately.

Then.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck directly down.

In front of Yunuo and Lu Ran, a small giant, six meters tall, suddenly appeared!

With four arms, each holding a weapon.

It looked like a divine warrior, imposing and majestic.

“Wow, awesome! Let me try!” Lu Ran said excitedly.

“You can try it, but the Great Celestial Cloak you summon might differ from mine. With this type of Talisman, the deeper the Taoist Skill, the more powerful the summoned Great Celestial Cloak. I’ve cultivated for years and can only achieve this level. You just learned it; don’t rush. It’s fine as long as you can summon it successfully,” Yunuo reassured in advance.

Lu Ran didn’t care about that.

He just needed to summon it successfully now.

Thus.

Lu Ran imitated Yunuo’s method, clamping the Celestial Cloak Curse between two fingers.

Holding it in front of him, his eyes fixed firmly on the Talisman.

A few seconds later.

Lu Ran turned awkwardly, saying, “Uh, what is Divine Thought? How do I communicate and activate it?”

Uh…

Cen Yunuo was at a loss for words but wanted to explain without knowing how.

She only vaguely said, “It’s hard to explain. Only through cultivation can one experience Divine Thought, but yours is data-based, so it shouldn’t be the same with Divine Thought as well, right? You… you could try communicating with your thoughts? Or maybe, although you’ve obtained the Taoist Skill, it’s not usable due to a lack of Tao Cultivation?”

That would be a problem!

Lu Ran got a bit anxious.

Acquiring a Taoist Skill yet unable to use it would be a joke!

Then it’s useless too. The learning process is skipped, making it possible to learn directly, but without being able to use it, it’s nothing.

Would I still need to diligently cultivate Tao Cultivation?

It’s better to forget it after all.

However…

It’s still necessary to try.

Lu Ran turned his attention back, staring at the Talisman at his fingertips, his eyes focused, trying repeatedly to communicate using his own thoughts.

The next second.

Bang!

The Talisman in Lu Ran’s hand truly shattered…
