Chapter 2: The Broken Heavenly Court in the Sea of Spirits
After returning home, Xia Chen locked the door and went into the card room.
This card room is the most expensive room in his family, not only is it extremely soundproof, but the materials used can also shield from external spiritual forces.
Card makers need absolute silence during the card making process in order to be able to concentrate.
At the same time, the process of card making is also the secret of every card maker, so no matter how careful the creation of the card making room is, it involves many things.
Sitting on the chair, Xia Chen calmed down and adjusted his breathing, this time the cards he was going to make were extraordinary, even if he was well prepared, he needed to be extremely careful.
In his projection, the quality of this card was at least purple, and it was the most difficult [Realm Card] to make, which was almost the limit of what he could achieve right now.
Regarding the quality of the cards, they are also divided into nine levels, which are as follows:
Gray (Inferior), White (Normal), Green (Excellent), Blue (Boutique), Purple (Rare), Black (Perfect), Orange (Epic), Gold (Legendary), Red (Mythic).
And each level of quality is the same as the card master level, which is divided into one to ten stars.
However, quality and star rating are not all the criteria for measuring a card, and "future potential" is just as important, which is related to the card's advancement and ceiling.
Generally speaking, the more you can level up, the more potential a card will have, and even if it doesn't start out with a high quality, it can be enhanced by subsequent progressions.
When it comes to the potential of a card, it comes to the core of a card master - knowledge and inspiration.
These two determine the [depth of information] that a card master can give to the card when making cards, and the [rationality] that is enough to be recognized by the world, which is very crucial.
【Knowledge】......
It is a gift from the spiritual sea of this world to those who are destined to do so, and it can directly provide ready-made information to help card masters create unexpectedly powerful cards.
It's a kind of opportunity that can't be sought.
And [inspiration] ......
It is the card master who uses his own understanding to feel the changes in the rules of the world through his connection with the spirit of the world, so as to make cards that are recognized by the spirit of the world.
It is a process that all card makers must go through when making cards.
As for the card that Xia Chen is about to make, what do you say...... To outsiders, it may seem to him to be inspired by himself, but in fact it is the embodiment of knowledge.
The reason why there is such a contradiction is because these [knowledge] do not come from the [gift] of the spiritual sea, but from Xia Chen's own mind.
Chinese Mythology......
Magnificent, bizarre, profound, and mysterious, full of the wisdom and imagination of the Chinese people, it is the favorite thing for Xia Chen in his previous life to look at in his spare time.
The first card he tried to make was based on Chinese mythology, and he just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect it to be made.
【Jiameng Gatekeeper: Demon Rite Youth】
It is Xia Chen's first card, and it also reveals a big secret of this world for him.
He originally thought that there were no civilization myths known in his previous life in this world, and there were no traces on the Internet, but he didn't think that they were all sleeping in the spiritual sea of this world.
In the long years of this world, countless civilizations have appeared, some of which he knows and some of which are more unknown.
Of course, these civilizations eventually perished in the course of time, but the powerful ones among them have left their mark to a greater or lesser extent.
The more powerful the civilization, the more complete the imprint will be, such as the Chinese civilization, which retains almost the entire mythological system.
And these marks of civilization are basically ownerless things, and whoever can connect with them can obtain their [knowledge] and know their mysteries.
At the same time, if the time is right, they will also choose and connect with the destined person, which is the source of the [gift of knowledge].
There is no doubt that Xia Chen, who has his own "knowledge base of Chinese civilization", was noticed by the imprint of Chinese civilization the first time he came to this world, and has also become the first choice for imprints.
Placing the purple cards, blank cards, painting knives, and several material cards that had been prepared one by one, Xia Chen took a deep breath, slowly exhaled it, and then closed his eyes.
This moment......
Buzz –
The spiritual power in his mind rippled out, and he was like a small round drop of water suddenly falling, "ticking"......
Fall into the ocean.
Connecting to the spiritual sea of the world is the first step in card making, and after the connection is completed, ordinary card masters will see the boundless calm sea, and they will stand on the sea.
But Xia Chen is different, when he opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was the twelve crowns, and below him was a large hall full of golden and brilliant glass, and there were countless phantoms standing on the hall, like clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see really.
At this time, Xia Chen was wearing a nine-dragon dark robe, and the nine nine-clawed golden dragons were majestic and shining.
There is a purple and gold crown on his head, and the twelve crowns are slightly shaking, showing the emperor's spirit.
Under the cover of the crown, he was stripped of his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly from the outside.
But the purple gold dragon chair under him says everything, this is the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in Chinese mythology, and he ......
It's the Emperor of Heaven!
A year ago, when Xia Chen produced [Jiameng Guanshou Demon Rite Green], he resonated with the imprint of Chinese civilization and was directly pulled here.
This is the Heavenly Court in Chinese mythology, the supreme center of power in the Three Realms, everything is very similar to his impression, but except for this Lingxiao Treasure Palace, which is still intact, the rest are all ruins.
This may be because the Chinese civilization has long been annihilated, and now there is still a heavenly court, all relying on its once powerful strength.
However, there is not only the heavenly court here, but also the mortal dust and the underworld, and the phantoms standing on the treasure hall and in the Three Realms are the ghosts, saints and gods in mythology!
Now, there are only a few of these phantoms that have been transformed into real by the void, and they are all immortals who have been successfully made into cards by Xia Chen.
It's hard to imagine what kind of grand scene it would be if the Three Realms could be filled!
At the same time, after these phantoms are condensed, the civilization imprint will also give Xia Chen feedback and enhance his spiritual power.
This can be said to be an excellent virtuous circle, and it is also the reason why Xia Chen is about to break through to a senior card master in just one year.
When this card is successfully made, your mental power will be able to break through to the advanced level, and your actions at night will be smoother.
Without further ado, start making cards......
Xia Chen on the dragon chair lowered his head slightly, his gaze pierced through the immortal mist glass, crossed the mortal dust, and shot straight towards the netherworld.
The next moment, he slowly got up, stepped out, and his figure disappeared into the main hall in an instant......
He came to the underworld, walked past the Yellow Spring, and then saw a broken bluestone bridge standing quietly, and bluestone fragments lying in the dry riverbed.
This is it, this is the scene he wants to paint this time, the place where the souls of the dead in Chinese mythology must pass after death.
He observed for a moment, smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a blank card the size of a door panel appeared in the center of the broken bridge......
