The Heaven-Reaching Spirit Talisman is unaffected by the world, able to connect with all things no matter where it is.
When he first obtained the talisman, he used it frequently and was often pleasantly surprised by its results.
As time passed, he naturally connected with trees and flowers, like quenching a thirst, like breathing.
With animals, however, he tried to use it less, as their emotions could impact him and create disturbances.
Too many disturbances affected his mental state, thereby slowing his cultivation.
As for lifeless and soulless objects, he naturally wouldn't use the Spirit Summoning Talisman on them.
He never used the Spirit Summoning Talisman on the Golden Sword either, simply refining it constantly, feeling its slowly growing spirituality.
He thought it over and shook his head, saying, "It's not the right time yet."
What she meant wasn't mastery but embrace, applicable to the Emperor's Sword, which was full of spirituality.
