The Fu Tian Star Domain is one of the Hundred Domains and Thousand Provinces. Unlike the Moluo Star Domain, which is not within the Hundred Domains, during the Ancient Desolate War, the Moluo Star Domain was still just a wild land.
The Futian Star Domain is one of the hundred domains preserved after the Ancient War, with a long history and profound heritage.
The most famous in the Futian Star Domain is the Fu Tianshi. In this domain, nearly half of the cultivators learn the art of inscriptions and create talismans.
Like alchemists, Fu Celestial Masters are wealthy and noble positions, relying entirely on skill to make a living. Once mastered, one can enjoy great wealth and honor for life.
Although the Forging Master also forges weapons and armor and is a prestigious profession, in terms of cost and profit ratio, it cannot compare to the Talisman Masters or Alchemists.
As long as alchemists and rune masters have good skills, they can truly make huge profits because the cost is really low and the profit margin is huge.
The name of the Rune Heaven Star Domain comes from the Talisman Master. Legend has it that during the Ancient War, the flames of war stretched across the heavens and ten lands, and the Talisman Heaven Masters of the Talisman Heaven Star Domain risked their lives to protect it.
You have to understand, in that great war, the human race's inheritance was almost never preserved. The survival of the Fu Tian Star Domain was entirely thanks to the bloody struggles of the Fu Tianshi.
Therefore, in the Futian Star Domain, more than half of the people understand the simple making and inscription of talismans, because this is the birthplace of talismans. If you don't understand at all, people will laugh at you.
However, not everyone is qualified to learn true rune techniques, which value talent above all else.
To cultivate talisman techniques, one needs extraordinary spiritual power, a force that lies between soul power and spiritual power.
Outside, this power is not developed independently, because aside from inscribed runes, it is almost useless.
But for rune masters, this power is crucial. Practitioners must completely separate spiritual power from soul power and spiritual power, cultivating separately.
Only with enough spiritual power can powerful runes be carved. If spiritual power is mixed with soul power and spiritual power, the runes carved will have extremely low purity and cannot be used.
Therefore, rune masters value spiritual power talent the most. If spiritual power is not pure or robust enough, they basically lose touch with rune techniques, which cannot be compensated by effort or effort.
In the Talisman Heaven Star Domain, there are four titles for talisman cultivators: one is 'Talisman Disciple,' meaning a newly initiated rune practitioner.
Don't underestimate this Talisman Disciple—just the threshold alone is one in a million. A Talisman Disciple is someone who can cultivate and enhance spiritual power independently, and can complete relatively simple rune carving and inscriptions on weapons.
These runes possess a certain amount of power, but they are not very strong. They can only be used by ordinary cultivators, but their power is not high and relatively inexpensive, so many ordinary cultivators buy such talismans.
A level above a talisman apprentice is a rune master. Bringing a master with you makes a difference.
Talisman disciples are one in ten thousand, while rune masters are one in a hundred thousand. The spiritual power of a talisman apprentice needs to be at least seventy percent pure.
In other words, seventy percent of their spiritual power is pure, allowing about thirty percent to be mixed with spiritual and soul power.
However, rune masters must have a spiritual power purity of ninety percent, and the remaining ten percent must be half soul power and half spiritual power—no more, no less, just right. Otherwise, they can't complete some inscriptions or pass the assessment.
Runes drawn by inscription masters are basically mainstream in the market. Because of their high quality, the price is a bit higher, but if conditions allow, people still choose this type of rune.
Above Rune Masters is the Rune Master, but Rune Masters are even more precious. Out of a hundred thousand rune masters, not even one rune master can emerge.
Rune Masters are almost at the top of the rune world. Their spiritual power must be extremely pure, without any impurities, and must surpass their own spiritual and soul powers, making spiritual power dominant.
Even in the Futian Star Domain, when a Rune Master walks there, they are surrounded by crowds and respected by all, because becoming a Rune Master is extremely difficult.
Rune masters can inscribe almost every rune known to people, whether it's runes from weapons, formations, or buildings, all of which can be engraved in seal script.
However, the runes carved by rune masters are not affordable for ordinary people. Besides rarity makes them valuable, the runes they carve are truly astonishing and well worth their price.
Above the Rune Masters is the Talisman Celestial Master. In the Ancient Era, there was a Talisman Celestial Master's assessment, but it was no longer held later.
Because the divine artifact used for the assessment was destroyed in the Ancient War, and in that battle, most of the Talisman Masters perished, and some inheritances were severed.
Although many ancient texts have been passed down, because they are cut off from ancient times, many talismans are now incomprehensible—a huge loss for humanity.
Therefore, the standards for Fu Tianshi have changed now. In today's Fu Tian Star Domain, to become a Fu Tianshi, one must meet two criteria: one is to decipher an ancient talisman, and the other is to create a talisman that has never existed before.
For all rune masters, this is as difficult as reaching the sky. You have to understand, what can be deciphered has long been deciphered; what predecessors couldn't decipher are runes that can't even be understood.
And innovating a talisman that has never existed before is equally difficult. To abandon one's own knowledge and forge a new path is no different from creating one's own cultivation method.
Moreover, to become a Fu Tianshi, two difficult challenges must be overcome. Therefore, there are only a handful of Fu Tianshi still alive in the entire Futian Star Domain.
And these people were all giants in the Futian Star Domain—terrifying beings whose stomp could make the entire domain tremble.
However, within the Rune Heaven Star Domain, there is one place known as the sacred land of the domain—the Lingwen Pavilion, the only sect whose legacy has not been broken through the Ancient Desolate War.
After the Great War of the Ancient Desolate Era, the Lingwen Pavilion produced hundreds of Talisman Celestial Masters, the most among all the major sects in the Talisman Heaven Star Domain.
However, in recent times, some talents have declined in the Lingwen Pavilion, and it has been a long time since a Fu Tianshi has emerged. Among the five contemporary Fu Tianshi in the Futian Star Domain, none of the Lingwen Pavilion members have been found.
Nevertheless, even so, the Lingwen Pavilion remains the most famous presence in the Futian Star Domain, a place countless talisman cultivators fight tooth and nail to get in.
