Tong Huan, also known as the Tian Yan Yin Ring, is a top-grade Buddhist treasure. When I unexpectedly found it in the warehouse, I was overjoyed. As a sound-type treasure, it's hard to come by, and this Tian Yan Yin Ring is made from a mixture of heavenly copper ore and red gold sand, refined to produce a clear and crisp sound that can dispel illusions. What's even more precious is that the ring's mantra pattern is calm and steady, without being overly excited, yet it has a solemn and majestic flavor.
After being tempered by the intense and fierce power of fire for several days, a flowing flame now surrounds his body. His voice has transformed from clear to robust, with an added hint of boldness and majesty. What's rare is that this boldness is like sunlight - warm but not violent. His rank has also risen from third-grade to fourth-grade, with a significant increase in his power and prestige.
From the moment he saw Tianyuan Sound Ring, Zuo Mo decided to take it in. It was as if it were tailor-made for "Heavenly Cycle Moon Array". Although Tianyuan Sound Ring didn't have the clever control of Xiao Tower, because it itself was a sound-type treasure, it fit perfectly with "Heavenly Cycle Moon Array", serving as the array's core.
When Zuo Mo stepped onto the barren wooden bridge, he had already made up his mind.
There are enough people for him to mobilize, enough materials for him to allocate, and enough time for him to arrange.
He decided to lay out a unprecedented "Tian Huan Yue Ming Formation"!
The 216 Child Array: Heavenly Ring Moon Whistle Array!
Three sets of 72 arrays of the "Tian Huan Yue Ming Formation" are arranged in a pin shape, distributed on the island, jointly forming this unprecedented Tian Huan Yue Ming Formation. It is so large that it needs an artifact to serve as the formation's core.
Such a large-scale "Tian Huan Yue Ming Zhen" had never been set up by Zuo Mo before, and he didn't have any idea how powerful the refined Tian Huan sound ring would be. However, after staying in the Sword Intent Array for half a year, Zuo Mo's understanding of the formation was far beyond what it used to be. Although he didn't have much confidence in his heart, he still proceeded with a clear mind and without any panic.
When he saw all the materials floating up, his heart suddenly calmed down!
The Tenmaion Ring and the Great Array have completed their fusion!
Ping!
In the air, a ring of sound with a reddish glow flashed around his body, filling the air with a strong and fierce aura. It was as if a stern-looking Buddha had appeared, exuding an intimidating presence without even being angry.
Nan Mingzi's eyes widened in disbelief, the sword intent he swung out with all his might was fragile like a bubble, and with a "poof" sound, it shattered and dispersed into nothingness.
An intangible Sanskrit sound swept past him, and he stiffened all over. The spiritual energy that had been circulating restlessly inside his body came to a sudden halt.
Nan Mingzi couldn't help but reveal a look of shock and horror, the power of the Fu array far exceeded his imagination.
No! I've been had!
In shock, he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and a sweet and fishy smell suddenly surged into his throat. His face showed an eerie red color, and the spiritual energy that had been stagnant throughout his body immediately flowed unimpeded. He felt the spiritual energy coursing through his body, more abundant than ever before.
But he has already been frightened out of his wits, and there is only one thought in his mind: escape!
A date-like, spindle-shaped magic treasure appeared in his hand, and he hastily poured spiritual power into it.
A sudden sense of extreme danger enveloped his mind.
No good!
A thought had barely flashed through his mind when he heard a soft "plop".
His chest suddenly exploded without warning, he lowered his head and saw a fist-sized blood hole in front of his chest, everything went black before his eyes.
Celestial Ring Moon Whistle Formation: Micro Void Arrow!
Witnessing the entire battle, watching Nan Mingzi's corpse fall like a sandbag, the disciples of Wu Kong Sword Sect below all showed shocked and fearful expressions. They had heard rumors about Zuo Mo before, but none of them could compare to the shock of witnessing Zuo Mo kill a Jindan cultivator with such ease.
In the sky, a lean figure stands silently with eyes closed, profound and unfathomable.
After a while, Zuo Mo's eyes opened, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"Micro Void Arrow" is not a technique listed on the Jade Slate of "Tian Huan Yue Ming Zhen", but rather a technique he has come to realize through his own understanding of the Sword Intent Great Array. In the Sword Intent Great Array, he has witnessed countless times how numerous tiny sword intents gather to form an even more powerful sword intent. "Micro Void Arrow" is precisely making "Tian Huan Yue Ming Zhen" produce a large number of extremely fine and delicate ring sounds, these tiny ring sounds do not attract attention, but when they gather together, the power is quite astonishing.
When the enemy caught in the middle of the formation senses danger, the "Micro Void Arrow" has already taken shape!
Just now, Nan Mingzi wanted to escape, and Zuomo accidentally used this immature spell, which had a significant effect. After the battle was over, he quietly sensed what he had gained in that instant.
Looking at Nan Mingzi's corpse, Zuo Mo didn't feel a shred of joy in his heart.
The world has gone mad!
Under the destroyed nest, can there be any unbroken eggs? He himself is only a humble builder and repairer, but his heart's worries have increased several fold.
Zuo Mo slowly descended, the sound of the heavenly music fading away into nothingness. Along with it, all the materials also sank into the ground. If not for the corpse on the ground, there would be no signs of a fierce battle having taken place on the barren island.
"Everyone go rest, starting tomorrow, we can begin searching for the spiritual vein." Zuo Mo said to the other disciples.
"Yes!" The other disciples nodded in unison, obeying the command. Zuo Mo's display of power had made them truly convinced and also filled with reverence.
Unfortunately, Xiao Hei was asleep, otherwise finding the spiritual vein would have been easy. However, these cultivators all had their own methods. Like one of them who slightly understood the art of finding veins, and another who raised a Blue Star Mouse that could find spiritual veins. As fellow disciples, they didn't hide anything from each other on the vast Huangmu Island, so they began to work together in unison to search for it.
"The Heavenly Ring Moon Whistle Array" is almost complete, and Zuo Mo's heart can finally be at ease. With a large array in place, the disciples of the Cultivation Period are not afraid of him, let alone those in the Golden Dan Period, no matter what magical artifacts they possess, they are not his match.
But even a master of Golden Elixir would look down on this small amount of wealth.
By the lake of magma, Mo Na took out things from Nan Ming Zi's body. In front of him was a big pile of debris, but the most striking were a date pit and a withered vine.
On the jujube kernel was carved a small boat, with pavilions and balustrades, wind sails and mast, extremely delicate. Suddenly he remembered that Nan Mingzi had taken out this jujube kernel last time, obviously wanting to escape. He immediately became very interested, who wouldn't like an escape tool for survival?
He involuntarily infused spiritual energy into his body.
Jujube kernel suddenly transmitted a strong suction force, and the spiritual power in his body was like an out-of-control wild horse, rushing frantically inside!
In the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy in his body was completely depleted.
Zuo Mo jumped in fright and hastily stopped forcing the spiritual energy into it. This date kernel was a bit unusual! He carefully examined the date kernel with a lingering fear, but after absorbing the spiritual energy, there wasn't any change at all.
He somewhat understood why Nan Mingzi didn't bring out the jujube boat at first; it required too much spiritual energy.
Zuo Mo couldn't help but bitterly smile in his heart, spiritual energy was his greatest weakness, yet the jujube wood boat required a large amount of spiritual energy. After messing around for half a day, he ended up with a treasure that he currently couldn't use.
He shifted his gaze to the withered wisteria, and his recently lost mood quickly recovered. The joyful color in his eyes grew thicker and thicker, until finally, he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh heartily.
Made it!
The withered wisteria was unremarkable, dull and lackluster, looking just like the withered branches that could be seen everywhere. When it was found in Nan Mingzi's ring, it was placed together with a pile of miscellaneous items, and Nan Mingzi did not discover its value.
Few people know of this vine. Its name is quite unique, called "Yā Wàn". But it's a rather frightening creature, mature Yā Wàn will bloom extremely beautiful and delicate flowers, with an enticing sweet fragrance, it's a born master of illusion. It can change into different shapes, it's naturally proficient in the art of illusion, prey that gets close to it is like being trapped in an illusionary formation, unable to escape.
Once the prey enters its capture range, it will hypnotize the opponent while quietly approaching. It is not a simple plant, but is composed of countless extremely small insects called "teeth".
Yamata is a rather eerie and dangerous spirit vine. This unremarkable withered vine is actually Yamata, and it's even a four-star Yamata.
Four treasures of the study!
I don't know who is so powerful, they can even cut down a fourth-grade tooth vine. The danger level of a fourth-grade tooth vine is absolutely no less than that of a high-level cultivator in the condensation period, and it's extremely difficult to hunt. Moreover, the hunter's technique is quite professional, and hunting for tooth vines requires using a jade knife to keep the intact vine shape. Otherwise, the tooth vine will shatter and turn into flying smoke.
This small piece of four-product tooth vine in front of you can be sold for a sky-high price if it is put in the Treasure Pavilion.
But Zuo Mo would absolutely never sell it.
It's useful! He wants to refine his sword array!
Not a massive sword array like the Sword Intent Great Array, but a set of portable and convenient sword arrays. Or rather, he decided to refine a flying sword that could deploy a sword array!
When trapped in Jianyi's formation, Zuo Mo had this idea. This idea appeared for the first time and was firmly nailed to his mind, unable to shake it off!
The infighting among the Southern Ming princes also reminded him that in a chaotic world, preserving one's life was paramount. Although he had the "Tian Huan Yue Ming Formation" on Huangmu Island, which made him feel at ease, he couldn't stay there forever. Without some self-defense capabilities, he would be like a fat sheep, easily devoured by others without even leaving any leftovers.
He had refined a sword embryo before and wasn't inexperienced. Moreover, in the Sword Intent Grand Array, this idea was constantly being perfected in his mind.
The five sword intents in the Great Sword Array, after countless personal experiences over the past half year, he had gained a lot of insight. Although it was far from the purity of his masters, imitating them to a similar extent was not a problem.
Five Sword Intentions, Second Master's Ice Dragon, Gatekeeper's Mountain, Third Master's Snow Fox, Master's Wisteria, Five Tombs Wanderer's Eight Trigrams.
He even thought of changing the sword intent, from the Eight Trigrams Sword Intent of Wuling Sanren to his own Lishui Sword Intent. Although the grade of Lishui Sword Intent was far inferior to that of the Eight Trigrams Sword Intent, he had a deeper understanding of it and controlled it more freely.
However good his ideas may be, he lacks materials.
Dripping Water Sword can be re-refined to barely make do, using it to separate the Water Sword's intent. The other four swords, however, left Zuo Mo in a difficult situation. Mountain Sword Intent requires matching with earth-element flying swords, Ice Dragon Sword Intent requires icy cold materials, Snow Fox Sword Intent requires spiritual fox fangs and claws, and Vine Sword Intent naturally requires spiritual vines.
The four materials needed were searched by Zuo Mo in the warehouse inside the gate, but he couldn't find a single one that satisfied him, so he had to give up.
Unexpectedly, a four-product tooth vine was found on Nan Mingzi's body. How could he not be overjoyed?
