Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2089 True Thunder Casting Talisman
"General, I wonder what the results of the last battle were?"

The shadow asked with a bow.

Min Shan laughed heartily, looking very pleased with himself. "The reward you asked for has been prepared by our clan and we are planning to send it to the place you specified. You can send someone to pick it up in ten days."

The black shadow also smiled, "Of course I trust the general."

After several exchanges, both sides kept their promises. Minshan achieved victory and Heiying gained benefits. It was a win-win situation for both sides and their relationship became closer.

"Fellow Daoist, you have come here in person this time, so you must have important news, right?" Min Shan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"General, are you ready for the Qingling Qi?" the black shadow asked meaningfully.

Minshan couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Black Shadow is undoubtedly greedy, otherwise he would not have betrayed, but he also knows his limits. The reward he asks for each time is commensurate with the value of the intelligence and he never goes beyond the limit.

The fact that he dared to ask for the Qingling Qi showed that he had enough confidence in this intelligence.

"There is a green spirit in my tent right now!"

Min Shan looked solemn, "As long as your information is verified to be true, I will offer you the Qingling Qi with both hands. If you can break through the North Sea, I can give you more Qingling Qi!"

"The general is really straightforward!"

The black shadow laughed loudly, with a hint of urgency in his voice. "This news is related to Qingyang Temple. Whether it is important or not, I believe there is no need for me to say more..."

Minshan was unmoved, "I'd like to hear more about it!"

"Qingyang Temple wants to rebuild its mountain gate. I believe the general should know about this," said the black shadow.

Minshan nodded. They had other channels to obtain intelligence from those alien races. Soon after the three races discussed it together, they already knew about this matter.

However, he didn't think there was any opportunity to exploit here.

Qingyang Temple has a very high reputation among those foreign races and is a top sect. It is common for them to intend to open a mountain gate to enhance their prestige. It is said that Qingyang Temple's move has shaken the hearts of those foreign races, but its impact will not be immediately apparent.

"General, you only know one side of the story. The new mountain gate of Qingyang Monastery and the mountain protection formation are extraordinary..."

The black shadow spoke in a mysterious tone as he revealed the secrets of the Qingyang Guardian Mountain Array.

After hearing this, Min Shan's eyes flickered slightly. "This is such a secret, outside of Qingyang Temple, I'm afraid not many people know about it. How did you find out, and why are you so sure?"

The shadow said calmly, "General, there is no need to ask about these matters. You can just send someone to investigate. However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you miss the chance, General, you will regret it!"

"Daoyou said that Qingyang Temple has been closed. How can we verify this?"

Minshan frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

This news is indeed of some value, but it is far from what he expected. Qingyang Temple is only one of the top sects. Even if the masters of Qingyang Temple are tied up, the strength of other sects cannot be underestimated, and they can still defend the North Sea.

The shadow shook his head and said, "It's not that we should ask the general to investigate Qingyang Temple. This would only alert the enemy. The general might as well keep an eye on some forces and monks who are on good terms with Qingyang Temple. The mountain protection formation is so complicated that it is impossible for Qingyang Temple to complete it alone. It is necessary to find helpers. The ancestral temple of Qingyang Temple is located in Beichen Territory of Beihai. Most of the forces on good terms with them are also from Beihai. Its most important ally is Xuantian Palace. By then, all the masters of Xuantian Palace and Liuli Fairy will probably be invited to Zhongzhou, together with other friendly allies of Qingyang Temple. Once so many masters leave, Beihai will be empty. Isn't this an opportunity for the general?"

After hearing this, Minshan was really tempted. If the situation developed as the black shadow said, it would indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The premise is that Black Shadow's intelligence is accurate.

He thought so in his heart, but his expression was hesitant. "Even if this is true, with the teleportation formation, they can return quickly. Our time is actually very short, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve good results..."

The black shadow suddenly laughed wildly, making no effort to hide his mockery of Minshan, "General, do you want to conquer Beihai in one fell swoop? This is not the same as it was back then!"

He paused and continued, "Once Qingyang Temple begins to form an array, it is not possible to stop immediately if it wants to, and the Zhongzhou forces will definitely choose to wait and see at first. There is actually more time than imagined. General, don't be too eager for quick success. You might as well take every step carefully and take this opportunity to break through the carefully arranged defense line of Beihai, or even occupy a certain area, and then gradually conquer Beihai. Of course, if the general can drive straight into the Crescent Moon Realm, destroy the ancient teleportation array, cut off Beihai and Zhongzhou, and make Beihai an isolated island, there may be a chance!"

These are two strategies that both sound somewhat feasible.

Minshan hesitated.

The shadow said, "There is still plenty of time. General, please go back and weigh the situation carefully before making a decision. I will pay close attention to the movements of Qingyang Temple and its allies. After the matter is accomplished, I hope that the general will not break his promise! However, once the general makes a decision, remember to make adequate preparations."

It was normal for him to act anxious when it came to the Qing Ling Qi.

After saying this, the black shadow did not wait for Minshan to respond, and his figure gradually faded.

Minshan came back to his senses and bowed to see him off, "Fellow Daoist, take care."

In the handsome tent.

Minshan Benzun sat at the desk, lost in thought.

What the incarnation saw and heard was as if the original body had experienced it personally. He had a lot to consider about this matter.

There was no way they would bet their money on just one piece of intelligence.

Can the black shadow be trusted? Are those aliens trying to lure them into the trap by playing the long game?

However, they are not without verification methods.

Minshan wondered how he could get closer to Qingyang Temple or get circumstantial evidence from other places.

If we want to attack Beihai, we need to consider more things. Beihai’s military strength is not sufficient. If we dispatch a large army from Zhongzhou, we will lose the deterrent effect and Zhongzhou may take the opportunity to cause trouble.

The Demon Sea and the Canglang Sea, as they were called by the alien races, are now the places where the Changyou army is stationed. On the one hand, they are used to guard against any intentions of the alien races towards this filthy land, and on the other hand, they allow several armies to take turns to rest.

Once they decide to take action, they must dispatch a large army from there to here, but they must take a roundabout way and not be detected by the alien spies. The shadow is right, they must prepare in advance.

In the quiet hall, Minshan sat alone, motionless for a long time.

……

Qingyang Temple.

forbidden.

There were two people sitting cross-legged in the valley, they were Qin Sang and Shen Chen.

Shen Chen couldn't help in casting the Thunder Altar and could only watch, but he looked even more tired than Qin Sang.

At this moment, a majestic altar appeared out of nowhere in front of Qin Sang.

Taoist altars are usually divided into three levels: the upper altar is round, the middle altar is octagonal, and the lower altar is square. Qin Sang is about to complete the lower two levels.

Nearly half of the spiritual objects floating in the air were gone. Suddenly, a ball of spiritual light was captured by Qin Sang's palm. He lit a fire in his palm, wrapped the treasure in the spiritual light, and began to refine it. The speed of refinement was very fast. In just a few minutes, a golden glow appeared in the flame, and a ball of golden liquid slowly flowed out.

Shen Chen stared at Qin Sang's palm, afraid of missing any details.

Most of the master's actions were beyond his understanding, but he forced himself to memorize them, as they would be a valuable asset in the future.

The consumption of mental energy caused by this action is terrifying, and the master cannot wait for him to digest it slowly. Shen Chen is holding on desperately. Once this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to get it again.

The flowing gold fell into the altar, as if a layer of gold foil was coated on the surface of the altar. Spiritual light flashed frequently in the flowing gold, and runes that Shen Chen had never seen before flashed one after another, making him dizzy.

Gradually, the liquid gold seeped into the interior of the altar, and finally the altar suddenly shook and the earth roared.

The vibration could be felt inside and outside Qingyang Temple.

Over the years, the earthquake has occurred more than once. The disciples of Qingyang Temple have become accustomed to it and thought it was caused by the construction of the mountain protection formation.

As the vibration occurred, the altar burst into dazzling golden light, which shot straight into the sky. Qin Sang pressed his palm back to suppress the golden light. When the golden light gradually dissipated, a complete double-layer altar appeared in front of them.

Looking at the altar, Qin Sang nodded with satisfaction. This altar was also a thunder altar like the one in Yuedu Bay, but they were not exactly the same.

Qin Sang could not fully comprehend the spiritual materials used by the previous owner of the Thunder Altar, and some of them were beyond his reach. However, he held the seal of the Five Thunder Envoys, which contained many Taoist Thunder Department inheritances, the construction methods of various altars, and the characteristics of various spiritual objects and whether they could be used universally.

Qin Sang modified it according to his own understanding, and its power is no less powerful. The foundation of the altar has been laid, and the next step will be the most critical.

"Shen Chen."

Qin Sang called out.

"Disciple is here!" Shen Chen quickly stood up and responded with energy.

"You go out first," Qin Sang said.

Next, Shen Chen watched helplessly, and he had already reached his limit. It would be better to go out and help Li Yufu, who was in need of manpower outside.

"Disciple obey!"

Shen Chen bowed and left the valley.

Qin Sang waved his sleeves to seal the forbidden area, then slowly floated up, landed above the altar, and sat still.

His mind sank into the altar, and a thunder talisman appeared in his mind.

What kind of thunder symbol is engraved in the Thunder Altar has an impact on the power of the Thunder Altar.

The Taoist fourth-level thunder talisman corresponds to the fusion period, but the seal of the Five Thunder Envoys only records the third-level thunder talisman at the highest level. The only fourth-level thunder talisman that Qin Sang knows is the thunder sacrifice oath obtained in the thunder altar.

The higher the grade of the thunder talisman, the better it is. It cannot exceed one's own ability. But Qin Sang has put so much effort into it, so he naturally doesn't want to just engrave a third-grade thunder talisman and be done with it.

The third-level thunder talisman was blessed by the altar, and its power and influence increased greatly, but it was still not enough to intimidate a strong tribe like the Zhuyan tribe.

It would undoubtedly be very difficult for Qin Sang to engrave the fourth-level thunder talisman by himself.

In Yuedu Bay, Qin Sang had thoroughly comprehended the Thunder Sacrifice Oath with the help of the Thunder Altar. Even so, if he made the talisman by himself, even if he was in the late stage of Refining Void, the chance of success would be very low.

However, if all branch altars are built before the thunder talisman is engraved, you can send someone to preside over the branch altars, and then borrow some of the power of the branch altars to help him complete the talisman. At that time, the main altar and the thunder talisman will be completed at the same time.

In addition, whether the talisman can be made successfully is also closely related to the selected spiritual objects, talisman pens, talisman paper, ink, etc.

This is Qin Sang’s greatest confidence, because he has the Qingluan True Thunder!

Qin Sang still cannot control the Blue Luan Thunder, which is at least the power of the Fusion Stage, or even higher. Using the Blue Luan Thunder as the "ink", with its grade, it is more than enough to carry the power of the Thunder Sacrifice Oath.

The previous owner of the Thunder Altar might not have had such good conditions.

At the same time, this is also the biggest difficulty. The fourth-level thunder talisman and the Blue Luan True Thunder are both existences beyond his realm, requiring the most precise control and not allowing the slightest mistake. Otherwise, Qin Sang can only settle for the second best and choose the third-level thunder talisman.

Before that, Qin Sang still had to activate the altar base, cooperate with the Qingluan True Thunder, and comprehend it again to see what the chances of success were.

He sat cross-legged on the altar, a green light suddenly appeared behind him, his phoenix wings spread, and a lightning as thin as a hair floated towards his palm.

With his mind connected to the altar, Qin Sang activated the art of observing thunder in his palm. The thunder twisted and caused waves, but they were all blocked by the forbidden formation here.

……

Above Qingyang Temple, Luye has been hovering here since the new mountain gate was opened.

Si Lu pushed open the door of the cave and walked out slowly. She looked radiant and her internal injuries had healed.

He flashed to the edge of Luye, overlooking the earth. His spiritual sense swept across Qingyang Temple silently and paused in front of the forbidden area.

Seeing the drastically changed appearance of Qingyang Temple, Silu murmured: "It seems that I have been in seclusion for at least a few decades..."

He concentrated on consolidating his cultivation and forgot about time.

Qingyang Temple is changing with each passing day, but it is difficult for Silu to be surprised. He is focusing on the entire Storm World, and of course the most important person is Qin Sang.

Realizing that the forbidden area was blocked, Si Lu was considering whether to go and disturb them when she suddenly heard Qin Sang's voice.

"The Taoist friend has come out of retreat."

Si Lu's expression changed slightly, and she appeared outside the forbidden area.

The forbidden land opened a passage, Si Lu stepped into the forbidden land, and when she saw Qin Sang, she bowed solemnly, "Thank you for your protection, Brother Qin. I can now heal my wounds with peace of mind."

He couldn't help but look at the altar under Qin Sang, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had learned from the conversation between Qin Sang and Su Nu that Qin Sang was going to build an altar, but he was not clear about the whole picture.

Seeing it with his own eyes, Si Lu discovered that the altar had not yet been built, but it seemed to contain endless mysteries that he could not understand.

"Your Taoist foundation has been consolidated, which is cause for celebration," Qin Sang nodded with a smile.

Si Lu did not look complacent. "I have wasted too much time since my breakthrough. Compared with other Taoist friends of the same level, I still lack a lot, especially in magical powers, spells, and fighting methods."

"These must be done slowly and not in a hurry. I have something to ask for your help, do you have time?" Qin Sang asked.

Si Lu said without hesitation, "Please give me your orders, fellow Taoist!"

Qin Sang nodded: "This main altar under me is still one step away. We need to build branch altars first. The three most important branch altars are already being built, but I have some new ideas. I'm afraid those young people are not capable enough, so you may need to go there in person. When you urge the altar in the future, you must also sit in one of the branch altars in person!"

Si Lu had no objection, as he was curious about what kind of altar this was, so he agreed immediately.

"All the contents about the altar are recorded in this jade slip. Fellow Daoist, take it and have a look."

Qin Sang took out a jade slip, Si Lu reached out to take it, talked to Qin Sang for a while, and then said goodbye.

A few days later, Si Lu quietly left Qingyang Temple and went to visit the Four Saints Palace to check out the first core altar.
