The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 529

Chapter 529: Chapter 525: Heavy Responsibility Chapter 529: Chapter 525: Heavy Responsibility “We have considered the two questions raised by you, Friend Shen. I have here five Yinling talismans. If you wear them, they can fully conceal your breath as human cultivators and transform it into that of ghosts. Your appearance will also turn into that of a ghost, and even the ghosts at the Nascent Soul and even Mahayana stages will not be able to discover it.” Yellow Wood Senior took out five black talismans and waved them in the air.

The five talismans transformed into five streams of black light and fell in front of each of them.

The talisman was about the size of a palm, with several black lines inscribed on it. It didn't look complicated, but there was a peculiar rune in the center of the talisman, shaped like a lotus, which looked exceptionally mysterious.

Shen Luo took the talisman and looked at Yellow Wood Senior before injecting his Mana into it.

A flash of black light passed over the Yinling talisman, and astonishingly, it melded into his body and disappeared.

Shen Luo shivered, feeling a cold spiritual power merging into his body, blending with his Mana, which was initially calm and right. It became cold as well.

Black lines appeared all over his body, and then, streams of black Qi oozed out of him, completely engulfing his figure soon after.

From the outside, he had turned into a ghost-like creature.

At the same time, the other people also activated their Yinling talisman and transformed into ghost-like creatures similar to Shen Luo.

“This Yinling talisman is indeed miraculous.” Shen Luo murmured in astonishment.

Using his divine sense to probe, he simply could not detect the physical bodies of the others under their Yin Qi. No matter how he sensed them, they seemed to have completely turned into ghosts. The same would be true for others sensing him.

“This Yinling talisman is indeed mysterious. With this talisman, we indeed don't need to worry about our identity being exposed. But what about the location of the core array? Have you, Yellow Wood Senior, already found it?” asked Dan Yangzi.

“The Refining Body Altar has been trying to infiltrate the Great Tang Dynasty Government all these years, and we have naturally not been idle. We have also placed a piece on the board within the Refining Body Altar, who will guide you to the core array when you infiltrate.” Yellow Wood Senior slowly stated.

Having heard this, the five of them realized that for this mission, the Great Tang Dynasty Government truly had made very comprehensive preparations.

Still, everyone's faces harbored some hesitation. If everything went according to plan, the probability of success was indeed not small, but it did not mean the danger had diminished much.

“This mission is extremely dangerous, Yellow Wood and I called you all here without intending to force you to accept it. Think it over and make a decision. However, to prevent any leaks of information, anyone who does not accept this mission must remain here until the end of this great battle.” Cheng Yaojin surveyed everyone and said thusly.

On hearing this, Shen Luo and the others were indecisive for a while and fell into deep thought.

“Duke, Yellow Wood Senior, why did you choose us, the Soul Condensing cultivators for this, if you have already prepared everything? Wouldn't sending several Nascent Soul cultivators make the chances of success much higher?” asked Ge Tianqing.

Shen Luo, who had wanted to ask the same question for a long time, looked up at this.

“If we could send Nascent Soul cultivators, the Duke and I naturally would not bother you. Although the concealment effect of the Yinling talisman is extraordinary, it can only hide those at Soul Condensing stage or below. It doesn't work on Nascent Soul cultivators.” Yellow Wood Senior said.

Everyone showed a look of enlightenment on hearing these words, and the room fell into silence once again.

“Master, Yellow Wood Senior.” Suddenly, in the midst of all the silence, a voice called out.

Everyone turned to look. It was Lu Huaming who had stepped forward and said seriously, “I am willing to go!”

Cheng Yaojin looked deeply at Lu Huaming, nodded, and smiled, “Good, all the years of my teaching you have not been in vain.”

“For the sake of freeing the people of Chang'an City from the furnace of war sooner, I am also willing to undertake this journey.” Shen Luo stepped forward and saluted.

“Thank you, Shen my friend, for your generous heart!” Cheng Yaojin expressed his appreciation.

With Lu Huaming and Shen Luo taking the lead, the other three seemed to suddenly see the light and quickly agreed.

“Good! Friends, your concern for the country and the people shows such nobleness, it is admirable. The Great Tang Dynasty Government will not let you go in vain either. Here are some treasures that I bestow upon you to boost your morale.” Cheng Yaojin said and waved his hand.

Five white talismans flew out of his hand and fell respectively in front of the men.

Shen Luo instinctively caught one. The talisman had a rune similar to a pocket.

He knew this was a storage talisman, which used the power of the talisman to temporarily form a space similar to a storage magical tool.

However, this storage talisman could only be used once, and after using it, the talisman would become scrap. Its effect was far inferior to a storage magical tool. The only advantage was that making one was relatively easier.

Shen Luo's Divine Sense entered the space inside the talisman, where a dark green round shield was placed. The shield looked very strong. There was even a lifelike Relief Carving of a Xuan Gui (A type of Black Tortoise in Chinese legends).

Next to the green round shield, there was a piece of white paper with a few paragraphs on it.

He scanned the information on the white paper using his Divine Sense, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

The information written on the white paper was about the introduction of this dark green round shield. This shield named “Ink Armor Shield” was a top-grade magical artifact refined from the shell of a thousand-year-old turtle with the bloodline of Xuan Gui and contained twelve prohibitions.

In terms of defensive capabilities, this Ink Armor Shield greatly surpassed the golden Immortal Armor.

“It seems that the Great Tang Dynasty Government had already investigated my situation. Knowing that my Golden Armor Immortality had shattered recently, they bestowed me this Ink Armor Shield.” Shen Luo thought to himself.

The others too examined the storage talismans in their hands. Excitement appeared on their face. Apparently, what the Great Tang Dynasty Government had bestowed them was what they had long yearned for.

“Master, what do we need to do next? Do we wait here for the right time?” asked Lu Huaming.

“Yellow Wood Daoist friend, we will rely on you now.” Cheng Yaojin said, turning towards Yellow Wood Senior.

Yellow Wood Senior nodded and brought down his walking stick, and a thread of yellow light surged out from it, spreading out on the ground, and forming a yellow array of about a Zhang (3.3 meters) in size.

Shen Luo looked at the yellow array, and suddenly felt familiar. After pondering for a moment, he recollected.

The array beneath Yellow Wood Senior was somewhat similar to the supplementary array for the Yimu Xuandun (a type of escape magic) he had set up in Longevity Village in his dream state.

“You guys come here and stand in the array.” Yellow Wood Senior said to the five men.

Upon hearing these words, they walked over one by one and stood around Yellow Wood Senior.

Yellow Wood Senior struck the ground with his walking stick once more, and countless yellow shadows suddenly appeared in front of the five men. They changed swiftly, making their eyes dizzy.

The blinking yellow shadows didn't last too long. After several breaths, there was a flash in front of their eyes, and the next moment, they appeared in a somewhat dark stone chamber.

Shen Luo swept a glance at his surroundings and found that there was a big door in front of the stone chamber. The door was tightly closed, and mana was faintly flowing above it, making it quite conspicuous.
