Chapter 489 Nine Abyss Spirit Locking Talisman

The Nine Abyss Spirit-Locking Talisman! That's it.

【Nine Abyss Spirit-Locking Talisman (Legend/Talisman)】

Use: Seals a target's spiritual power, rendering them unable to cast spells for 30 seconds. This effect also applies to boss-level enemies.

Item Description: This talisman was created by immortals during the ancient wars to subdue overly powerful enemies. Whether mortal cultivators or demons, none could escape its binding effect. Its creation method has long been lost, and only a few talismans remain in the world.

This thing is a godsend for fighting bosses, especially magic-based bosses.

However, upon seeing Xiao Jie's choice, the others all tried to dissuade him.

Sword Immortal exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Feng, don't choose it! This thing is a consumable; it'll be gone in no time. It would be much better to choose a piece of equipment."

"No, we have no choice but to choose this," Xiao Jie said without wavering. "This is our last trump card to deal with True Immortal Hongchen."

Xiao Jie had his reasons for choosing this item. They were about to fight the True Man of the Mortal World, who was the last obstacle and stumbling block on the road to immortality. Xiao Jie was extremely cautious about this battle.

We must ensure success on the first try.

Once you eliminate worldly desires and ascend to immortality, you'll have everything you need. This is definitely not the time to be frugal.

Although Feng Buqi had predicted that his path to immortality would be fraught with peril, Xiao Jie now felt that Feng Buqi's prediction might not have been entirely accurate, given that he had even killed Wang Xie. Otherwise, why would Feng Buqi have sought refuge with Wang Xie? Didn't he foresee that Wang Xie would die?

It's clear that fortune telling isn't particularly accurate.

The ancient Qi cultivation technique clearly states that as long as you reach level 10, you can ascend to immortality. There's no reason why it shouldn't be possible.

Speaking of which, no one knows where Feng Buqi is now. After the great battle, there seems to be no information about anyone killing Feng Buqi...

Xiao Jie's thoughts were racing, but his teammates were still trying to persuade him.

Deidara said, "Brother Feng, if you ask me, you don't need to be so cautious. With our current lineup and configuration, what's a mere level 59 hermit master? We can take them all down."

"That's right, that's right. We'll just use the time-stop technique then. Since that Red Dust thing isn't a BOSS, it probably doesn't have much health. Maybe we can just kill it with a single time-stop technique."

Xiao Jie, however, was unusually insistent on this point: "No, it's better to be careful than to make a big mistake. Our main goal now is to defeat the mortal world and help me become an immortal. As long as I can become an immortal, with the strength of an immortal, what kind of equipment can't I get? I don't care about this mere piece of equipment."

If all goes well, I might even lead everyone to immortality someday. Then we won't need any equipment; we'll just go have fun in the heavens together.

Xiao Jie said this in a way that was half joking and half empty promises.

With things said to this point, everyone fell silent. Besides, it was just one piece of equipment, and it wasn't easy for everyone to divide it up. The talisman was a consumable item and would ultimately be used on the BOSS, so there was no need to worry about who would get the quest reward.

Xiao Jie said this to reassure everyone, even though they had fought side by side and even shared life and death.

But human nature is always complex and realistic.

Reality is not a novel; only novel protagonists can achieve the kind of feat of rallying an army with a single call to arms.

In reality, to lead a team well, you not only need to give the team members enough benefits, but also give them enough hope to maintain the team's cohesion.

Moreover, Xiao Jie was not exaggerating. If he could become an immortal, the Demon Refining Gourd could naturally be used by the next person. With his successful example, those who came after him would have a greater chance of success.

"I'll choose this one," Xiao Jie said to Master Xiaoyue.

"Heh, not bad taste. Are you perhaps trying to deal with some monstrous spirit master? You need such a powerful talisman?"

Xiao Jie didn't hide anything, "That's not it. I'm going to do a mission—by the way, Master, what's the situation in Canglin Prefecture now?"

"Oh dear, the situation is urgent."

"But the real person just said..."

"I did that to appease people's hearts," sighed Master Xiaoyue. "Those demonic masters are all powerful and numerous. The one I killed today was just an unknown nobody. It took me a lot of effort to barely win."

If those monstrous offspring were to unite, I wouldn't dare say we could win. I don't know what kind of bloody battle would ensue. Moreover, I have a feeling that there are probably even more terrifying enemies behind these monstrous offspring.

Now, the entire Canglin Prefecture has fallen, with only a few major towns still under my control, like a few small boats on a vast ocean, threatening to capsize at any moment. Thanks to the returning warriors who hunted down the demons, I finally have a chance to catch my breath. Now, I can only hope that the troops from other prefectures will arrive to provide reinforcements soon.”

Xiao Jie suddenly asked, "If a celestial being were to intervene, could the tide be turned?"

Master Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "Hmph, of course you can, but those heartless bastards have long since disappeared. What immortal can we rely on now?" Master Xiaoyue said through gritted teeth, clearly recalling some unpleasant past events.

Although the words were directed at immortals, Xiao Jie felt that they might have another meaning behind them.

At this point, Master Xiaoyue suddenly seemed to be thinking, "The task you mentioned earlier, could it be related to immortals?"

"That's right, this time I'm going to seek immortality. Do you have any guidance, Master?"

Even though Feng Buqi's divination said that an immortal was pointing the way, so what? Although Xiaoyue Zhenren is not an immortal, he is still a highly skilled hermit, second only to an immortal. Moreover, he knows an immortal, so he might be able to give some reliable advice.

The Immortal Xiaoyue sighed, “The path to immortality is so difficult. In the past, countless extraordinary people have gone down this elusive path to immortality and never returned. Occasionally, one or two people succeed, but after becoming immortals, they mostly abandon their past worldly affairs, claiming to be transcendent and no longer bound by past relationships.”

If you truly become an immortal, you might still not care about the dangers of the human world.

"Hidden Moon Follows the Wind, you too are a hero of your time, possessing extraordinary talent. If things don't go well, don't be too persistent. Why not come to my side and join me in vanquishing demons and monsters? Even without the power of immortals, we may still be able to accomplish a great feat to save the world."

Xiao Jie solemnly replied, "Rest assured, Master, I will surely succeed. When I have succeeded, I will definitely return to help you eliminate the demon."

After leaving the treasure vault, Xiao Jie called everyone over.

"Everyone, now that everything is ready and your levels and professions are nearing completion, it is time to truly seek the path to immortality."

Tomorrow we'll go fight the Mortal Master. If we defeat him, I can become an immortal, and our path to immortality will finally have a clear direction.

Everyone became excited upon hearing this.

It even felt unbelievable.

Becoming an immortal? That's something else!

What exactly is a so-called immortal?

Judging from the various details of this game, it must be incredibly powerful, a force that completely overwhelms ordinary people.

If Xiao Jie can become an immortal, wouldn't everyone be able to become an immortal if they just follow this path?

With this in mind, everyone was eager to try and full of anticipation.

"Everyone, go back and get ready. Prepare all the props and supplies. Don't be stingy with money. Let's go all out to complete this battle. We'll meet in Luoyang City at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll call Long Xing Tianxia later and gather some more people, just in case."

Bai Ze said, "There's no need to call for outside help, Brother Feng. With our strength and your Nine Abyss Locking Spirit Talisman, we have a 99% chance of winning. There are so many treasures in that blessed land you mentioned, why let outsiders benefit from them?"

"No, 99% is not enough, it must be 100%. We must do our best to ensure that there are no mistakes. Don't worry about any blessed lands or grottoes. Becoming an immortal is the top priority."

Xiao Jie's voice was unusually serious. The closer he got to the great battle with Hong Chen, the more he felt that this battle would not be simple.

As an ancient monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, judging from the character background setting alone, this True Man of the Mortal World is much more powerful than Wang Xie. Although he is not the BOSS, we must be wary of his hidden abilities or his ability to transform on the spot.

There might be a second stage, and this Nine Abyss Locking Spirit Talisman is prepared for that second stage.

As for finding outside help, it's to ensure the team has enough combat redundancy. In case something really happens, these outside helpers will be cannon fodder to take the hits. The more cannon fodder there are, the safer he and his core teammates will be.

"No need to say more, everyone go back and prepare."

Based on the numerous victories and significant achievements Xiao Jie and his teammates had made since the team's formation, Xiao Jie still commanded considerable prestige.

Everyone fell silent and went about their own preparations.

Xiao Jie also dialed Long Xing Tianxia's number.
