Cultivation begins with planting techniques

"He used his own Nascent Soul essence and blood to refine the talisman, thus carrying the aura of the brand. Those who also practice the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Art can also use this talisman as a bridge to establish a certain connection with the golden-patterned turtle shell..."

"However, this method is still separated by a layer. The golden-patterned tortoise shell has not been refined by the talisman holder. Although it can mobilize some power, it still relies more on the strength of the treasure itself and cannot exert much magical power..."

Li Ye carefully pondered the general outline of the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Art in a short period of time, as well as the annotations left by Guo Tinghan in the jade slip, and recalled the situation when he first saw the golden-patterned turtle shell.

Back then, in the formation left behind by True Lord Han Tao, although Jin Lanzhou used the power of the golden-patterned tortoise shell, it was indeed relatively rigid and did not produce many changes.

But even in such a dangerous situation, he protected them all as safe as a mountain, and no matter how domineering the armored soldiers and dragon beast chariots transformed by the Blood Evil Formation were, they were not shaken at all.

Such a display already made Li Ye quite amazed at the time.

However, it is incomparable to the overwhelming magical powers that Guo Tinghan displayed when he ambushed Zhuang Yushan and other people from the Seven Demon Mountain later!

It is enough to show that although the talisman method has given other people in the sect some authority, it is still far from truly controlling this treasure. As for refining it for personal use, that is out of the question!
"Hmm... Fortunately, I just need an idea to pry open the restrictions of this treasure..."

Li Ye's eyes flickered.

Although he now has water spiritual roots, he has no intention of practicing the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Technique, and he has no idea of refining the golden tortoise's aura and turning it into a brand on his Nascent Soul.

His true essence and magical power are extremely pure, which is the result of his meticulous practice and polishing till now.

What I want is a solid foundation!
The fifth-level treasure is indeed extremely precious, and it is probably rare in the entire human world. However, Li Ye’s practice is not just to be invincible in the Nascent Soul stage.

In his view, becoming a god is just a necessary path, not the ultimate goal.

In this way, even if the treasure is powerful, it cannot be compared with his foundation of Taoism.

If in order to refine a treasure, one instead invites evil spirit into the body and contaminates the essence of the Nascent Soul, it would be not worth it!

Li Ye is different from the group of Nascent Soul cultivators on Lingbie Island. The Linggui Zhenhai Jue has become the foundation of his Taoism. Unless he finds a technique that is far more sophisticated than it to replace it, and there is a chance for him to change his practice, otherwise his foundation is set and cannot be changed.

It may not be a bad thing to be influenced by the power of the golden-patterned tortoise shell that permeates the entire set of exercises and may be its origin.

But it is impossible for him to make such a choice.

Having this method of prying it open and being able to control this treasure a little is more than enough... enough to give him an extraordinary trump card!
"The most important thing about this talisman-controlling technique is the aura imprint of the golden-patterned tortoise shell and the technique of the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Art..."

"Aura imprint. I previously used the Qinghua Wood Divine Fire in front of the treasure house to refine a wisp of the power aura of this tortoise shell. I can do the same and force out another wisp for use..."

"As for the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Technique..."

Li Ye thought about it and already had some ideas.

Guo Tinghan was able to come up with the idea of using talismans to control weapons and lend the sect's treasures to his junior fellow disciples. He was indeed quite creative and must have a good foundation in the art of talismans.

But if compared with Li Ye, his attainments in weapon refining, talismans and other skills are inferior!
Li Ye did not need to practice the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Technique. He only needed to refine and utilize the aura of the golden tortoise's power.

Add another layer on the control rune to imbue it with its blood and energy, transform the nature of the magic power, and then activate it. This will most likely meet the needs of controlling the golden-patterned tortoise shell.

After all, the Spirit Turtle Sea-Suppressing Art's magical power could activate the golden-patterned tortoise shell simply because the magical energy was close to the golden tortoise itself. If he directly used its aura to imbue the magic power, the effect wouldn't be much different; at most, it would be slightly more awkward than using the Golden Turtle Boat to control the magic power.

Originally it could only be activated indirectly, and the idea of utilizing the advantages of the treasure's own rank was not bad at all.

It won’t be too late to try to refine it completely after he breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage or even the Spirit Transformation stage.

The idea has been decided, and all that remains is to deduce the details.

Li Ye smiled slightly, took out the golden-patterned tortoise shell, and his eyes flashed with silver-purple light. Comparing it with the vaguely visible restrictive patterns on the tortoise shell, he began to perfect the imperial talisman created by Guo Tinghan.

………………

"That's Lingbie Island..."

Several monks, with their breath restrained and their figures hidden in the clouds, looked from afar at the island that looked like a giant turtle and was covered by heavy formations.

I saw that the formation that was supposed to manifest a spirit turtle to guard the island had now changed drastically in appearance.

Although the spirit turtle was preserved, the artistic conception had changed.

Plants and vegetation appeared on the broad shell of the spirit turtle, and a giant tree that climbed higher and higher into the sky was particularly prominent. It took root on the tree and occupied the island.

At its feet, countless waves surged around the island, with unpredictable changes in cold and heat, constantly stirring up water flows into the spirit turtle and the huge vegetation.

It can be said that it is three formations in one, and its power is much greater than when only the giant turtle appeared in the past!
It is already close to the high level of the fourth rank. Even if a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage comes, without some means to break the formation, he will probably be in a stalemate and find it difficult to break the formation.

I don’t know how Li Ye and Tang Xingwen practiced, but they actually achieved such extraordinary attainments in formation. It’s really unbelievable.

Seeing this, these people all had a look of fear in their eyes, and had no intention of attacking the formation by force.

However, when they looked at the flying boats leaving the island, they could not suppress the greed on their faces.

The Yunshui Sea is such a vast sea area that naturally not all cultivators are willing to take the risk of getting involved in a group of forces leading an attack on southern Xinjiang.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators with weaker magical powers, and even those forces that do not border other domains but are located near the Yunshui Sea, are taking a wait-and-see approach.

Until now, the Yunshui Sea Area Monks Alliance has been defeated and its defense line has collapsed, allowing a group of Southern Border monks led by Li Ye from Pingyang Mountain to rush into the East China Sea, sweeping across the entire Yunshui Sea Area, and the situation is completely chaotic.

Finally some people couldn't bear it anymore.

Among these cultivators, there are independent cultivators from the Yunshui Sea Area, as well as people from the nearby sea areas who come here specifically to take advantage of the situation. Their target this time is the transport fleet from Pingyang Mountain!
Although Lingbie Island is a rare spiritual place in the entire Yunshui Sea, and there are probably many treasures on the island that have not been moved away, the triple embedded formation protection makes people dare not offend it at all.

It is possible that the formation will not be broken and you may end up getting yourself involved.

In comparison, this fleet, which has collected all the treasures of Lingbie Island and even the resources of the surrounding islands, is much easier to control! (End of this chapter)
