The road is vague

Chapter 336 Sky Thunder Talisman

a few days later.

After returning to Dabao Island, the true demon clone immediately went to Refining Soul Mountain.

While Mr. Dai and Xiao Zhi were playing stone chess on the mountainside, they noticed something and immediately ran towards the cave.

Within the rolling thunder pool, Li Mo, who had been in seclusion for more than half a year, slowly opened his eyes.

He first glanced at the spirit stone in his hand, which had run out of spiritual energy, then threw it away. He then looked at the True Demon Avatar, and after a brief exchange, he frowned. He then shut down the Misty Spirit Eye Array, put away the Composite Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array, and accepted the storage bracelet and Dark Thunder Heavenly Book handed over by the True Demon Avatar.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After absorbing the Water Thunder Fan, the Dark Thunder Heavenly Book has finally finished digesting the energy after these days of dormancy. It has come into harmony with the Yin Thunder Dao and, based on the Heart-Devouring Thunder, a new Yin Thunder technique has emerged.

After observing for a while, Li Mo gained some understanding of it based on his understanding of the Great Dao.

"Peeping into the hidden thunder in one's heart, interesting."

This is actually a kind of eavesdropping technique, a Yin Thunder technique specifically used to eavesdrop on the exchange of divine thoughts. It only requires that the eavesdropping distance be relatively close and that the divine thoughts be no less than those of the person being eavesdropped on.

Upon seeing this, the true demon avatar turned and left the cave.

"I plan to select some believers to form a combat legion. Once the Black Hand Slave Capture Group leaves Xuanwu Island, I will surround and intercept them, kill them, and search their souls to find Zhang Xiu Ning's whereabouts."

"Okay, just a moment."

After responding, Li Mo opened his storage bracelet and looked at the True Demon Avatar's gains from this trip.

Due to the scarcity of resources in the Lost Sea, although the True Demon Avatar was unable to collect the necessary items to refine the grand array as required, it was able to collect materials to refine high-level spirit talismans and spirit wood needed to refine the matrix puppet, which can be considered as indirectly solving the problem of improving the strength of the Golden Core stage.

“Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take at least three to five years to refine a half-set of Golden Core stage matrix puppets without the support of a large array. It will take about two years to refine a combined attack puppet. It is definitely too late to hunt down the male and female Fiends. Let’s do our best to refine two or three high-level thunder talismans first.”

Think of this.

Li Mo first opened the container holding the demon blood and confirmed that the demon blood inside was indeed the essence blood of a transformed great demon king.

He then carefully examined the details.

He nodded in agreement; indeed, the demon blood contained thunderous spiritual power and the special title of the great demon Xiangliu.

If it were to refine other high-level spirit talismans, he would certainly not attempt to refine a mid-level high-grade Earthshaking Talisman again after trying to refine one. However, if it were a high-level spirit talisman of the lightning attribute, that would be a different story.

So he took out a small bottle, reached out and gently touched it, using his spiritual light to separate a portion of the essence blood and put it into the bottle.

Li Mo handed over the small bottle of essence blood, along with the twenty-odd high-grade magic artifacts he had seized but hadn't had time to sell, to the True Demon clone.

"Let that giant three-king serpent recover as soon as possible; we'll need it in the upcoming battle."

"it is good."

The true demon clone nodded and left.

With these magical artifacts, after this battle, he can carefully select some believers with amazing potential to serve as carriers for parasitizing demonic blood and spreading pollution.

Next.

Li Mo began to follow the relevant records and brew the remaining demon blood into spirit ink according to the relevant procedures. The process was relatively simple and the required materials were not complicated. The key was that the demon blood raw materials were difficult to obtain, but this was not a problem in the Lost Sea.

"I wonder what Master Qian Jing of the Talisman Making Hall would think if he knew that I was actually preparing to use the blood of a transformed demon king to refine a high-level spirit talisman here?"

As far as Li Mo knows.

Although the Talisman Making Hall once housed several high-level spirit talismans, most of them were consumed by the Fair Dao Society during the internal strife within the sect. Later, with the war in the Southern Barbarian Lands, they were used to incentivize the sect's Golden Core cultivators. In recent years, no resources have been purchased to refine them again.

After shaking his head and smiling, Li Mo began patiently making the spirit paper needed for the spirit talisman.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had experience refining Earth-Shaking Talismans when he was a bounty hunter in Jianmen Mountain. As a result, he had a lot of auxiliary materials left over. Otherwise, if he had used materials unique to his own body, the success rate and power would have been reduced. He wouldn't have dared to make a move even when refining high-level lightning-attribute spirit talismans.

More than ten days later.

Lightning and thunder struck the waters near Treasure Island, triggering a summer hurricane.

The waves could easily reach more than ten feet high, and the residents of coastal towns fled inland. Even the heretics would not choose to go out to sea at this time, lest they be devoured by sea monsters.

Soul Refining Mountain.

The lightning bolts that kept tearing the sky apart seemed to be drawn by some force, constantly falling towards the mountain peak.

Upon closer inspection.

Someone was actually standing under a protective aura, writing furiously. The thunderous might of the heavens was clearly influenced by the order outlined in the ink, and was continuously sealed into the paper.

This is precisely Li Mo's attempt to refine a high-level spirit talisman.

Poof!
Li Mo, who was writing halfway through, suddenly stopped.

The gale was blocked by the aura barrier, and the rain slid down along the barrier. The light of the self-igniting talisman shone in the darkness, and it could be clearly seen even from dozens of miles away in the midst of the storm.

Li Mo looked down at the rapidly burning Heavenly Thunder Talisman and couldn't help but sigh.

He had hoped for a successful start, but unexpectedly failed. Fortunately, after some calculation, he learned that the next few days would be stormy, allowing him to come here continuously to refine the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

Although this talisman failed, it laid the foundation for the next Heavenly Thunder Talisman, from which he can continuously learn from experience and grow.

After comforting himself, Li Mo did not return to his cave. Instead, he leaped into the air and flew towards the dark depths of the sea.

In such a storm, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator's levitation technique would be almost certainly fatal, let alone human ships that have not mastered the ability to fly and can only navigate the sea. Only Golden Core cultivators, with their profound magical power, can maintain stable flight amidst the storm.

Li Mo continued searching for traces of the Sea King Beast.

To the gods of the Lost Continent, these sea monsters are like wild horses on the grasslands; once captured, they can be tamed, and the method of taming is not limited to the Heart-Eating Thunder.

However, in the vast ocean, it is extremely difficult to capture these sea king beasts. Even after more than 20 years of effort, Venerable Lei Yuan has only managed to accumulate a dozen or so sea king beasts. At the same time, because he has released the Heart-Devouring Thunder too many times, his divine sense is almost 30% weaker than that of others of the same level.

Sudden.

Li Mo stopped his escape light and looked at the huge figure that had leaped up from the rolling waves.

It has two horns on its head, and its body is like that of a sea lion. Every inch of its skin bursts with power, and it emits a deep and long roar. It rushes into the sky with the waves and then falls back into the sea with the waves, with the waves soaring into the sky.

"Sea King Beast!"

He had only come out to clear his head because he had failed at making talismans.

He didn't care whether he could find the Sea King Beast, but unexpectedly, he had incredible luck and actually encountered one.

Seeing this, Li Mo, in high spirits, immediately laughed loudly, and with a flash of his Sky-Snatching Wings, he transformed into lightning and plunged into the sea.

Crackling!

The violent lightning burst forth in all directions, illuminating the enormous body in the dark depths of the sea.

Immediately afterward, the colossal creature struggled violently amidst the lightning, churning the nearby seawater and colliding repeatedly with the tiny figure that had transformed into lightning, instantly making the already turbulent sea even more turbulent. After a fierce battle in the sea between Li Mo and this sea monster, which resembled a hybrid of a bison and a seal, for the duration of half an incense stick's stick, the over twenty-zhang-long behemoth was finally stunned by Li Mo's electric shock and lay floating belly up in the sea.

After forming hand seals, Li Mo gently pointed at the giant beast.

A constantly trembling bolt of lightning, resembling a sea urchin covered in thorns, gradually entered the body of the sea monster.

suddenly!

Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

He initially thought it was just an ordinary secret technique.

But the moment he took control of the sea monster, he vaguely sensed some of the order of heaven and earth.

He vaguely sensed that the power of heaven and earth in the Mountain and Sea Realm was constantly taking back the living conditions of these savage beasts, so much so that Li Mo, who was briefly connected with them, felt an indescribable sense of oppression and suffocation.

It's like marine life losing the ocean, and terrestrial life losing the land.

The reason why so many of the sea monsters here have survived is that they have taken advantage of the mottled order at the edge of the world and have drawn nourishment from various polluted orders.

At the same time, he could also sense that a sublime law and order had established human popularity as the foundation of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

If the Mountain and Sea Realm continues to deteriorate and other native species become extinct, then humanity, as the last remaining foundation, will also face the crisis of extinction. At that time, all kinds of demons and monsters will be able to completely occupy this realm, or even end the Dharma-ending Age and evolve a new order and rules.

"Is this the source of the conflict between the Central Continent and the Lost Continent, or the conflict between the Misty Blood Dragon Clan and the Misty Hundred Clans? Do they truly consider themselves part of the Mountain and Sea Realm? First came the extinction of great demons and immortal roots, then the extinction of savage beasts, followed by spiritual herbs, and finally the Misty Clan and the human race who have integrated into this realm?"

After muttering to himself, Li Mo looked at the sea monster that was gradually awakening.

These sea monsters are truly tough and resilient.

Although Li Mo did not activate the Thunderous Transformation Technique or unleash his peak strength, he certainly did not hold back. Yet, under such a violent lightning strike, he only managed to stun it, causing some minor superficial injuries.

He could hardly imagine how terrifying it would be if these sea monsters were given magical powers.

In ancient times, these savage beasts were giant creatures that could be found everywhere in the world of mountains and seas. They were food for various great demons and could only reproduce by virtue of their numbers.

"Back to Taiwan."

Driven by Li Mo, the sea monster controlled by the Heart-Eating Thunder immediately swam towards the Great Treasure Island, braving the raging winds and towering waves.

……

three days later.

Li Mo, standing in the thundercloud, let out an excited laugh.

He looked at the Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand.

The original blood-red ink, having absorbed enough lightning power, actually formed wisps of lightning. These lightning bolts seemed to come alive, constantly moving across the talisman and exuding an indescribable awe-inspiring power, which was extremely mysterious.

Perhaps because this high-level talisman absorbed too much of the power of heaven and earth, the stormy weather that had plagued Dabao Island for many days in the following year brought a brief period of peace, and a beautiful rainbow formed at the horizon.

"so beautiful!"

"Squeak."

The old man was mesmerized.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo, who was in a state of excitement, couldn't help but show surprise.

"What, were there no rainbows in the ancient world of mountains and seas?"

The old man shook his head.

"This is clearly the ethereal order, not the mountain and sea order. It seems that the true spirits of the ethereal realm have really integrated the remaining rules of the ethereal realm into the mountain and sea realm. No wonder it is so strange and full of fantasy to be trapped in the mountain and sea realm."

It seemed to be deep in thought.

"Perhaps once the rules of the two worlds are completely merged, some new changes will occur?"

Li Mo had been in contact with the old man for a long time, and his understanding of the order of heaven and earth in the Mountain and Sea Realm was probably far superior to that of some Nascent Soul cultivators.

The calm on Treasure Island lasted only about half a day.

The tranquil haven was quickly shattered, and the storm returned.

Next, Li Mo finally grasped the pattern.

As long as he successfully refines the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, the area around Dabao Island will enter a half-day period of tranquility, as if a huge eye of the storm has formed near Dabao Island, which is in stark contrast to the raging winds in the surrounding sea. The True Demon Avatar uses this opportunity to proclaim his miracle and win over many evil believers who secretly adhere to the Thunder Origin doctrine.

in this way.

Using the materials obtained from the auction, Li Mo successfully crafted three high-level Heavenly Thunder Talismans, maintaining a success rate of about 30%. Although he couldn't be considered a talisman-making master, his experience was still quite remarkable among ordinary talisman masters.

The true demon clone suddenly sensed something and used a blood magic technique to leave a ghost face mark on the Black Hand slave ship, which was heading towards the deep sea.

"Humph!"

He immediately sent a transmission talisman to his original body, while looking at his new leader.

"Pass on my order: prepare for battle."

"As you wish!"

The melodious howls echoed throughout the headquarters of the Primal Evil God Cult, mobilizing a large number of believers who were armed with various weapons and lined up in battle, shouting battle cries incessantly.

An hour later.

Thousands of half-human, half-demon cultists, riding on a dozen sea monsters and led by the Three Kings Serpent, swam swiftly into the deep sea against the raging winds and waves.

The cultists on the Sea King Beast are alright.

Those lower-ranking cultists swimming in the sea were frequently killed and disappeared after being swept away by the waves, but the army did not stop in the slightest.

Li Mo and his True Demon clone stood side by side on the head of the Three Kings Serpent.

Through his True Spirit Eye, Li Mo could see the sea monsters surging beneath the surface of the sea, constantly devouring the primitive believers.

This is the open sea, and there are so many sea monsters that come to the surface to feed because of the waves.

"Once we reach the inland sea, the waves will be much smaller."

The true demon clone said in a low voice.

"kindness."

Li Mo's eyes were cold, as if no hardship or danger could change his determination to eliminate the Twin Fiends and find Zhang Xiu Ning's whereabouts through soul-searching.

The losses of the heretics were insignificant in his eyes.
