Chapter 673: Chapter 538: Talismanic Treasure, Achieved!_2
According to common sense,
If the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman in front of He Song was merely an extremely extraordinary-looking bead,
It might not attract too much attention.
After all, in the Cultivation World, all sorts of wonders emerge endlessly.
Perhaps this kind of curious stone is produced within a certain mountain peak.
But if this extremely extraordinary-looking bead also contained extremely powerful spirit Qi,
Then, it would inevitably attract the attention of numerous cultivators.
Even He Song, a Gold Core Cultivator in the Golden Core Middle Stage, could feel a vast amount of spirit Qi within the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.
Should the person who sees the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman have a lower cultivation level,
For example, at the Foundation Establishment stage,
Or at the Qi Refining stage,
Perhaps, to their senses, the spirit Qi contained within the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman would be extremely terrifying.
Of course, the spirit Qi contained within the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was merely the innate energy of the Golden Core plus the spirit Qi originally within the Precious Spirit Ink.
This vast spirit Qi did not include the immense mana that He Song was currently continuously pouring into the talisman.
When the mana in the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was fully charged,
Perhaps a powerful spiritual pressure would also manifest within it.
The White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman contained several full-force strikes from a Gold Core Cultivator at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and the spiritual pressure generated by the Gold Core Cultivator’s mana would also exert a tremendous oppressive force on both Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators.
With this in mind, perhaps once He Song had filled the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman with his own mana,
If other cultivators were to see the talisman, they would likely instantly perceive something unusual about it.
An extremely extraordinary-looking bead,
Containing a vast amount of spirit Qi,
And with an awe-inspiring spiritual pressure faintly emerging.
Such a curious object would likely instantly arouse curiosity, and different thoughts might arise in one’s mind.
Whether it would create a sense of wariness, accelerating one’s departure,
Or it would evoke greed, preparing to target He Song,
Both were outcomes He Song did not wish to see.
Looking at the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman before him, which now revealed its extraordinariness, He Song sank into contemplation and eventually made a decision in his mind.
This White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was too conspicuous.
He still needed to disguise it to use it as a foundation.
Otherwise, if any cultivator could tell the object’s extraordinariness at a glance, how could it be used as a foundation?
With such thoughts, He Song continued to pour mana into the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman while also pondering over countermeasures.
To hide the appearance of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman and make it seem ordinary, He Song indeed had many methods.
For example, splitting open a spherical piece of jade and creating a space at its center big enough to fit the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman,
And then placing the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman inside.
Once the jade closed up and was further reinforced so the spherical piece wouldn’t easily split into two,
The appearance of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman would naturally become an ordinary piece of jade, no longer revealing any flaw to others.
Just as this idea flashed through He Song’s mind, a question arose.
In doing so, although the jade would cover up the appearance of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman, the vast spirit Qi inside, as well as the awe-inspiring spiritual pressure, could not be hidden.
Any cultivator would generally only need to sense it slightly to detect something was amiss.
Therefore, merely wrapping a layer of jade around the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman for concealment wasn’t very effective.
At most, it would just make the appearance of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman less eye-catching.
Beyond that, there was no significant difference.
Just as He Song was shaking his head internally, about to abandon this plan, a thought suddenly struck him.
Perhaps… a long time ago, he had tried a method that could turn his thoughts into reality.
It was when He Song initially studied the Array Tao.
He had attempted to lay out an array within a very small area.
For instance, on the shell of Yu’er.
Ordinary arrays, once set up, typically occupy a not so insignificant amount of space.
Take, for example, a Foundation Establishment Concealment Array, the Smoke Array.
To deploy a Smoke Array, one needs to cover an area of at least several tens of meters.
But, if He Songzhen truly managed to inscribe a Smoke Array into that little jade ball, which encased the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.
Even though the effectiveness of the Smoke Array might become weaker due to the reduced scale of the layout,
still, with the array’s ability to block divine sense probes, the concerns He Song previously had would be resolved with ease.
The Smoke Array can shield divine senses. Once it is deployed inside that jade ball, it would completely cloak the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman within.
it’s likely that not until He Song fully activated the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman and launched an attack on the enemy would the enemy be able to react.
Perhaps the adversary might even find it amusing, wondering why He Song was still fiddling with an ordinary jade ball at such a critical moment.
But little would they know,
that the ordinary jade ball He Song was toying with was actually a Talismanic Treasure.
Possibly, only when the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was fully activated and engulfed them like a white rainbow’s powerful sword light would they wake from their dream, suddenly realizing the truth.
Indeed, the ordinary jade ball in He Song’s hands is no mortal thing.
As that image passed through his mind, He Song looked at the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman before him with a sudden flash of contemplation in his eyes.
To He Song, the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman indeed seemed too ostentatious, not subdued enough.
This was the reason he pondered how to mask its sharpness.
as the image in his mind took full shape, He Song instantly realized that there was indeed some feasibility to this method.
However, to achieve such a goal and make his use of the Talismanic Treasure more concealed, he needed to develop the miniaturized version of the Smoke Array first.
Once He Song develops the miniaturized Smoke Array,
perhaps he could forge several, or even a dozen, Talismanic Treasures and string them into an ordinary jade bracelet, perfectly keeping them hidden.
According to He Song’s thinking,
in the Cultivation World, surely no cultivator would pay any attention to a bracelet made of ordinary jade beads, would they?
Thus, whenever he engaged with others in a skirmish, he would naturally achieve the element of surprise.
With this thought, He Song soon became immersed in deep contemplation.
Given He Song’s current understanding of array tao, minimizing a Foundation Establishment Concealment Array like the Smoke Array wasn’t actually all that difficult.
A Foundation Establishment Array and a Golden Elixir Great Array are set up using the Array Disk and Array Banner.
Whereas a Qi Refining Array is created with Array Foundations carved from spirit stones.
If Array Foundations carved from spirit stones can be used to set up arrays,
if he chose to directly inscribe miniature array patterns inside the jade, and reduced the function of the Smoke Array to minimize its layout area,
wouldn’t he be able to create an Array with its effects greatly diminished yet still capable of being deployed inside the jade?
As long as he increased the supply of spirit Qi to this miniaturized Smoke Array,
its functionality, when used to conceal the anomaly of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman, should be more than sufficient.
He Song estimated this method to be feasible,
and he believed he could likely put it into practice very soon.
However, just as He Song had a clear idea in mind and had deduced that he could soon achieve it,
the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman, which had been continuously absorbing his mana, also gradually stopped drawing from his forces.
With the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman ceasing to absorb He Song’s mana,
a gold and crimson intertwined White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman of extremely extraordinary appearance, then emerged before He Song.
After absorbing a sufficient amount of mana, the blood-colored patterns on the surface of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman became even more vivid, appearing quite eerie.
