Chapter Six Hundred and Seventy One – Creation of the Talisman (2/2)

Jiang Zhe knew of Bie han’s temper. Bie Han definitely would not give up a chance to face him!

Suddenly, a golden paper crane flew into his hand.

Jiang Zhe’s heart jumped. The golden paper crane represented the most urgent order of the sect. Had something happened in the sect?

He opened the paper crane and read the lines inside. His brow furrowed.

When he saw the name of Ji Zhen Shishuzu, [i] Jiang Zhe’s surprise could not be suppressed and it was as though a tsunami formed inside of him! Two fanxu experts, and now another batch of experts were about to enter Cold Mountain Jie!

What had happened?

But Jiang Zhe also had a bad feeling. For any sect, it was dangerous for all of their elite forces to leave the sect and not leave anyone for defence.

While he did not believe that anyone would dare to act against the sect, but he innately resisted a risky action like this that did not leave any room to spare.

But he was not the sect leader!

He smiled helplessly and tried to explain to himself, if it isn’t an extremely important matter, the sect leader would not be so impulsive!

But … …

———

Zuo Mo’s expression was solemn. The Black Heart Treasure Coins in his hand were completely transformed. The Black Heart Treasure Coins had square openings that seemed to be filled with blood. It would be more accurate to call them the Red-Heart Treasure Coins now.

The seven Red Heart Treasure Coins were scattered on a turtle shell.

Originally, Zuo Mo had not thought of this turtle shell that had been thrown into a corner of his ring. When he had been reforging the Black Heart Treasure Coins, he had felt that the talisman’s abilities were wondrous but they lacked the power to deal a fatal blow.

Zuo Mo looked down on the Black Heart Treasure Coin for this weakness. Since he was going to reforge it, he naturally had to take the chance this so he searched for suitable materials in the ring.

When his gaze landed on this turtle shell, his eyes lit up.

The turtle shell gave off extremely weak shen power vibrations. This was something Zuo Mo had previously had a hard time detecting but now Zuo Mo immediately detected the extraordinary nature of the turtle shell. The thread of shen power was extremely weak but it was pure.

After thinking for a while, he remembered that he had gotten this turtle shell when he had been looting the Sun Shen Temple. He hurriedly went to the gold leave to search for the origins of this turtle shell and was given a fright. This was the turtle shell that the Sun Crystal Tribe used for divination during ceremonies. It had been the turtle shell of the Sea Turtle Tribe’s totem. After the Sun Tribe had destroyed the Sea Turtle Tribe and their totem, this turtle shell had been given to the shen temple. .

The only damage on it were scorch marks caused by the shen fire of the sacrificial altar. Even though tens of thousands of years had passed, this turtle shell was otherwise undamaged. The Sea Turtle Tribe cultivated water-type shen power and after being forged in shen fire for countless years, the sun shen power had permeated every bit of it.

Water and fire had merged together in an unique fashion.

If he could have seen this strange method of fire and water together, Zuo Mo’s [Li Water Sword Scripture] would have advanced several grades!

Each treasure coin was now blue with red on the inside, each textured with the pattern of the turtle shell. They dotted the turtle shell. The scorch marks on the turtle shell had disappeared and the shell itself had become as white as jade without any flaw.

Inside the turtle shell was a shallow puddle of crystal clear water that was like a mirror.

The tears of the mist people had been used here.

What was most unique was that there was a ring of sparks around each turtle coin. They were a miniaturized version of the Reversed Stellar Revolution.

Each of the turtle coins had a ring of sparks that revolved prettily on the surface of the turtle shell.

This was the first top tier talisman that Zuo Mo had gained!

It was not suitable to categorize this talisman using the normal grade ranking system. With the earth mo weapon as the starting point, the holy relict of an ancient tribe as the foundation, with yao arts used as adornment, with the mist people’s tears as the lake, and forged using the forging methods of the xiuzhe. A talisman like this surpassed everything that Zuo Mo knew.

The moment that the talisman took form, Zuo Mo felt joyed.

At this time, black cloud gathered over head and lightning flashed.

Lightning struck down and the mountain above Zuo Mo’s head turned to powder.

Another bolt of lightning came at Zuo Mo. A turtle coin suddenly flew from the water on top of Zuo Mo’s head. A suction force suddenly came from the red square hole.

The lightning immediately entered the square hole.

The turtle coin did not move at all, as though the lightning had just been an illusion.

The black clouds overhead seemed to be infuriated. Lightning roared and came down towards the turtle coin above Zuo Mo’s head.

As the thunder roared, the tortoiseshell patterns on the turtle shell slowly turned silver.

They were absorbing the lightning!

Translator Ramblings: Fang Xiang likes the unresolved cliffhanger, to the disappointment of WanderingGummiOfDoom. He does have a plan, so it’s not as if he put all those clues in because he didn’t know where he was going, he just wants to string readers along as far as I can tell. Also, real life rarely is an info dump.
