Chapter 547: Karma Bead, Transformation Talisman
Chapter 547: Karma Bead, Transformation Talisman
"… When that time comes, I will make sure you neither live nor die, suffering eternally in the endless hell!"
With this cold and calm threat, Supreme Master Miaoyu's Avatar of the Divine Spirit finally disintegrated and collapsed.
Under the continuous refinement by the Rune Seal, it ultimately dissolved into nothingness.
Only a lingering chill seemed to echo through the hall.
However, Lu Qing did not even flinch in the face of Supreme Master Miaoyu's final threat.
When he decided to help Mo Hongyun break the curse, he knew he would be offending this Fourth Tribulation Divine Soul.
So, this threat was nothing to him. To him, it was more like the futile rage of Supreme Master Miaoyu's Avatar of the Divine Spirit.
Moreover, he had isolated this strand of divine will from its main body using a formation array.
It was uncertain whether Supreme Master Miaoyu's main body would even know what had transpired here.
Even if the Fourth Tribulation Divine Soul's abilities truly surpassed Lu Qing's imagination, and the main body could still receive some information after the avatar's consciousness was extinguished, Lu Qing was not afraid.
Having condensed a Perfect Golden Core and possessing the Formless and Intangible ability, he could change his aura at will, including his divine soul fluctuations.
Even if he stood before Supreme Master Miaoyu, the other might not recognize him.
It was this confidence that allowed Lu Qing to agree to help Mo Hongyun break the curse.
Otherwise, why would he willingly invite such a formidable enemy?
After carefully examining the area with his abilities and confirming that Supreme Master Miaoyu's strand of divine will was indeed completely extinguished, Lu Qing pinched a seal.
The massive Rune Seal trembled slightly and then split into countless runes, which fell back into the formation array.
The light barrier that had enveloped the area dissipated and vanished back into the formation.
Having completed this, Lu Qing used his divine soul to send a mental message to Mo Hongyun, who had been sealed off from her senses.
Meanwhile, outside the formation, Lord Canglan was already dumbfounded, filled with awe at the scene before him.
"Did he actually refine Supreme Master Miaoyu's Avatar of the Divine Spirit, completely extinguishing even the divine consciousness?"
Lord Canglan's face was filled with disbelief.
The divine consciousness of a Fourth Tribulation Divine Soul, no matter how minor, should not be something a Core Formation Realm cultivator could handle.
Yet, he had just witnessed Supreme Master Miaoyu's divine consciousness being suppressed and refined by Lu Qing.
From start to finish, Supreme Master Miaoyu had not been able to mount any significant resistance, disintegrating and vanishing completely.
Every step had been meticulously calculated by Lu Qing, making the process seem effortless and unbelievable.
"Head of the Pavilion, you can return your mind now."
Deep in her consciousness, Mo Hongyun, who had been fully guarding her mental light, suddenly heard Lu Qing's voice resonating within her.
"Is it Lu Daoist's voice? Did he succeed?"
A wave of joy surged through Mo Hongyun's heart as she recalled the sudden sense of relief in her divine soul.
Without hesitation, she returned her mind and regained control of her body.
Once her mind returned to her body, Mo Hongyun immediately felt the difference.
A sense of perfect integration and effortless flow surged through her, making her feel incredibly light and free.
Looking down, she saw the red, bizarre curse mark that had been a constant nightmare, causing her endless pain and suffering, had completely vanished, leaving no trace behind.
"Lu Daoist, is this…?"
Mo Hongyun stared at her chest, her voice tinged with disbelief.
"Red Yun, your Heart-Eroding Charm has been completely removed. Even Supreme Master Miaoyu's divine consciousness has been refined and extinguished."
Lord Canglan quickly explained.
Mo Hongyun looked up at Lu Qing, her eyes wide with shock.
Lu Qing nodded slightly and smiled, "Head of the Pavilion, you can now rest easy. The Heart-Eroding Charm is gone, and Supreme Master Miaoyu can no longer sense your presence or control your fate at will."
"Am I finally free?"
With Lu Qing's confirmation, Mo Hongyun felt a wave of dizziness. The chains of fate that had bound her for so long, causing her endless despair, were finally broken.
At first, she did not feel joy, but rather a sense of disorientation and confusion.
After a long moment, Mo Hongyun suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply to Lu Qing.
"Thank you, Lu Daoist, for saving my life. I will never forget this great kindness!"
"Lord, please rise. There’s no need for such a grand gesture."
Lu Qing gently waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted Mo Hongyun to her feet.
"These past few days, you have shown me great kindness. I merely return the favor."
"However, Lord, although the Heart-Eroding Charm has been removed from your body, Supreme Master Miaoyu will not let this matter rest easily."
"So, it would be best for you to leave Xiaocang Realm as soon as possible, making it difficult for him to find you."
"Moreover, your connection with him is deep. It would be wise to wear an artifact that can shield you from causal divination to prevent him from using divination techniques to locate you."
Lu Qing slowly advised.
"Indeed, Hongyun. Supreme Master Miaoyu is a powerful being who has transcended four calamities. Even if he hasn’t specialized in divination, his skills in this area are undoubtedly formidable."
"Be cautious. I have a spirit artifact called the Karma Bead. You should refine and wear it. As long as you keep it on you, even with the barrier of a vast world, Supreme Master Miaoyu will not be able to trace your location."
Lord Canglan took a thumb-sized chaotic-colored bead from his storage bag and handed it to Mo Hongyun.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Mo Hongyun accepted the Karma Bead without hesitation and began to refine it. She indeed lacked any specific artifact to shield her from causal connections, and such artifacts were rare, especially at the spirit artifact level. Even in the Treasure Pavilion, she had no such item.
Lu Qing had gone to great lengths to remove the curse for her. She could not let his efforts go to waste because of her own reluctance.
Before giving the Karma Bead to Mo Hongyun, Lord Canglan had already erased his mental imprint. Therefore, Mo Hongyun easily imprinted her divine soul and successfully refined the bead, wearing it around her neck.
Seeing this, Lord Canglan smiled, feeling a great weight lifted from his heart. Now, Mo Hongyun was truly safe, and even Supreme Master Miaoyu would find it difficult to locate her.
"Lord, considering Supreme Master Miaoyu’s domineering nature, he will not let this matter rest. He might even descend to the lower realm in person. It would be best for you to leave as soon as possible. Xiaocang Realm is no longer a safe place for you."
Lu Qing advised earnestly.
"Don’t worry, Daoist Lu. Before coming here, I had already dissolved the Treasure Pavilion. I distributed the treasures and spirit stones among the elders, so I am ready to leave at any time."
Mo Hongyun smiled, surprising Lu Qing with her news.
"You dissolved the Treasure Pavilion?" Lu Qing asked in surprise.
"Yes, so Daoist Lu, you don’t need to call me Lord anymore. Just call me Hongyun." Mo Hongyun laughed.
Lu Qing was impressed. It was no wonder she had built the Treasure Pavilion into such a successful business on her own. Her resolve was not something ordinary people could possess.
"Hongyun, where do you plan to go from here?" Lord Canglan asked. "The safest place would be our Nangong family. Supreme Master Miaoyu, no matter how powerful, would not dare to cause trouble there. If you stay with us..."
However, seeing the cold look in Mo Hongyun’s eyes, Lord Canglan’s voice trailed off, and he did not dare to continue.
Once her uncle wisely fell silent, Mo Hongyun withdrew her gaze, her eyes softening.
"Wherever I go, it doesn’t matter. I have no more ties now. Perhaps leaving Xiaocang Realm is for the best. These past years, because of the Heart-Eroding Charm, I was unwilling to actively cultivate. What’s the point of advancing in cultivation if I still end up serving others?"
"But now, I want to travel and cultivate. If I can luckily reach the Primordial Soul Realm and fully control my Mystic Yin Jade Body, perhaps no one will be able to manipulate my fate again."
Seeing the determination in Mo Hongyun’s eyes, Lu Qing thought for a moment. He then took out a jade talisman from his Qian Kun Yi Qi Bag.
"Hongyun, take this talisman. Refine it and store it in your dantian with your Golden Core. It should help you mask your aura, making it difficult for others to discern the secrets of your Mystic Yin Jade Body."
"Can this talisman truly conceal the aura of my Mystic Yin Jade Body?"
Mo Hongyun looked at the jade talisman in Lu Qing’s hand with surprise.
"Yes, once you refine it, as long as no one uses their divine soul to thoroughly investigate, even a Primordial Soul Realm expert should find it difficult to detect your unique constitution", Lu Qing nodded.
The jade talisman he provided was based on his own Perfect Golden Core’s formless and intangible transformation ability.
Combined with his expertise in talismans, he deduced this transformation talisman.
Xiao Li, Female, and Wu Xing managed to avoid being seen through by the powerful figures in the Primordial Soul Realm, all thanks to the transformation talisman Lu Qing personally inscribed on their demon cores.
"Such a divine talisman! Lu Daoist, your mastery of talismans truly leaves one in awe."
Mo Hongyun was immensely delighted. She immediately began to refine the jade talisman upon receiving it.
She then stored it in her dantian.
With a slight shift in her thoughts, her aura began to change.
The originally cold and alluring aura was instantly reined in, becoming utterly unremarkable.
Even to the Lord Canglan, a Primordial Soul Realm powerhouse, Mo Hongyun’s aura had drastically changed.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have dared to confirm that this was his niece just by sensing her aura.
"Good, very good!" Lord Canglan was greatly pleased. "With the Karma Bead and this talisman, you won’t have to worry about others seeing through your true nature when you travel outside."
Mo Hongyun was even more excited.
What had always troubled her the most was her Mystic Yin Jade Body.
This innate constitution was far too easily coveted.
Even when traveling, she had to be constantly vigilant, ensuring no one discovered her Mystic Yin Jade Body.
But now, with the talisman Lu Qing provided, the likelihood of her being discovered had significantly decreased.
How could she not be moved?
If she had possessed such a talisman back then, she probably wouldn’t have been identified and pursued by that old man, Supreme Master Miaoyu.
After her emotions calmed somewhat, Mo Hongyun took out a storage pouch.
"Lu Daoist’s kindness is something I can never repay. Please accept this storage pouch."
"Director, this is…"
Lu Qing did not immediately take the storage pouch but looked at her.
"It only contains spirit stones. I noticed that Lu Daoist seems to value spirit stones greatly.
Our Treasure Pavilion has accumulated many spirit stones over the years, even if we don’t have much else.
So please accept it.
Otherwise, I would feel uneasy, having received such a great favor from you without offering anything in return."
Seeing the seriousness on Mo Hongyun’s face, Lu Qing paused for a moment, then smiled and took the storage pouch.
"Since that’s the case, I wouldn’t dare refuse."
Seeing that Lu Qing had accepted the storage pouch, Mo Hongyun smiled.
The rest of the time passed more smoothly.
Lu Qing picked up the 108 high-grade Golden Core talismans from the ground and stored them.
He then erased the traces of the formation array on the ground.
The grand array he had set up this time was a temporary deduction.
But its effect was surprisingly good.
It managed to confine and completely refine the divine spirit of a Fourth Tribulation Primordial Soul, an incredible feat.
This was a significant breakthrough in his mastery of talisman and formation array techniques.
This array might still be useful to him in the future.
Therefore, he couldn’t let anyone easily uncover the secrets of the array.
"Lu Daoist, your mastery of formation arrays is truly awe-inspiring.
It’s said that truly powerful array masters possess abilities that even ghosts and gods cannot fathom.
Given enough time to set up their arrays, they can even move mountains and seas, fighting against opponents of higher realms.
Today, I have truly witnessed it."
Lord Canglan, seeing Lu Qing erase the traces of the formation array, couldn’t help but exclaim, recalling the scene he had witnessed earlier.
He also remembered the moment when Lu Qing crushed Gongshu Yu.
He felt Lu Qing’s mysterious and formidable strength even more deeply.
He now even suspected that if Lu Qing had enough time to set up his array, even if he were fully recovered, he might not be able to easily capture him.
"Lord, you flatter me. This time, it was a case of a deliberate plan against an unsuspecting target, and that Supreme Master Miaoyu was overly arrogant and underestimated me.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to confine and refine him."
Lu Qing modestly shook his head.
"Regardless, you, with your Golden Core, managed to refine and destroy the divine spirit of a Fourth Tribulation Primordial Soul.
If this news spreads, it will surely cause a sensation even in the Higher Realm."
