Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 16 Memory Bead

Chen Liang also crafted one of these Yin-Yang pendants for each of the three women: Mo Yuzhu, Mo Fengwu, and Mo Caihuan, so I won't go into details.

In addition to the Yin-Yang Pendant, Chen Liang also crafted a pair of gauntlets and a Five Elements Bead for Mo Yuzhu.

The main material of the gauntlets is a special kind of soft gold. When this soft gold is not infused with spiritual energy, it is as soft as an ordinary handkerchief, but when infused with spiritual energy, it becomes as hard as iron.

Chen Liang engraved advanced strength and toughness restrictions on them, making these gauntlets comparable to magic weapons when fully activated, making them a powerful and rare treasure.

To be honest, Chen Liang made these boxing gloves for Mo Yuzhu because she really liked martial arts, and this suited her taste perfectly.

The main material of that Five Elements Bead is also five mid-grade spirit stones. Its interior is engraved with advanced amplification restrictions and advanced spirit gathering restrictions using Five Elements Spirit Ink. Moreover, Chen Liang added some divine power patterns of five-colored spiritual light to connect those amplification restrictions.

This allows the Five Elements Bead to not only amplify the power of the Five Elements spells, but also to emit a layer of five-colored spiritual light for defense when fully activated, making it a pseudo-magic weapon that combines offense and defense.

The magical artifacts Chen Liang gave Mo Fengwu were a jade seal, a golden umbrella, and a set of red thread escape needles, among which the red thread escape needles need no introduction.

Moreover, Chen Liang also passed on the first three levels of the "Great Evolution Technique" to Mo Fengwu, so Mo Fengwu was able to control the Red Thread Escape Needle.

The main material used to refine that jade seal was a type of heavy jade. Chen Liang also engraved advanced gravity restrictions and advanced hardness restrictions on it, making the jade seal exceptionally powerful when it hit someone.

The main material used to forge that golden umbrella was a metallic spiritual material. Chen Liang also added some gold essence to it and engraved it with advanced defensive and hardening restrictions. When fully activated, it could completely withstand attacks of the magic weapon level.

These three extraordinary treasures are: the Jade Seal, which can be used for direct attacks; the Red Thread Escape Needle, which can be used for harassment and sneak attacks; and the Golden Umbrella, which is a powerful defensive treasure.

With this combination, even though Mo Fengwu has relatively little experience in combat, Chen Liang doesn't need to worry that she will suffer in combat.

Mo Caihuan, this little rich girl, already had two excellent top-grade magic artifacts. One of them was the Xuanjin Heavy Ring, which, like Mo Fengwu's jade seal, was a good object to smash people with.

The other item was a jade pendant that could emit a powerful defensive light barrier, capable of blocking even a Core Formation stage attack if ambushed. It was specially prepared by Linghu Laoguai for Mo Caihuan.

Seeing that Mo Caihuan now possessed two extraordinary treasures, one for offense and one for defense, Chen Liang chose to provide Mo Caihuan with more assistance in terms of concealment and escape.

The Yin-Yang Pendant is a hidden treasure, sufficient for concealment. As for escape, Chen Liang crafted a Five Elements Wheel for Mo Caihuan.

This Five Elements Wheel is still made primarily of five mid-grade spirit stones belonging to the five elements, and its interior is engraved with advanced Five Elements Escape Techniques and advanced Spirit Gathering Restrictions using Five Elements Spirit Ink.

When activated, the Five Elements Wheel will automatically transform into the Five Elements Escape Technique, the effect of which is similar to the legendary escape technique of the Five Elements Great Escape, which allows the holder to roam freely across the land.

Chen Liang was willing to bet that even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator like Lei Wanhe would want to possess the power of the Five Elements Wheel and complain about why Chen Liang didn't use high-grade spirit stones as the main material to refine it.

As for Mo Juren, Yan Shi, Wang Shi, Han Xiaomei, Zhang Tie, and Xiao Mei, Chen Liang also allowed them to each select two magical artifacts from those sold over the past two years for self-defense.

On the other hand, while giving these new magical artifacts to Xin Ruyin, Mo Caihuan, and the other two women, Chen Liang also informed them of the impending invasion of Yue Kingdom by the demonic forces.

The source of the information was the image-recording bead that Chen Liang obtained by chance. The image it preserved recorded a Core Formation cultivator's prepared last words and part of the situation where he was chased by two Core Formation cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain.

The Core Formation cultivator was named Xu Xuan. He came from the Hidden Moon Sect and was an undercover agent hiding in the Spirit Beast Mountain.

In his last words, he mentioned that the demonic path was about to invade Yue Kingdom and that Spirit Beast Mountain had betrayed them and was purging its spies. He also requested that the cultivator who obtained the Recording Pearl return it to the Hidden Moon Sect, promising that the Hidden Moon Sect would reward him handsomely.

However, as a cultivator of Huangfeng Valley, Chen Liang had an obligation to first hand over the image-recording bead to the higher-ups of the sect for inspection.

Furthermore, it must be said that although the seven major sects claim to be closely connected, their open and covert struggles have never ceased. Sending spies to other sects is a common practice, but these spies are usually of poor aptitude and will not break through to the Core Formation stage.

Xu Xuan of the Hidden Moon Sect is an exception. He not only successfully formed his core through his own efforts, but also raised a level four eagle-like demon beast whose speed far exceeds that of ordinary core-forming cultivators.

In fact, Xu Xuan's identity would not have been exposed if a young, handsome spy from the Hidden Moon Sect who knew his identity had not been captured.

Unfortunately, Xu Xuan was eventually exposed and had to flee for his life. He was pursued by a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator and an early-stage Core Formation cultivator; Xu Xuan was only an early-stage Core Formation cultivator.

At the end of the video, Xu Xuan was already on his deathbed. In order to pass on the message, he had the dying eagle-like monster swallow the image-recording bead.

Xu Xuan is now most likely dead, but during the pursuit, he successfully severely injured the early-stage Core Formation cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain.

It seems that the early-stage Core Formation cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain can only resort to possession and rebuilding his cultivation.

Leaving aside the unfortunate Core Formation cultivator, after learning that the demonic path was about to invade Yue Kingdom, Mo Caihuan and the other two women hurriedly went to inform the rest of the Mo family, including Han Li, Han Xiaomei, and Zhang Tie.

Chen Liang then presented the image-recording bead to the sect leader, Zhong Lingdao.

Zhong Lingdao was also shocked after watching the image stored in the recording bead, and immediately asked Chen Liang about the origin of the recording bead. Chen Liang answered truthfully and showed it to Zhong Lingdao with the Wind Spirit Shuttle.

Although Zhong Lingdao was amazed by Chen Liang's exquisite weapon-refining skills, he had no time to think about anything else.

He swiftly sent out several specially made communication talismans, informing Linghu Laoguai, the Nascent Soul patriarch of Huangfeng Valley, and the four Core Formation cultivators in his sect, of the impending invasion of Yue Kingdom by the demonic path.

Upon receiving the telepathic message, the first to arrive at the sect leader's hall was naturally Linghu Laoguai, followed by Lei Wanhe, Hong Fu, Fengyun Zhenren, and Li Huayuan.

This was the first time Chen Liang had seen Linghu Laoguai. He had white hair and beard and looked old, but he still looked quite well.

Although Linghu Laoguai usually has an eccentric personality and is like a playful old man, he looked very serious when he arrived at the main hall and asked Zhong Lingdao and Chen Liang about the source of the information.

After Zhong Lingdao and Chen Liang explained the situation, Linghu Laoguai, Lei Wanhe, and the others had somewhat uncertain expressions.

Subsequently, Linghu Laoguai issued a gag order to Chen Liang and the others, and sent two Core Formation cultivators, Lei Wanhe and Fengyun Zhenren, to Jiang Kingdom and Chechi Kingdom to confirm the situation.

The Jiang Kingdom and the Chechi Kingdom serve as a buffer zone between the Yue Kingdom and the Demonic Path. If the Demonic Path wants to invade the Yue Kingdom, it must first conquer the Jiang Kingdom and the Chechi Kingdom. They should have already made preparations in advance.

Xu Xuan's last words also mentioned that the Jiang Kingdom and Chechi Kingdom had been infiltrated by the demonic path, so it was necessary for Lei Wanhe and Fengyun Zhenren, two relatively steady Core Formation cultivators, to go and investigate.

Linghu Laoguai himself went to the Hidden Moon Sect to confirm Xu Xuan's identity.
