Chapter 377: Three Methods to Counter the Minor Teleportation Talisman

Upon hearing the South Sea King's request, Shen Mo agreed without hesitation.

The South Sea King was clearly a reasonable dragon.

Long ago, he had prepared for the worst and sent his direct descendants away.

He had even gifted Shen Mo the Great Transformation Dragon Technique in advance, showing great sincerity.

Now, Shen Mo naturally had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, the South Sea Dragon had already become mortal enemies with Gu Ming.

Shen Mo had even more reason to accept these three.

As for how the dragons of the West Sea and East Sea would react, that was not within Shen Mo's considerations.

Other cultivators might still harbor illusions, thinking that the dragons of the West Sea and East Sea were merely friendly with Gu Ming and would remain neutral.

But Shen Mo had long known that these two sea dragons had already colluded with the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

The reason they hadn't openly broken with Jing Kingdom was simply a strategy of Gu Ming.

Is a warrior who brandishes weapons under the sun more fearsome?

Or is an assassin lurking in the shadows, constantly watching the battlefield, more fearsome?

"Does the South Sea King understand talismans?" Shen Mo suddenly asked.

The South Sea King was taken aback and laughed, "Why do you ask, young friend?"

Shen Mo smiled, "I happened to acquire a talisman and am quite curious about it."

The South Sea King casually replied, "Existing talismans are extremely rare nowadays, and most of them have been passed down from ancient times."

"As for those talismans, the majority come from the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect."

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow, "Lingbao Zhengfa Sect?"

The South Sea King nodded, "Indeed."

"That sect was one of the first established by humans, far older than most sects today."

"During that ancient era, the continent was dominated by demons and monsters, with almost no territory for humans."

"Now, the longest-existing sect should be the Great Snow Palace, but when the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect fell, the Great Snow Palace had not yet appeared."

"The founding ancestor of the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect was just an ordinary person who, by chance, obtained a heavenly scripture, and thus made his fortune with talismans, establishing the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect."

"During that period, the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect almost became a beacon for humanity, leading the resistance against the demons."

Shen Mo pondered, "What happened later? How did the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect disappear?"

The South Sea King sighed lightly, "The Lingbao Zhengfa Sect created too many talismans, allowing low-level cultivators to unleash high-level combat power through them."

"Naturally, they became a thorn in the side of the demons."

"The founding ancestor was ambushed and killed by the demons, the heavenly scripture vanished, and the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect gradually declined."

"Then, it took only a little over two hundred years for it to completely vanish."

Shen Mo nodded slightly.

Such short-lived sects were not uncommon.

"Do you know of the Minor Teleportation Talisman?" Shen Mo asked again.

The South Sea King nodded, "Of course, the Minor Teleportation Talisman is one of the most popular talismans among the many created by the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect."

"This talisman only requires the infusion of spiritual power to teleport at least five thousand miles to a random location."

"The more spiritual power infused, the farther the teleportation distance."

"It was the go-to escape tool for human cultivators back then."

"It was also the talisman most hated by the demons."

"Have you obtained a Minor Teleportation Talisman?" he asked with a smile.

Shen Mo nodded slightly.

Since he was asking how to counter the Minor Teleportation Talisman, there was no need to lie about it.

Shen Mo countered, "How is the Minor Teleportation Talisman used? Can it be interfered with, interrupted, or countered?"

The South Sea King laughed, "The method of using talismans is the same; you just need to infuse them with spiritual power."

"As for whether the Minor Teleportation Talisman can be interfered with, I can tell you with certainty, yes."

"Moreover, there are at least three methods to interfere with the Minor Teleportation Talisman."

Shen Mo's heart stirred, "Please enlighten me, South Sea King!"

The South Sea King nodded and spoke seriously, "First, there is demonic energy."

"I heard you killed a demon in Jiangzhou, so you should know the terror of demonic energy."

"The essence of demonic energy far surpasses spiritual and blood energy, thus it counters both."

"Within demonic territory, the range of the Minor Teleportation Talisman is greatly reduced, possibly to just a few hundred or even tens of miles."

"If a demon locks down your entire body with demonic energy, the effectiveness of the Minor Teleportation Talisman will be severely limited."

"Second, there are spatial arrays."

"As long as a spatial array is used to lock down a certain area in advance, the Minor Teleportation Talisman will be directly disabled, and no amount of spiritual power infusion will help."

"However, spatial arrays are extremely difficult to create. The larger the area they cover, the harder they are to make. To my knowledge, there is only one array called the Black Tortoise Chaos Void Array that can lock down a space within a hundred-mile radius. There is no larger spatial array than this."

After hearing these two methods, Shen Mo couldn't help but frown inwardly.

Demonic energy—he certainly didn't have that.

Spatial arrays—they were too difficult to find, and he didn't have one capable of covering a large area either.

The South Sea King smiled, "The first two methods are almost impossible to come by nowadays, so you need not worry about being countered by them."

Shen Mo's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "What about the third method to counter the Minor Teleportation Talisman?"

The South Sea King nodded, "The Void-Locking Talisman."

"Void-Locking Talisman?"

The South Sea King smiled, "This talisman was initially created by the founding ancestor of the Lingbao Zhengfa Sect to counter demons capable of tearing through the void."

"Later, cultivators discovered that this talisman could also have the same effect on the Minor Teleportation Talisman, though its effectiveness against the Major Teleportation Talisman is extremely limited. If there is a significant gap in cultivation levels between the users, it can be said to have almost no effect."

Shen Mo's eyes lit up.

The Void-Locking Talisman!

It seemed he might be able to work with this.

"Are there many Void-Locking Talismans in the world?" Shen Mo asked again.

The South Sea King laughed heartily, "Young friend, there's no need to be so cautious. Talismans are rare to begin with; how would ordinary cultivators have the chance to obtain them?"

"The Minor Teleportation Talisman is already very rare, and the Void-Locking Talisman is even rarer."

"To my knowledge, it seems only the Sword Sovereign of Jing Kingdom has preserved some rare talismans."

"The Sword Sovereign has a close relationship with you and naturally wouldn't act against you, so you can rest assured."

Shen Mo was even more delighted upon hearing this.

The Sword Sovereign!

He hadn't expected him to collect talismans as well.

How thoughtful.

"Good, thank you, Senior," Shen Mo said sincerely, cupping his hands in gratitude.

The other party had been so patient in answering his questions, so it was only right to express his thanks.

"No problem. We may need to rely on you a lot in the future, young friend Shen Mo," the South Sea King also bowed to Shen Mo, showing no airs of a dragon who had lived for thousands of years.

After seeing them off, Shen Mo flashed away, soaring through the air toward the northeast.

His speed was extremely fast.

In five days, he reached the border between Wuzhou and Yuzhou.

After another three days, he arrived at Jade Sea City.

Upon arriving in Jade Sea City, he didn't need to search carefully before hearing a familiar voice from the side.

"Well, well, young friend, what brings you to Jade Sea City to see me? Shouldn't you be diligently cultivating in Wuzhou?"

"Wait, your aura now... it feels much stronger than a few years ago. Is it just my imagination?"

Shen Mo turned toward the direction of the voice.

It was none other than the Sword Sovereign, Ji Ping, dressed in extremely plain clothes, looking like a neighborly old man.

Ji Ping was currently holding braised beef in his left hand and a wine gourd in his right, looking at Shen Mo in surprise as if seeing this young man for the first time.
