Invisible?

"Are you sure those Nascent Soul from the Snow Region will definitely follow you?" Zi Yan looked at Zhang Yang with confusion. "You must have had a lot of trouble to obtain those Identity Mark. What if they run off with them? Won't you regret it?"

She genuinely didn't understand why Zhang Yang did this.

Those are Identity Mark that represent one's Fortune, and they just generously gave away ten of them to someone else?

Zhang Yang glanced at Zi Yan and still explained, "I just casually planted a seed; I don't know if it will take root and sprout."

If the five Nascent Soul from the Snow Region could truly raise a group of people, the rewards would be immense.

Even if the five Nascent Soul from the Snow Region took away several Identity Mark, so what?

While these Identity Mark weren't easy to obtain, they weren't particularly difficult to acquire either. Compared to the rewards, it was a very worthwhile investment.

"How many people have you recruited from other places?" Zi Yan asked again.

"What do you think?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically, without telling Zi Yan the truth. "But you, you heard it just now, didn't you? Those Nascent Soul cultivators from the Snow Region are afraid of revealing their identities, so we need to dispel their concerns."

This involves your Secret Method for evading Spiritual Sense detection.

If you're willing to give it up, I'll give you a big credit. When there are great benefits to be had, I can share some with you."

There are quite a few formations and Law Treasure that can evade Spiritual Sense.

However, it is very difficult to implement an array, especially on such a small mask.

As for the Law Treasure used to evade Spiritual Sense detection, that Law Treasure must be of a very high level; Zhang Yang couldn't possibly use so many materials to refine just a mask.

Therefore, the method to evade Spiritual Sense fell upon Zi Yan's Secret Method.

Zi Yan hesitated, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhang Yang didn't urge them on, and continued leading the team forward.

After weighing her options for a long time, Zi Yan finally said, "I can hand over the Secret Method."

"What are the conditions?" Zhang Yang asked.

Zi Yan slowly said, "Take me back to the Heavenly Profound Sect on the Azure Cloud Continent!"

Although she has escaped the trouble of the Myriad Spirits Sect for now, if she leaves the Prodigy Battlefield, Su Mingyang and the others will definitely take her back to the Myriad Spirits Continent. At that time, she will be in great trouble.

Although the founder was outside the Prodigy Battlefield, she did not believe that the founder could contend with the people of the Myriad Spirits Sect.

To contend with the Myriad Spirits Sect, one would need an ancient Azure Cloud Sect like the High Antiquity Cloud Sect.

She believed that the Azure Cloud Sect had such strength; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to send Zhang Yang and Situ Mingyue to the Prodigy Battlefield.

Zhang Yang glanced at Zi Yan, considered it for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

"This is Secret Method I obtained from a tortoise shell!" Zi Yan handed over her Secret Method. "There was a mysterious pattern on that tortoise shell that allowed Spiritual Sense to pass through it without hindrance. Later, I discovered that as long as I used spiritual power to form that pattern, I could evade the detection of Spiritual Sense. That's the origin of the entire Secret Method."

"Daoist priest, give it a try!" Zhang Yang said to Qingxu.

Qingxu immediately began refining the weapon. He simply crafted a mask and then branded the pattern onto it.

After he put on the mask and activated the patterns, when Zhang Yang and the others used their Spiritual Sense to examine Qingxu's face, their Spiritual Sense passed directly through the area covered by the mask, without even touching Qingxu's Spiritual Sense.

Zhang Yang found the pattern truly magical, and he curiously asked Qingxu, "When your Spiritual Sense passed through that pattern, did you feel anything?"

"Yes!" Qingxu nodded, taking off his mask and looking at the pattern on it.

He was very interested in the mysteries hidden within.

Zhang Yang, however, was not interested in the mysteries within the patterns; he was more interested in the patterns themselves.

He said to Qingxu with some excitement, "If all these patterns were refined into a suit of armor, wouldn't it become 'invisible' to ordinary cultivators after they put on the armor?"

If that's the case, then this pattern will play a very important role.

Once a cultivator gains Spiritual Sense, they almost always place great faith in Spiritual Sense perception.

Especially when they can't see or can't see clearly, they often use their Spiritual Sense to investigate.

Now, wouldn't an armor that can evade Spiritual Sense detection be equivalent to invisibility?

At night, when the cultivators couldn't see, a person wearing patterned armor appeared and probably walked right up to most of them without them noticing.

This is simply an incredible tool for nighttime assassinations!

Qingxu's eyes lit up as well; he quickly understood Zhang Yang's meaning.

This person is truly a pragmatist!

While he was still trying to decipher the secrets of the patterns, this person directly put them to use.

"I have to give it a try!" Qingxu said excitedly. "If we succeed in our research, we can storm into the other strongholds' lairs and wipe them out one by one."

Qingxu immediately took the materials off the Tiger Demon's back and began to tinker with them.

Zhang Yang turned to Zi Yan and said, "If our research succeeds, besides definitely bringing you back to the Azure Cloud Continent, there are great benefits you'll be allowed to receive twice."

"Thank you!" Zi Yan quickly expressed her gratitude.

She was feeling genuinely conflicted. Was the difference between people really that great?

She'd had this pattern for years, but could only come up with one way to hide it.

Zhang Yang actually thought of using this to forge armor, and then planned to use this armor to ambush others...

How did you come up with that?

She felt that Zhang Yang was full of mysteries and was silently watching Zhang Yang, wanting to see Zhang Yang clearly.

Seeing Zi Yan's expression, Situ Mingyue misunderstood and glared at Zi Yan with fiery eyes.

On the contrary, Zhang Yang was looking at Qingxu with excitement.

If they can successfully develop this armor, they will need to create their stealth squad.

Once he returned to the Azure Cloud Sect, he immediately began mass production and created an invisible army!

Ideally, we could also add such patterns to flying boats, creating Invisible Flying Ship... If we could research and develop invisible flying boats that even Spiritual Sense couldn't detect, then they would be completely invisible.

If we fly directly to other sects, they probably won't even notice us! That would be wonderful!

Qingxu forged a suit of armor and then engraved tortoise shell patterns on it.

At this point, a problem arose.

The tortoise shell pattern is very effective in an area the size of a mask. However, if the area is too large, the tortoise shell pattern becomes ineffective.

Qingxu shook his head. "The patterns are too scattered; they cannot evade the detection of Spiritual Sense."

"What if we pieced together the armor like a tortoise shell, using pieces of material the size of a mask?" Zhang Yang suggested.

Qingxu immediately changed the structure of his armor, and at that moment, the effect appeared. However, new drawbacks also emerged.

The gaps between each "armor plate" are also not obstructed by Spiritual Sense perception.

"It still doesn't work. There are gaps in the spiritual patterns between the armor plates, preventing them from connecting and blocking Spiritual Sense from penetrating."

Zhang Yang frowned, looked at Zi Yan, and asked, "Did you find any other tortoise shells? Did you find any runic connections between the different tortoise shells...? Or, why don't you just give me that piece of tortoise shell, and we'll study it!"

Zi Yan smiled helplessly, "Outside the Prodigy Battlefield, I can give it to you."

Zhang Yang was very excited. "Okay, get out here and give it to me! You'll get another big credit for this!"

If this can be researched, stealth forces will truly have emerged.
