How should the treasure be used?

    What kind of effect does it have?

    Chen Yun sat there in deep thought, having not figured out how to use it himself, naturally did not know the specific effect of this treasure, only knew that can take the divine general away.

    Throughout his past life and this one, he had never come into contact with any treasure. Now, having just obtained his first treasure in life, he naturally had no idea how to command it.

    Normal operation of the artifact is inputting true qi or controlling with spiritual consciousness.

    For instance, the flying needle, just needs to attach spiritual consciousness on it and then control it as if using one's arm.

    For example, with the tiger skin armor, once true qi is infused into it, it will fit on the body and provide powerful defense.

    There are also different types of artifacts, and the red gold sword is not the one that directly exerts power. It's more like enhancing the power of its own law. There is also the copper bell that controls spirit, which can be injected into spiritual consciousness and shaken to spread its sound, controlling ghosts and wild spirits nearby.

    No matter how different the functions of these artifacts may be, the methods of using them are consistent—they all involve infusing true qi or spiritual consciousness, which is also known as magical power.

    Then, why can't he control the artifact no matter how much true qi or spiritual consciousness he injects?

    Chen Yun feels he has overlooked something. If he can pay attention to it, maybe he can operate and use it.

    "Hold on!"

    He thought of another artifact that didn't require input of true qi or spiritual consciousness.

    That artifact is precisely the "fine dog" weapon forged for him by Lü Dongbin in Guanyin and Guan Yu's Temple.

    "To use the 'Fine Dog' artifact, I just need to call out a 'quick'."

    Chen Yun carefully recalled, "Daoist magic and artifacts, not only the 'Fine Dog' artifact to call out 'quick' when driving, but also many other spells are like this because 'quick' is a starting incantation for some spells and artifacts. In addition, Daoist starting incantations are not just 'quick', but also 'as the law', 'hurry as the law', 'Tai Supreme Old Man hasty as the law', some also add the words of "seal" or "imperial decree" at the end to indicate that the incantation must be executed in a hurry without any error."

    These incantations are not just spoken randomly.

    The incantations and spells in this world are all based on the rules of the earth and sky.

    Since the treasure contains Dao Qi and possesses the power of the rules of heaven and earth, does it also need to call out this type of incantation?

    Chen Yun decided to try, and he tightly held the treasure, softly calling out a "quick."

    The treasure had no reaction.

    He called out "seal" and "imperial decree" again, but there was still no reaction.

    Chen Yun tried calmly, "Supreme Ancient Lord, quickly as the law!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, the flag shone brightly with a strong rainbow glow.

    Started!

    The artifact really started!

    Chen Yun couldn't help feeling a bit excited in his heart. It's true that to use an artifact, you need the corresponding incantation!

    And this artifact that's like a flag, its starting incantation is "Supreme Ancient Lord, quick as the law!"

    As to why it is "Supreme Ancient Lord, quick as the law!", he estimated that it was because in this realm of heaven and earth, the Old Lord represents the laws of heaven and earth. Since the artifact contains Dao Qi and has a trace of the power of the laws of heaven and earth, it naturally falls under the jurisdiction of the Old Lord. Therefore, reciting "Supreme Ancient Lord, quick as the law!" can activate it.

    Looking at the colorful glow covering an area of about three or four meters around himself.

    Chen Yun still couldn't find the trace of Qin Liang and Ji Xin.

    Just now, Qin Liang and Ji Xin were engulfed by this colorful light, so why can't they be found now that the light has appeared?

    He finds it strange.

    Does that mean the activation and control of the artifact are to be separated?

    Chen Yun tried reciting incantations like "Supreme Ancient Lord, quick as the law!" and "As the law!", but there was still no reaction.

    Chen Yun began to recite other incantations, "Quick!"

    The colorful light suddenly surged, as if searching for a target.

    Yes, Chen Yun felt that the flag was sending him a message, as if to lock onto a target.

    Around him, there seemed to be no other targets besides the white monkey.

    He blinked his eyes, and looked at the white monkey with ill intentions.

    The white monkey seemed to be unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was still squatted there, "chattering" in its peculiar way.

    At the same time, Chen Yun locked onto the white monkey with his mind and recited another "quick" word.

    Then...

    Hmm, there was no reaction at all.

    "What's going on?" Chen Yun was confused, and tried another incantation, "Seal!"

    In the next moment, the colorful light suddenly split into a beam and shot towards the white monkey at high speed!

    At the sight of this, the white monkey was startled and quickly jumped to the side to dodge and avoid it.

    The colorful light hit the ground and instantly captured a cube-shaped piece of soil measuring about three or four meters on each side, which was then rolled back into the flag and disappeared immediately.

    The white monkey, however, seemed to be angered and was growling at him from the other side.

    Chen Yun ignored the white monkey, guessing that he knew how to use the flag.

    The starting incantation is "Supreme Ancient Lord, quick as the law!"

    As for the use after the opening, other incantations are needed to exert its effect. For example, "quick" is used to control the colorful light. "Seal", as the name implies, should be used to let the colorful light move towards and engulf whatever is locked in sight. If it succeeds in engulfing something, it will be absorbed into the flag.

    "If things can be sealed inside, they should also be able to come out."

    Chen Yun pondered for a moment, and tried to recite the "imperial edict" incantation.

    In the next moment, he "saw" the scenery inside the flag in his mind.

    Inside was an independent space that seemed endless upon a glance, filled with endless light and mist, much like a sea of clouds.

    Among the "cloud sea", the cube-shaped soil block that had just been absorbed was suspended, along with Qin Liang and Ji Xin, who looked dazed.

    These two looked like they had lost their senses, and it was unclear what had happened to them.

    Chen Yun pondered to himself, "How can I release Qin Liang and Ji Xin?"

    As soon as his thought rose, the colorful light surged, and it threw out Qin Liang and Ji Xin.

    Oh!

    It seems that the "imperial edict" incantation is a trick to control the internal of the flag. As long as it is opened, he can release the things inside himself.

    Chen Yun was enlightened at once, and quickly looked at Qin Liang and Ji Xin, who were thrown out, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

    At this moment, Qin Liang and Ji Xin seemed to have not fully regained their senses; their spiritual bodies were sitting on the ground in a daze.

    Chen Yun's heart tightened, thinking that the two divine generals might have been rendered silly by the flag.

    Fortunately, this situation didn't last long, and Qin Liang and Ji Xin's "eyes" gradually became clear.

    "Master."

    "Master."

    The two quickly got up and greeted.

    Seeing that they had regained their senses, Chen Yun hurried up to ask, "You seemed dazed and confused just now; are you hurt?"

    Qin Liang looked somewhat confused and said, "What just happened?"

    He seemed to not have responded immediately.

    Ji Xin furrowed his brow and said, "Just before, I felt a force that I couldn't resist, and then I lost my senses. I was in a daze."

    After hearing their answers, Chen Yun guessed what the flag's function was.

    As expected, the function of this flag is to incorporate things inside it, whether it be spiritual beings or physical objects. However, it seems to prefer spiritual beings, as can be seen from the fact that the colored light automatically absorbed Qin Liang and Ji Xin at the beginning. As for the cube-shaped soil block, it had to be controlled by incantation.

    Of course, the flag is not just about trapping spiritual beings. It also causes them to lose their senses and become dazed.

    As for whether it can make beings with physical bodies lose their senses instantly, Chen Yun hasn't tested that yet.

    From this point, it seems that the function of this flag is quite large but not so important.

    Why so?

    The reason it seems to have a significant function is that it appears to be able to contain anything struck by the colorful light.

    However, its significance is not so great because it only works when it "hits" the target, and it is not known whether it can also take away the mental state of beings with physical bodies.

    "It's no wonder that the flag has a 'trapped' character on it. The function of this artifact is indeed to trap others."

    Chen Yun pondered slightly.

    Just as he was pondering, Qin Liang suddenly exclaimed in terror: "Master, I feel like my own strength seems to have diminished significantly?"

    Ji Xin also exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, I feel like my strength has been taken away by at least ten percent. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the source. As long as I absorb more merits and sacrifices later, I can recover."

    Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, "Do you guys feel that your strength has been greatly weakened?"

    Qin Liang nodded and said, "Yes, Master. I have a feeling of exhaustion."

    Ji Xin added, "It's like something was continuously stripping away my strength during the daze."

    Hmm?

    Could it be that this flag's function is not only to trap people?

    Chen Yun blinked and once again focused his attention on the colorful flag inside.

    He saw the soil block suspended in the "cloud sea" being rapidly dissolved and getting smaller and smaller.

    The soil block was dissolving at a relatively fast speed. In a short time, it had shrunk by about half.

    It seems that this flag has a decomposing effect after trapping people inside.

    Chen Yun secretly thought: "When Qin Liang and Ji Xin were trapped just now, why didn't they immediately decompose, just as the soil block did? Perhaps it's because they are stronger and have more abundant energy?"

    This should be the reason.

    The soil block contains less energy, so it is quickly decomposed.

    While Qin Liang and Ji Xin's powers are equivalent to that of medium-level mages, the energy they contain cannot be compared to that of the soil block, so the decomposition process is slower.

    Based on the information provided by Ji Xin earlier, Chen Yun could deduce that when they were absorbed into the flag just now, it took less than five minutes for them to lose a tenth of their power. If they had stayed in there for fifty minutes, they might have been completely destroyed.

    As long as there is sufficient time, even spiritual beings who have cultivated their own Qi to the level of an upper-level mage can be completely broken down by the flag.

    Even powerful cultivators, even if their bodies are trapped inside, will be destroyed and disappear by the flag.

    If that's the case, then this flag is indeed formidable.

    Chen Yun thinks that as long as he can find a way to hit Yin Wuji with the colored light, he will definitely die.

    From this analysis, Chen Yun realizes that he now has a chance to defeat Yin Wuji.

    The prerequisite is that the colored light can hit the target.

    Whatever the case may be, Chen Yun understands clearly that this flag is a precious treasure that can give him the ability to challenge stronger opponents!

    He satisfiedly put the flag away, and told Qin Liang and Ji Xin to rest in the Gathering Qi Pearl for a while.

    There wasn't time to offer incense to restore the power of the two divine generals, so Chen Yun hurried on his journey. On one hand, he wanted to see if he could obtain something else in the cave heaven. On the other hand, he needed to hurry and reach Dongji Immortal as soon as possible. He had already been delayed for more than ten days. Who knew if Dongji Immortal might get impatient and notify his teacher that he had disappeared, which could bring unnecessary trouble, such as his teacher mobilizing his own connections to find deities to look for him.

    Chen Yun continued to walk forward.

    Unexpectedly, the white monkey "squeak squeak" followed him.

    Chen Yun took a step, and the white monkey followed right behind him, taking a step as well.

    He stopped, and the white monkey also stopped, acting like a shadow.

    Chen Yun naturally noticed this, but helplessly turned his head to look at the white monkey and said, "What are you following me for?"

    The white monkey pointed to the storage ring where Chen Yun kept the flag and kept calling out, as if to say "flag here, monkey here."

    Chen Yun has communicated with the white monkey a few times and can roughly understand its meaning, "You have to be with this flag?"

    The white monkey nodded.

    Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh and cry, "I have to take this flag away. If you want to follow, then you can follow me all the time."

    Upon hearing this, the white monkey's face lit up with a happy expression, and it kept squeaking and rolling over on its back, as if it was very happy that Chen Yun was willing to take it out.

    Chen Yun also didn't bother to drive it away, as the little guy had no ill intent now. If it was willing to follow, he would treat it as a pet.

    Although this pet is already fierce at an early age.

    Chen Yun was thinking, if he brought it out and raised it to adulthood, it might become even more fierce. At that time, it could be a good force.

    Alright, I'll just keep it as a pet.
