Chapter 901: Eighth-Rank Puppet Technique
Chapter 901: Eighth-Rank Puppet Technique
Heavenly Water Pavilion.
In the cave abode with the richest immortal qi.
Fang Xi sat cross-legged, displaying the spoils of his kill of Gui Xu Zi from today.
What first caught his eye was a jade gui, with black and white qi intertwined.
“The Two Modes Jade Gui, an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, with unparalleled defense. . . ”
He immediately took a liking to it upon sight, deciding then and there to use it for his main body.
Besides this, there was also a puppet, which should be the ‘Cang Ming Zi’ mentioned by Qing Xu Tong Zi, of eighth-rank level.
“According to rumor, this Gui Xu Zi’s Daoist Companion should have perished under a lightning tribulation. Now it seems the rumor was mistaken; Cang Ming Zi did not perish under the lightning tribulation, but was secretly harmed by Gui Xu Zi? ”
“It seems, then, that Gui Xu Zi felt the human race’s fortune was declining and was preparing to jump ship? With his cultivation, if he were to become a rogue cultivator, he could go anywhere in the entire Earthly Immortal World, and perhaps the demons and alien races would even treat him as an honored guest. ”
“Did this person act today because he wanted to capture us all and refine us into puppets, or was he coveting the great fortuitous opportunities on my person? ”
“After all, as soon as I broke through, I could contend with, or even slay, veteran Mahayana cultivators. Besides my heaven-defying talent, there must also be supreme fortuitous opportunities worthy of Mahayana cultivators’ coveting! ”
Fang Xi thought for a long time, but with no clue, he stopped dwelling on it.
Gui Xu Zi clearly cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, so whatever he did was not surprising.
However, the reaction of Qing Xu Tong Zi and the two other Mahayana cultivators when they saw hundreds of Integration and tens of thousands of Void Amalgamation cultivators made Fang Xi unable to help but laugh.
Recalling it now, he still found it quite interesting.
‘The existence of this batch of Shinto cultivators is enough to prove that even if I now purge the entire human race’s high ranks, there are still people who can quickly take their place. . . ’
‘This is why Qing Xu Tong Zi and the two other Mahayana cultivators completely submitted, because I truly would overturn the table. . . ’
With their highest combat power unable to defeat him, and their middle ranks capable of being entirely replaced, the current Fang Xi was the uncrowned king of the human race!
He pondered for a moment, then opened Gui Xu Zi’s cave-heaven treasure.
He saw that this cave-heaven treasure was not very large; within a primordial chaos, there was only a floating island, upon which stood several houses.
The largest among them was stuffed full of immortal jade.
Fang Xi went to another room and saw Immortal Abode secret seals gathering one after another, forming a milky-white light curtain.
Within the light curtain, resplendent treasures floated in mid-air, each manifesting unusual phenomena and radiance.
In front, a long bronze table stood quietly, upon which were arrayed jade slips, and even Immortal Abode secret manuals.
He picked up a jade slip, and as his Divine Consciousness entered it, he immediately saw a secret art—the ‘Spirit Slaying Thunder Dispelling Spirit Essence Secret Tome’!
“It is a tribulation-crossing secret art. Although it offers little help to Mahayana cultivators, Integration cultivators should dream of it. . . ”
Fang Xi extended his hand, entering the light curtain, and grabbed a flying cone overflowing with lightning.
On the cone, circle after circle of ancient patterns lit up, carrying an ancient aura.
“A Thunder Transformation Treasure? ”
“Indeed, most of the collection of this top-tier Mahayana cultivator of the human race is related to crossing tribulations, isn’t it? ”
Fang Xi shook his head.
He did not want to cultivate into someone like Gui Xu Zi, who had simply cultivated a living person into a stone.
Or rather—a puppet with only one goal.
This Gui Xu Zi truly stopped at nothing in order to cross tribulation and ascend to immortality.
“Like this. . . even if one becomes an immortal, what’s the point? ”
“Or perhaps. . . the joy of immortals is something I cannot imagine? ”
Fang Xi stroked his chin, his Divine Consciousness sweeping over the jade slips on the bronze long table one by one. A hint of pleasant surprise finally appeared on his face as he picked up two jade slips.
With his current discernment, what could catch his eye were naturally top-grade items.
One of them was the ‘Luan Bird Life Substitution Art’. Don’t think this art is useless against the Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light; however, if encountering other Mahayana cultivators’ trump cards or even curse-killing arts, it should be able to save one’s life.
It was a pity that this secret art required cultivating related cultivation methods to be cast. Fang Xi took it, preparing to see if he could make some improvements to it.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the second jade slip.
This jade slip was crafted to resemble a bamboo slip, strung together with golden threads, and bore ancient Immortal Abode secret seals.
Fang Xi distinguished it for a moment, finally making out some clues:
“‘Xuan Ji Mi Can’. . . It’s actually a puppet art, at least an eighth-rank puppet art, or even higher? ”
This ‘Xuan Ji Mi Can’ was a puppet treasure manual, and its rank was the highest Fang Xi had ever seen!
All the text within was written in Immortal family secret seals; just comprehending it would require a long time.
Furthermore, it contained countless methods for processing various materials, puppet key component structures, and even core crafting techniques. . . To describe it as ‘vast as the ocean’ would not be an exaggeration in the slightest.
Fang Xi casually flipped through a few pages and saw a puppet: “The Myriad Tribulation Puppet. . . refined using a Mahayana body combined with a forbidden Nascent Soul. . . Can it offset part of a Mahayana Immortal Lightning Tribulation? ”
“As expected, this Gui Xu Zi harbored ill intentions. Not only did he refine his own Daoist Companion into a puppet, he even set his sights on our bodies. . . Truly shameless. ”
As he read the introduction to the Myriad Tribulation Puppet, a hint of satisfaction couldn't help but appear on his face, and he looked at the Cang Ming Zi beside him.
The higher the rank of the puppet, the more difficult it was to control.
Even though he had obtained this puppet before, he couldn't make it display its maximum power.
But now, after obtaining the design schematics, everything was different.As long as he refined it a little, breaking the imprints and restrictions left by Gui Xu Zi, he should then be able to control this puppet!
“Originally, I thought that after formations, it would be the talisman arts path that would first break through to eighth-rank. . . Now it seems, puppet craftsmanship still cannot be neglected. ”
Fang Xi murmured softly, then suddenly, his eyebrow twitched. He formed a hand seal with one hand, and a restriction within the cave abode disappeared without a trace.
Five-colored mist swirled as a veiled female cultivator walked in from the doorway.
After seeing Fang Xi, a hint of disbelief immediately appeared on her face, and then she bowed gracefully: “This humble one, Ji Fei Xue, greets Senior Fang. Congratulations, Senior Fang, on advancing to Mahayana! ”
In fact, when she first heard this news, Ji Fei Xue simply couldn’t believe it.
But as Five Elements Child and Old Ghost Meng’s disciples were all captured, she finally gradually accepted the reality, and then there was a hint of secret joy in her heart.
“No need to be polite. . . You can call me ‘Qing He Zi’ as usual. . . ”
Fang Xi smiled slightly.
This title, Qing He Zi, was not bad, and he chose to continue using it.
And after throwing out Old Ghost Meng’s life-bound magic treasure, he hadn’t thought of hiding his identity anymore.
With his current strength, what did it matter if all his aliases were exposed?
“Lord Qing He Zi. . . ”
Ji Fei Xue, however, dared not be negligent.
Although they had a fleeting connection, this Qing He Zi was now a Mahayana cultivator!
Even Qing Xu Tong Zi had to admit inferiority, and he might now already be the human race’s number one cultivator!
And there were countless Integration and Void Amalgamation cultivators as his wings, currently enforcing martial law in Tianyuan City, isolating inside and outside.
Such power and strength. . . how could she remain calm?
What’s more, most female cultivators admired those with profound cultivation and astonishing power, and Fang Xi was now precisely the human race’s number one, with his true appearance being incomparably handsome.
In Ji Fei Xue’s gaze towards Fang Xi, she couldn’t help but carry hints of tenderness. . .
“A pseudo-immortal vein has also been arranged here. This is excellent. ”
Fang Xi, however, was too lazy to rekindle old flames and directly began to instruct: “Your previous pulling formation was well done. . . This time, similarly, use this pseudo-immortal vein as the origin to set up an immortal array! ”
“Could it be the Nine Serene Sand River Grand Array? ” Ji Fei Xue’s eyes lit up.
The last great battle of Tianyuan City, that array had left an extremely deep impression on her.
If there was assistance from this immortal array this time, perhaps the human race would still have hope?
At this moment, on the brink of extinction, most cultivators, regardless of their previous thoughts, at least did not wish for the decline of the human race.
“No. . . ”
Fang Xi said, “What I intend to set up is the ‘Nine Bends Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array’! ”
His External Avatar exploring that Great Thousand World was fraught with danger; it would be better to call it back first and set up this great array.
At that time, by completely annihilating the demon race and alien race Mahayana cultivators, the Earthly Immortal World could be settled in one battle.
“This war of four races is finally about to draw to a close. ”
Fang Xi gazed into the distance, his expression profound. . .
...
Outside Tianyuan City.
Countless great camps of the demon race and alien races stretched endlessly.
Various spirit boats, flying pavilions, warships, and controlled beasts. . . were densely packed, suspended in mid-air.
Voids opened in various places, from which various powerful auras emanated.
Countless restrictions intersected, forming a terrifying array both inside and outside the military camp.
Even if a Mahayana cultivator broke into such an array, surrounded and attacked by many of the same rank, they would likely never return.
“What happened to Tianyuan City? ”
At this moment, within a certain void, the True Spirit Phoenix said with dissatisfaction.
Previously, the hidden contacts within Tianyuan City could occasionally transmit news, but ever since that Starry Sky Array enveloped Tianyuan City, neither the demon race nor the alien alliance were horrified to discover that the spies they had previously planted had not transmitted any news.
The entire Tianyuan City seemed to have turned into a black hole, devouring everything from the outside.
With the complete purging and replacement of Shinto cultivators trained to be fully isolated, no matter how the demon race and alien races had previously arranged things, it all became empty talk.
Before the great war, this scene clearly made this True Spirit-level existence feel a slight ominous premonition in his heart.
“The human race being able to contend with our race until now naturally has quite a lot of hidden strength. . . ”
The True Spirit Black Tortoise appeared, his voice heavy like a mountain: “As far as this old one knows, among them there is a set of ‘Heaven Extinction Earth Annihilation Array Diagram’. If an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure is used as the array core and sacrificed to explode as a whole, its power is truly heaven-destroying and earth-shattering; even an Eight-Tribulation Mahayana cultivator might directly perish. . . ”
“No matter! ”
Accompanied by a five-element divine light that pierced through heaven and earth, the Five Elements Qilin slowly walked out, a strange armor cloaking its body.
This armor was semi-transparent like glazed tile, radiating five colors, completely enveloping the giant Qilin body.
“The Heaven’s Sorrow Five Elements Armor. . . my race’s most powerful Immortal Abode Rare Treasure. . . ”
The Phoenix spread its wings and said with great joy: “This time. . . we will surely utterly defeat the human race! ”
