Chapter 1350: Too Simple
As Su Jingzhen spoke, his aura of authority reached its peak.
The light of the Demon God enveloped him, and his demonic might surged to the heavens.
The pressure he exuded actually caused the fake Heavenly Ancient Demon King to falter for a moment.
But in the next instant, the Demon King-level aura of the other party surged once again.
It extended its right hand toward Su Jingzhen.
A massive burst of energy erupted from its right hand.
It still intended to crush Su Jingzhen with a single slap.
“Damn it!”
Su Jingzhen’s expression turned ugly.
Yet another bluff had fallen flat.
“This thing has self-awareness, but even after I said all that, it remains unmoved. How strange.”
Su Jingzhen immediately activated the Netherworld Ghost Technique and hastily retreated beyond the hundred-zhang range.
“Do I really have to thoroughly study the art of mechanical puppetry?
Although my comprehension is also unparalleled, tinkering with these things will probably take a lot of time, right?”
As he muttered to himself, Su Jingzhen felt a wave of melancholy.
It seemed that things had once again reached a deadlock.
“Little Green, imprint all the legacies about mechanical puppetry that we just collected for me.
Preferably translated into a version I can easily understand, like before.”
Su Jingzhen’s understanding of the Dao and similar concepts was almost zero.
But every time Little Green translated and transformed the information, his comprehension would skyrocket to a celestial level.
He could master things at an astonishing speed.
Just like with Bai Suzhen’s Chaos Calamity Light and the Immovable Tortoise Seal, it had been the same.
In the next moment, the light of the Dao swayed on Little Green’s body.
Beams of light instantly enveloped Su Jingzhen.
All the information about mechanical puppetry was imprinted into Su Jingzhen’s mind.
Little Green had indeed simplified it into a version that Su Jingzhen could understand almost at a glance.
Su Jingzhen sighed deeply in his heart.
With no other options, he could only follow the white-clad puppet’s suggestion and try to comprehend everything first.
Although Su Jingzhen wasn’t particularly interested in the art of mechanical puppetry, having an extra skill at this moment wasn’t a bad thing.
Su Jingzhen settled cross-legged just beyond the hundred-zhang range of the core palace.
As he continued to comprehend the art of mechanical puppetry, waves of corresponding Dao light began to emanate from his body.
Seeing this, the fake Heavenly Ancient Demon King standing at the palace entrance showed a flicker of movement in its stiff expression.
“Is it really him?”
A hoarse voice came from its mouth.
At this moment, the white-clad puppet that had appeared in You Yue’s palace earlier also materialized beside it.
“What if he truly comprehends it all?”
The white-clad puppet asked.
“What if? His swift mastery suggests he fits our master’s will—if someone can fully comprehend all of this, they naturally become our new master.
The legacy of this path has not been severed, which is a good thing. Moreover, his true identity seems to be the master of our former master. This is even more perfect.”
As it spoke, a hint of anticipation flickered in its eyes.
“But the art of mechanical puppetry is vast and profound. Even if his comprehension is exceptional and he’s making progress, this will inevitably be a long and arduous journey.
I’m not particularly optimistic.”
The white-clad puppet chimed in.
Hearing this, the puppet standing at the palace entrance didn’t respond.
But before long, both of their expressions gradually turned to disbelief.
They saw that the Dao light radiating from Su Jingzhen’s body was growing increasingly intense.
The light made him look like a small sun.
“Can progress like this really exist in reality?
The level of Dao light emanating from him now seems to have already reached the level our master required.”
“But the time is too short.
If it’s really this easy, then what was the point of all our previous efforts?”
The two puppets looked at each other.
Their eyes were filled with confusion.
Earlier, Su Jingzhen had tried to break through this place time and time again, only to be stopped by them.
But now, when Su Jingzhen followed their requirements, everything seemed so simple.
So what was the point of them stopping him earlier?
“Let’s wait and see.”
As they spoke, their gazes remained fixed on Su Jingzhen.
As time passed, the Dao light around Su Jingzhen grew even more intense.
Two hours later, even the two puppets could no longer look directly at him.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen stood up.
Su Jingzhen frowned slightly.
“The art of mechanical puppetry, after being interpreted by Little Green, seems a bit too simple for me.
But I feel like it shouldn’t be this easy.”
It was precisely because it was too simple that he lacked confidence.
As a result, he didn’t immediately try to break through the hundred-zhang range.
Instead, just outside the hundred-zhang range, he directly summoned the Ancient Desolate Demon King, the Earth Ancient Demon King, and the other five Demon Kings.
With the power of the world supporting them, he wasn’t afraid of their true spirits dissipating.
“This is just outside the hundred-zhang range, but let’s give it a try. I’m out of options.”
Su Jingzhen smiled wryly as he looked at the Ancient Desolate Demon King and the others.
The latter group was momentarily taken aback but didn’t say much.
They silently glanced at the two puppets standing at the palace entrance.
Their auras suddenly surged.
Then, the seven Demon Kings formed hand seals.
Spiritual runes emerged in the void.
The Primordial Awakening Array was instantly formed.
Waves of ancient, desolate energy swept forth.
The power emanating from it was immense.
It instantly spread toward the core palace.
Seeing this, the two puppets at the palace entrance were momentarily taken aback.
Then they smiled wryly and shook their heads.
“Since he’s already proven himself, why go through all this trouble?”
“He seems a bit lacking in confidence.”
As the two puppets spoke, the energy of the Primordial Awakening Array spread toward the palace entrance.
Then, they exchanged a glance and lightly waved their hands.
The runes on the palace doors lit up.
The doors swung open.
They were actively facilitating the process.
Seeing this, the Ancient Desolate Demon King and the others raised their eyebrows.
“Has the envoy already taken care of this?”
The Ancient Desolate Demon King and the others muttered.
But they didn’t ask further.
After all, they would do whatever Su Jingzhen asked of them.
Then, a powerful aura began to awaken within the palace.
It was none other than the Heavenly Ancient Demon King!
Sensing this aura, the two puppets at the entrance grew visibly excited.
Their bodies creaked and groaned.
At this moment, they could no longer suppress their auras.
Su Jingzhen was startled to discover that both of these puppets were at the Demon King level.
He couldn’t help but feel a wave of fear.
If the white-clad puppet had attacked them earlier in that palace, even with the Demon Warrior Legion present, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
“This is our master’s aura!
Our master can truly awaken once more!”
“Since they have this ability, we should have brought them here sooner!”
As the two puppets spoke, the Ancient Desolate Demon King and the others smiled at Su Jingzhen.
“Envoy, the palace doors are open, and the Heavenly Ancient Demon King has awakened.
Take us back now. We can reunite with the Heavenly Ancient Demon King in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.”
The Ancient Desolate Demon King and the others also knew that their Primordial Awakening Array hadn’t played much of a role this time.
Su Jingzhen once again stepped within the hundred-zhang range.
He looked at the two puppets.
But before he could say anything, the two puppets bowed to him of their own accord!
