Chapter 183 A Small Test of the Puppet

In Wangjiafang City, the inner demon Ke Luo left the Wang family's land and came to the peripheral city despite Wang Boshang's newly promoted Danjie identity.

In a pavilion, I saw Snow Pill of the same clan.

"You are brave enough. You dared to stay after the riot in the Wang family last time. Aren't you worried that those old guys who transformed into gods will come out to find you?"

Corot fiddled with the tea cup in his hand nonchalantly:

"The human race gods are busy looking for opportunities to ascend, so how can they pay attention to us, the remnants of the demon race.

"How is the inner demon core that I took back last time? Is Lord Hut satisfied with it?"

Xuedan nodded:

“Although the inner demon core was damaged a lot, it was of extremely high grade after all, and the remaining spiritual power allowed Lord Hutt to repair a lot of cross-border damage.

"It will take a few more years of cultivation to fully recover."

"That's good, it won't be in vain for all my hard work."

"Speaking of which, how is the contact with the person you met who is suspected to be from the same race?"

Corot shook his head:

"The other party seems to be busy with something. I have only seen him once in ten years, and he was in a hurry. He drank two cups of tea before saying goodbye. There was no chance to test him."

"Lord Hutt said that it is not easy for my inner demons to cross the border. They are few in number, and it is difficult to compare with the inner demons and bone demons.

"If he is really the inner demon or the descendant of the inner demon, he must fight for it."

Corot nodded:

"I understand."

…

One month later, everyone from Wei Zhong gathered at Yunduan Mountain. Under the leadership of Huang Yunqi, a fourth-level weapon refiner, the final fourth-level puppet refining began.

If it fails this time, there will be no chance in a short time. Gai Yin Yu Tianze brought back only the last portion of the spiritual materials.

If you fail, there will be no second chance.

Everyone was immersed in the puppet refining process, and four years passed.

During this period of time, no one came and went on Yunduan Mountain. Only the elders of the Chamber of Commerce occasionally came to deliver some rare elixirs to restore spiritual power or spiritual consciousness.

It seems that the senior leaders of the Chamber of Commerce also know that puppet production has reached its most critical moment, and have blocked most of the idle personnel. Even the share of magical weapon tasks in the Artifact Palace has been reduced in recent years.

The purpose is to make everyone in Wei Zhong devote themselves wholeheartedly to the refining of the fourth-level puppet.

It took more than three years to successfully refine the puppet body, and in the remaining years, the divine boxes were also gradually refined.

In the last month, the fourth-level psychic core was finally released with the combined efforts of Zhuge Zhao and Wei Zhong.

Its whole body is fiery red, like burning red iron.

The spreading spiritual pressure made everyone in the hall feel as if a big stone was pressing on their hearts.

It is full of spiritual energy absorbed from the underground spiritual veins. The total amount is more than ten times that of Wei Zhong's body at this moment, far beyond the level of pill formation.

"It's still possible to continue absorbing it, but for the first time of fusion, it's better not to fill it up too much."

Wei Zhong's scalp felt numb as he held the psychic core, and he was not very confident in what he had refined.

If this thing explodes, its power will probably not be lower than the self-exploding true elixir in the later stage of elixir formation, or even exceed it.

By then, those people in the palace might not be able to survive the explosion.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you ready?"

Huang Yunqi integrated the divine box into the puppet's body, leaving only the psychic core in Wei Zhong's hand.

The fourth-level puppet was about to be completed, and everyone looked at Wei Zhong with excitement.

Nodding: "Ready!"

Wei Zhong walked towards the puppet, and its chest and abdomen moved around, revealing a circular hollow.

Wei Zhong put the burning psychic core in his hand into it.

The mechanism retracts and covers it.

In an instant, surging spiritual energy flowed crazily along the spiritual materials and spiritual patterns in the puppet's body.

A powerful spiritual pressure instantly erupted from the puppet. Wei Zhong, who was the closest, couldn't help but take two steps back before he could stabilize his figure.

Looking up, I saw the eight-foot-tall puppet with red spiritual patterns lighting up, standing there like a god.

"It didn't disintegrate. Is this a success?"

The puppet's body frame, even the God Box, and the psychic core are integrated very well.

"Only manipulation experiments remain."

Huang Yunqi breathed out, took out a palm-sized fiery red token, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and began to control the puppet's movements through the token.

Wei Zhong saw the fourth-level puppet move slightly, and its arms and fingertips also moved.

But apart from these, Huang Yunqi's consciousness was withdrawn from the puppet token.

"It's still very difficult to control the token. Maybe it's because my consciousness is too weak. How about cutting out the distraction control?"

Everyone looked around for a moment, and finally fixed their gaze on Wei Zhong and Zhuge Zhao.

Not everyone in this group of weapon refiners has practiced the "God-Splitting Technique", and not everyone is willing to bear the side effects.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, are you willing to give it a try?"

The latter smiled bitterly:

"It's better for Fellow Daoist Wei to do it. It's extremely difficult for me to control a third-level high-grade puppet. I'm afraid this fourth-level puppet is powerless."

"Then leave it to me."

Wei Zhong took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the spot, recovered the distraction in Yinxuan, and then took a soul-nourishing pill.

He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a full quarter of an hour before opening his eyes, and a ray of distraction floated out of Wei Zhong's body.

This distraction is the strongest one Wei Zhong has created so far. It accounts for a full 40% of Wei Zhong's total mental consciousness, which is almost the same as the ordinary spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of pill formation.

If it were damaged, it would be enough to severely damage Wei Zhong and stagnate his cultivation for several years.

He was only three feet away from the puppet when he was distracted, and a suction force came from within its body.

"Is this a divine box?"

Wei Zhong didn't resist and followed the suction force and threw himself into the puppet's body.

The connection between the distraction and the main body was briefly disconnected, then reconnected immediately.

Wei Zhong felt like he was in a warm ocean, without the cold feeling of controlling a puppet in the past.

‘It’s quite comfortable! Is this the God Box? ’

At the same time, he felt that the strength of his own consciousness was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye in this divine box.

It surpassed the combined growth rate of all third-level puppets that Wei Zhong had controlled.

‘Sure enough, the “Splitting God Technique” must be paired with high-level puppets. The effect of these fourth-level puppets is much stronger than that of third-level puppets. ’

Trying to spread his consciousness along the divine box to other parts of the puppet, Wei Zhong felt his consciousness shake. The violent impact almost made Wei Zhong's vision go dark and he almost collapsed to the ground.

‘I knew how could a fourth-level puppet be so easy to control? ’

Zhuge Zhao on the side saw this and quickly helped him up.

"Fellow Daoist Wei?"

Wei Zhong himself waved his hand:

"Nothing, nothing!"

Then he closed his eyes again, sensing where the distraction was.

At this moment, Wei Zhong has taken over the puppet body and is distracted and under great pressure.

But this pressure did not make Wei Zhong feel pain, and the cool feeling coming from the divine box made Wei Zhong understand the benefits of controlling such puppets.

‘While exerting pressure, you will increase your consciousness. If only using the God Box, the speed of increasing the strength of the consciousness is one, then by driving the puppet at this moment, the speed can reach two or three.

‘This is the improvement under pressure. It is somewhat similar to the concept of splitting consciousness as a strengthening method. ’

Wei Zhong controlled the puppet and took a few steps, and found that compared to Yinxuan, this fourth-level puppet was a little slower.

But this was just Wei Zhong's psychological feeling. In the eyes of Huang Yunqi and others, the puppet teleported from one end of the hall to the other in just two steps.

The speed was so fast that it caused a cry of surprise.

Wei Zhong tried his arms and palms again. After a period of running-in, he finally got used to this puppet and eliminated the dull feeling just now.

"So strong!"

Wei Zhong felt that there was a fire burning inside the puppet, and he was eager to explode and show his power.

Just then there was a burst of applause in the hall:

"The fourth-level puppet has been successfully refined. Sorry for bothering you all."

The person who came was none other than Yu Tianze, who was in charge of the Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone saw him and bowed quickly:

"I've met Elder Yu."

The latter responded one by one with an extremely friendly attitude.

Then he looked up at Wei Zhong who was driving the puppet:

"How is the puppet Wei Xiaoyou adapting?"

"Almost."

"Then I'll go and make some gestures later?"

Wei Zhong was stunned.

After a while, Yu Tianze took Wei Zhong to an extremely wide cave deep in the earth's veins.

He pointed to the surroundings and said:

“This is the remnant of a vein mined by the Chamber of Commerce in the early days. The rocks left behind by the abandoned mine have become extremely hard after being nourished by spiritual energy for many years.

"Later, the formation masters in the Chamber of Commerce reinforced it and turned it into a Nascent Soul Fighting Field."

Wei Zhong looked around and saw a large runic forbidden aura.

"Then I'll start later?"

There is only one person and one puppet here. Those weapon refiners who participated in the puppet refining also wanted to see the power of their own results, but Yu Tianze refused because Yu Tianze said that the Nascent Soul fighting method is dangerous.

Even the current Wei Zhong himself is hiding outside the mine to avoid being affected by the aftermath of the fight.

"Let's get started!"

Wei Zhong raised his hand:

"Senior, please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhong controlled the fourth-level puppet and stepped heavily with both feet, drawing an afterimage and heading straight for Yu Tianze.

The body of the fourth-level puppet is made of most of the fourth-level spiritual materials. It can be said to be a huge magical weapon. Wei Zhong's punches and kicks are all the power of the fourth-level magical weapon.

Such a powerful puppet body is naturally suitable for close combat.

"Good guy!"

Yu Tianze's brows jumped, and he raised his hand to see a golden heavy sword standing in front of him.

As a spiritual practitioner in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his physique is far from comparable to that of this fourth-level puppet.

Seeing the golden light flashing in front of him, Wei Zhong ignored it and knocked his golden heavy sword away.

After the heavy sword flew upside down, a thin sword split from it and slashed towards Wei Zhong's chest.

Wei Zhong raised his body and raised his arms, trying to resist the sword light.

But with a single scratch on the puppet's body, it left a half-finger-long scratch.

"Mother-child sword?"

Wei Zhong did not expect that the heavy sword weapon, which was famous for its heavy power, contained such murderous intent.

Without stopping, after getting rid of the golden rapier at a small cost, Wei Zhong went straight to Yu Tianze's body.

In the millisecond of running, the scars on the puppet's arms had completely recovered.

How could a dignified fourth-level puppet not have the means to repair itself?

Even if Yu Tianze's sword energy remained in the damaged area, it would dissipate like smoke when it was charged by the huge spiritual energy in the spiritual core.

‘If you have enough spiritual power, you are arrogant. ’

At this moment, the psychic core is like an engine running at full power, frantically absorbing the free spiritual energy in the mine to replenish itself, and then using the spiritual patterns on it to consume it, launching various attacks.

Yu Tianze saw that the puppet got rid of his own sword so easily and launched a spiritual attack without thinking.

But this invisible attack fell on the puppet like a stone sinking into the sea, gradually causing a trace of aftermath, and then there was no response at all.

"This is the God Box!"

As the most expensive part of the fourth-level puppet, it would be a joke if it could not withstand the attack of spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

To eliminate the attack, Wei Zhong clenched his right fist, and the spiritual core was running wildly at this time, like a tiger roaring.

Endless spiritual power poured into his right fist, and the fiery red spiritual pattern on it lit up, dyeing the puppet's right fist like a branding iron.

Red is transparent.

The magic rune engraved on the puppet's right arm was activated.

Wei Zhong punched out, as if a big sun was facing Yu Tianze.

The latter had a solemn face, holding a giant sword, and spiritual power poured into it, activating the dense spiritual patterns on the giant sword.

The huge spiritual power rolled here, and the two attacks had not yet touched, and the huge spiritual pressure collided at this moment, creating a spiritual vacuum within a few miles.

Yu Tianze chopped down with the sword, and simply uttered a word:

"Cut!"

The heavy golden giant sword actually chopped down simply, like a hatchet to split the big sun.

The incandescent sphere split into two, brushing against the corner of Yu Tianze's clothes and falling onto the rock wall behind him.

The protective spiritual patterns flickered, and endless small pieces of gravel fell. Wei Zhong's attack was finally borne by the mine here.

"Is the spiritual power of the Fire Fist too dispersed?"

Wei Zhong saw the problem at a glance.

This magic method inspired by the fourth-level puppet is indeed strong, and it is a genuine Nascent Soul level.

But Yu Tianze's sword is more powerful. The spiritual power is contained in the golden heavy sword, which is dense and stable. It naturally tore the spiritual power of the Fire Fist into two and easily broke it.

"Good punch!"

Yu Tianze muttered.

"Then how about trying this trick again, senior?"

Wei Zhong stepped on his right foot, and a long flame whip stretched out from the right foot of the puppet. It was connected to the spiritual core in the puppet's body. The rich spiritual power flowed on it, accumulating a large piece of spiritual power flame.

It was simply a long flame whip.

Among the people who refined this puppet, there were three fourth-level weapon refiners including Wei Zhong. How could they not prepare several Nascent Soul magic weapons for the puppet?

This long whip was one of them, the Red Flame Whip.

With a kick of his right foot, the whip was like a fire snake.

It whipped towards Yu Tianze's body with its own endless spiritual power and strength.

The speed was so fast that the latter felt a pain in his hand before he heard the sound of breaking through the air, and a huge force poured down along the heavy sword.

With a flash of golden light on his feet, Yu Tianze quickly escaped from this place with the magic boots and unique escape method.

But just as he escaped, another whip hit him.

This time it was the puppet's left leg.

The two long whips were caught in Wei Zhong's hands, as if two fire ropes wrapped Yu Tianze inside. The latter kept moving in it, occasionally using the heavy sword to attack, and waiting for an opportunity to get close to the puppet's body.

Suddenly, Wei Zhong heard the word "cut", and a red flame whip quickly broke, the encirclement collapsed, and Yu Tianze was able to escape from it.

He put his two fingers together, and three golden lights flew out from the heavy sword.

‘Who said that the mother-child sword only has one child?’
