A Special Law Treasure: The Substitute Death Doll! (4K)

The female warrior ignored everyone's gazes and acted as if nothing had happened.

When the Martial God Palace members arrived, the other forces made way for them.

The Martial God Palace is stronger than other Holy Lands, and to break the Martial God Palace Demon God's blockade, they will need to rely on its power.

"This person's physical aura is indeed not as strong as other high-ranking members of the Martial God Palace, but since she is a high-ranking member of the Martial God Palace, she may not be that simple."

Lu Changsheng noticed the female warriors among the high-ranking members of the Martial God Palace.

Among the group of burly men in the Martial God Palace, this woman was a breath of fresh air. She was heroic and valiant, like a female general from the Human Race Dynasty, only her aura was weaker than that of the other high-ranking members of the Martial God Palace.

"The space is sealed off by the Demon God's Qilin Saint Cauldron; no wonder you're all hesitating to move forward."

The leader of the Martial God Palace was a dignified man with a deep gaze fixed on the sky.

"Now that the people from the Martial God Palace have arrived, our strength is sufficient to break through the Demon God's blockade."

Upon seeing the arrival of the group from the Martial God Palace, True Lord Youran estimated that with the combined efforts of everyone at Tianqing Mountain, they could break the Demon God's restraints.

"No rush, the people from the Kunlun Holy Land have arrived as well."

The Great Wisdom Bodhisattva looked towards the west.

A group of Xiuzhenzhe arrived on swords, their Daoist Robes bearing the insignia of the Purple Void Palace.

The Purple Void Palace of Kunlun Holy Land is the foremost Holy Land in the Lower Realm.

The number of Xiuzhenzhe who came to the Purple Void Palace was small, but each one of them was Great Expert!

"It's nice to see you all again."

Yan Zhiqiu was somewhat surprised to see Lu Changsheng, Xia Ningxue, the Exiled Sword Immortal, the Primordial Beginning Saintess, and other geniuses of the same era gathered at Tianqing Mountain.

What's the story behind your cultivation level?

Lu Changsheng sensed that Yan Zhiqiu's aura surpassed Han Shaolin's, and was extremely terrifying.

Yan Zhiqiu's cultivation level surpassed all of theirs, making him the first genius to enter the Immortality Realm.

The Primordial Beginning Saintess's eyes sparkled, seemingly having already guessed the reason for Yan Zhiqiu's improved cultivation. "The Kunlun Holy Land possesses a Law Treasure — the Purple Void Illusory Abode, where time flows ten times faster than outside. You have likely cultivated within the Purple Void Illusory Abode for hundreds of millions of years. Moreover, the Kunlun Holy Land also controls numerous dragon veins. As the Kunlun Saint, you have at least refined several dragon veins."

"As expected of the Primordial Beginning Saintess, she knows so much about our Purple Void Palace."

Yan Zhiqiu did not deny it.

The abundant Cultivation Resources of the Purple Void Palace are an advantage in themselves.

Sweat.

If I had a top-grade cultivation Law Treasure like the Purple Void Illusory Abode, I wouldn't need to risk going to the Chaotic Realm to cultivate.

The Purple Void Illusory Abode can still maintain a stable time flow rate of ten times.

"The Five Kunlun Elders Kunlun Mountain and Daoist Chongxu of the Purple Void Palace are all Immortality Realm experts now, so we're safe this time."

"Prepare to break through the Demon God's blockade."

The Xiuzhenzhe near Tianqing Mountain were all eager to fight. With the help of experts from the two great Divine Palaces, Martial God Palace and Purple Void Palace, they were even more confident.

"Our Sect Master needs to ask Old Lord for help. Please wait a moment; we'll be more confident then."

"Old Lord?"

"Could it be those Remote Antiquity Saint who founded the Purple Void Palace?"

"It would be even better if they intervened."

Everyone cheered.

Remote Antiquity Saint were a group of powerful beings second only to the Primordial Human Race Emperors. Master and Su Wudi, among other Remote Antiquity powerhouses, belonged to the category of Remote Antiquity Saint.

That level of combat power is undoubtedly a guarantee.

When the higher-ups of the Martial God Palace heard that Old Lord from the Purple Void Palace was coming, they chose to wait patiently.

Meanwhile, various forces, including the Martial God Palace, the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands, Sumeru Mountain, and the Weilong Academy, are observing the situation at Demon-Suppressing Pass.

Breaking the Demon God's blockade and entering the Demon-Suppressing Pass, the matter is not yet over.

A war with the Demon Race is inevitable.

"Fortunately, the Demon Race is not at its peak right now, otherwise we would probably just be cannon fodder."

Having experienced a great battle with the Demon Race, True Lord Youran was still filled with lingering fear.

A disciple of the Cloud Mountain Holy Land asked, "Ancestor, were the Demon Race really that strong back then?"

"Back then, the Demon Race was at its zenith, at the height of its power. The Primordial Demon God single-handedly rivaled five ancient Primordial Human Race Emperors. There were also Demon Emperor -level powerhouses such as the Dragon Emperor, Golden Crow Emperor, Heavenly Python Emperor, Primordial Elephant Emperor, and Wood Emperor, all of whom were peerless powerhouses surpassing even the Demon Kings. Even now, I would have to give way to such powerhouses."

Even when discussing the glorious era of the High Antiquity Demon Emperor, the True Lord Youran still felt fear.

That was the era of the Demon Race.

The Eight Desolate Fire Dragon, the World-Destroying Black Dragon, and the Torch Dragon, these Dragon Clan Demon Kings, are all merely subordinates of the Old Dragon Emperor and have not yet reached the terrifying realm of the Demon Emperor.

"Those were truly memorable."

The Great Wisdom Bodhisattva had obviously participated in the First High Antiquity War. Recalling the past, and now having to fight against the Demon Race again, he sighed deeply.

"I'm ready."

The leader of the High Antiquity Long Household was Third Ancestor Long Jingyu of the Dragon Clan. He rubbed his fists and danced with great enthusiasm.

The High Antiquity Long Household, having merged with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, consisted entirely of Body Tempering experts who craved battle.

"We, the disciples of the Weilong Academy, cannot stand idly by and watch the Three Realms descend into chaos and countless lives be lost."

The team from the Weilong Academy was led by Vice Dean Cheng Jiuxuan, who was Immortality Realm Saint.

Among the Nine Great Confucian Sects, Weilong Academy ranks among the top three in strength, possibly second only to the Ziyang Academy.

"The Master hasn't come; he's most likely being held back by the Demon Realm. The Central Province are in chaos."

Mo Huazhi did not see the Master of the Ziyang Academy. Given the Master's personality, he would have taken the lead without hesitation if something happened at Demon-Suppressing Pass.

However, the Master has not appeared indicates that Ziyang Academy is in danger.

The Demon Venerable's goal was to destroy the Heavenly Court was located 50,000 miles above the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty in Central Province. Therefore, the Demon Realm Army gathered in Central Province.

The Ziyang Academy, located in the Imperishable Immortal Dynasty, will certainly be affected, and the Master will likely be unable to spare any resources.

Other factions may also have encountered their own troubles.

Each major faction also needs to leave some experts behind to guard their cave abode.

The Xiuzhenzhe gathered at Tianqing Mountain were only a portion of the powerful beings from the Immortal Realm.

Taking advantage of this last bit of time, Lu Changsheng continued to bestow various Law Treasures upon his Disciple.

This time, Lu Changsheng rewarded his Disciple with various kinds of precious armor and Daoist Robes, hoping to find a life-saving Law Treasure.

The Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda is Lu Changsheng's natal magic Law Treasure and cannot be easily damaged. Under normal circumstances, Lu Changsheng would not risk his life against the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

What Lu Changsheng needs is a Law Treasure that he can sacrifice at any time to save his life.

[Ding! You have bestowed the Fourth-Grade Dao Artifact "Dragon-Phoenix Cloud-Pattern Flame-Glory Armor" upon your Disciple Lu Qinglian, but have failed to obtain the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward.]

[Ding! You have failed to reward your Disciple Lin Qingzhi with the Third-Grade Dao Artifact "All-Encompassing Phenomena Robe," but the Disciple-Teaching Rebate reward has been lost.]

[Ding! You have failed to Disciple-Teaching Rebate your Disciple Xiao Fan with the Fifth-Grade Dao Artifact "Chonghua Battle Armor".]

[Ding! You have failed to reward Disciple-Teaching Rebate Disciple Chen Yi with the Fourth-Grade Dao Artifact "Six-Aspect Kasaya".]

"Um?"

Lu Changsheng even bestowed his cassock upon his Disciples, but all his efforts ended in failure.

Lu Changsheng felt a wave of frustration.

Ever since the system awarded me a few treasure fragments, it has been showing "reward failed".

It seems the system has become picky.

All his Disciples now possessed suitable armor and Daoist Robes, Lu Changsheng unsure of what to reward Disciple next.

Lu Changsheng examined the Inner World, but for a moment he couldn't think of any treasure to reward his Disciple with.

"This thing..."

Lu Changsheng saw a human-shaped rag doll.

This is a rather special treasure, originating from the Netherworld Realm.

[Curse Doll: No rank. By fusing an object imbued with the target's aura with the Curse Doll, one can Curse that person. Mild curses result in illness and misfortune, while severe Fortune their life force.]

This Law Treasure has a similar purpose to the common practice of "pinching voodoo dolls," used for Curse.

According to the system's description, this Law Treasure is extremely terrifying.

In reality, even if you obtain the other party's possessions and successfully Curse them, the other party can find a highly skilled person to dispel the curse.

If the opponent is Great Expert, they can even deduce who is Curse them by analyzing the cause and Cause and Effect of Fortune, and then launch a counterattack.

Overall, it's a double-edged sword—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

"Fine, I'll give it a try."

Lu Changsheng took out the Curse Doll and bestowed it upon his disciple Xu Jing.

[Ding! You have bestowed a "Curse Doll" upon your Disciple Xu Jing, receiving a 100,000 times reward for your Disciple-Teaching Rebate: "Substitute Death Doll".]

[Substitute Death Doll: No rank, Law Treasure crafted by Xiuzhenzhe in the Netherworld Realm. After refinement, it becomes Cause and Effect linked to the user's Fortune. When the host perishes, the doll will sacrifice itself in their place. It's important to note that once the Fortune Cause and Effect the host and the doll is severed, it will no longer function as a substitute.]

"Hiss..."

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Life-saving Law Treasure!

Top-tier life-saving Law Treasure!

With a major battle imminent, Lu Changsheng desperately needed a life-saving magic Law Treasure, and this Law Treasure came at just the right time!

As long as a powerful enemy doesn't notice that you possess such a Law Treasure, the Substitute Death Doll will perish in your place, essentially giving you an extra life.

The mysterious Netherworld Realm holds many treasures, and they have numerous uses.

If given the opportunity and the ability, Lu Changsheng would really like to go to the Netherworld Realm to explore.

Lu Changsheng's Disciple, Xu Jing, can be considered Xiuzhenzhe from the Netherworld Realm, and he might actually have the opportunity to venture into the Netherworld Realm in the future.

Lu Changsheng quickly refined the Substitute Death Doll.

As he was being refined, Lu Changsheng felt himself and the puppet become one, their Fortune and Cause and Effect intertwined. If he Body and Spirit Annihilation, the Substitute Death Doll would fall in his place.

This put Lu Changsheng at ease.

Having an extra life gives you more room to maneuver.

"They've arrived."

The female warriors of the Martial God Palace sensed two terrifying auras.

As everyone gradually noticed, they all looked westward in unison.

Only two Xiuzhenzhe arrived; their numbers were small, but their auras were terrifying.

"One of them was alright, about my level. The other one... was incredibly strong."

Shi Niandao felt inferior to even one of the people who arrived.

That aura was so terrifying that he was far beyond his reach.

The two Xiuzhenzhe landed on Tianqing Mountain, and their Flying Swords automatically returned to their sheaths.

A middle-aged man and an old man, both dressed in Daoist Robes from the Purple Void Palace, exuded an air of Dao Bone and transcendence.

One of them was someone everyone recognized— True Lord Daoxuan of the Purple Void Palace.

The other person is someone most people don't recognize.

But every High Antiquity powerful being who knew him was filled with awe and reverence.

"Junior Li Youran greets Senior."

True Lord Youran took the initiative to bow to the Old Lord of the Purple Void Palace.

"Junior Cheng Jiuxuan greets Old Lord."

"It has been a long time since I Long Jingyu, have paid my respects to Old Lord. To be able to see Old Lord again is truly an honor beyond measure."

"Amitabha Buddha, this humble nun greets her revered teacher."

These High Antiquity Great Expert all paid homage to Old Lord.

Old Lord Chenyuan's seniority is clearly above theirs.

It was actually Old Lord Chenyuan!

The geniuses present, such as Lu Changsheng, Yan Zhiqiu, and the Exiled Sword Immortal, had never met Old Lord Chenyuan, but they had heard of his Old Lord Chenyuan reputation.

Old Lord Chenyuan was one of the original Old Lord who established Purple Void Palace. He possessed boundless Daoist magic and played a pivotal role in the two High Antiquity Wars!

Beings of such status were at the forefront of both High Antiquity Wars.

The fact that Old Lord Chenyuan was able to survive two Calamity is enough to demonstrate his strength.

For hundreds of millions of years, Old Lord Chenyuan has never appeared.

Now, another Calamity has struck, Old Lord Chenyuan has reappeared, facing once again the high-ranking members of the Demon Race and the Demon Realm.

No need for formalities.

Old Lord Chenyuan's words were like a gentle breeze to everyone.

It was just a simple sentence, without using Divine Ability, yet it subtly influenced everyone.

Old Lord Chenyuan seemed to have merged with the Three Thousand Great Daos.

That's ridiculously strong.

Aside from the Heavenly Emperor, Old Lord Chenyuan should be one of the strongest beings Lu Changsheng has ever seen.

His Dao cultivation is probably even higher than Su Wudi's.

After all, Su Wudi only founded the High Antiquity Su Family, while Old Lord Chenyuan and several other Old Lord founded Purple Void Palace, one of the Ten Great Divine Palaces.

"You little rascals have all grown to this level; it's truly remarkable. And little Hui, I was the one who sent you to Sumeru Mountain to cultivate back then; now that you've achieved enlightenment, I'm extremely gratified."

Old Lord Chenyuan responded to these High Antiquity Great Expert.

When Old Lord Chenyuan attained Changsheng, True Lord Youran, Long Jingyu, and others were still just playing in the mud.

Great Wisdom Bodhisattva clasped her hands together and said, "If it weren't for my revered teacher finding this humble nun in the fire and sending her to Sumeru Mountain to cultivate, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. I will never forget such kindness."

Old Lord Chenyuan shook his head. "You are destined to be connected with Sumeru Mountain; I was merely doing my small favor."

Hearing the brief conversation between Old Lord Chenyuan and Great Wisdom Bodhisattva, everyone's hearts were stirred with turbulent emotions.

The Great Wisdom Bodhisattva, whose Buddhist teachings are boundless, was actually a little girl who had encountered a calamity. She was found by Old Lord Chenyuan and sent to Sumeru Mountain to cultivate, Great Wisdom Bodhisattva led to her later achievements.

Therefore, it is said that Old Lord Chenyuan's seniority is incredibly high, even the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva calls him his mentor.

"I wonder if it's Old Lord Chenyuan's of higher seniority, or Qi Yuxia's father who founded the Taichu Sacred Land?"

Lu Changsheng thought of the White-Clad Man who had killed the Green Lion King.

The Qi Clan Tribe was the predecessor of the Taichu Sacred Land and the ancestor who established the Five Great Innate Sacred Lands. They must have been extremely ancient and important figures, with few records of them even in ancient books.

Lu Changsheng was also unsure whether Old Lord Chenyuan or the ancestor of the Qi Clan Tribe had a higher generation.

It's also possible that they were both Great Expert of the same era.

"You're the genius Lu Changsheng that Dao Xuan mentioned?"

Old Lord Chenyuan looked at Lu Changsheng with eyes as deep as the Milky Way, as if trying to see through Lu Changsheng's true nature.

"This junior greets Old Lord."

Lu Changsheng bowed respectfully.

Given Old Lord Chenyuan's seniority, one would surely benefit greatly from receiving even a little guidance.
