Realm?

Within the once vibrant Azure Cloud Sect, pits and holes were scattered everywhere.

Su Luo stood on the blue stone on the side peak, looking down at the devastated mountain gate. She ordered the dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators who were still alive to lead the Inner Sect disciples to get a large number of wreaths and yellow paper, and then dig thousands of pits.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't know why they had to dig up these things, but under Su Luo's casual suppression, they obediently did as she asked.

Su Luo withdrew her gaze and looked at the Young Lord was placed on the Bluestone Slabs not far away.

Her body was as pale as someone with albinism, her skin so thin it was almost transparent, and her chest and abdominal cavities were no longer collapsing; Su Luo had filled those gaps with spiritual materials.

With a thought, Young Lord immediately began to move, performing a backflip. His movements were even more agile than in his previous life, with his hands and feet able to rotate 360 degrees, making him look somewhat bizarre.

Young Lord's soul was also sealed within her body and was well cared for by Su Luo.

This is not the Illusion Arts or direct soul manipulation that Su Luo used before. Illusion Arts are too easy to break, and soul manipulation is too easy to backfire.

This time, he used Puppet Arts from the cultivation side, along with various other Craft, which was quite in line with local customs.

Since she's on the Martial Dao side, and the risk of Su Luo unlocking her Heartfire Essence has decreased, coupled with her Talent and profession being focused on "collecting corpses to become stronger" and the current situation of the Azure Cloud Sect having a large number of corpses, Su Luo decided to refine her into an improved puppet.

Then, Su Luo brought Cang Yue over. Cang Yue was trapped in a specially made cage, his limbs curled up, like a lump of cargo stuffed into a box.

He began refining the Cang Yue.

Flames surged in Su Luo's hand, and Qi gathered around her. A flash of Spiritual Light appeared, sealing the soul and locking the body. She used Talisman Arts to condense them in the air, and dozens of Talisman Arts flew out from Su Luo's sleeve, lined up in mid-air, and attached themselves to Cang Yue's body surface one by one.

Countless Array Formation flashed by, from Cang Yue's head to his feet, from his skin to his bones, each layer was reforged, melting Cang Yue tendons and bones, and then recast in place with spiritual materials.

The surrounding spiritual materials were continuously consumed: Spirit Gold threads, Soul Jade, turbid yin skeleton... one by one they were thrown into the flames, turning into streams of light and merging into Cang Yue's body.

At the same time, Su Luo was also suffering nearly a thousand times the backlash. The moment her soul was sealed, all the Cycles in her spiritual world came to an abrupt halt, and it took her a while to recover. When her bones and muscles were burned and melted, her body turned into liquid. However, Su Luo was able to replace the destroyed parts of her body with pure Inner Circulation.

And so, Su Luo refined Cang Yue while simultaneously refining herself. Both bodies transformed in the flames at the same time. It took nearly two hours for Su Luo to complete the initial refinement of Cang Yue.

The mountaintop where he stood had become a pile of solidified blood and fire, with red and black glass covering the entire ground, gleaming greasyly in the sunlight and looking quite dirty.

By this time, the people from the Azure Cloud Sect had already packed up the body and the necessary items for the funeral and brought them over—a total of four airships.

Su Luo glanced at them from a distance and noticed that the three airships were carrying funeral-related items: wreaths, yellow paper, white cloth, incense, candles, paper money, and coffin boards. However, one of the airships was carrying bottles and jars.

"What are these bottles and jars?" Su Luo asked.

The elder silently opened the jar and showed the thick liquid inside.

"We've tried our best to pull the bodies of the Outer Sect disciples from the ground, but we still haven't found more than half of them."

Su Luo was stunned.

Damn, you guys are so dedicated! You're so good at saving money.

Then Su Luo suddenly realized that the unprofessional and disloyal people had already been killed by Qingyun Zhenren.

"Alright, alright, you can go and rest now that you've finished setting up the scene. Leave the rest to her."

Su Luo pointed to the Young Lord, who had been turned into a puppet; she could still perform some simple operations.

After dismissing the others, Su Luo turned her gaze to the Cang Yue that she had just successfully refined.

His entire body turned blue, and he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes had lost their liveliness, and his flesh and blood were covered with spiritual patterns and Array Formation. However, his movements were very agile.

Su Luo himself was actually in a similar situation. His cultivation path of constantly modifying his body was similar to that of some high-level puppet crafting techniques in immortal cultivation, and they ultimately led to the same goal.

With a thought, Cang Yue instantly began to attack with both hands.

"Slap slap..."

After a dozen or so slaps, it appeared that Cang Yue was hitting himself.

But in reality, Su Luo felt a burning sensation on her face, and it hurt a little.

"The determination of this counter-damage also has an origin-based aspect; the depth of this origin-based assessment will be explored later."

Just then, Yun Xiaoxiao flew over from afar and saw Cang Yue slapping himself hard in the face. She couldn't help but ask curiously:

What kind of lotion or cream is so hard to absorb?

Su Luo looked over speechlessly. "Is it finished?"

"The fusion reactor is built, powered by Qi, but the vehicle hasn't been built yet; we don't have the materials." Yun Xiaoxiao pouted.

Since arriving in the Land of Darkness, she has continuously Optimization herself and even learned some interstellar-era technology from Zuo Guxian, greatly reducing construction time. Generally, deploying a bunch of self- Copy Nanorobots can solve the problem.

Fun fact: With good enough materials, building a large nuclear fusion reactor is simpler than building a suitable vehicle.

"Take me there."

Su Luo stood up. A high-energy building that could provide high heat would definitely be extremely useful to Su Luo. Even if Qi could not be produced on its own, it would not prevent Su Luo from reintegrating electrical energy into the Inner Circulation.

"You need to figure out the vehicle. I'll be leaving Azure Cloud Sect around tonight and arriving at Dieyi Daojun, 20,000 kilometers away, before Heavenly Sun. You need to develop a vehicle with the speed and range to handle the strange terrain along the way."

Yun Xiaoxiao estimated that as long as the speed could be maintained at over 3,000 kilometers per hour, there would be no problem, with plenty of margin. The problem was that it needed to be built in a short time, and there was also the issue of materials.

You could fly faster than this!

"Immortals must have mounts," Su Luo said.

"You immortal..." Yun Xiaoxiao was about to retort when she suddenly paused. "That makes sense. Most immortals in your Central Lands have mounts and fly while seated. Superman in the West flies while lying down. But Superman is more aerodynamic."

Su Luo ignored Yun Xiaoxiao, sat down in front of the nuclear fusion reactor that resembled a pill refining furnace, threw Cang Yue and Heartfire into it, and began to let Xiao Luo take charge of strengthening Heartfire and preparing to reforge Cang Yue, while she closed her eyes.

He became immersed in the cultivation realm of this world.

Su Luo has always held this view:

There are no realms or such things in the All Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds; there are only high-speed growth periods and slow growth periods, as well as upper limits for the models.

This is a very Essence perspective.
