Mythic Era!
"Supreme Martial True Body!!"
Xia Yan immediately thought of the true trump card of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family, because this Supreme Martial True Body was forged from the Undying Golden Body of the Martial Saint!
In the beginning, the Undying Golden Body was only worshipped by their descendants and had no practical use. However, later, due to the popularity of puppetry, some powerful families that had produced martial saint ancestors began to have wicked ideas.
These forces refined the remains of their martial saint ancestors, the Undying Golden Body, into combat puppets.
Then, this trend of turning the Undying Golden Body of ancestors into combat puppets intensified, and countless forces that had once produced martial saints engaged in this act of mourning without being able to express their grief.
These combat puppets, forged from Undying Golden Body, may not reach the same level of strength as when they were alive, but they should not be underestimated.
The strength of combat puppets is often determined by the cultivation level of the martial saints they lived in, and thus varies in strength.
The combat puppets made from the remains of ordinary martial saints basically have at least the combat power of King Rank or Emperor Rank martial venerable.
Those Heavenly Human Martial Saint, their Undying Golden Body often create combat puppets with strength reaching the Heaven Rank Martial Venerable level!
As for those supreme martial saints, their Undying Golden Body are even more powerful, and the combat puppets they create still possess the combat power of the saint realm!
Although the remains of these supreme powerhouses can often only exert the combat power of an ordinary Martial Saint, they are still Saints after all!
There are also some exceptionally powerful Supreme Martial Saints whose strength in life was almost at the god level. Therefore, the combat puppets made from their remains are unimaginably strong!
For example, the remains of the first emperor of the Mystic Xia Empire, the Martial Saint of Emperor Xia.
Because the first emperor of the Mystic Xia Empire was so powerful during his lifetime, almost reaching the level of a martial god, the combat puppet he created was also ridiculously strong, capable of displaying the power of Heavenly Human Martial Saint!
Therefore, the Undying Golden Body of the Emperor Xia was revered by the descendants of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family as the Supreme Martial True Body!
At this very moment, right here in this plaza, there is a large pile of the remains of martial saints that can be refined into combat puppets, also known as Undying Golden Body!
How could this not be shocking?
How can this not make people envious?
At the very least, the eyes of Illusion Venerable Xia Yin, Wen Fengxiang, and Shang Daoming all revealed a look of greed.
However, Wen Fengxiang was, after all, the Righteous Qi Sect, who cultivated the Righteous Qi Technique and adhered to the righteous path. Therefore, he quickly came to his senses and secretly reflected on his actions.
How could the Righteous Qi Sect covet the remains of a powerful figure and even try to refine the Undying Golden Body into a combat puppet?
This is an act against humanity!
Xia Yin, the Illusion Venerable, quickly regained her senses. After all, she was a Martial Venerable, a powerful figure renowned for her expertise in illusion techniques. Her mental strength was strong enough to suppress the greed in her heart.
However, Shang Daoming's strength was not strong enough, and his moral standards were not high enough, so he had basically no scruples.
As long as it can significantly enhance the family's strength, Shang Daoming doesn't care what else matters!
If the Longshen Merchant Family took these Undying Golden Body back and refined them into combat puppets, wouldn't their family's power immediately take off?
"Snort!!"
Suddenly, a cold snort filled with anger rang out. Meng Yunjie looked coldly at Shang Daoming, a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes!
This startled Shang Daoming so much that he snapped out of his daze!
Once he came to his senses, Shang Daoming was immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. He was so panicked that he felt like he was about to collapse from fright.
Shang Daoming's face turned deathly pale, as white as a sheet of paper. He was filled with self-reproach, wondering what had gotten into him that he dared to covet the Undying Golden Body within the Taiyi Wind Emperor Hall.
It should be known that the Undying Golden Body inside the Taiyi Wind Emperor Hall must have been left behind by the fallen Martial Saint of the Azure Luan Guard.
And these Azure Luan Guards were actually subordinates of Wind Emperor, who was Meng Yunjie's previous life!
How dare they set their sights on Wind Emperor's subordinates? Do they really think Meng Yunjie won't get angry and kill someone?
Thinking of this, Shang Daoming's knees buckled, and he knelt before Meng Yunjie, his voice trembling as he said, "Your Wind Emperor, I was blinded by greed and deserve to die. I beg you to have mercy and spare my life!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yunjie coldly stared at Shang Daoming, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking in an icy tone, "Stop kneeling. Do I look like a demon who kills at will? Get up!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Daoming felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He immediately stood up in a disheveled state, bowing repeatedly and saying respectfully, "Thank you, Your Wind Emperor, for sparing my life!"
Seeing his elder in such a pathetic state, Shang Buyu could only cover his face and leave.
She couldn't bear to see this scene and felt it was too embarrassing!
"Buzz!!"
Just then, a strange wave suddenly rippled outwards, and then Xia Yan and the others felt that the huge square was actually shaking.
"Who goes there, daring to trespass into the Taiyi Wind Emperor Hall?!"
Amidst the tremors of the massive plaza, a clear yet imposing shout echoed throughout the space. However, the voice lacked any intelligence and was hollow, sounding like an electronic or mechanical voice.
?"this..."
Hearing this emotionless voice, Xia Yan and the others were also shocked.
At this moment, Meng Yunjie suddenly burst into tears, her voice trembling with sobs as she cried, "Xiaoyin, it's me, I've returned!"
Upon hearing this, the previously emotionless, mechanical voice suddenly transformed, becoming excited and invigorated, even containing a strong sob, almost shouting, "Your Majesty, it's you? You've returned? That's wonderful! Xiaoyin has waited for you for so long, finally welcoming your reincarnation!"
Before the words were finished, a beam of light suddenly appeared!
The figure in the light was a beautiful young girl with an ethereal, dreamlike appearance.
The girl had delicate features, fair skin, and a head of shiny black hair neatly tied back. Her large, bright eyes looked very pure.
At this moment, the girl was excited, her eyes were red, and she cried with illusory tears, "Waaah, Your Majesty, you've finally returned! Xiaoyin hasn't seen a human for so long, not even any other living creature. She's been all alone in this Taiyi Wind Emperor Hall all day long, and she's almost going crazy from loneliness."
Upon hearing Xiaoyin's words, Meng Yunjie immediately burst into tears, her tears falling like a broken string of pearls.
This scene brought tears to Xia Yan and the others' eyes, filling them with a deep sense of sorrow.
Wen Fengxiang and Shang Daoming, on the other hand, looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.
They found it hard to understand how someone like Meng Yunjie, a Saint Realm expert who was a Martial Emperor in her previous life, could cry, and cry so sadly.
The master and servant talked and cried for a while before the crying stopped.
Meng Yunjie wiped away her tears, composed herself, and then turned around, pointing to the illusory, exquisite image of a young girl, introducing her to the people. "Her Xiaoyin. She was my servant in my previous life and is also the spirit of the Emperor Artifacts, Taiyi Wind-Suppressing Pearl."
"So you are the spirit of the artifact. It's an honor to meet you."
Shang Daoming immediately became like a sycophant, cupping his hands and bowing to flatter him.
Shang Daoming's shameless behavior left Xia Yan and the others at a loss as to how to communicate normally with this spirit named Xiaoyin.
They'd rather learn from Shang Daoming's obsequious manner than lower themselves to such a level. But if they don't follow suit, this old man has already done it. If they don't, the spirit girl might hold a grudge.
Thus, Xia Yan and the others found themselves in a dilemma and could only remain silent.
Fortunately, this spirit named Xiaoyin was simple-minded. She waved her illusory little hand at the people and said softly, "You can just call me Sister Xiaoyin."
Hearing this, Xia Yan and the others immediately felt embarrassed.
This Xiaoyin looks like a young girl in her prime, even younger than them. How could they possibly call her "sister"?
Especially for Illusion Venerable Xia Yin, who has been in the role of an elder for so many years, suddenly calling a spirit that looks like a young girl "sister" really made her blush.
However, upon closer reflection, this spirit has lived for many epochs and is older than their ancestors, so calling her "sister" doesn't seem like a bad thing.
"Xiaoyin... Sister."
Xia Yan took the initiative, brazenly and somewhat reluctantly.
As the eldest princess of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family, she has always been good at dealing with various forces and is relatively thick-skinned, so she was the first to call her "elder sister".
Then, Illusion Venerable Xia Yin, Yun Xin Yue, and Shang Buyu also started calling her "sister," and they got more and more comfortable with it.
Hearing these repeated calls of "sister," Xiaoyin narrowed her eyes and smiled contentedly.
However, Xiaoyin quickly snapped out of her daze from the constant flattery of being called "sister." She turned to look at Meng Yunjie and asked, "Your Majesty, what brings you to the Void Thunder Palace this time?"
The force under the Thunder Emperor back then was called the Void Thunder Palace.
The innermost ancient hall of this small world created by the Thunder Emperor is also called the Void Thunder Palace.
Therefore, Xiaoyin called this Thunder Emperor Relic the Void Thunder Palace.
Upon hearing Xiaoyin's words, Meng Yunjie didn't mince words and stated directly, "This Emperor intends to go to the Emperor's Treasury to retrieve your body, Xiaoyin, which is the Taiyi Wind-Suppressing Pearl, and also to fuse with the remnant soul of the Martial Emperor contained within the Emperor Artifacts!"
After a pause, Meng Yunjie continued, "I also intend to search for the whereabouts of the Thunder Emperor. I don't know if she has perished or gone to the outer realms."
"This..."
The illusory spirit girl scratched her head in distress and whispered, "Xiaoyin doesn't know the exact whereabouts of His Thunder Emperor Your Majesty either."
As a phantom spirit, and without the Emperor Artifacts as her body, Xiaoyin can only stay in the Taiyi Wind Emperor Hall.
The area of this Void Thunder Palace small world is quite large. Since Xiaoyin only stayed in the Taiyi Wind Emperor Hall, she naturally did not know the whereabouts of the Thunder Emperor.
"Never mind if you don't know."
Meng Yunjie reached out and gently patted Xiaoyin's illusory little head to comfort her. Then, she suddenly remembered something, raised her eyebrows, and said, "By the way, the concentration of Yuan Qi is constantly decreasing. My reincarnated body's strength has not yet recovered. However, I have made quite a few enemies, mostly Martial Saints. These guys have also come to this Void Thunder Palace this time..."
"Does Your Majesty want Xiaoyin to help kill those enemies?"
Before Meng Yunjie could finish speaking, Xiaoyin clenched her pink little fists, looking fierce but actually Mengmeng, and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, they are just a bunch of Martial Saints. Killing them is still very easy!"
Before she could finish speaking, Xiaoyin suddenly turned around, pointed at the golden humanoid statues—the remains of the fallen Martial Saints—and shouted, "Where are the Azure Luan Guard?"
These words immediately caused a stir throughout the entire square!
The next second, the leftmost of the three intact golden humanoid statues suddenly trembled, and then, as if it had come back to life, it shot out and landed heavily on the square ground in front of Meng Yunjie.
The golden humanoid statue had barely stood still when it immediately faced Meng Yunjie and knelt on one knee!
Immediately afterwards, the gold on the surface of the humanoid statue began to dissipate, quickly revealing a man whose body was somewhat stiff, but whose skin and figure were like those of a living person!
Most importantly, this man was still wearing clothes!
This is a man wearing silver armor, with a blue cloak embroidered with an Azure Luan Sacred Beast.
The Azure Luan pattern, with its wings spread high, looked quite majestic.
Xia Yan and the others were stunned when they saw the silver-armored man.
What's going on? Has the Undying Golden Body of this Martial Saint suddenly come to life?
"No, these are combat puppets, only more advanced!"
"Illusion Venerable Xia Yin said with a solemn expression."
As a direct descendant of the Mystic Xia Imperial Family who had summoned the Supreme Martial True Body, Xia Yin was quite familiar with this kind of combat puppet.
With just a glance, she was able to detect the strength of the silver-armored man.
Ordinary Martial Saint!
This silver-armored man, who has been turned into a combat puppet, possesses the strength of an ordinary Martial Saint!
Therefore, this silver-armored man must have been a Supreme Martial Saint-level expert in his lifetime!
Immediately afterwards, the second of the three intact golden humanoid statues also awoke at Xiaoyin's summons and opened its eyes.
Before the human-shaped statue even jumped off the stone pedestal, the gold color on its exterior had already dissipated, and it returned to its original appearance.
The figure was an old man holding a long sword and wearing a white robe.
The old man had a frail face and white hair and beard, and looked to be over seventy years old, but his actual age was unknown.
A blue wind dragon, seemingly alive, coiled around the old man's sleeve, and a powerful sense of oppression surged out like a tidal wave, enveloping the entire square!
"Heavenly Human Martial Saint?!"
The Illusion Venerable Xia Yin's expression immediately turned serious, and a look of shock flashed in his golden eyes.
It should be noted that this old man has already perished and is now merely a battle puppet crafted from an Undying Golden Body!
But this very combat puppet actually possesses the strength of Heavenly Human Martial Saint!
So, how strong must the old man have been in his lifetime?
As a direct descendant who had summoned Supreme Martial True Body, Xia Yin had already guessed it.
The old man's strength during his lifetime was probably comparable to that of the first emperor of the Mystic Xia Empire, Empress Emperor Xia!
That is above the Supreme Martial Saint, almost reaching the God-level realm!
