Although the puppetry techniques recorded in the Puppet Art Summary are exquisite, they are not difficult to learn. The main problem is that they require a very high level of Divine Sense.

Chen Wang then devoted himself to studying this technique.

He mastered the technique in just seven days.

He took out Feng Qi's body.

There were no other injuries on Feng Qi's body, except for a penetrating wound on his forehead, which was caused by Chen Wang's finger.

At this moment, Chen Wang activated the puppet technique and then sent a portion of his Divine Sense into Feng Qi's body.

As he activated the puppet technique, Feng Qi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, Shi Meng slowly stood up! Chen Wang stood still, but Feng Qi could move and speak, and the expression on his face was lifelike, as if he had really come to life.

If you ignored the small hole in his head that allowed you to see behind him...

At this moment, a wisp of Chen Wang's Divine Sense was presiding over Feng Qi's body.

He controlled his speech and movements, a very strange feeling, as if he were in control of a mecha.

However, Chen Wang sensed that Feng Qi didn't have much magic Law Power left in his body.

Seven days have passed since his death, and his Law Power continues to dissipate.

He's only equivalent to a cultivator at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining now.

Chen Wang tried to activate the Law Technique, but the Law Power in the corpse was being consumed even faster, like a leaky kettle.

After all, people can no longer cultivate or absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi after they die.

Although the physique of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator, it is still not as strong as that of a Body Refinement cultivator.

Chen Wang sensed it and realized, "So that's where the problem lies. Even if I control the corpse of a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, I can't unleash the full power of the Foundation Establishment Realm because of the problem with my Law Power."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

This puppetry technique was extremely sophisticated. Chen Wang controlled Feng Qi's body very smoothly, without the slightest obscurity.

"The combination of control techniques and puppetry should be quite powerful," Chen Wang muttered to himself.

At this moment, he was reminiscing about the days when Old Wang was around. If Old Wang were here, he could ask him for advice.

Old Wang understands many profound teachings, and his insight is extraordinary; he can even offer guidance to those who don't understand.

"It's a pity that we still haven't found any trace of Old Wang. I wonder where he's off having fun," Chen Wang sighed.

Next, he sensed the strength of Feng Qi's body again, but was still not satisfied.

Even if such strength were used, its power would not be strong, and it would also distract one.

"If you control a powerful corpse, you can unleash astonishing combat power."

"But there are already few body cultivators, and peak body cultivators are even harder to find."

But a moment later, Chen Wang's eyes lit up, "Isn't there one right here?"

A streak of light pierced through the sky at Yellow Wind Mountain, and Chen Wang arrived at this place.

In Yellow Wind Mountain, he had previously fought against a powerful Female Corpse.

The Female Corpse possessed a powerful physique, comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Chen Wang struck her with the Thunder Dao Law Artifact, the Altar Suppressing Wood, but it didn't kill her.

Such a ferocious creature, with such an excellent physique, if it could be refined into a puppet, it would add another powerful force to his ranks.

The Yellow Wind Mountain is fraught with danger, with some powerful Demon Beast lurking within. Although Chen Wang is currently at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage, he dares not let his guard down.

No one knows what kind of ferocious creature might be lurking in these Desolate Mountain and wilderness.

Chen Wang concealed his aura but extended his Divine Sense to search the surrounding environment.

Over the past few days, he finally found traces of the Female Corpse's body.

This Female Corpse had developed sentience, and quite remarkably so.

Her corpse possessed Spiritual Qi and was not an ordinary Zombies. It had already developed the instinct to hunt and would lure some cultivators here. Its speech was no different from that of a living person.

At this moment, the Female Corpse was hugging and gnawing on the corpse of a cultivator.

He was a young cultivator, and the longsword in his hand had fallen to the ground.

When Chen Wang sensed it with his Divine Sense, his body twitched unconsciously a few times.

But when Chen Wang arrived, he had already become a dried-up corpse, completely drained, his life Essence Blood completely drained.

The Female Corpse had somehow acquired a set of clothes, all white and spotless, making her appear somewhat otherworldly.

However, there was some blood at the corner of her mouth, and the smell of blood was extremely strong.

She had a very keen sense of smell and immediately turned her head when she heard the sound of wind.

Upon seeing Chen Wang, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's you!"

Chen Wang had previously appeared by the pool and interacted with her.

The two encountered each other a few more times, but at that time she was of no use to Chen Wang, and Chen Wang did not fight her to the death.

However, the two were sworn enemies. Chen Wang stole the spirit medicine she was guarding, so the two were extremely hostile to each other.

Chen Wang chuckled. "Why are you still doing this kind of thing in the mountains? Isn't it shameful?"

The Female Corpse flew into a rage and, without saying a word, reached out to grab Chen Wang! She took a step that covered more than ten feet, and in two steps she was in front of Chen Wang, her hands outstretched.

Her ten fingers were as delicate as jade, exquisitely beautiful hands that any man would want to hold and caress.

But this hand has also taken countless lives.

At that moment, he reached out and grabbed, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle! This Female Corpse has gained another stroke of good fortune recently, making her even stronger.

Although her fingernails had not grown to two feet as long as before, but were no different from those of an ordinary person, their power was even stronger, capable of piercing gold and splitting rocks.

Chen Wang's Qi and Blood surged like a rainbow, and Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound and leopards crackled and popped within his body!

His body swelled several inches, and he slammed a punch into the Female Corpse's chest! Although he was slower to attack, he struck first and knocked the Female Corpse back with a single punch!

Clang! The Female Corpse staggered back several steps, each step leaving a deep crater in the ground.

Her physique was truly formidable; at this moment, she was barefoot with a pair of slender, jade-like feet, and every step she took could leave a deep pit.

Chen Wang liked it even more after seeing it.

"That figure is really nice."

At this moment, the Female Corpse bent her legs slightly, and like a cannonball, she charged towards Chen Wang again with a bang, raising a cloud of dust! But this time, Chen Wang's Divine Sense shot out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a sharp sword.

The fact that ordinary Divine Sense attacks were ineffective against her does not mean that the Female Corpse could defend against Divine Sense attacks.

Zombies are inherently soulless and spiritless, but the fact that she developed sentience is both a stroke of luck and her weakness.

It's not that one can be immune to Soul Attack, but rather that the Soul Attack must be strong enough! At this moment, Chen Wang unleashed his Heart Sword...

"Ahhh!"

The Female Corpse screamed, and the attack stopped abruptly. She knelt on the ground.

She was immediately terrified, and fear appeared in her cold eyes.

The sudden burst of Divine Sense from the other party was so astonishing that it filled her with fear.

Like a startled rabbit, all traces of bloodlust and murderous intent vanished from her, leaving her looking weak, helpless, and pitiful.

He quickly cried out, "Don't kill me!"

Although she looked frail, she suddenly moved and shot out like an arrow!

Chen Wang already knew that the Female Corpse was treacherous, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

He moved swiftly and swept away.

The two sped through the mountains and fields, one after the other, weaving through the trees.

The Female Corpse was incredibly fast, and Chen Wang's Movement Method were also very graceful. He took a step and chased after her.

Unable to shake off the Female Corpse, Chen Wang Chen Wang approached, and a sharp sword shot out from his Divine Sense.

The Female Corpse let out a scream and fell to her knees again.

This kneeling motion wasn't graceful; she just lay face down on the ground with her buttocks sticking up.

Her head slammed into a blue stone on the ground, shattering the hard stone into pieces.

Her fair face was only covered with some dust.

At this moment, a Six Souls Heart Refining Curse rushed up, causing people to lose their minds and souls.

The intelligence of this Female Corpse was not as refined as that of a normal cultivator's soul.

He was then struck by a series of severe blows and screamed in agony.

"Aaaaaaah!"

She lay on the ground, clutching her head and sobbing, banging her head back and forth like a stone mill.

His powerful physique was on full display at this moment, and pieces of bluestone were crushed into powder.

A tree that takes three or four people to hug was hit and snapped in two with a crack.

The Female Corpse, with her long hair disheveled, suddenly slammed her hand on the ground, stood up abruptly, and charged straight at Chen Wang, appearing as if she had gone mad!

Chen Wang's Divine Sense spread out directly, rushing over like a storm.

This time, he wanted to subdue the Female Corpse, all for the sake of her body.

This body must not be damaged in the slightest.

Therefore, Chen Wang used his Divine Sense to fight.

His Movement Method were ethereal, constantly shifting and attacking the Female Corpse with his Divine Sense.

Not only that, he also activated the talismans in his hands to ward off evil and bring good fortune one by one.

He had many talismans in his hand and moved with lightning speed, hovering around the Female Corpse.

The Female Corpse resembled a fierce tiger, and its power was terrifying.

However, after losing his rationality, his judgment greatly declined, and he couldn't catch Chen Wang's trail at all.

Chen Wang pasted yellow Talisman Paper on her chest, lower abdomen, forehead, and back.

The Female Corpse corpse moved slower and slower, but her roars grew louder and louder, shaking the mountains and fields.

Finally, the Female Corpse stood rooted to the spot, unable to move; Chen Wang had nearly severed the last vestige of consciousness within her.

Finally, they were all brought under control by these Yellow Talisman.

The cinnabar seals on these Yellow Talisman lit up.

One of the Talisman Paper burned completely, while the Talisman Paper continued to get hot.

Suppressing this Foundation Establishment Realm Female Corpse consumed a great deal of energy.

Chen Wang activated his Heart Sword, unleashed his Divine Sense, and used the Heart Refining Incantation to finally obliterate the Female Corpse's consciousness completely.

Although he didn't know how the corpse had gained sentience or how it was different from ordinary Zombies.

But for Chen Wang, a powerful and obedient puppet is the most important thing.

Keeping this cunning Female Corpse around is like having a ticking time bomb; it would be better to erase her intelligence and refine her anew.

After wiping it off, Chen Wang wanted to test it again. The simplest way to determine its authenticity was to put it away in Storage Bag.

The Storage Bag can only collect living things. If this Female Corpse has sentience, it is not considered an inanimate object and cannot be collected.

Soon, the Female Corpse was pulled by the Storage Bag, shrank, and was about to fly backwards into it.

But just then, whoosh! A streak of light pierced through the air and destroyed Chen Wang's Storage Bag.

Storage Bag aren't unbreakable; otherwise, many people wouldn't carefully store their Storage Bag during battles, fearing they might be broken.

Of course, the higher the quality of the Storage Artifact, the more difficult it is to break.

The golden light shattered Chen Wang's Storage Bag in an instant, its power extraordinary.

Chen Wang looked up and saw a dark shadow flying towards him like a large bird, arriving in front of him in a few leaps.

This is a middle-aged Daoist priest, carrying a Peach Wood Sword on his back, looking rather dashing.

It was he who shattered the Storage Bag from a distance with a single Sword Qi strike.

Chen Wang frowned. "Who are you?"

"I am Yun Song, this is a very ominous creature, and I wish to subdue it."

The middle-aged Daoist priest spoke slowly.

"You bastard..." Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Are you lying through your teeth, or are you just spouting nonsense? I've already subdued her, can't you see?"

The middle-aged Daoist priest carrying Peach Wood Sword smiled and said, "Destroying this kind of malevolent Female Corpse is the Righteous Path to do. I wonder what you want with it, young friend?"

Chen Wang rambled on in a serious tone. "To be buried is to be at peace."

The middle-aged Daoist priest smiled slightly, "So that's how it is. I absolutely forbid anyone from raising or refining corpses."

"If anyone practices this Evil Method, I will kill them."

Chen Wang sneered, "Are you serious?"

The middle-aged Daoist priest said with a serious expression, "Of course it's true. Raising corpses is Evil Method. The waters here are too deep. Young friend, you are still young and cannot handle it. Let me deal with this monstrous Female Corpse."

Chen Wang's eyes were sharp as swords as he sneered, "You talk a good game, but it looks to me like you're trying to steal this corpse."

"To shatter my Storage Artifact with a single move, this is not the behavior of a reputable sect."

Yun Song Daoren said, "I acted hastily just now, and I apologize if I offended you. However, you really cannot take this Female Corpse with you."

Chen Wang never expected to encounter such a Daoist priest.

His face darkened, and with a clang, the Green Ox Sword was drawn from its sheath, and he held the sword in his hand.

"You destroyed the Law Artifact and didn't even mention compensation, trying to just brush it off with a single sentence!"

"Since that's the case, I won't ask for more. I'll use one of your arms as an apology."

Chen Wang roared and thrust his sword out! This strike was as fast as lightning and as swift as thunder.

The Sword Qi was chilling and menacing.

Yun Song Daoren raised an eyebrow, and the Peach Wood Sword on his back was drawn on its own, speeding through the air and turning into a streak of lightning to meet Chen Wang's sword tip.

With a clang, the sound of metal clashing rang out.

The two sides were evenly matched in this sword strike.

That seemingly light peach Peach Wood Sword was actually heavier than a thousand pounds and indestructible.

"Such great strength, such fast swordsmanship."

The Yun Song Daoren was amazed.

Chen Wang, sword in one hand, charged forward with overwhelming force.

The middle-aged Daoist Yun Song could fight him to a draw even with his Peach Wood Sword sword. Yun Song's magical Law Power was much stronger than Chen Wang's, and his swordsmanship was also much better than Chen Wang's.

"What a formidable opponent."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Without answering, he unleashed three swift sword strikes! The three Sword Qi pierced the air, each one continuous and unbroken, like a great river.

"Great River Sword Art".

The middle-aged Daoist priest Yun Song, exclaimed in surprise.

He recognized Chen Wang's sword technique!
