Ruined Land
After flying for a while, Chen Mobai arrived at a place not far from where the Formless Puppet was located.
He used his Puppetry Technique to try and summon the Formless Puppet, but after waiting for a long time, he found that the Puppetry remained motionless.
After searching the vicinity, no trace of the Puppetry was found.
Chen Mobai sat cross-legged on the ground and began to use his Spiritual Sense to sense the Puppetry.
After Core Formation, he was able to unleash the full power of this peak- Immortal Sect Puppetry, so he quickly found its location by following the coordinates of his Spiritual Sense.
As if breaking through a barrier, Chen Mobai opened his eyes and looked around from the Puppetry's perspective, his face showing surprise and doubt.
This is an underground cave. Pure spiritual energy overflows in the air. I used the Puppetry's built-in function to measure it and found that it has the Spirit Energy Value of the Third Grade- level low grade.
How did the Puppetry get in? With this question in mind, Chen Mobai began to activate the Formless Puppet puppet with his wisp of Spiritual Sense. He took a look and found that the High-grade Spirit Stone placed in the power core had only 2% of its spiritual energy left, and was almost completely dried up.
Logically speaking, this High-grade Spirit Stone should be enough to keep the Puppetry functioning normally for more than ten years without intense battles.
After activating the Puppetry's low-power mode, Chen Mobai drained the last bit of spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone and began to walk towards the ground.
If his Spirit Stone were at full strength, he could directly use the Formless Puppet to simulate sword energy bursting from the ground, but now he could only slowly walk along the path of this underground cave.
After walking for a while, Chen Mobai saw skeletons through the Puppetry's perspective. Some were human cultivators, and some were Demon Beast. It seemed that this place was a feeding ground for some kind of monster.
To his surprise, he found a storage bag next to the skeleton of a human cultivator.
As they walked, they picked up items along the way. By the time the Formless Puppet reached the ground, it had three storage bags on its body.
"Strange, what exactly is down there?"
Chen Mobai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, looked at the dust-covered Formless Puppet that had walked up to him, took out a new High-grade Spirit Stone, and put it into the puppet.
Amidst the clinking and tinkling sounds, Chen Mobai emptied the contents of the three storage bags.
But then I discovered something quite surprising.
All the Spirit Stone here have been drained of their spiritual energy, turning into a dry and broken state. Even some Magic Artifact have dimmed spiritual light, as if they have lost their effectiveness after being eroded by the long years.
Chen Mobai recognized some familiar patterns: the Golden Halberd of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace, and some Gold Crystal.
Could the person who died below be a disciple of that Eastern Yi Great Sect? It's a pity that the Gold Qi contained in the Gold Crystal is also a variant of spiritual energy, and it was also drained like the Spirit Stone. Otherwise, Chen Mobai could have cultivated the Falling Treasure Golden Light.
"Let me see what's going on."
After replacing the Spirit Stone, Chen Mobai immediately accessed the data stored in the core of the Formless Puppet. He scrolled through the darkness that began when the Spirit Stone ran out and the system crashed, and finally saw the key.
Suddenly, the earth split open, and a huge mouth opened up to swallow the sky. The Formless Puppet that was traveling in mid-air began to struggle.
With abundant spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone, the Formless Puppet was able to unleash power close to that of Core Formation, but it still managed to escape the terrifying devouring force with great difficulty.
Unfortunately, after escaping once, they encountered it a second time, a third time...
On the fourth attempt, the Spirit Stone of the Formless Puppet were exhausted, and it could no longer sustain itself. It was swallowed by the cracked earth and plunged into darkness.
It wasn't until Chen Mobai returned that he sensed it and awakened it.
"Is someone deliberately targeting us? Or are we just unlucky and have encountered something so strange?"
The Ruined Land between the Eastern Wasteland and the Eastern Yi is home to many unknown and strange forces and powerful Demon Beast. The Eastern Yi and the Eastern Wasteland were originally part of this region, but it was opened up by the disciples and followers of the major sects in the Eastern Lands and became the current Six Domains of the Eastern Lands.
Although human cultivators dominate the Sky River Realm, demon and ghost cultivators are not to be outdone. In addition to the Six Domains of the Eastern Lands, there are also Holy Land of the demon race.
The land of Eastern Li was originally a buffer zone between the human race and the demon race, and also a battlefield.
The reason why Demonic Cultivator were able to take root and flourish there was because the Eastern Lands needed them as the first line of defense against the demon race.
However, at times, Demonic Cultivator would also go mad and join forces with the demon race to come to the Eastern Lands. At the most dangerous time, almost half of the Eastern Lands was lost. Many Holy Land prepared for the destruction of their Ancestral Land and sent their core disciples to flee to the Eastern Wasteland Ruins with their inheritance.
The territories of Eastern Yi, Eastern Wasteland, and Eastern Wu were thus opened up.
These Ruined Land also harbor many dangers, such as the Yellow Dragon Demon Beast that occupied the Cloud Dream Great River more than 6,000 years ago, which ravaged the three realms and no one could subdue it.
Fortunately, True Monarch Yi Yuan emerged from the descendants of the Pioneer Cultivator. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he swept away Fourth Grade and above Demon Beast in this Ruined Land. Otherwise, without a Nascent Soul cultivator to guard it, it would have been impossible to survive safely in this Ruined Land.
Chen Mobai recalled the contents he had seen in the Book of Years of the Divine Wood Sect, and his expression changed slightly. He looked solemnly at the earth that had devoured the Formless Puppet.
More than 6,000 years have passed since the ascension of the True Monarch Yi Yuan. It is very likely that the Demon Beast and strange creatures in this Ruined Land will give birth to Fourth Grade again.
This kind of existence is already equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.
Just as Chen Mobai was considering whether to use the Formless Puppet to go down and test it again, two beams of spiritual light suddenly appeared within the range of his Spiritual Sense sense.
His expression shifted slightly, silver light flashed, and he had already hidden himself in the Golden Core Domain.
However, the Formless Puppet, now refilled with Spirit Stone, concealed all spiritual energy fluctuations and hid under a large tree.
After waiting for a while, two beams of light flew into the sky.
There were two Foundation Establishment Cultivator, one fleeing and the other in pursuit.
"I am a disciple of Kong Sang Valley. If you kill me, my sect will never let you go."
An angry voice rang out, and a beautiful female cultivator in a purple dress was seen wielding a Purple Bamboo Flute, struggling to defend against the attack of a cultivator dressed entirely in black robes and wearing a black mask, revealing only a pair of pale white pupils.
Golden rays of light, shimmering in the black-robed cultivator's hands, transformed into a golden torrent that poured towards the purple-clad female cultivator. The powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy caused the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble continuously.
The flute magic Magic Artifact in the purple-clad female cultivator's hand was of mediocre quality, and after a while, it cracked open.
She gritted her teeth and took out a flower basket from her storage bag. A clear light shone from the basket, barely resisting the golden flames.
"Hand over your storage bag, and I'll spare your life."
The masked cultivator deliberately spoke in a hoarse tone, but his hands continued to move, and another golden flame condensed, the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations revealing his strength.
"You made no attempt to conceal the magic of the Xuanxiao Dao Palace; you had no intention of letting me leave."
The purple-clad female cultivator stopped pretending at this moment. In an icy tone, she took out a dark blue Talisman, bit her tongue, and spat out a drop of her Essence Blood to activate it.
"Dark Azure Divine Thunder Talisman!"
The masked cultivator also recognized the Talisman. Slightly surprised, he finally took out his own Magic Artifact, a golden ring, which, judging from its spiritual energy fluctuations, was at least a high-grade Second Grade item.
"Golden Ring, it was you all along..."
The moment the woman in purple saw the Magic Artifact, she recognized the identity of the person chasing her. She gritted her teeth and took out another defensive Talisman activate.
Just as the two of them were pushing their spiritual power to its maximum, the chaotic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy around them finally attracted the mysterious existence underground.
The earth began to tremble, and then a crack appeared, growing larger and larger, like a giant mouth.
A powerful devouring force instantly enveloped the two combatants in the sky.
"Not good..."
At this moment, the two could no longer care about attacking each other. They desperately activated their escape techniques, and two beams of spiritual light, one purple and one gold, flashed continuously as they struggled against the devouring power and flew outwards.
However, their Foundation Establishment level was clearly insufficient to resist, and their figures gradually fell towards the mouth that had split open in the ground.
Pfft! Pfft! Chen Mobai, who was hiding in the shadows, finally witnessed the decisiveness of the native cultivators of the Sky River Realm. Both of them spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, and their bodies were shrouded in blood mist. But at that moment, the speed of their escape techniques suddenly broke through the limit.
Then they each aimed their Talisman and Magic Artifact at the earth, unleashing their most powerful attacks, and actually managed to escape the area enveloped by the devouring power.
Just when the two thought they had escaped, the mouth that had split open from the earth suddenly changed direction and quickly appeared below the masked monk.
The earth opened its mouth again, and this time, the masked cultivator used all his strength to devour it. In the end, he almost exhausted his Essence Blood, and his whole body became thinner. His exposed skin withered before he barely managed to escape.
The cultivators in the Sky River Realm are indeed incredibly resilient; they never give up until they are in dire straits.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Unfortunately, faced with the third crack in the earth, the masked cultivator, having exhausted his essence pills, had no other choice but to be swallowed into the earth in despair.
In that instant, Chen Mobai's Formless Puppet, with its high-speed perspective, finally captured its true form.
It was a mass that resembled neither stone nor flesh, exuding a jet-black Tai Sui.
This is a precious elixir.
Tai Sui is also known as the fleshy Lingzhi, which is extremely sensitive to spiritual energy and can continuously absorb spiritual substances to grow.
From the first to the Fifth Order, the red ones are like coral, the white ones like fat, the black ones like lacquer, the blue ones like kingfisher feathers, and the yellow ones like Purple Gold, all of them bright and clear like solid ice.
When Chen Mobai was studying at the Immortal Sect Sky Mending Dao Academy, Lou Fengcheng told him that they raised a Fourth Grade Tai Sui in their Small Realm. Every time they refined the Three Infant-Formation Spirit Medicines, they would cut off a piece and feed it to some spiritual creatures, and it would quickly grow back. It was a famous example of sustainable spiritual medicine in the Immortal Sect.
The Tai Sui in front of them was as black as ink yet radiated a luster, clearly Third Grade spiritual object, and almost at the Third Tier Peak.
Chen Mobai was instantly tempted. If he could capture it, he would at least be able to collect one less main ingredient for refining the Nascent Soul Formation Spirit Medicine in the Major General.
At this moment, Tai Sui changed direction again on the ground. It seemed to have Earth Element escape techniques and quickly arrived at the feet of the purple-clad female cultivator.
The earth cracked open, and the power of devouring reappeared.
Just as the purple-clad female cultivator was filled with despair, a hissing sound, like a bird's chirp, rang out in the distance.
She looked up and saw a majestic young man, like an immortal descending to earth, stepping out from the void. With a wave of his hand, Tian Ling gathered in his palm, and a turquoise lightning bolt burst forth in an instant, piercing heavily into the gaping hole in the earth.
According to the Five Elements theory, wood overcomes earth. Only after Chen Mobai Core Formation did this Third-tier Perfection- tier Wood Attribute Thunder Method truly unleash its power in his hands.
With a deafening boom, the earth began to tremble, and streams of pitch-black Tai Sui blood began to gush out from the opening. A vast and boundless Earth Origin Force erupted, transforming into an earth-yellow radiance, which struggled to drive away the Yi Wood Divine Thunder.
Although this Tai Sui did not understand cultivation, it had devoured spiritual things in this Ruined Land for countless years Earth Origin Force in its body was vast and powerful, almost at the Third Grade high level. Relying on the strength of its energy, after suppressing the Wood Attribute lightning, it shrank on the spot, seemingly about to hide deep into the earth.
But at this moment, Chen Mobai had already activated a killing move of the Crimson Flame Sword Art. Nine Azure Flame Sword Sha plunged into the earth ahead of time, transforming into an azure net that caught the Tai Sui that was about to sink.
As the Tai Sui sank down, it felt as if its whole body was being torn to pieces by a thousand knives. An instinctive sense of crisis made it want to move to the left or right.
The pale blue net closed towards the center as Chen Mobai clenched his right hand.
After a pitiful cry, Tai Sui had no choice but to rush out towards the gap in the net that had not yet closed, that is, the upper part.
Rumble! The earth shattered completely, and a huge, black chunk of flesh, carrying the earthy smell and a vast amount of Earth Origin Force, surged out of the ground and rushed towards Chen Mobai in mid-air.
Just as the purple-clad female cultivator exclaimed in surprise, an Bronze Mirror flew out from Chen Mobai's sleeve, transforming into a huge round shield that blocked Tai Sui's desperate attack head-on.
With a muffled thud, Chen Mobai's body trembled slightly.
This Tai Sui's vital energy was excessively abundant; if he hadn't relied on the power of the magic weapon, he might not have been able to block it.
After the first impact, Tai Sui's earthy yellow energy suddenly became even more concentrated, as if it were about to make a desperate attack.
Chen Mobai clenched his right hand, controlling the Azure Flame Sword Sha, and the azure net enveloping the Tai Sui suddenly unleashed Flowing Light of cyan light, instantly piercing through its interior and exterior.
After a loud scream, the purple-clad female cultivator saw the powerful Third Grade demon that had left her helpless turn into a blue hedgehog, spewing out Black Liquid as it fell to the ground.
These liquids were also spiritual substances, Chen Mobai did not waste them. He used his Water Control Technique to collect them all.
However, the most precious item is naturally this Tai Sui.
He took out a Talisman to seal the spirit's consciousness and affixed it. Since he didn't have Spirit Beast Pouch and this thing was alive, he could only put it into his own Realm Domain for the time being.
After doing all this, he looked at the purple-clad female cultivator hovering in mid-air not far away.
