"As expected of the Green Corpse Secret Demon Puppet, no matter how skilled you are, you'll fall for it if you're not prepared!"
Above the altar, He Ping slowly opened his eyes, genuinely surprised by this mysterious and unpredictable place.
According to ancient texts, the Three Corpses Gods originated from the Daoist concept of guarding the Gengshen day. Among the Three Corpses, the Upper Corpse is located on the head and is named Pengju, also known as " Azure Maiden ". This corpse can "attack the upper part of a person, causing blindness, hair loss, bad breath, wrinkles, and tooth loss."
Based on this characteristic, the predecessors of the Immortal Puppet Sect created three extremely powerful puppets named after the Three Corpse Gods. Among them, the Green Corpse Secret Demon Puppet is good at hiding and can hide in the void, using " Formless String " to control living people as puppets.
Those controlled by it, whether ordinary people or cultivators, will not experience any change in their aura. Even experts who have entered the Dao will not be able to detect any flaws without unique detection methods.
"However, those who have entered the Dao realm cannot be controlled by the Green Corpse Secret Demon Puppet. Their Dao techniques are profound and their cultivation is extremely high, making it difficult for the Green Corpse Secret Demon Puppet to seize their consciousness and control their bodies. But if they can refine the White Corpse and the Crimson Corpse in the future, and combine the three corpses, even those who have entered the Dao realm will find it difficult to escape their clutches!"
He Ping sighed deeply. Even if he had refined a green corpse, it was only the last mile; there was still a long way to go before he could refine the three corpses together.
"There's no need to rush. To successfully refine the Three Corpses, one must at least have the cultivation level of the Dao Immortal Puppet Sect throughout history have been able to do so. After all, the difficulty of refining this Three Corpses Secret Demon Puppet is almost comparable to another extremely difficult puppet to refine, the ' Emperor Aspect Divine Soldier '."
Among the many puppets recorded in the < Formless Secret Treasury >, he felt that there were two types of puppets that were the most difficult to refine: one was the Three Corpses Secret Demon Puppet, and the other was a puppet known as the Emperor Aspect Divine Soldier.
The most difficult part of forging the Giant-Form Divine Soldier is collecting materials. To make a Giant-Form Divine Soldier, one must find the remains of the ancient giant from the legendary Dragon Earl Kingdom.
Legend has it that at the far north, in the polar regions covered in ice and snow, there exists a kingdom called " Dragon Earl Kingdom ".
The inhabitants of the Dragon Earl Kingdom are all giants. They call themselves Danfu People. Their people are generally thirty zhang tall, and some are hundreds of zhang tall. They are as huge as mountains, standing tall and upright. They are also called "giants" in their tribe.
The Danfu People are not made of flesh and blood; their skin is like gold and stone, their blood is like liquid gold and mercury, and their bones are lapis lazuli. These giants all look alike, with rugged faces, bronze heads and iron foreheads, features as if carved by a knife and axe, and ears and temples like swords and halberds. They are very imposing and have been feeding on mountain minerals for generations.
The giants of the Danfu Clan rarely have any contact with the outside world. They worship the Ancestral Dragon born in High Antiquity times and regard the dragon as a belief. It is said that the earliest lineage of the Dragon Worship Sect originated from the Danfu People of the Dragon Earl Kingdom.
The experts of the Immortal Puppet Sect once found a tomb of the Danfu People in the far north, where they found the remains of several giants and forged them into a colossal " Emperor Aspect Divine Soldier ". This puppet is incredibly strong. Although it would be an exaggeration to describe it as "carrying a mountain on its shoulders and the moon", it is not impossible for it to uproot a small mountain!
"The far north, the Dragon Earl Kingdom, I should definitely visit sometime..."
He was also very interested in the " Emperor Aspect Divine Soldier " recorded in the < Formless Secret Treasury >. After all, he hadn't expected that the predecessors of the Immortal Puppet Sect would even create a Gundam, using the body of a giant of the Danfu Clan to refine a puppet. This was truly an imaginative idea, and he couldn't help but admire it.
While pondering silently, He Ping mobilized his divine soul and began his daily practice. His cultivation was becoming increasingly profound, and he no longer needed to transform the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi into a cloud of five colors every night, scattering endless light and clouds, and rising into the sky to manifest the scenes of the Immortal Palace and the Asura Blood Prison.
Instead, he ordered the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi to tightly protect the island to resist external disturbances. He then devoted himself to cultivation. In just a moment, his own spiritual power pierced through the void, and his soul also drifted into the sky.
As if he had broken through some kind of shackle, his mind went blank for a moment, and his thoughts seemed to have crossed time and space, entering a profound and immeasurable realm of wonder.
He Ping worked diligently every day, and through this daily arduous practice, his consciousness was refined to become increasingly pure.
He could feel that as he practiced his profound arts and meditated in meditation, his mind became increasingly clear, bright, and radiant.
In particular, within the void of his mind, the nine soul palaces he had cultivated using the " Nine Palaces Bright Moon Ascension Method " were constantly undergoing changes in light and darkness as he cultivated day and night. They appeared intricate and complex, yet contained a certain underlying pattern.
As for his " Four Limbs and Five Senses," he had been practicing diligently for a long time, but his progress was slow. After arriving on the island, with his daily practice, his progress was steady. His "four limbs" had long been perfected, and his five senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body) were also close to perfection.
"Even my ' Void Confinement ' ability, which allows me to sense the connection Celestial Person, has improved considerably. Previously, it only covered a maximum range of three zhang, but now it covers ten zhang..."
With a thought, he could seal off an area within ten zhang. Within this range, the primordial energy of heaven and earth was at his command. With just a thought, even the moisture in the air would condense into tiny water droplets and remain still, making it difficult for other attacks to penetrate this ten-zhang range.
"It's still a bit short of completion. I feel something within me is brewing a change. Once it's complete, there will be a revolutionary transformation!"
He was pondering it himself. This kind of understanding of a higher realm is very clear, but it requires personal grasp.
He Ping knew that if he took another step forward and Great Cheng of communion with the Celestial Person, he would be able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. However, considering this, his brows furrowed tightly.
"... To comprehend the Heavenly Dao?"
--If the records in the ancient scriptures of various schools are accurate, then cultivators in this world who attempt to comprehend Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao will face certain risks.
This is common knowledge in the cultivation world. It means that the Heavenly Dao has been distorted. When cultivators comprehend the Celestial Person and sense the Heavenly Dao Mother, they may be contaminated by the Heavenly Dao. Some call it the "poison of immortality," while others call it "Dao staining." This also shows the fear that the cultivation world of this realm has of the Heavenly Dao.
The sage and master of the Daoist lineage, the " Hemp-Robe Dao Palace," the Old Man Yixia of Hidden Way Lineage, once used his divine Law Power to secretly measure the changes in the Dao of Heavenly Dao through meditation. Afterwards, he was severely injured and had to enter a death retreat to face the calamity.
Before he went into seclusion, he told several of his successors and disciples that after the Heavenly Dao was distorted, all sorts of strange changes would occur from time to time. Every thousand years, a cycle of changes in the three laws of "Heaven", "Earth", and "Man" would begin. This was the " Spring-Autumn Great Calamity " for cultivators in this world!
Each time the Great Tribulation of Spring-Autumn Great Calamity begins, the three laws of Heaven, Earth, and Man tilt to their own extremes. Cultivators in this realm will sense this abnormal shift in the flow of the Heavenly Dao, bringing unexpected changes. Even those who have entered the True Dharma will become unstable, causing a great upheaval in the cultivation world.
" The Heavenly Dao, suspended high above heaven and earth, is the mother of all things, profound and unfathomable. All living beings are like ants under the operation of the Heavenly Dao..."
He Ping looked up at the sky. Even though the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi created by the " Great Veiling Curtain Method " obscured his vision, he could still look up at the starry sky above him and see the mysterious brilliance of the twinkling stars.
What secret lies behind this?
While He Ping diligently cultivated, the Zangling, Xie Shidi, Granny Sangling, and the Dark Ice Old Demon were also extremely diligent, attacking the island where he was almost every day at Hai hour (9-11 PM).
For more than ten consecutive days, every time it reached Hai hour (9-11 PM), these four masters would fly over the island and fiercely unleash their Law Technique to attack the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi surrounding the island.
After the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), all four of them were exhausted, drenched in sweat and panting heavily. Only when they saw the " Great Veiling Curtain Method " of Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi weakening day by day did they finally descend with satisfaction and fly to the deck of the ship they were staying on at sea to rest.
In He Ping's view, the four experts' daily efforts to attack the " Great Veiling Curtain Method " were like giving the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi a "gua sha" treatment. This was because the four had limited knowledge and did not know that He Ping had been practicing the technique for many days and had extracted the Five Yin Profound Fiends from the earth veins deep within this volcano to specially set up a restriction.
In recent days, the four experts, including Zangling, have been attacking the Volcano Island and the entire fire vein beneath it rather than the Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi.
It should be noted that He Ping had been practicing his magic for many days, condensing Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi to cover this Volcano Island. The altar he created became a pivot point of this seabed fiery energy vein. With his constant communication, its foundation was almost rooted deep into the vein, no less than a great formation. No matter how you used brute force to attack it, it remained unmoved and as solid as a rock.
However, He Ping was always soft-hearted. Considering the four people's diligent and conscientious efforts every day, he would appropriately weaken the intensity of the Black Fiery Cloud, giving the four people a glimmer of hope that they could break through the defense.
Fortunately, Zangling, Granny Sangling, Xie Shidi, and Dark Ice Old Demon were not idiots. After attacking for so long, they also noticed something was wrong.
"Have you noticed that something's wrong with these Black Cloud Fire Baleful Qi? Our daily attacks haven't been entirely fruitless, but the weakening effect is just a tiny bit each day..."
Just then, the Dark Ice Old Demon spoke thoughtfully.
"This?" Zangling pondered for a moment before uttering a question.
"It must just be an illusion, right?"
