Puppet Desolation Appears? Peak Violet Palace Realm

In a hilly area, three mountains rise abruptly from the ground, forming a long and narrow valley.

The valley was completely silent. In the void, a Spirit Boat appeared, and a person stepped off.

He looked into the valley.

Before he could even fly into the valley to investigate, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he retreated hastily.

Even so, it was still too late; countless sparks of light formed a terrifying spiritual explosion.

Like a volcanic eruption, it rolled towards that person.

The man quickly took out several defensive magical Law Treasure, and finally, he also took out a golden puppet.

The flames pierced through the defensive Law Treasures, smashing one of the earthen shields away. Only the golden puppet suddenly shone brightly, like a golden Buddhist statue.

Even so, the Buddha's body began to crack.

"Damn it!" the cultivator cursed angrily, then reluctantly retracted the golden puppet.

The light quickly dissipated, and the valley was completely leveled, leaving no trace of what had happened before.

The cultivator frantically searched his surroundings with his Divine Sense, but at this moment, there was no trace of him left.

His face instantly changed from gloomy to somewhat distorted. He angrily slapped the air and then disappeared into the valley.

Half a day later, the cultivator reappeared, his expression having returned to calm. This time, he left once again.

On the steep mountain peak, a red fruit tree extends from the cliff.

A few vermilion fruits grew.

Several birds excitedly swooped down from the mountain peak and finally landed on the Zhu Guo tree.

They chirped and twittered.

The next moment, a stone suddenly appeared in the air and crashed into the Vermilion Fruit Tree with a loud bang, causing all the birds to take flight.

The python pattern on the stone flowed, and the next moment, Ye Jingcheng also stepped forward.

Just as the cultivator had guessed, he hadn't gone far, so the other party's repeated probing was indeed effective.

However, Ye Jingcheng entered the Grotto-Heaven and had Stone Spirit use the Space-Hiding Art to hide in the void.

It's simply impossible for the other party to find it.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng's face was extremely gloomy, showing no joy whatsoever at the success of his evasion.

After killing the Heavenly Origin Dual Cultivators that Sun Slash, he set up a self-destruct Array and also placed Shadow Wood Puppet in the distance.

The cultivator's techniques and Law Treasure all came into his view.

He originally wanted to see if they were cultivators from the Zhang Family.

Unexpectedly, the person behind it all used methods that were extremely similar to those used by Ye Xuecang Ye Haicheng in the Puppet Wasteland incident.

That golden puppet was clearly the legendary Vajra Dharma Puppet.

Considering the wooden puppet, it's highly likely that this person is a descendant of the Puppet Wasteland, or perhaps they accidentally received the Puppet Wasteland's inheritance.

But Ye Jingcheng felt that it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that the Puppet Wasteland and the Artifact Wasteland will cooperate.

This suggests that the Zhang Family's power in the Far Western Sand Sea is likely even more formidable.

The Eight Desolations Sect once had eight desolations: Sword Wasteland, Puppet Wasteland, Pill Wasteland, Artifact Wasteland, Talisman Wasteland, Zhenhuang, Heaven Wasteland, and Beast Wasteland.

So far, we only know that the Ye Family is in the Beast Wasteland, the Wan Family in the Sword Wasteland, Zhang Family in the Artifact Wasteland. There are many more to come. If they all gather in the Far Western Sand Sea, then the sheer size of this force may be even greater than the Ye Family anticipated.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng could only pray that the other party was not Nascent Soul Cultivator.

After all, when the Eight Desolations Sect was destroyed, all the Golden Core and Nascent Soul were killed.

Although so many years have passed, it is still extremely difficult for Nascent Soul to emerge.

As far as Ye Jingcheng knew, only the Ziming True Lord of the Taiyi Sect had broken through in recent years.

Of course, regardless of the circumstances, the information that the Shadow Wood Puppet saw must be transmitted to Ye Haicheng and Ye Xuecang.

They know more secrets, and their judgment is naturally stronger.

After thinking for a while, Ye Jingcheng also placed the Vermilion Fruit Tree into the Grotto-Heaven.

Although this Vermilion Fruit Tree is just an ordinary tree without any Spiritual Qi, it can at least serve as food for some Cloud Deer or Mountain-Devouring Rats.

Since we've already seen it, we might as well not waste it.

Ye Jingcheng quickly took out his Spirit Boat and flew off into the distance.

A month later, Ye Jingcheng landed on Soaring Cloud Peak.

This time, he went straight up to the sky without stopping at the mountain peak.

This time, it wasn't Ye Haicheng who appeared in Soaring Cloud Lake, but Ye Haisheng.

"Uncle Haisheng!" Although Ye Jingcheng sensed something was amiss, Ye Haisheng was indeed two generations above him.

"These are high-grade Spirit Stones prepared for you by the Lineage. Work hard!" Ye Haisheng took out a Storage Bag.

This Storage Bag is not some other treasure, but rather a high-grade spirit Spirit Stone from a high-grade Spirit Stone vein in the Pill Wasteland Secret Realm.

For the past five years, the Ye Family has mined about forty high-grade Spirit Stones each year, and seven years have now passed.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Haisheng, for the gift!" Ye Jingcheng also took out a Storage Bag, Storage Bag were some third-tier spirit pills that Ye Jingcheng had refined.

"Thank you!" Ye Haisheng also cupped his hands in thanks.

After saying that, Ye Haisheng quietly flew out of the Array, intending to return to the Heavenly Poison Marsh.

Ye Jingcheng watched the other person's departing figure, speechless.

After all, their conversation was just too awkward.

Your thanks to me are completely meaningless.

But in reality, this is only possible because both parties are considering each other.

After all, Ye Haisheng was somewhat unconvinced by Ye Jingcheng before Ye Jingcheng fully displayed his talent.

Ye Jingcheng shook his head. He looked into his Storage Bag and saw a full two hundred high-grade Spirit Stones. His face immediately lit up with joy.

With these two hundred high-grade Spirit Stones, there will be no problem at all for the Spirit Veins in his Grotto-Heaven to be upgraded to the third-tier top-grade!

Ye Jingcheng put away his Storage Bag and immediately entered the Grotto-Heaven.

He first extracted the remnant souls of those Heavenly Origin Dual Cultivators and Earthly Branches, and then used the Soul-Snaring Banner to capture their souls.

Unfortunately, even though they were both Rogue Cultivators, they still possessed soul-binding abilities.

As soon as he used his soul-capturing technique, the remnant soul vanished even more completely.

Ye Jingcheng could only take out the Dream-Devouring Insect and absorb the remnant soul.

He then took out the Storage Bag for the Heavenly Origin Dual Cultivators.

The first thing that caught my eye was the wooden puppet.

This wooden puppet is made from Green Spring Heavenly Wood, a Heavenly Wood Puppet.

Furthermore, it reached the strength of a top-tier third-order cultivator, comparable to a peak Purple Mansion cultivator. Of course, it is naturally inferior to a peak Purple Mansion cultivator.

After all, puppets are inanimate.

However, this puppet can also Greenwood Forbidden Light, which is quite remarkable.

However, Ye Jingcheng dared not use this spirit puppet much; at least within the Yan Kingdom, he dared not take it out.

As people from the Puppet Wasteland, if they dared to lend out this wooden puppet, they likely had the ability to retrieve it or track it. Ye Jingcheng would naturally not make such a basic mistake.

Ye Jingcheng put away the wooden puppet and then took out the Dark Soul Scythe and the Five-Colored Profound Sword.

Both of these Law Treasures are excellent. The former can attack the Divine Soul and is a top-grade Law Treasure, although its release speed is a bit slow. The latter, the Five-Colored Profound Sword, is a third-tier high-grade Law Treasure, densely packed with attacks, making it extremely suitable for large-scale attacks.

As for the other Law Treasures, they weren't anything special.

Its value isn't very high.

But the next moment, Ye Jingcheng's face was full of joy.

Storage Bag were nearly 600,000 Spirit Stones, as well as a high-grade third-tier Spirit Gathering Formation and spirit-attracting Spirit Stones.

Although a third-grade high-quality item is somewhat inferior, it is still worth 500,000 Spirit Stones. Especially now that Spirit Gathering Formation and Spirit Stone attracting stones are scarce, its value will be even greater.

From this perspective, this was a windfall for him.

Ye Jingcheng put all of these away and went directly to the Spirit Eye Spring.

They began setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation and the spirit-attracting Spirit Stones.

Ye Jingcheng has now gained considerable experience in enhancing Spirit Veins and setting up Spirit Gathering Formation. After setting up all the array bases, he began to perform incantations to activate the Spirit Gathering Formation.

A short while later, as the last spiritual incantation was cast, beams of spiritual light began to emanate and intertwine, gathering spiritual radiance in the air once more.

Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng quickly buried the high-grade Spirit Stones again.

This time, he buried a full two hundred high-grade Spirit Stones, as well as a considerable number of mid- Spirit Stone and low-grade Spirit Stones.

This ensures that the quality of the Spirit Veins is as high as possible.

Once these steps were completed, a ripple of Spiritual Qi energy spread outwards through the air.

Feeling the Spiritual Qi energy intensity increase again, directly reaching the level of the third-tier top grade, Ye Jingcheng was overjoyed and also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now, he can finally devote himself entirely to his secluded cultivation and breakthrough.

With the Spirit Veins enhanced, the intensity of Spiritual Qi within the Grotto-Heaven also visibly increased.

The Grotto-Heaven Stone Spirit and the Peachwood Demon both arrived behind Ye Jingcheng, both overjoyed at the improvement in the Spirit Veins.

In the following period, Ye Jingcheng continued his seclusion and intensive training.

Every day at Chenshi (7-9 AM), he would begin his physical training, tempering his body in the Heavenly Gang Body-Tempering Grand Formation.

Once the physical body has been sufficiently tempered, one begins to train the Divine Soul.

Finally, one should cultivate the Five Spirit True Canon to enhance one's True Essence.

Another year has passed. On this day, Ye Jingcheng stepped down from the Body Tempering Array, intending to take out the Dream-Devouring Insect to enhance his Divine Soul.

But the moment he stepped down, his Divine Soul surged outwards like a spring, spreading outwards for tens of feet, hundreds of feet, thousands of feet, until the entire Grotto-Heaven fell into his Divine Sense.

It was clear that his Divine Sense had naturally broken through due to his cultivation during this period.

At this moment, his Divine Soul and Divine Sense had also reached the peak of the third tier.

A feeling of comfort arose spontaneously, and if one looked closely at this moment, one could see that the Profound Body Spirit Patterns on his body surface were beginning to partially embed into his body.

After a year of continuous consumption of blood-based foods, coupled with his current level of cultivation...

Ye Jingcheng's physical body has now reached the peak of the mid-stage of the second tier.

It won't be long before I break through to the late stage of the second tier.

Seeing that his Divine Soul had broken through, Ye Jingcheng surprisingly did not continue to take out the Dream-Devouring Insect, but instead walked to the Peachwood.

There were three peaches on the tree.

Each one is the size of an adult's palm and radiates a bright, spiritual light.

Seeing that the spirit fruits were almost ripe, Ye Jingcheng picked all three.

Then place it in the jade box.

"Keep up the good work!" Ye Jingcheng looked at the Peachwood Demon, gave it two wood hearts as a reward, and infused it with some Treasure Radiance.

"Thank you, Master. Next time, Little Demon will definitely produce more than eight seeds and I will not slack off!" Peachwood thanked him repeatedly.

Ye Jingcheng, on the other hand, once again immersed himself in cultivation.

Three years have passed quietly once again.

On this day, inside the Grotto-Heaven, Ye Jingcheng stepped down from the body-tempering array.

The Profound Body Spirit Patterns on his body completely disappeared into his body.

This also means that Ye Jingcheng's physical cultivation has finally broken through to the Purple Mansion.

Furthermore, he successfully cultivated the second level of the Profound Wasteland Tyrant Body Secret Canon.

He cultivated the Wasteland Body!

His physical body is comparable to a low-grade third-tier magic Law Treasure, making him extremely powerful.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng's achievements were also due to the fact that the Malachite Stone Spirit gave birth to a new drop of Body Tempering Liquid, which Ye Jingcheng then ingested.

Feeling the power of his physical body, Ye Jingcheng wished he could summon a few Wood Giants from the Five-Colored Cloud Deer to fight against them.

However, he quickly forgot about this idea.

Within his body, True Essence began to gather.

It turned out that the opportunity for a breakthrough in his own cultivation had also arrived.

Ye Jingcheng naturally dared not be careless. He took out a few spirit pills and swallowed them, and then took out a Moon Spirit Clam Water Spirit Pearl from afar.

He immediately began his closed-door training to break through his limitations.

Dense Spiritual Qi converged towards Ye Jingcheng's physical body, and the Grotto-Heaven Stone Spirit began to shower down spiritual rain.

It even felt that the Spiritual Qi was insufficient, so it drew upon the spiritual spring within the Spirit Eye Spring and poured it towards Ye Jingcheng.

For a moment, Ye Jingcheng seemed like a person of five-colored light.

The intense light lasted for two days until it dissipated.

A ripple of Spiritual Qi energy spread outwards.

"Finally, I've reached the peak of the Purple Mansion!" Ye Jingcheng opened his eyes, his face full of joy.

Ninety-one years old, peak of the Purple Mansion!

He even has a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage before he turns one hundred!
