Chapter 134: The Supreme Puppet
Chapter 134: The Supreme Puppet
The medicine hall of Xuanpu Hall was divided into nine grades. What Wei Wufa had seen was only the first six levels. The remaining three supreme grades of elixirs were stored elsewhere!
Kunlun had such vast resources, and over the years, no one had dared to cause trouble right under their noses. They had grown careless and neglected their defenses. No one expected they would encounter an ancient being from over ten thousand years ago today, who indiscriminately looted all the elixirs from Xuanpu Hall!
The other two Kunlun disciples, whom the Monster Saint had turned into puppets using the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Art, took advantage of their identities and their powerful teleportation skills. One of them went back to Tianyong City and directly moved the treasures of Tianyong City into the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice!
Next to the elixirs, there was also a pile of magical artifacts that sparkled with dazzling light and shimmered with colorful radiance. They came in various forms—cauldrons, furnaces, mirrors, rulers, flying swords, chopping blades, copper rings… too many to count, totaling over a hundred!
Mu Yuan and Lin Fangjing had already grown immune to the Monster Saint’s actions, but when they saw this dazzling collection of glowing magical artifacts, they were still greatly moved!
Mu Yuan thought he had seen quite a few magical artifacts, but the sheer variety before him still left him stunned.
Among them, flying swords and sword pills made up the majority. Although most were standard treasures commonly used by the sect’s disciples for cultivation, there were also a few excellent sets that were on par with, if not better than, the Six Harmonies Sword Pills Mu Yuan possessed!
“The items are passable. I’ll distribute them to my subordinates when I go back. After all, Kunlun is indeed wealthier than sects like Clear Water Palace and Heavenly Demon Palace! But it’s a shame—I haven’t seen any top-grade magical treasures or elixirs. I wonder where those people hid them!”
Wei Wufa wandered around the alchemy hall for a while, completely looting the elixirs from dozens of rooms. Still not satisfied, he thought about searching for the top three grades of elixirs!
However, even the refining of the top three grades of elixirs was carried out by disciples in black robes. Even Wei Wufa did not know where they were stored!
Just as he was at a loss, a woman in black robes gracefully descended from the distant mountain peaks. Her black hair flowed like a waterfall, and she had delicate eyebrows and rosy cheeks, yet she carried a cold, aloof demeanor that made her seem unapproachable.
Wei Wufa felt a stir in his heart and immediately flew up to approach the woman. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, “Senior Sister…”
When the woman saw Wei Wufa dressed in white robes, she was about to speak. Suddenly, Wei Wufa flipped his hands, and black light surged as the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Art erupted!
At this moment, Wei Wufa was clearly the incarnation of the Monster Saint. Even ordinary Primordial Spirit experts were beneath his notice, let alone this small cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage!
By calling her “Senior Sister,” he had distracted her. Under the influence of the Monster Saint’s spiritual will, Wei Wufa’s cultivation was forcibly elevated to the Nascent Soul Level. With one move of the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Art, the woman was immediately enveloped by a vortex of black light. With a sudden pull, she was dragged into the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice!
The Heavenly Demon Parasitic Art was indeed the supreme profound skill of the Demonic Path. Although the Monster Saint cultivated the Great Dao of Primordial Spirit, the Demonic Path pursued the indestructible demonic body. However, different paths led to the same destination! The will of the Primordial Spirit and the flesh and blood of the demonic body followed the same principles, and the methods for controlling puppets were quite similar.
The Heavenly Demon Parasitic Art, modified by the Monster Saint, was exactly the same as when used by members of the Demonic Sect. His immense magical power could flow freely among all his puppets. One could say that as long as the puppets remained indestructible, he himself would not die.
After capturing the woman into the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice, the Monster Saint used the “Heavenly Monster Soul-Searching Great Method” to plunder her memories. Then, following the same procedure, he turned her into a puppet and gained a lot of information!
Of course, this information revealed the location of the top three grades of supreme elixirs!
Mu Yuan was already numb to it all. When the woman was released, he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, when you use your divine sense to plunder the other’s spiritual sense, are there no drawbacks?”
The Monster Saint laughed and said, “How could there be no drawbacks? Everyone’s memories are full of errors and complexities. If you absorb too many memories and your own spiritual sense cannot suppress them, your consciousness will become confused and disordered, your will will split, and you will go mad and die! But once you achieve the Primordial Spirit, your spiritual sense becomes as solid as substance, allowing you to firmly lock away and suppress the absorbed spiritual sense. As for these mere Qi Refinement Stage cultivators who have only practiced for a few decades, how many memories could they possibly have!”
He concluded by saying, “In ancient times, there was a Soul Devourer Beast. In its skull was a naturally formed Soul Pearl, which was perfect for plundering memories and siphoning spiritual sense. It was truly a natural spiritual treasure. Techniques like this Heavenly Monster Soul-Searching Method were created based on the function of the Soul Pearl. Though not as miraculous as the Soul Pearl, they could transform the plundered memories into a source of power for the pearl, creating boundless illusions!”
“However, if you could combine the Soul Pearl with the mirage pearl of the mirage beast, that would be the pinnacle—where a single thought could create or destroy, and the great universe could transform. You could kill or trap someone in an instant, and the more people you killed, the greater the power. Unfortunately, both of these are extremely rare.”
Mu Yuan remained silent. The Soul Pearl in his Mud Pill Palace continued to circulate, tightly drawing in his spiritual sense. Something that attracted the attention of both the Five Yin Patriarch and the Monster Saint made Mu Yuan increasingly aware of its preciousness!
The woman in black robes clearly had much more knowledge than Wei Wufa. After a few turns, she arrived at a nearby mountain valley shrouded in mist. The Monster Saint, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized that this mist was guarded by formations.
Right in front of the mist, the Monster Saint searched through her memories and found the method to open the formation. Before he could use it, a fluctuation emanated from within the great formation.
The woman in black robes slightly frowned. A flicker of illusory light appeared before her, and a crack opened. A man in white robes, elegant and graceful, stepped out. When he saw the woman, his face lit up with joy, and he softly called out, “Senior Sister Zhu…”
“Junior Brother Feng…” The Monster Saint’s thoughts shifted, and he recognized this person as Feng Yanqing, who had come from Kunlun Palace. This man had always held affection for the woman who was now a puppet, but unfortunately, she had never shown him any favor. It was truly a case of unrequited love!
Once the Monster Saint confirmed that this person was from Kunlun Palace, his desire to find the “Chaos Formula” immediately overshadowed his intention to loot the elixirs of Xuanpu Hall. Without hesitation, he sent a vortex formed by the Heavenly Demon Parasitic Art towards him, pulling him into the Golden Chalice!
After using the Soul-Searching Method, the Monster Saint’s expression was a mix of shock and delight!
What delighted him was that in Feng Yanqing’s memories, there was indeed a technique similar to the “Chaos Formula”—the “Five Directions Five Elements Breaking Restriction Technique”!
What shocked him was that although this person’s knowledge was incomplete, even if he were to master the technique fully, it would not reach the level of the “Chaos Formula”!
“Forget it. I won’t waste time on these small-scale actions here. I’ll go directly to Kunlun Palace, find a Nascent Soul elder, and plunder their memories. Then everything will become clear!” The Monster Saint raised his eyebrows and immediately made up his mind!
These words were muttered unconsciously by the Monster Saint in his excitement. Mu Yuan and Lin Fangjing heard them clearly and were frightened out of their wits!
Going to Kunlun Palace to find a Nascent Soul elder and plunder their memories!
This was simply lawless! If they were discovered, who knew how many Nascent Soul elders in the vast Kunlun would come swarming at once. No matter how powerful the Monster Saint’s demonic strength was, he probably couldn’t withstand it!
“Should senior reconsider this?” Mu Yuan cautiously stepped forward and asked, afraid that the Monster Saint might act impulsively and do something irrational!
The Monster Saint shook his head. Suddenly, a calm and unhurried voice came from the void outside, “Which fellow cultivator has come to Kunlun without announcing themselves? Isn’t that a bit too rude?”
The Monster Saint raised his eyebrows and stepped out of the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice. Ripples appeared in the surrounding void, revealing four elderly Daoists with snow-white hair. They were dressed identically, all in purple Daoist robes, with jade hairpins in their hair, long belts around their waists, and all had kindly faces.
One had a ruddy complexion like a baby’s, with snow-white eyebrows and beard. Another had a thin, gaunt face. The third had dark skin, and the last had a red face.
“Incredible! Four Nascent Souls! Just Xuanpu Hall alone has four at the Nascent Soul Level. Who knows how many there are in the vast Kunlun!”
The Monster Saint was completely unfazed. He smiled and said, “How should I address the four of you?”
The red-faced elder spoke with a voice as loud as thunder, “I am Qianguang. These are my junior brothers—Qianling, Qiantai, and Qianfu. Since you have come to Kunlun to cause trouble, we have no choice but to make things difficult for you!”
Mu Yuan, inside the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice, saw everything clearly. The one who looked like a baby was Qianling, the one with the gaunt face was Qianfu, and the one with dark skin was Qiantai. The four of them sealed off all directions, their auras merging into one, subtly trapping the Monster Saint in the center!
“I only used a little bit of magic, and you four noticed me immediately. The great Kunlun sect truly lives up to its reputation!”
The Monster Saint noticed that the four elders’ auras were pure and subtly harmonized with nature. He knew their cultivation and magical power were not low, but he was not afraid. Even though he was alone, he simply held the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in his hand, emitting swirling golden light!
Qianling stared at the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in the Monster Saint’s hand and said word by word, “A Grotto-heaven Treasure is indeed rare, but when used, it always leaves traces! The four of us cultivate the Natural True Embryo Great Method. Any movement that doesn’t harmonize with our surroundings cannot escape our notice. Since you have harmed our disciples, you must stay here today and give us an explanation!”
As he spoke, the four of them acted simultaneously. Vast and mighty Zhenqi, with clear light crisscrossing, surrounded the Monster Saint from all sides. As the Zhenqi rubbed against each other, it generated massive flames. The roaring fire surged inward, converging toward the center!
The Monster Saint chuckled and said, “How dare I underestimate Kunlun? I wouldn’t have come here without preparation!” Golden light burst from the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice, and three figures gracefully emerged!
One was a woman, surrounded by flowing clear light, with long sleeves and light gauze. With a wave of her sleeves, she created a sky full of water.
Another was a burly man, his muscles bulging with explosive power. With a furious roar, he punched through the air. The force of his punch exploded, sending black energy rolling out in all directions. It collided with the oncoming flames, creating a barrage of explosions that echoed endlessly!
The third was a gaunt man in a dark green robe, emitting a ghostly aura. His cheeks were sunken, his forehead protruded, and even his long hair shimmered with a faint green light. With a casual point of his finger, a burst of emerald-green flame shot out, swelling in mid-air and transforming into countless fiery snakes that darted around like lightning!
After releasing these three, the Monster Saint let out a hearty laugh. Black light surged around his body, transforming into a huge serpent-dragon that soared through the air, dancing furiously!
