Volume 4: Great Puppetry Chapter 16: Great Puppetry (Second Update Seeking Votes)
The two of them walked along one of the roads towards the inside, and there were also other people walking on this road. However, the forks in the road inside became more and more numerous.
"We're almost there. But there are still two people following us behind, should we take a few detours to shake them off?" Jiang He said.
"Never mind, I'll take care of it."
Kougen suddenly turned back and returned the way he came. Immediately after, there were fluctuations in the law, as well as cries of surprise that came through, and a moment later, Kougen returned once again.
"There is one behind who is a foundation-building period cultivator," said Jiang He.
"Yes."
Although it was just a brief answer, Jiang He already understood Gao Yuan's current strength.
"We're here."
At the end of the passage, there is a smooth stone wall that emits a hazy blue light, illuminating the surroundings very clearly. On top of the stone wall, there is an embedded groove.
"Just embed the treasure map inside," said Gao Yuan. Jiang He was a bit skeptical, but he followed his words and put the treasure map on it, standing aside.
The plateau suddenly tore open its chest, and a stream of blood shot out, splashing onto the stone wall. The smooth stone wall suddenly emitted a rumbling sound, and large characters began to appear on the stone wall. These large characters seemed to be made of pure gold, emitting a bright golden light that extended far into the distance through this passageway.
"Not good!"
The two were shocked in their hearts and knew that someone would soon be attracted by this golden light. They hastily looked at the words on the stone wall.
"The Great Puppetry! This is the Father Volume of the Great Puppetry, cultivating the Father Volume will make all cultivators of the Child Volumes become puppets! The cultivation method of the Great Puppetry..."
Jiang He hastily memorized the technique, cultivated it, and then slowly pondered. At this time, the written characters on the stone wall began to fade away slowly, disappearing one by one, and a new text emerged from the stone wall, also radiating golden light.
Is this the Taikoubou volume? Jiang thought to himself.
"He continued to look at the words on the stone wall: 'The Small Puppet Technique, converts spiritual power into physical strength, increases lifespan... (omitted cultivation content)'"
Jiang He hastily recorded the contents, just as a loud rumbling sound was heard, and a powerful pressure descended upon the stone wall. A white-haired, white-browed, dark blue-robed cultivator appeared floating in mid-air.
"Hahaha, you two little brats are indeed here, die now!" The newcomer let out a loud laugh after seeing Qing Jiang and Gao Yuan, then suddenly attacked. Two powerful blasts of magic struck the two, slamming them into the stone wall.
The stone wall shone with a flash of golden light, and it actually absorbed all the magical powers. The injuries that both of them had suffered immediately decreased to the minimum, and each of them spat out a mouthful of blood. Gaoyuan suddenly said: "It's you, weren't you blasted by my second uncle and suffered serious damage?"
"Haha, I was originally severely injured, but after absorbing the essence of a Guardian's descendant, all my injuries were healed and even the loss of lifespan was restored. You should also have the bloodline of the Guardians in you, so if I suck your essence dry today, who knows, maybe my realm will be elevated too."
"Third Uncle!" Gao Yuan called out in a low voice, his apathetic face finally showing some movement.
"Not bad, it's your third uncle, but next one will be you!"
Guo Wuxie burst out laughing, and with a wave of his hand, Gaoyuan's body crashed into the stone wall once again. At this moment, the golden light on the stone wall flickered erratically, as if the words on it were about to disappear.
"Huh, the Small Puppet Technique can actually increase one's lifespan." Guo Wuxie saw the words on the stone wall at a glance, and couldn't help but ignore the highland. A jade slip flew out of his storage bag, and a divine thought passed through the jade slip, connecting to the stone wall.
"Ah! What kind of stone wall is this that can absorb divine thoughts?" Guo Wuxie was shocked again, and found that the words on the stone wall became even more blurred.
Never dare to be distracted again, and start memorizing seriously.
Jiang He tightly grasped the Golden Stone Token in his hand, ready to make a move at any moment. Thinking of the words he had just seen on the stone wall, Jiang He's heart stirred, but he didn't utter a sound, instead beginning to cultivate the Great Puppet Technique.
Gao Yuan fell to the ground, seemingly unable to get up. A mouthful of blood spurted onto the corner of the wall, and this mouthful of blood slowly formed into a thread-like shape, which actually seeped into the stone wall of the passageway.
Guo Wuxie remembered the kung fu on the stone wall, whether this kung fu was really useful as said, with his Jindan period cultivation and vision, he would know the truth after trying it out.
According to the records of the stone wall's minor puppet technique, Guo Wuxie's magical powers turned once, and the strength of his physical body actually increased significantly.
"This is actually true......" Guo Wuyue's heart was trembling with excitement, it was really hard to imagine that there was such a heaven-defying cultivation method in this world. The power of the law transformed the flesh, increasing lifespan, didn't that imply that there would be more lifespan to cultivate, cultivating until the Yuan Ying period, it was just a matter of time.
"With such a powerful technique, I must monopolize it. These two kids have also seen this stone wall. If they are taken to the Worry-Free Temple, they will definitely be searched soul-to-soul. It's better to settle them on the spot. In the future when I cultivate to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, Lu Wu You won't be able to do anything to me."
Guo Wu's mind turned and his murderous intent rose, previously he had not intended to kill Jiang He and the others, so they were able to survive his attack with non-life-threatening injuries.
Just as Guo Wuxie had the intention to kill, Jiang He's operating puppet technique suddenly moved, and Guo Wuxie's thoughts were transmitted into Jiang He's consciousness.
"Impossible!" Jiang He's consciousness stirred, and his thoughts were unexpectedly transmitted through the Great Puppet Technique. Immediately after, he felt Guo Wuxie's mind change once again.
"This little guy must have the blood of a guardian, he's definitely going to be killed. After killing him and absorbing the essence of the guardian, my realm will definitely rise again, reaching the middle stage of the Golden Elixir. I won't need to listen to Lu Wu You anymore. As for this one, let's not kill him for now."
Guo Wuxie's thoughts changed, and they were clearly transmitted to Jiang He's consciousness. Jiang He suddenly understood how the Great Puppet Technique and the Small Puppet Technique worked together.
The grandeur of the Great Puppet Technique, suddenly became clear! At this moment, Jiang He suddenly felt that a tentacle had emerged from his consciousness, which directly connected to the sea of consciousness of Guo Wuxie.
There, it is a boundless and endless sea of consciousness! At the initial stage of Guo Wuxie's Golden Elixir, his consciousness had already formed a divine thought, which could turn the virtual into reality. Jiang He's was just consciousness, without even transforming into divine thought. When these two connected, Jiang He felt that his own consciousness was under immense pressure from all sides, as if his original consciousness filled a large room but was suddenly compressed into a small box.
That suffocating feeling, that bursting feeling, is just like one's fist clenching with all its might. At first, it still feels like gathering strength to the maximum, but the fist has to be clenched to death, this uncontrollable power condenses, and it's extremely unbearable!
"Boom!" A loud noise came from the depths of Jiang He's consciousness, and in that instant, it seemed like a long, long time had passed. Jiang He only felt his consciousness relax and clear up. All the oppressive feelings disappeared instantly, and his consciousness sea seemed to have become extremely vast, his consciousness could swim freely within it. It was even possible to run outside of the consciousness sea!
When he tried to run his consciousness out of the sea of consciousness, he suddenly found that the outside world had changed completely. It was no longer just what his eyes could see. Beyond what his eyes could see, there were even more wonderful scenes, all sorts of lights and lines, too wonderful for words.
Is this divine thought?
It wasn't until the foundation-building period that one could have a divine thought. The biggest bottleneck of the foundation-building period was broken through in the refining-gas period - divine thought. Jiang He actually evolved divine thought from his consciousness at the 12th level of the refining-gas period, and it's hard not to say that the Great Puppet Technique is indeed mysterious!
