"Eh? "No, even though my dantian is filled with zhenqi, why did it stir my soul?"
"My soul is overflowing and I'm ready to make a move. What does that mean?"
After obtaining the Qi Cultivating Stage secret manual, Duan Meng was very diligent. He wanted to see if he could break through and reach Qi Disciple level 4.
After seven days and nights of cultivation, Duan Meng was already very familiar with the Qi Cultivation Method. His cultivation had increased, but there was still something unusual about it.
"There must be a problem, there must be a problem with this secret scripture."
Duan Meng read the manual repeatedly while holding the paper in his hand. Suddenly, he felt something different in his hand, as if there was a layer of thickness to it. Duan Meng rubbed his hands together and immediately understood what was going on.
The book was divided into two sections. Duan Ling Tian was slightly excited and even though he wanted to cut open the layer with his saber, he was unable to do so no matter how hard he tried.
"To think that the book would be so hard. What kind of material is the book made from?"
Duan Meng was helpless. Every time he tested the page, he found more than ten lines of small words on the last page of the book. If he wasn't careful, he wouldn't have been able to see them, and the color was very faint. Upon closer reading, it was actually a restriction technique, like a small enchantment.
It was this small formation that prevented others from opening the formation.
"The problem lies in this restriction." However, Duan Meng knew nothing about formations and barriers, so he didn't know anything about it. "What should I do?"
After going over and over the entire short spell formation, he suddenly felt his soul exude and fill the pages of the book. Slowly, the layer of the book began to open.
"Truly ingenious. It's actually a spirit formation array." Duan Meng was even more excited. He looked at the second to last page of the book and saw a dozen or so lines of small characters. It was another type of restriction technique. Duan Meng imitated the contents of the book and opened the second page from the bottom. Then, a restriction technique appeared on the third page from the bottom.
It was not until Duan Ru Yue had broken all of the restrictive spells, that all of the layers were opened, and Duan Ru Yue seemed to have obtained a treasure.
Within the mezzanine was actually a higher level soul slave technique. However, it was not for enslaving living people, but for enslaving the dead. This was also the legendary puppet technique of Jianghu.
This was a precious treasure. As long as one could learn puppet techniques, they would be able to create an endless number of deathsworn. The power of a puppet would depend on the person controlling it, and it would be slightly better. In other words, if Duan Meng's cultivation was only at Qi Disciple level 4, then his puppet technique would at least be at the fifth and sixth levels.
"This is great, if I can create a few puppets to stay by my side, then my insurance will increase by several times. This puppet doesn't eat nor drink, as long as I use true energy, I can continue the battle forever. This is a treasure!" After studying for a few days, Duan Ru Yue finally finished studying the puppet technique, but the problem was here.
He couldn't use a living person to experiment on a puppet's corpse, no matter where he went. This wasn't the intention of an encounter.
This is cruel, absolutely not. If you were to test the enemy's body, who would you find?
Coupled with the power of the person in charge of it, it was a battle machine. A puppet has no soul, no sense of being in charge, and being in command of the person in charge of it, not afraid of death, is the best choice for being a guard.
"Young Master, the Sect Leader of the Martial Ancestor Realm, Wu Tong, requests an audience."
When Wu Tong entered, he first gave Duan Jidao a great bow. "Reporting to Young Master, I have a secret matter to report."
After Duan Jidao finished reporting, he smiled widely and said, "That's great, I'll get it without any trouble."
Wu Tong was puzzled, "Young Master, this time, the Earth Sect's people are not low in rank. They are all beyond the Heaven rank. Should we send the Shadow Legion to capture them?"
"No need, the three of us will do."
Upon hearing that his young master's skill had reached the Qi Cultivating Stage, Bu Boyuan was extremely envious of him. Right now, if he were to see his young master at the Thunder Level, it would be a good opportunity for him to observe and learn.
The three of them quietly arrived at the inn at the foot of the mountain.
"Brother Bu, Brother Wu, it shouldn't be a problem for you to deal with one of them, right?"
Wu Tong and Bu Baoyuan looked at each other and smiled, "No problem. If we can't even deal with one of them, that would be too embarrassing. However, those two are unfathomable. Young Master should be careful as well."
Duan Ling Tian smiled. "It's slightly difficult, but there's no problem. I'll kill the one with the lowest cultivation first. The one with the highest cultivation will be easier to deal with."
"1, 2, 3 charge." The three of them rushed in like ghosts and demons. Before the three of them could understand what was going on, Duan Ren and the other two attacked.
Bu Baoyuan and Wu Tong attacked from both sides, charging at the weakest person, who was only a bit over the level of Heaven Stage. He immediately died, and the other one also died under the sneak attack. The person with the highest skill had the fastest reaction and immediately jumped out of the window, attempting to escape.
The three of them stood in front of the man and looked at him with a smile.
"Your Martial Ancestor Sect is truly shameless. Three people beat me up. If you have the ability, fight me alone!"
Duan Ling Tian smiled as he followed Wu Tong and Bu Baoyuan. "My two brothers, watch him. Let me see how strong he is."
When that person saw that his provocation had worked, he was secretly delighted. After all, he was a level 5 Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, and he was the one who hid his abilities and came to the Martial Ancestor Realm to destroy them. Who would have thought that Wu Zong would actually invite helpers to kill him?
"The man made a hand seal, causing Duan to be greatly alarmed." "This person's power is above mine!" Not only was he shocked, but he also had Duan Jidao. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
Duan Meng also formed a hand sign and that person laughed: "This person looks unfamiliar. Who are you? You are not my opponent. It's better not to fight. You are at least two levels lower than me."
"You'll know once you try. What's the use of saying it?"
Duan Meng secretly summoned Duan Pu: "Lend me your power for the time being." Duan Pu then attached his zhenqi onto Duan Ru's body.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out as the two's true energy met. Duan Meng remained motionless as the person was knocked down to the ground. He looked at Duan Meng in shock: "You are clearly at the 3rd level of Qi Cultivating Stage, why is your power stronger than mine?"
Duan Ling Tian smiled. "I'll tell you when you're dead?"
"You can't kill me. I'm an Earth Sect deacon. If the Earth Sect knew about this, they would definitely save me. Your Martial Sect is finished." Duan Ru smiled. "The Earth Sect won't know because you're dead."
Duan Ling Tian made a strange hand seal and a strong soul force surged out. It was like a balloon being pierced by a needle in a gentle breeze. "Pop!" That person's soul was destroyed by Duan Meng's strong soul and lost consciousness.
"Young master, your attack just now contained the power of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Congratulations to young master on breaking through to the Qi Refining stage."
Duan Ru smiled. "Brother Bu, I'm still at Qi Disciple level 3 and haven't broken through."
"Then the power just now was at the Foundation Establishment stage!"
"This is my secret. Don't tell anyone. Bring these three corpses back. I will give you a surprise." Wu Tong quickly sent people to bring the three corpses back to Wu Zong. Duan came across a secret room and stayed there for an entire night before coming out. Behind him were three people.
Wu Tong and Bu Baoyuan were shocked, "The three of them died and came back to life?"
