Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 54: Years of Cultivation
Unlike the puppets of Gang Tianzhu's family, the puppets of Mi Tianzhu are not driven by mechanical energy. The core power of the puppets comes from evil.
But there is no such thing as a lifespan for the evil ones.
"Steel Sky Pillar, Secret Sky Pillar, their own combat power is unclear, but the creations made by them alone have extremely mysterious and great power."
He recalled the information from the Secret Pillar.
The Secret Pillar, probably female, is ranked sixth among the pillars guarding the country of Kandra. Her honorific title is "Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hands", and she is said to be a puppet master.
There is no more information.
He looked at the secret doll in front of him.
The doll was covered in dust and its clothes were a little worn, and one could only vaguely tell that it was a maid outfit of the Kandra Empire.
But as he dug out this secret doll and brought it back to the light of day, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in the doll's dim eyes.
"Ding~"
"The test found that the current target is a human, and the first level of judgment passed."
“Ding Di~”
"Inspection found..., passed the second level of judgment, certification passed."
"Welcome to the Secret Pillar's Doll No. 0, I'm Xiao Ling."
A mechanical voice came from the puppet's mouth which was not open.
The light in its eyes became brighter and more vivid, and suddenly it stood up.
The dust on his body quickly fell off, and in the blink of an eye he became spotless.
Its tattered clothes began to be repaired, its dry hair became soft and smooth, and its doll-like face gradually became real. After a while, it was indistinguishable from a real person.
"Xiao Ling is at your service. Please do the basic setup."
Fang You fiddled with it for a while before he began to understand what was going on.
The puppet of the Secret Pillar had been sealed for many years, and probably because all the people of the Kandra Empire had died out, he gained the right to use this secret puppet by a series of coincidences.
However, this Unit 0 doll has been formatted, and its personality, clothing, appearance, contained data, etc. have all been reset. On the day of restart, Fang You needs to set it up.
Only after the basic settings are completed can the puppet actually run.
The basic settings include clothing style, appearance, height, body shape, voice type, and behavioral logic.
The clothes include maid outfit, cheongsam outfit, Gothic outfit...customization and so on.
The voices include mature woman voice, loli voice, aunt voice...custom voice and so on.
"..." Fang You.
Something seems wrong.
His focus is not on this, but the basic settings must be perfected before the secret doll can be truly unlocked.
After a while,
Teacher Fang wiped his sweat and said, "Finally, I've finished it."
He could begin to conduct more in-depth research on the secret doll and found that the doll also had considerable damage. However, under the creation of the Secret Pillar, this doll was like a real living being, with the ability to absorb knowledge autonomously, self-heal, and so on.
If it had not been formatted before and restarted just now, the secret doll should have healed itself after tens of thousands of years.
"Tell me about your fighting abilities."
"Yes, boss. Xiao Ling has installed an auxiliary combat system in his body. This system has..."
It said a lot of things.
Fortunately, Teacher Fang is now a highly educated person, otherwise I’m afraid he wouldn’t understand.
He only understands half of it now.
The puppet of Mi Tianzhu's family would utter a few obscure words from time to time, which was too difficult for Fang, who had only lived in Candela for three years.
"The body of the secret puppet itself has the combat power of the peak of mythology. However, the purpose of the body's existence is not to fight, but to seal. One or more powerful evil spirits are sealed in the puppet's body, and it is driven by their energy, and then bursts out with powerful power."
This is completely different from the puppet system, or it can be called the "jinchūriki" system.
Uh... Puppet Chūriki.
Fang You couldn't help but marvel at Mi Tianzhu's ingenious ideas and exquisite craftsmanship.
"Unfortunately, there is no technical information related to the puppet-making here, not even a single bit. Perhaps, unlike puppet-making, this is not a technology that can be popularized, but a difficult inheritance that is difficult to learn and master, and requires certain abilities to be combined."
Under the instructions of Boss Fang, the secret puppet Xiao Ling began his performance.
Wisps of ominous black mist emanated from its body and condensed into ferocious tails, each of which was hundreds of meters long.
Xiao Ling controlled the evil tail to bombard the earth, setting off wave after wave of horrific frenzy.
"This combat power is probably in the upper middle level of a demigod, about 0.7 Liufeng, which is not bad."
And this is not the full power of the secret doll.
[To unleash the full power of the Secret Pillar Doll, one must possess the Secret Pillar's exclusive secret method, or manipulate the power of evil.]
This is understandable.
If the evil power in the puppet's body is fully triggered without a special method of manipulation, it is very likely to cause the puppet's jūriki to lose control and run wild.
External force is needed to assist it.
And external forces...
He didn't have any special secrets, but he could control the evil power...
If Sister An has it, it is equivalent to the other mentor having it.
Fang You borrowed the power of the Netherworld Master and, relying on his control over Puppet Zero, he quickly found a secret access entrance.
He made a mental connection.
bite--
His vision instantly synchronized with the puppet, and he drew out all the power in the puppet's body with his thoughts.
It was like a volcanic eruption, no... it was like the energy generated when the world was destroyed. The extremely violent power continued to surge out, accompanied by chilling madness and filth.
However, the Netherworld Master itself has the effect of curbing the influence of evil, so even if Fang You's spirit is connected to the secret doll, it is not affected much.
The mysterious doll hangs high in the air.
Endless energy surged out and intertwined outside its body surface, forming a tall and terrifying giant shadow.
It's Guixie! It's a collection of several terrifying Guixie.
As this giant shadow appeared, Fang You's perspective also rose, overlooking everything, as if he had omnipotent power.
This is……
"High perspective!"
There is no doubt that the fully liberated secret puppet has the combat power of the ninth realm! And it is not difficult for him to control it, and the duration is also quite long.
The organization has gained another normal ninth-level combat force!
Xinhuo organization, number of high-level combat forces in the ninth realm: 2!
Even though none of them are alive.
…
He still didn't let Qianhong fight with the secret doll.
The secret doll is still in a damaged state and needs to be repaired carefully. Otherwise, if the seal collapses due to some minor problem, it will be a huge loss.
Fang You went back home.
It is not difficult to repair the secret doll. Just feed it materials. In this respect, it is somewhat similar to the light red .
However, as a weapon that kills gods, Qianhong has a very high upper limit and can even hurt evil gods. And the secret doll Xiaoling is just an ordinary Nine Realms doll and a maid of the Secret Pillar.
...No way!
At the moment, the importance of the secret doll is not much less than that of Light Red.
The pillar of the Kandra Empire is really rich.
The two damaged universal puppets were immediately sent to Master Wang Chui's workshop for repair.
In terms of value, this universal puppet is not much less valuable than the secret doll.
They are all-round forging puppets. Not only do they do auxiliary work, they themselves have the ability to lead the forging of strange weapons and the manufacture of large equipment.
The Universal Puppet can even create legendary weapons on its own, which is equivalent to two blacksmithing masters who cannot make further progress but have already achieved very advanced skills.
They also mastered many of the special forging techniques of the Kandra Empire.
With the assistance of two universal puppets, the team led by Master Wang Chui has been able to create the Shining Blade puppet. However, Master Fang does not think much of this kind of mythical puppet - his own organization has more than a hundred mythicals - what he values is that his own organization can independently create legendary vehicles such as the White Shark-class airship.
The scientific and technological strength of the Xinhuo organization has taken a big step forward.
…
As time goes by, the two high-level combat forces of Xinhuo are being steadily repaired.
During this period, nothing major happened in the ghost world, but the disasters caused by evil gods became more and more normalized.
The East Weird Realm, the North Weird Realm, and the West Weird Realm have all fought against the evil god's servants.
However, the more intense confrontation was between the various evil god camps. He learned from Qianmian that, except for the indescribable evil god, which did not have a direct power clash, the battles between the evil god servants and servants had become increasingly fierce.
The battle between the Blood Moon Camp and the Midnight Camp was even more intense than before.
The evil god's servants were beaten to shit.
There are far more than one high-ranking person who have fallen.
During this period, Thousand Faces followed the Bloody Emperor and achieved very impressive results - they disrupted the plans of multiple evil god camps, forced the evil gods to interrupt their indescribable power absorption, and delayed their awakening time.
This is a huge victory for the Blood Moon camp.
Among them, Qianmian provided many clues and destroyed several nodes, making an excellent contribution.
Qianmian got promoted again.
For the human world, this is a double victory - not only does it delay the awakening of the evil god, but it also prevents many disasters.
In the eyes of human forces, the fierce fighting among the evil god's servants gave them more living space in the cracks.
But even so, the major human overlords also saw the signs of the evil god's awakening, gradually believed it, and became more and more urgent.
Among these, the secret news spread by Xinhuo Academy through the mouths of the seven major countries played a significant role in promoting this, but it was by no means the only role.
The human overlords were not completely unaware of the signs of the evil god's awakening.
The four overlords including Guyue Dynasty are already investigating.
The Seven Kingdoms, the Western Weird World Overlord, and the Northern Weird World Overlord had also vaguely discovered some clues earlier. However, they were either unwilling to believe or did not have a very intuitive understanding of the disaster.
Now most of them believe it.
No matter how much they believed it, all the major overlords entered a state of preparation for war.
Like the seven major countries, they began to cultivate myths with all their strength, trying every means to promote one or two demigods .
This is not an extravagant wish.
More than half of the seven great nations only have one demigod in charge, but that doesn't mean they can't train a second one. It's just that most of the time, the seven great nations won't spend too much resources to train a second or third demigod.
Having a demigod in charge can ensure the continuation of the country.
The geniuses ranked second and third in the sequence can only enjoy training conditions that are two or three levels lower.
The remaining resources can be used in the dark times when the country is in decline and there are not many geniuses, to try one's best to build a demigod.
And now, the seven major countries have begun to increase their investment in excellent myths at all costs.
This is what the seven major powers said to the outside world.
"They may not be willing to sacrifice everything, and may still be preparing for both scenarios. But at least, the seven major countries have already gathered their firepower and are fully prepared for war."
"Moreover, the seven great nations also produced more top talents than ever before during this period. This may be due to the help of the world."
Weird world, with the word "weird" coming first.
But this world was not originally like this, and it is not completely dominated by evil gods and evil forces. The Oasis is the last force of resistance.
Fang You had some guesses.
On the other hand, under pressure, the major human overlords began to cooperate and communicate more closely. Xinhuo Academy, as a "new overlord", emerged in this human alliance meeting.
It is worth mentioning that the Central Holy Court of the People's Union Conference did not participate.
The seven major countries also have opinions about the Holy See.
——They are indeed vassal states of the Holy See, but they are not little brothers who can only wave flags and shout slogans. The seven major countries themselves also possess powerful military forces.
During this period, Xinhuo Academy collected a large number of resources along the way, and finally landed near the overlord domain of the Western Guijie Realm, starting a new round of enrollment.
Fang You didn't pay much attention.
The organization has sufficient manpower to ensure the smooth operation of all departments.
His task is to develop more trump cards and practice to enhance his own strength.
Teacher Fang has been comprehending the Law Monument.
It is worth mentioning that he drew cards hundreds of times during this period, and finally obtained two world stones and two new square tablets.
[Monument of Law: Power]
[Law Monument: Earth]
After Fang You entered the Nirvana Holy Fire, he mainly comprehended the two square tablets of "sword" and "wood".
The Wanhua Sword Art, which focuses on attacking, and the Tree of Life, which focuses on controlling, are his two main skills now. However, these two legendary skills are not so compatible, which makes him a little distressed.
And with the increase of introductory legendary skills, Teacher Fang seemed to lack energy when using training cards, and felt his body was hollowed out.
However, practicing legendary skills, even non-basic ones, brings him enormous "passive" improvements.
Sword skills into the Tao.
The power of Nirvana continues to accumulate.
The affinity with wood element increases rapidly.
After the Secret Realm of Time was "refreshed", Teacher Fang was the first to step into it, competing with Brother Black Knife in internal competition, and discussing food with An Jianyou... Ah, the way of cultivation.
His mythological realm steadily improved until, through his hard work, he condensed the sixth ray of divinity and reached the realm of mythological perfection.
Once Instructor Fang was ready, he began the promotion.
The process went smoother than he had imagined, as if it was not his first time to be promoted to demigod.
"Is this a demigod?"
"It seems so, that's it."
He didn't have much excitement.
After all, he had long experienced the power of a high position. There was a world of difference between a high position and a demigod.
With his newly promoted demigod power, it is definitely not enough to challenge the higher-ups, and he can't even last a single round against Lord Yujin.
However, advancing to demigod and building a demigod body also means that he can withstand more pressure.
Able to call upon more world power.
"I've become stronger, but I'm still just as weak."
"Well, I hope this method will not be used. The world power of Blue Star cannot withstand too many extractions."
Another change after being promoted to a demigod is that he has a more thorough control over his destiny points and destiny power.
He had once been able to fine-tune Guidance·Awakening, plucking the strings of fate in the process, but now he could clearly see the power of fate.
Like a thread, like a river, like the world, lingering around him.
But most of the time, you can only look but not touch.
He vaguely understood the operating mechanism of each module of the panel, the core of which was destiny.
Everything is a choice of fate.
Suddenly he frowned and found that the river of destiny was swaying slightly.
"Is this destiny calling?"
Following the trajectory of destiny, his gaze continued to track, and finally fell on the apostle interface, the list of secondary apostles, and the person ranked first.
——Chi Yan!
Her head was still covered in dust as before, but there was a faint glow on it, a sign of life.
And at this moment, the glimmer of life seemed to be brighter.
Is it an illusion?
No, not at all!
〔bite!〕
[Hint: Do you want to consume 1 million destiny points to gain enlightenment on the current situation?]
The tributary of fate began to experience slight ripples.
