Chapter 414: Chapter 140: Repairing the Dao Body Puppet, Third-Order Array Master (10k Monthly Tickets Required)_4
Or perhaps, it’s a matter of fate.
It’s a pity, though. The legend continues to circulate, but no one has been able to witness the real thing.
At this very moment.
Above a massive river, the torrents of water surge eastward. The thunderous sound caused by the turbulence makes the boats on the river wobble, rising and falling.
The high-grade, second-Order formation is activated, and the supreme Magic Artifact transformed into a boat sails along the river at extreme speed, entering the rumored Sangmu Prefecture.
According to the information gathered by the Puppet, going east along this ‘Black Jiao River’ will lead to the center of Sangmu Prefecture, the Sangmu Immortal City located on the edge of the Fuling Ocean. All he needs to do is follow the current.
Inside the large boat, the Puppet sits cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest.
Along the way, he has passed through more than a hundred immortal cities. Even in the vicinity, he has discovered the existence of the Heavenly Book Pavilion. The Heavenly Book Pavilion is indeed extraordinary and not only exists near the Great Moon Prefecture.
However, after a long search, he still hasn’t found any trace of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill.
But he is not in a hurry.
Haste makes no difference. If he reaches the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm and still hasn’t found the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, he will first integrate other techniques related to the Wooden Spiritual Root into his Five Elements Method, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
When he finds the continuation of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill in the future, he can just integrate it into the Five Elements Method.
No need to rush.
A moment later.
The Puppet opened his eyes and gazed at a certain area beneath the great river. He sensed the presence of a second-Order high-grade demonic beast. Another demon of the same grade had set their sight on him.
“Buzz!”
Almost half an hour later, the river demon that had been following the big boat finally couldn’t resist making a move.
It burst from the bottom of the river, bringing a majestic demon power that wanted to overturn the river water, capsize the big boat, and pull it under. If they fell into the water, it would be within its territory.
However, just as it surfaced and began to control the river water with its demonic power, the water around it suddenly changed.
In no more than a moment.
The body of this second-grade high-grade river demon began to disintegrate, starting from its scales. It was as if it had been corroded. First, the scales disappeared, then the flesh, and internal organs… By the time it burst the surface of the river, only a skeleton was left.
The breath of life dissipated.
The skeleton bobbed in the river currents, made a few bubbling sounds, then sank into the river and disappeared.
Inside the boat, the Puppet retracted his gaze. Displaying the power of the Sun True Teachings from Heaven in the water turned out to be quite fearsome.
In an instant, a second-grade high-quality demon beast became a skeleton.
The beast didn’t even know what kind of danger it was facing and died in confusion.
He’d previously passed a massive lake.
In it, he ran into a third-grade lower-grade lake monster, a fish demon of strange appearance. Even that third-grade lower-grade fish beast wasn’t much better off than this second-grade high-grade river monster.
In the blink of an eye, it was reduced to a worthless husk.
After two more days drifting on the Black Jiao River, dealing with six river monsters along the way, the outline of an immortal city finally appeared ahead.
The Puppet steered the Magic Artifact boat closer. As he approached the Immortal City, he leaped from the boat and cast a spell to put the boat away, landing on the dock.
There were still quite a few people here, both cultivators and ordinary people.
A large number of cargo ships were waiting to dock by the river.
That’s why the Puppet put away his ship from a distance.
“Hurry, hurry! Move these Spirit Rice onto the fleet!”
“The Senior Administrator will set sail in half a month, we cannot afford any delays!”
A late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator brandishing a whiplike Magic Artifact was berating some dock workers from not too far away.
The next moment, his face changed drastically. He stood rigid and slowly turned his head.
The Puppet approached him, his calm gaze meeting the man’s. He asked, “Young fellow practitioner, may I ask where this place is?”
The late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator jumped in fright, quickly turned around, bowed, and said respectfully, “Greetings, senior.”
“This is Gong Yue Immortal City.”
Gong Yue Immortal City!
The Puppet had heard of this name. It’s the first major immortal city one encounters after entering Sangmu Prefecture via the Black Jiao River. Then, after passing through three more immortal cities, around a month’s journey, one would arrive at the Sangmu Immortal City.
“Carry on.”
After leaving this sentence, the Puppet disappeared in an instant.
The late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator’s eyes changed, and he was filled with awe.
“What level of skill does this senior possess? I couldn’t sense his existence at all. I don’t even know how he disappeared.” He was filled with fear.
Elsewhere.
Within a moment’s time.
Su Yu’s figure appeared in front of the immortal city. He looked up at the city walls and the stele at the gate, which read only two words: Gong Yue.
An aura of a third-grade high-grade Formation emitted from the stone tablet, enveloping the city’s entrance and exit.
As the Puppet followed the crowd and paid ten lower-grade Spirit Stones for his entrance fee, he received an entrance token and entered the city.
Inside the city gate, there were wide streets with numerous businesses on either side. The streets were crowded with people, many of them cultivators. The layout was different from Bai Yue Immortal City.
Upon entering Bai Yue Immortal City, one is greeted by vast Spirit Fields.
One has to walk a long distance through these Spirit Fields before reaching the real city area.
