Chapter 556: 171 Shocking, Dramatic Turnaround_2
Now my puppet body is almost exhausted of soul power, and it will take some time to recover.
Reflecting on the battle with the Alliance Hierarch of Taixu, the puppet body’s eyes sparkle, having gained quite a bit.
A True Monarch in the second level of the Nascent Soul Realm is utterly profound, and it’s not something a Core Formation stage can compare to.
This battle alone caused Su Yu to take a significant leap in his understanding of water-based techniques.
Sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave dwelling, the puppet body pulled out the Alliance Hierarch Taixu’s Nascent Soul that had been sealed before.
The Nascent Soul of the Alliance Hierarch Taixu just appeared, pleading in horror: “Taoist friend spare me, Taoist friend spare me, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life, I just beg for a chance to live!”
By now, the Alliance Hierarch Taixu is no longer stubborn.
He has learned to beg for mercy.
It’s a pity, though, as the puppet body didn’t even glance at him. Employing the Gold Cicada secret technique, it covered Taixu’s Nascent Soul with one hand.
The Gold Cicada Secret Technique!
Soul Search!
The Alliance Hierarch Taixu immediately screamed in pain: “Ahhhhhhhh!”
Finding him too noisy, the puppet body silenced him. The next moment, the screaming of the Alliance Hierarch Taixu abruptly stopped, replaced by an overwhelming influx of memories into the puppet body’s mind.
The puppet body removed the chaotic memories, even its understanding of water-based techniques was erased.
Because that was Taixu’s path, not his Grand Dao of Water.
He can comprehend the Alliance Hierarch Taixu’s techniques and cultivate his own path from that.
But he can’t follow Taixu’s path.
So, the insights of the Grand Dao of Water in Taixu’s memories to Su Yu are just ‘impurities’, which must not affect him.
The puppet body only searched Taixu’s Nascent Soul for his Escape Technique of Space and other inherited techniques, such as the secret technique of soul power.
There were also various treasures related to the Taixu Alliance.
After a long while.
Under the puppet body’s soul search, Taixu’s Nascent Soul completely collapsed. His life force dissipated, and his soul scattered.
“Huh.”
The puppet body exhaled and opened its eyes twinkling with excitement, murmuring: “Heaven Escape Technique, this is an escape technique that involves the understanding of space!”
In addition to this, Taixu’s memories also contained a secret method inheritance called the Tai Xu Soul Sutra. With four layers in total, it can definitely be useful even in the Nascent Soul Realm.
The Tai Xu Soul Sutra includes methods of soul cultivation and some complementary secret techniques. It is a complete inheritance of the soul-based Dao techniques.
Although the puppet body found out that this soul-based Dao technique is not as good as the Gold Cicada secret technique, the value of the inheritance cannot be underestimated.
The puppet body thought to himself: “This soul-based Dao technique can be left to the family as an ancestral inheritance method.”
As for the Heaven Escape Technique —
This is a space-based Dao technique. After the puppet body received this inheritance and roughly sensed it, he couldn’t hide his joy.
After all—
He himself didn’t have the inheritance of the Space Dao technique.
His comprehension of the great Dao of space entirely came from the Mirror Moon Symbol. His crude use and understanding of space’s power were all self-made.
And the inheritance of the Heaven Escape Technique undoubtedly illuminates a path for Su Yu.
Even though this is only a technique for escaping, if he comprehends it thoroughly —
It’s evident that Su Yu’s understanding and mastery of the power of space will definitely move up a notch.
Apart from the inheritance, the puppet body also got some information about Taixu Alliance’s treasury. The main alliance of Taixu has a secret realm of the Spiritual Veins Cave Sky which spans about thirty to forty li).
Inside, there is a treasure vault and a medicinal garden.
It’s estimated that the resources in the vault are worth a hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
There are quite a few good things in the medicinal garden, including two Golden Yuan Fruit trees.
Apart from that, there is also a fourth-grade Spirit Plant called the Nascent Fruit, which is used to temper the Dao foundation and Mana, especially for the regular Core Formation cultivators.
Back then, the Alliance Hierarch Taixu used this Nascent Fruit to temper his Dao foundation, along with a Sacred Yuan Peach Tree taken from Taoist Shuhai.
With the help of these two, he forcefully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm and became a True Monarch.
Therefore, this fourth-grade Nascent Fruit plant could be called a treasured medicine that helps in forming a Nascent Soul.
Thinking of this, the Puppet Daoist suddenly felt a twinge of regret, “The Sacred Peach Tree was snatched away by Taoist Friend Shuhai.”
If it hadn’t been taken away, it would have been his.
Shaking his head, the Puppet Daoist suppressed this thought and with a wave of his hand, two items appeared in front of him.
One was an unknown metal fragment about a foot in size, silver-white in color.
The other was an ancient bronze lamp.
The auras radiating from both items were comparable to that of lower-grade magical treasures.
The previous Taixu Alliance Hierarch had relied on these two items, managing to hold out against him for a long time.
When he beheaded him, the Hierarch’s Nascent Soul had attempted to flee with these two items.
Unfortunately, by then, the Taixu Alliance Hierarch was at the end of his rope, how could he have escaped?
In the end, his Nascent Soul was sealed by the Puppet Daoist, and these two items fell into the Puppet Daoist’s hands.
The silver-white unknown metal fragment had a hint of spatial energy, according to the memories of the Taixu Alliance Hierarch, this object was a legacy of the Taixu Immortal Alliance, coming from an ancient relic. Along with it, the learned Spatial Dao method, Illusionary Sky Escape Skill, was also passed down.
The Puppet Daoist stared at it for a moment, then turned his gaze to the ancient bronze lamp next to it, his brow lightly furrowed.
This ancient lamp had a very strange aura, filled with impurities, giving off an ominous vibe.
But upon closer inspection, he found that the bumps on the surface of the ancient lamp seemed to be made up of individual characters.
After a careful look, the Puppet Daoist was surprised, “Is this Buddhist scripture?”
This ancient bronze lamp, was it a Buddhist instrument?
The Buddhist scripture was called the Rebirth Sutra. After reciting it once, he found it to be just a common scripture without any cultivation methods.
Moreover, there was no Buddhist aura on the lamp right now, only impurities.
Basing on the way the previous Taixu Alliance Hierarch had used the power of this ancient lamp, the main power of this lamp seemed to lie in the impurity energy.
The Puppet Daoist had a slight frown, pondered for a moment, and put away the ancient lamp.
He then removed the spiritual imprint of the Taixu Alliance Hierarch from the fragment, imprinting his own spiritual imprint onto it, before keeping it for further nurturing and mastering when he returned.
He could also comprehend the spatial dao aura on it.
It was a pity that the origin of this fragment was unknown.
If it were a complete spatial dao magical treasure, how powerful would it be?
The Puppet Daoist could only regret while thinking about it.
“Let’s go, make a trip to the main branch of the Taixu Immortal Alliance, take away the things and directly return.”
When the Puppet Daoist arrived at the main branch of the Taixu Immortal Alliance two days later, it was still peaceful here. It seemed that no one knew about the accident that had happened to the Taixu Alliance Hierarch.
Using spatial power, the Puppet Daoist easily infiltrated the Cave Sky Mystery Realm of the main branch of the Taixu Immortal Alliance.
After killing two third-tier superior beast tamers guarding the Cave Sky Mystery Realm, the Puppet Daoist swept up everything inside and left silently.
Half a month later.
The Great Moon Prefecture counterattacked the Taixu Immortal Alliance.
The remaining powerhouses of the eighteen branches of the Taixu Immortal Alliance and the main branch gathered in Chex Immortal City. Without the high-rankers presiding, the cultivators at the Taixu Immortal Alliance frontline collapsed instantly, giving up their conquered immortal cities, towns, marketplaces, and resource lands, fleeing back to the Purple Light Prefecture.
The Great Moon Palace’s Ancestor, Fairy Liu Xu, personally led the cultivators of the Great Moon Palace and various forces of the Great Moon Prefecture in a counterattack against the Purple Light Prefecture of the Taixu Immortal Alliance.
What surprised everyone was that their counterattack seemed unexpectedly smooth?
Until they approached the Chex Immortal City of the Chex branch.
The Ancestor of the Blood Phoenix Immortal Gate from Fengluo Prefecture appeared, with a large group of cultivators from Fengluo Prefecture, they joined hands with the remaining cultivators of the Taixu Immortal Alliance to besiege the Great Moon Prefecture.
Fairy Liu Xu was besieged by the Ancestor of the Blood Phoenix Immortal Gate and another Early Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch.
Luckily.
The Great Moon Palace, Yunjian Sect, and the Su Family had numerous Mirror Moon Symbols made by Su Yu.
With the help of these symbols, the people of the Great Moon Prefecture broke the encirclement and retreated from the Chex branch after paying a small price, preparing for the next battle.
At this moment, the news of the Taixu Alliance Hierarch’s fall caused a shock among all in the Great Moon Prefecture.
In the north of the Great Moon Prefecture.
Near the Purple Light Prefecture of the Taixu Immortal Alliance territory, in a Great Moon Palace marketplace base, Su Yu listened to Taoist Qingquan, Luo Qianyu, Su Zhi, and others reciting their experience in the Chex Immortal City, his brow furrowed in surprise, “The Blood Phoenix Immortal Gate intervened in this matter?”
Taoist Qingquan frowned, his expression frosty, and said: “To be precise, not the Blood Phoenix Immortal Gate, it’s the Azure Prison Immortal Palace! The Ancestor of the Blood Phoenix Immortal Gate has joined the Azure Prison Immortal Palace!”
