?Chapter 968: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 965 Puppet Great Success Chapter 968: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 965 Puppet Great Success “Have you ever heard of Divine Unity Paste?” Monarch Great Development asked in a deep voice.
“Of course, I have heard of it.
Divine Unity Paste, also known as Transforming Balm, is said to be able to freely transform and craft into artifacts.
It has a special ability to heal itself when damaged and is a rare material in complex Magic Artifact crafting.
Could it be this stuff?
But I heard that Divine Unity Paste is white, like beautiful jade, why does it look so unremarkable?” Han Li was also surprised, staring at the pieces of the fragmented stele as he asked in astonishment.
“Han Li, you need not be so alarmed.
These are indeed Divine Unity Paste, but they have been mixed with other materials and specially crafted by ancient experts.
In ancient times, it was known as Chi Ling Soft Jade.
The cultivators who can recognize it in the world definitely do not exceed ten people.
I too only saw a bit about it in some ancient expert’s ancient cave dwelling early on, and had since then put it out of my mind.
Had it not been for a recent event that related to this material, I would still be unable to recognize it,” explained Monarch Great Development.
“Chi Ling Soft Jade?
How does it differ from ordinary Divine Unity Paste?” Han Li wondered thoughtfully.

“Did you not find out yourself initially?
Once crafted, this Divine Unity Paste not only maximizes its shape-changing and self-repairing effects but can also absorb a cultivator’s mana attacks.
A full-powered strike brimming with spiritual power, upon touching this material, can be weakened by more than half.
The only drawback is that it fears attacks on its physical form, for it inherently has no defensive capabilities.
Yet even so, this makes the paste’s value barely less than that of Auric Essence,” Monarch Great Development elaborated.
“I see, then Elder wishes to use this Divine Unity Paste to craft something on the puppet’s body?” Upon hearing of the miraculous effects of Chi Ling Soft Jade, Han Li naturally showed a look of great joy and couldn’t help but ask further.
“Need you even ask!
This Divine Unity Paste paired with your Silverstar Sand is naturally the perfect material for crafting puppet shells.
With these two materials combined, even without any defensive Daoist paper talismans, there are few in the human world who could easily destroy it,” Monarch Great Development said proudly.
“Then let’s follow Elder’s words,” Han Li agreed without hesitation.
“Hmm, don’t touch these things for now.
We’ll craft the other parts first.
It is estimated that it will take another year to nearly complete the crafting of the different parts, after which we can fuse them into a complete puppet.
Let us continue with the parts now.”
“Alright.” Han Li agreed, and with a flick of his sleeve, a draft of green haze swept past and the materials on the ground disappeared without a trace.
Then, with a slap on his storage pouch, seven or eight jade boxes containing other materials were placed in front of him.
Han Li began crafting the next puppet part.
As spring went and autumn came, the days passed by.
For a being in the realm of immortal cultivators, a year passed almost in the blink of an eye.
During this time, aside from Han Li closing his doors to craft the puppet, the twelve Six-Winged Frost Centipedes, stimulated by a monthly Snow Essence Pill, unexpectedly advanced.
After a molt cycle, these centipedes not only grew larger but finally sprouted a pair of snow-white wings.
Their increased speed and agility were unexpected delights.
However, after this advancement, the Snow Essence Pills weren’t as effective on the Six-Winged Frost Centipedes as before, nowhere near the level of effect they had prior to the advancement.
One day, Han Li stood with his eyes tightly shut in the middle of a secret room, a humanoid figure with a shimmering silver light suspended in mid-air in front of him.
His fingers constantly twitched and flicked, sending out ten golden threads that connected directly to various parts of the puppet body, his expression solemn.
Above the silver puppet, a bamboo tube emitted a faint green spiritual glow, slowly rotating.
After an unknown period, Han Li’s expression shifted, his fingers stopped, and he finally opened his eyes.
“It looks like there are no issues.
The parts of the puppet have fused perfectly.
To assemble the components so smoothly, this was quite beyond my expectations,” Han Li said with a trace of joy as he stared at the object in front of him.
“This puppet is my creation.
You were able to craft it error-free under my guidance.
Now that all is well, it seems we can commence the soul fusion,” Monarch Great Development’s voice drifted faintly from the bamboo tube.
“Elder truly wishes to proceed this way, without further consideration?
You are also using the Soul-splitting Technique for the first time, and there might be unexpected complications that could significantly impact your reincarnation cycle.
Moreover, once the soul is split, Elder’s remaining soul will surely dissipate and be unable to endure,” upon hearing this, Han Li’s face lost its joyful expression, asking solemnly.
“Hehe, I have devoted most of my life to the Puppetry Technique, and merging my own soul with this puppet has always been my true desire.
Besides, even if I do not employ the Soul-splitting Technique, my time is near.
What is there to hesitate about?
You need not persuade me further.
It is I who have already imparted to you all remaining teachings of the Great Development Technique; I hope you can carry it on, not allowing it to end the lineage,” Monarch Great Development chuckled lightly, unconcerned.
Han Li listened to his words, furrowing his brows, and after a long moment, he sighed deeply.
“Since Elder is so resolute, I will say no more.
I hope everything goes smoothly for Elder.”
Monarch Great Development laughed heartily, and the bamboo tube suddenly split into two halves with a flash of green light, and a resplendent golden figure suddenly appeared there.
This small figure was a humanoid puppet several inches tall, made from neither metal nor wood, exquisitely detailed, vaguely resembling a shrunk hundredfold middle-aged man with a refined appearance.
At this moment, the small figure’s eyes flickered with green light, and he seated himself cross-legged.
A deep spell incantation suddenly transmitted, and a green light flew out from the mouth of the small figure, turning into the size of a fist, enveloping its form.
Seeing this, Han Li’s lips twitched slightly, yet he uttered no words.
As the incantations grew more urgent, the green light gradually became dazzling, nearly unbearable to look at directly.
Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and his pupils contracted, with blue light flickering incessantly.
Then, Monarch Great Development let out a painful yell, causing the whole secret chamber to buzz and vibrate.
At this, Han Li’s expression changed, and the green light abruptly split in two, the larger part directly drifting towards the Silver Puppet, while the smaller swiftly re-entered the small figure’s mouth, revealing the form of the humanoid puppet once again.
However, this time, the small figure’s head dipped slightly, and its eyes were dull and lifeless.
Seeing this, Han Li did not dare to delay.
He pointed repeatedly at the Silver Puppet, and immediately the humanoid puppet opened its mouth.
More than ten thin silver threads shot out, enveloping the split light and pulling it into its body.
Then, the entire puppet’s silver light burst forth, and its form began to tremble incessantly.
Han Li’s expression darkened and without a word, he opened his mouth and a violet flame sprayed out, striking the puppet’s body.
With a loud “hisss”, a thick layer of ice rapidly spread over the puppet, instantly encasing it in a massive block of ice.
It was only then that Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, raising his head to glance at the small figure in mid-air, a hint of worry fleeting across his face.
“So this is what splitting the soul feels like, truly a marvelous sensation.
Probably only I, among all the cultivators under heaven, can experience such a taste,” Monarch Great Development’s laughing voice suddenly came from the small figure, but the voice was clearly weak and powerless, as if he was recovering from a severe illness.
“Elder, are you alright?” Han Li couldn’t help but ask upon hearing this voice.
“Don’t worry.
Although I can’t maintain myself for long after splitting my soul, I will still be safe for the next ten days or half a month.
Quickly complete the fusion of this puppet and its soul fragment, so that I can witness the true power of this puppet before my divine sense collapses,” Monarch Great Development urged excitedly.
“That is natural.
But before that, let me use a Soul Calming Talisman to stabilize your remaining soul essence, to avoid any accidents,” Han Li said, raising his eyebrows and flicking his sleeves, a bloody red Daoist paper talisman flying into his hand.
“A Soul Calming Talisman, that’s rather rare.
Isn’t it a waste to use it on someone who is about to die?” Monarch Great Development sounded a bit surprised.
“This talisman came from the storage pouch of a Nascent Soul cultivator I killed last time.
No matter how precious, it was freely obtained, so there’s nothing to regret,” Han Li said calmly, then flicked his wrist, and the bloody talisman suddenly turned into a streak of red light, hitting the small puppet.
A burst of blood mist erupted and was quickly absorbed by the body of the small figure.
“Much better, thank you.
But, this was your choice to use the talisman, so don’t expect me to feel indebted to you,” Monarch Great Development’s voice immediately grew louder, replying in a slightly different tone.
“It’s nothing.
Just consider it a small interest on a favor you did for me in the past,” Han Li remained silent for a while, then replied calmly.
Monarch Great Development grunted a few times, then suddenly waved his hands towards the two halves of the bamboo canisters on the ground.
Immediately with two “swoosh” sounds, the pieces flew and joined together around the small figure, restoring the appearance of the whole bamboo canister.
Then, the canister floated down and stood erect in front of Han Li.
At this moment, without waiting for Monarch Great Development to say anything, Han Li gestured towards the giant block of ice with one hand.
The purple light flickered within the ice, and the humanoid puppet began to slowly dissolve and melt the surrounding ice.
Han Li then sat down cross-legged again, and suddenly slapped his heavenly spiritual covering with one hand.
As a bright green light emanated from his head, a hazy Nascent Soul emerged and flew directly towards the humanoid puppet…
Three months later, on the desolate island where Han Li was located, suddenly a green rainbow shot into the sky and vanished into the distance.
Ku Zhu Island, a small island near the sea in Great Jin, was enveloped year-round in blue fog.
While the master of the island, Old Man Ku Zhu, had no reputation among the inland cultivators of Immortal Cultivation, many mid and late Nascent Soul cultivators from the inland knew of him and held him in great fear.
Among the overseas cultivators, however, Old Man Ku Zhu’s fame was even more illustrious.
Although he was only in the mid Nascent Soul Stage, with the aid of 365 Cold Bamboo Flying Swords and a Celestial Mulberry Divine Tree on Ku Zhu Island, he was seen by many overseas cultivators as an existence on par with the Overseas Three Immortals.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Trees Great Array, with the Celestial Mulberry Divine Tree as its formation core, incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring, had been a well-known among the ancient formations for tens of thousands of years overseas, weakening the divine abilities of even late Nascent Soul cultivators who entered it by three parts.
But that day, an unwelcome visitor arrived above the island…(To be continued, if you wish to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com, with more chapters, supports the author, supports genuine reading!)
