Time passed very quickly, and Wang Baole had already been there for three days. In those three days, he had used a total of more than five thousand puppets. These were all accumulated when he was the City Lord of the Martian special regional city. Every time his skill in refining weapons improved, he would habitually upgrade these puppets slightly.
Therefore, the lowest level of his puppets was comparable to the True Breath realm. There were even hundreds of puppets that were comparable to the Foundation Establishment realm. The most shocking of all were the batch of special puppets that he had first refined. Although there were only two of them left, in terms of combat ability, they had reached the level of False Core realm, which was equivalent to the Perfected Foundation Establishment realm.
However, as Wang Baole's level of cultivation increased, the puppets were no longer of much use. Therefore, he had accumulated so many of them. Now, in this test of the restriction, these puppets were finally able to display their greatest advantage.
That was … to test and test in all directions. In three days, Wang Baole had finally found the flaw in the restriction!
"There are a total of three small cracks …" Wang Baole sat cross-legged at the side and carefully observed the mountain peak before him. He didn't know how long it would take for another shift and change to occur here, but it shouldn't take too long. Therefore, Wang Baole understood that everything had to be done as soon as possible.
However, this matter couldn't be rushed. After all, based on Wang Baole's judgment, with his level of cultivation, even his physical body, he wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the black lines flashing by the restriction. If he were to face it head-on, a single mistake would cause his body and soul to be instantly destroyed.
"I just want to earn some battle credits. It's so difficult …" Wang Baole sighed. Looking at the corpses in the mountain and the pavilion within them, a look of determination appeared in his eyes. He had no choice. The storage bags on the corpses had been something that he had desired for a long time.
Therefore, after taking a deep breath, Wang Baole's eyes shone brightly. He stared at the mountain peak before him and calculated the time. Every time it took an incense stick to burn, he would throw out a puppet. After that, he gradually increased the number of puppets. Every time the puppets tried to pass through the restriction, they would be swept by the black lines that appeared.
It was in this way that another eight hours passed. Suddenly, as one of Wang Baole's puppets pounced toward the mountain peak, the black line flickered and flashed. However, there was a moment when it paused!
"This is the flaw!" It was as if he had calculated the timing beforehand. Almost at the instant the pause appeared, Wang Baole's eyes shone with an intense light. His body shot out like a bolt of lightning. He formed hand seals and circulated all of his cultivation base. With a wave of his hand, a large number of Dharmic treasures spread out around him at the same time. There were also a few Dharmic Armaments circling around him, especially a ribbon. As it danced, it formed a powerful defensive force.
All of these preparations and defensive measures seemed to have been calculated in advance. In a flash, Wang Baole moved so quickly that he was like a shooting star, piercing through everything and heading straight for the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, he made contact with the invisible restriction. The black line, which should have appeared at the same time, paused for a moment on Wang Baole's puppets. It was slightly slower than before!
This slight delay allowed Wang Baole to pass through the hex instantly and appear inside the mountain. However, he didn't destroy the hex. Therefore, even though he was on the mountain, the sense of danger that was transmitted from inside and outside his body was still extremely strong. It was as if a tsunami had erupted.
However, Wang Baole couldn't care less about that. The moment he passed through the restriction and appeared on the mountain peak, he lifted his right hand and made a grasping motion toward the bags of holding on the nearby corpses.
Instantly, four bags of holding whistled through the air toward him. After grabbing them, Wang Baole suppressed his greed and retreated at the same speed he had used to enter the mountain peak. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. Clearly, during the past three days, Wang Baole had performed numerous simulations in his mind.
However, just as his silhouette retreated and was about to leave the hex's perimeter, the black thread suddenly appeared, as if it had passed the time when it would be vulnerable. It swept across Wang Baole's body.
The speed of the black line exceeded Wang Baole's, reaching an inconceivable level. However, Wang Baole had been prepared for it. Even as the black line neared, the magical items swirling around him appeared to block its path.
In an instant, the magical items around Wang Baole came into contact with the black line. Without a sound, the magical items were sliced apart as if they were made of paper. Regardless of whether it was their core or their material, they were all extremely fragile in front of the black line. They were all sliced in half.
Fortunately, the power of the ribbons was extraordinary. In an instant, they formed a whirlpool. Furthermore, the magical items around Wang Baole's body unleashed their power and blocked the black line once again. Hence, as a deafening boom reverberated in the air, just as the ribbons and magical items were about to collapse, Wang Baole finally rushed out of the restrictive spell.
Although he had rushed out, the recoil from the restrictive spell was still violent. It caused Wang Baole to vomit blood violently. Even his eyes were a little dazed. After flying out of the restrictive spell, he could not even stand properly and vomited another mouthful of blood. Regardless of whether it was the ribbons or the magical items, they seemed to have lost control due to Wang Baole's severe injuries. They staggered and fell to the ground one by one.
Wang Baole also staggered a few steps. Large amounts of blood seeped out of his chest and he fell to the side. It was as if he had lost consciousness due to his severe injuries.
Even the storage bags that he had retrieved fell from his hands and landed beside his unconscious body. At this moment, the black line of the restrictive spell flashed and slowly disappeared. The area also fell silent as the restrictive spell stopped.
This silence lasted for a full hour. During this hour, the surroundings were completely silent. Only Wang Baole's severely injured body lay there motionless. It was as if he had no strength to fight back at all. It was as if someone with the slightest bit of ill intent had come and killed him.
The Dharmic Armaments and storage bags that were scattered around him were enough for a greedy person to kill him and steal his treasures … Perhaps Wang Baole's luck was good, or perhaps the others' luck was … very good. Therefore, during this hour, no one appeared. Even the white-robed female ghost did not come.
After an hour passed, Wang Baole, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. In his eyes, there wasn't a hint of confusion that would be present in a person who had just woken up. Instead, there was a deep, unfathomable look.
"It seems that there is indeed no one else around … That white-robed female ghost was indeed returning a favor. Otherwise, with my acting so well, if someone really had ill intent, there was no way they would not have attacked." Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and stood up from the ground. At this moment, all the injuries that he had suffered before were actually fake.
In reality, that was indeed the case. Wang Baole's vigilance did not lessen because of the appearance of the mountain. He was worried that there might be traps around him, so he pretended to be injured in order to lure someone out. As for the Dharmic Armaments around him, although they seemed scattered, they were Dharmic Treasures that he had personally refined. If someone appeared, he would be able to activate them instantly.
"Since there is no one else, I won't waste any more time!" Having reached this point in his train of thought, Wang Baole waved his hand to collect up the scattered objects. Then, his eyes shone with a fierce light as he stared at the mountain. After a long moment, his Lightning Core suddenly erupted with power. Bolts of lightning danced around him, and a frigid flame burned within him. At the same time, cracking sounds could be heard coming from his fleshly body, which was the sign that he was pushing his fleshly body power to the limit.
But that wasn't the end of it. He was surrounded by colorful ribbons, as well as a three-colored sword aura. As of this moment, both his aura and the feeling he gave off were far beyond what they had been before. After making all these preparations, he waited for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. Then, he threw out ten puppets, which then shot toward the restrictive spell along with the ten puppets.
This time, he moved even faster than before, twice as fast as before. In the blink of an eye, he took advantage of the second weak point in the restrictive spell to pierce through its defenses. The devouring seed inside of him exploded with power. Rumbling sounds could be heard as the bags of holding belonging to the dozens of corpses were suddenly grabbed by invisible hands and pulled toward him!
According to his previous calculations, even though he would suffer some injuries if he turned around and left, they wouldn't be too serious. However, just as Wang Baole was about to retreat, his eyes suddenly widened as he stared at the top of the mountain. Due to the hex, he couldn't see clearly in the outside world. Only within the mountain could he see clearly … the cave abode!
Inside the Immortal's cave, there was a corpse sitting there cross-legged, wearing luxurious clothing. Furthermore … a violet command medallion could be seen on the corpse's leg!!
"Conclave disciple command medallion!!"
