"Ahem, ahem, you bastard! How dare you treat me like this! How dare you put me in that damned place again!"
The prairie in late autumn was cold and boundless. It was already late at night, and the withered grass around was slowly covered with a thin layer of frost. There was no one around, so Junior Leopard took out the green lamp from the independent space. As soon as he came out, Green Spirit cried out, very dissatisfied with Junior Leopard's behavior.
"That place is much more spacious than the underground palace of the Small Thunder Temple!" Junior Leopard laughed, "And there are many things!"
"Humph!" Green Spirit snorted coldly and did not speak. Now the green lamp, his only shelter, had been refined by Junior Leopard. In a sense, the relationship between him and Junior Leopard was similar to that between a landlord and a tenant without a contract. Although he had made Junior Leopard swear before entering the green lamp that he would never force him to do anything he did not want to do, the problem was that Junior Leopard did not need to force him to do anything. As long as he was willing to do something on the green lamp, he would not be able to live there even if he wanted to.
Therefore, no matter how arrogant the Big Ancient Demon was, he had no choice but to lower his head in front of Junior Leopard. After complaining for a while, he shut his mouth and only snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction with Junior Leopard's behavior.
"I can't help it. The lamp is too dazzling!" Junior Leopard shrugged, "Since it's useless, it's not good for me. So I can't put it back in my Dantian. I can only put it in a place where others can't see it. If you don't like it, you can come out of the lamp at any time!"
"Humph!"
Then he snorted, "Why did you bring me out? What's the matter? "
"You see, that's not right. Why do I have to call you out when I have something to do? In that case, you will become my slave. I just feel that the moonlight is beautiful tonight and the prairie is quiet. I was afraid that you would be bored staying in that space, so I took out the lamp and wanted to chat with you. If you like peace and quiet, I will put the lamp back! "" That's all! "Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"That's not necessary. It's good to talk. Although there are many things in that place, it's too quiet!" Green Spirit quickly said.
A human and a spirit began to chat on the grassland. The content of their conversation was very varied, but it was also a good way to pass the time.
Junior Leopard understood that the relationship between people needed to be managed, but how could it be managed? If you met an ordinary person, you could invite him to drink, eat, sing, and be your younger sister, and the relationship would naturally improve. But if you met an original spirit that didn't need to eat, drink, sing, or be your younger sister, what would you do?
That's easy. I just need to find his weakness.
Green Spirit's biggest weakness was that he was afraid of loneliness. He had been trapped in the damn underground palace for hundreds of thousands of years. It was already very lucky that he didn't go crazy. In fact, Junior Leopard even secretly thought that Green Spirit had actually gone crazy, but he couldn't see it for the time being.
It was easy to deal with this weakness. Junior Leopard first locked him in a similar place, and then when he had nothing to do, he would bring him out to chat and chat. Gradually, their relationship would naturally become closer. Anyway, this guy could only stay in the green lamp, and since the green lamp was refined by him, he couldn't leave it, nor would he find someone else. After a long time, Junior Leopard believed that Green Spirit would definitely be drained by him.
With such a Great Ancient Demon by his side, the benefits of being invisible were huge.
That was why he had nothing to do in the middle of the night and came to the depths of the prairie to spend time chatting with Green Spirit.
"Didn't you say that you want to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon? The moonlight tonight is good! " Junior Leopard said, "If you want to absorb the Ninth Heaven Thunderbolt Qi, that's okay. I can take you to a place with thunder. But this kind of laborious thing needs to be paid!"
"You want me to absorb the Ninth Heaven Thunderbolt Qi now? Are you kidding me? I don't want to be struck to death by the thunderbolt. But I'll take the essence of the moonlight! " Green Spirit said happily. It turned into a wisp of light green smoke and came out of the wick. Facing the silver-white moonlight, it floated in the air and trembled slightly, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon from the moonlight.
The soft moonlight gently shrouded this layer of light smoke. Junior Leopard watched the green smoke carefully absorb wisps of extremely tiny particles in the moonlight into its body. Then, under the flow of the green smoke, the particles merged with the green smoke. Junior Leopard couldn't help but feel moved.
"I was worried that I didn't know the way of Demonic Cultivation. The Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion can only practice the poisonous sting at the back of its tail according to its instinct. This guy is a Great Ancient Demon, so he must know the way of Demonic Cultivation. I might as well ask him!"
Junior Leopard thought to himself. As his mind turned, a small, verdant scorpion crawled out of his sleeve. It climbed to a protruding stone on the prairie and, like Green Spirit, started to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. Of course, Junior Leopard used the same absorption process as before to refine the poisonous sting at the back of his tail.
After an unknown amount of time, the moon in the sky was gradually about to set. The floating green smoke trembled a bit and suddenly condensed in one place.
"Boy, where did you get such a scorpion? Hey, you've taken away its soul and replaced it with your thoughts. Boy, are you going to refine it into a puppet?"
"Good eyesight. Yes, I'm indeed going to refine it into a puppet!"
"It seems that I have underestimated you. Not only do you have the bloodline of the Primordial Congenital Deity, but you also seem to know the Cultivation Method of Spirit Cultivation. I have underestimated you when you are only at Level Seven!"
"These are just small skills. If I didn't have these eyes, even if I could divide my thoughts, I wouldn't be able to occupy this thing's body!"
"Boy, don't be too arrogant. The way you control puppets is the way that the Primordial Innate Deity controls puppets. The puppet techniques of later generations are all created by necromancers according to this method. However, without the Heavenly Magic Eyes, they can't take out the soul of a living creature completely. Therefore, they use corpses or inanimate objects to make puppets. How can it be better than you using the body of a living creature directly?" Green Lamp sighed.
"Could it be that even the Powerful Divines in antiquity times couldn't take out the soul of a living creature completely?"
"No, the Powerful Divines in antiquity times could easily break up the soul of a living creature, but they couldn't take it out completely like you did. After the soul is broken up, the living creature will die immediately. There are many ways to take out the soul of a living creature, but these methods can only take out most of the soul, not the whole soul. As long as there is a trace of the soul imprint in the body of a living creature, no matter how strong your thoughts are, they can't be completely integrated into it. It's also difficult to control it, and there are even many problems in the future. Therefore, they would rather make puppets out of inanimate objects and corpses! "
"Is it so difficult to take out a living creature's soul?"
"Hehe, of course you wouldn't feel it since you have the power of the Heavenly Magic Eyes. However, you should be able to feel that the soul of a living being not only fuses with the brain, but also spreads to every part of the body. The part that fuses with the brain is equivalent to the branches, leaves, and trunk. Under the branches, leaves, and trunk, there are a large number of roots. Just like a tree, the more powerful a living being is, the more roots it will have, and the deeper the roots will be. It's very easy for you to destroy a big tree. You can destroy it with a hammer or a fire; however, if you want to uproot it and make sure that even the tiniest root is not completely connected, it's a hundred times more difficult. Besides, besides uprooting a big tree and making sure that every tiny root is intact, you also have to make sure that the ground where the tree is rooted doesn't suffer any damage. Do you think it's possible?"
"It's impossible for ordinary people, but for the Powerful Divines —!"
"It's easy for them to uproot a big tree, but a living soul is not a big tree!" Green Spirit sighed. "Apart from the power of the Heavenly Magic Eye, there's really no other way to take out a living soul neatly!"
"It seems that it's really good to have this kind of bloodline!"
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Your eyes are not the Heavenly Magic Eyes. In addition to the Heavenly Magic Eyes, you have integrated other bloodlines. At least, I can see that your eyes also have the functions of several innate divine eyes, such as the Black Water Real Eyes. I don't know how those necromancers managed to integrate so many bloodlines of Innate Deities into one. However, I know that those necromancers had another theory about stealing bloodlines of Innate Deities!" "That's right.
"What theory?"
"The Hybrid Theory!" Green Spirit said, "The bloodline of Innate Deities is too powerful for ordinary creatures to bear. Therefore, in the beginning, they diluted the function of this powerful bloodline, only taking the weakest of each bloodline, suppressing the most powerful functions, and implanting them into the bodies of ordinary creatures so that their bodies could slowly adapt to this bloodline. As time went by, the bodies would not only adapt to it, but also be greatly strengthened by the power of this bloodline. In the end, the functions of the bloodline of Innate Deities would be gradually exerted!"
"That's a good method!"
"It's indeed a good method. I heard that it was successful in the beginning, but soon, a problem arose. This method could indeed exert part of the bloodline's power, but at the same time, the bodies of the creatures with the bloodline would slowly collapse. Even if the bloodline was successfully integrated into the body, once stimulated, the power of the bloodline would awaken, and the speed of awakening would greatly exceed the speed of body strengthening and adaptation. Therefore, this method failed in the end. But at the same time, the necromancers found that if they integrated several bloodlines together, the power of each bloodline would restrict each other, which could slow down the speed of awakening and growth of the bloodline. This is the Hybrid Theory. But it's not easy to integrate several bloodlines into one body at the same time. Anyway, they haven't succeeded until I was imprisoned in the Small Thunder Temple!"
"Now it seems that they have succeeded!"
"Maybe they succeeded, maybe they didn't!" Green Spirit sneered. "The power of your bloodline has just been developed. Maybe the more you use it, the faster the speed of bloodline awakening will be. Your cultivation is only at Level Seven, and your body is also that of an ordinary person. Do you think you can bear the power of so many bloodlines?"
"F * ck!" Junior Leopard's heart trembled. Thinking of the tiredness he felt every time he used the Fiery Eyes, he suddenly shivered. "Damn, it turns out that I've been playing with fire. No, I can't do this next time. The Fiery Eyes are helpful to me, but it's not worth risking my life for them!"
"Your puppet is not bad. It's an Upper Grade one. However, you don't seem to know the Demonic Cultivation Method!"
"I was just going to ask you!"
"You're very smart. Although you don't know the Demonic Cultivation Method, you've found the way of practicing the natal magic weapon. You didn't delay anything!"
"I'm lucky!"
"If you're lucky, it's not necessarily a good thing!" Green Spirit smiled. "Don't you think it's a little strange?"
"Strange? What do you mean? "
"The Small Thunder Temple suddenly appeared in the present world and connected with it. Do you think it's just an accident? The Small Thunder Temple has been floating in the hollow for hundreds of thousands of years, and I've never seen it stop anywhere! "
"It's not strange. There have been many Ancient Ruins in the past!"
"This is different!" Green Spirit said, "I don't know about the space of other schools, but I know about the Small Thunder Temple clearly. Although I was imprisoned at that time, I know that the micro world of the Small Thunder Temple was blown into the depths of the hollow by Great Sage Mo Luo. His Qianyuan Palm-leaf Fan is a Taihao Fairy Weapon. With one fan, it can break the endless hollow. Hum, hundreds of thousands of years. Let me tell you, if there's no special reason, the Small Thunder Temple can't return to the present world even after millions of years!"
"Then why did it come back?"
"Yes, why did it come back?" Green Spirit said with a smile, "That's why I felt something was wrong. But I've been locked up in the underground palace for hundreds of thousands of years. Not long after I came out, you locked me up in your micro world again. Of course, I don't know why!"
"It's fine if you don't know. I'm really not interested in such things!" Junior Leopard said, "I don't want to get into trouble!"
"Under the current essence of the world, do you really think that you can stay out of the world when you've reached Level Seven at your age and have the bloodline of the Primordial Innate Deity? Even if you want to stay out of the world, others won't agree! "
"Who won't agree?"
"I don't know. It's just my feeling!" Green Spirit smiled happily. "Well, let's not talk about these things. If you want the Demonic Cultivation Incantation, I can teach you now. In this way, your puppet doesn't have to condense its own Natal Magic Weapon all day long!"
"That's troublesome!" The muscles on Junior Leopard's face twitched.
… …
… …
One month passed by quickly.
Ever since Junior Leopard felt that he was too distracted by the matter of the fief that delayed the progress of his cultivation, he completely left the matter of the fief to Jiang Xiao and gave Jiang Xiao great authority. At least in his territory, Jiang Xiao had become an authoritative figure.
Junior Leopard locked himself in his room. On the one hand, he began to practice his puppet according to the Demonic Cultivation Method taught by Green Spirit. On the other hand, he slowly felt the temperature of the Underground Fire Golden Essence, so as to prepare for refining his first Pure Yang Celestial Device in the future.
Unfortunately, the peaceful days only lasted for a month. One month later, Wang Cheng and Zhu Ba came back, along with their families, more than 500 people and a large number of materials. Of course, these people were still on the way, so Zhu Ba and Wang Cheng came back first.
"Why are you in such a hurry?!" As soon as they returned to their fief, Wang Cheng and Zhu Ba went straight to Junior Leopard's yard without taking a rest. Zhu Ba, in particular, shouted in the yard before he arrived, which made Junior Leopard angry.
"No, my lord. It's really urgent!"
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Wang Cheng was also here, Junior Leopard knew that this matter was really serious. Otherwise, Wang Cheng would not go crazy with Zhu Ba.
"Sir, we heard about something major when we returned to the Chinese server!"
"What's the big deal?"
"I don't really understand either. It seems to be the emergence of some Ancient Ruins!" Zhu Ba scratched his head in confusion.
"The appearance of the Ancient Ruins?" Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows. He knew the Ancient Ruins very well. Perhaps no one in the world knew it better than him. He said, "What does the appearance of the Ancient Ruins have to do with us? “
"You know the Ancient Ruins? “
"Nonsense, of course I know! Junior Leopard turned to Wang Cheng and asked, "This guy is so clumsy that he can't tell me anything. You tell him!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Wang Cheng smiled and told him the whole story.
It turned out that the last time the Ancient Ruins appeared, it did not just provoke those people whom Junior Leopard met. In addition to them, other well-known families and schools also sent people there, including experts from the palace. Besides, there were more entrances to the Ancient Ruins than the isolated island they went to. Junior Leopard also knew this. The people from the East Sea Chaotian Palace did not go with them, but they also appeared in the Ancient Ruins. This showed that there was at least another entrance to the Small Thunder Temple.
Junior Leopard also knew the situation in the Ancient Ruins. Although the weeds growing all over the ground were all precious medicines in the present world, and any dead things on the ground were all celestial devices, after so many years, even fairy weapons were almost useless, let alone celestial devices. Junior Leopard was lucky enough to pick up a Pure Yang Celestial Device, which was also useless. If he had not brought back an old demon, this trip would not have been worth it. However, there were people in the world who were luckier than him.
Most people, like him, picked up some medicinal herbs and then came out. However, there was a group of people who were so lucky that they picked up a Pure Yang Celestial Device.
The current situation in the Central Plains was caused by this group of people.
Experts from the imperial palace!
Experts from the imperial palace!
They picked up a Pure Yang Celestial Device.
Logically speaking, even an emperor should keep a low profile after picking up such a good thing. However, the Jin Emperor was out of his mind, or for some reason, he took out a Pure Yang Celestial Device as a prize.
"The World Hero Competition? Is he having a seizure? "
Hearing such a valiant name, Junior Leopard couldn't help but shiver.
"Your Excellency, the Emperor is such a smart person. How could he have a seizure? I think there must be a reason!" Jiang Xiao, who was standing aside, said.
"There must be a reason, but it's hard for us to guess what it is. There's no need to guess. Let's just treat it as a seizure!" Junior Leopard sneered, "A Pure Yang Celestial Device can indeed attract a lot of people to participate. By the way, what's the purpose of this World Hero Competition?"
"It's said that it's because of the destruction of Northern Yuan and the large-scale enfeoffment of Northern Yuan, which greatly boosted the prestige of the Jin Dynasty. The martial arts world contributed a lot in this war. If it weren't for the numerous martial arts experts who killed the prairie experts, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy. This time, the Ancient Ruins happened to appear, and the imperial family got a Pure Yang Celestial Device from it. Therefore, this World Hero Competition is held to show the national prestige of the Jin Dynasty and to let this Pure Yang Celestial Device have a bright owner and be widely used!"
"Just for this bullsh * t reason, they organized such a large-scale competition?"
"Yes!" Wang Cheng lowered his head and said, "There are no restrictions in this World Hero Competition. As long as you are a martial arts practitioner of the Jin Dynasty and have contributed to the war with Northern Yuan, you can participate, regardless of your level of martial arts. The final winner will get that Pure Yang Celestial Device!"
"What? You want to participate too?" Hearing the eagerness in Zhu Ba's tone, Junior Leopard asked with a smile.
"Hehe, Your Excellency, what are you talking about? Although this World Hero Competition is open to all martial artists of the Great Jin, it's not my turn. My cultivation is only at Level Four, and I'll be killed by those experts with one slap. It's better for you to go! “
Although you've been serving as a navy in Jiang City and have never been to the battlefield of Northern Yuan, when Northern Yuan was destroyed, the navy of Jiang City had been transporting provisions, so you can participate. As for the problem of cultivation, humph, this Pure Yang Celestial Device can attract thousands of people, but in the end, there's only one thing you can get. If you lose, you'll lose. It's not shameful. It's good to go and have a look. It's not your character to be cooped up here all day long! " “
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency!" Hearing this, Zhu Ba's face was full of joy and he repeatedly thanked him.
"By the way, you haven't told me what this Pure Yang Celestial Device is." “
