Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations There were many ways to refine puppets, but most of them were low-level and could only refine puppets below the Spirit Severing stage. Generally speaking, puppets above the Spirit Severing stage were very difficult to refine. Not only did it consume a lot of precious materials, but the puppets that were refined were also useless. They only had great strength, but not much intelligence. They could be easily killed in battle.
However, it was said that in the past, there was a refining method passed down from the Immortal Realm that could refine very powerful Five Elements Puppets. There were three main characteristics of this type of puppet. First, it could grow. It meant that if it was placed in a place with rich Five Elements Spiritual Qi, it could automatically grow and become stronger. It could even level up.
Second, it had intelligence. This type of puppet was very smart. In battle, it could cooperate with each other and use formations. It could even cast some simple but very practical auxiliary spells.
Last, it could revive indefinitely. It was said that as long as the core gem of this type of puppet was not destroyed, and as long as there was enough Spiritual Qi, it could automatically recover and its combat power would not be reduced.
With these three powerful characteristics, the refining method of this type of puppet was naturally very popular.
However, although this method was very powerful, the requirements were also very high. First, the person who used it had to be an Immortal, at least a Seventh Tribulation Scattered Immortal. Secondly, the materials required were more precious. Even the lowest level of Nascent Soul stage puppet had to be made with very high quality materials. Those materials could even be used to create or upgrade Spiritual Treasures.
With such harsh conditions, this method of refining puppets naturally didn't spread widely. In the end, it disappeared without a trace. Only those super experts above the Mahayana stage would have heard of it.
However, Song Zhong never thought that he would encounter this type of puppet here.
However, it was normal. The Wutu Divine Lord's cultivation was extraordinary and he was very knowledgeable. It was not strange that he knew the refining method of this type of puppet. The extremely rich Earth Element Spiritual Qi and a large amount of Earth Element Spiritual Qi determined that this place could indeed produce this type of puppet on a large scale. After the puppet was produced, even if it was only at the Nascent Soul stage, after so many years of nurturing in the Earth Element Spiritual Qi, it could probably become a Spirit Severing stage or even a higher existence.
As for which level it would reach, it would depend on the concentration of spiritual energy in its location, as well as the material and refining method of its gem core. Different materials and different refining methods would result in different growth rates for the refined puppets. In fact, the difference was huge. For example, in this temple, the puppet on the first floor had only grown to the middle stage of the Spirit Severing stage after so many years. However, the three puppets on the third floor had grown to the late stage of the Voiding Realm. This was the gap between them.
For the creator, this kind of puppet refinement problem was indeed a big problem. However, to an outsider like Song Zhong, this was an extremely precious treasure.
Because Divine Lord Wutu had left this place a long time ago and ascended to the world of immortals, the puppets here were ownerless. Therefore, the gemstones that controlled them didn't have anyone's consciousness imprint. The biggest feature of this kind of puppet was that all the control mechanisms were on the gem. In other words, this gem was now empty. As long as Song Zhong could get it and imprint his Spiritual Awareness, he could completely control it.
Three puppets at the late stage of the Voiding Realm, who wouldn't treat them as treasures? Moreover, there were hundreds of other puppets in this hall. Although their strength was a little low, they were still puppets at the Spirit Severing stage and above. Moreover, they could fight together. They could definitely be regarded as a powerful force. It would be strange if Song Zhong wasn't crazy with excitement!
Since he had obtained the weakness of the earth puppet, how could Song Zhong be polite? He was like a pervert who had seen a beauty. He rushed over while drooling. First, he used the mountain-breaking axe to smash the puppet. Then, he immediately reached out and snatched the white gem that was still shining. He didn't give Huang Guang a chance to repair it at all. He imprinted his Spiritual Awareness on it.
Then, under the illumination of the divine light in the hall, the puppet that already belonged to Song Zhong stood up again intact. However, this time, it no longer looked at Song Zhong with hatred. Instead, it stood respectfully behind Song Zhong.
Looking at his majestic new follower, SongZhong could not help but laugh out loud in delight. Then, he began to work even harder.
In a short time, the three puppets all became Song Zhong's pets. As a price, Song Zhong only used one-third of the spiritual power in his body, which was used to activate the mountain-breaking axe.
After Song Zhong obtained the three big puppets, the gold-devouring beast Little Huzi still didn't know what was going on. It was still biting them relentlessly. Song Zhong had to stop it, which prevented it from killing each other.
Although due to Song Zhong's order, Little Huzi stopped attacking, but he still stared at the three big guys vigilantly. He didn't understand why they suddenly became his people.
Song Zhong didn't have time to talk to this guy. Since there was such a good opportunity, he naturally had to make use of it.
Therefore, Song Zhong commanded the three big puppets to summon more than 200 Void Refining stage flower demons from his life space. Together, they walked to the second floor.
The eighteen early Void Refining stage puppets on the second floor were also a lot of fighting power. Song Zhong didn't intend to give up. When he came down with a large number of troops, the eighteen puppets appeared again.
There was no surprise or fear in their simple minds, so they didn't care how powerful Song Zhong's lineup was this time. They still gathered together and rushed to kill. Their dozens of feet tall figures, combined with the momentum of running together, really formed a kind of boundless murderous aura.
This time, Song Zhong didn't choose to escape. He directly ordered the three big puppets and the gold-devouring beast Little Huzi to fight the eighteen puppets head-on, while the others attacked from behind.
Soon, the battle between the two sides began. The first to attack were the flower demons. As Song Zhong's disciples, they naturally had spirit treasures in hand. At this time, they showed their power together. Countless powerful brilliance flew out in an instant. Some were flying swords, some were divine thunder, some were mountains, some were waves, all kinds of magic, and some were sword Qi. They formed a large light curtain and smashed over.
After being hit by so many large-scale attacks, the outer armor of the puppets began to crack. Their bodies also began to wobble, and they no longer had the terrifying force of impact. However, as they were injured, the damn yellow light appeared again, making their broken parts recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. Obviously, there was a special formation in this hall responsible for releasing the yellow light, the purpose was to speed up their recovery.
Song Zhong didn't want to fall into a bitter battle, so he didn't give them a chance to fully recover. He rushed over with the three puppets and Little Huzi. The four of them were responsible for smashing the broken puppets, while Song Zhong was responsible for snatching the gems and inputting his own spiritual sense imprint.
With the help of absolute force, Song Zhong didn't spend much time to subdue all the eighteen puppets. And because he didn't use the mountain-breaking axe, he didn't consume much spiritual power.
After easily taking care of the 18 puppets, the greedy SongZhong set his sights on the other Spirit Severing Puppets. Although the Spirit Severing puppets' individual fighting strength was no longer in Song Zhong's eyes, but how could they fight against so many? A few hundred Spirit Severing Stage cultivators in a formation was still a terrifying force.
So Song Zhong didn't dislike them and immediately led a large army to kill them. Although the number of opponents this time was more, Song Zhong also had the help of the eighteen puppets, so his fighting strength soared again.
The next process could only be described in one word, that was, irresistible! Song Zhong had forty to fifty masters of the Void Refinement realm on his side, so it was naturally easy to deal with a group of Spirit Severing puppets. Before the opposite side had time to complete the formation, Song Zhong directly let the flower demons use the spirit treasure in their hands to break a large number of puppets, completely destroying their formation.
Then it was a one-sided massacre. Dozens of masters of the Void Refinement realm, like tigers in a flock of sheep, beat those puppets in the blink of an eye, and broken limbs were everywhere!
Although the yellow divine light had been shining, in front of this group of strong guys, those poor puppets didn't even have a chance to be completely repaired. Only half of them were repaired, and they would be broken again.
In this case, Song Zhong's job became extremely simple. He just had to keep finding the gems and imprint them with his spiritual awareness.
However, although this job was simple, it was not easy to do. After all, the gem was too small, only the size of a walnut. Moreover, it was mixed in with the yellow soil of similar colors. It was very difficult to find. Therefore, the entire process of subduing the puppet lasted for more than four hours. During this period of time, some of those puppets were even shattered several hundred times. Yet, even at the very last moment, they continued to repair themselves. From this, it could be seen how powerful those puppets were.
After cleaning up all the puppets in the temple, Song Zhong was a little tired. In order to deal with the next battle, he entered his Life Space and sat cross-legged to meditate under the protection of a large group of followers.
After a few hours, Song Zhong, who had completely recovered, appeared again in high spirits. First, he put all his followers into his Life Space, and then swaggered to the third floor again to continue to check if there was a transmission formation to the next floor.
This time, as soon as Song Zhong came up, he saw a huge whirlpool in the middle of the hall, just like the special passage to the Wutu Divine Palace.
