As the saying goes, three heads are better than Zhuge Liang.
Chu Mu and the other three weren't cobblers. Each one of them had astonishing comprehension abilities, outstanding talent, and abundant knowledge. Under the efforts of the four of them, the ancient characters on the tattered book were translated one by one by them.
"We have finally finished translating everything." Lian Hongyun heaved a sigh of relief. She rubbed her eyebrows and sighed in relief.
Even with his talent, translating these ancient characters was a very troublesome task.
They had never learned the ancient characters and could only rely on their past knowledge to search their memories. Comparing the current characters with some impressions, it was undoubtedly very taxing on their brains.
The contents recorded in the tattered book were closely related to the underground palace puppets. It did not mention the origin of the underground palaces, but only introduced them. There were a total of six underground palaces. The first underground palace had 18 puppets, all of which had the strength of a One Star Martial Saint. After forming a Level One Puppet Formation, they had the strength to fight against a Three Star Martial Saint.
The second underground palace had 15 puppets, all of which had the strength of a Two Star Martial Saint. After forming a Level Two Puppet Formation, they could fight against a Four Star Martial Saint.
The third underground palace had 12 puppets, all of which had the strength of a Three Star Martial Saint. After forming a Level Three Puppet Formation, they could fight against a Five Star Martial Saint.
The fourth underground palace had nine puppets, all of which had the strength of a Four Star Martial Saint. After forming a Level Four Puppet Formation, they could fight against a Six Star Martial Saint.
The fifth underground palace had six puppets, all of which had the strength of a Five Star Martial Saint. After forming a Level Five Puppet Formation, they could fight against a Seven Star Martial Saint.
The sixth underground palace had three puppets, all of which had the strength of a Six Star Martial Saint. After forming a Level Six Puppet Formation, they could fight against an Eight Star Martial Saint.
Chu Mu and the other three looked at each other.
"To be honest, Chu Mu, you can beat the sixth underground palace, right?" Lian Hongyun stared at Chu Mu and said.
"You think too much." Chu Mu smiled bitterly.
Although there were only three puppets in the sixth underground palace, each of them had the strength of a Six Star Saint. The Level Six Puppet Array that they formed had the strength to contend against an Eight Star Saint.
Not to mention fighting against an Eight-Star Martial Saint, just any one of the three puppets was enough to defeat Chu Mu and the others.
If it were a one-on-one battle, Chu Mu would still be able to resist and even destroy the puppets in the fifth underground palace. However, when they formed a formation, he was no match for them at all. After all, they were powerful enough to contend against a Seven-star Saint.
Lian Hongyun was also joking.
If Chu Mu could really fight against an Eight Star Saint as a One Star Saint, even if it was just an ordinary Eight Star Saint, then it could only be said that this world was too ridiculous.
"Are we really going to retreat like this?" Yang Zhantian asked, his tone filled with unwillingness.
In any case, they had reached the third underground palace and could enter the fourth one. Were they going to stop here?
Just thinking about it made him feel indignant. He had gained nothing.
"Don't worry, there is more content." Chu Mu said.
He continued to read the introduction of the puppets, their attack methods, the location of their cores, etc. There were actually two types of puppets. One type was the one that Chu Mu and the others had encountered earlier, the puppets from the first, second, and third underground palaces. The other type was a puppet that they had not seen yet. It might be at the end.
This introduction gave Chu Mu and the others a deeper understanding of the puppets.
After that, it was the Puppet Array.
The Puppet Array was divided into six levels. However, this old book only listed the first level of the Puppet Array.
To Gu Luankong and the others, this Puppet Array was not very useful. In other words, they did not gain much after reading it. However, it was different for Chu Mu. He had studied the Level Two and Level Three Puppet Arrays before, but he had not studied the Level One Puppet Array. There were always some gaps. Now, it was filled in.
In an instant, Chu Mu had a deeper understanding of the Puppet Array.
Finally, there was a move that looked like a secret technique. It was called the Light of Puppet Destruction.
After Chu Mu and the others saw it, they were delighted.
"Light of Puppet Destruction. I see. This is the key to passing through the Puppet Array." Lian Hongyun said happily.
Yang Zhantian and Gu Luankong were also delighted.
As the name suggested, the Light of Puppet Destruction was a secret technique that targeted the puppets.
After mastering the Puppet Destruction Ray, it would be able to weaken the strength of the puppet upon striking it.
The Light of Puppet Destruction was divided into three levels, Level One, Level Two, and Level Three. The Light of Puppet Destruction would weaken the puppet's strength by ten percent. The Level Two Light of Puppet Destruction would weaken the puppet by twenty percent, and the Level Three Light of Puppet Destruction would weaken the puppet by thirty percent.
If one mastered the Level Three Light of Puppet Destruction, they would be able to weaken the puppet by thirty percent.
Thirty percent was a ratio.
The stronger the puppet was, the more it would be weakened.
"Even if it is weakened by thirty percent, a Six Star Saint puppet would still be stronger than a Five Star Saint puppet." Gu Luankong frowned.
That was true. A thirty percent reduction was very obvious. However, when the difference in strength was huge, it would not make much of a difference.
"There should be hope." Chu Mu thought for a while and said. He then started to study it carefully.
After a while.
"I have a guess, but I don't know if it is true." Chu Mu said. The three of them looked at him and said, "The puppets that form the Puppet Array must have the same strength. If their strengths are not equal, the Puppet Array will not be able to operate smoothly."
"As for whether it is true or not, we will know once we enter the fourth underground palace."
"However, before we enter the fourth underground palace, we should study the Puppet Array first." Chu Mu said, "If it is possible, we can form an array to fight against the Puppet Array."
"Using an array to break an array." Lian Hongyun nodded seriously.
The four of them immediately started to study it. Although it was called studying, it was actually Chu Mu who was teaching them. After all, Chu Mu's understanding of the Puppet Array was much better than theirs.
They had all studied battle arrays before. They studied the mysteries of the Puppet Array, how to fight against it, how to break it, and how to find a battle array that could fight against it.
In the end, Chu Mu and the three of them chose the Sword Array of the Four Symbols that Gu Luankong had obtained from a fortuitous encounter. It was much more profound and powerful than the normal Sword Array of the Four Symbols.
This was a battle array that could be used to attack and defend. The four of them had the same cultivation, but Chu Mu was the strongest. Therefore, Chu Mu stood in the Azure Dragon position and was in charge of both attack and defense.
Gu Luankong stood in the White Tiger position, Lian Hongyun stood in the Vermilion Bird position, and Yang Zhantian stood in the Black Tortoise position. The three of them were in charge of supporting Chu Mu.
After choosing the battle array, the four of them formed it and started to practice it.
The four of them were all monstrous geniuses. They had great comprehension abilities. With hard work, they quickly mastered the Sword Array of the Four Symbols.
"Now, let's practice the Light of Puppet Destruction." Chu Mu said.
He was the strongest. Gu Luankong and the other two didn't like him at the beginning, but now, they admired him. Subconsciously, they also saw Chu Mu as their leader.
The Sword Array of the Four Symbols had been mastered. All that was left was to practice it in actual combat.
They started to practice the Light of Puppet Destruction.
The Light of Puppet Destruction was difficult, but it wasn't that difficult either. The key was in one's comprehension ability.
That's right, the Light of Puppet Destruction was a secret skill that required a lot of comprehension ability.
If one didn't have enough comprehension ability, they wouldn't be able to understand it. Even if someone explained it to them, they wouldn't be able to understand it. However, if one had enough comprehension ability, they would be able to understand it quickly and practice it.
In terms of comprehension ability, Chu Mu was naturally very strong. Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian, and Lian Hongyun were all monstrous geniuses as well.
Not long after, Chu Mu was the first to understand it. He started to practice it, followed by Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian, and Lian Hongyun.
After about an hour, Chu Mu mastered the Level 1 Light of Puppet Destruction.
He rubbed his fingers together and a white light shot out. It shot through the void and disappeared.
Without a target, Chu Mu wasn't sure how effective it was.
However, this was only the Level 1 Light of Puppet Destruction. It wasn't practical enough. He continued to practice it.
Chu Mu started to practice the Level 2 Light of Puppet Destruction. Gu Luankong and the other two started to practice the Level 1 Light of Puppet Destruction.
As time passed, Gu Luankong was delighted. He finally mastered the Level 1 Light of Puppet Destruction. Next, he started to practice the Level 2 Light of Puppet Destruction.
After another 15 minutes, Yang Zhantian and Lian Hongyun also mastered the Level 1 Light of Puppet Destruction. Chu Mu mastered the Level 2 Light of Puppet Destruction.
Next, it was time to practice the Level 3 Light of Puppet Destruction.
In the end, Chu Mu mastered the Level 3 Light of Puppet Destruction. Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian, and Lian Hongyun mastered the Level 2 Light of Puppet Destruction. It wasn't that they didn't want to learn the Level 3 Light of Puppet Destruction. It was just that the Level 3 Light of Puppet Destruction was too difficult. It would take them a long time to master it.
"Let's enter the fourth underground palace." Chu Mu said.
They opened a secret door and entered the fourth underground palace.
There were a total of nine puppets in the fourth underground palace. These puppets were different from the puppets in the previous three underground palaces. They didn't look as strong, but they were very agile. The swords they used weren't big swords, but long swords.
Based on their appearances and the introduction of the Puppet Destruction Book, the puppets in the first three underground palaces focused on strength. The puppets in the last three underground palaces focused on speed.
"Form the formation." Chu Mu said.
The four of them got into position and formed the Sword Formation of the Four Symbols. They quickly approached the puppets.
The puppets were also activated. Their eyes shone with a sharp light as they moved quickly.
The Level 4 Puppet Formation was much more intricate than the Level 3 Puppet Formation. The puppets didn't move in all directions. Instead, they attacked Chu Mu and the others.
A Level 4 Puppet Formation formed by nine Four Star Saint level puppets was enough to fight against a Six Star Saint. If Chu Mu fought alone, he would only be able to hold on for a short while.
However, the Sword Formation of the Four Symbols formed by the four of them was enough to kill a Six Star Saint. It was no problem for it to fight against a Level 4 Puppet Formation.
A battle formation against a battle formation. Using the opponent's Level 4 Puppet Formation to train their Sword Formation of the Four Symbols. This allowed them to cooperate better and use their strength more accurately.
Actual combat was many times more effective than practice. Not long after, Chu Mu and the other three had a deeper understanding of the Sword Formation of the Four Symbols. Chu Mu also further studied the mysteries of the Level 4 Puppet Formation. The lines and nodes of power appeared.
However, this time, Chu Mu didn't break the formation. Instead, he used the Light of Puppet Destruction. With a rub of his fingers, a white light shot out and hit one of the puppets.
After the puppet was hit by the Light of Puppet Destruction, its originally fast speed suddenly decreased …
