Although they did not know what they would gain, it was impossible that they did not gain anything other than the puppets after going through the six underground palaces.
However, after Chu Mu and the other three searched the sixth underground palace, they did not gain anything.
The four of them looked at each other.
"Could it be that the reward from the underground palace is the puppets?" Lian Hongyun said unwillingly.
Speaking of the puppets, they were not bad. The problem was that they could not control them.
Just as they were feeling disappointed, there was a vibration and the wall of the sixth underground palace cracked open. A new door appeared.
"There is more?" Gu Luankong was stunned. The group walked into the opened door immediately.
The tattered book didn't say anything. Everyone was on high alert.
This was a new underground palace. It could be said that it was the seventh underground palace. In the underground palace, there were a total of seven puppets arranged in a row.
The seven puppets had different appearances and colors. Each of them was at least two meters tall.
Two of them were slender, and the swords they wielded were thinner. However, one of them was black in color, as if it had been birthed from the darkness. The other was pure white, elegant, and holy. The last one was tall and strong, and it wielded a dark brown sword. It seemed to be even more intricate and powerful than the puppets in the first, second, and third chambers.
The other two puppets had normal appearances and their proportions were normal. The swords they held were long swords. One of them was red and the other was silver. The last one was between normal and slimmer. It held a soft sword that was green in color.
The last one was also the one in the middle. It had normal proportions and was between strong and agile. There were two swords on its back. They were silver in color and there were golden lines on the edges of the swords.
"Could it be a Level Seven Puppet Array?" Everyone's expression changed.
They almost couldn't pass the Level Six Puppet Array. Needless to say, they wouldn't be able to pass the Level Seven Puppet Array unless each of them had a major breakthrough in their cultivation and reached the level of a Two Star Saint. Only then would they have a chance of resisting it. If they wanted to pass the Level Six Puppet Array, each of them would have to reach the level of a Three Star Saint.
Moreover, although the seven different puppets did not give out powerful auras, they gave off different vibes.
Chu Mu released his Divine Soul power and carefully approached the seven puppets. He was surprised.
This was because he discovered that he could not see through the seven puppets. It was as if there was a layer of mysterious energy covering the puppets that blocked his Spiritual Energy.
I don't understand. I don't understand what's going on at all.
Following this, a wave of ripples appeared, startling Chu Mu and the others. They quickly circulated their energy within their bodies, and as they moved, the Four Divisions Sword Formation was set up. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise formed.
"Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions." Along with the ripples, a shadow appeared. It was a black-robed, middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes.
"Who are you?" Chu Mu asked.
"I …" The middle-aged man paused for a moment. "I am the last successor of the Puppet Sect. However, all that's left of me is a remnant of my Nascent Divinity. I'm here to pass down the legacy of the Puppet Sect."
Chu Mu and the others didn't say anything. They just stared fixedly at the middle-aged man's shadow. Their hearts were filled with shock.
The Ancient Sacred City had existed for god knows how long, but this person could still leave a remnant of his Nascent Divinity. It was enough to show that his means were extraordinary.
It should be known that the Nascent Divinity was said to be indestructible. However, once it reached the level of remnant of the Nascent Divinity, it meant that the Nascent Divinity had already dissipated. Only a bit of aura was left. It was very difficult to leave a remnant of the Nascent Divinity for a long period of time using a special method.
"The reason I left this underground palace behind is to choose a successor." The middle-aged man said, "You guys have passed through the underground palace and are qualified to pass down the legacy of the Puppet Sect. However, there are four of you, and only one of you can accept the legacy."
Chu Mu and the others didn't move. They weren't sure if this was a trap.
"Don't worry. I don't have any ill intentions, and I don't have any intention of taking over your body. I … just don't want the Puppet Sect's legacy to end here." The middle-aged man said calmly, "If I had any ill intentions, these seven Heavenly Puppets would be enough to capture all of you."
As the middle-aged man finished speaking, the seven Heavenly Puppets released powerful auras. All of them had reached the level of a Seven Star Saint.
"You guys discuss who will accept the legacy," the middle-aged man said.
Chu Mu and the others looked at each other.
"Puppet Sect. Just by hearing the name, I know that you guys walk the path of puppetry. Sword Dao has already made me put in all my effort," Lian Hongyun said.
"I only like fighting. The path of puppetry doesn't suit me," Yang Zhantian said.
"If I get distracted again, I'm afraid I'll be left behind by you," Gu Luankong said.
"So, you guys are determined to distract me from the path of puppetry and delay my progress," Chu Mu said with a smile.
"It's good that you know." Lian Hongyun patted Chu Mu's shoulder and laughed, "If I don't distract you, how can we work together happily in the future?"
The legacy of the Ancient Puppet Sect would definitely be extraordinary. Gu Luankong and the other two might really be what they thought, but they also had the intention of being humble.
Chu Mu smiled and didn't reject them. He strode out.
Indeed, there were seven Seven Star Saint puppets. If he wanted to possess them, he could just capture them directly. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
Besides, the middle-aged man's words were sincere. If he made a wrong judgment, it was his own fault.
This was like a gamble.
Opportunity, opportunity. If one wanted to obtain an opportunity, how could there be a good opportunity without taking a risk?
There was always a prerequisite for something like a pie falling from the sky.
Walking to the front of the middle-aged man's shadow, the middle-aged man nodded and pointed at Chu Mu. A ray of black light shot out and shot into Chu Mu's forehead. It continuously entered Chu Mu's mind. As the black light entered, the middle-aged man's shadow became fainter and fainter.
Chu Mu only felt that in his mind, lines of Ancient Divine Scriptures appeared and circled around his mind like chains.
Gu Luankong and the other two stood around Chu Mu, acting as his protectors.
Time passed quickly. After an hour, the middle-aged man's shadow had completely disappeared.
Chu Mu only felt that his head was stuffed, as if a huge rock was stuffed into it. It was extremely swollen and uncomfortable. He couldn't think and could only digest it bit by bit.
This was the inheritance, the inheritance of the Ancient Puppet Sect.
The contents were all Ancient Divine Scriptures. Chu Mu couldn't understand it, but he could understand the meaning within.
As he digested it, Chu Mu gradually understood that a small part of the inheritance was the origin of the Puppet Sect. The majority of it was a secret manual called the Heavenly Puppet Secret Manual, which was the true inheritance of the Puppet Sect. It included everything about the Puppet Sect.
This process took Chu Mu almost four hours to finish reading.
The Heavenly Puppet Secret Manual recorded the origin of puppets, the structure of puppets, the classification of puppets, how to create puppets, how to control puppets, how to use puppets to set up formations, etc. Everything was very detailed.
Chu Mu only finished reading and didn't comprehend it in detail as it would take a lot of time.
At the end, it was an introduction to the Heavenly Puppet and how to create it.
The Heavenly Puppet was the proudest puppet of the Ancient Puppet Sect. It was fundamentally different from ordinary puppets.
The complete Heavenly Puppet had its own intelligence. In other words, the complete Heavenly Puppet had the same intelligence as a human except for the structure of its body. Moreover, the Heavenly Puppet also had the ability to cultivate and increase its strength.
After Chu Mu finished reading, he was shocked. The Heavenly Puppet was like a creation of life, except for the structure of its body.
The Ancient Puppet Sect made him feel even more shocked.
Shortly after, Chu Mu opened his eyes and looked at the seven motionless puppets. The seven puppets were the Heavenly Puppets that the Ancient Puppet Sect had spent a lot of effort to create. However, they were incomplete Heavenly Puppets. They had the shape but didn't have intelligence.
However, the incomplete Heavenly Puppets could still be used and possessed great strength, the strength of a Seven Star Saint.
"How is it? Is the Puppet Sect very powerful?" Lian Hongyun immediately asked when she saw Chu Mu open his eyes.
"Very powerful." Chu Mu nodded. Just the Heavenly Puppets were enough to make one unable to underestimate the Puppet Sect. In the Ancient Era, the Puppet Sect was definitely not an ordinary sect.
Shortly after, Chu Mu waved his hand and the three incomplete Heavenly Puppets flew up and landed beside Gu Luankong and the other two.
Beside Gu Luankong was a silver Heavenly Puppet. Beside Yang Zhantian was a dark brown Heavenly Puppet. Beside Lian Hongyun was a red Heavenly Puppet.
"These are the Heavenly Puppets." As he spoke, Chu Mu roughly explained the Heavenly Puppets to the three of them.
"So powerful." Lian Hongyun's eyes lit up.
"These three are incomplete Heavenly Puppets. They don't have their own intelligence. However, they can be refined …" As he spoke, Chu Mu taught them the method to refine the Heavenly Puppets.
Gu Luankong and the other two immediately started to refine the Heavenly Puppets.
Refining was to drip blood on the Heavenly Puppets and imprint their Spiritual Power to establish a connection.
After refining the Heavenly Puppets, they would have a close connection with the three Heavenly Puppets.
"My Heavenly Puppets shall be named Red Fiend." Lian Hongyun said. Shortly after, she shouted in a flashy manner, "Red Fiend, arm yourself!"
The red Heavenly Puppet beside her moved and disintegrated. It turned into pieces that flew up and revolved around Lian Hongyun's body. Shortly after, pieces fell down and covered Lian Hongyun's body.
In the blink of an eye, Lian Hongyun turned into a Red Fiend Heavenly Puppet.
With a boom, an extremely powerful aura burst out from Lian Hongyun's body. It was like a volcano erupting. It was extremely powerful. It was the aura of a Seven-star Martial Saint.
Shortly after, everyone felt a red shadow flashing in front of them. The Red Fiend Heavenly Puppet disappeared. Shortly after, there was only a very faint red shadow moving rapidly in the Underground Palace. Even with Chu Mu's eyesight, he could only catch a blurry shadow, let alone Gu Luankong and Yang Zhantian.
Even a Seven-star Martial Saint couldn't compare to such speed. If it attacked, they would definitely be hit before they could even react.
