Over two hundred souls had been reduced to around a hundred and fifty in the end. He had only succeeded in enlightening the third Heavenly Puppet after expending an extremely large amount of souls.
The three Heavenly Puppets stood before him. The eyes of each Heavenly Puppet flickered with a weak light. It was the light that represented intelligence.
The three Heavenly Puppets all possessed a sliver of intelligence now, but they were still unable to move because they lacked energy.
Chu Mu took out a few dozen pure yang crystals and embedded them into the heavenly puppets. Each heavenly puppet had eighteen pure yang crystals, creating a complete energy circuit. Although the pure yang crystals contained abundant energy and each crystal was comparable to the energy of a seven star saint rank expert, they were still extremely powerful.
Eighteen pure Yang crystals were equivalent to the energy of seventeen seven-star Saints. It was enough for the Heavenly Puppets to use for quite a long time. Even so, there would be a day when they would run out of energy. The Heavenly Puppets that had gained intelligence were different. They could use the energy within their bodies to cultivate, absorbing the energy of the world outside and converting it into their own energy. At the same time, they would gradually change their state of existence, constantly improving themselves. As a result, their bodies would become stronger and the power they possessed would become greater and greater.
However, that would take a very long time.
They were puppets after all. No matter how extraordinary they were, they would still have their limitations. However, compared to other puppets, these Heavenly Puppets had already surpassed them by far, far too much.
"They've only gained a sliver of intelligence right now. They can't move as they please, nor can they cultivate as they please. It'll take at least a few dozen years or even a hundred years for this sliver of intelligence to become complete. That's far too long," Chu Mu thought. Afterwards, he looked at the remaining souls and made a decision.
After recovering the energy he had expended, he used the Burning Spirit Awakening technique again.
The Burning Spirit Awakening technique had two uses. The first was naturally to enlighten the Heavenly Puppets, allowing them to gain intelligence. The second was to burn the souls to nourish the sliver of intelligence in the Heavenly Puppets that had already gained intelligence, allowing the sliver of intelligence to grow faster and become complete faster.
One by one, the origin souls were burned by the Burning Soul Spirit Awakening Art. They turned into pure energy that wrapped around one of the heavenly puppets. As the origin souls burned and were nourished by the energy, the light in the eyes of the heavenly puppet that used the soft sword gradually brightened. This meant that its intelligence was also increasing.
Chu Mu stayed in Boundary Stele Hall. Day after day passed, his Essence Divinities burned up one by one. When their energy was exhausted, they would recover. When they recovered, they would burn up again. This cycle repeated.
Finally, after burning a hundred Primordial Spirits, the light in the Heavenly Puppet's eyes reached a level that was neither weak nor strong. Chu Mu breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt his scalp tingle.
If one were to divide the intelligence of the heavenly puppets, it could be divided into four levels: Entry, Small Success, Dacheng, and Great Perfection. Reaching Great Perfection meant that the intelligence was complete, just like an intelligent human.
When they had just gained a sliver of intelligence, the intelligence of the three heavenly puppets was already at the entry level. Now, after burning a hundred Primordial Spirits, the intelligence of the soft sword heavenly puppet had risen to the next level. It had reached the Small Success stage and had even reached the Peak of the Small Success stage. It was only a step away from Dacheng.
The Peak of the Small Success stage was not enough. Chu Mu continued to burn the remaining fifty over Primordial Spirits. As they burned, they turned into energy to nourish the puppet. Suddenly, the eyes of the heavenly puppet shot out an extremely sharp light. It gushed out and then calmed down and became round again.
Its intelligence had reached the level of Dacheng.
"Master." A voice sounded. The soft sword heavenly puppet's mouth moved slightly. It was a little stiff and a little obscure. Its voice was also not clear enough. However, Chu Mu could hear it clearly.
The Heavenly Puppet Secret Manual clearly stated that when a heavenly puppet with intelligence reached a certain level of intelligence, it would be able to speak.
Speaking was a sign that a heavenly puppet's intelligence was beginning to mature. It was also the beginning of a heavenly puppet's ability to cultivate on its own.
The structure of a heavenly puppet was very similar to a human body. After its intelligence matured, its eyes would be able to see like a human and its mouth would be able to open and close like a human. It was completely equivalent to a metallic human.
As for calling Chu Mu Master, the reason was very simple. Whoever used the Great Art of Burning Spirit and Awakening to awaken the heavenly puppet with intelligence would be recognized as its Master. This was a method used to create the heavenly puppet. It was a setting and also a kind of mystery.
"In the future, you will follow my surname Chu and your name will be Cangfeng," Chu Mu said with a smile. He was very excited. This kind of feeling could not be clearly expressed in words.
"Thank you for the name, Master." The soft sword heavenly puppet's second sentence was smoother than the first.
It was like a person who had just learned how to speak. At the beginning, he could not speak well. However, as long as he spoke boldly and was willing to speak, he would slowly improve. This was also applicable to the heavenly puppet. However, the process was shortened countless times.
"Your words are getting better and better." Chu Mu could clearly distinguish and smiled. All of this made him feel very familiar and very fresh.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Chu Cangfeng's eyes flashed slightly as he said with his mouth opening and closing.
One was a heavenly puppet that had just been born and its intelligence had matured. The other was a heavenly puppet that had personally enlightened it so that it had intelligence that was not inferior to that of a human. One could imagine the excitement in his heart. The two immediately began to communicate.
The heavenly puppet that had just been born with intelligence had almost a blank consciousness. It knew very little and needed someone to guide it. As Chu Cangfeng's master, Chu Mu would naturally guide him. It was equivalent to laying a foundation of knowledge for him. In addition, Chu Mu was also very curious about how the heavenly puppet cultivated.
It turned out that after the heavenly puppet was born with intelligence, it would gradually derive the most suitable cultivation method for them as their intelligence matured.
For example, Chu Cangfeng used a flexible sword, and the key to using a flexible sword was different from that of a normal sword. It was more flexible, more versatile, and more unpredictable. Thus, the cultivation techniques that he developed in the future would focus on flexibility, versatility, and strangeness.
There was another factor that would affect the derivation of cultivation methods, and that was energy. The attribute of the energy crystal embedded in the heavenly puppet would more or less have that attribute.
For example, the current Chu Cangfeng was embedded with a pure Yang crystal. Therefore, the cultivation method derived from it would not only have flexibility, but also the grandeur of pure Yang energy.
"Master, in fact, pure Yang energy is not suitable for us." Chu Cangfeng said, "The power that is suitable for me should be a power that can cooperate with my sword."
"For example?" Chu Mu asked.
"I am not sure, Master." Chu Cangfeng's tone seemed to be a little distressed. It was becoming more and more human.
Chu Cangfeng did not know, but as his master, Chu Mu naturally had to consider it.
The heavenly puppets were very precious. The complete version of the heavenly puppet was even more immeasurable. It could cultivate on its own and had unlimited potential. In the future, it would not be difficult for it to become a peerless master. Chu Mu naturally valued it and could not be careless.
"Cangfeng, if I remove the pure Yang crystal from your body, will it have a bad effect on you?" Chu Mu asked.
"Master, after removing the pure Yang crystal, I will not be able to move for the time being. There will be no other effect." Chu Cangfeng said, "However, Master, you have to find a suitable energy as soon as possible so that we can improve better."
"I will do it as soon as possible." Chu Mu said. He felt that his shoulders seemed to have become heavier.
He quickly took off the pure Yang crystal embedded in the three heavenly puppets. He did not want the cultivation method derived from them to have the characteristics of pure Yang energy while their intelligence was growing.
Not everyone was suitable to master the power of pure Yang. It may not increase their strength, but in turn, it may weaken their strength.
After removing the pure Yang crystal, the heavenly puppets' eyes were still shining, but they could not move because of the lack of energy to support them. However, Chu Cangfeng could still communicate with Chu Mu.
"Soft sword …" Chu Mu closed his eyes and thought.
Different swords had different ways of using them. Even if one practiced the same basic sword technique, it would lead to obvious differences in their swords.
For a long time, Chu Mu had been cultivating the long sword, and he was most proficient in it. However, when his attainments in swordsmanship reached his current level, it could be said that he had reached the level where one sword could understand ten thousand swords. Therefore, in his mind, in the spiritual world, Chu Mu made a simulation.
He used the power of his soul to construct his own figure. He reached out and the power of his soul condensed into a soft sword, and he began to cultivate.
The soft sword technique focused on the three main keys of wiping, cutting, and entangling. However, those were only the most basic keys. In addition, the soft sword could be straightened in an instant and thrust out like a long sword. It also had amazing power. The moment the soft sword was straightened, it would produce a strong elastic force. It was so strong that it could shatter mountains.
Therefore, the key to the soft sword could be defined as wiping, cutting, entangling, piercing, and entangling.
At the same time, the soft sword was flexible and strange. It could also have the ability to confuse the enemy. After analysis, the soft sword had many advantages.
However, Chu Mu finally defined it as two types. Since it was a sword, it must be able to kill the enemy. Therefore, it must have a sharp edge. For example, the power of the spirit sword could make the soft sword more powerful.
The other type was strange and flexible. Its lethality was slightly lacking, but it could confuse the enemy. It was better to entangle the enemy so that the enemy could not escape and was difficult to resist. In the end, they would be killed.
The first type focused on power. The second type focused on changes.
"If it's the first type, it should be a crystal with a sharp edge. If it's the second type, it should be an illusory crystal …"
Of course, it would be better to have both types at the same time. However, it was very difficult and they might even weaken each other.
After thinking it through, Chu Mu planned to choose one of the two types. As for which type, it would depend on which type of energy crystal he obtained first. After all, both types were not weak and had their strengths.
