The cave was quiet. There was no sound at all, not even the sound of the wind. It seemed to be a completely enclosed space.
Mo Wen looked thoughtfully at the winding stone steps. Then, he stepped onto the stone steps.
The moment he stepped onto the stone steps, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, crashing into Mo Wen's body. It was like the Milky Way descending from the Nine Heavens, crashing towards Mo Wen.
Mo Wen's body swayed and he almost fell off the stone steps. However, the next moment, a huge Inner Qi exploded from his body. Two rays of light, one gold and one black, swept out. The surrounding sand and stones flew and collided with the terrifying pressure.
After activating his Cultivation to the limit, his body stabilized. He stood upright on the stone steps and walked up step by step.
With every step he took, the pressure seemed to increase a little. However, the increase was not huge and was almost negligible. However, the increase of one step was not huge. A hundred steps … a thousand steps … So what if there were endless steps?
The stone steps in front of him seemed to have no end. No matter how long he walked, he couldn't reach the end.
Mo Wen curled his lips. This kind of test was very common. He had seen it in the Immortal Cultivation world. The purpose of these steps was actually very simple. The first was to eliminate those examinees with insufficient Cultivation. The pressure that descended from the sky could only be withstood by those with at least Qi Nucleation realm Cultivation.
If one couldn't even withstand the pressure, then there was naturally no need to continue with the later tests.
As for the second point, it was a test of one's patience and perseverance. Although the stone steps seemed endless, it could not possibly be endless. This was because this was not a dangerous prohibition, but an assessment. There was no killing trap that could not be solved.
Mo Wen walked up the stone steps expressionlessly. It was as though he was walking normally. His eyes were calm and his movements were natural. Although the higher he went, the stronger the pressure was, he seemed to not feel it at all.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, there was still an endless path in front of him. However, when Mo Wen took another step, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. It was as though a layer of clouds had been parted. The endless stone steps gradually disappeared from his eyes.
A huge space appeared in front of Mo Wen's eyes. He glanced at his surroundings and discovered that the space was about the size of two football fields. The surroundings were filled with quaint, pale stone walls. The entire space was empty, without any furnishings.
Mo Wen knew that he had most likely appeared in the space inside the stone tower. The scene just now was perhaps just an illusion.
Of course, he knew how magical the methods of immortal cultivators were, so no matter what happened, there was nothing strange about it.
A strange sound of metal clashing resounded in the silent space, followed by the rhythmic sound of strange footsteps.
Mo Wen's pupils constricted, and he suddenly looked towards a patch of darkness. In the darkness, a shining object gradually walked out, accompanied by the clanking sound of metal colliding.
When the thing walked out of the darkness completely, Mo Wen could see clearly that it was a dark blue metal monster. It looked like a robot with four limbs, a head, and eyes.
His eyes were like rubies, emitting a cold and strange red light. Once it appeared, its red eyes stared at Mo Wen. It moved its head clumsily, then slowly walked towards Mo Wen.
"Puppet!"
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. That thing was indeed a puppet. He had seen it before. Back in the Divine Pill Sect, there were many people who liked puppets. That was because most of the time, puppets were equivalent to their clones. The higher the level of the puppet, the more spiritual it was.
However, Mo Wen was only an ordinary registered disciple at that time, so he was not qualified to have such high-end things. At most, he had some understanding of them.
In the Immortal Cultivation world, there were countless magical things. Anything was possible. Puppets could only be considered the most common and common things. Many immortal cultivators were proficient in puppet techniques. The puppets that they refined had all sorts of uses, but most of the time, they were puppets that assisted their masters in battle.
Hence, most of the time, puppets had very strong combat abilities. The higher the cultivation of the immortal cultivator, the stronger the puppets that they possessed.
The puppet in front of him should only be a low-level puppet. Mo Wen could not feel a strong spiritual pressure wave from its body.
Even so, the puppet in front of him was still very difficult to deal with. After all, this thing belonged to the Immortal Cultivation world, not the secular world.
Once the puppet appeared, it had obviously locked onto its target. Its crimson eyes were constantly on Mo Wen.
The next moment, a blue light flashed on the puppet's body. Two machetes suddenly shot out from its arms and appeared in the huge mechanical hands.
Almost at the same time, two rays of machete light flashed. One on the left and the other on the right, two terrifying blades of wind swept over. In an instant, they crossed a distance of tens of meters.
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth twitched. Each of the two rays of machete light was equivalent to the full force attack of an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm. A mere Four stars assessment had produced such a powerful puppet. The Executor rank of the Huatian Palace was indeed not an exaggeration.
He did not clash head-on with the two rays of machete light. With such a terrifying Qi of Machete sweeping over, he did not want to be unlucky.
Using the Inch Travel Steps, his figure flashed and moved seven to eight meters. With another flash, he had already completely escaped the area covered by the Qi of Machete.
However, he did not stop. With one step, he could travel a thousand miles with one inch. In an instant, he had crossed a distance of more than ten meters. With two leaps and bounds, he appeared in front of the blue puppet.
Since things had come to this, he could only defeat the blue puppet in front of him. Otherwise, if the puppet continued to attack tirelessly, he would not be able to take it.
With a punch, the roar of the dragon and the roar of the tiger could be heard. A ferocious and overbearing aura swept all around. Mo Wen's first move was the Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist. He transformed his entire body's cultivation into the most direct force, crashing majestically towards the blue puppet.
With such a terrifying speed, the originally clumsy puppet could not react in time at all. Without any suspense, the punch landed on the shoulder of the blue puppet.
With a loud bang, the sound of metal colliding reverberated throughout the entire space. The terrifying impact caused the puppet to fly backwards.
However, halfway through its flight, the puppet flipped over and landed firmly on the ground.
On its shoulder, there was a small dent that was neither too deep nor too shallow. Compared to the huge size of the puppet, it seemed to be completely harmless.
The corner of Mo Wen's mouth twitched. Such a terrifying defense!
Just now, he had used his full force in that punch. Moreover, it was the Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist. The attack power created was something that even an ordinary ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm would not be able to take. However, it did not seem to have any effect on the puppet.
Such a terrifying defense power was almost unshakable. How could he defeat the puppet?
Mo Wen furrowed his brows. Facing such a steel monster, under normal circumstances, he would not know where to start.
Although the movements of the low-level puppet were clumsy and its attacks were inflexible, one must not forget that puppets did not know fatigue. If the battle continued for a long time, he might not be a match for a puppet.
He glanced at the puppet thoughtfully. He was calm, and he wasn't discouraged by his first failure.
Perhaps others would not be able to do anything to the steel monster, but he might not. That was because he had been in the Immortal Cultivation world before. His understanding of puppets was naturally not something that an ordinary person could compare to.
Every puppet had a weak point, commonly known as the eye of stratagem.
In reality, refining a puppet could only be done by knowledgeable Immortal Cultivators. This was because refining a puppet involved the knowledge of the Immortal Cultivation world's refining techniques, mechanisms, and stratagem techniques.
The reason why puppets could be controlled was that there were many stratagems inscribed on the body of the puppet, which were linked together as one. In other words, they were very similar to technological robots. The inscribed stratagems were like circuit boards. However, the puppets of the Immortal Cultivation world were far more amazing than the Miracle Man.
The so-called eye of stratagem was the core of the stratagem inscribed on the puppet. It was the most crucial part, like the heart of a human body.
In reality, the source of the puppet's power was also where the eye of stratagem was located.
The Immortal Cultivation world usually used spiritual stones as the source of power for puppets. Mo Wen did not know what the puppets on Earth used as their power source.
After all, there were many types of energy sources for puppets. Spiritual stones could only be said to be the most common type.
If he could find the location of the eye of stratagem on the puppet, which was where the energy source was located, and destroy it, the puppet would immediately become a pile of scrap metal. It would no longer be a threat to him.
However, when Immortal Cultivators were refining puppets, they would naturally consider this problem. Hence, they would usually hide the eye of stratagem very well, making it very difficult for others to find it. Only by completely destroying the puppet could the puppet be destroyed.
Mo Wen scrutinized the puppet. It was only a low-level puppet. Perhaps he could find the eye of the stratagem. After all, to Immortal Cultivators, this kind of low-level puppet was equivalent to cannon fodder. Very few people would spend any effort to hide the eye of the stratagem.
The puppet did not care what Mo Wen was doing. The order that its master had given it was to kill all living things in sight. Hence, the instant it landed from the sky, it launched another attack.
It took a few steps as a buffer, and the ground seemed to shake a few times. The two blue scimitars in its hands locked onto Mo Wen, who was in front of it. The next moment, they slashed down.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. The Tai Yin Qi in his body circulated wildly. The surrounding air instantly dropped. The water vapor that filled the air turned into ice beads and fell down.
He held his hands in a circle, so the ice beads suddenly surged towards him. All of them gathered in his hands. The next moment, a sparkling ice mirror appeared in front of him.
Two dark silhouettes descended from the sky. Two streaks of scimitars, which were as fast as lightning, did not land on Mo Wen. Instead, they directly collided with the ice mirror.
Immediately, the ice mirror shattered, and the sparkling shards flew everywhere.
However, Mo Wen used that moment as a buffer. His silhouette flashed and disappeared under the scimitars. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the blue puppet. He kicked the puppet's buttocks.
All the Inner Qi in his body instantly exploded. The Tai Yang Qi and Tai Yin Qi instantly merged into one. A terrifying formless wave spread out, instantly covering a radius of a hundred meters.
Almost in an instant, the puppet flew out once again. It was thrown far into the sky, and a sizable hole appeared on its body. (To be continued.)
